If historically speaking, Li Dongyang still has more than ten years to live, and now there is a wind and cold, and he didn't want the old man's life.

Just lying on the bed for two days and pouring a stomach full of Chinese medicine, I can walk around on the ground, but I am still a little weak.

Wenzheng's nickname is gone, Li Dongyang is still a little lost, he originally planned to die in Puzhou, but now it seems that he can't die.

It was not quite what I had expected before I came, there was water, there was rebellion, and there was plague.

But it can be said that there is none.

In other words, after each local collapse, a series of subsequent disasters caused by it have been artificially controlled to a minimum here in Puzhou.

After recovering from a serious illness, Li Dongyang walked all the way and looked at every scene and object in the camp, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ridiculous and nonsense, that Xia Xima is also inappropriate in this matter.

But Puzhou can have such a peaceful place to live, but it was built by these two people.

Historically, natural disasters have been followed by more disasters. But this place in Puzhou seems to have jumped out of this barrier.

The camp was well organized and orderly, and countless people were working together to rebuild their homes.

And then there's a banner that's stuck on the wall or hung up.

Li Dongyang had long noticed all kinds of slogans in the camp, such as going hand in hand, rebuilding homes, fighting earthquake relief, and uniting as one.

As of now, there are 67,531 people in the entire camp, and there is only one purpose, so don't be idle.

Xia Yuan never believed in anyone's enthusiasm and autonomy, as if no one had ever been a social animal?

When he was a social animal, he thought about how to fish all day long.

Now that he is the head of this camp, after the initial integration of personnel, a whole set of rules has been established long ago. We are here for disaster relief, and there is a lot of food, more than 100,000 stones, enough food for more than 40,000 people to eat for several months.

But it can't be given to you in vain.

If you want food, if you want to see a doctor, if you want to live in a house, if you want cloth, if you want all kinds of supplies, you have to exchange work.

Labor, labor, that naturally has to work to earn. According to work, the more dangerous and hard the work, the more you earn. Going to the Yellow River to build dams, to dispose of the corpses of people and animals inside and outside the county, and so on, the work is the most earning.

If all the work for one day is exchanged for food, it is enough for a family of three to eat with an open belly for two days.

There is also the previous search and rescue team, as many victims as they brought back, they will be given as many points of work, and each point will be exchanged for two catties of food.

In this way, the enthusiasm can be mobilized, otherwise who wants to travel all day long to search for those who may still be alive.

The new official guards who joined the two days ago also took up a job and quickly devoted themselves to disaster relief work.

And in the entire camp, except for those who are seriously ill and really can't move, it is estimated that Li Dongyang is the only idler left.

Even the children helped build a house with mud.

However, Li Dongyang is an old man, relatively high-end, and he is still an old man who has just recovered from a serious illness, and he is now wandering around the camp, and no one cares about him.

Of course, this is only temporary.

At noon, Xia Yuan learned that Li Ge Lao was able to walk around the ground, and then he took Zhu Houzhao to find him, planning to arrange a job for Ge Lao.

It is not possible for him to go to find it by himself, he is a pavilion elder, but Zhu Houzhao is fine, he is the prince, and he is more high-end than the pavilion elder.

Zhu Houzhao was right to think about it, he had to arrange a job, and the slogans were shouted, so how could there be idlers, this must not be tolerated.

If Li Dongyang also said anything bullshit about returning to Beijing or something, he would use the credit you wanted to take the credit back.

Neither of them wanted to return to Beijing for the time being, Xia Yuan summed it up, and the emperor sent a dignified cabinet minister, leading a series of officials, to travel long distances, and come to them like refugees.

Based on this incident alone, we can see the urgency and worry in Emperor Hongji's heart. Otherwise, how can there be such specifications, when will a natural disaster occur, and it is a high-end species like Ge Lao?

It can be seen that if you go back now, there will be a storm and thunderous wrath.

If you don't do it, you have to suffer, so let's delay it first, and then drag it until the emperor is angry.

And Li Dongyang, an old horseman, can't let him be idle, as soon as people are idle, they will ponder what they have and don't. For example, I was thinking about how to get the two of them back to Beijing.

"Ge Lao, Xia Guan heard that you have just recovered from a serious illness, so he specially came to visit, and now he sees that Ge Lao is good, which is really gratifying."

Li Dongyang was walking around, looking at the environment of the camp, and suddenly a smiling and sunny face came over, and the old man couldn't help but be startled, and relieved himself, "Thank you for your concern."

As he spoke, he saw Zhu Houzhao, so he straightened his clothes and bowed to the prince without being humble or arrogant, "The old minister has seen His Royal Highness the prince." ”

Xuan even asked, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Xia Xima haven't left to return to Beijing yet?" ”

"There's no hurry, Elder Ge, the prince has arranged a job for you."

"Work?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Xia Yuan nodded with a smile, "Now is the time when we need manpower, considering that the Pavilion Boss is recovering from his illness, this job is also very easy, just some cases, Qinggui." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, grinned, and showed a mouthful of big teeth, "That's right, Qinggui!" ”

Looking at these two people, Li Dongyang always felt that the word Qinggui had to be put in quotation marks, saying that it was Qinggui, but it was estimated that it was not expensive at all.

After pondering for a while, he said loudly: "The old man has a question to ask. ”

"What is the problem, please ask the elder, the lower officials know everything."

"What is the meaning of the big letters hanging out of this camp?"

"Oh, it doesn't mean much, it's just some propaganda slogans to add to the atmosphere."

"Add to the atmosphere?"

"Yes."

Earthquake relief, how can it be done without propaganda slogans, it is soulless.

And with these slogans, there is always some positive emotion to be mobilized.

Li Dongyang was assigned a very noble job, in charge of the warehouse.

It is said to be a warehouse, but it is actually an oversized mud house. Naturally, there is a case, a table made of broken wood, and he stays at this table every day, guarding the food and materials hoarded here.

Not only do you have to keep it, but you also have to keep statistics every day, how much is left, how much is added, these must be well booked.

It's very boring, it's boring, and it's very tiring, and every day is fiddling with the abacus, from morning to night.

In fact, there was no need to work so hard, but Xia Yuan was afraid that this old man would be idle, so he deliberately didn't get him any help in the book, except for the rough man who was responsible for guarding the warehouse, Li Dongyang was the only one of the cultural people.

Li Dongyang felt that he had been deceived, where is this noble, a dignified cabinet minister, who sees him and does not call Li Gong.

Now he has become a treasury manager and has started the work of the lowest-level official in the county government.

And these rough men can sometimes count wrong, and they can really kill people.

However, the rules in this camp are very strict, if you don't work, you don't have work, and if you don't work, you have nothing.

There was no work, and even the small dilapidated house he lived in had to be taken back.

For disaster relief, Li Dongyang has not provided relief, but he was not in charge of inspections in eight sedan chairs, and even handed over the specific implementation to the people below.

When have you ever done such a boring job?

But this work was arranged by the prince, at least nominally. After decades in politics, Li Dongyang's choice is to abide by the way of the monarch and the minister.

Of course, Li Dongyang was not angry in his heart, but later accepted it, because the officials who came with him were even more miserable, running around all day long, either supervising the construction of river embankments or taking people to dispose of corpses in various places.

I heard that some of the corpses were highly decomposed, and the stench seemed to be faintly smelled even if they were wearing several layers of masks and blocked by the smell of wormwood.

This kind of thing of taking someone to dispose of the corpse, even if you don't have to do it yourself, just stand by and supervise, no one wants to do it. After all, this kind of thing is not only terrifying, but it can also be infected with epidemics if you are not careful.

Even those who made a special trip to dispose of the corpses lived in separate areas and gathered in groups to isolate them.

But the young Hanlin editor took the initiative to ask for help and voluntarily led these people to run around.

For such a person, even if he knows that he is a Puzhou person, Li Dongyang also admires it, if he is also a Puzhou person, he may not be able to do it.

To dispose of corpses, you usually have to come back once every three or five days after going out, after all, the dry food you carry can only be carried for a few days.

Li Tingxiang was wearing several layers of thick masks, and even his whole body was tightly covered, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. It was the end of summer, but the temperature was still high, and I was covered in sweat.

When he arrived near the camp, he first built a fire, took off all the outer clothes he was wrapping in, including the mask on his face, and then put them in the fire and burned them all.

Then he walked straight to the room at the edge of the camp, which was airtight, smoky, and had wormwood burning on the ground.

He sat quietly inside, smoking himself with the smoke of wormwood, so that he could disinfect and sterilize.

From the second day after arriving at the camp, he took people out to dispose of the corpses, and this was the first time he returned.

Li Tingxiang didn't know where his mother and little sister were, this camp was too big and there were too many people, he didn't know how to find it, and he didn't look for it.

didn't look for it, Xu is mother and little sister lived in this camp peacefully, but if they didn't find it, then this last bit of thought was gone.

When he knew that the corpses of people and animals inside and outside Pucheng County had been disposed of, his heart tightened for a while, but he felt relieved.

Now that I have received this task of disposing of the corpses, I will go to Pucheng one day, but now that Pucheng County has been cleaned up, there is no need to go.

You don't have to go, you won't find it when you dispose of the corpse

didn't think about it anymore, it was already half an hour later, Li Tingxiang got up silently, pushed open the door and walked out.

Then he walked for half an hour, passed through the camp, and came to the Pushui Side, where countless women and children were fetching water with wooden barrels, carrying water, and they were very busy.

Li Tingxiang deliberately found a downstream location, and then began to wash himself with water.

The busy women looked at him and quickly looked away, except for the children who were still looking at him curiously.

The two buckets of water were full.

The sweaty middle-aged woman wiped the sweat on her face, hung the bucket on the flat shoulder, picked it up with some difficulty, and said to the little girl next to her: "Niuniu, let's go, go back with my mother." ”

The girl, who looked like she was four or five years old, nodded sensibly, but one leg was injured and she was walking on one foot on the ground. Holding a bamboo stick in his hand, he limped when he walked, turned his head to look at Li Tingxiang downstream in the distance, and pointed with his finger, "Mother, I think that person looks like a brother." ”

"What nonsense, your brother is an official in Beijing, how can he be here."

As she spoke, the woman instinctively glanced in the direction of her daughter's finger, and then frowned slightly.
