Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Yes, firewood is limited and food is becoming increasingly scarce. In such extreme temperatures, how to survive has become the most serious problem at the moment.

The men in the room were vying for suggestions, while the women in the next room had nothing to say, just wrapped in blankets and hugged their children tightly, at a loss. The children curled up in their mothers' arms, each with red eyes and sobbing with tears in their eyes.

Coincidentally, this cold wave not only wreaked havoc in this small mountain village, but even covered the three major dynasties and all the surrounding small and medium-sized countries.

……

When I woke up early the next day, I could hear the rustling sound of snowflakes hitting the window outside, accompanied by the whistling of the wind. Just listening to it made me shiver.

Early in the morning, the Seventh Uncle dispatched people from the farm to carefully wrap the huge sand table model with three layers of thick linen inside and outside. He then dragged the yawning Lin Xiaoyue into the modified carriage and drove all the way to the palace.

Lin Xiaoyue was holding a heater, wearing thermal underwear inside, and several heat packs, tight thin fleece, sweater and trousers, a thick cotton jacket outside, a hat and a mask on her head, two layers of thick socks on her feet, knee-high boots, gloves and scarf, and a fur coat on the outermost layer. She was wrapped up completely without any leakage, and she went out and got into the carriage like a ball.

Her shocking ball-like appearance almost stunned everyone.

Lin Xiaoyue's teeth were chattering:...Don't bother me, I'm afraid of the cold.

In order to prevent strong winds and slipping, the carriage could only drive slowly on the road, and the strong wind whistled outside the window.

After a long time, Lin Xiaoyue rolled down the car window and looked out. There was a strong wind outside, and the streets were covered with snow. People were coming and going, with their hands in their sleeves, hunched backs, walking through a world of white, as if the world was about to be swallowed up by the biting wind and snow.

She carefully took out the thermometer and measured the daytime temperature, which was minus 18°.

The apocalyptic experiences of her previous two lives told her that in modern times with advanced technology, if the world suddenly enters the apocalypse and encounters extreme weather, the whole world will face multiple challenges such as deteriorating living environment, interruption of energy supply, obstructed transportation, damaged agricultural production, spread of disease, disordered social order, population migration and difficulty in international aid.

Moreover, in the ancient times when material resources were scarce and the living environment was extremely harsh, facing the extreme low temperature of more than ten degrees below zero, it would be difficult for people here to survive if they did not have sufficient warming measures and survival skills.

Lin Xiaoyue, who had been busy making sand tables in the workshop, had never thought that after the extremely hot weather, in this plane and this dynasty, she would once again face the survival crisis brought by the extremely cold weather.

And just now, she clearly saw people shivering and freezing pale, standing in long queues in the wind and snow on both sides of the road.

In front of this young man, heavy snow fell, and soon the shoulders of the people standing in the long queue were covered with a layer of white snow.

The officials struggled to maintain order and allowed the common people to buy food in an orderly manner at the grain store.

Obviously, most people are aware of the crisis brought about by this natural disaster. Therefore, they start to stock up on food in order to cope with the cold wave crisis that may never end.

The carriage was swaying as it moved. Lin Xiaoyue and the Seventh Prince in the carriage had solemn expressions and remained silent.

She didn't know whether the court would take a series of measures to save the people and mitigate the impact of the disaster. What measures were taken? What results were achieved? How many people living in the Dayuan Dynasty died in this extreme cold wave?

This series of serious problems is starkly laid before us.

Although she was not in that position, she was in this plane and was reborn in the Great Source King period. Naturally, she hoped that everything here would be fine, so that she could better enjoy the new life after rebirth.

And from what she had seen, the emperor here was a fairly enlightened one.

If the emperor was brutal, cruel, and regarded human life as worthless, she could just keep herself out of trouble and just take care of the Lin family in Wanbao Town.

However, the emperor and the seventh uncle she came into contact with were both superiors who loved their people like their own children.

Because they had known each other for a while, or perhaps because of her own childish and ridiculous sense of responsibility, she wanted to do her best.

??The carriage swayed along the way, driving from East Gate Street into the majestic imperial palace.

Because they were riding in the carriage of the Seventh Prince's uncle, the guards at the gate did not make things difficult for them. They just roughly checked the people in the carriage and quickly let them pass.

When the Seventh Prince, Lin Xiaoyue and a group of people carrying sand table models arrived outside the imperial study, the emperor had already finished his morning court and summoned the cabinet ministers to discuss disaster relief.

In the imperial study room.

The fragrance of books and ambergris curled up in the air, enveloping the entire study in a peaceful and solemn atmosphere.

Through the door of the imperial study, one could hear the emperor inside slamming the table and angrily scolding several cabinet ministers, saying that the extreme weather had caused a large number of deaths. However, none of these ministers, who were in office but doing nothing, had come up with effective warming measures and medical methods to resist the cold weather. The emperor was so angry that he pointed at the minister and scolded him again.

A few people were thinking of waiting outside to avoid the limelight, but heavy snow fell from the sky, and a chill blew over, and everyone couldn't help but shiver.

The Seventh Prince even sneezed loudly, rubbed his nose with his hand in a very ungraceful manner, waved his hand, and invited everyone to come in and wait in the side hall.

It's a very cold day. If you stand outside in the cold wind, you will get frozen.

Fortunately, silver frost charcoal was also lit in the side hall, and the heat around it quickly dispelled the coldness of everyone.

Given the Seventh Uncle's carefree personality, he had no intention of waiting in the side hall for the Emperor to finish dealing with important matters in the Imperial Study before meeting him.

His loud sneeze outside the imperial study door was a reminder to the emperor that his uncle was waiting for him outside.

This "silent" urging also caused the emperor in the imperial study to pause in his scolding of the ministers, and he raised his hands to cover his face helplessly.

Seventh uncle, how can he continue to fire at the elders who are shrinking their necks and being scolded? His train of thought was interrupted by your sneeze.

The emperor wiped his eyes and paced back and forth in the imperial study. Finally, he could not bear it any longer and sighed helplessly. He asked the ministers to think it over carefully in the imperial study, and he strode away to a side hall.

As they watched the bright yellow figure leave, the cabinet ministers couldn't help but sweat dripping down their foreheads.

The sudden natural disaster really caught them off guard.
