Chapter 142: I Am the Great Dusk King (24)
Sheng Linchuan screamed in a heart-rending scream: "Sheng Yi'an, you slut!" You think that's the end ......"
The sound faded into thin air as she was dragged away.
Zhang Guangyu and Sheng Linchuan were both looked at, and today in the courtyard, anyone who was not under Qin Changyin's subordinates was left behind.
Now it is not appropriate to spread the news of Zhang Guangyu's accident, and the officials of Fujian all regard Zhang Guangyu as the head of the horse, and naturally it will become a branch of Sheng Linchuan.
If the news of Zhang Guangyu's accident spreads now, it will not be good if those officials come to a fish and the net is broken.
At least now is not the time, after all, the most important thing right now is disaster relief and prevention of the plague.
In the following days, all the relief food brought by the seven generals was distributed to various prefectures and counties, and soup kitchens were set up in various places where the victims gathered, and the officers and soldiers maintained order.
All states and counties were ordered to strictly supervise the casualties, but if a victim died, he must be buried within six hours.
She also issued an edict to exempt several hard-hit areas in Fujian from forced labor, and according to the per capita statistics, each person could receive two coins of silver.
In all dynasties, whenever there was a major natural disaster, it was the norm to allocate grain for disaster relief, and the exemption from forced labor also occurred occasionally, but the post-disaster resettlement allowance could be received according to the per person, which was the first case.
Within a month, Emperor Zhaoning's prestige among the people of Fujian rose a lot.
These days, she barely rested, going to the levee every day to investigate the danger and personally going to the disaster gathering place to reassure the people.
When many victims saw the seven of them, they only thought that the wives of a large family were kind-hearted.
"Madame, can you take my brother back? When a cow is a horse, you can do anything, as long as you give him a bite to eat. ”
As he shuttled among the victims, he suddenly grabbed the hem of his skirt by a dirty little hand.
She looked down and saw a skinny little girl holding a five or six-year-old boy, the little boy was ignorant, holding his sister's hand and shouting hunger, and a pair of big eyes looked particularly bright on his dirty face.
Ying Qi felt uncomfortable for a while, and she motioned to the attendant beside her to go to the porridge shed and bring a bowl of porridge.
The attendant moved quickly, and in a blink of an eye, he came over with a bowl of hot porridge.
Qin Changyin pulled her sleeve, and when Ying Qi saw this, he walked aside with him.
"Women and children are powerless, for fear that the resettlement money they have allocated will either be spent or robbed."
Ying Qi's eyebrows frowned, and he nodded solemnly: "That's true, the weak eat the strong, even if I have ordered the servants to be strictly guarded near the porridge shed, but in the end it will cure the symptoms but not the root cause." ”
"Your Majesty has ever thought that if you allocate food for disaster relief, there are many people in the disaster, and the food and salary are limited, so you can only manage the work and not be full, and if it goes on like this, something will happen sooner or later."
Qin Changyin sighed lightly, his eyes staring at her.
This gave Ying Qi an idea, sitting and eating sooner or later, she has been feeding these victims, the people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, in case these victims finally develop a natural mentality, wouldn't it be counterproductive?
"You're right." Maki gently stroked the ring with his fingertips, thoughtful.
In addition to the difficulty of relocating the victims, the rivers in Fujian have long been much higher than the roofs, which is also the cause of the flooding.
"It's another big project to reroute the canals...... she muttered in a low voice.
Suddenly, she raised her eyes to look at Qin Changyin, and her eyes were full of bright light, shining in this gray disaster area.
Seeing her looking at herself like this, Qin Changyin knew that she must have thought of a good way.
Then he asked with a smile: "Thought of it?" ”
"Cash-for-work!" The eyebrows of the seven eyebrows rose, and the excitement in his eyes was difficult to hide, "Fujian's river must be dug deep from the bottom, and the river must be diverted, this is another big project, I can't support so many victims, it is better to let them support themselves and build canals in exchange for food." ”
"What about the woman and the child? Are they not able to participate in the canal repair? Qin Changyin put forward a key link.
Ying Qiyan smiled: "All children under the age of twelve can continue to enjoy relief, and as for women, they can participate in logistics services. ”
Naturally, the victims who participated in the construction of the canal had to eat, and letting the women ensure the logistics could solve the problem that the women could not repair the canal, and save labor, killing two birds with one stone.
"How do you prove that a child is under the age of twelve?"
"Before the decree of cash-for-work is issued, let all prefectures and counties count the household registration of the victims overnight."
"If there are elderly, weak, sick and disabled, how should they deal with them?"
"For the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, the states and counties provide assistance, but they must be diagnosed by a doctor." Ying Qi smiled brightly, and his eyes were full of confidence.
Qin Changyin smiled slightly, all the doubts he raised were resolved by her one by one, this method is feasible.
As soon as he thought of the method of cash-for-work, he immediately ordered all prefectures and counties to count the household registration of the victims overnight, and said that they must rely on their household registration to receive relief in the future.
Immediately after that, the seven promulgated the decree of cash-for-work.
The strong laborers were ordered to build canals on the rivers, the women to work in the back-office, and the children to be rescued by the government.
For a while, the hearts of the people in Fujian gradually stabilized, and the people brought by Qin Changyin were placed in various states and counties, monitoring the disaster relief situation in each state and county, and whether there was any abnormality.
Gradually, Fujian, which was starving everywhere and full of corpses, gradually regained its vitality, and everything developed towards a thriving situation.
At this time, the people of Fujian no longer remember that there was an eldest princess of Jiayang.
After Ying Qi didn't have to explore the disaster day and day, she worked hard day and night, approving the folds submitted by various states and counties, and in two months, she lost a lot of weight.
Qin Changyin saw it, and she was distressed, but on the contrary, she didn't worry about these folds, and she still had to bow down to others.
Just when everything was going on in order, something went wrong.
The people under Qin Changyin came to report that a small town called Anli in Fujian suddenly died inexplicably.
They were all young and strong young people, before they died, their common symptom was fever, the flood failed to crush them, and they did not expect that typhoid fever after escaping death would kill them.
At first, when one or two people died, no one took it too seriously, but more than a dozen people died in a row, and the symptoms were the same, all of them were fever, and at this time, people were panicked.
Later, the local county magistrate of Anli found a doctor to check, but he didn't expect to be diagnosed with the plague.
The county order was also stupid, and he didn't even think about suppressing the news and reporting it, waiting for the decision from above, and then dealing with it.
But in an hour, the whole of Anli spread, and after the flood, some people still contracted the plague.
When the news reached the ears of Ju Qi, it had already been three days.
The pen in her hand slipped suddenly, how could she prevent it, this deadly plague is still coming!
Her teeth bit her lower lip tightly, it had been two months, and if there was a plague, it would have come a long time ago, what went wrong....
