Rebirth of the Pure Emperor and Noble Concubine

Chapter 70 Borrowing Food
The group rested for a while and set off again. If they had not reached the next town at night, they would spend the night in the mountains and forests. If the situation was better and they encountered a village, they would stay overnight at a farmhouse.

Along the way, Mowei also asked Su Peisheng many questions, about the disaster, the epidemic, and how Yinzhen contracted the epidemic.

Su Peisheng didn't hide it either. When Belle asked him to come back, he asked him to observe the expressions of the people in the backyard when they heard that he was infected with the epidemic and their expressions after they knew that he was coming to serve the sick.

In fact, Lord Belle had already thought about who would come to serve the sick. Niu Colu and Guanyun were one, and the other was Geng Mowei. It was just that Lord Belle thought about it for a long time when he mentioned that Geng Gege should come to serve the sick. He was willing to let her come over, but in the end Lord Belle didn't know what he thought of before he made up his mind to let Geng Gege come over to serve the sick.

Therefore, the candidates for the servants have already been decided. If Ulanara Shulan didn't choose them in the end, Su Peisheng would ask Ulanara Shulan to replace them.

Therefore, Su Peisheng's opinion of her was much better when she saw that Merwei offered to come to serve her sick, and in addition, Lord Belle treated her unusually, so the things that Merwei asked could be said. Well, although Su Peisheng won't know everything and say everything, at least he doesn't hide it.

And from Su Peisheng's mouth, Meiwei and the others also got a general understanding of the situation.

It is said that Yinzhen led people to the disaster area that day, because the situation was urgent, Yinzhen naturally would not waste time on the road, so the group rushed to the disaster area at high speed.

The extent of the earthquake was not too serious, but it started with Liaocheng as the center of the earthquake. Liaocheng and the surrounding areas of Liaocheng were slightly more serious. The houses of the people were damaged and collapsed. Since it happened in the early morning, most people had already died. Standing up and preparing to work, many people escaped unharmed, but a large number of people were still injured due to the collapse of houses; cracks and sandblasting appeared on many surfaces.

Yinzhen and the others drove all the way, but they didn't see many refugees on the way, so Yinzhen estimated the severity of the disaster in his heart.

At that time, Qin Tianjian only explained which direction the earthquake occurred, but did not say how serious it was, and the urgent report only explained the location and time of the earthquake, and briefly described the disaster situation, but the detailed situation was not clear. no.

When Xu Zhen arrived in Liaocheng, a few days had passed, and these local officials did not eat dry food. People in the living area have also been arranged to settle down in temporary housing, but there are a lot of injured people, and the number of doctors is far from enough, so this is a big problem.

It is said that distant water cannot save a nearby fire, and the surrounding areas have been damaged to varying degrees. Naturally, doctors are inseparable. It is not impossible to seek medical treatment in other counties and state capitals farther away, but it will take a lot of time to go back and forth. , many people are afraid that they will not be able to bear it, and the arrival of Yinzhen just solved this big problem.

Xu Zhen brought a lot of people this time, and there were also several imperial physicians from the imperial hospital, as well as a lot of medicinal materials, and he also recruited many doctors from various state capitals on the way here.

Yinzhen knows that there are many sequelae after the earthquake, not to mention comforting the people and rebuilding their homes, but the disease after the disaster is a big problem. In the last life, he was infected with the epidemic disease, although it was not after the earthquake, But the epidemic almost killed him that time, so after he recovered, he also asked the imperial doctor, and the post-disaster is the best time for the epidemic to occur.

Yinzhen doesn't know if it will happen this time, but Yinzhen always likes to take precautions before they happen, so he recruited many doctors on the way, and asked the imperial doctor and doctors to discuss how to prevent disasters. An outbreak occurred.

However, we all know that plans can never keep up with changes. No matter how good Yinzhen's planning is, yes, the local parents and officials have done a good job in the rescue work after the earthquake, but at this time the epidemic is really preventable or there is no prevention. live.

When Yinzhen and the others arrived, some people still had some symptoms of vomiting, headache, and dizziness, but these small symptoms seemed insignificant in front of some patients with broken arms and legs, and the doctors just prescribed a few medicines and went away. Busy with the next batch of victims, since the doctor said it was all right, they naturally didn't care too much about it, so the procrastination gradually got worse and became out of control.

"Are you the governor of Shandong?" Someone had already received the news that Beijing had sent someone over, and according to the itinerary, it was almost time to arrive. Therefore, the governor of Shandong, the prefect of Liaocheng, and the county magistrates of various small counties affected by the disaster The sky is waiting here, and it happened that today I ran into someone from Beijing.

The visitor was 25 or [-] years old, with a stern face and a navy blue brocade robe. Although he came here in a hurry, he looked a little dusty, but his demeanor made them unbearable with a cold glance. Followed by a fourteen or five-year-old boy, the boy's complexion is not bad, he seems a little excited.

"Your official, Wang Qiyuan, is the governor of Shandong Province. I wonder which lord is coming this time?" The earthquake happened in Liaocheng, which belongs to Shandong Province. Refer to him in front of him, it's a trivial matter if the black gauze hat on his head can't be kept, if you lose your life and hurt your family, then the gain outweighs the loss.

"Aixinjueluo. Yinzhen." Yinzhen nodded, his expression relaxed a little. Along the way, the people have been properly settled. It seems that these officials are still thinking about the people, but, but Let's hope they're not just putting on airs, otherwise, don't blame him for being unselfish.

"I pay my respects to Si Bei Le." Wang Qiyuan heard Yinzhen's name, and immediately knelt down to pay his respects, followed by the magistrate and the small county magistrate, who also knelt down to pay his respects. This is a real, living son and grandson of the dragon. Ah, I thought the emperor would send a minister here at most, but who knows that the four beiles were sent here.

This Si Baylor was notoriously ruthless and ruthless. If he really committed a crime and was found out by Si Baylor, even the Heavenly King and I would not be able to save him.

"Come on, you don't need to be too polite when you are outside. This is the thirteenth elder brother. Come with me to practice. Okay, now tell me the detailed situation." Yin Zhen called out and introduced the thirteenth elder brother to them. Afterwards, let them tell the story of the disaster.

"Returning to Lord Baylor, many people's houses were severely damaged in this earthquake, and their family property suffered heavy losses. There are also many injured people. According to the latest report yesterday, there are 480 people who died, and the number of people who were slightly injured or seriously injured was even higher. It has reached more than 3000 people." Wang Qiyuan stopped here, wanting to see what Yinzhen had to say.

"Continue." With just two words, Wang Qiyuan had no choice but to continue the unfinished topic.

"In the past few days, the yamen has also opened warehouses to release food, and set up porridge stations at various street corners. The victims who lost their houses have also been placed in temporary housing. However, if there is no food relief, the yamen I’m afraid the stockpiled food is not enough.” In a state capital, even if there is stockpiled grain, it is not enough for so many people to eat and drink every day.

This is indeed a big problem, but when Yinzhen brought people over, Emperor Kangxi had already sent people to escort the food and grass, but because there was a lot of food to be escorted, it was a few days slower than Yinzhen and the others.

"How many days can the food in the yamen last?" If it can't last before the army of food and grass arrives, then we have to think of other countermeasures, no matter what, we can't let so many people go hungry.

"If you go back to Lord Baylor, you can last for about two days if you eat fast." Wang Qiyuan looked sad. If someone died of starvation, it would be really difficult.

In two days, the grain and grass may or may not be escorted. It depends on whether God cooperates. If it rains, the grain and grass must be kept dry and undamaged. They may have to find a place to park them until the weather clears. What is the difference between bringing wet grain and grass with you?
No, regardless of whether the person who escorted the food and grass arrived on time in the past two days, the matter of borrowing food must be handled.

"How many rich and wealthy families are there here? How is the disaster situation at home?" Yinzhen thought, far away water cannot save the nearby fire, and the matter of borrowing food has to start with the rich and wealthy families in the disaster area. Tun grain.

"Going back to Lord Belle, there are rich and wealthy families here, and the disaster at home is not serious. Even without the assistance of the court, they are capable of solving the current situation, but..." Wang Qiyuan hesitated a bit at this point. Yes, it's hard to speak.

"Just what?" The thirteenth elder brother suddenly said, and he knew his fourth brother's plan as soon as he heard his fourth brother's question, but Wang Qiyuan didn't answer straightforwardly, which made the thirteenth elder brother dissatisfied. If you don't want to borrow food, if you still refuse to bleed some blood in this critical situation, then don't blame him for being a desperate Thirteen Lang for acting chivalrously.

"Thirteen, come back." Yinzhen said lightly, but the toughness in his tone was beyond doubt and could not be resisted.

"Fourth brother," the thirteenth elder brother dragged his voice, a little unwilling, but he didn't dare to disobey Yinzhen, so he obediently walked up and stood behind Yinzhen.

"Let's talk, just what?" Yinzhen was not angry because of the thirteenth elder brother's disturbance just now, and his tone was still light, without ups and downs.

"It's just that the lower officials agreed to borrow food because they were afraid that they would not be so easy. The strong dragon can't overwhelm the local snake, and they might make some demands." Wang Qiyuan said carefully, expressing his thoughts and suspicions. , I believe that Si Baylor should also think of these.

"Well, it's nothing, you go and invite them all to the Yamen, the Lord has his own opinion." Yinzhen nodded, he did know all of this, but the matter of borrowing money had to be done earlier, and he couldn't wait for the truth Let's find a way when there is a shortage of food.

"Yes, Lord Belle, Brother Thirteen, please rest for a while, I'll take care of it right away." After Wang Qiyuan finished speaking, he left with the prefect and county magistrate following behind.

"Master Baylor, the servant fetched water, why don't you wash it first?" Su Peisheng quickly went to find someone to boil some water. He dared to come all the way, but he couldn't wash himself well. According to Lord Baylor's clean nature, he might accept it. The limit is reached.

"Well, Thirteen, let's go wash up too." Because there is no condition along the way, Yinzhen naturally won't put on a show, and he will pass the patience. Now that he has the conditions when he arrives at the place, he naturally needs to wash it well. It's really shameful to see those big households later in the meeting.

"Okay, fourth brother, then I'll go first." Brother Thirteen raised his arm and smelled the smell on his body. Although it wasn't smelly, it wasn't good either, so he happily agreed.

Wang Qiyuan's ability to do things is good, and the speed of doing things is also fast. Only when Yinzhen and the others are taking a bath, they have already invited many wealthy, wealthy, famous and famous squires from the local area.

"Everyone, this is Sibeile. The emperor personally came here to learn about the earthquake and disaster. Please hurry up and salute." Wang Qiyuan brought a group of people over. In fact, he didn't know many people. He was the governor of Shandong, not the governor of Shandong. It only belongs to the small place of Liaocheng, so the local county magistrate recruited these local wealthy people.

"Caomin kowtowed to Sibeile, Lord Beile is auspicious." Several people looked in the direction of the person introduced by Wang Qiyuan, and when they heard Wang Qiyuan say that he was the prince, they knelt down to pay their respects without waiting for Wang Qiyuan's reminder.

The biggest official they have ever met in their life is either the county magistrate or the magistrate. It is already lucky to see the governor, let alone the prince and grandson.

Yinzhen swept over one by one, and there were six people brought by Wang Qiyuan. Although they were after the earthquake, they were still well dressed. Moreover, although the material of the clothes was not the best, it was not bad. See These few people do have some family background.

"You don't need to be too polite, get up and sit down." Yinzhen took a sip of the tea that Su Peisheng handed over, and then glanced at the few people who were sitting anxiously, keeping calm and saying nothing, just let them do this sitting.

These people are indeed beating drums in their hearts, and they

People who deal with merchants are generally merchants, and they need to take care of things with the government. Gifts should also be given. Interacting with the county magistrate is also in a flattering state, but now he is called by Lord Baylor to sit upright. What's the matter? I didn't say anything, how could they not be nervous?
"Fourth brother, Su Peisheng is going to serve you a cup of tea. I'm thirsty." It wasn't until the thirteenth brother suddenly appeared that the strange atmosphere in the hall was broken.

As soon as the thirteenth elder brother cleaned himself up, he found that Yinzhen had come out first. He could hear from Wang Qiyuan's words that these people were difficult to deal with, so how could he let his fourth brother face it alone?Although he knew that with his fourth brother's temper, it would be nice if his stern face didn't scare others, but how boring it was for him to be alone, it would be better to come with fourth brother.
