Many people suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning after burning coal for heating, and no one knew how to treat it.

Once poisoned, very few are lucky enough to survive. Therefore, the rumor that burning coal for heating can cause poisoning gradually spread among the lower-class people.

Apart from the Ministry of Works and the Imperial Household Department's Manufacturing Office, which used coal to smelt iron and burn glass, only a few extremely poor people used coal for heating.

The construction of a brick kiln was not difficult. There was a person in charge of the Ministry of Works in the disaster relief team. Under his supervision, the brick kiln was built in just a few days.

At this time, the coal mobilized from Shanxi happened to arrive, so the brick kilns outside the county town of Xiaodi began to operate in full swing.

As for the shortage of timber and other building materials, Yinreng also sent people to inform Wei Zhang and asked him to send workers to the mountains to cut them down.

In Xinan County of Suo'etu, cave dwellings for firing tiles were built.

Through exchanges among the three places, the gap in building materials has been greatly reduced.

After the county town gradually recovered, the disaster victims who had been displaced to other places also heard the news and rushed back to their hometown.

Yinreng then shifted his gaze to the village outside the city.

Even more people outside the city froze to death. In a village, only two or three out of ten people were able to survive this snowstorm.

Most of the people who survived the collapse of their houses became refugees.

After all, in such extremely cold conditions, the living people in the village had no way to help each other build houses.

Yinreng took his soldiers and conscripted labor and began to go out to help the villages that were severely affected by the disaster.

Many refugees had never expected that their collapsed houses could be rebuilt, and they all cried for joy.
