When the emperor came, Yin Shuangshuang was forced to lie on the bed and drink medicine by Luo Linlang, and Yin Shuangshuang was not allowed to go to the window to look at the snow again.

Yin Shuangshuang has been coughing badly these past two days, and she is worried about whether the snow outside is getting heavier and heavier. She can't help but look at it, and her cough becomes even worse when she catches the wind.

When the emperor came, Yin Shuangshuang naturally couldn't stay in bed. Luo Linlang could only reluctantly help Yin Shuangshuang change clothes and help Yin Shuangshuang go to the front hall to meet the emperor.

Nowadays, Luo Linlang's dress is very low-key, her clothes are simple, and they are still made of fine cloth inside, but the outside is made of coarse cloth without any embroidery.

No makeup was applied to her face, her hair covered half of her face, and her color was only five out of ten. She no longer looked stunning, but looked ordinary.

It's not that Yin Shuangshuang is reluctant to dress Luo Linlang, nor is it that Yin Shuangshuang doesn't want Luo Linlang to dress herself up.

But Luo Linlang knew that her face was too troublesome, and there were many dignitaries around here, so she deliberately dressed herself up to be ugly just in case.

Luo Linlang didn't have the slightest idea of ​​trying to be a savior. The people she saw most in the flower house were the so-called men from wealthy families. Luo Linlang couldn't look down on any of those men who were crazy about sex.

Luo Linlang's hands were a little rough from working, but her skin was still fair and her fingers were still slender and very beautiful.

Luo Linlang was already on the thin side, and Yin Shuangshuang's slender hand rested on hers. It looked even thinner than hers, and there was a shocking feeling, as if it would break if not careful.

As if holding something fragile, Luo Linlang held Yin Shuangshuang's hands and entered the front hall together.

Luo Linlang's support was real. The colder the weather, the weaker Yin Shuangshuang's body became. She already felt tired after just walking a few steps.

Yin Shuangshuang put almost half of her body weight on Luo Linlang, who was supporting her on one side. She just barely maintained her manners so as not to look rude.

Knowing that Yin Shuangshuang was not in good health, the emperor waved his hand casually before Yin Shuangshuang saluted after entering the door.

"No gifts. If you are not in good health, don't bother. You don't need to use so many gifts when you see me in the future. It's not a formal occasion." After saying this, the emperor pointed to the chair next to him and asked Yin Shuangshuang to sit down.

After Yin Shuangshuang thanked him, he sat down carefully. Looking at the emperor's gloomy face, Yin Shuangshuang did not beat around the bush, and she had no intention of beating around the bush, and went straight to the topic.

"The emperor's face is full of sadness, but are you worried about the continuous snowstorms in the past few days and the people's inability to survive the winter?"

The emperor held a string of rosary beads in his hand and twirled the beads in his hand irritably, with a cloud of sadness on his face.

"I really can't hide anything from you. The officials below came to report that many houses of people in the suburbs of Beijing were collapsed by the heavy snow.

Most people's houses are made of mud and thatch. It is already difficult to keep out the cold, and many people's houses are already old.

After a heavy snowstorm, countless people's houses were crushed, and the people had nowhere to protect themselves from the cold, and many elderly people and young children had frozen to death."

When the emperor said this, he frowned deeply. This matter really bothered him. However, the officials below were passing the blame to each other and did not come up with a solution in the end.

What is despicable is that all those aristocratic families are so rich that their private treasury is richer than the national treasury, but they are unwilling to donate some money to build houses for the people.

The emperor is willing to withdraw money from the treasury, but the money in the treasury is not rich.

The emperor also wants to start a war against the barbarians. Once the barbarians start a war, the barbarians in the south will definitely start a war. This war will cost money everywhere, and the money in the treasury cannot be easily moved. The emperor's hair is so worried that his hair will turn gray.

Because he was too upset, the emperor wanted to find a place to relax. As soon as he went out, he didn't know where to go. He thought about Yin Shuangshuang.

In fact, he came to see Emperor Yin Shuangshuang for another idea. He wondered if Yin Shuangshuang was so smart and would come up with any way to solve his current problem.

Yin Shuangshuang did not disappoint the emperor. After hearing the emperor's complaints, Yin Shuangshuang stood up and said with a smile: "There is something from the common people that may be able to solve the emperor's urgent needs. Please come and have a look."

Although he had hopes in his heart, the emperor did not expect that Yin Shuangshuang could really solve his urgent need, and it seemed that he had already prepared it and was waiting for him to come and see it.

The emperor stood up with some anticipation and followed Yin Shuangshuang out.

Yin Shuangshuang and the emperor got up and walked outside. Eunuch Gao and Luo Linlang hurriedly added cloaks to their masters. It was so cold outside, and wearing thin clothes would not be good if you got cold.

Yin Shuangshuang took the emperor to the backyard, where she and Yan Yi and others had prepared things for the snowstorm to provide shelter for the people.

As soon as the emperor entered the backyard, he saw a large round snow bag in the middle of the backyard, which was the size of a house, but a little lower.

A closer look revealed that this was not a snow bag, but a snow house made of snow, with a door open that required bending to enter, and a fur curtain hung in front of the door.

Yan Yi stepped forward and opened the curtain, and Yin Shuangshuang entered the snow house early. The emperor followed him in with a look of surprise on his face.

After entering, I discovered that the light in the snow house was not dark, because there were two large ice bricks acting as windows, and the sunlight was refracted through the ice, giving the snow house a bright light.

As soon as the emperor entered the snow house, he could clearly feel that it was very warm in the snow house. Although it was not as good as a real house, he would definitely not freeze to death if he lived in it.

Yin Shuangshuang signaled Yan Yi to light up the fire. The snow house was very stable and showed no sign of melting. Obviously, it was possible to light a fire and cook here.

Yin Shuangshuang looked around the emperor, who always had a look of surprise on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, this snow house is simple to build. The snow is compacted and cut into snow bricks, piled into a circle, and then watered with water to reinforce it, leaving two places.

Ventilation holes and door openings should be lowered to prevent wind and snow from pouring back.

This house is simple and fast to build, which is enough for the people to survive the coldest season. When the weather gets warmer, the people can build their own new houses."

The emperor stayed in the snow house for a long time, and then he excitedly took Yan Yi and others away who were building the snow house. Although building a snow house is simple, there are some tricks to making it strong, and Yan Yi and others happened to have experience.

, can you help give me some advice on how to build it.

The emperor left very quickly. Now that the people are suffering from the disaster, there is no need to delay. Now that we have a solution, we must implement it immediately.

Yin Shuangshuang suggested that the emperor pull out the army to help the people build snow houses, and the people would do it themselves, which would make it much faster. The emperor thought this was a good strategy. The army was idle anyway, so why not help the people do something?
