Chapter 3962: Responsibilities and obligations

Although ancient China did not have the concept of the Little Ice Age, since the concept of Tai Shi Ling, China has always had professionals and professional families engaged in astronomy and astrology and calendars. Since ancient times, all calendars in China have involved farming.

Therefore, those who engage in calendars must be proficient in four seasons of solar terms and climate and hydrology. This is why the ancient Qin Tianjian had no sense of existence, but it was extremely important. Basically, you can see this group of people on all major events, because in essence In other words, this is a pure and precious official position.

This is also the reason why the Ganshi family are very dragged. They are equivalent to monopolizing this profession. After all, this position was in ancient times and was very important to people's livelihood and agriculture.

Obviously, the Ganshi family has indeed been negligent on climate change in recent years. Chen Xi's talent is well known to them, so the Ganshi family has long since transferred most of the number to mathematics and astronomy.

In addition to the shameless families, when they left the Central Plains, in order to save trouble, they all married in the Gan family or the Shi family a wife who was the main line of a sister who understood climatology and agricultural calendars. Think about it When the Yong family left, they knew to marry a young lady from the Gan family who knew climatology. Are other families stupid?

Other families are of course not stupid. Compared to raising one by yourself, it is simpler. Marry a girl who understands this directly from the Gan family or Shi family, so that after the child is born, the mother will teach the child and the operation will be over. .

As for things like this accuracy is not perfect, what is perfect? For all major families, it works well. Self-taught is basically a dream, and it is better to marry a girl.

After going back and forth, the young ladies from the Gan family and Shi family were all married, and even the women of the aunt generation who had married out once married out again.

Is remarriage a problem these years? Besides, what major families want are talents who can work, not the beauty of their girls. It doesn't matter whether they are ugly or not. They can observe the local climate change, hydrological and astronomical phenomena, so that they can farm.

So the girls of the Gan family and Shi family who stayed in the Qintian Supervisor to do miscellaneous marriages have been married one after another, what? What did you say to the male compatriots of the Gan family? They are either in the observatory or doing calculations, observing the celestial phenomena, and recording rainfall, which are simple things that their sisters and sisters can do too...

Because of this idea, when the Gan and Shi families returned to Chang'an, they realized that all the little girls they had arranged in Chang'an were gone. They were either married by this family or taken away by that family, and the entire Qintian Supervisor It actually relies on a group of children and old guys of the age of a total angle to operate. What is even more frightening is that it can still generally operate.

Later, the two families met and asked what happened, but they all said that an old friend came to him and said that he heard that you have a daughter and I have a son who is of the right age. The elders of the Ganshi family are naturally indispensable for what it looks like.

Anyway, they are going to marry, and the other party is also a good person, and the age is right, so it's time.

As a result, it just happened that Chen Xi's talent for township was unable to withstand the Little Ice Age, and the Ganshi family directly missed it. Now they are desperately investigating information to determine the scope and intensity of the disaster.

After all, the two of them can be regarded as being ordered by the ancestors, and they are properly belonging, entrusted by others, and loyal to others. What's more to say that they are shouldering such a responsibility.

"Notify Weiyang Palace and Zhengyuan first, the Taiwei's side, use expedited secret message to pass." The Shi family's old man directly said, "From today, all rotations will be cancelled. Everyone will be on standby at any time, and the disaster will be calculated as soon as possible. Be prepared for the exact area and snow disaster changes. We may need to visit on the spot, and we may die."

The cruel thing about the Han Dynasty was that there really was a large-scale catastrophic climate. When disaster relief, Tai Shiling went to the front line. If you don’t go to the front line, how do you record the disaster and how to determine the climate change on the spot? You do this job, don’t think about it. You can let go if something happens.

What’s more cruel is that if there really is a very big disaster, the emperor will go to the scene in person. Simply put, it’s the eldest princess regent and the prime minister is a major event in the world. Once the disaster reaches a certain level, the eldest princess must go, and the eldest princess will go. Don't even think about running away.

There are many records in the Han Dynasty about the Yellow River bursting its dyke. During the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Jing was not born yet, so the Yellow River often burst its dyke, and the people of the Central Plains were almost used to it.

As a result, one year, heavy rain fell from the sky, and the Yellow River burst its banks, flooding 16 counties. Because the matter was too big, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty personally went to the bank of the Yellow River and mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers, almost bringing all the three courts and nine princes. Qi, settled this matter.

In the original text of the Han Shugou Zhizhi, Shang Nai made Ji Ren and Guo Chang dying tens of thousands of people to stop the river. So Shangyi used Wanlisha, but also came to the Juehe, Zhan Baima Yubi, so that all the ministers from the official to the general and the generals were all negatively paid to set the Juehe.

There are many uncomfortable rules in ancient times, but there is also an advantage that the predecessors did the right thing, then when the same situation occurs, the descendants must keep up.

Emperor Wu went up personally, and the three gongs and nine princes, including a lot of Tai Shiling, all carried sandbags on the embankment to block the Yellow River. What should I do if the same situation occurs later! Of course continue!

Your ancestor Xiaowu did this, so you should do the same, so no one can even run away if there is a major climate disaster.

Therefore, after seeing the changes in the sky, the old men of the Shi family knew that they would definitely not survive this year. Because of this kind of weather and this kind of blizzard, they needed to go to the field for inspections, even if they were sheltered by a frame, the boats and cars were tired in the snowstorm. Under the circumstances, it will definitely be over.

Those who work in this industry must be able to afford this responsibility. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, their Ganshi family has been eating this meal, and the country’s destruction of Ganshi will not fall. Since Tai Shiling has almost been monopolized by them, it is not because of them. Are there fixed responsibilities?

"Pack up, prepare to go to various places to investigate." Shi Tao suppressed the grief in his heart and ordered his father to take over. He knows very well that at this time, going deep into the field and going to the field, there will definitely be someone who will not come back. This is not something you can solve with a few guards, but at this age you can't stand the toss.

"Yes, patriarch!" The younger generation was a little eager to try this time when they hadn't experienced this kind of thing, while the older generation looked solemn when they had experienced it. They knew the danger of this thing, so they quickly regarded it as old. Bring a new way to prepare the team.

Before the heavy snow turned into a blizzard, most people in the Gan family and Shi family were already wearing thick fleece, carrying a large amount of dry food or walking or riding horses to their data collection points placed in the wild. These years, these Thousands of years of continuous hydrological and climate data are all recorded by fate, and only such large-scale data can make accurate judgments.

Before Chen Xi went home, he was summoned by Li You to return to the government affairs office.

"What happened?" Chen Xi asked.

"Two things, two letters, you can see by yourself." Li Youyan said concisely. Chen Xi nodded, and directly took it and opened it. The first letter was Liu Bei's letter.

The content is not complicated, but it is terrible. Liu Bei went to Bingzhou, and the heavy snow in the northern part of the state has exceeded the number of people. This has completely surpassed the record in the past ten years. Although the local government has always implemented grain, grass and material reserves and other orders, There are currently no problems.

According to Liu Bei’s description, the food problem is not big, but the charcoal fire is obviously insufficient, and the snow is too big, so there is no place to collect firewood. Under normal circumstances, when the snow is not heavy in winter, the people themselves will go out to collect firewood or go to the mine to pick up coal. , But now there is no way to do it.

According to Liu Bei’s estimation, most people’s firewood should not last for two decades, and Liu Bei doesn’t feel that the snow can turn within two years. If the snow is high for one person, even if the snow stops behind, it’s difficult to go out. In addition, the temperature is significantly colder this year. In the past year, the kang needs more firewood.

In short, the core problem is very clear. The people may not be able to hold it, especially the people in Yanbian area in the north. The ranch here is because of Chen Xi’s habit, with a large scale of various materials, even if it is buried by the snow, the problem is It's not big, but the people in the north can't.

"This is really bad." Chen Xi had a headache. Because of his spiritual talent, Chen Xi had not considered the issue of climate disasters in the past ten years, because his spiritual talent can level the operation of the climate, as long as he can withstand it. There is no need to worry about climate disasters.

But this time, Chen Xi was able to resist it, but because the territory was too large and the population was too small, the climate adjustment level was still within Chen Xi’s limit, but the output of mental energy could not withstand the harshness of the weather. In short, It is a large-scale catastrophic climate that has become a small one.

Although the end of the Han Dynasty was in the Little Ice Age, various large-scale disastrous climates occurred frequently, and even if it was contained, it was very terrible for the normal climate.

"Let the provincial governor transfer supplies, prepare to sweep the snow, open the treasury, and provide the people with briquettes. The method is the same as the way the Princess puts snacks." Chen Xi pressed the temple, the snow is so thick, and the army can only sweep away. It’s snowing, "open up all the main roads first, ensure that the roads are unobstructed, pass the letter to Xianhe, and let Xianhe be prepared to transfer materials."

Li Feng nodded, Chen Xi's thoughts were basically the same as his thoughts. Since the snow disaster can't help, then be realistic and hurry up to rescue the disaster. As for other things, postpone first.

"What's the other letter?" Chen Xi asked while opening the envelope, only to find out that it was not a letter, but the snow disaster coverage and intensity estimates reported by the Ganshi family, as well as the possibility of catastrophic cooling.
