Chapter 1698
Because his house had collapsed under the weight of the snow.
Second Uncle Wang's house had been here for quite a while. When he was young, his family had started living in this house.
He was already 25 years old, and this house had been here for quite some time.
Furthermore, Second Uncle Wang rarely stayed at home, and was either in the mountains or outside of the mountain. As a result, this time, the heavy snowfall caused the houses of many families, including the Second Uncle Wang, to collapse.
The village chief urged the villagers to clear the snow from the rooftops in time to avoid trouble.
Even so, many of the houses were destroyed.
The house next to Second Uncle Wang's, Uncle Shen He's house, had also not been spared. It had completely collapsed and was only left with a few rotten walls.
Fortunately, no one lived there, so naturally no one cleaned up.
Like this, if Second Uncle Wang didn't want to go to Shen He's house, he would have to.
All the villagers also went to their relatives' houses to stay, waiting for the begi
ing of spring to rebuild their houses.
Building a house cost a lot, so it was a family of joy and a family of sorrow.
Shen He led the people to pack up Second Uncle Wang's belongings and brought them to his house. She also gave Second Uncle Wang a very big room, the kang in the room was burning very vigorously, and once they entered it, it was very hot and comfortable.
Second Uncle Wang was a little embarrassed: "Look, I said that I would take care of you, and now you are taking care of me."
Shen He laughed and said, "Why are you being so courteous to me, Second Uncle? We were originally a family. "
The Second Uncle Wang was not shy either. "Since Second Uncle has come to live, all the important work in the family will be handed over to Second Uncle."
Shen He laughed and said: "There will naturally be people who will do these things, but right now, there is something that requires Second Uncle to do."
"What is it?" Second Uncle Wang asked.
"It's snowing heavily this time, I'm afraid this mountain is going to be sealed." Shen He looked at the sky and saw that it was still snowing. It really made him uneasy, "Even humans can't leave home, what do you think the animals in the mountains are going to eat?"
Second Uncle Wang's expression suddenly changed.
He understood what Shen He meant.
"Our home is at the foot of the mountain. As for the animals in the mountain, the moment they leave the mountain, the first thing they will do is face us at home." Shen He continued, "I am not good at this sort of thing. Therefore, she had to entrust this matter to Second Uncle! I plan to seek help from the Wen Family in the town. "
Shen He's expression turned serious as she said, "There's been a lot more snow this year than in the past. I'm afraid there's going to be a disaster. Second Uncle, I'll have to trouble you to go to the town and county today to buy more food. "I keep having the feeling that something bad is going to happen."
Second Uncle Wang's expression was also serious as he said: "Yes, you're right. In the past, when it snowed heavily and sealed off the mountain, it was easy to encounter disaster. Leave this matter to me, I'll handle it. "
Shen He then went to arrange some matters.
Everyone in the house started to sharpen their branches for traps. Two bodyguards were sent out by Shen He, one to look for Wen Zhi Zhou in the town, and the other to look for Wen Jian Qing in the capital city.
The two maidservants were in charge of digging and burying traps.
Shen He brought Da Ya, Erya and San Ya to walk around the house, looking for a place to set up a trap.
Shen He's movements, were all seen by the villagers, and they all started to dig traps in front of their own doorsteps.
After so many years, after encountering so many calamities, the villagers would always save themselves. There was no need for Shen He to remind them about this.
When it snowed, every household had enough food and firewood to cope with the extreme weather.
Now that they saw Shen He doing this, they all thought of those ferocious beasts in the mountain, so they all followed to dig traps.
By evening, the Second Uncle Wang had returned. The ox-cart almost couldn't enter the house. The oxcart was filled with daily necessities.
Second Uncle Wang said as soon as he entered, "The price of food has risen again! I'm afraid the snow will last until the end of the year. So I bought all the New Year's goods in advance. "
Shen He suddenly felt a little bad. "I got Second Uncle to spend money again."
"We're all family members, why are you sharing with me?" Second Uncle Wang carried the New Year's goods into the house and placed them neatly on the wall.
Shen He saw that Second Uncle Wang had bought a lot of dry goods.
The maidservants at home helped them pack up. Soon, the ox-cart was cleared and the oxen were sent to the big shed to be fed with fodder and rest.
At night, the guards Shen He sent out also had some news.
Wen Zhi Zhou got people to tell Shen He that the imperial government had also noticed the snow disaster this year and had made preparations in advance. It was said that this was what His Royal Highness mentioned to the Emperor from the morning.
Shen He was a little shocked by the His Royal Highness. He was only twelve years old, yet he was actually as smart as a twenty-two year old.
Although the children of the royal family matured early, there weren't that many children with foresight!
Especially this kind of people, they only knew a little about it.
How would Shen He know? This was because His Royal Highness was worried that his wife would suffer due to a disaster in the public, hence she was constantly paying attention to the national report and had responded in advance.
The His Royal Highness had already searched the entire imperial city, but could not find even the slightest trace of his wife.
Great Yue Dynasty was so big, it was hard to find.
Hence, he decided to solve the problem from the roots to make Shen He more comfortable.
So, just like this, the His Royal Highness was originally just taking care of his wife, but in the end, the entire imperial court saw how wise and wise the His Royal Highness was.
The crown prince's consort's family had added fuel to the fire, praising His Royal Highness's intelligence and wisdom in front of the emperor.
The emperor had always liked this grandson of his. Upon hearing the entire imperial court praise his grandson, he became even more happy.
So the policy was quickly implemented.
And what Wen Jian Qing brought Shen He wasn't just news. He also brought a lot of good medicines and a whole twenty people to protect Shen He.
In fact, even if Shen He did not send people over, Wen Jian Qing would have sent people over.
It was just a coincidence.
Now that he had the resources and news of the imperial government, Shen He's worries were finally relieved.
Inexplicably, Shen He felt that this His Royal Highness at the root of the Imperial City had an extraordinary wisdom.
Then, could the His Royal Highness be Qiao Er, Shen Zhou, or one of them?
One was the His Royal Highness of the Imperial Palace, the other was a commoner.
Shen He sighed in her heart, she still had to work hard!
At this very moment, His Royal Highness was listening to his subordinate's report in the Eastern Palace. A few Imperial Tutors stood at the side, watching the His Royal Highness handle the matters of government with ease and satisfaction.
Compared to the crown prince, His Royal Highness was the perfect model for the crown prince.
The entire Eastern Palace was managed well by the His Royal Highness and was not the least bit messy.
