Chapter 409: Visiting the Victims

"Those two cities, there is such a disaster, the people are struggling to make a living, if I go, they can feel more at ease."

Chen Mu sighed and patted Meng Qing's shoulder, and Meng Qing silently responded when she heard this.

After explaining the matter again, Chen Mu handed over the important political affairs to his confidants.

Early the next morning, he rushed in the direction of the two cities with his men, and when he left the city, Chen Mu caught a glimpse of hundreds of people gathered at the city gate.

He was a little surprised, lifted the curtain to check the situation outside the car, and when his henchman saw him like this, he immediately pressed his hand and said with some nervousness.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, hundreds of people have gathered here, most of them want to give it to you, if there are people with ill intentions hidden among these people."

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment when he heard his henchman say this, and then frowned, he shook his head quietly, waved the henchman's hand away, and lifted the curtain firmly.

Outside the car curtain, hundreds of people were tiptoeing and watching, and when they saw Chen Mu and people rushing in the direction of the city gate, those people immediately burst out.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is a long way to go, you have to pay attention to protect yourself!"

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, we will wait for you to come back!"

Hearing the voices of those people, Chen Mu nodded quietly, he sighed lightly, and waved his hand to the people outside the carriage.

Those people saw that Chen Mu actually responded to their words, and they were even more excited and burst into tears.

The carriage left the city and set foot on the official road.

The people also stayed in the city, Chen Mu turned his head to look in the direction of the capital, retracted his gaze, and then frowned again.

This time, he sent someone to send the disaster relief money to those two cities in advance, and he was about to go south to find out about the disaster that broke out in those two cities, and most of it had already reached the ears of the county guards and county commanders of those two cities.

Those people should not dare to be greedy for disaster relief silver, and with him in front, the disaster that broke out in those two cities should be quickly calmed down.

It's just that the bodies of those people who were buried in the dirt wanted to be dug up and disposed of properly, but it was not so easy.

After all, it is still raining heavily, and if the bodies of those people buried in the soil decompose in the next few days, and even induce a plague, things will not be easy.

Chen Mu thought about it for a while, and then gave two orders to his subordinates, preparing to let people send news later, and mobilize the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital in the city to go to the city.

The carriage hurried through many cities, and soon reached a small town not far from them.

The town has gathered a lot of victims, and the county magistrate of the town has also sent people to deal with those victims and collect them in the city, and he has learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to come to the two cities where the disaster broke out with the edict issued by the capital.

He also knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was bound to pass by this town, so he did not dare to slack off, for fear that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would come down and see that those victims were not cured, and he would be punished for his crimes.

Chen Mu took a carriage to this city, and saw that the lives of the people in the city were not affected by the two cities where the disaster broke out, and finally relieved himself a little.

"I just sent someone to investigate, and those victims were ordered by the county to be collected in the broken temple in the west of the city and the grass houses built around the broken temple."

"Although the environment of the ruined temple and the thatched house is not too good, it is better than letting them eat and sleep in the open, this county order has nothing to do to know about the two cities in the future, His Royal Highness the Prince, so he will conscientiously take care of everything."

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, I can take you to the place where the victims are staying later."

After inquiring about the situation, a henchman hurried back to the inn and said to Chen Mu.

Chen Mu listened to what the henchman said, and nodded with satisfaction, although he was forced to take care of everything because of his own deterrence, but no matter what, those people had been properly settled.

Chen Mu thought about it for a while, and before going to the thatched huts and broken temples where the victims were resettled, he first took people to the county office.

Since you have already arrived, and you are not covering up your tracks, you can directly meet with the county magistrate and ask about the situation of cleaning up the victims.

When he arrived at the county office, Chen Mu confessed his identity, and the county order immediately explained to Chen Mu carefully the situation of the victims.

"There are a lot of people who have escaped from those two towns, some of them have come to my town, and some of them have gone to other towns to settle down."

"The county officials in our small towns don't dare to coat and treat those people, and they will also deliver porridge or dry food at three meals a day, so that they can be full."

"But His Royal Highness the Prince, the scale of our small towns is not large, and the official silver available in the town is also limited, and most of the disaster relief money you allocated has left those two cities that broke out in the disaster, and our small towns ......"

When the county magistrate said this, he sighed in embarrassment, Chen Mu saw his appearance and understood what he meant, this was indeed his carelessness, and he did not take into account the resettlement of the victims.

He immediately glanced at his subordinates, and someone hurriedly retreated, ready to send news to the capital and ask the officials in the capital to allocate money, and the county commander was a little relieved to see Chen Mu so neat.

He also talked to Chen Mu about the resettlement of the victims, Chen Mu proposed to go to the dilapidated temples and thatched huts where the victims were resettled, and the county order did not dare to delay, and immediately arranged a carriage to take Chen Mu and others to the west of the city.

The thatched huts used to house the victims were built very simply, but there was a shelter from the rain, which was considered the luck of the victims.

After all, when such disasters broke out in previous years, those people were displaced, and most of the time, they couldn't even live in such a sheltered grass hut.

The victims gathered in small huts, looking up at the sky, or muttering something in one place.

As soon as Chen Mu and the county order arrived, although those victims did not recognize Chen Mu, they recognized the county order, and they immediately stood up, rushed up, and walked in front of the county order.

The county commander was afraid that these victims would collide with Chen Mu, so he immediately took a few steps back and asked the officials to block those victims, and Chen Mu listened to what those victims said.

"Lord Prefectural Order, we just listened...... I just heard from other victims who rushed to this thatched hut that there was a new problem in the two towns where the disaster broke out, and there was a ...... Some villagers have a strange disease! I don't know if it's a plague! ”

There are people who have just fled to the resettlement center for the victims of the disaster, and the news is known, and the future of the prefectural ordinance will learn of the news.

When he heard the people say this, his face immediately changed, and he hurriedly took a few steps back to protect Chen Mu, for fear that some of these victims would also have the plague.

Chen Mu frowned when he saw the county order like this, he glanced at the victim and spoke.

"Where is the victim who said this, call him out, I will ask him carefully."

According to the time reckoning, it is indeed very easy for the plague to break out at this time, and perhaps it is indeed as the plague people say.
