Traveling through the Qin Dynasty, I seized the throne of Ying Zheng's father

Chapter 254 Many houses collapsed.

"They are all farming families. They don't have extra money to pay for medical treatment for their elderly relatives. If they catch a cold, they can only rely on themselves to bear it."

"Young people may be able to get through it, but the elderly are too old and their physical condition is indeed not as good as that of young people, so they cannot get through it. However, this data was collected a few days ago, and the specific number of people has not yet been counted."

Lord Zhou was also very sad, as these people were, after all, his subjects.

It's really hard to accept that someone who was perfectly healthy died because of the snow disaster.

They've lived to this age with great difficulty.

He would soon be able to receive subsidies from the imperial court because of his advanced age and longevity, but he died just like that.

It's truly a pity.

Lord Zhou could understand those families who couldn't afford medical care for their elderly relatives because they didn't have the money.

In this era, for example, those families.

Even some slightly wealthier families cannot afford to treat patients whose conditions have worsened.

They're far too young. Perhaps we'd take them to a clinic, but in this day and age, it's unnecessary to spend that money.

Those elderly people also did not want to be a burden on their family members.

They've lived to this age; even if they die, they have no regrets.

This is the death toll caused by the snow disaster.

If it weren't for the snow disaster, they might have survived and lived for a few more years.

But who could have imagined that a snow disaster would occur?

Fusu breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing the number 300.

However, the thought that these 300 were living, breathing people who died because of the snow disaster made him feel sad.

Who would have thought a snowstorm would happen here?

Who would have thought that those elderly people would die from freezing or catching a cold?

But now he has brought supplies.

We will never again let people die because they can't afford medical treatment.

So Fusu nodded and said, "I brought a lot of medicinal herbs with me this time. These herbs can be cheaper, or even free. They only need to pay the doctor's fee to receive treatment."

"In this way, there shouldn't be so many people dying because they can't afford medical treatment. Even if an elderly person gets sick, a single visit won't cost much, and their family should be able to show filial piety."

“The elderly are indeed weaker. Since you already know that the weather is too cold and some people may die in their sleep without realizing it, you can tell the ordinary people to be more careful.”

Fusu felt that since they had already discovered the situation, they should inform the relevant families so that they would pay attention.

After all, this kind of thing must be guarded against, otherwise no one knows how many people will die without realizing it.

With precautions in place, at least the death toll can be reduced.

If you have a large family, you can also switch jobs.

Fusu felt that based on his brief contact with Lord Zhou...

Surely Lord Zhou isn't so dense that he wouldn't know to pass on this kind of information!

News travels very slowly among the villagers.

Perhaps those people are unaware of this situation and are not prepared.

This requires Lord Zhou to send someone down to explain how to prevent problems before they occur when the snow is heavy.

Those houses that collapsed were also because their houses weren't damaged enough.

Simply clearing the snow off the roof regularly can prevent the house from collapsing.

How come so many houses were still damaged by the impact?

It must be that those people didn't take it seriously enough and didn't know about clearing snow from the roof.
