Chapter 244: Fake Death

Qizhou, Yongzhou, several prefectures and counties have caused hundreds of thousands of victims because of the river embankment burst. Forrest gump

Fortunately, the Qing Dynasty is not as good as in the past, the national strength is strong, the foreign enemy is calm, and the ministers of the DPRK and China can still concentrate on helping the victims, although the heavy rain is pouring down, bringing some trouble to the country, in the end it will not be the same as the Feng Dynasty, as long as there is a disaster, there will be displaced people, and there will be many rebels.

Relieving the victims of the disaster is an extremely important matter, Mu Yanxu naturally did not dare to delay, and simply sent the minister of the Qin Mission, and let Mu Yanzhao be fully responsible for all matters related to disaster relief.

The Qing Dynasty is now rich in treasury, and this year's flood-stricken areas are a little more extensive, but it is not out of control, Mu Yanzhao was busy for a few days, turning around the groups of capable people under his hands, rehousing the victims who lost their homes, allocating grain and grass, transporting medicinal materials, and sending out to supervise the imperial history to assist Qin Cha to pacify the displaced people.

Mu Yanzhao has achieved the most perfect level that manpower can do, and now he can also pray to God to open his eyes and let the rain pass as soon as possible.

The rainy day makes people's mood feel bored.

Gu Wan tidied up Mu Qi's coat, and brought him a pair of non-slip clogs, the lines under the clogs are very special, and he doesn't have to worry about wrestling when he walks on the slippery ground.

Mu Qi stretched out her hand and asked her daughter-in-law to tidy it up for herself, with a smile on her face: "The lady has worked hard." ”

Gu Wan raised her eyebrows: "What are so many words, go quickly." ”

She wanted to take out something like a raincoat and rain boots, but whether it was a plastic cloth or a waterproof and breathable fabric, it was really hard to say where it came from, even if Mu Qi was considerate, even if she found something wrong, she wouldn't ask, and Gu Wan couldn't guarantee that others wouldn't be curious?

After sending Mu Qi away, Gu Wan stayed at home with the children, reading, writing, and playing games with a group of little girls, but she couldn't go out in the rain anyway. I had to spend time at home.

At noon, Gu Wan had eaten, and was sitting crookedly on the couch to stay with her brother to talk, when Baosheng suddenly hurried into the door. He said in a low voice: "Master, I heard that the river is about to break, the capital is in chaos, many people outside the city are running to the city, the inns in Dayong City are full, and the cost of the house is rising several times a day, and Jingzhao is on the fold." Officials from the Ministry of Works have gone to overhaul the dam. ”

Gu Wan was stunned: "How is it possible?" The creek was only renovated last year. The rain is not very heavy......"

Although the rain period is long this time, the vicinity of Dayong is not like the states and counties outside, just a continuous drizzle, and there is no heavy rain, such rain, even if it falls for the first half of the month, the river can also withstand it. //.. If it's a dam somewhere else, it's possible to cut corners and so on. has become a 'tofu scum' project, but near Dayong, who dares to commit crimes against the wind?

There is an emperor living in Dayong City. If something goes wrong, it's worth it!

Gu Wan frowned, and asked Baosheng to continue to inquire about the news, she still has a lot of Zhuangzi fertile land next to the river, if the river breaks, the first disaster will be her property. It's not just her, because the riverside is full of fertile land, most of which belong to the powerful in the capital, and even the county lord Chen has 300 hectares of fertile land there. If it is really broken, it is impossible to flood the capital, but the loss is too great.

Gu Wan now only hopes that this is a rumor, but things are often unexpected, and within two days of receiving the news, the stream burst. The river swelled, and suddenly washed away countless houses on the bank, and also flooded thousands of hectares of fertile land, for a time, the whole capital was in an uproar, and the magnates who suffered heavy losses besieged the Ministry of Industry, making a fuss that the Ministry of Industry and others did not dare to go out.

Gu Wan also suffered heavy losses, but this is not the time to be held responsible, nearly 100 houses in her village were destroyed, she couldn't let this group of people fend for themselves, fortunately, as soon as she heard the news that the river might burst, believe it or not, just in case, she still ordered the villagers living outside the city to move to Feiyun Mountain as soon as possible, otherwise, it would not only be the loss of property.

Bao Sheng personally took the silver and grain on his own trip, and temporarily arranged for the villagers to be in other villages, and when the rain stopped and the rivers were not flooding, he would consider rebuilding his home.

Gu Wan's Zhuang Zhuang is still calm, not panicked like others, after all, the master is the princess, and a little silver is exposed in her fingers, which is enough for them to live, Gu Wan is generous on weekdays, their treatment is much better than others, every household has some surplus money, and when they leave home, they have already carried their valuable belongings with them, and now what they have lost is only the house and large pieces of furniture, which is a little distressed about the crops in the field.

As a farmer, you will always care most about your crops, even knowing that you will not go hungry without those foods.

On this day, the rain has not stopped, but the riots of the previous days have stopped, Mu Qi is not at home, Gu Wan has been in the house for half a month, and she is really a little bored, so she simply drove out to go shopping.

Dayong Street is not more lively than in the past, pedestrians are also in a hurry, small merchants and hawkers are gone, only a few restaurants are still open, and the inn is full.

Gu Wan looked out through the bamboo window and saw many people sitting on the ground in the streets and alleys, in slightly hidden places, and sleeping on the street with a bed, and there was a grass shed on top of their heads, which was good.

It's not that Jingzhao doesn't care, but there are too many people in the disaster, and they can't manage it at all, so they just turn a blind eye and wait until the heavy rain stops, these people don't need to be bombarded, they have to leave.

Gu Wan sighed, and couldn't help but think of a long, long time ago, she often saw such a scene: "In a blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and I almost forget what happened at that time!" ”

At that time, she was just a little girl, but now she is a mother.

Bao Sheng didn't know his master's sigh, so he took out a snack and held it to her to eat, Gu Wan just picked up a piece of snack and put it in her mouth, when she suddenly heard a cry not far away.

After a while, the driver suddenly stopped, and without paying attention for a while, Bao Sheng leaned forward and almost spilled the snack in his hand.

"What's going on?"

"Princess...... There's a cart transporting dead people ahead! "The coachman is obviously very embarrassed, and it is really unfortunate to encounter this kind of thing.

Bao Sheng also frowned: "Is there any other way to go?" ”

The coachman looked around and said in a low voice, "I can get around, but the road is relatively far, and it may take half an hour to reach the market." ”

"That's also around, we don't dare to have time, so as to save ourselves from running into dead people and attracting bad luck." Bao Sheng glanced at Gu Wan, and when he saw that his master was noncommittal, he said loudly.

It rained for such a long time, and there was a flood, it is easy to have an accident, especially there are many people who are really reluctant to go home, no matter how Jingzhao persuades, they just refuse to go, the flood hits, it is very sudden, they are swept into the river and killed, there are several in a day, there are many people who die, the government is worried about the epidemic, and does not let the spirit stop in the capital at all, all of them have to be transported out of the city, and they are placed in the specially opened Yizhuang.

At this time, most of the people who had an accident were poor people, and they were caught off guard for a while, and they almost didn't have time to buy a coffin or something, so they had to wrap it in straw mats first, and they could only be transported out of the city.

The same is clearly the case in front of us.

The coachman nodded, waved his whip, and turned his horse's head.

As soon as the carriage turned around, Gu Wan suddenly frowned, "Wait a minute." As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, pushed the car door, and jumped down, Baosheng was startled, and hurriedly caught up with Gu Wan to support her: "Princess, slow down, be careful of slippery roads." ”

The ground was full of stagnant water, and when Gu Wan touched the ground, the delicate and beautiful embroidered shoes were stained.

The guards who followed behind pretending to be pedestrians also paid a high degree of attention all of a sudden, made eye contact with each other, and faintly surrounded each other.

Gu Wan is ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
