Many officials couldn't help but be ashamed of Jing Rui's move: "The prefect is really a good official!

"The prefect's sentiments are too noble, not something we can compare, I blame the prefect by mistake, it's really the heart of a villain and the belly of a gentleman!"

"In the future, I will only be the head of the prefect! The prefect is a person who does great things! Whatever he says, I will absolutely not say a word and do what he says!"

......

In fact, this is not the reason why those county orders are not ashamed of themselves, and help poor Yum strengthen their houses, this is a good deed for Yum, which is also a great achievement, they can be said to have won this political achievement directly by relying on Jing Rui! They didn't even take the slightest risk!

Originally, they were reluctant to do this, after all, the silver in the yamen was generally used for disaster relief, except for the surplus will be used to repair roads and water conservancy, except for the payment of wages, it is put in the treasury, waiting for natural and man-made disasters to occur that day, and then take it out to solve the trouble.

These petty officials are officials, and who does not seek meritorious service, but does not seek no faults! In times of peace, how many officials can make political achievements?

As long as there is no fault and they survive a few years, they will be able to rise a little higher! Therefore, many of these parents are stable and steady, keep conservative and do things, and as long as they are not greedy and do not bully Yum, they feel that they are a good official!

As for how to make Yum have a good life, they never seriously thought about it!

And Jing Rui's approach was to interrupt the stability they had been pursuing, so everyone was unhappy at first!

However, they still know that they are ashamed of themselves, and it is not that they are helpless, and many people also learn from Jing Rui to come to Yum out of their own pockets to do something, and strictly urge their officers and soldiers to complete the task according to the requirements of the prefect.

Jing Rui naturally didn't know about the psychological changes of these officials, but even if he knew, he wouldn't feel that there was anything wrong with them, most of human nature was like this, and it was indeed good if they were not greedy or harmful! Not to mention that now they can take the initiative to help Yum out of their own pockets!

Shangguan Xuanyi sent people to transport materials such as wood, green bricks, mud bricks, cement, tiles and grain.

The seeds of rice are distributed in rations by the imperial court every year, and now they actually use grain seeds for wages, and many yum people rushed to tell each other after knowing this, and then everyone rushed to do this work.

The grain seed with a yield of nearly 1,000 catties per mu is supplied by the imperial court, and many people can't find a place to buy it if they want to buy it.

Grain, to Yum, is a more attractive thing than silver, because silver can be earned by hard labor, but grain cannot be earned.

And now is the time of the slack farming, everyone is idle at home, so almost all the villagers have gone out to help the poor families in their village to strengthen their houses, some of the houses are so dilapidated that they even directly overturned and rebuilt a main house.

The hearts of the people are united, Mount Tai moves!

There are only a few houses in each village that really need to be reinforced, and only one or two need to be rebuilt, and this kind of thing can be done in just two or three days, and the reconstruction of houses, although it sounds like a big project, but under the temptation of grain, the help of so many villagers is not to build any mansions, but to build one or two main houses, so ten days of time is enough!

This matter, without even the supervision of the government, the Yum people consciously completed it, and some even took the opportunity to strengthen their own houses!

Jing Rui arranged the main manpower in the Yum houses in those counties and towns on the eastern coast of Nanyue Prefecture, because the eastern area is relatively close to the sea, that is to say, it is relatively close to the epicenter of Wanli Shitang!

Shangguan Xuanyi also sent some soldiers to help, but in the end, this is not the most important thing, so he only sent a hundred people, and the rest were all sent to the coastal areas of southern Xinjiang to wait!

Xiao'er and Shangguan Xuanyi also came to the border area of southern Xinjiang, and the day of the earth's crustal movement was getting closer and closer.

When they passed by somewhere, they found many people shouting around the pond: "What's wrong with these catfish, like crazy!"

"It doesn't matter if they're crazy or not, it's a rare opportunity, catch a few first, and I'll eat steamed catfish at home tonight!"

"Yes, the opportunity is rare, let's talk about it after we catch it!"

......

So many men went down to the fish pond carefully to catch the fish.

Xiao'er and Shangguan Xuanyi glanced at each other, and then walked over, and the two stood on the edge of the fish pond, only to see many catfish swimming wildly.

Xiao'er knew that the opportunity to alert the people had come, so she was deliberately surprised: "Brother Shangguan, what's wrong with these fish, why do you seem to be very scared and want to run away like crazy?"

Xiao'er's voice was deliberately amplified a little, just so that Yum could hear it.

Shangguan Xuanyi was very cooperative with Xiao'er's performance, he frowned, and said with a solemn face: "I once saw in an ancient book that every time a major earthquake comes, many animals will behave abnormally, catfish will swim wildly, weasels, snakes and mice and other animals will run away from their burrows, the clouds in the sky will sometimes change color, and the well water will also undergo some changes. All these phenomena are a sign that a major earthquake is coming. ”

Yum by the pond, the people who were catching fish in the pond were frightened when they heard the conversation between the two!

They stopped catching fish, so they hurriedly climbed ashore, surrounded Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao'er and asked, "This son, is what you just said true?"

"I've only seen it in ancient books, and I don't dare to confirm whether it's true or not, but I heard that before the earthquake in Qinghe County, someone also found that the well water in his house suddenly changed color after not raining for a few days. I guess it's not fake!"

"No, sometimes it's going to rain heavily, and the fish will swim out of the water like crazy!" said an old man, shaking his head and denying.

For this, Xiao'er will not deny it, because it is also a fact, there are still more than three days before the earthquake, and maybe there are other phenomena, so she said: "Whether it is true or not, everyone can believe it, sleep at night, try not to sleep too deeply." When you feel an earthquake, remember to run out of the house as soon as possible and run to an open place to stay!

Some things are rather believed than not, and many people took Xiao'er's words to heart, and then went back to the village and told the people in the village about it. Then the Yum people unconsciously followed what Shangguan Xuanyi said, and began to pay attention to whether there were other visions.
