Zhao Xiu put forward his idea to Gao Zhen, and Gao Zhen agreed without saying a word: "There is no shortage of people waiting for my father, and now he doesn't go out, and Dr. Ye is back, I can just go out for a walk, and take a look around for my father." ”

Gao Zhen agreed, and the rest of the matter will be easy to do. Zhao Xiu was thinking that this time she would have to follow lightly, it was enough for the girl to bring only one willow green, and the others would not bring anything except for the manpower and guards who were doing things. The Zhao family has industries in all counties under the jurisdiction of the Shanghai government, and there are shops in every village and town in Liufang, so it is easy to borrow a few people. As for the people who work in the porridge shed, they are in the noble ladies' official family charity alliance, and they have grange properties in various places, and whichever one is close, which one they borrow from. They are all out of money, do they really want to stand by and watch and give up their good names to others?

King Guangping also readily agreed, but just instructed Gao Zhen: "Bring a few more people, take care of your sister Zhao along the way, and don't go on a business trip." "It's that Zhang's side feels sorry for his granddaughter and doesn't want Zhao Xiu to go out of this far house. Zhao Xiu repeatedly explained the importance of doing this, but Zhang was still reluctant. However, she also knew that this was doing a good deed, a great merit, and it was more useful than adding hundreds of thousands of taels of sesame oil to the Buddha. So no matter how reluctant he was, the Zhang family didn't stop Zhao Xiu from helping others, but decided to accompany him too.

This time it was Zhao Xiu and Gao Zhen's turn to have a headache. The two of them are young people, and they are in good health, so how easy is it to travel quickly and lightly? But if the Zhang family wants to follow, her identity is here, she is old again, she has always been pampered, and she will not be able to resist the hard journey, and Zhao Xiu will not let her grandmother suffer. But if they really put on a guard of honor according to Zhang's usual habits, they will not seem to be going to relieve the victims, but like they are going to the mountains and rivers, which will inevitably make people look like it, and the trip will be slowed down.

The Zhang family is an elder, Gao Zhen is not good at saying anything, but Zhao Xiu knows the seriousness of the matter, so he carefully told the Zhang family about the preparations for this trip. As soon as Zhang heard this, he said: "This is too bitter, you are the daughter of the Nanhou Mansion." How can you be so wronged? ”

Zhao Xiu said: "Now I'm going to save people, what kind of identity shelf?" With willow green, I feel ashamed of my face. But Liu Lu is very capable, and she is by her side. I also added a helper, so I called her. Grandmother, rest assured, I won't be hungry and cold on my own. Besides, our family is not without industrial manpower in the disaster area, where is it really wronged? The prince of the world has golden branches and jade leaves. They all followed me, and he didn't feel wronged, how could I say a bitter word? ”

Zhang Shi was right to think about it, and said with red eyes: "I also know that my body is useless, and if I force me to follow, it will only drag you down." It's okay if I don't go, but you are not allowed to bring only one girl with you, I will give you the winter frost, everywhere you go, but where there is our family's property. Or if there is a six-room shop, it will surely bring me back with a letter, so that I can be reassured. ”

Zhao Xiu agreed, and Zhang called Zhao You in again, instructed him to follow Zhao Xiu, and stared at the girls to pack their bags for their granddaughter, so that's it.

Zhao Xiu and Gao Zhen went on a trip the next day, and also brought Zhao You and the personal guards of the Guangping Palace, as well as the steward of the Fenyang Palace, and there were more than 20 people in the group. In fact, the pomp and circumstance are not small. But Gao Zhen, who has the highest status, is strict, and no one dares to snort all the way, and the speed of the road is fast. It's not an hour. It's to Baoshan.

The porridge field in Baoshan is still the head of the Fenyang Palace, everything is comprehensive, and the order of the victims is also in order. Zhao Xiu checked the consistency of the porridge water and the taste of the medicinal soup, asked the steward a few words, and saw that he was old-fashioned. People also do their duty, so they did not delay much, and set off for the next place.

The place close to Jiading City is either the porridge field opened by the Fenyang Palace, or the other clan's mansions. Moreover, in these places, the disaster situation is not strict, and Zhao Xiu and the others are walking fast. Except for a stop on the way and lunch in a small town, the group was almost on the road at the rest of the time, and when it was dark, they had already arrived at Chuansha Castle.

The sixth room of the Zhao family has a semicolon in Chuansha Castle, and when they got the news, they hurriedly came over and took their group over, and vacated a few yards to settle down. Zhao Xiu took Liu Lu to live alone in a courtyard, and was about to ask Gao Zhen how he was settling there, but he heard that he took someone out, saying that he was going to the guard to inquire about the situation. Zhao Xiu had to freshen up first. Liu Lu asked when the meal would be served, she was worried about when Gao Zhen would come back, maybe it wouldn't be delicious, so she said that she would wait for the prince to come back, and asked what dishes were prepared in the kitchen. She thought that Gao Zhen had ridden a horse for a day today, the sun was shining, and it was very hard, so she prepared a few dishes for him to eat, so as to treat him.

Who knew that when Gao Zhen came back, he also brought a basket of dim sum to her, but when he left the guard, he passed by the time-honored dim sum shop on the street, and remembered that when he inspected the embankment with King Guangping last time, he had eaten it once, and he knew that it was delicious, so he bought a basket and came back to Zhao Xiu to taste. Both of them miss each other's dinner, and when they meet, they both find each other funny. Zhao Xiu didn't care about any cumbersome rules, and invited him to sit down and have dinner with him.

In the evening, Gao Zhen went back to rest at the lower place, but Zhao You brought Zhao Li to see Zhao Xiu. After the tidal disaster, in order to take stock of the losses of shops in various places, Zhao Hui, the head of the six-room family, sent out all the sons and nephews who had to be used, and Zhao Li was in charge of Chuansha Castle, and it was really a surprise to meet Zhao You. He specially came to Zhao Xiu to ask for peace, and told her in detail about the situation in his hometown: "Although some fields have been flooded, this autumn's harvest can only be kept by two or three percent at most, but our whole family is safe, and now it is also stable, please ask my aunt to give her great-uncle and grandmother to make her old man feel at ease." ”

Zhao Xiu nodded, Wang Shuangfu had already written several letters to report the situation at home, and she knew it all in her heart. However, the eighth old lady has been tired for a few days, and I heard that my body is a little unbearable, and the third room wrote to say that he was fine, but she was not very relieved. Zhao Licai came from Fengxian and knew the situation better, so she asked a few more questions. Zhao Li said that he was indeed tired, but after seeing the doctor and taking medicine, there was no major problem. She will be able to rest easy.

Zhao Xiu also asked about the disaster relief situation in various places, and Zhao Li said: "Needless to say, we Fengxian don't need to say, there are several big families in the county led by our family, and there are good officials like Tao County Order, and there is nothing bad about it." On the other side of Nanhui, his county magistrate had only been in office for two months, and he suffered this disaster, he failed to repair the embankment early, causing the sea to flood half of the county, and I heard that this official could no longer do it. He broke his leg when he fled for his life, and now he simply recuperates at home, and has taken leave of absence, leaving only the government affairs to others in the county office. He didn't care. Fortunately, the prefect is wise and ordered us to take care of the affairs of Nanhui for the time being, otherwise I don't know what the chaos will be. ”

Zhao Xiu frowned when he heard this, Nanhui met such a confused official. It's really unlucky. Originally, this was a natural disaster, but he was just unlucky, he took office late, and he repaired the dam by mistake, and no one wanted to. He has a beginning and an end. If the aftermath is done well, maybe the prefect will save him if he sees him well, and he will not be imprisoned. But now that he is broken, where did he put the people of this county? In such a catastrophe, how many lives will be lost if the post-disaster relief work is delayed by one day? He only cares about himself. What if you break your leg? It doesn't have to be that he runs errands himself. The king of Guangping could not see, but he could also strategize and preside over disaster relief matters. He can read, write, and speak, but he is lazy. Fortunately, Tao Cheng rescued the scene, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Since Tao Cheng has come forward, the situation on Nanhui's side can probably be controlled. When Zhao Xiu got there, just talk to him. Whatever supplies are needed, they can help. Zhao Xiu ordered someone to send a letter back to Fengxian's old house, and the servants who had been on an errand in Nanhui before were now idle at home, and they all had a lot of strength. Clever and capable, and familiar with the realm, he just went to take care of the porridge field.

When Zhao Xiu and Gao Zhen arrived at Nanhui, the servants of Fengxian's old mansion also arrived. Now they no longer complain that Zhao Xiu took away their errand. On the contrary, they were all happy. If it hadn't been for the little master who had transferred them all back, perhaps they would have suffered as well. Seeing that the neighbors they once knew had become victims of the disaster, and their homes were all flooded, they felt very uncomfortable. If there is an opportunity to help acquaintances, they are willing.

Tao Cheng has already controlled the overall situation of Nanhui in just a few days, and Fengxian is fine. He didn't need to worry about it, he just concentrated on staying on the board of directors of Nanhui. When Zhao Xiu and Gao Zhen came to the door, he had just received the news of the emergency relief food, and he was ecstatic about their arrival. He immediately agreed to lend most of the manpower of the county government to help maintain order in the porridge field, and also proposed several out-of-stock materials, asking Gao Zhen and Zhao Xiu to help buy them.

Recently, due to the high temperature and humid weather, the environment of the victims is relatively dirty, and there are already symptoms of epidemics. Tao Cheng urgently needed a doctor, medicinal herbs, and a clean water source. The local doctor in Nanhui is no longer enough, he can transfer people from Fengxian, but the medicinal materials are not said to be purchased, and the water source is also a big problem.

The matter of purchasing things can be handed over to the sixth room of the Zhao family. Gao Zhen also visited local big families everywhere, especially the stewards or shopkeepers placed in Nanhui by the Jiading clan and the royal palace, and asked them to help collect various materials, and Jiading also transported things over in a steady stream. Zhao Xiu, on his side, led people to filter the water in wells and rivers many times in various ways, and waited until the water became clear before boiling it before using it.

All victims need to clean their bodies regularly, receive medical treatment, keep their homes clean, and drink the soup from the porridge shed every day. If anyone showed signs of infection, they had to be isolated immediately, and only one of the family members should be allowed to take care of him. Regardless of whether the family is crying or not, no one is allowed to break the rules. Some people think that this is too inhumane, so that the family cannot be reunited, and the patient cannot enjoy the filial piety of his children and grandchildren during his illness, Zhao Xiu just didn't hear it. She has Gao Zhen's backing, and she is also the daughter of the Houmen, her family is famous in the countryside, and even the government is on her side, who dares to disobey her orders?

The name of the eldest girl of the Zhao family for her cold heart and hard heart gradually spread, and Zhao Xiu didn't care about it, until the infected people gradually recovered, but no more people were infected with the epidemic, and people began to realize how correct her previous ideas were, and stopped gossiping about her, but began to say good things.

After being so busy for almost a month, the situation in Nanhui has stabilized. There was no large-scale epidemic, and there were no victims starving to death due to lack of rice, and the house reconstruction project went smoothly, so Zhao Xiu relieved himself, went back to Fengxian, dealt with a few urgent household chores, and followed Gao Zhen back to Jiading.

For the relief of this tidal disaster, the emperor finally had a will. (To be continued.) )
