第918章 2横1竖就是干，2点1力就是办！
As it turned out, the number of living Yama kings in the Ming Dynasty far exceeded Yang Shaofeng's imagination.
Faced with Hu Weiyong's suggestion to use laborers to forcibly fill a road, Li Shanchang only thought for a moment before saying, "Take a count and see how many laborers are available in Liaoyang, and send them all out to clear snow and open roads."
"Also, don't waste those sticks and short guys; use them as laborers for now."
"Even if there are any casualties, we should wait until this snow disaster is over before making any decisions."
"No matter what, we must grasp the situation in all the prefectures and counties of Liaodong as soon as possible."
Hu Weiyong immediately bowed and agreed. Li Shanchang then turned his gaze to Yang Shaofeng: "Your Highness, I will have someone prepare enough laborers for you."
"No matter how hard the permafrost in Liaodong is, and no matter how many laborers are injured or killed."
"Just one thing: I need a sufficient quantity of honeycomb briquettes and coal slurry. As long as transportation resumes, no civilians should freeze to death."
Seeing the resolute and ruthless look on Li Shanchang's face, Yang Shaofeng replied solemnly, "Don't worry, Prime Minister Li."
Li Shanchang nodded, then turned his gaze to Zhu Biao, Chang Yuchun, and the others: "Duke of E, you will personally lead your men to accompany His Highness to the villages and communities of Liaoyang to help the people clear snow and roads."
"Furthermore, once transportation is restored, immediately issue an order to all the garrisons in Liaodong, instructing them to send people to help the nearby people clear the snow."
"Have the centurions and captains leading the teams explain to the people that His Highness the Crown Prince, the Prince Consort, you, the Duke of E, the Duke of Cao, the Earl of Krupp, and even Hu Weiyong, the Provincial Governor of Liaodong, are all on the front lines of the Liaodong snow disaster. The Emperor is also paying attention to the Liaodong snow disaster. The court will never abandon the people of Liaodong."
"We must reassure people."
"After compiling statistics on the casualties of the soldiers in each garrison, I will report to my superiors and ensure that the wounded and injured soldiers receive substantial compensation after the disaster."
Chang Yuchun bowed and accepted, but Li Shanchang added menacingly, "Furthermore, in extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken."
"Anyone who dares to rob others of their money and grain during the heavy snow in Liaodong shall be killed on the spot!"
"Anyone who dares to inflate prices or hoard goods will be executed on the spot!"
"Any petty official who dares to take advantage of the situation to extort money from the people shall be killed on the spot!"
At this point, Li Shanchang glanced at Hu Weiyong again, "Make it clear to your men that anyone who dares to cause chaos in Liaodong at this time will have their entire family live in constant fear!"
"..."
Yang Shaofeng finally witnessed the power and prestige of the founding prime minister.
Whether it was the unruly Hu Weiyong, the ruthless Chang Yuchun, the Lan Yu who dared to bombard his own city, or the Li Mingchen who slaughtered countless people at Buyur Lake, they all became as docile as quails at this moment.
Even Zhu Biao, the famous black sesame glutinous rice ball maker, could only obediently bow and accept Li Shanchang's orders.
Old Li is awesome!
Yang Shaofeng silently cheered for Old Li, while Li Shanchang turned his gaze outside the house.
If they can weather this heavy snow, the people of Liaodong will have even greater faith in the Ming Dynasty.
If we can't make it through...
Thinking of this, Li Shanchang looked at Yang Shaofeng again: "Prince Consort, whether the coal mines in Guide can produce enough honeycomb briquettes and coal slurry depends entirely on you."
Yang Shaofeng responded with a dark expression, and Li Shanchang then tentatively asked, "Could you think of a way to find out the snowfall situation in various prefectures and counties of Liaodong as soon as possible?"
What the hell?
Yang Shaofeng looked at Li Shanchang with a bewildered expression, "The prefectures and counties of Liaodong?"
No.
You think the Ming Dynasty had telephones and telegraphs? You just blurted out that you wanted to find out about the snowfall situation in various prefectures of Liaodong.
"I can figure out how to handle Liaoyang County alone."
Yang Shaofeng said with a helpless expression, "But since it involves the entire Liaodong region, I have no way to deal with it."
Li Shanchang's eyes lit up, and he said repeatedly, "It would be great if we could find out the extent of the snow disaster in Liaoyang County!"
……
The heavy snow continued to fall, but the entire city of Liaoyang was filled with the sounds of people and horses.
Wearing cotton-padded coats, the yamen runners, holding gongs, shouted along the street: "The county magistrate has ordered that every household must promptly clear the snow from their roofs, in front of their houses, and on the roads, without fail!"
"Tomorrow at noon, each household should send someone to the Changping Granary to collect grain and firewood!"
"Heavy snow has blocked the roads. No one is allowed to leave the city or stop playing games!"
"Each household should send one man to clear all the snow from the city!"
"The snow won't stop, and neither will the people!"
"..."
As the saying goes, "Three lifetimes of misfortune, becoming a county magistrate; three lifetimes of evil, becoming a neighboring provincial capital."
Liaoyang County was not only attached to Liaoyang Prefecture, but also happened to be adjacent to Liaodong Provincial Administration Commission.
Even more critically, the current Crown Prince Zhu Biao, the current Imperial Son-in-Law and Duke of Ying Yang Shaofeng, the current Grand Secretary and Duke of Han Li Shanchang, Duke of E Chang Yuchun, Duke of Cao Li Wenzhong, Earl of Kelu Li Mingchen, Liaodong Provincial Administration Commissioner Hu Weiyong, plus the Left Vice Ministers of various ministries, were all crammed into the Liaodong Provincial Administration Commissioner's office.
What's even more alarming is that the Crown Prince Zhu Biao doesn't stay obediently in the Provincial Administration Commissioner's office. Instead, he visits the homes of ordinary people every day with his personal guards and under the protection of the Duke of E.
They helped the people clear the snow.
They helped the people repair their courtyard walls.
They inspected the grain and firewood distributed to the people by the county government.
They chatted with the locals about everyday life.
Even His Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty has achieved this level of accomplishment, so what can I, the magistrate of Liaoyang, do?
Two horizontal lines and one vertical line represent "doing"; two dots and one force represent "getting things done"!
I personally led the people, along with the county officials, to clear the snow outside the city.
I personally went to each village to inspect the snow accumulation on the rooftops of the people.
I personally supervised the county yamen runners as they distributed grain and firewood to the people.
I'll break myself into countless pieces to use!
I also have to compile reports every day!
I want to die, but I dare not die!
Because I am dead, my whole family will likely be sent to Liaodong by Prime Minister Li to do hard labor.
Thinking of his wife, children, and elderly parents at home, Guo Feng, the magistrate of Liaoyang, was once again filled with enthusiasm.
"Tell the heads of each commune that after the roads between each village and the county town are cleared, send people to clear the roads leading to Shenyangwei."
"Also, have the embroiderers and fabrics requested by the Provincial Governor's Office been delivered yet?"
"We absolutely cannot delay."
The officials, clerks, and yamen runners in Liaoyang County were also full of enthusiasm.
"Rest assured, Your Excellency, the roads leading from each village to our county seat will be cleared in about half a month. Then we can begin clearing the roads leading to Shenyangwei."
"The embroiderers and fabrics that the provincial governor's yamen runners requested were all delivered."
"..."
Guo Feng had no doubt about the enthusiasm of these assistant officials and clerks.
After all, the executioner's blade is dangling right above their heads.
Who would dare to provoke Prime Minister Li at this time?
