The teaching work of the 'Yunnan Jiangwutang' was suspended for many days because of the arrival of the hungry people in southern Sichuan, and at Li Yi's request, the teaching work returned to normal, but he had little time to teach.

Under Li Yi's leading role, officials enthusiastically donated, ranging from Jian Zheng and Qian Shitang to officials at all levels, ranging from 100 to 3 yuan.

Even some people without grade also actively participated, and the total amount of donations reached more than 5,000 yuan.

Although the total amount is only roughly the same as Liang Shutong's donation, Li Yi is already very satisfied with it.

The demographic work is also proceeding in an orderly manner, but there is still a long way to go before the comprehensive statistics are completed.

Since most of the hungry people in southern Sichuan already have a fixed residence, although the conditions are still relatively simple, they finally have a place to stay sheltered from the wind and rain, and the mood of the victims has gradually stabilized.

Seeing that the time was relatively ripe, Lu Mian mobilized government personnel at all levels and departments to conduct a census point by point through mass organizations such as Baozheng and Li Chang, and the difficulty of the survey was correspondingly reduced a lot, and the demographic work was carried out smoothly.

After unremitting publicity and efforts, the epidemic prevention work has finally been implemented.

The participation of the hungry people was quite cooperative, which made the plague prevention and control work much smoother.

Except for the occasional appearance of some dysentery patients, there has not been any mass epidemic in Yunnan so far, so Li Yi has been very satisfied, and a hanging heart has been temporarily relaxed.

It's just that there are still some difficulties in the supply of medicinal materials, such as burdock in 'Yinqiao Jiedu San', Zhimu in 'Qingwen Septic Drink', Xuanshen and other medicinal materials, Yunnan's inventory has long been exhausted, and the purchase of everywhere cannot reach the required quantity.

The old doctor Xuanyuan Shu also rushed to Ningzhou, regardless of the hardships of the long journey, immediately started to diagnose and treat some critically ill patients, and also trained a group of medical officers by hand, and left dozens of prescriptions with different therapeutic effects.

Because Li Yi had been busy with the affairs of the victims, he did not learn the news until Xuanyuan Shu was about to leave Ningzhou and return to Lingnan.

Li Yi hurriedly rushed to the inn where Xuanyuan Shu was staying to visit him and had a long talk with him.

Although Xuanyuan Shu had worked hard for many days, he still seemed to be in good spirits.

He praised Li Yi's governance philosophy, believing that he was not only the greatest hope of the people of Yunnan, but also the most promising pillar of the Han Dynasty in the future. Encourage Li Yi to care more about the people's weal and woe, and be a good official who does practical and good things for the people.

In response to Xuanyuan's beautiful words, Li Yi appropriately expressed his modesty and also highly respected his medical skills and medical ethics, hoping that he could stay for a while so that Yunnan's medical industry could have a rapid development.

But he thought of the people of the world and politely refused Li Yi's gracious retention.

The two of them cherished each other, and chatted until late at night, and then cherished each other and said goodbye.

When Xuanyuan Shu left Ningzhou, Li Yi was ready to present him with an appropriate amount of gold and silver clothes on behalf of the people of Yunnan, but he resolutely refused.

But this is also in Li Yi's expectation, a master like him who is an outsider, who is bent on thinking about the common people in the world, will not care about these things outside his body.

But this old man has been busy for so long, and the clothes on his body are already shabby, and after Li Yi's hard persuasion, he reluctantly accepted a green robe that seemed to be sewn by his own hands, and then floated away.

After sending off Xuanyuan Shu, Li Yi returned to his busy work.

The usual affairs in Yunnan are already very complicated, and with so many hungry people pouring into Yunnan, the workload has suddenly increased several times.

Although Li Yi's body is very strong, he can't withstand such endless tossing, let alone other people.

Officials in this era did not have a regular leave system at all, and could only arrange it flexibly according to the situation.

So after a busy month, when all this has stabilized, in order to improve work efficiency, but also to reduce the labor intensity of government personnel, so that their body and mind can get a proper rest.

Li Yi issued an order in due course, and from now on, all the staff members of the government at all levels will be divided into two shifts, one on duty and the other on rest according to the nature of their work.

Although it seems that the number of people has decreased, the work efficiency has greatly improved.

In addition, regardless of their position, all government deacons are given an additional month's salary and a corresponding rice allowance to increase their motivation to work.

With regard to the construction of Pingyang Pass, Li Yi also issued instructions, that is, no matter what major situation occurs in Yunnan, the construction of Pingyang Pass must be carried out as usual, and there can be no delay for a moment.

Therefore, Lin Qingliang and Lin Jin also led their craftsmen, working day and night, and made preliminary preparations for the upcoming construction of Pingyang Pass.

In addition, in order to permanently resettle the hungry people, Qian Shitang suggested that the abundant water resources of the Nanpan River and the large amount of idle land on both sides of the river should be used to reclaim wasteland and build villages and townships to solve the problems of the hungry people's livelihood in the future.

Li Yi was very interested in this suggestion, and after on-the-spot investigation, he finally made a decision to build at least 60 villages within a radius of more than 100 miles on both sides of the river, with the Nanpan River as the axis, and strive to permanently resettle more than 50,000 hungry people.

However, having said that, this resettlement project not only had to build permanent housing for the victims, but also provided a large number of farm tools and food and clothing.

You must know that the living expenses and epidemic prevention expenses of the hungry people alone have exhausted all the treasury money in Yunnan, and even the money donated from all sides is not much left, not to mention that the construction of Pingyang Pass and Pingyang Temple still occupies a lot of money.

Although there are still about 300,000 yuan left in the stolen money of the Sun thief, it is impossible to use that money indefinitely, after all, the cost of the normal operation of the government is not low.

Just when Li Yi was frowning, He Shoujie hurriedly came to the meeting hall and said with excitement on his face: "Marshal Qiqi, according to the news from the Baoshan Inspection Department and Shengjingguan, Ning Yuan Dao and Zhenxiong Dao have already transported 3,000 stone and 2,000 stone grain respectively after learning about our predicament in Yunnan, as well as some cloth, medicinal materials and other things. ”

"Now the people they sent have entered the territory of Yunnan, and it is estimated that they will soon reach Ningzhou. Let's send someone to meet us! ”

Hearing this great news, Li Yi was overjoyed.

Hehe! It's been a long drought! I didn't expect that in this era, if one side is in trouble, it will also receive support from all sides.

Although the two Han feudal towns, which are closest to Yunnan, have not had any contact with each other since their arrival, they selflessly extended a helping hand and sent aid materials in time when Yunnan was in the most difficult time, which he did not expect at all.

Listening to what Lin Yi said, Ning Yuandao's envoy is Wang Dingbao, who was born as a jinshi in the former Tang Zheng'er Eight Classics, not only rich in writings, very good at literature, but also quite familiar with military strategies, and made outstanding contributions to the founding of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, Li Yi knows him very well, he occupies an important position in the history of the Southern Han Dynasty, and has written a strong stroke in the history books.
