Chapter 50: Disaster Relief
Early the next morning, Xu Ang was woken up by Qi Niang early in the morning, and had breakfast with Qi Niang, Chen Liang and Mu Caiyun.
Yesterday, Li Hui left a letter to tell Xu Ang to go over, Xu Ang nodded and told everyone, then hastily finished eating and preparing to go. The first time I passed, the official uniform and official sedan chair had to be prepared, so it was Xu Ang who took the longest time to prepare, and when Xu Ang went out and sat on the sedan chair, everyone set off.
However, Shen Li was anxious, and he spoke in front first, Mu Caiyun was behind, and Xu Ang's sedan chair was at the end.
Xu Ang lifted the curtain and looked, Chen Liang stared at Mu Caiyun in front of him and said to Xu Ang
"Brother Ang! I didn't find it yesterday, but when I look at this Master Mu today, there is a deer in my heart that keeps bumping! ”
Mu Caiyun was wearing a woman's dress today, holding a sword in her hand, but she didn't see the water bladder, riding on a horse in white clothes fluttering, plus she was born beautiful, looking forward to her brilliance, Xu Ang was also stunned. Wiping his saliva, he said
"Brother Liang! It's a big deal! ”
"What's wrong?" Chen Liang asked
"The deer in my heart is also bumping!" Xu Ang said shyly
"Hahahaha!" The two laughed in unison
In the north of the county office, the lower flow of the river, along the river is to facilitate the people to get water, if it is upstream, some of the things that the victims do not use are unhygienic, if they are thrown upstream, the people in the city will suffer, and this is very scientific.
Xu Ang also wanted to ride over, this sedan chair was too slow, but where the rules of the court were, it was inconvenient to cross, more than ten miles, walked for almost two hours, and at noon I saw a large residential area in front of me. Xu Ang lifted the curtain, but saw that Chen Liang was still holding his chest and looking at Mu Caiyun in front of him
"Brother Liang! You fawn is full of energy, congratulations! Xu Ang teased
Chen Liang blushed and nodded embarrassedly, and couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Xu Ang's calm face
"Brother Ang! Why can you be so calm? Teach the little brother? ”
Xu Ang sneered and said
"My little deer has already been killed by the collision."
Chen Liang was suddenly surprised, this official aura is different, the deer is killed and he is still so calm, admire and admire!
Shen Li had already informed Li Hui of the news of Xu Ang's arrival, and the official sedan chair had not yet arrived, and Li Hui and the others greeted him.
"O county magistrate! I've finally waited for you, so I'll show you around first. ”
The sedan chair man put down the sedan chair, and Xu Ang walked down, he was a little surprised, the county Cheng Li Hui was only a person in his forties, and now it seems that there are more than fifty people, and there are still some gray hairs on his head. must have suffered a lot. Then he stepped forward and said
"Li Xiancheng has worked hard! I arrived in Xishui County for three days, and I came here today, I'm really ashamed! “
"There! There! When the county magistrate first arrived at the county office, there were many things to be familiar with, and the lower officials also understood, the current situation here is fine, and the victims have been arranged, but some things still need to be decided by the county magistrate, so I left a letter to tell the county magistrate to come. Let's walk around for a moment. ”
The two looked around as they spoke, these two people had the biggest official positions in Xishui County, and the rest of the people followed behind the two without speaking.
Xu Ang didn't know if he didn't see it, but he was shocked when he saw it, and saw that this resettlement camp for the victims was very huge! A simple shed was built, many people lived in the middle, many people were lying there motionless, presumably to save physical strength, but did not see people die, it was summer, the weather was hot, the sanitary conditions of the camp were not good, all kinds of mosquitoes and flies flew around, if there was an infectious disease, the consequences were really unimaginable, although Xu Ang did not understand medical skills, this basic health common sense did know, all the way down, the more I looked at it, the more frightened I became.
"County magistrate! In front of it is a porridge shed for the relief of the victims. Li Hui pointed to the shed in front of him and said
Xu Ang looked up, only to see that there was a huge open space, many sheds were built, hanging all kinds of banners, what Zhao family restaurant soup kitchen, Li Yuanwai soup kitchen shed hung there, the largest of which is the soup kitchen shed of the king of Qi, there are more than twenty, where is a row is spectacular, there is no way to compare with other families, it must be the good people of each family who came here to relieve the disaster, this King Qi is a good person, Xu Ang thought to himself.
At this time, it was almost time for dinner, and there were many people standing there waiting, but the camp was guarded by guards, so that the law and order would not be chaotic. Xu Ang also looked a little comforted, he didn't expect this famine to be so serious, he had lived in a peaceful and prosperous world before.
"Now that it's time for dinner, let's have a meal together." Xu Ang said and walked towards the soup kitchen.
At this time, the soup kitchen had not yet begun, and the shed was ready, and the leaders of Xu Ang and his entourage had a cordial and friendly conversation with the soup kitchen staff, and made a public speech to the victims, saying that everyone was fortunate and not easy. Before this natural disaster, we must work together to suffer together! Under the wise leadership of the emperor, we will surely be able to overcome the current difficulties. Saying that, the group also drank porridge with the victims and chatted about family life, which was really a scene of the government and the people being a family.
Xu Ang's generous and passionate speech was unanimously recognized by everyone, and there was applause in the soup kitchen, and many victims also shed tears of emotion, and then squeezed Xu Ang aside with tears to receive the porridge, and now he is just hungry to tears, and he will starve to death when he listens to this speech, and he doesn't know where this official uniform is running out, and he talks crookedly for a long time, and his tears are hungry.
Seeing that everyone went to receive porridge enthusiastically, Xu Ang sighed, this working people are still as simple and enthusiastic as ever!
The group returned to the side shed, which was where the county office rested
"Li Hui! How many refugees are there in this camp? Xu Ang asked, looking at the huge camp
"Back to the county magistrate, there are about 50,000 people at present, and seventy percent of them are old and young, women and children!" Li Hui replied
Xu Ang was taken aback, "I haven't seen refugees in other places after coming to Xishui County for so long, and there are no refugees in Shanyuan County!" Why are there so many here?! ”
Li Hui sorted out his thoughts and replied
"The county magistrate doesn't know that although my Xishui County belongs to Shandong, in fact, if it is divided according to the Slender Water River, it belongs to Henan. It was only because the land was rich that Shandong refused to return to Henan. In order to prevent the crossing of the river from causing public security problems in Shandong, the county office will resettle in Xishui County, so we have more victims here. ”
