In the eight years of Qianlong, the temperature was as high as 4 degrees, and there were many people who died of heat. How did Qianlong solve it?

Nowadays, life is getting better and better, and people's living standards have also improved. It is really hot in summer, so we can blow air conditioners and eat popsicles. But even under such good conditions, there are still people who die from the heat every year. With today's conditions, people are still dying of heat, not to mention in ancient times when technology was underdeveloped.

In ancient times, the conditions were not as good as now. There was no air conditioner, and people only had a fan when they were hot. The medical conditions are not as developed as they are now, and people can barely relieve heatstroke, but they can't get effective treatment. Many people say that although the conditions in ancient times were not good, it was not as hot as it is now, so the ancients could endure it.

but do you know that the Qing dynasty was prosperous for eight years? The hot summer in China? , although for now,? The hottest? The word is a bit exaggerated, but at that time, people simply had no conditions to resist such a hot summer. In fact, we don't know the specific temperature. The temperature of 4 degrees is obtained by climate experts according to research.

regardless of the specific temperature, we only know that it was really hot at that time, because history books record: It is hot in summer and May, and many pedestrians are killed, especially in the capital, and some traders who float in Beijing are also killed by heat. ?

that is to say, there are many people? Hot dead? You can imagine how horrible it is.

As we all know, Qianlong was a wise monarch. During his reign, the emperor Qianlong was naturally very concerned about such natural disasters among the people. However, at that time, the weather was too hot, and many people died because of it. People thought that the emperor lived in the palace and enjoyed the supreme treatment. When he was hot, someone fanned his fan and icehouse used it. Naturally, he could not understand the sufferings of the people, so civil unrest broke out at that time.

furthermore, as soon as the temperature is high, the farmland has dried up, and the people's harvest has decreased, so the price of food has increased. In order to have money to buy food, many people have to work in high temperature, which leads to heatstroke and even death, which leads to a vicious circle.

so how is Qianlong solved?

1. When Ganlong knew the situation, he immediately ordered: Bingchen, seek words with drought. ?

that is, ordering local officials to pay attention to the disaster situation in time. Officials from all over the country have reported that the situation is very serious, and the farmland has been harvested. In addition to suffering from natural disasters, the people have to endure hunger. After Ganlong knew it, he took the second step.

second, if there is no food for the people, then only the state will open warehouses to release food. According to the draft of Qing history,? Dial Cang Mi 4 thousand stone to relieve the drought in Zhili. ?

4 mangoku looks like a lot. I think it can solve the problem, but it actually reaches the hands of the people, and there is not much left.

Although Ganlong was concerned about the people, he immediately opened a warehouse to release grain, but the country was actually not rich, and most of them were pocketed by North Korean officials. However, the people didn't know anything about it, and even put all the responsibility on the emperor. What should I do at this time?

third, during the Qianlong period, there was actually a refrigerator, but ordinary people simply couldn't afford it. In addition to the refrigerator, there has been a icehouse in the palace since ancient times. So at that time, Qianlong also thought of a way, that is, to help the neighboring people with icehouse, and to build refrigerators to ease the heat.

historical records record the origin of icehouse in Kangxi period:? Xuechi, given Cai Shengyuan by Kangxi, was the secretary of the inner government, and the ice and snow construction was completed as scheduled, so that Tongzhi Chen Yuanlong was sent back to Xindi. ?

although this method can't solve all the problems of the people, the people will gradually settle down when they see the emperor's wishes.

Fourth, natural disasters in the minds of the ancients were the punishment of human beings from heaven, so psychological hints were very important to the ancients. Ganlong watched the people suffer all day, and his heart was very unhappy. One day, he thought of this and thought that this situation should be endowed with a poem, so he wrote a poem (of course, Ganlong wrote a poem every day): Ice trays and snow rafts, turning cold light. The exhibition turns bitter and annoying, and the heart is next to Guizhou and Lebanon. ?

The poem shows Gan Long's concern for the people, expressing that the people are suffering, and he himself is having a hard time. After the people knew this poem, they knew that the emperor was always worried about himself, so they gradually calmed down and there was no more civil unrest.

5. After the people's emotions are calmed down, what remains is the problem of continuous hot weather. As the high temperature continued, Ganlong had to beg for rain. Although he didn't know whether he could get it, there was no other way at that time.

actually, judging from the various practices of Qianlong, it doesn't play much role. What writing poems implies and paying attention to the disaster situation can't directly solve the problems of the people, while opening warehouses to release grain and building refrigerators can only solve the problems of a small number of people, and it will not cure the symptoms at all. As for asking for rain, it is a feudal superstition.

However, as an emperor, it's good that Qianlong can do this. After all, it's all he can do. Through the situation at that time, we can also see that the conditions in ancient times were indeed limited. In the event of natural disasters, the people could only go through the difficult times with the emperor Qi Xin, which is called "get through it".
