The prevention of the snow disaster involved nothing more than food, warmth, and typhoid medicine.
The coal and charcoal industry in the Shanxi and the Shaanxi area was very prosperous. Almost all the coal and charcoal in the various areas of the Great Zhou Dynasty were supplied from the Shanshaan area. The local commoners lived in cellars, which were strong against the wind and kept them warm. They were also safer. In addition, the weather in the North was cold in winter. The commoners had lived on that land for generations and had good resistance to cold and rebellion. The matter of keeping warm could be delayed a little.
Food and typhoid medicine were the main focus.
