Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye it was already mid-twelfth lunar month.

As the fifteenth approached, it was surprising that heavy snow fell over Chang'an City. Snowflakes as big as nails were falling in Chang'an City for three days. The snow on the ground was thicker than the knees. Inside and outside Chang'an, most of the households stayed closed and stayed at home and curled up on the couch, avoiding the snow and avoiding the cold, hoping that the cold winter would pass earlier.

Chang'an, and all the smaller cities, restaurants, inns, and other merchants nearby, have closed down because there are few customers, only rice, grain, butcher shops, clothing shops, coal shops and other daily necessities, and even earn a lot of extra money because of the heavy snow.

The front door is sealed with snow, and the New Year is approaching, and all households who brave the wind and snow come out to buy clothes and food will spend tens of days on their food rations, which is completely according to the standards for purchasing New Year's goods. Therefore, many grain stores are also a little short of supply when they are doing well in terms of their goods.

The road is snowy and the freight is difficult. The itinerary I had for one morning, but it was not possible to finish it after a day. This is not the case with some unexpected situations such as slippage and overturning that you will encounter on the road.

Such weather conditions are undoubtedly a very serious or even fatal blow to many chambers of commerce. Stores that are unattended are closed, and stores that are people are in short supply, so they can only open normally for one day in three days.

In comparison, among all chambers of commerce, only the Liu Chamber of Commerce has had a relatively better life. Half a month of strong publicity has just passed, and they have made a lot of money. They have also developed the habit of preparing for the full source of goods due to the lessons learned in the promotion. Almost all stores under the Liu family have reserved three to five days of goods. Therefore, during the three days of heavy snow, they did not have the worries of insufficient supply, but instead made a lot of money again with the snowfall.

Liu Yiu-Yuan was not very happy because he had made so much money. Now he is worried about the impact of the heavy snow.

A large amount of snow crushed many of the village's soil and thatched houses were damaged, and it also blocked Liu Bing's road from Gaochang to transport Baidiezi.

Although the first batch of 10 million kilograms had been delivered before the snow, temporarily alleviating the pressure of insufficient raw materials in cotton shops, Liu Bing was in Gaochang this time, and he had a second 10 million kilograms, the third one or even the fourth one. It is very likely that the second and third ones were already on the way back.

Now thick snow blocks the road, and it is inconvenient to travel. I don’t know how many counties and counties this heavy snow will affect. If half of the road leading to the northwest is covered with heavy snow, the caravan will probably not have any idea to return to Sanyuan before the New Year.

Originally, cotton is not a fresh fruit, and it would not be a big problem if it was left for a year or two. When it comes to this heavy snowy weather, it would be a month or a month, so there is no need to worry at all.

But now, seeing the wars of the two countries of the Tang Dynasty, Gaochang, if these caravans were blocked outside, they would be in danger, so Liu Yi would not be worried or worried.

"Young Master, why did it go down in this ghost weather?" As their young master wandered around the manor, looking at the high snowy floors piled up by the roadside, Liu Cheng sighed softly, "If there was no such snow, our hotel would not be closed. With the momentum of previous promotions, we would have to have tens of thousands of dollars of silver every day, tens of thousands of dollars..."

Liu Cheng looked regretful with his fingers, and 10,000 yuan. Although it was a bit pitiful than the 100,000 yuan on the first day of the promotion, it was much more than the usual sales. Just as he watched 10,000 yuan slip away from his eyes in vain, Liu Cheng was really reluctant to let it go.

"Man-made disasters can be found, natural disasters are expected. Now that things have come, how can I say more?" Liu Yi walked towards the land where the house collapsed outside the manor, and Liu Yi sighed softly: "But fortunately, there are still cotton shops, coal and grain shops, so I won't lose too much."

The promotional activities a while ago had already made the Liu family's profit of nearly 1.5 million yuan, and finally they had a lot of profits before the snow disaster. Otherwise, if the promotion was in heavy snow, then their Liu family of commerce would be completely in tears and would be unable to turn things around.

"Mingze has Chongzhou and others are really lucky," Liu Cheng was a little jealous and said with a sour voice: "No matter whether it is coal or cotton, the grain business is not affected much, and the profit is even better than the past. The restaurant and wine business that I am responsible for is nothing to do now."

"Okay," he looked at Liu Cheng with annoyance, and Liu Yi said, "If you have a legitimate reason to be lazy and rest at home, they may envy you, so don't say anything sarcastic about you here."

"Hmm?" Liu Cheng looked at the young master with aggrieved look, his eyes full of resentment: Do you think we are all like you, used to being hand-off managers, and do nothing every day?

"Do you know whose house has been crushed by snow?" Looking at the roofs of the wooden houses in the manor, although they were piled with thick layer of snow, the house was still firm and there was no collapse or leakage. Liu Yiu couldn't help but ask Liu Cheng: "Are the person safe and sound? Have you been injured?"

"Go back to the young master," Liu Cheng couldn't help but reply seriously: "There were more than a dozen households, all of whom had newly recruited tenants. Because they had not contributed enough to the new houses in the village, they lived in mud walls and straw shed roofs. Ordinary snow could handle it. For example, this time, the heavy snow was a bit terrible, and most of them were crushed down."

"Fortunately, the collapse of the house often occurs during the day, and people inside can notice it and escape in time." Beware of the road under his feet, Liu Cheng continued: "There are only more than a dozen households who are sleeping too heavily and are injured by the liang on the roof. It is injured but not serious. The mansion has invited a doctor for them to take a look, and the households who collapsed have temporarily arranged to live in the manor with the spare rooms. You don't have to worry."

"Hmm?" Liu Yiuan frowned slightly and asked softly with some dissatisfaction: "Since there are still houses in the manor, why didn't you move them in in advance before the snow disaster?"

Liu Yiu was very dissatisfied. The tenant in his mansion suffered a snow disaster and was injured by a mud house outside when he had a good house. It was so outrageous!

"This, Cheng knew a little," Liu Cheng looked puzzled and said softly: "But Mr. Liu was responsible for this matter before, but Butler Wuchen has been busy in Chang'an these days, and rarely recovered. Later, he was trapped in Chang'an due to snow and has not returned yet. The tenant farmers in the village were embarrassed to trouble the master and the young master because they did not make enough contributions, so they dragged them until the house collapsed."

"I'm blaming me," Liu Yiu couldn't help but feel a little guilty when he heard the reason: "If I could think of it in advance or be alert the next day when it snowed, they wouldn't have suffered this."

"Actually, I can't blame the young master," Liu Cheng opened his voice to excuse their young master, saying: "In previous years, the tenants in the mansion came here, with mud and grass roofs, sheltering from wind and rain, and never saw any accidents. If you want to blame, you will blame this heavy snow this year. I haven't encountered it once in a few decades. Suddenly it came like this, I don't know how many households have been crushed."

While walking, he said, seeing that the manor was about to leave, Liu Cheng stopped and asked Liu Yi: "The collapsed house is outside the manor, and the injured tenant has been placed in the empty courtyard on the right side of the manor. I wonder if the young master will go first to see the injured or the dirt house outside?"

"What's the good thing about a house that has collapsed in nephew?" He seemed to hear some noise and knew that the house should be near, Liu turned right and walked towards the place where the sound came out.

Seeing that their young master did not go in the wrong direction, Liu Cheng also quickly followed.

"Heavy snow indicates a good harvest," Li Dechen's voice was heard from a distance near the courtyard that was just noisy: "Although this snow came a little suddenly and caused some considerable disasters, it also ensured a good harvest of crops next year, so this can be considered a good thing."

"You can think about it," Li Dechen continued to do his ideological work: "The crops will be better next year and the boss will have more harvests, so our tenants will naturally have a lot of life. Isn't it just that I have suffered a little disaster? Isn't it necessary to have such a sad face if I can't get off this day."

"Boss Li said it right," Liu Yiuan stepped into the door, took Li Dechen's words and said loudly: "You can't just think about its disadvantages in everything, and you can't be depressed and timid because of a natural disaster once or twice."

"The boss!" "The boss is here!"

Seeing Liu Yi and the other two coming in, several men in the yard couldn't help but call out loudly, which attracted the villagers who were resting in the house to come out one after another, looking at their boss excitedly.

"Although your house is gone, your property is buried in the soil, and it seems to have nothing and no support." He reached out and said, Liu Yi's words did not stop: "But don't forget that you are now tenants of the Liu Mansion, and we, the Liu family, are behind you. As long as the Liu family does not fall, you will never have support!"

"You are most new to me a month ago, and you may not know much about me, but Mr. Li is an old man in our mansion. He has been with the mansion since the beginning of the construction of this manor, and it has been three years since the beginning of the construction of this manor."

"What is Liu's character and how he treats the tenants in the mansion? I think you have heard about it during this period. You can also verify it from Mr. Li and any villagers in the village." Turning his head and looking around at everyone, Liu Yi said, "Mr. Liu is still what he said back then. No matter when, as long as your heart is still here, as long as you are down-to-earth and willing to work hard, and don't cheat on you during the busy farming period, Mr. Liu will never treat you badly!"

"Aren't it just a few thatched huts collapsed and some houses buried?" Liu Yi waved his hand and said loudly with great encouragement: "Our Liu Manor has houses! There are many living utensils!"

"Because of the regulations, you have not achieved enough achievements to the Liu family and have not met the conditions for moving into the manor. Therefore, according to the previous rules, you will temporarily live in the old house where the tenants lived." The voice was a little slow, and Liu Yiuan said firmly: "But now, since there is a snow disaster and the urgent matters are in power, there is no need to follow the rules."

As he said that, Liu Yiu looked at Li Dechen in front of him and said warmly: "Brother Li, you know the situation in the village best. I'll help you go outside the village to tell the villagers who have not moved in. Before the end of the year, let them all live in the village temporarily, and then go to the cotton shop to collect some quilts and clothes to distribute them. Let's get through this end of the year first."

"Yes, yes, yes, the villain thanked the boss for these villagers!" Although the later villagers were not old acquaintances of their original village, even though they knew that this was their boss's move to restrain the people, it was just like when the boss conquered their old villagers.

But Li Dechen, who was also a tenant farmer who knew that the tenant farmer brothers were suffering, was still moved by their boss' generous words and kindness and style, and kept bent over and thanking their boss.

"Thank you, boss!" "Thank you, boss!"

The villagers in the courtyard kept thanking each other. Several men even knelt on the ground excitedly, crying in silence, but just kowtowed their heads on the snow again and again.

I have always heard Old Man Li say that the boss is kind and righteous, and how he takes them with his old tenants, so he will never ignore the disaster-stricken households. Although these people are on the surface, they are still a little nervous. Even if the doctors of the previous generation come over, they cannot eliminate the uneasiness in their hearts.

But now, seeing their boss's kindness with their own eyes and listening to their boss' instructions with their own ears, they were completely at ease.

"Didn't you say that you have hired a doctor? What is the situation of the injured?" He comforted the villagers. Seeing that everyone was calm and had obviously developed a strong sense of belonging to the Liu Mansion, Liu Yiu said his purpose.

"Young Master is worried." Seeing that all the villagers around looked at their boss with gratitude, but no one dared to come forward to reply, Li Dechen had to stand up again and report to their boss respectfully: "The doctor who came here has seen it, and said that it is not serious. It is just a little skin injury, and it will be cured in just three or five days."

"That's better." Liu Yi nodded gently, his face slowed down slightly. Seeing that everyone was in a resilient manner, he knew that it was probably due to his arrival, so he shook his head and chuckled and thought of leaving.

"If nothing happens, then Mr. Li will go here," he looked at Li Dechen, and Liu ordered in a low voice: "With the manager of Liu Cheng, no matter whether the house collapses or not, as long as the tenant farmers in our Liu Mansion will all be received from the manor to settle down. After all, it is the middle of winter now, and no one can say that there will be another snowfall one day. I don't want to hear the news that there are villagers in my Liu Mansion being injured by snow again."

"Yes, the boss (young master)!" Li Dechen and Liu Cheng bent over at the same time, bowed to their boss again, then stepped out and walked out of the village.
