More than 2,000 people were still working very quickly, and then a large forest was cut down. Instead of rows of houses, they are simple houses, but the people who live in them are satisfied. This is always a house, always sheltered from the wind and rain, no longer have to sleep in the open air, no need to sleep on the mud on rainy nights, snowy nights, away from home for so long, finally slept in the house. Many of the victims were in tears when they moved in.

These days, they are working, receiving wages every day and buying food. Now that the houses have been built, the officials say that there are several kinds of work to be done to build roads, and that stone mining is the heaviest work and pays the most, followed by road repair, then chores, and then women cooking. These are all provided for free food, or are they paid every day.

The rest of the people who can't do work are the elderly, the sick, and the children. One of these patients is a female doctor, I heard that it was the wife of a former official, and the divorced one took her daughter to live, and the divorced woman was already very miserable, and she still had to treat them, and she did not accept the consultation fee, and also sent free medicinal materials, and the maid boiled it and drank it on the spot. These moved the victims, and they all inquired about the name of the female doctor, only to know that others called her Mrs. Hu.

There are also children who are arranged, such as children who are taken care of by their parents, they will be called together and go to another woods with the elderly to pick firewood, which can be sold to the construction site of the road, so that they can make a few dollars a day.

It was easy for the women to do it, and Cuijinlou temporarily built a simple house next to the houses where the victims lived outside the city, gathered the women who knew how to needlework, and Cuijinlou paid them to make clothes. Now the cloth clothes that are ready to be sold to the victims are ready, and this part, Cuijinlou does not make money, but calculates the money and wages for the clothes, and then sells them like this, so it is very cheap. Victims who have already received their wages have started to buy it.

And then there are very young children. If they can't work, they will be taken care of by their parents and relatives, and the orphans will be unified by the government, and these children will not be able to return to their hometowns in the future because they are orphans. It is under the control of the government. Fortunately, the government originally had a nursery school, and it happened that these children were placed there.

Because the government was well prepared, these went very smoothly. For a few days, the victims went about their jobs. At this time, the follow-up victims arrived. These victims did not arrive together, but every day, until the Chinese New Year, it reached more than 10,000 people, and these people were better resettled, and they directly had houses to live in, and then they were divided into men, women, and children. Each assigned work to do, but the number of people was too much, and the government was too busy. At this time, Chen Wenjun and Chen Wenlin were already helping the officials and clerks, but now they see that the place where the victims are registered is too busy. The victims lined up in a long line, and the two of them found their usual friends, all of whom were scholars, and came together to help the officials register and make records, which greatly eased the workload of the officials.

Chen Wenhui was not idle. She and her maids and nurses went together to help Hu take care of the sick victims, and under the drive of Hu Shi, many well-behaved and kind doctors in Ancheng came to the residences of the victims outside the city for free consultation. It doesn't matter, because under the leadership of Wang Yihe, Lan Shanghan, and Wan Jia, many wealthy families in the city donated medicines, and the yamen also took out the stored medicinal materials, so as to ensure that the victims needed it.

The Bai family was also busy, first organizing donations from the ladies of Ancheng, and then going to Deqing City to organize donations from the ladies of Deqing City. Some of the ladies in Deqing City were kind-hearted and immediately gave generously, and some of them were not kind-hearted, in order to appease the Bai family, or for fear of offending the Bai family.

After Bai's busyness was done, he went to the rest of the four counties to donate, and finally returned to Deqing when it was already about the New Year, Bai didn't care about the preparations for the New Year, and directly took the collected money, clothes, and medicinal materials to the victims. The medicinal materials were left for Hu and the doctors to treat the victims, and the clothes were given to the victims who had no money to buy clothes, especially the orphans, and the money was directly given to the orphans, to buy them food, buy medicinal materials, see a doctor, and find a mother-in-law to take care of them. When taking care of the orphans, Bai's motherhood was full of devotion and dedication, and she also brought the kind-hearted ladies together, so that because there were more and more disaster victims, there were more and more orphans, and the nursery could not bear it, but now these ladies joined in, and suddenly brought a large number of people and property, food, clothes, bedding and other daily necessities, and now the pressure has been greatly relieved.

Chen Wenhui also forgot about the Chinese New Year, she followed Hu Shi every day to see a doctor for the victims, and the work was not heavy, she and Mingzhu were responsible for registering the sick victims, first asking about the condition, and then writing it out, so as to save time for the Hu family, in the process of inquiry, they sometimes chatted with the victims. Later, when there were more sick numbers and there was no time to chat, Chen Wenhui saw that his brothers had brought his friends over, and he was inspired to send a letter to his good friends, asking them to help.

The fastest one to come here is the new friend Huang Yuyan. Her father is now the prefectural governor of Anseong, and he is the busiest of all. Her mother and Bai helped out at the Childcare Center. Her brothers and the two Chen brothers were together to help register the victims. Now the most idle thing in the family is her, seeing that everyone is busy, she can't do it for a long time, but as a girl, it is not good to show her face, I didn't expect that Chen Wenhui would give her a letter, asking her to help the Hu family, there are already Chen Wenhui and Mingzhu, both of them are her friends, she immediately took the letter to the nursery to find her mother, the mother was still a little hesitant, but the Bai family on the side encouraged her to go, and her mother was not easy to say, so she had to tell her to take more maids and mothers-in-law, pay attention to safety and so on. Huang Yuyan was so happy, she went directly to the Hu family without caring about the last time, Chen Wenhui and Mingzhu were busy in a faint, and immediately pulled her to teach her how to do it, gave her a table, and let her start working with a pair of paper and pencils.

The next day, another one came, and to Chen Wenhui's surprise, this person was actually Li Shuyu. You know, among these friends, the strictest tutor in the family is Li Shuyu, she was born in a scholarly family, she has been three from four virtues since elementary school, the door is not out, the second door is not sold, usually their parties can not participate every time, now I didn't expect that she would be the second to come. Chen Wenhui and Mingzhu, although Yu Yan was very busy, she still couldn't resist the fire of gossip, so she grabbed Shuyu and asked first. Shuyu looked at her friends helplessly, in fact, she came out very simply, originally she received the letter, she thought that the family would not let her come out, so she went to tell her mother with the psychology of trying it out, her mother did not dare to call the shots, and when she was hesitating, her grandfather knew, and directly asked her to clean up and go the next day. At this moment, Shuyu and her mother were very surprised, but they didn't dare to ask under the grandfather's prestige, so they came, and now they are still confused, and they don't know why the family let her out.

Chen Wenhui heard this, her eyes flashed, and she didn't say anything. In the afternoon, the rest of Wang Yaozhen, the Lan family sisters, and Wan Qiaozhen all came with the maids and sisters-in-law, and now there was a huge group of people, and suddenly the place of the Hu family became narrower. When Chen Wenhui saw it, she hurriedly asked her nurse Zheng's mother to be responsible for the distribution, some went to decoct the medicine, some went to clean up the medicinal herbs, and some went to take care of the patients.

Chen Yuanheng also returned to Ancheng when he was about to reach the end of the year. Originally, the officials began to seal when they were young, but because of the special nature of this year, he specially ordered that there would be no rest this year, and all of them would continue to work, but the New Year would be closed from Chinese New Year's Eve to the third day of junior high school, and the fourth year of junior high school should continue to work.

He was joined by the officials, catchers, and clerks he had mobilized from several other counties. After all, there are so many people in Ancheng, the issue of public security is very important, and it is definitely not possible to rely on the manpower of Ancheng, there are a lot of things that have happened in the past few days, although they are all petty theft things, after all, it is not conducive to the stability of the people's hearts.

Chen Yuanheng also brought some relief materials issued by the imperial court for the relief of the victims. The court heard that they began to take in the victims here, and the work was going very well, very happy, and specially proposed a reward, and said that after the war, the meritorious deeds were rewarded, this time it seemed that all the officials of the five counties and one government in Deqing were beaten with chicken blood, originally by the prefect Chen Yuanheng pressed his head and had to work, but now he is working hard, desperately.

Seeing that the disaster relief still has this benefit, several nearby prefectures have also begun to take in the local disaster victims, so that these disaster victims finally do not have to travel and can settle down. It's just that they don't have Anseong as good as Anseong's work-for-relief work, so the victims of the disaster are the first choice to go to Anseong, and some of the relief victims, after a short rest, heard that Anseong has resettled the victims to see a doctor and do work, and can make money, so they start to go to Anseong again.

As a result, more and more people are coming to Anseong. Later, because there were too many victims, Chen Yuanheng and Huang Tingzhen decided after discussing that they could not just build the road from Ancheng to Deqing, because more than 10,000 victims were said to be working, even if they were standing, they could go to Deqing City. Therefore, they found Wang Yihe, borrowed 100,000 taels of silver from the bank, and began to build two roads, guaranteeing the tax revenue of Ancheng for the next year and the year after. At this moment, Wang Yihe was also happy, he was worried that his bank had too much money, and it was difficult to lend it for a while, but now it is good, and he has a business of 100,000 yuan all of a sudden, and he is overjoyed.
