Chen Nian understood the emperor's concerns and suggested, "Your Majesty, regarding the cold weather, why don't the court organize all civil and military officials and families in the capital who have spare money to donate their old cotton-padded clothes and other items.
It can also be distributed to refugees to help them get through the winter."
It was Xia Tian who complained to him that she had prepared a lot of cotton-padded clothes, cotton shoes and other things, but she didn't know how to give them away.
If we give them directly to the refugees, we're afraid that others will snatch them away. After all, we can't give one to everyone.

The emperor's eyes lit up, "Well, this is a good idea."
This way, it does not require funding from the Ministry of Finance, nor does it cause dissatisfaction among civil and military officials and wealthy families. It can also temporarily relieve the pressure on the court. It is indeed a good idea.

"Then I will take my leave first!"
"Well, go ahead."
The emperor waved his hand in a good mood and let Shen Nian go first.
"Go and get the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Rites."

He was also afraid that if refugees gathered together in the freezing cold and were hungry and cold, trouble would easily arise, which would be troublesome!
Hopefully this will provide some temporary relief.
