Ding An rushed back to the county seat from outside on the first night, and went to the yamen to report his work, the time was already midnight, and he thought that he could take turns to take a day off on the second day, so he did not rush to Chu's house to visit his wife and children.

After nearly ten years of running and exhausting, Ding An closed his eyes and slept directly until dawn, then slowly woke up, and after freshening up, he went straight to Chu's house.

This matter does not involve any secrets in the yamen, Ding An naturally knows everything: "The official roads and roads in various places have now been dredged, and the actual disaster situation in various towns and villages is now basically grasped by the yamen, and it is good to say that the number of casualties this time is really a lot, frostbite and smashing, and the Langzhong everywhere is simply too busy."

Third Uncle Chu sighed when he heard this: "This year's Spring Festival, I'm afraid that many people are sad, the house collapses and can be rebuilt with silver, and if people are injured, there is nothing, they can always be raised, even those who have died in the family, I am afraid that they will not be able to get out for a while."

"Uncle Chu is right, I'm afraid it's going to be a bad year this year, the county government is also very worried now, the disaster relief money from the imperial court has not yet arrived, and silver money is needed everywhere to repair roads and houses.

Shen Luzhu was a little puzzled when he heard this: "It's easy to understand that there is a lack of medicine and medicine, but why do you have to worry about the coffin and the burial?"

Chu Yi pondered for a moment and asked, "But those beggars who have no fixed residence?"

Ding An nodded and said: "After days of heavy snowfall, there are not a few homeless people who freeze to death and starve to death in various places, and there are some poor people in bad days, the houses and houses have to be repaired, and the dead people have to be buried, and they need silver money at every end, if there are one or two more injured and disabled, it will be even more sad, and the living must be held first, and many corpses are still in the snow."

If it's cold today, it's nothing, I'm afraid that after the New Year, the weather will be warm, and these corpses will not be disposed of, but I am afraid that they will attract epidemics."

Ding An has been investigating the disaster everywhere recently, and there are too many people in this meeting, all saying that the hemp rope is broken in detail, and the bad luck is only looking for the miserable, and this snow disaster has a lot of people who are injured and disabled, or people who died directly are not rich, and now the house is collapsed and the people are gone, which is simply worse.

In fact, this matter is easy to understand, those who have some family background, the house is built strongly, and it is often repaired and maintained, as long as it is cleaned up in time when it snows heavily, there will always be no big problem.

But those poor families are different, it is good to be able to build a few adobe houses in the east and west, and they are busy with their livelihoods all day long, and even when the farm is slack, they have to go to the town or the village outside the village to find a short-term job to do, and where is the effort to repair the houses, this heavy snow, the first thing that can not bear it, is these adobe or thatched houses.

Some people who are injured and disabled can only rely on the homes of neighbors or relatives to heal people with money, but those who have died in the family can only consider the living first, and in some villages, there are still many corpses, which are still in the snow.

This situation was summarized by the officials who went out to check the disaster situation one by one in the hands of the Xin County Order, and as the parent official of a county, he naturally had to be worried.

Shen Luzhu listened to what Ding An said, and suddenly thought about it, but he didn't say anything on the spot, and it was not too late to discuss it with Chu Yi.

After lunch, after sending off Ding An's family, Chu Yi and Shen Luzhu took Zhengzheng back to the room to rest, and when Zhengzheng fell asleep, Shen Luzhu finally couldn't hold it back, and talked to Chu Yi about his thoughts.

"Chu Yi, I have thought of a way, maybe I can help our family and fight back against Chu Ren a little."

Hearing this, Chu Yi turned sideways, faced his wife, and asked softly, "What method?"

"Didn't my brother-in-law say that the county magistrate is worried about burying those homeless people and those who don't have the money to bury their relatives. I wondered if we could donate some coffins to the yamen?"

Chu Yi was a little puzzled, what does this have to do with fighting back against Chu Ren: "Donate to the Yamen?"

Shen Luzhu nodded and continued: "Well, donate it to the yamen, or donate it to the county commander, we don't ask for anything else, just ask the lord to give a public praise when the time comes."

"Ah Zhu wants to say that if the county magistrate can openly express his affection for our family, then Chu Renfei's thoughts before will be self-defeating, right?"
