Every time Lin Ruan arrived in a city or town, he would be welcomed by the people. Lin Ruan is definitely not a casual inspection, everywhere he goes, he personally walks among the people, looks at their needs on the spot, and then makes timely adjustments to materials and plans according to the actual situation.

Because of Lin Ruan's formation, with Wanning Mansion as the center and including the other three prefectures, all the work went very smoothly.

In the shortest possible time, the people dug out those who were crushed and buried, sent the injured to the hospital, and registered the dead so that their families could claim them back for burial.

All the people who were not injured were involved in the post-disaster resettlement work, setting up temporary shanty towns, clearing collapsed houses, transporting the wounded, and clearing buried roads......

Everything was in order.

A month later, when it was determined that the aftershocks were completely over, the first rebuilding work began.

Ancient wooden houses have the advantage of being more earthquake-resistant. There is nothing wrong with the main body of many houses, but the roof tiles are badly damaged.

In this case, it is only necessary to re-strengthen the house and cover it with a thatched roof to temporarily accommodate people.

After all, with such a large area of collapsed roofs, the brick kiln tile factory would not have time to produce such a huge quantity for a while. With thatched sheds, firstly, it can quickly allow people to move back, and secondly, the thatched grass is light, even if there is an aftershock, there is no need to worry about the roof collapse.

And the people also found that this year's thatch, growing very fast, particularly lush, obviously only in March, the thatch has grown tall, and as if poured oil, it can rise a lot overnight.

What surprised them even more was that the crops in the fields were growing exceptionally luxuriantly. The ears of wheat were drawn earlier than usual, and the ears of wheat were bigger and fuller than usual.

The people were amazed, saying that God blessed them in the Great Zhou, and they couldn't bear to see the people of the Great Zhou suffer, so these plants and trees would grow so well.

Lin Ruan, who hid his merits and fame, smiled faintly.

Yes, all this is really God's favor and blessing.

Three months later, the aftermath was completely over.

According to the statistics of all the casualties, the total population of the four prefectures, including Wanning Province, is more than 70 million, and the number of deaths on the day of the earthquake is more than 1,000, while in the process of subsequent treatment, the number of people who died of serious injuries was only more than 200.

This number shocked all the people.

Such a strong earthquake, and it happened in the middle of the night, this number of people is simply incredible.

It was only then that people remembered the warning they had received on the night of the earthquake, the birds that threw stones from the sky, and the sound that reminded them that the earth dragon had turned over.

There were people talking about this before, but at that time, everyone was busy rebuilding their homes, and it didn't go on a big scale.

But now that it's over, after everyone comes to their senses, they feel a little incredible. So there was a rumor among the people, saying that the Bodhisattva had manifested his spirit and sent the fairy under the seat to remind everyone.

Those who believed in the fairy's words survived well. And those who would not listen to persuasion lay down in the ground.

And Lin Ruan let people release a message at the right time, that is, why the imperial court built the granary reservoir dam before, it was because Master Jiyuan said that the Bodhisattva told him in a dream that there would be a disaster in the Great Zhou, and he must prepare early.

This information completely confirmed the rumor of the Bodhisattva's apparition.

Subsequently, a large number of people poured into the nearby temple to add incense and oil to the Bodhisattvas in the temple, and the monks in the temple were busy. In all the temples in Manning Province, incense has reached its heyday.

And Lin Ruan, after everything was taken care of, quietly left Wanning Mansion with someone and returned to Kyoto.

Back in Kyoto, Lin Ruan entered the palace as soon as possible.

The emperor was very happy to see her return, "Ah Ruan has made great contributions this time, how should I reward you?" ”

Lin Ruan said with a smile: "It is the duty of the sons and daughters to do something for the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty and share the worries of their father, how dare they ask for a reward." ”

"Reward, must be rewarded. This time, you are in charge of Wanning Mansion, which has saved me a lot of heart. ”

The emperor was in a very good mood during this time, and if the Wanning Mansion earthquake hadn't been prepared in advance, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Lin Ruan smiled faintly and said, "Father, the main credit for the reason why the Wanning Mansion ground movement can be solved so quickly this time is not due to the sons. ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then tell me, on whom?" ”

"Erchen heard a rumor when he was among the people."

"You're talking about the Bodhisattva's manifestation and sending a fairy to report this for the people?"

Lin Ruan nodded, "This ground movement happened in the middle of the night, if it weren't for the fact that the people had received the news in advance, I am afraid that the preparations we made before would not be enough to resist." ”

The emperor hesitated a little, "Ah Ruan also thinks that this is a bodhisattva manifestation?" ”

"Erchen asked people to inquire, and almost the entire Wanning Mansion received a reminder that he could do this in such a short period of time, and he could know so precisely when the earth movement would happen, except for the Bodhisattva's manifestation, Erchen couldn't think of any other possibilities."

"What's more, Erchen also learned about the heavenly machine from Master Jiyuan before, so he could prepare in advance, so Erchen also thinks that it is the spirit of God."

The emperor is a relatively superstitious person, especially very convinced of Master Jiyuan's ability, so after thinking about it, he really feels that there is no other possibility in this matter except for the manifestation of the Bodhisattva.

So the emperor made a decision to reshape the golden body of the Bodhisattva of Daxiangguo Temple.

As for Lin Ruan, the emperor naturally did not miss her reward. For the affairs of the imperial court, Lin Ruan has been busy outside for more than half a year.

Lin Ruan made a request at this time, "Father, I want to go to Northern Xinjiang." ”

She hadn't seen Xiao Jingchen for a long time, and she was really worried.

For most of the disaster relief outside, she was so busy that she didn't even have time to reply to him properly.

And in the next few months, in the letters Xiao Jingchen wrote to her, they all reported good news but not bad news, most of them because they felt sorry for her running around and didn't want her to be distracted.

The Emperor laughed, "As long as you're not afraid of running around and getting tired, then go ahead." It's been a long time since you and I haven't seen each other, and I'm a little upset. ”

Lin Ruan smiled and thanked him, and before leaving the palace, Lin Ruan reminded the emperor again, "Father, although the matter of the earth movement has been solved, Erchen still can't be careless, Master Jiyuan's expression when he spoke that day was very solemn, so Erchen is worried that there will be other troubles." ”

The emperor nodded, "I know in my heart, the grain you found before is enough for the people of Dazhou to eat and drink for a year, and last month, news of a bumper harvest came from all over the country, so I don't have to worry about the food problem." As for other natural disasters, I have asked local officials to strengthen their precautions and deal with problems in a timely manner, and the problems should not be too big. ”
