Chapter 558: Ruins
More and more people rushed over and knelt down for Yu Jin, regardless of the dirt on the ground.
At this moment, their gratitude to Yu Jin can no longer be described in words, only they keep kowtowing their hair to vent their tense emotions to the extreme.
They didn't even stumble on the depression, but the fate of surviving by choosing a thought.
Especially those who see their familiar town in ruins, they feel more and more how lucky they are to be alive.
"Lord Wang, what should I do now?" Li Zheng has admired Yu Jin so much that he is willing to listen to his words.
"How many people are back in town?"
"Those who have men in the family going back, or brothers and uncles going back, have to make a fuss to go back, but they are stopped by the little old man."
Yu Jin nodded: "Li Zheng is doing a good job." Generally speaking, there may be several aftershocks after a ground movement, and it is not yet dawn, so it is not only useless to go back, but also dangerous. β
Li Zheng wiped a handful of sweat and shouted: "Have you listened to what the prince said, don't think about running to the town before dawn!" Before, the prince said that there was a movement in the ground, and he persuaded and gave out money, but there were still people who wanted to go back. How about now? This time, you must listen to the prince! β
"We listen to the ...... of the prince," the people of the town shouted, some with fear, some with crying.
The countryside was pitch black, with only a few torches illuminating the surroundings, and they could barely see each other.
Yu Jin didn't look at those people much, and said to Li Zheng: "You guys should rest first, there are still many things to do when the day dawns." β
"Then the princeβ"
"We'll go back first, and we'll bring someone over when it's dawn."
Li Zheng diligently sent Yu Jin and the others out of the distance: "It's dark and the road is slippery, the prince is easy to go." β
This time it was sent from the bottom of my heart.
"Li Zheng Mo sent it."
Yu Jin waved his hand and left with Zhao Shilang and the others.
The people who returned to Wuji Town did not go to sleep, but gathered together to discuss.
"There has really been a ground movement in Koi Town, so that the money promised by the prince to the people of the town has been settled...... "An official of the household department didn't know whether to sigh or breathe a sigh of relief.
The household department is in charge of the disaster relief money, although there is Yan Wang's words first, but when he returns to the capital, if Yan Wang does not admit it, the final deficit will still fall on their household heads, and then they will want to cry without tears.
When there is a ground movement, it is different. The imperial court already had a silver subsidy for the people after the disaster, and sometimes even subsidized silk silk.
"Is this the time to think about this?" Zhao Shilang glared and scolded the lower official, but his mood was even more complicated than that of his subordinates.
If nothing had happened in Koi Town, their toss would have become a joke, and scolding would have reached the ears of the emperor, and now-
Thinking about it, Li Zheng said that Koi Town was in ruins, and Koi Town, which has a population of more than 1,000, survived nine times out of ten, this political achievement is too amazing......
Zhao Shilang was a little difficult to think about it again.
After all, there are still casualties in the ground movement, and it should not be a cause for joy.
Seeing that the crowd gathered together to discuss excitedly didn't know how long it would be to discuss, Yu Jin, who didn't have much experience in post-disaster reconstruction, got up: "Ladies and gentlemen, discuss slowly, Xiao Wang will close his eyes first." β
As soon as Yu Jin left, everyone looked at each other, and I don't know who said: "Otherwise, let's disperse, disaster relief will always wait until we see the disaster situation in Koi Town." β
"Well, let's disperse."
Unconsciously, without the existence of Yu Jin, these discussions are a little invigorating.
Zhao Shilang, who returned to the room, lay on the uncomfortable bed and turned over a few times, not sleepy for a while, and looked out the window.
The windows were open, and the outside was dark.
There is a ground movement in Koi Town, so the miracle of King Yan having a god and a man dreaming to warn is about to spread to the world......
Zhao Shilang's expression was complicated, he didn't know what he was thinking, and finally fell asleep slowly.
Before dawn the next day, everyone hurriedly got up and brought in soldiers to prepare to rush to Koi Town for relief.
The prince's first reaction was to refuse.
Disaster relief is hard and dangerous, so he doesn't want to join in the fun.
Or the chamberlain persuaded: "Your Highness, now that the earth movement has just happened, it is easy for those people to thank you for your benevolence, if you don't go, wouldn't it be cheaper for King Yan?" β
The prince hesitated.
There is some truth in the words of the waiter, he went out, of course, he also wanted to have a good reputation, but he felt that a good reputation was not as important as the safety of his life.
If there is no danger -
The chamberlain seemed to anticipate what the prince was worried about, and whispered: "Your Highness, isn't that dog of King Yan able to predict danger?" With that dog here, once there is danger, we can detect it in advance, and then we can leave. β
The prince was persuaded and said unhappily: "What dog? That's Erniu, a five-grade official who is upright, and he is no worse than you. β
The chamberlain twitched the corners of his mouth silently.
His Royal Highness hasn't gotten the second cow yet, so he will maintain it first.
As a person who has accompanied the prince for more than 20 years, the chamberlain naturally knows that the prince has already thought about Erniu.
The prince no longer paid attention to the chamberlain, and walked to Yu Jin: "Seventh brother, the two cows will go together today, right?" β
Yu Jin's gaze fell on the prince's face, and he nodded slightly: "I will go." β
The prince smiled: "Then I'll go too." β
Yu Jin: "......"
The word "also" used very well by the prince.
Together with the prince, a group of people rushed to the foothold of the people of Koi Town, and rushed to Koi Town with the townspeople.
It only takes a quarter of an hour to get to Koi Town, and if you are in a hurry, you can speed up and take even shorter.
When they arrived, there was silence.
In the morning light, everything is far clearer and more shocking than at night.
The bustling town was in ruins, with barely standing houses as far as the eye could see, and the air was filled with a faint smell of mud and blood.
The people of Koi Town, led by Li Zheng, knelt down and wept bitterly.
There was absolutely no way they could control their grief.
There are more than 100 people who choose to return to the town, and some of them are related to their families. Even if no relatives died in the movement, the destruction of the homeland was enough to make a six-foot man weep bitterly.
This is where they have lived for generations, but now it is a purgatory on earth.
In the divided procession, the people began to enter the town in search of survivors.
The soldiers who entered Koi Town searched methodically because of their experience in rescuing Qianhe County. Compared with the calmness of the soldiers, the people of Koi Town are much more vulnerable, especially when they see the broken corpses in the ruins, they can't help but break down and cry bitterly.
The prince was bored waiting at the edge of the town, and said to Yu Jin: "Seventh brother, I'll go to the place where these people are temporarily staying and have a look." β
"Second brother, let's go."
The prince glanced at Erniu: "Can you put Erniu-"
Before he finished speaking, he received a white eye thrown by Erniu, and the big dog shook his fur and ran towards a ruin.
