Chapter Ninety-One: Disaster Relief Society

The crowd of onlookers continued to stir.

This kind of thing is the first time to experience, and the squires beside Liu Renli raised their chins one by one, and the pride was self-evident.

Although it was noisy, the sound of shouting below was still heard clearly, and the voices below either shouted in favor or the adults were wise, and then the people fell to their knees one by one.

Liu Renli was a little excited, but he didn't expect Zhou Heng's suggestion to get such a good effect.

Now there are more and more silver taels and rice grains donated, this is a double-edged sword, he didn't think about greedy for anything, but this is a hot potato.

It's not good, there are one or two colleagues who want to participate in a book, and many things are not clear.

In this way, the accounts are open, and everyone knows where the money and food go, so that they are not afraid of being blushed and framed by others.

"Well, since you have no opinions in the township, then do it, Dr. Qu will ask you and you to work hard from today onwards, announce the money and expenses every day, and then count the merit monuments together, and leave the descendants of Qingping County from generation to generation."

Doctor Qu and a few squires hurriedly gave a salute, and Dr. Qu immediately said:

"Lord County, these matters, we can send people to follow the release in turn, the old man wants to participate in the epidemic prevention with Dr. Zhou, I hope Lord Liu will allow it."

Liu Renli was a little moved, the old man was already in his fifties, and his physical strength was not as good as that of the young man, so to speak, the squires behind him also hurriedly followed suit.

"Although the county lord and I don't know medical skills, but there are still tenants and small servants in the family, this porridge and epidemic prevention need manpower, and our Zhang family will give sixty more laborers."

"We'll have fifty ...... with our family"

"We're out of forty ......"

With the shouting, the people below understood that they couldn't afford to produce silver, but they could still get a head.

This is okay, now is not the time to be busy with farming, it is still okay to come out and help for a month.

Immediately, the team of donations doubled in size again, Liu Renli nodded, did not say a word to Doctor Qu, and led people away.

He's going to see the watering cans and the making of the mousetraps, which will be used tonight, and they won't all be done, but they must be enough for today, and the quality must be passed.

Donations here are already on the right track, and with this disaster relief committee management, you don't have to come out on your own, and many things can be done.

Liu Renli's steps were very fast, and instead of taking a sedan chair as usual, he walked through several streets to one of the largest blacksmith shops in the West Market.

As soon as he entered the door, he didn't wait to speak, and a man hurriedly ran out and saluted in fear.

"Lord County, why are you here?"

Liu Renli helped the person up and said with a smile:

"Just come and see, how are the watering cans and mousetraps made?"

Only then did the man raise his head, with a sincere smile on his face, and pointed to some blacksmiths behind him and said:

"Everyone stopped other work and made spraying cans and mousetraps first, and dozens of semi-finished products were made at this time, and it seems that only two pots are finished products, I wonder if they meet the requirements?"

"Zhou Yi'an, come here."

Liu Renli waved his hand behind him, Zhou Yi'an hurriedly stepped forward, he had studied the drawings in detail, and was very familiar with these two objects, seeing Liu Renli calling him, he was busy kneeling on one knee to salute.

"The little ones are here."

"You go and try it, is there a problem with this pot and the mousetrap?"

Zhou Yi'an hurriedly stepped forward and picked up a made spraying can, this thing is the same as the kind of pot used to water flowers in later generations, with a round belly, a long mouth, and then the head is a shower head with many holes, the top of the pot is half closed, half has a gap, and there is a beam on it.

Zhou Yi'an saw that there was a water tank next to him, so he quickly scooped up a few scoops of water, filled half a pot, carried the beam, picked up the pot and began to sprinkle water in the yard, the water under the shower head was very smooth, but the upper half of the water was not large, and the kettle was tilted again, and it leaked out from behind.

Zhou Yi'an, turned the spraying can around, looked at it carefully, and then found the problem.

"Before, I gave you the drawings, right?"

The blacksmith head hurriedly came over and squatted down, and unfolded the one in his arms, which he had drawn according to the original picture, and the mark was very clear.

Zhou Yi'an looked at it, pointed to the spout connection and said:

"You see, it's not very clear on the drawings here, this spout must come out from the lowest place, so that even if there is a little water left, it can be sprayed, on the other hand, the position of the spout outlet is a little high, so the water is not smooth, there is no strength, and there will be a lot of water left that cannot be sprayed."

The blacksmith understood at a glance, and quickly called for the half-finished products to be brought in, and told everyone where the opening was, and then he himself made a hole and connected the spout.

Zhou Yi'an took it, poured water into the pot, and when he lifted it, everyone saw the difference, the water flow was smooth and powerful, and the spraying area was much larger.

The blacksmith slapped his thigh, looked at Zhou Yi'an and said with a smile:

"Little brother, thank you for your advice, otherwise this batch of pots will be in vain."

Zhou Yi'an didn't say a word, and went directly to look at those mouse traps, there was nothing wrong with this, the mechanism was sensitive, and with a slight touch, the mouse trap snapped and closed.

Zhou Yi'an picked up the watering can that he made later and looked at Liu Renli.

"My lord, let's take this pot to the blacksmith shops to have a look, if there is a problem, the subordinates guess that this is the problem, it is better to talk about it together."

Liu Renli nodded and looked at the blacksmith.

"No matter how much you do at noon, send it to the yamen first, where you will train personnel to prevent the epidemic in the afternoon, this spraying can and mouse trap are key items, and someone will count the number with you after delivery, and settle the settlement, don't worry about the money."

The blacksmith waved his hand, "My lord doesn't need to be like this, we rough people don't say anything, but you are a good official, a good official who works tirelessly for the people, and the gathering of the victims of this flood disaster is a matter of Qingping County, and I also want to contribute." ”

Liu Renli clenched his fist towards the big man, "The mind is the official, but it is not easy for you, there are still these people who want to support their families, as long as they can build objects in time, they are already helping the county." ”

Saying that, the first one walked out, and the big man led people to the door, looking at the back in the distance, and the guys behind him kept sighing.

"Good official, our Qingping County has been saved."

Dahan rolled his eyes and shouted: "Don't look at the excitement, hurry up and give me the strength to feed, try to do as much as possible before noon, I don't want to be robbed of the lead by other blacksmith shops." ”

As soon as these words came out, these guys all started to do it like joy, and next to an artificial roller that pressed the iron plate, two people shook the roller bare-chested, shouting in their mouths, and the whole blacksmith shop was in full swing in an instant.

Liu Renli took Zhou Yi'an and others to walk through all the blacksmith shops in the city that contracted this work, looking at the statistics on Zhou Yi'an's small book, Liu Renli was less worried.

Looking up at the position of the sun, it was already noon at the moment, and when he walked out of the Yao Ji blacksmith shop, it was just opposite the Rejuvenation Hall, and Liu Renli paused.

Xiu'er is still studying here, why don't you take a look?

Turning around to look at the personnel who followed, Liu Renli waved his hand.

"Zhou Yi'an followed me and went to Huichun Hall to see the preparation of the medicines, and the rest of the people He Zhutou took them back to the yamen for dinner, and then hired a car to help all the blacksmith shops transport supplies."

He Zhutou hurriedly hugged his fists and led his life, Zhou Yi'an looked excited, raised his eyes to look in the direction of the Rejuvenation Hall, it seemed that there were still many patients.

"Lord County, there are so many patients in the Rejuvenation Hall, it is much more lively than the Shouhe Hall opposite."
