Chapter 1696 The Rainstorm Disaster in Fu County ([-])

The Fuxian Yamen received the letter and sent someone to look at it. The reply was that it would be fine when the water receded.

Then, the yamen seemed to have forgotten about this place, and never sent anyone over, let alone any disaster relief actions.

In the end, it was Qi Zhuang who took up the burden of disaster relief, treating the sick and the injured, assessing the time when the stagnant water will recede, and posting a notice that free water for the relief victims will be fetched for seven days, and clean water must be used for eating, drinking and cleaning wounds. It is free to use water for seven days. As long as you can carry water, you can go back and forth several times a day.

With this method, the ordinary people in the town and village were forced to send one or two laborers to fetch water one trip at a time.

The same is true for the wealthy households. The wheels of their daily carts for fetching water will also get stuck in the underwater ditch. Without exception, everyone in the family has to use a pole to carry water if they want to drink.

In this way, people are injured every day, and people get sick every day. On the one hand, the harvest in the field has to be reduced due to heavy rain and waterlogging, and on the other hand, people in the family are constantly getting sick and injured and need to spend money on medicine.

Obviously, the second village in this town was really affected by the disaster and needed relief. Even if the civilians are not concerned, they should take care of the farmland, but the yamen just ignore it, as if there is no such place.

Fortunately, the medicine produced by Qizhuang is very effective, and it will take effect immediately after taking it, and you can owe the medicine fee on credit.

Otherwise, according to the past practice, it is not known how many people would die just because of the high fever death caused by the wound infection.

There were also deaths this year, but much less than in previous years. Many families who were grateful for their escape could not help but knelt and kowtowed in the direction of Balfour Harbour.

The stagnant water in the place does not recede, and there are even more troublesome things. All kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants have emerged. In broad daylight, snakes and mice can be seen swimming in the stagnant water. Fortunately, no harm happened. .

If the stagnant water does not recede, the first thing is to prevent epidemic diseases. Qizhuang will give out a kind of anti-plagus medicine cake the size of a copper coin for free to the people who come to fetch water. Fumigate the inside to get rid of all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants hiding in the corners of the house.

The medicine cakes are also effective after ordering, and they are free. The surrounding people will come to fetch water every day no matter how difficult they are. As long as they have the strength to carry water, no matter men, women, or children, they will come and give medicines per head. I can get several yuan, use one piece a day, and put the rest away, and the accumulated water will recede, and it can be used in ordinary days.

There are also people with quick brains who are diligently stocking up medicines, not saving them for future use at home, but planning to stock up and sell them.

This kind of family uses a little, saves a little and sells a little. At least they don’t care about their own life and death just to make money, but the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. I didn't use a few yuan, I saved it all and waited for the money to be sold.

Snakes, rats and ants are alive, and they will come back after being expelled once. They also need to find a place to live, so they have to smoke the house with medicine cakes every day to ensure the safety of the family.

The kind of people who fall into the eyes of money are reluctant to smoke the house with a piece of medicine cake every day. As long as they don't see rats, snakes and insects infesting in the house, they think they don't have them in the house. They don't need medicine and save money to sell.

In this kind of family, as long as one person is sick, the whole family suffers.

But if you don’t listen to what you say, and don’t do what you teach, what can the neighbors do besides be vigilant and strengthen their own defenses to guard the door.
