Chapter 390 Disaster Relief, Prince's Mansion Completed
Zhang Ci shook his head and said: "He is in his 40s, has been studying, and relies on his family to earn money. Later, the old mother passed away, and his wife and daughter embroidered and helped him to earn money, and his son and daughter-in-law worked for him. , Where did he get all this resentment?"

"I can't pass the exam anyway. I guess I feel very aggrieved. Does anyone in his family receive maternity subsidies?" Chen Fan asked.

"Yes, his wife, his daughter-in-law, didn't appreciate the money and even cursed at others. I don't know why he lost his mind." Mo Jian was a little angry.

"Maybe it hurt his self-esteem. At first he felt that he was superior to others. It was right for his family to work and earn money for him to study and squander. He has always been used to enjoying everything. But now the two women can still receive money after giving birth. It seems that his status as a man is useless, and his nerves can't bear it." Chen Fan could only understand it in this way.

Fortunately, this kind of person didn't become an official, otherwise he would be an official who despises women and doesn't care about the common people.

Zhang Ci said: "Never mind him, subsidies are good for the common people. Anyone who makes nonsense will deal with it."

The county magistrate from Zhenghe County next door came before dark, saying that Zhenghe County was severely affected by the disaster and asked for assistance.

When there was a strong wind in Zhenghe County, many people were outside, many were injured, more than a dozen people were killed, and a large number of houses were seriously damaged.

Chen Fan said: "Tomorrow, I will ask Dr. Chu to go to the warehouse to get some needed medicinal materials. Cao Dezheng and Luo Shaoqiang will bring some people to support them. Try to think carefully about what supplies are needed, and bring them there."

Jinshi is a newcomer, and he can get a good training with the experienced Cao Dezheng.

The next day, several counties sent people to ask for support.Chen Fan sighed, and arranged for the officials to bring the personnel and supplies there.

The post-disaster reconstruction in Yuanshuo County lasted for several days and gradually returned to normal.The injured people were treated in time, and some serious ones need to be raised for a longer period of time.Chen Zhongyan came back with the guards, and they participated in some disaster relief work along the way.

On the day of Qixi Festival, the county town is very lively.Chen Fan and Zhang Ci went to the street, and Chen Zhongyan followed behind.

Zhang Ci teased him: "Aren't you going to meet by chance?"

Chen Zhongyan didn't take it seriously: "It's nothing to meet by chance. Those who know their identities are the same, and those who don't know their identities should not be easily provoked."

Zhang Ci smiled: "Then you won't be able to meet someone you like in Yuanshuo County."

"The person you like doesn't have to be in Yuanshuo County."

"Oh? Are you in the capital? How often do you send letters?" Chen Fan wanted to gossip.

"It's a marriage after all, so it doesn't matter where it is." Chen Zhongyan pointed out the key point.

That's right, the prince is going to be given a marriage, and the person who gives the marriage may not be the person he likes.

"You can show it to the Holy Majesty, and ask the Holy Majesty to marry that person to you."

Chen Zhongyan didn't speak, but thoughtful.

Chen Fan and Zhang Ci looked at each other, did he really have a crush on someone?

There were a lot of people setting off the river lanterns, and Chen Fan and the others didn't bother to squeeze in. They walked around the street and went home.

The people who went out for disaster relief came back, and the county government held a summary and commendation meeting.

The officials sorted out the ledgers and exchanged glances from time to time.

Cao Dezheng said: "I am very happy to be commended and rewarded by the adults. However, Yuanfeng County has done a good job in disaster prevention and relief, but because of the aid to other counties, it has consumed a lot. This year's rice disaster will reduce production, and the county government reserves will be greatly affected. .”

Chen Zhongyan smiled: "The people are the most important. Disasters are only accidental. Yuanshuo County has withstood the test and will get better and better in the future. The grain will be harvested and the money will be sufficient."

The storm disaster swept through several southern states, and reports from all over the country were sent to the capital.Manchu civil and military officials were silent again.

They used to talk about Changping Township, but now Yuanshuo County is in front of them.I have done a good job in disaster prevention and relief work, and I have also supported personnel and materials in several counties.

The governor of Xiangzhou did not hesitate to write down some of the usual preventive measures and the countermeasures this time.Three counties in Xiangzhou did a good job, Xiangzhou City also responded in a timely manner, and the loss of people and money was relatively small.

Contributors should be rewarded, but the excellence of Yuanshuo County and Xiangzhou set off the weakness of other counties.It is estimated that many people want to throw wooden sticks at Chen Fan, right?
After handing in the report, Chen Fan forgot about it and continued to be busy with the affairs of the county.Chen Zhongyan is busy with the construction of his manor.

This year is a leap in July, and the progress of the project is very remarkable.

On the eighth day of September, the second day after Frost's Descent, the mansion will hold a beam-raising ceremony.Chen Zhongyan was so excited that he got up for a walk before dawn.

Zhang Ci seemed to sense it, and got up to look for him.

"I thought you were calm." Zhang Ci sat on the chair and joked with a smile.

Chen Zhongyan didn't hide it: "I also thought that after running for so many months, I wouldn't be excited, but when I thought about going to the beam today, I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. I woke up very early and barely slept for more than an hour."

Zhang Ci patted him on the shoulder: "My mansion is about to be erected, and I should be excited. The main construction will be completed soon, so don't worry about other things."

"Will it be a good weather today?" Chen Zhongyan looked forward to it.

"Of course, our luck has always been good."

Chen Fan also got up.While the three sons were still asleep, they were dressed neatly and carried into the carriage.When they saw the house in front of them, they screamed excitedly.

The twins don't want to be hugged, and they run very vigorously on their short legs.Chen Fan had braces on his body, holding his youngest son to his chest.The little guy kicked his legs all the way, watching his two older brothers running ahead.

After running for two gardens, the twins couldn't run anymore.Chen Zhongyan and Zhang Ci each picked up one.

"I arranged a courtyard for you, called Yanlai Courtyard." Chen Zhongyan pointed to a courtyard and said.

"Give us such a good yard?" Chen Fan was a little surprised.

"A bad yard can't help you." Chen Zhongyan laughed.

"Do you doubt my design, or do you not believe in your own design?" Chen Fan looked at him.

Chen Zhongyan waved his hand: "A slip of the tongue, haha, the yards are all good yards. It is relatively independent over there, and it is very convenient to go from the front yard to the outside."

This arrangement is similar to the backyard of the county government, they belong to them, and Chen Zhongyan belongs to Chen Zhongyan.

Zhang Ci said: "Then thank you first. When your garden is completed, we will also build a smaller garden."

Chen Zhongyan said with a smile: "Then don't build it here." He pointed to the other side of the mountain.

When the auspicious time came, Cao Dezheng presided over the ceremony and said a bunch of auspicious words. Chen Zhongyan tied the red silk to the main beam devoutly and put the grain bag on the beam.

Chen Fan and Zhang Ci looked at each other.A few years ago, Chen Fan led a group of younger brothers and sisters to hold the beam-raising ceremony; now, Chen Fan watches Chen Zhongyan perform the beam-raising ceremony.

A few years passed in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Ci looked at the three sons and said with a smile, "Now the next generation will participate."

After the beams were put up, there was work on the roof and interior, and a group of people were busy with greening and scenery.

On October [-], the project was all over.The workers on the other side of the mountain also completed the road construction project, and also paved a cement road in the mountain.

The eighth day of the winter month is the winter solstice. In addition to wages, Chen Zhongyan also distributed half a catty of salt and five catties of pork to each worker.
