Chapter 570 Centralized Burial
At the beginning, no one cared about these small wounds at all, and felt that they had no impact at all.

Song Chen could only send people to emphasize to them over and over again, and even asked people to check everyone's hands for wounds every day when eating.

As long as a wound is discovered, someone will be arranged to deal with it as soon as possible.

After doing this several times, everyone knows that this problem is big or small, and no one ignores it.

As long as there is a wound, it will be treated as soon as possible.

Song Chen was very pleased with this result.

There is strength in numbers, and after about four or five days, the city has become somewhat visible.

But there is another big problem that comes with it. There are a lot of people trapped under the houses that were knocked down by the earthquake. Now that these bodies have to be taken out, burial is another problem.

Originally, according to Song Chen's intention, all these corpses were to be taken over and burned, but people of this era simply could not accept the concept of cremation.

Death by accident has already made relatives sad. If they are to be burned, the living relatives will not be able to accept it no matter what.

"Miss Song, they died so miserably. If they can't be buried in peace, we will not be at peace for the rest of our lives."

"Miss Song, can you let them bury them in peace? The corpses that were burned before were infected with the disease. There is really no way to do this, but they don't have the disease. Just burn them like this, even if they go to the Palace of Hell, They have no life either."

In the hearts of the ancients, people who were burned were unlucky people. Even if such people died or went to hell, they would continue to be tortured.

Now they have regarded Song Chen and Cang Xiuxuan as their backbone. If they have any questions, they will come to Song Chen and the others immediately.

Song Chen looked at the large group of people surrounding him, and the expressions on each of their faces were very sad.

After all these experiences, they seemed to have only one request left.

Song Chen couldn't help but listen.

But right now, if they are left to deal with it one by one, problems will eventually arise.

After thinking about it, Song Chen finally thought of a way.

"I know that everyone is still resistant to cremation, and I also know that it is the last wish of the deceased to be buried in peace, but given the current reality, there is no way for everyone to handle the funeral arrangements for their own families."

She continued to observe everyone's reactions as she spoke.

Seeing that no one showed any strong resistance, Song Chen continued to speak.

"The best way now is to bury all the dead together. We have specially found a piece of land to bury all the people who died in this earth dragon's rebirth. Every year in the future, we will regard the day when the disaster occurs as a special day." On the anniversary of their death, centralized worship will be held."

There are many such examples in modern times, especially those who sacrificed their lives for the country. Most of them are buried in cemeteries. This idea proposed here is somewhat risky, but it is also the best way.

As soon as Song Chen finished speaking, everyone at the scene fell silent.

They had never heard of such a burial method before.

Each of their families has its own ancestral tomb. Only when family members enter the ancestral tomb will they have something to rely on after death, otherwise they will be like ghosts.

Now we want their family members not to go to their ancestors' graves after death, but to be buried together. This...

After Song Chen said this, he did not continue to speak to urge them to make a decision.

She knew this was a process that required self-persuasion.

While everyone was thinking about it, Song Chen also invited their county guard over.

In the past few days, the county governor, as a bystander, could see Song Chen and Cang Xiuxuan's abilities very clearly.

He knew in his heart that without King Qi's help, there would be no hope for their city.

What disappoints him even more is that from the moment their land dragon turned over to the present, there has been no sign from Shangjing.

Except for a random imperial edict issued by the emperor, not a single imperial envoy came, and not a cent of food or money was found.

What's even more ridiculous is the imperial edict.

It actually means that the country is in trouble now and cannot support it.

To put it bluntly, doesn’t it mean that we have given up on them?
"Master County Sheriff, if these people agree to be buried together, can your County Sheriff's Office provide the money?"

These people must have been out of money. When the earthquake hit, everyone ran out alone.

Moreover, after several months of drought, even if everyone had money, they had already exchanged it for food before the earthquake.

To bury these dead, funeral supplies must not be careless. They do not have them here, so they can only send people to other cities to purchase them.

These all cost money, or they can be exchanged for food.

These things are matters in their own city, and it is impossible for Cang Xiuxuan and Song Chen to take these things on themselves.

With the court's previous attitude, if the governor of Xunzhou City still wanted to rebuild Xunzhou, he could only place his hopes on King Qi.

Now that they made this request, he agreed without even thinking about it.

"All the money will be borne by the county governor's office."

Now he was very fortunate that the last tax collected before the severe drought had not yet been handed over to the court. After the severe drought, he carefully hid the money, which came in handy now.

With his words, things would naturally be much easier to handle. "Now we are waiting for a reply from these people. If they agree, please ask the county governor to send someone to purchase funeral supplies as soon as possible, and then let them be buried as soon as possible."

The weather is hot and many corpses have begun to rot. Time cannot be delayed any longer.

"May I ask Miss Song, do you need to go down and persuade me?"

Now the county governor's title to himself has changed. In the past, he was still an official, but now he has become a subordinate.

It is said that those who know the current affairs are heroes, and he can be regarded as the most vivid expression of this sentence.

After hearing what he said, Song Chen just smiled and shook his head.

When they asked him to mobilize people to carry out clean-up work, his attitude and his current attitude were completely two extremes.

Perhaps, there is already a sense of crisis now.

If he wanted to gain another wave of goodwill in front of the people at this time, if necessary, Song Chen might give him this opportunity for the sake of his money. But at this moment, persuasion was useless and he could only Let them figure it out for themselves.

"Master Sheriff, just prepare the money. They should figure it out."

The centralized burial she proposed now is actually just a new idea. No one has been exposed to it before. Once you turn the corner, you will find that there is a deeper meaning in it.

Nothing is unacceptable.

Sure enough, those people didn't let Song Chen wait long before they sent representatives over.

"Miss Song, we accept your suggestion."

The expected answer.

"I will ask Mr. Feng Shui to look at a good piece of land. I will definitely not wrong the deceased. Your Lord County Sheriff has already offered to help you bear all the expenses. You can just contribute by yourself when the time comes."

There was no chance to gain favor before, but this time Song Chen decided to grant him a favor.

After all, if someone else takes the money, you should also give others some sweetness.

Song Chen's words really benefited the governor a lot. When he picked up the money later, he only had to feel a little distressed to remember what Song Chen said now.

Thinking about it, I also left a good impression on Lao Bai because of this money, so it was worth it.

After all, although the city is like this now, once it recovers, the city will still be very prosperous.

He didn't believe that God could keep it from raining.

What's more, now that King Qi is here to take charge, their city will only get better and better in the future. His position as the county governor will be secure, relying on the common people.

It’s almost a process of taking a long shot to catch the big fish.

Song Chen and the others were not unaware of his thoughts, but at the moment all their thoughts were on rescuing people and recovering, and Xiao Jiujiu and the others didn't plan to care about him now.

After the centralized burial was decided, people were sent to nearby states and counties to purchase funeral supplies that day.

In order to ensure that time was not wasted, they divided their troops into several groups and went to nearby states and counties to purchase.

Along the way, they also saw and heard a lot about Song Chen and Cang Xiuxuan.

Only then did they realize that they had really waited for the most useful person.

When they returned with the funeral supplies, what they saw and heard on the road spread throughout the city in the shortest possible time.

Cang Xiuxuan’s voice was unprecedentedly high.

It's just that Cang Xiuxuan and the others don't think this is a good phenomenon.

Perhaps, they should end things here as soon as possible and leave.

Even if he had the idea of ​​replacing Shangjing, that was not the case.

What he wants is to capture all the cities at the same time, not to subvert them one by one.

Now that their voices are so loud, the Xunzhou County Sheriff must be restless.

This is not the result of Song Chen and Cang Xiu Xuanyao.

A few days later, Cang Xiuxuan found the Xunzhou County Sheriff and made his intention clear upon meeting.

"What we should do this time has been done. You need to do the next thing yourself. The food and medicinal materials brought before will be left with you. As for the rest... you need to find a way to solve it yourself."

Cang Xiuxuan didn't say he didn't care, he just left a relatively open statement.

There are many possibilities for him to solve this himself.

At least, the county guard has found his head, and he will not just sit idly by.

"Your Majesty and Miss Song have worked hard these days. Your kindness to us in Xunzhou will be unforgettable to me and Bai Xunzhou."

Cang Xiuxuan took the initiative to leave. The Xunzhou County Sheriff would not be stupid enough to keep someone at such a time, so he thanked him nonchalantly.
