Chapter 19 Disaster Relief

The women's school of Hanmo Lou recently invited the palace to teach Mama Zhou to teach etiquette, and the ladies of the famous families in Beijing who are over 12 years old have come to six or seven percent.

When the ground moved, the ladies took a lunch break, but they were only panicked for a moment, and most of them were waited by the maids who carried them, obeyed the explanation of Hanmolou's grandmother, and came to the open and safe place of the compound to gather.

Mama Zhou looked at the calm and calm ladies with satisfaction, and only told them to go home separately first, and then arrange another class when they were sure that they had nothing to do.

On the way back, Gu Xiangyun saw many students of Guozijian hurrying by. Sent people to inquire, and learned that West Street was seriously damaged, houses collapsed, and countless casualties were killed, so he did not hesitate to let the coachman follow.

Gu Xiangyun observed in the carriage for a long time, and the seven sons of Shangjing saw three, all of whom rolled up their sleeves and tied their clothes, helping to clean up the broken walls of the ruined houses, and from time to time the victims who were crushed and smashed were rescued and sent to the temporary shacks for treatment.

She thought about it for a moment, then went to the hut where the female wounded woman was parked with two personal maids, and helped the doctor to bandage the wounds.

West Street is inhabited by poor people, the weather is hot, and the smell can be imagined.

Gu Xiangyun endured his nausea, pretending to be compassionate and busy, comforting the injured people softly from time to time, and the few appreciative plum blossom auspicious small silver coins he carried on his body were also given to a few poor people who looked the most miserable, causing a voice of gratitude.

Although she herself did not identify herself, her personal maids Dongmei and Chunzhu quietly informed the victims: This is Miss Yongding Hou.

The disaster relief system of the Dayi Dynasty is much more perfect than Jintong imagined.

At the end of the afternoon, Anjifang, which was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, had already dispatched personnel to inspect the whole city. At the end of the day, it was determined that the situation in West Street was the most serious, and six adult manpower was concentrated on West Street, plus the manpower sent by the powerful families in Beijing and the students who came from the Guozi Prison to help save people.

The two sons of Lord Lu, Lu Hanwen, Lu Hongwen, and Chu Xi, the brother of Prince Su and Princess Su, carefully rescued a child from a mess.

The Lu brothers each supported a bamboo cup the thickness of a teacup and held up a stone slab.

One of the seven sons of Shangjing, Chu Xi, who was beautiful and graceful, crawled on the ground like a turtle, stretched out his hand to pull the child out, but felt that the child was suppressed, if it was forced, it would definitely aggravate the injury, the child's consciousness was already blurred, and he only hummed weakly.

"Brother Jing Si, Brother Jingyan, you support for a while, this kid is suppressed, you can see if you can simply move this stone slab."

"No, Chu Shao, there is rubble on the top, and the foundation below is unstable, I'm afraid it will collapse!"

Lu Hanwen came up with a method: "Fourth brother, let's try to take two more bamboo poles to drill into and erect them, block the gravel on the top and not fall, and see if we can make the stone slab higher." ”

The three of them were discouraged, and finally picked up the child out, and Chu Xi ran to send the person to Doctor Ye. The Lu brothers continued to carry stones all over the ground, looking for anyone to be crushed underneath.

The child's left foot was bloody and fleshy, and it was estimated that he was crippled when he was rescued.

Chu Xi felt pity in his heart, and couldn't help sighing: Heaven and earth are really unkind, and everything is a dog! Looking back, he was looking at Gu Xiangyun, who was helping to bandage the wounds of the victims, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Gu Xiangyun, who was neatly dressed, had a beautiful posture, and Fang Yingying gave him a salute: "Young Master Chu is well!" ”

Chu Xi, who had turned into a yellow ragged shirt, grinned at the corners of his mouth, and returned the salute: "Miss Gu San is well!" Then he threw himself into the rescue again.

Gu Xiangyun stayed for less than an hour, and was invited back by Mama Yang, who came after hearing the news. Mama Yang was kind and kind-eyed, and said to the injured people amiably: "The Marquis of Yongding Mansion is already preparing food for everyone, and I will send some fine ones later." Then he saluted Gu Xiangyun: "Miss, please!" ”

Gu Xiangyun elegantly bandaged the injured man at hand, and Fang and the two maids said goodbye and left.

The voices of appreciation and gratitude of the entire shack were endless, and Gu Xiangyun couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. Mama Yang was noncommittal, and only hung her head and followed behind. Then he directly sent Gu Xiangyun back to the ancestral hall of the Chengping Marquis Mansion, only saying that Mrs. Jiang asked the third lady to copy the family rules of the female precepts and calm down.

The people rescued first were sent to a vacant lot on the south side of West Street, and because Jintong had already prepared, Wu'an and government personnel had already worked together to build dozens of simple greenhouses for the people to rest.

The little leader named Li Liu in Anjifang was extremely flexible, first arranged to boil a few large barrels of herbal water, and then contacted the people sent by various prefectures to help, so that they could take turns to rest and drink herbal water in batches.

Casualties kept coming, and for every ten dead people, the government sent people to immediately push them to Yizhuang outside the city and burn them. It was too hot on this day, and if we didn't dispose of the dead bodies quickly, I was afraid that it would cause a plague.

The residents of West Street were already mixed, and a few ruffians took the opportunity to make trouble, only blocking in front of the ox cart carrying the corpses, crying and making a fuss.

In front of a scarred face, he knelt down to stop the officer: "My lord, please be old, let's bring the body back!" As the saying goes, death is great, and burial is peace! ”

"Yes, sir! My father has suffered all his life, no matter how filial we are, we must let him be buried in the ground! You can't just burn it! ”

"My lord, you can't burn it, you can't burn it! Let me take my wife back for burial!" ”

"My lord! They are all honest people, and they are not great treacherous people, it is not good to burn them! ”

"What the hell have we committed! We will crush our loved ones to ashes! ”

The corpse transporter hurriedly persuaded everyone: "This is an order from above, the dead must be sent to Yizhuang outside the city to be burned, otherwise it will not cause a plague." ”

"This good person is not sick or painful, he was killed by the collapsed house, where is the plague?" Scarface took the lead in coaxing, and he observed very clearly that there were many rich and noble families who came to help save people today. He made a big deal here, and then let his brother blackmail secretly, the nobles present must want to settle the matter, isn't this money in hand?

Wu Ping, who was drinking water, saw that the momentum was not right, and was ready to go over to help.

Danzhu secretly observed for a long time, and hurriedly pulled Wu Ping away, and said a few words to him, Wu Ping stretched out his thumb: "Madame is like a god!" After walking a few steps, he turned back to Danzhu and said, "It's getting dark this day, it's not safe here, you go back to your house quickly!" ”

Then he hurriedly squeezed into the crowd and shouted loudly: "Rank listen to me!" ”

Scarface looked at him covered in dust and sweat, and disdainfully said, "Who are you?" Why should I listen to you? ”

Wu Ping took out the Houfu waist card for the surrounding people to see, crossed his waist with one hand, raised his chin and looked arrogant, and the fox fake tiger glared at Scarface: "See clearly?" "The prime minister's concierge is a seven-grade official, not to mention the Hou Mansion, Wu Ping is very confident.

Some of the people who were literate whispered to their companions: "It's from the Hou Mansion, it must be a big official, we can't afford to mess with it!" ”

Wu An took the chicken feather as an arrow: "Rest assured!" Several of our Hou Mansion have gathered hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and when all the people are rescued and settled, the adults of Jingzhao Mansion Yin and the household department will count the number of people, and all the dead will be paid by us to do a good job of spiritual position, and ask Master Yuan Zhi of Putuo Temple to recite the scriptures for more than three days. The rest of the injured, depending on the situation, can receive at least 5 taels of disaster relief silver. ”

Five taels of silver can buy five or six stone of fine grain, or ten or so stone of coarse grain, which can feed a family of five for several months. Everyone was quietly talking, and many people had quietly retreated.

Scarface provoked again: "Where is this silver?" We didn't see it again? You're lying, aren't you? ”

"Who are you? Is there a record of household registration? Wu Ping lifted Scarface.

The household registration of the Dayi Dynasty was strict, and the household departments such as Shinong, industrial and commercial slave registration, and lowly registration were all registered. Scarface is a few black households who are already streaming, smashing and extorting money everywhere, and they don't have a registered household registration, so they naturally can't get money.

Seeing that it was unprofitable, Scarface was anxious and shouted, "Officers and soldiers are beating!" Wu Ping simply slashed his hand, and Scarface fainted.

"Everyone, whether our Hou Mansion is deceiving or not, everyone will know in just two days! Why bother to hinder the government with such unregistered ruffians? ”

At this time, Li Liu ran over panting and shouted: "Xiangruilou has sent a few truckloads of cooking cakes and rice porridge, everyone go and eat!" ”

The rest of the people immediately scattered as birds and beasts, Xiangruilou is a famous restaurant on the top of Beijing, how can ordinary people usually taste the food they send? The people take food as the sky, the sky and the earth have the biggest belly, and it is important to be full!

Danzhu didn't go back, and saw Chef Liang and Chef Liu coming over with a few rough mothers-in-law pushing a few cars, and Su Bai was also there, so she immediately ran over to help, and quickly divided the porridge and cakes.

When Wu Ping saw it, he hurriedly ordered a few family members to go over and guard, there are all cows, ghosts, snakes and gods on West Street, and two chefs from Xiangrui Building are men, so don't have any accidents.
