The corpse stepped on the ridge of the field, looked at the field where the corpse was displayed, and after a while, spoke in a low voice, saying:

"It's just a village, and so many people have died."

Chang Xi stood behind her, silent.

Another corpse was wrapped in rags and carried into the field, a small child. The child's grandmother and mother wept bitterly all the way into the field, and in the field, there were corpses in front of and on the left and right, but they forgot to be afraid, and sat down where the child had stopped, and cried so loudly that they could not breathe.

"They cried so sadly, but when the dead were reported to the court, it was just a number." Chenguang said.

"Yes." Chang Xi responded to her softly.

Chenguang was silent for a while, then turned around, jumped down from the ridge, and looked back, Huo Wu, Si Qi, Si Jiu, and Si Shi were passing through the ranks of the wounded and survivors, and walked straight towards Tian Lang.

Chenguang took a step forward, and Fire Dance and the others had already arrived in front of her.

"Your Highness." The four called.

"Is Zhao Countyling's wife okay?" Chenguang asked.

"Mrs. Zhao is fine, it's just that the eldest aunt of the Zhao family was killed when she went out of the emergency room, and it's gone, Mrs. Zhao rushed to see the eldest girl." Fire Dance replied.

Another tragic incident, Chenguang frowned, paused, and asked:

"The number of casualties can be calculated?"

"Not yet, there is a mess everywhere, and before I have time to report, Zhao County has already sent people to visit the villages. Before the slave and maid came, they went to the nearby villages to see it, and they all suffered. Zhao Xianling said that the disaster this time is probably rare, and it is very serious from the time the ground moves. Huo Wu said in a deep voice, paused, and continued, "Si Qi has already sent a letter to Si Ba, and when Si Ba replies to the letter, he will probably know the specific situation of this disaster." ”

Chenguang pondered for a long time and said:

"Let's go to Pingxing County first."

"I can't go now, the mountain road from Gaosong County to Pingxing County was blocked by boulders because of the earthquake, and it will take at least four or five days to dig it up.

Chenguang frowned, thought for a moment, and nodded.

It was only at midnight that I returned to Gaosong County, and the people in the county town were all moved to the empty streets for the night because of the continuous aftershocks, and the panic was difficult to reduce, and there were many complaints. In order to prevent unrest, all the officials of the county yamen went out to patrol the streets, shuttling back and forth among the victims, and the torches in their hands illuminated the small county town.

Half of the county yamen collapsed, and half of it was still usable.

The wife went to the eldest daughter's house alone, although the daughter was fine, but the eldest daughter was widowed, Zhao Zhixue's heart was very uncomfortable, but at this time he could only endure it, as a parent official, this earthquake brought him a lot of heavy work, and he had to deal with it as soon as possible.

After Chenguang returned to the county yamen, she didn't go to the front hall, but went directly back to the small courtyard where she lived before.

Soon, Zhao Zhixue came, and he drew up the detailed rules for disaster relief to invite Chenguang to take a look.

Morning light did not look.

"You are the parent official of Gaosong County, you decide how to provide disaster relief, you don't have to go through me. When I'm not here, you don't make your own decisions, you just do what you want when I'm not here. Chenguang said.

Zhao Zhixue responded, he was an obedient person, and after that, he really devoted himself to the busy disaster relief work, and never came to ask Chenguang's opinion again, but as soon as there was news about the disaster, he would immediately send someone to report it.

There was not enough manpower, and the mountain road was not dug in the expected four or five days, and before the mountain road was dug through, Si Ba replied to Chenguang.

Si Ba had already arrived in Pingxing County, which is the center of Changzhou, and the news of the disaster was more detailed.

This earthquake was really the largest natural disaster in South Vietnam since records began, affecting four states, of which Changzhou, where Gao Song County is located, was not the most severely affected, the most serious were Pengzhou and Youzhou, the death toll was huge, and even the city walls collapsed.

Because of the sudden natural disasters and the delay in disaster relief due to the lack of money and food in various places after the natural disasters, the people's grievances have turned into people's anger in many places.

At this time, there were many bad voices suddenly, the most serious of which was a rumor that suddenly spread and spread widely, which said that the reason why such a serious natural disaster occurred in South Vietnam was because the Phoenix Lord killed the two emperors of Beiyue and Nanyue, and went against the sky, causing the heavens to punish the earth.

Chenguang looked at the long letter sent by Siba, and was a little upset, so he burned the letter paper on the oil lamp and slowly lay back on the couch.

She wasn't worried about being angry and scolded by the whole people, she was just thinking that if she couldn't invest a lot of money in disaster relief, she wouldn't be able to really comfort the victims. When people are helpless and desperate with food and clothing, they can do anything crazy, not necessarily their true intentions, maybe just because of a moment of anger, but this moment of anger may lead a person on a path of no return. It is not terrible for a person to be angry for a while, but it is terrible for a group of people to be angry for a while. Once the number of people who are angry for a moment multiplies, there will inevitably be riots among the people of Fengming, who already have all kinds of contradictions and discord.

It is impossible not to have a chaotic party that is hostile to the imperial court, even if Chenguang has not seen it with her own eyes, she knows that there must be, when the Feng Ming Kingdom is in chaos due to natural disasters, this is a good time for those chaotic parties to collect people's heads.

Knowing that such a situation would happen in the future, if this situation was allowed to happen but not stopped, it would be creating a stumbling block for Feng Mingguo, Chenguang didn't want to obviously have expected it, but because of his incompetence, he had to watch those chaos happen.

There is only one way to appease the people who are in the pain of disaster, and that is to invest a lot of money and let them return to the former stable days as soon as possible.

But the reality is very cruel, Chenguang has no money.

The treasury of the Fengying Kingdom is empty, and the grain depot is short of food, because it is almost all used up during the war.

So this natural disaster came at an inopportune time, and when the post-war reconstruction was not half completed, such a serious natural disaster occurred, Chenguang thought to herself, she was simply the first luck in the world.

She frowned, and then she folded her fingers and began to count the silver in the treasury, although she had a bad memory, but she remembered the silver in the treasury very well, because it was the foundation of her life. She hates arithmetic the most, adding and subtracting, but she is very energetic in calculating silver, because what she lacks most is silver.

She counted and counted, and counted, and no matter how she counted and how she counted, the silver was just not enough.
