After Court adjourned for the day, many officials donated food or silver, and without the Court having to spend "One Wen" money, there was enough to settle those affected by the disaster within Jing City.
As for areas outside Jing City, to what extent the local officials managed the disaster relief for the affected people was unknown.
Mo Qingze added two pieces of charcoal to the brazier and said with concern, "This snow disaster is far more severe than the one two years ago. If the affected people can't be properly settled, I'm afraid it may lead to unrest. When we fled here during that disaster, weren't there officials who embezzled the food and silver relief from the Court? They drove those severely affected people to desperation, forcing them to rebel. Otherwise, who would engage in an act like family extermination?"
