    The blizzard has stopped, and it¡¯s time for the spring flowers to bloom.

    Emperor Jinghe's illness was not a serious illness in the first place, and he recovered after about ten days of cultivation.

    In order to prevent future troubles, the imperial doctors and ministers deliberately let Emperor Jinghe rest for about ten more days before allowing him to slowly start making decisions on government affairs.

    The emperor has returned to power, so the prince naturally has to step aside temporarily.

    ¡°Otherwise, if he holds on to his authority, it will easily lead to conflicts.

    The prince showed no sign of reluctance, and felt a bit relieved after the handover.

    During this period of time, he was busy sorting out the blizzard disasters in six provinces, which made him so busy all day long that he didn't even have time to breathe.

    Only by truly participating can you know how hard it is for an emperor.

    This is just for the prince to participate in disaster relief matters, and there is no time to take care of other court matters.

    The prince somewhat understands why there have been so many tyrants and foolish kings throughout the ages.

    "To evade responsibilities and just want to enjoy the benefits brought by the throne, wouldn't this become a tyrant and a coward?"

    The snow removal team organized by Xiong Wenqing and Miao Yan started working frantically when part of the snow melted and the road surface turned into ice blocks, which could no longer be transported by sleds.

    It has not even been half a month, and more than 500 miles of official channels have been completely opened. Its work efficiency is so high that it is simply unheard of.

    Yes, you read that right, it¡¯s five hundred miles.

    It is more than three hundred miles from Xinyang to Xiaogan, and more than four hundred miles from Xinye to Jingmen.

    Five hundred miles means that all road sections have been dredged long ago, and the official roads are still being cleared vertically.

    Now the respective teams have been divided into five teams, a total of ten teams, each team has 4,000 people, cleaning the branch roads of the official road, making a circle and then returning to the Gyeonggi area.

    With the help of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Anhui and Jiangxi have also dredged their roads and made the transportation arteries smooth.

    The same is true for Sichuan. As the water flow of the Yangtze River gradually began to become richer, they first connected with the outside world through waterways.

    Then most of the passage from Sichuan to Xikang was cleared, but there were still three sections of road with a total length of more than 200 miles that were still closed by ice and snow, so we simply continued to use sleds for transportation.

    For this reason, the Governor of Southwest China, Ge Songdao, wrote a memorial specifically to request Liu Mingqi to be commended for his invention of sleigh transportation.

    One-third of Xikang Province is adjacent to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, so roads are blocked by ice and snow for at least four months a year.

    Because the terrain in this area is very complex, many roads are not official roads, which adds to the trouble of transportation.

    In the past, we would take advantage of the heavy snowfall before the mountains were closed to transport several months of supplies.

    But there are many disadvantages to this, and there is no way to respond in an emergency.

    Now, with a sleigh, it can be transported at any time, and after a snowstorm closes the mountains, transportation will be even more convenient - a large sleigh can easily transport 30,000 kilograms, how can this be compared to ordinary horse-drawn carriages?

    "This will bring immeasurable benefits to the people, checkpoints, and cities of Xikang. His Royal Highness Prince Yu has made immeasurable contributions!"

    These are the original words in Ge Songdao's memorial.

    "If it were another person, the court ministers would definitely accuse him of flattery, but the person who said this was the famous Dakang No. 1 Killer, so no one would doubt his intentions.

    But again, Emperor Jinghe did not say anything. He only sent a decree to praise Liu Mingqi, but did not give him any other material or title rewards.

    ¡­¡­

    Generally speaking, as the weather gets warmer, the transportation of various daily necessities to various disaster-stricken provinces has begun in an orderly manner.

    People¡¯s production and life have also begun to return to normal.

    The only thing that everyone still feels is in short supply is briquettes.

    Especially in Xikang Province, where there are long-term low temperatures and heavy snowfalls, after briquettes entered Sichuan through the opened channel, Ge Songdao issued five memorials in succession, imploring us to quickly escort one billion briquettes to Xikang, and in the days to come, it would be best to  Guaranteed supply of more than 100 million units per month.

    After all, the weather in Xikang is too cold and the wood is wet all year round, so it is difficult to burn.

    With such things as briquettes, they can completely solve the problem whether they are boiling water for cooking or heating.

    Especially the several city garrisons and several fortress garrisons here in Xikang, with??, I can¡¯t see it yet.

    But now it¡¯s spring, the spring breeze is blowing loudly, and the coal powder in the briquette workshop is also swept into the air. When it falls, a lot of it falls on the roofs and the ground of the capital.

    The roof and ground of Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion can be seen, even from the palace.

    Of course, no one has this awareness. They don¡¯t know what air pollution is, let alone the impact of coal powder on the respiratory tract.

    If this continues for a long time, most people in the capital will inevitably get sick, especially the elderly, which will be unbearable.

    Therefore, Liu Mingqi will definitely move this second briquette workshop.

    The place is naturally a development zone, and it is also about forty miles away from the capital.

    It would be best if there were mountains to block it so that the coal powder would not float towards the capital.

    As for whether people in the capital are willing to work, Liu Mingqi also has a way.

    Aren¡¯t they divided into morning and evening shifts?

    The best way to go is the official road in the capital, which is picked up by a horse-drawn carriage and can be traveled one way in half an hour.

    ¡°In this way, they can spend a little more time commuting to and from get off work, and they won¡¯t pay any other expenses. Of course they are very happy.

    Although the transportation of tens of thousands of people requires a high carriage fee, compared to the daily profit of 25,000 taels, it is really not worth mentioning.

    In order to protect the environment, it is normal to sacrifice some economic interests.
