The snow was deep, the road was difficult, and every step was quite difficult.

Fortunately, Xujiazhuang is not far from the county seat, just a dozen miles, no matter how slow the speed is, two hours have arrived.

"Master Xu, please save the victims!"

In Xujiazhuang, when they saw Xu Yuan, Qian Chengzhi and Sun Lin took a deep look and pleaded.

Listen to them talk about the situation in the county.

Xu Yuan was quite surprised, because those who live in the city are generally families with better economic conditions, and the quality of the houses will be much better, and the damage will not be particularly serious, as a result, hundreds of houses have collapsed, and thousands of people have been affected.

There are hundreds of villages and towns in the vicinity of the 11 collective estates in Xujiazhuang, and the collapsed houses are about the same as the number of people affected by the disaster, but as soon as they move to the refugee shelter in Xujiazhuang, the victims are resettled, and most of them are now in stable mood, and the injured have also been helped by medical personnel.

It can only be said that those officials and gentry in the county town have never had the awareness of disaster prevention and relief, and only care about chanting poems every day, and at most worrying about the country and the people in their poems, so as to reflect their conscience, and there are almost no practical actions.

It can be called poetry disaster relief, which is similar to some charity evenings in modern society.

Even the first family of Xinghua like the Li family is not incapable of disaster relief, it's not that they don't want to save the victims, but they don't dare to be the first bird, they don't dare to be a very small number of good people, they can't bear the price of being a good person, and they must donate money together with the big families in the city.

"Mizhi, all the fifteen sled tractors in the village are transferred by you, bring a batch of food, canned food, fuel and clothing, and go to the county town to relieve the disaster, no matter how many victims, it is best to save them all and temporarily resettle them in the shelter."

Xu Yuan asked Fang Yizhi to come over and handed over the task of disaster relief to him.

"Yes, I'll go right away!" Fang Yizhi nodded and immediately took action.

"I'm going with Brother Secret." Qian Chengzhi followed.

Sun Lin naturally will not be left behind, and he must take a hand with the past.

……

The disaster relief team sent by Xujiazhuang soon arrived at the county seat, but was blocked by the city gate guards at the city gate, that is, the personnel of Xujiazhuang were not allowed to enter the city.

Then there was the clearing of a field and the money to recruit some people.

Several large iron pots were erected, and wood was burning underneath, some were boiling ginger soup, some were cooking porridge, and some were really hungry and couldn't stand it, so they handed down biscuits and canned food to fill their stomachs immediately.

The most important thing is to keep warm from the cold, so thick cotton jackets were distributed one by one, children and the elderly were given priority to be taken to the fire to keep warm, and some injured people were quickly treated and treated.

After the initial assistance, the victims who had no shelter were transported to the refugee shelter by sled tractor in batches, and officially settled down.

I was busy until midnight.

Of the nearly 1,000 victims, 818 of whom died of cold and starvation, were properly resettled and survived.

This whole disaster relief process.

Not only the other disaster relief team members, but also Fang Yizhi, Qian Chengzhi, and Sun Lin, who were mainly responsible for command and dispatch, were also about to be paralyzed, their voices were hoarse, and they were all tired enough.

But it was Qian Chengzhi who felt the deepest, he saw the gap between reality and ideals for the first time, and began to reflect for the first time: For such a cruel world, can sage principles and moral articles really work?

If these work, why did the Xujiazhuang disaster relief team enter the city, the big households in the city still have no action, they are not even willing to give some manpower to help, borrow some materials, and pay for the purchase and the price has risen sharply, where is their conscience?

Of course, Li Qing, a celebrity, still had a heart to save the victims, and he also personally participated in the disaster relief operation, but after a while, his uncle Li Changfu came over and directly pulled Li Qing away and asked him not to get involved.

"Why can't you help the people in need?" Li Qing felt incomprehensible.

"Xu Jiazhuang has ill intentions and invites people to buy people's hearts, which will become a big disaster in the future! Once it is involved with Xujiazhuang, it will bring disaster to the Li family in the future! ”

"This ......"

Li Qing still didn't understand, but he was still forcibly pulled away by his uncle.

Qian Chengzhi, who was standing next to him and saw this scene, also felt a chill, and some traditional concepts in his mind were seriously shaken.

That's right, many of Xujiazhuang's practices are suspected of inviting people to buy people's hearts, and they may indeed have ill-intentioned intentions, but these nearly 1,000 victims, Xujiazhuang is really giving people money and goods, and saving them with all his might, is indeed practicing the concept of 'taking people as a treasure', as long as it can save people, it doesn't matter how much it costs.

But for an elder like Li Changshi, who has read the books of sages and sages, what are ordinary people in his eyes? Is it an unbearable burden? Or is it water that plays the role of a boat? Or has it risen to the height of Xujiazhuang's people-oriented treasure?

Obviously, in his eyes, the disaster victims are unbearable burdens, and they can either let those who have the ability to save them together, or they don't save any of them, and there is no other option.

Now that Xu Jiazhuang has helped, these victims have immediately become unfortunate things, let alone rescue, they can't happen if they can be involved too much, as if they are potential rioters, once Xu Jiazhuang leads them to make trouble, it will definitely affect the interests of the Li family.

At this moment, the interests of the family in the country and the world are extremely important, not only attach great importance to it, but even faintly begin to be hostile to these victims.

You must know that the sage also said that no matter the heart, no one is perfect in the heart, this Xu Jiazhuang did not start to do great rebellious things, and became the enemy in the eyes of these gentry, no matter what good things Xu Jiazhuang does, it is a boycott and negative attitude, not blushing and ashamed, is this really appropriate?

may be very suitable for people like Li Changshi, but Qian Chengzhi is still very young, and ordinary people still belong to the category of 'people' in his eyes, so he feels very awkward and a little unacceptable.

And after saving these victims one by one, seeing them either kneeling and kowtowing, or thanking him again and again, or willing to repay him for slaves and maids, this grateful face gave Qian Cheng a strength and strengthened his inner belief: It is right to save these people, and it is 100% right.

Although he did not fully recognize Xujiazhuang's concept of 'people-oriented, people-oriented', he recognized at least seventy percent of Xujiazhuang's willingness to take action to practice this concept.

And although the 'Principles of the Sages and Moral Articles' sound very ideal and engraved into the hearts of the people, in reality, there are not many gentlemen who practice it, so what is the use of talking about it well?

Shaken.

Qian Chengzhi began to waver.

On the way back to Xujiazhuang, he couldn't help but say with wisdom: "Brother Mi, I seem to understand your approach and know why you joined Xujiazhuang." ”

"Oh, you figured it out, too?" Fang Yizhi looked at him and said with a smile.

"Yes, moral articles, I'm afraid it can't change the way of the world, maybe Xujiazhuang's set is feasible." The way of money.

"In that case, Brother Phantom Light, it's better to be like me, shave your hair and become easy to wear, join Xujiazhuang, you and I will work together to change this world." Fang Yizhi sent out the invitation.

"This ...... Let me think about it for another two days. ”

Although it was a serious shake, it was not enough for Qian Cheng to make up his mind, and it seemed that there was still a little time and opportunity.
