Chapter 107: The Heart of the Army and the Hearts of the People
Busy day and night, a total of thousands of victims were relieved. In addition, more victims have returned to the village, although their families are not worth much, but they are worth a lot of money, and they still keep their homes.
When Lu Bu led more than 1,000 light cavalry to arrive, it was already five days later, and Zhao Yun led the white horses to ride one by one, and the white horses were covered with yellow mud, and the white horses also became muddy horses.
Zhao Yun looked guilty, turned over and dismounted, and bowed his head: "Lord, Zhao Yun has the trust of the lord, this flood, more than 100 people died in Pingyuan County." More than a dozen villages were razed to the ground. ”
Lu Buma supported him: "Zilong, please get up, as a military general, you are responsible for the military, not to mention that this is a natural disaster, I can't blame you." If you hadn't led your troops to notify the people to move and issue an early warning, I'm afraid the casualties would have been even greater. In the autumn, the people will be mobilized to overhaul the river embankment, and Liu Bei will be blamed for this incident, leaving his post without permission and causing trouble. ”
Zhao Yun's heart was warmed by Lu Bu's words, and he was relieved.
Dian Wei looked around and asked, "Lord, isn't it a war to be a soldier and eat food, and you also need to provide disaster relief?" ”
"This depends on the qualitative nature of the team, and the qualitative of our team is to serve the people and serve the people. The people usually give us food and drink, and in times of crisis, we naturally have to stand up for the people. Just like an umbrella, only if we can shelter the people from the wind and rain, can the people lift us above their heads. ”
In front of the refugee camp, the people welcomed them.
Lu Bu rode on foot and kept waving to everyone.
"If you have any demands, if you have any difficulties, just put them forward, what can be solved must be solved, and if you can't solve them, I will help you find a way."
An old man in his seventies walked out tremblingly: "Lord Thorn Shi, the flood will recede immediately." But there are no houses, food, drink, livestock, etc., and we need to hold on until next year's food. ”
Lu Bu nodded: "There is no problem with food, since it is the people under my Qingzhou rule, I will definitely not starve to death because of lack of food." But Ben is going to tell you the good news, that your village is ruined, but not all of your crops are destroyed. Moreover, the Qingzhou army has been blocked by the water mouth, and you will soon be able to go home and plant some grain, and you can harvest as much as you can. ”
Chen Gong sent civilian officials to make statistics, and he was not afraid of distributing relief, but he was afraid that the relief food would be corrupted by corrupt officials, and the people would not get relief at that time, and they would not eat or drink, so they would join the Yellow Turban Army again.
Soon it was counted that there were 5,300 households in need of relief.
Each family distributed 400 catties of grain, 10 catties of soybean and mung bean seeds, an iron pot, and two farm tools. As for clothes and blankets, one set per person.
The people burst into tears of excitement and were speechless one by one.
As the flood receded, relief supplies were in place for the disbandment of the victimized camps, and the soldiers helped the villagers cut down trees and set up tents, which they had been settling down for more than ten days. The second batch of supplies also arrived, the pickles from Jinan County, each household was divided into 20 catties, and in the rest of the season, the victims had no land, and they could also find some wild vegetables, river fish and the like.
Pickles are the only ones that don't, which are expensive things.
In addition, there are dozens of horse-drawn carts of fine grain, milled millet, rice flour, eggs, old hens, and so on.
Zhang Ying, the main force of disaster relief, also couldn't figure it out: "Lord, can you still use these things for disaster relief?" ”
"Didn't you find out that there were five or six hundred women who had just given birth to babies during the disaster?"
Zhang Ying shook his head, during this time, the team cleaned up the river and built the embankment, and they really didn't pay attention to these.
"Some of these people have only given birth for a few days, and some have children for a few months. If only adults are cared for, and there is food to eat, then the child will not starve to death. General Zhang will do one last reinforcement of the embankment, and then wait for the beginning of autumn to repair it, now the weather is too hot, and it is easy to suffer from heat stroke. ”
"Yes, my lord."
Houde Village is a village on the edge of the Yellow River, but the terrain is higher, and the water overflows the village only to the calf, and the village has lost some pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, and other domestic animals, and there is no problem with the house.
Li San's daughter-in-law was born a baby three months ago, everything was fine, a big flood disrupted everything, although people were fine, but Li San's daughter-in-law was frightened, and she didn't eat much for a few days, and the milk was gone.
The child is often hungry and crying.
Early in the morning, Li San took a hoe and went to work at the construction site, after the heavy flood, the river in the village must be repaired, and no one dares to guarantee that there will be no heavy rain recently.
Until noon, Li San came back with a hoe and a small crucian carp in his hand.
"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, you drink crucian carp soup at noon,"
The daughter-in-law looked at it: "It's such a little fish, it's not as long as your fingers, it doesn't matter if I eat it or not, it's just that I cried the child, I don't even have an egg, where is the milk." ”
Li San looked at his doll's hungry skin and bones, and felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but shed tears.
The daughter-in-law also sighed helplessly: "You go and borrow a net in the afternoon to see if you can eat the whole carp, and eat some good milk or milk." ”
Li San shook his head: "You don't know the current situation, there are more fishermen than fish, where will people lend us nets." Our village is relatively lightly affected, and each household only has 150 catties of relief food, which is barely enough for adults to eat until autumn. ”
The child was hungry and crying, and the husband and wife were also crying with their heads in their arms.
At this time, someone shouted at the gate of the courtyard: "Li San, is Li San at home?" ”
Li San came to the door and saw that there were two giants, much bigger than himself.
On a hot day, he was still dressed neatly, and he looked like a person from the government.
It was none other than Lu Bu and Dian Wei.
Li San wiped away his tears: "The villain is Li San." ”
Lu Bu bent down and came to the courtyard.
"Li San, you are registered here that you have a three-month-old child at home, and relief food needs to be specially distributed. A total of 100 catties of millet, 50 catties of white rice, 50 eggs, 10 hens, and 100 copper coins. ”
The entourage moved the things in and put them in the yard, and the entourage took out the account book: "Li San, is it convenient to take the child out and take a look, verify that you don't send it wrong." ”
Li San's daughter-in-law came out with the child in her arms and gave a deep salute: "The woman has thanked the adult, and these things are enough to feed the child." ”
Lu Bu looked at the child, he was scary and thin, it seemed that he was still negligent, and he should have been rescued a long time ago.
All the affected families had children and sick elderly people were given key care, and Lu Bu led people to go out to visit the people.
Li San and his daughter-in-law glanced at each other and wiped away their tears: "It's great, it's timely, I never thought that the government would care so much about the people, what an honor it is for me to wait for the people." ”
"That's it, who is this adult, why is he so tall?"
"I'm going to kill chickens, and my daughter-in-law is waiting to drink chicken soup."
