Live streaming life: The ancients begged not to stop

Chapter 277

Qi Cheng heard the whistling sound of the wind outside and looked out the window. It was already white outside and the roofs of some houses were covered with snowflakes.

After watching from the window for a few minutes, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and it looked like it was going to turn into heavy snow.

"The system will pick someone up."

"Gu Huimei of the Qing Dynasty."

Qi Cheng looked at the system introduction and found out that this was a woman from Suzhou and Hangzhou during the Jiaqing period.

"Host, the snow here is so heavy, so spectacular. I'd like to ask if it often snows this heavily in winter here, and whether it interferes with our daily lives."

Qi Cheng nodded and began to look for information on the tablet.

Daqin

Qin Shihuang looked carefully at the heavy snow shown on the sky. Although it sometimes snowed in Xianyang, it was never this heavy, and this place was not in the northern part of the Great Wall.

How could there be such heavy snow?

And looking at the host's expression, I feel that this is a very common thing.

"Although we're not in the Northeast, heavy snow is very common here. Today's snow isn't too heavy, and the forecast is only for one or two days."

"A truly heavy snowfall will last at least seven or eight days."

Qi Cheng took out the information he had found and continued, "The reason why it's like this here is entirely due to the terrain. This kind of snow also has a professional name, called cold stream snow."

"Regarding the cause of cold front snow," Qi Cheng pulled out his old globe. "Cold air from Siberia moves southward across the Bohai Sea, carrying warm, moist air from the sea and crashing into the mountains south of us. The moisture rises, and we end up with snow."

"But in another city just across the mountain, it didn't rain much. At most, there were strong winds and a drop in temperature."

Tang Dynasty

Li Tai seemed to understand. He pointed at the mountain in the video and asked, "Why not dig this mountain open? That way, the snow on both sides will be equal."

Li Shimin laughed. Did Li Tai think that it was a rockery in the palace? It could be dug up so easily. Even in later generations, digging a mountain was not a small project.

Snow also has its benefits. There is a farmer's proverb: Cover the wheat with three layers of quilts this winter, and you will sleep on steamed buns as a pillow next year.

Ming Dynasty

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still patrolling outside, pondered for a while, and immediately arranged for someone to give the fourth son Zhu Di an edict, asking him to pay attention to weather changes.

The Ming Dynasty today is not the later era. Such heavy snow will really cause a disaster.

"Let the prince gather some food and supplies for preparation."

……

"With such heavy snow, it's impossible not to disrupt our daily lives. But with advanced technology, the municipal government has snow-clearing teams, and we can use de-icing agents. However, de-icing agents are mainly industrial salt, which is detrimental to roads and water."

Qi Cheng found a few videos showing that the car could not move forward on the slope, and there were many other vehicles queued behind it.

Some buses could no longer climb, and the passengers had to get off in the snow and push the buses.

Some cars simply couldn't stop when going downhill, some ran diagonally towards the green belt, and some ran straight towards the backs of other vehicles.

Some even spun on the slopes, and even the drivers didn't know where they would go next.

There were also greenhouses and old trees collapsed by the heavy snow, and pedestrians falling down while walking...

The people outside the sky were sweating profusely. Fortunately, this happened in the future. If it rained here, they would probably have to flee and beg for food.

"Too much snow isn't a good thing."

"The snow-clearing machine in later generations is really amazing. It clears the snow in just a few strokes. One shovel of it is probably enough for us to do it for a whole morning."

"Where did they fall in all this snow?"

Dongjin

Several hermits in the mountains shivered at the sight of the heavy snow, but they still liked snow. There was wind and snow outside, and meat was stewing on the stove at home.

Come to think of it, it’s a beautiful thing in life.

Qing Dynasty

Several young masters and young ladies from the Jiangnan salt merchants' families agreed to go to Dengzhou in a few days. They had never seen such heavy snow and wanted to play in the snow.

It will be quite interesting too.

"After such a heavy snowfall, it's perfect for catching rabbits." A young master touched the eagle on his shoulder, "When the time comes, we'll have someone prepare the rabbits carefully. There should also be seafood like abalone there."

……

"But we are used to it here. As long as we are prepared, it is actually nothing big." Qi Cheng said that as long as anti-skid chains are installed, the problem of slipping can be basically solved.

For the rest, just be careful.

"The snow can actually bring in some income. Many friends in the south have never seen such heavy snow and are willing to come and experience the snow nest."

“Tourism revenue will increase a bit.”

Song Dynasty

"It seems the anchor isn't worried at all. With all this snow, won't the price of food go up? Merchants are a cunning bunch, you know."

Zhao Dezhao shook his head and said, "They have experienced countless heavy snowfalls, so they should have expected this kind of thing a long time ago. Besides, people in the north always store food, so there is no need to worry about this."

……

Qi Cheng checked the system and saw that the connection time had ended, but he still had some things to say. Although the heavy snow would not have any impact on him now.

But it still caused a lot of trouble in ancient times.

"I've seen records of local snowstorms in the county annals. Try to pay attention to the years mentioned, and if you can't, move quickly to avoid them."
