Chapter 140: Honor in Troubled Times 108
It was already the end of February when it rained heavily in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was March when the river could not bear the embankment burst, and the victims stayed up until April, when the court did not provide disaster relief, and they really couldn't endure it anymore, so they dragged their families to flee.
In addition to some of the victims who were close to Nanyi, many ran to the capital and the capital in the north.
Xiao Yuan and An Ning have been busy for nearly a month just to settle these victims.
It was at this time that Mei Zhiyuan came to find him.
Mei Zhiyuan is now helping Xiao Yuan manage school affairs in various places, and in addition, he has also accepted several apprentices to teach.
The Mei family originally managed the academy, this is Mei Zhiyuan's old business, and he is very handy.
With him, the school has saved a lot of work.
And Mei Boqing helped build the library building.
He has read a lot of books, and the Mei family also has some books, plus Mei Boqing also dragged the relationship to find some books, but there are a lot of books in the library.
Xiao Yuan knew that the Mei family was in charge of cultural and educational affairs, and when he saw Mei Zhiyuan coming, he thought that he was coming to talk about things in the school, so he quickly accepted the official document and planned to have a good talk with Mei Zhiyuan.
As a result, Mei Zhiyuan showed Xiao Yuan a letter.
Xiao Yuan said to Mei Zhiyuan after seeing it: "I'm not that cautious, I also know that the things of the year have nothing to do with Li Shoufu, I remember that Li Shoufu seemed to be pleading with our family at the beginning, but it was that Li Guifei...... Well, since he wants to send the child, then send it, I don't have to worry about a few children. ”
With Xiao Yuan's words, Mei Zhiyuan was relieved.
"Li Hong is not bad, there have been many disasters and difficulties in Daqi over the years, disputes in various places, and the party struggle in the court is also very strong, all relying on Li Hong to move around to get to this point, if there is no Li Hong, I am afraid that Daqi would have collapsed long ago. ”
Mei Zhiyuan sighed and said: "This disaster in Jiangnan has made Li Hongdu feel cold, and he is afraid that it is not far from the destruction of Great Qi. ”
Xiao Yuan frowned: "The princes in the court are constantly strife, and now they only care about their own interests, and they are pitiful of those people who are displaced." ”
"People often say that it is better to be a peaceful dog than to be a troubled person, which is really reasonable. ”
Mei Zhiyuan was also full of sadness: "I only hope that the third master will recover Jiangnan as soon as possible, so that the people can be peaceful, and the world will be pacified one day earlier, so that a prosperous and peaceful scene can be governed." ”
Xiao Yuan was about to talk to Mei Zhiyuan about Li Shoufu when he heard footsteps.
Immediately after, An Ning walked into the door quickly.
When she saw Mei Zhiyuan, she greeted with a smile: "Hello, senior brother." ”
Mei Zhiyuan hurriedly stood up and returned the salute: "Hello third lady." ”
An Ning nodded, turned around and said to Xiao Yuan: "There is something big going on in Jiangnan." ”
Xiao Yuan was startled and stood up suddenly: "But the epidemic has been detected?"
Mei Zhiyuan was also nervous when he heard it.
An Ning's expression also became serious: "Just now, people from Yuechuan Mansion and Pingyang Mansion came to report the situation, saying that some people at the checkpoint over there had a high fever and nausea and vomiting, and a few people in Yuechuan Mansion died directly on the side of the road." ”
Mei Zhiyuan was even more frightened when he heard it.
"What is this?"
An Ning shook his head: "It's still unclear, I want to take someone over to have a look." ”
Xiao Yuan nodded: "You pay attention to safety, take Hui'er and Yin'er together." ”
"Good. ”
An Ning thought for a while and said, "I think we have to increase the number of troops." ”
Xiao Yuan knew what this meant, and the increase in troops at the checkpoint was to prevent the people from unresting.
After all, now that there is an epidemic, all the victims who want to come to Nanyi need to be isolated, otherwise if the epidemic is brought to Nanyi, the situation that is easy to stabilize on the Nanyi side will also be a mess.
If it is just to be quarantined, it will cause panic among the victims, and if someone agitates it, it may cause a mutiny.
"I asked Dong Da and Li Chenshu to arrange this matter. ”
Mei Zhiyuan knew that Xiao Yuan shouldn't have time to talk to him about Li Shoufu anymore, so he came out with An Ning.
Xiao Yuan immediately asked people to call Dong Da, Li Chenshu and Yuan Wei over.
An Ning came out of the study and called Xiao Hui and Xiao Yin.
Her children have all learned some medical skills, but Xiao Hui and Xiao Yin are the better ones.
Of course, Xiao Yin is not as good as Xiao Hui, but Xiao Yin has a flexible mind, because she comes from modern times and has been baptized by the era of information explosion, it is natural that it is more appropriate to do propaganda work.
Now An Ning also needs Xiao Yin to do some propaganda work.
Soon, Xiao Hui and Xiao Yin came over.
As soon as the two of them entered the door, they saw that An Ning's expression was very solemn.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
An Ning asked them to sit down: "There are epidemic victims at the checkpoint in Yuechuan Mansion, I want to take you over to see for yourself." ”
"Good. ”
The two girls didn't say anything, and just agreed.
An Ning said: "You go back and pack your things quickly, you don't need too much, just bring some change of clothes, and I'll have some medicinal herbs to bring over." ”
Because of the urgency of the situation, the mother and daughter didn't bring anything more, and it took them a short time to prepare the things and medicinal herbs they were going to bring.
An Ning didn't take a car either, and the mother and daughter all changed into light men's clothes and rode over.
They only brought two changes of clothes with them on their backs, and the rest of their belongings were carried by a team of soldiers in a horse-drawn carriage.
From Nanyi Mansion to Yuechuan Mansion, it is necessary to walk for two or three days on horseback, and the weather is very hot at this time, and the three of Anning and Xiao Hui are staying in the hotel to rest when it is hot, and hurrying up when it is cool.
It took them more than two days to get there.
When they arrived at Yuechuan Mansion, Xiao Hui and Xiao Yin's inner thighs were worn out, and they jumped off the horse, almost daring to walk.
The prefect of Yuechuan Mansion came out to greet him in person, and An Ning said a few words to the prefect to understand the situation, and then took the two girls to live in the post station.
She gave Xiao Hui and Xiao Yin some medicine, wrapped gauze around their legs, and then let them change their clothes, and the mother and daughter took a car to the checkpoint.
There are also garrisons on the side of Yuechuan Prefecture, and now there are additional personnel at the checkpoint, and many soldiers have been patrolling, and they will arrest the victims who want to make trouble.
When An Ning arrived at the checkpoint, he happened to see a group of victims arguing with the doctor who was checking at the checkpoint.
Several of the victims shouted, "What are you doing here? We are very strong, we are not sick or sick, why don't you let us go, didn't you say that you will resettle the victims? You will give money to settle the family, why are we going to be out when we come?"
Those doctors are talking badly and are persuading the victims.
An Ning walked over quickly and asked, "What's the matter?"
The person in charge of the checkpoint here got up and said, "Madam, these victims are making a fuss, and they don't want to isolate anything. ”
An Ning glanced at the group of victims, turned to Xiao Yin and said, "After a while, you can take people to publicize it with the victims, and in addition, you must find a way to appease the people of Yuechuan Mansion, no matter how chaotic it is outside, we can't mess inside." ”
Xiao Yin nodded: "Mother, my province." ”
An Ning said to Xiao Hui again: "Let's go to the isolation point to have a look." ”
When she and Xiao Hui left, Xiao Yin said to a few very clever propagandists with her: "You go to Haosheng and talk to those disaster victims, and tell them that as long as they are isolated, we will be responsible for providing them with food, and if nothing else, the rice will be full, and as long as you abide by the regulations and don't make trouble, if you give An Jia money in the future, you will also give more as appropriate." ”
