Ordinary people who had gotten rid of the slags could not fight, but riding a horse was not a problem.
Li Yuanfang stared into Bai Fu's eyes as he spoke through gritted teeth.
"I think you want to deduct your monthly salary again!"
"Your Highness is wise and mighty. Riding a horse is a trivial matter. I will go and prepare it now.”
After Bai Fu finished speaking, he left. From his back, he looked like a hooligan who was fleeing in a sorry state.
Looking at Bai Fu's retreating figure, Li Yuanfang shook his head with a smile.
Since it was time to go out, he naturally had to take out some warm pads.
After a while…
Li Yuanfang brought a team of guards and took a pile of supplies from the warehouse before leaving without hesitation.
Along the way, Li Yuanfang noticed that many people were rushing towards the city gates. There were countless carriages.
"Yuan Fang, where are you going?"
Seeing Li Xiaogong riding his horse over from afar, Li Yuanfang raised his hand to signal the team to slow down.
"Of course I'm going to the manor to take a look. The snow is so heavy that it's making people panic. I'm afraid that the snow disaster will come in a few days.”Li Yuanfang sighed, his handsome face filled with worry.
"Yeah, I reckon that this year will be the same as last year. There will be a snow disaster.”Li Xiaogong also sighed.
"Father, Ninth Uncle, it's good that we've done our best all these years.”
Li Chongyi, Li Xiaogong's son, interrupted and advised the two of them.
Li Xiaogong slapped the back of his son's head and immediately scolded him with a smile.
"Alright, I'm not that stubborn.”
"Don't look at me. It's true that I haven't reached adulthood yet, but I'm not that compassionate.”
Li Yuanfang sneered. When all kinds of natural and man-made disasters happened, the most unlucky ones were the ones in power who were questioned by everyone.
Thinking of this, Li Yuanfang silently lit a candle for his unlucky second brother!
Unlucky Second Brother's perseverance was definitely top-notch since he was not driven crazy by the doubts from all walks of life!
The road ahead was long, and there was a time to part.
After exiting the city gate together, the two sides immediately parted ways and waved goodbye to each other because of the different locations of their respective villages.
Li Yuanfang finally arrived at the manor. With a casual glance, he discovered many collapsed houses.
"They're here, they're here. The people who helped us are here.”
"Thank God, even though we changed owners, the new owners are still here to help us.”
"Haha, they're finally here. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.”
Li Yuanfang rode his horse slowly into the village, and the villagers bowed to him.
"Greetings, Your Highness Zhou Wang!"
Li Yuanfang dismounted from his horse and asked the head of the manor who came up to him in an amiable manner.
"Everyone, get up."
"Village Head, did anyone get injured from the collapsed houses in the village?”
Zhuang Tou quickly shook his head and answered seriously.
"No, we reacted very quickly and rescued them in time.”
"Mm, lead the way. This king wants to patrol the manor.”
"Ah, alright."
During this inspection, Li Yuanfang inspected both villages, not favoring one over the other.
The houses of the two tenants were almost all dilapidated.
The most obvious feature of a dilapidated house was that the roof was covered in thatch.
Even if it was not a snowstorm, if people forgot to clean up regularly, the house would collapse because it could not support the weight of the snow.
"There are too many dangerous buildings.”Li Yuanfang said with a cold face.
"Then, then what should we do?" Bai Fu asked in a daze.
When the village head heard that the matter was related to him, he could not help but shout anxiously.
"Your Highness, if the house can't withstand the snow, we…how can we survive?”
"Wuuu ~~~ There's no place to shelter us from the wind and snow. We'll all die this winter!”
"Bang, bang, bang, please show mercy, Your Highness. Give us a place to shelter from the wind and rain.”
"Thump…Thump…"
Countless tenants knelt down on the snow, ignoring the blizzard.
Li Yuanfang sighed and told the tenants in a calm and steady manner.
"This king has a way to overcome the snow disaster, but whether this plan succeeds or not is not up to me.”
"Then who can help us?" The tenant mumbled subconsciously.
"Your Highness, who do you think that person is? Let's go and beg him together."”
Li Yuanfang looked at the village head and then at the tenants.
"You guys are on your own."
"Us?"
"That's right, it's you."
"What should we do?"
"Unite and strictly follow this king's instructions. You can save yourselves with your own hands.”
“……”
The heads of the two villages looked at each other, their eyes burning with the flames of desperation.
"Let's drink. Tell me, how can we survive?”
"Good, good. As long as the people of the Great Tang are united, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome!”
Li Yuanfang laughed and turned to Bai Fu.
"Call the Shi brothers over immediately. I need them to build an igloos.”
The igloos were unique buildings of the Eskimo living in the Arctic.
The igloos were made of snow bricks of various sizes. A considerable amount of daily food could be stored in the igloos, and a fire could even be lit to keep warm.
"Yes!"
Although Bai Fu didn't know what an igloos were, he still went to find someone.
The three craftsmen of the Shi family arrived very quickly and understood the use of the igloos from Li Yuanfang's narration.
The first construction work was done by specialized craftsmen, and the tenants only made snow bricks according to the requirements.
After a long time…
A domed igloos was built.
At first, the tenants were suspicious of the igloos.
Everyone knew that snow would melt in the heat, so they suspected that the house made of ice and snow was uninhabitable.
Doubts and speculations were in front of practical items. As long as one experienced it personally, one would know whether it was useful or not.
"We can start a fire, we can really start a fire.”
"It's warmer inside than outside, and warmer than my drafty home.”
"Your Highness knows a lot more than us. I am a farmer. I am not smart, but I know how to listen to smart people.”
"Yes, we will listen to Prince Zhou. Whatever Prince Zhou says, we will do.”
"Pa, pa, pa…"
Li Yuanfang clapped his hands and calmly told everyone.
"This king will not disappoint you. Now, go and tear down those houses and pack up all the valuable things. Then, everyone will build an igloos to survive this winter.”
"Your Highness, the house cannot be torn down. If it is torn down, where will we live next year?”
"Let's not talk about the snow melting in the spring. We live in an igloos. Can't we still store things in the igloos?”
“……”
Some of the tenants shouted anxiously. The people who were used to being thrifty could not agree with Li Yuanfang's style of demolishing houses.
Li Yuanfang didn't accept the opinions of the tenants, but loudly berated everyone.
" Aren't you afraid that such a dilapidated house will collapse under the blizzard when you enter the house to take things…"
