The next morning, the snow finally stopped, but the weather became colder.

It's cold before frost and cold after snow, it's always like this.

The situation today is particularly bad. Generally speaking, if it clears after the snow, the weather will often improve quickly, and it is not far from the melting of ice and snow. But if it is still cloudy after the snow, the sky is dark and low, and it seems that another snow will fall at any time, so it will probably be cloudy and rainy. At least, don’t expect to recover within three or five days, or even delay it for ten days and half a month.

"Oh! This weather is so bad!" When Pan Long went downstairs, he heard a passenger sighing: "If this ghost weather gets cloudy and there are two more snow, the wheat will be miserable this year!"

"Stop talking about wheat, no matter how you go, even rice will be a problem." Another traveler sighed, "The time to plant rice is getting faster!"

Pan Long shook his head and sighed.

Among natural disasters and man-made disasters, man-made disasters can often be avoided, but natural disasters are the most helpless. For example, in such a large cold wave, even the immortal immortals and Buddhas can do nothing.

Not to mention this world, even in the world where humans had established cities on Mars in their previous lives, once the Siberian Great Cold Tide broke out, except for those areas that had relied on comprehensive agricultural buildings to complete the supply of grain and vegetable, most places that still maintain field farming will inevitably reduce grain production.

Of course, the world is integrated with the global economy, and the big data network monitors the production and consumption situation in various places at any time. With the constantly updated mathematical models and efficient logistics network, no matter how natural disasters are, they cannot stop the daily life supply of people. I remember that one year of severe drought, Pan Long ate pork sent from the moon. The pork in the microgravity environment grows very quickly, but the meat is a little loose and cannot withstand the stewing...

The logistics capabilities of Jiuzhou World may not be lost to those of the previous life. Unfortunately, the strong men and "high technology" in this world are often used to fight for strength and rarely fall into civilian use.

Even in the imperial court's disaster relief, in addition to the legendary story of using 3,000 sets of storage equipment to transport Jiuzhou to save food and grass to save disaster areas during the Jiazi period, only the most important medicines can be used for these efficient logistics.

In fact, as long as the supply is sufficient, even Pan Long alone can rely on his transportation capacity to maintain the food needed for at least 100,000 people. Ordinary people, if they have one kilogram of rice a day, they will not starve to death. If there are three kilograms, it will be fine if they go to the fields to work. Among the 100,000 people, they will not be all young and strong. In total, transporting 200,000 kilograms of rice and grain a day should be enough.

If this level of transportation capacity is transported by car, I don’t know how troublesome it will be. But if it is used to transport it using imitation Shanhai Jing, it will be fine if it can be transported for one or two months at a time.

The transportation speed is no problem. A senior master of Jiuzhou once wrote a poem saying, "Walk 30,000 miles a day, but you can't see the night." It means that he can walk 30,000 miles a day, and start walking eastward at sunrise in the morning, and circle around the vast earth. The sun has not set yet.

Is this bragging? Pan Long is not sure. But at least he himself said that 30,000 miles a day is certainly not enough, but more than 10,000 miles a day is still possible - it is nothing more than twelve hours, about 850 miles per hour.

To be honest, this speed is not too much. If the length and time unit of this world can be converted into another world, then this is about 442 kilometers per hour - that is, about 122 meters per second.

Arrows shot from ordinary strong bows are almost unlikely to reach such speed. The crossbow arrows shot from strong crossbows can maintain such high speed in a very short period of time, but they will also slow down due to air resistance.

Simply put, it is...if it is maintained day and night, Pan Long can be as fast as the crossbow arrow that just shot out from the powerful crossbow. This speed will not put much pressure on him.

And if he really wants to fight for his life... he hasn't tried it yet, but Teacher Bi Lingkong once said that among the real masters, there are many people who can sound faster than the sound.

...But without food, what's the use of "transporter" no matter how fast it is?

How much reserve grain does the Daxia court have for disaster preparedness? If there is really a bad harvest or even a famine that swept the little half of Daxia, can the imperial court take out enough food to relieve the disaster?

Pan Long had no confidence at all.

As far as he has seen and heard in the world over the years, the granaries in the Daxia court actually have no inventory. More than one granaries are even empty, and even mice can starve to death.

If there are any natural disasters and man-made disasters, there will be very few places to open warehouses and release grain at that time.

Of course, most of the places he has gone to over the years are not very prosperous areas. Especially in Yunzhou, it was not originally a major grain-producing province, and even often needed to allocate grain from other places. It is not surprising that the granary is empty.

However, I don’t know what happened to the Jingyang two prefectures, known as the “Grain of the World”, which are known for their prosperity?

Pan Long secretly decided that on the way to Guangling City, he would take a look at the reserves of granaries in various Yangzhou.

After paying for food and accommodation, he walked out of the inn and was about to leave Hengyang City when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

This voice was the scholar who was talking a lot last night. It was different from the drunken voice yesterday. At this moment, his voice seemed serious and serious, with a bit of a gentleman.

Pan Long walked curiously following the sound and came to the outside of a small school. Inside the school, seven or eight children were reading under the guidance of the scholar, but they were not reading the primary school textbooks officially stipulated by Daxia, but an essay about being a human being.

The name of this article is "Diligence to cultivate oneself, frugality to cultivate virtue". The author is unknown, but I only know that it is an article from the Mohist school in the Warring States Period - the Mohist school rejected fame and fortune, and wrote books and theory, and never left the author.

At that time, Confucianism talked about virtue and Mohism, which were both famous schools in the world. Unfortunately, Daxia was established later, and both Confucianism and Mohism were among the swept-ups, so the articles of the two schools naturally could not enter the official textbooks of Daxia, and gradually they were lost a lot.

Pan Long did not expect that he would see a scholar who used Mohist articles as textbooks in this small Hengyang City, and he couldn't help but be curious.

He sneaked into the school, but saw many articles on the bookshelf next to him, including many articles such as "Great Love Without Boundaries", "Selecting the Wise", "Stand Up with Frugality"... such articles that expound the thoughts of the Mohist School.

This scholar is a rare disciple of the Mohist family!

Pan Long did not disturb them, left the school, found a hotel that had just opened nearby, ordered a breakfast, and asked the waiter about the situation of the school.

After asking, I found out that this scholar named Mr. Cunzhen is actually quite famous!

This person's surname is Liu, his name is Duan, and his courtesy name is Cunzheng. He was a talented man in Hengyang. He had received the imperial examination twice and was admitted to the Baigong Jizhi and the Operation and Arithmetic Department respectively. He was a double juren.

After the second pass, Liu Duan became an official and wrote a letter to point out the shortcomings of the court's policies, but was denounced as "not being too young" and "reckless and reckless". In anger, he resigned from his post and went home, opened a school, calling himself "Cunzhen", claiming to teach children to learn the truth, tell the truth, and be a sincere person.

He is knowledgeable and has extraordinary knowledge. He is also a well-known figure in Hengyang City.

"Oh! Mr. Cunzhen often said that Prince Luonan's reform was too hasty, and he was afraid that it would backfire. When we listened, we also felt that his words were very reasonable." The waiter finally sighed and whispered, "I don't know if there will be any disaster!"

Disaster?
