Chapter 247

The situation inside the city is not much better than outside the city, the water is deeper, neither the road nor people can be seen, many people are climbing on the roofs, or on the big trees, or they are holding the windows. All the food that could be eaten has been robbed, and there is nothing now. Those sallow faces, red pupils, and faces with sallow eyes show that these people will not be able to hold on any longer. If there is no further diagnosis and treatment, I'm afraid many people will die.

Not long after Shangguanlin entered the city, Mu Li led a group of officials from Lingnan County over. Everyone was soaking in the water, embarrassed with each other.

"A group of officials in Xiaguan led the county to see the prince of Shangguan."

The leader was the prefect of Lingnan County, with the same ugly face. This prefect of Lingnan was an upright person, and he didn't abandon the city because of the flood. On the contrary, he was united with the people and had no food. Loved by the local people.

Shangguan Lin waved his hand, what was he still paying attention to the politeness at this time, he spoke calmly.

"You mobilize all the people in the county office, as well as the elite soldiers brought by the king, and notify all the people in the county to move to the mountains, and let people notify the neighboring counties. If you soak in the water like this, it will soon be everywhere. Floating corpses, if the corpses are soaked in water, I'm afraid there will be a plague."

Shangguan Lin thought of the time at Feng Yaguan, although it was a man-made poison, but he was really frightened by the plague, so he didn't want such a thing to happen again.

"Yes, the officer immediately ordered people to do it."

The prefect turned around and ordered the county lieutenant under him: "Have you heard what the prince said? Immediately send people around to notify everyone to move up the mountain, as well as those children and old people. Be sure to help them move to a safe place. Two neighboring counties, ordered people to move to higher places."

"Yes, my lord."

The county lieutenant took the order, and Shangguan Lin frowned and called him: "You just say, go to the mountain and start releasing food."

I believe this proposal will be more convincing than any words, because he has seen that everyone is hungry.

"Muli, you lead people to a nearby county town with silver to buy and sell rice, and some tents. Everyone evacuates to the mountains tonight."

"Yes, my lord."

Muli and the county lieutenant all took orders to go, and soon there was the sound of gongs and pots knocking in the city, and everything that could be used to knock loudly was brought, forming a strange team one by one, but no one knew what to do. Can't control those, shouts sounded out.

"The emperor has an order to send Prince Lin to rescue the disaster. Now everyone moves to the mountain and distributes food for disaster relief. Everyone moves to the mountain and distributes food for disaster relief."

This cry, in the continuous drizzle, was undoubtedly the voice of God from heaven, and the victims shouted excitedly from time to time: "Hurry up, move to the mountain, hurry up, there is food to eat."

Everyone climbed down from the heights, and the figures on the street swayed one after another, moving to the outside of the city gate. Seeing this, Shangguan Lin heaved a sigh of relief, and turned to look at the Lingnan County Sheriff. He was about 50 years old, and he was born with a straight face. At first glance, he is a decent person. During this flood, he was able to stick to the county and not leave the people. It can be seen that he is a person worthy of praise. If his future is not uncertain, this kind of talent must be reused.

"Let's go, how many people have died in this county and two counties?"

Shangguan Lin's voice was a little cold, it was damp under the rain curtain.

Hearing his words, the magistrate of Lingnan County felt extremely heavy, and replied respectfully: "It's all the incompetence of the subordinate officials. There are about hundreds of people who died in one county and two counties."

"Hundreds of people?"

Shangguanlin knew that the prefect of Lingnan had done the best job. Because of such a severe flood, with no food to eat, only a few hundred people died. I'm afraid there will be no less than a thousand people.

"Tell me about the situation in this county."

"Yes, my lord..." The two led some of their subordinates out, and the others joined the rescue team.

"There is a county and two counties in the south of the Lingnan Mountains. Although they are adjacent to each other, they are also connected. Because of continuous heavy rain, this is the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Because the dams in the middle and upper reaches were not built properly, the dams collapsed, and the flood came to us. , now the water level in the Yangtze River is higher than that in our counties and counties, and it can't flow out at all. If we build dams, we can discharge the floods, but the downstream counties will inevitably be damaged. a county."

Shangguan Lin listened, and he was in awe of this Lingnan county guard. This man is a useful talent. If he can, he should really be entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

"You're tired."

Shangguan Lin spoke calmly, and the Lingnan County Guard was a little shocked. This was the most heart-warming sentence he had heard in the past few days, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak. In fact, a group of officials under him insisted on building the dam. He was the one who insisted not to do this, and waited for the disaster from the imperial court. In this way, only one county and two counties were lost, and other places were saved. If the dykes were built again, although Lingnan County was fine, other villages would be fine. It is also covered up, and so on, it will form a vicious favoritism. The floods in Dongqin this year will be very serious, and the severity of the disaster will inevitably affect the vitality of the whole country.

"This is what a servant should do."

The two people were talking, and they had already stepped out of Lingnan County City. Outside the city, more and more people were still covered with water. The crops and ditches were completely submerged in water. There was only a mountain peak in the distance, covered with green trees. It is shaded, and it is much higher than the water level. Some people have reached the foot of the mountain and climbed up the mountain.

This migration lasted until night, when all the people moved to the mountain, and dozens of tents were set up in the air. In the drizzle, wisps of smoke floated up, and the smell of rice porridge permeated the mountainside. At this time Everyone thinks this is the most fragrant smell in the world. The doorways of the tents are full of hungry faces. Those faces have slightly closed eyes, and let the rain spread over the faces, and there is a trace of vitality in the waxy yellow.

Until someone yelled: "Drink the porridge."

This sound was like thunder in the sky, and people rushed out, regardless of whether it was raining or not, people's voices mixed together could be heard from a distance.

"Don't grab, stand still, and come one by one, or everyone won't be able to eat."

As soon as I said this, it really became a lot quieter. The long lines of people moved forward one by one in neat rows. Yes, this time is still bearable.

A candle was flickering in the tent. Shangguanlin was sitting at the table, staring at the blueprints of counties and counties neatly laid out on the table. Now he had to find a way to drain the flood. Only by draining the flood as soon as possible could Lingnan County be saved. The counties that are connected with the two tight collars, otherwise, the court will not be able to last long if it has food, and it must not always rely on relief.
