Chapter 417: Snow Disaster

When Mu Zhanbei went to the south, the heavy snow stopped for a few days, which did not make Mu Zhanbei feel happy, and the time was even more urgent. The snow melted all at once, and I am afraid it would cause flooding. The south has always had plenty of rain, and there are canals dug up next to the fields to get water. However, the channel is not deep, and if the snow melts, the water will flood the fields in an instant.

However, Mu Zhanbei had not yet let people go to the problem of flood prevention, and the snow began to fall again. At its maximum, it was a finger's depth in half an hour. Even if the temperature is not so low when it snows, you can't always stay on the roof to clear the snow. But if you don't keep an eye on it, the house will collapse if you are not careful. Even those big brick houses in the county town have collapsed their roofs. Even the county government of a county seat where Mu Zhanbei passed, the wall was overwhelmed by this heavy snow because of disrepair.

"Lord Wang, I'm afraid it won't be good if it goes on like this!" It was Xizhou who spoke, the county where he was located was the poorest and most backward, and the houses where the people lived under his jurisdiction were also the most dilapidated. A heavy snowfall almost drove people to death. However, Xizhou was also the first county official to open a granary to relieve the victims before the imperial court's order arrived, and tried to persuade the people in the county town to vacate their houses to temporarily settle the victims. By now, the granary of the county where he is located is almost empty. The money and grain allocated by the imperial court have not yet arrived, so he can only borrow food from his superiors first. It's just that now the south side is suffering from disasters everywhere, and even if you take it, you can't borrow much. Fortunately, Mu Zhanbei arrived at this time, and Xizhou didn't even have time to be polite to him.

Mu Zhanbei bowed slightly: "This king already knows, don't be impatient!" "The money and food have been allocated, and he knows that there are things that he wants to take advantage of to reach out. It's just that now the priority is to pacify the victims, and the other wives and fathers-in-law can always solve it.

Mu Zhanbei is an omnipotent god in the eyes of people who grew up in Xizhou, and since he said it's okay, Xizhou's heart suddenly settled down.

But with it, there is also a deep exhaustion in the bones. There is not much food, even if he has not eaten and drunk much recently. Not to mention that every day is busy with feet not touching the ground, and I have to worry about comforting the victims and worrying about food problems. was appeased by Mu Zhanbei like this, and as soon as his whole person relaxed, he realized how tired he was.

Mu Zhanbei frowned slightly, and before he came, his wife said that he would take care of Xizhou. Although he didn't want to, since he promised his wife, he would do it. Speaking of which, this child is not even as good as the weak crown, and it is indeed a little difficult for him to worry about the survival of the people under the jurisdiction of a county town.

"You're at fault too!" One yard is one yard, and what should be said still has to be said. Now that I have explained that the punishment has passed, it is better than being taken out to kill chickens and monkeys in the future, and by the way, I will also affect the troublesome brother-in-law at home with sesame stuffing.

Xizhou Qiang knelt down and admitted his mistake with spirit: "The lower official knows his mistake!" The lower official should not open the granary without permission, and after the disaster is resolved, the lower official will immediately submit a petition for guilt, and will never escape the responsibility! "The crime of privately opening a granary can be big or small, it can be said that he thinks about the people and makes more mistakes than mistakes. It can also be said that he knows the law and violates the law and despises the court. If you really want to investigate it, he is not the only one who is unlucky. Once he is used by someone with a heart, Lord Guan Baiguan, who recommended him, and Yin Er Shaoke will be unlucky. Xizhou is not stupid, rather than holding a trace of luck and waiting for others to ask for guilt, it is better to submit a petition first, even if the court wants to use him to kill chickens and monkeys, it will not affect Lord Guan and Yin Ershao.

Mu Zhanbei said the same thing, things have priorities, and Xizhou's approach is no problem in his opinion. The main reason is that his behavior of opening the granary at that time was too simple, and it would inevitably give people a handle, so I just mentioned it first.

"If you know it in your heart, the other kings will solve it!" Since he knew that Xizhou was still the one who advanced and retreated in a certain way, and did not know the height of the sky because he had been an official for a few days, Mu Zhanbei had no intention of embarrassing him. Left and right are just a matter of one sentence, in the final analysis, Xizhou is for the people here. The law is nothing more than human affection, and no one has the courage to really bite him and not let go.

Xizhou smiled gratefully: "Xizhou, thank you, Lord Wang!" ”

Mu Zhanbei glanced at him and didn't respond. He sees who does a good job and who does a bad job, Xizhou can do things well, and he promised his wife that he would protect him. What's more, Xizhou's sister Geqing is still doing things for her wife, and protecting her younger brother is also one of the contents of the transaction.

"You go and rest for two hours first, and this king will go out and have a look!" Mu Zhanbei's intention to stop Xizhou to follow, this kid was already weak, if he continued to toss like this, I am afraid that this life would have to be tossed by him.

Seeing this, Xizhou couldn't hold on any longer, so he could only go back and rest first.

Mu Zhanbei looked relaxed, but in fact, he had a headache. I only walked a few laps on the streets of the county seat, and on the roadside and outside the city gate, there were people who had nowhere to go. No matter how big the county town is, there are too many victims, and the vacant houses are not enough to accommodate so many victims. As a result, they had no choice but to stay outside. It's good to be able to drag your family, at least your family is complete. But most of the rest were miserable and lonely. There are more children, but the number of elderly people is much less. It's no wonder that when disaster strikes, the old man's movements are not as dexterous as that of children, and even if they escape, they will leave their own bite for their children and grandchildren when they don't eat, so they are often the first to die.

Fortunately, although these victims seem miserable, they are not despairing. This is mainly because Sangluo has made porridge sheds in various places, and there is a lot of reason for the soup kitchen. As for the decision to house those elderly and children, it was only a few days ago. It is not easy to settle down immediately, especially if the heavy snow does not stop, it will not only be these old people and children who need to be resettled at that time.

Mu Zhanbei walked around and saw that there were many young and strong people. Even if you are a little older, it is not that you can't work, and the old men and old ladies in the countryside are not a lot of people working in the fields at the age of fifty or sixty, and their bodies and bones are good! Leaving aside the countryside for the time being, the facilities in the county town are much better, at least the houses are much stronger. The left and right of these victims have arrived in the county seat, so it is better to settle them down first. Now the snow does not stop, and the brick houses will not be able to bear it after a long time. Mu Zhanbei thought about it, and simply asked people to go to the city gate, where the disaster victims gathered, to recruit people, and let them clear the snow, which was all paid. Each person is in charge of one lunch a day, two nests of young and strong people, plus a bowl of potato soup with fat slices, and women, the elderly and children are one nest head and another bowl of soup. There is a porridge shed in the evening, and there is always no problem for the family to make ends meet.
