The rain in Chang'an is sprinkled all over the world. It seems endless, and it's chilling.

Spring rain is as expensive as oil! Originally, in this season, such a heavy rain should be a joyful thing. But at this moment, no one is happy about this, only the endless darkness is felt.

In the ruined night, Chang'an lost its former prosperity. The whole land seemed to be covered in black. Shortly after nightfall, though, in the heart of each street, fires and lights were lit up again.

If you stand at the highest point of Weiyang Palace and look at it from afar, you will be surprised to find that the oilcloth tents that have been erected one after another in the rain curtain are illuminated by the lights, giving people an unusually warm feeling in this cold and rainy night.

All of them were properly housed in the shortest possible time. Although the tents are erected in rudimentary conditions, at least they do not end up on the streets.

In the center of each tent, in the makeshift stove, all kinds of food are being cooked steaming. There was a sweet smell that enveloped the surroundings, providing the most reassuring comfort to the people of Chang'an who were feeling hungry after the fright.

The joint patrol team, composed of the government and the patrol guards, was responsible for maintaining order in all parts of the city, dividing the defense area one by one, wearing armor and carrying knives, and patrolling back and forth without interruption to prevent theft or disorder.

The officials of the Shaofu and the officials in charge of the court, such as the Langzhong and the doctors, were also ordered to take action. Efforts have been made to actively coordinate the supply of various supplies to ensure that all people who are temporarily unable to return home have a place to live, clothes to wear, and food to eat.

"Don't let anyone starve!"

This is the word given by the Son of Himself today, and no one dares to slack off.

In addition to these measures, a large number of young scholars wearing scholar's robes also came to Chang'an. They are all scholars in the Chang'an Academy located on the Changle Plateau, and their main task is to do a good job in the psychological counseling of frightened people.

The road into Chang'an was badly damaged, and the carriage could not pass at all. All of them came by water, and took a large boat full of supplies down the Wei River and went straight to Chang'an.

After receiving the order of Shangshu Ling Yuanzhao conveyed by Dong Zhongshu, the great sacrificial wine, these scholars who entered Chang'an College were actually a little ignorant in their hearts, they didn't understand, at such a moment, what would be the use of letting them, the powerless scholars, enter the severely affected Chang'an City?

However, the Great Sacrifice Wine dispelled their doubts with just one sentence.

"What have you learned? Help the poor and help the common people, at this time! ”

So, this group of young people who had been studying at Chang'an College for less than half a year boarded the ship without hesitation. Even if you use these weak hands to overcome obstacles, so what? As long as it's to save people, there's no fear of doing anything.

I have to say that their arrival has played a very big role. In the twilight drizzle, the Yuanhou, whom everyone had always admired, stood on the ruins and explained to all the students who had come here what they needed to do.

It turns out that the knowledge I have learned in my chest can still soothe people's hearts and stabilize emotions in this time of crisis? Everyone looked at Yuan Zhao, and the green shirt on his body was covered with dust and traces of smoke and fire, and even some blood stains were faintly visible. However, the tone is still firm, and when people hear what he says, they will feel very down-to-earth in their hearts.

The scholars with a light in their eyes went their separate ways. Young people have infinite ambitions and many beliefs that have a lot of hearts, in fact, it started from this rainy night.

In the big tent in the middle of Suzaku Street, there was an endless stream of people coming in and out to ask for some instructions, and the young officials who had errands were very light-footed, and when they finished explaining what they needed to do, they did not forget to look up at the young marquis who continued to talk with the next one, and their eyes were full of admiration and reverence.

Yuan Zhao sat there, untying the green robe he was wearing, and the medical officer from Youtai Hospital was carefully cutting off his shirt that had been stuck with blood scabs. Earlier, in order to save people, he forced to carry the wood and stone that fell from a high place, although relying on the vigorous qi flow in his chest was not a big problem, but he was injured on his back after all.

"In fact, since I met you, hit it off at first sight, and formed a friendship that I have forgotten for the years, I admire the breadth of your knowledge in my heart, and what the old man values most is your respect for all life. The old man has a long experience, and he knows people deeply, and he can see from cold observation that everything you do is out of your heart, and even in some things, even if you sacrifice your life for it, you don't regret it. This is especially valuable! ”

Dong Zhongshu, who said these words from the bottom of his heart, showed a compassionate look on his face. He calmly watched as the medical officer cleaned Yuan Zhao's wounds, applied medicine, and carefully bandaged them with a clean white linen cloth. Then the young man waved his arm in disapproval, and when he saw that there was nothing in the way of the bandage, he laughed a few times.

"Huh! Lao Dong, do you know? What I value most about you is that you can tell the truth about the obvious! I can't accept you! Hey. ”

Dong Zhongshu smiled faintly, he knew that Yuan Zhao was pretending to be a relaxed joke, because he didn't want him to have any emotion. It's just that the more he takes it as ordinary, the more people admire his mind.

"Yuan Zhao! Listen well, you must not act so recklessly in the future. You have placed a lot of people's expectations on you, if there are really three longs and two shorts to save my old life, then I will die and will not be redeemed! Can't you tell which is heavier than the other? Do you remember that this is by no means a polite word I said to you, but a lesson that you will remember in the future, do you hear it? ”

Ji Di's face was ugly, not only because of his own injury and fatigue, but also because he wanted to let Yuan Zhao know what he should do best.

"Don't worry! Lao Ji, if there is something that cannot be done in the future, I will definitely do it again on the premise of protecting myself! ”

Yuan Zhao nodded earnestly to Ji Di, indicating that he remembered his words. Whether it is Ji Di, Zheng at that time, or the main father Yan and Dong Zhongshu, he actually understands what kind of sustenance and hope these people have in their hearts.

"Okay, Master Ji, you don't have to keep that face on your face anymore. Fortunately, Yuanhou arrived in time, not only saved your life, but also quickly sorted out this chaotic situation. In such a short period of time, everything has settled down in an orderly manner, and with such a means, Zheng Mou sighed to himself that it is better than wow! Hehe! ”

Taizhong Doctor Zheng praised it sincerely at that time. He saw Yuan Zhao's growth. In the past few years, Yuan Zhao, who has already been regarded as a meritorious person, has not entered the court for any personal gain. However, in this time of crisis, he stepped forward and resolutely took on his responsibilities.

No one would have thought that the owner of the position of the Great Han Shangshu Command would officially begin to take power under such circumstances!

The earthquake in the afternoon did not cause too much damage to the facilities on the Changle Plateau. This is mainly due to the fact that all the low-rise buildings are spread over a wide area. Yuan Zhao hurriedly inspected around and relaxed. Then summoned Zhao Yuan, Cui Hong and others, and asked them to lead everyone not to rush to clean up, go to a safe place, and take measures to deal with the aftermath. Wait until tomorrow when everything settles down.

Yuan Zhao, who arranged everything, did not delay his work. He ordered the big ships docked in the dock to be launched immediately, led the people to load all the materials that might be used, and went down the water, and soon came to Chang'an.

The disaster in the densely populated Chang'an City had long been expected by him. The world's stability plan is first in Chang'an! Therefore, there must be no mistake here.

After Yuan Zhao arrived and happened to save Ji Di and the child in distress, he faced a chaotic situation and had no time to talk about anything else. At this moment, he no longer had the slightest scruples, and in front of the emperor Liu Che, who came to the front of him, he took the initiative to ask for an order, and was willing to take on the disaster relief plan.

When the emperor saw Yuan Zhao arrive at this critical juncture, he was naturally surprised, and at the same time his heart was relieved. Leaving this matter to Yuan Zhao with full authority, he is very relieved!

So, after His Majesty the Emperor returned to the palace under the persuasion of Yuan Zhao and his courtiers, Yuan Zhao officially began to issue orders next to a ruin in the name of Shang Shuling.

All the officials and civilians who were not injured were immediately organized to carry supplies and tents and other items on the boats to the Wei River outside the southern city, and set up tents in various streets to set up shelters.

Of course, the things on the ship are a drop in the bucket, and after Yuan Zhao consulted with Taizhong Doctor Zheng and the officials of Shaofu, he opened several treasury mansions and used the national reserves.

The merchants in Chang'an City heard that Yuanhou had personally commanded the disaster here, led by Mingyue Tower, Fanxue Building, and the major shops in Dongshi.

As the saying goes, there is great power in the number of people, and the Tao is that the hearts of the people are aligned, and the mountains and seas can be moved!

Three hours after the earthquake struck, when it was just getting dark, all the homeless people and the people of Chang'an, who could not return home for the time being, were well accommodated. The medical officers of the Tai Hospital and the practitioners in the market also organized and began to treat the injured.

The people of Chang'an, everyone can eat hot meals, have a warm resting place, although they have just suffered misfortune, but under the comfort of those gentle scholars, the sadness in their hearts has been alleviated a lot. Many people began to smile on their faces. Especially when I heard the news that spread quickly, everyone was really excited.

"Yuanhou, are you really going to do this? These family foundations of the imperial court have been accumulated with great difficulty. Your Majesty he...... Will you agree to this? ”

Zheng had been in charge of the central treasury for many years, and although he knew that the state treasury had been very wealthy over the years, he was still very surprised to hear Yuan Zhao's decision. After all, there has never been a precedent for this.

"Well, I will convince Your Majesty to agree. In the world of life, it has always been the family and the country, and each other is cause and effect. I remember that a sage once said that the family and the country are one, and there is a family to have a country! Only when the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the small families are stable, can we work together to make the whole country on which we live more prosperous and stronger! If you can't keep your own home, how can you talk about ...... country! ”
