The people who came were all escapees from the north. They originally wanted to go to Nanqing City, but got lost and ended up in Taohua Village.

Su Nanxing really wanted to know the news from the north, so instead of resting, he followed Grandpa Su to the village ancestral hall.

Those beggars were temporarily housed in a house next to the ancestral hall.

The house was originally built for holding meetings and discussing matters in the village.

Now is a good time for those beggars to stay there temporarily.

When Su Nanxing arrived, the village chief was organizing the beggars to wash their hands and faces and then eat.

Su Nanxing estimated that there were about forty or fifty people, including children and the elderly.

The leader of the team, a middle-aged man, was shaking the village chief's hand to express his gratitude.

Su Nanxing followed Grandpa Su forward. The village chief saw the two and introduced them, "This is Village Chief Fang. He fled from the north, even further north than our hometown."

Grandpa Su and Su Nanxing greeted Village Chief Fang and introduced themselves.

"Village Chief Fang, I wonder what the situation is like outside during your journey?" Grandpa Su asked.

Village Chief Fang held a cup of hot porridge in his hand and said, “It’s tragic. Our village is so populous and united that we came here.

But the number of people who died on the road was countless.

The most terrifying thing is those rebel kings, who arrest people anytime and anywhere, and we dare not even enter the city."

Su Nanxing asked, "Who are the rebel kings who have arrested people? Are there many?"

Village Chief Fang nodded, "There are a lot of them. Besides some princes, there are also many bandits who rule the mountains.

They catch anyone they see and force you to rebel with them.

As for which prince it is, I don’t know.

I just feel like there's war going on everywhere, and the situation gets better once we get closer to Nanqing City."

Village Chief Fang also said a lot later, but most of it was about his envy for Taohua Village.

There is also the difficulty of traveling in the snow, and many people froze to death on the road.

Su Nanxing listened on the side and heard that Village Chief Fang could bring people to Nanqing City.

I wonder where the imperial edict from the capital is?

However, the person who delivered the imperial edict would not risk death and travel in the heavy snow like Village Chief Fang and his companions.

Village chief Fang and his group arrived at the right time, as Taohua Village was in need of people to build the wall.

After discussion, Taohua Village hired Village Chief Fang and his group, and the compensation was daily meals and accommodation.

Taohua Village provides food and accommodation, which is very good for the other village chief and his people.

As for the problem of having no money, they didn't care at all.

After all, at this time, food and firewood are very rare.

With the addition of Village Chief Fang and others, the walls of Taohua Village are changing every day.

The weather was gradually clearing up, and the road between Taohua Village and Nanqing City was finally open!

Gu Jiutong came over with the bill and the person as soon as possible.

There are also letters and gifts from the young prince to Su Nanxing.

Su Nanxing first read Gu Jingmo's letter, which said that Prince Zhennan had begun preparing to return to the capital.

The task of defending the border was left to Gu Jingmo.

This is a test for Gu Jingmo, and also an opportunity for Gu Jingmo to officially step forward and take over the army!

Gu Jingmo himself is very confident because the emergence of cement has made the reputation of the young prince known to everyone in the border.

The city walls, reinforced with cement, were very strong and withstood several waves of enemy attacks during this winter.

After the weather cleared up, Gu Jingmo also prepared to build cement roads leading to various places along the border as soon as possible.

This requires a lot of money, after all, you have to recruit workers and provide them with food, clothing, and shelter.

So this letter also requires Su Nanxing to go to the gold mine and transport some gold to the border.

With the gold from the gold mine, and the full support of Baili Jin's gold, silver and weapons, this cement road will definitely be built very quickly!

After reading the letter, Su Nanxing also knew what gift Gu Jingmo gave her.

It is a very beautiful meteor hammer. It is very small overall, but it is not light in weight. I don’t know what special material is used.

Su Nanxing picked up the meteor hammer and tried it out, it worked very well!

And because of its smaller size, this meteor hammer is also very convenient to carry.

The Su Nanxing can be hung directly around the neck or tied around the waist.

In the future, there will also be personal weapons!

Su Nanxing liked it very much and tied it around her waist immediately. She asked Gu Jiu, "Does it fit?"

Gu Jiu nodded, "It's very suitable for the boss!"

Su Nanxing touched it carefully, and then began to ask about Nan Qingcheng's situation.

This heavy snowfall was the heaviest snowfall in the history of Nanqing City.

Not only did it last for a long time, but the snow was also the deepest, and at one point it collapsed many old houses in the city.

Especially in the slums, the houses are dilapidated.

But fortunately, the county magistrate had prepared countermeasures early on.

When the snow was unusually heavy, everyone was organized to evacuate in an orderly manner and live in a large courtyard prepared by the county.

Fortunately, there are pits, so the people who leave their homes will not be frozen even though they don’t have enough to eat.

I lie on the kang every day and don't need to eat any food.

So although there were still deaths in Nanqingcheng during this Spring Festival, the death toll was the lowest.

But the situation in the village below is not good.

The main reason was that many houses collapsed suddenly, crushing many people to death.

Some families also lacked charcoal and firewood, and many elderly people and children froze to death.

This snow is nothing to Taohua Village, but it is a very serious snow disaster to other villages.

The county magistrate has announced that he will speed up the production of cement so that everyone can build new houses with cement.

At the same time, every household will have a certain amount of free cement available.
