Yu Ziqing obviously didn't know that after his desperate survival, there were some positive impacts he brought about.
The Wilderness grew colder, but the cold air wouldn't sensibly remain only there. Dazhen was inherently cold, so it was no need to mention, while Dali and Daqian usually had temperate climates, with rivers not freezing even in the coldest winter. However, this year, the areas bordering the Wilderness naturally became much colder than usual.
The resulting consequences were inevitable in every aspect. Winter crops would surely have reduced yields or might be entirely frozen to death. Coupled with issues like heating, those poor households with little stored grain beyond seed might find it very hard to survive this winter. Even if they managed to survive the winter, how to live next year remained a problem.
