This set of processes is not complicated, because there is no need to pay attention to the appearance, let alone fine, and the most simple way of construction is the most time-saving.

After Zheng Quqi hammered the component tightly, checked its stability, and after everything was fine, he asked the county soldiers to fetch some dry firewood and made a fire in front of everyone.

The flames are from small to large, vertically upward, and finally the bottom of the round iron pot is "swallowed", and sure enough, there is no damp mountain wind to make trouble, you can easily control the fire, surrounded by three sides, even if it rains, it is easy to float in.

The victims of the disaster gathered in piles to drink gruel, but when they saw a young man who looked delicate and expensive, he was cutting wood and making a comparison around the earthen stove, and he was curious, and he couldn't help but watch secretly.

Can he summon the county soldiers? Seeing the county soldiers' respectful appearance towards her, there must be some status in the family.

His satchel was quite exaggerated, and he could pull out a saw, and at another he could take out a row of small carving knives, as well as hammers, chisels, and carpentry planers...... With such a heavy tool on his back, he can still walk back and forth easily, and this small body is really invisible.

But when he thought back that he came back alone with two dead logs in his arms, he knew that people should not be disgraced.

At this moment he took out the tools and sawed there, sharpening and grinding, as if entering the state of a carpenter, watching people work to be honest they found it quite interesting for the first time, but he did have flexible hands and feet, a set of processes like flowing water, with a certain sense of mystery and ornamentation of the skill, for a while unconsciously fascinated.

After a while, he used the processed wood to form two rows of wood, and then connected them to one piece with the two ends of the rows, and then beat them to fix them, and finally built a triangular shed about half a person high.

From nothing to something, the process itself has a sense of creative healing.

Seeing this, they seemed to understand what this little boy was doing.

I couldn't help but be curious and came forward to check.

The scaffolding they had seen before was the kind of four pieces of wood erected, and it was the first time they had seen this kind of pointed top, which did not need a skeleton and a support column, but relied on force balance, although they did not understand the principle, they only felt novel.

"This little boy, what is this?"

If someone doesn't understand, ask.

Zheng Quqi felt that he had just made a wooden handiwork, which was not troublesome, but he used it at the top: "I just made a simple canopy for everyone to shelter from the rain and wind, the wind is strong on the mountain, and we have no shelter here, the fire is small, it is easy to be blown out, and it is easy to be extinguished on a rainy day, but with it, you see, isn't it completely unaffected?" ”

Zheng Quqi stood up and let them take a look.

"Really."

"Before, the fire was always extinguished as soon as it was blown, and it was really sad to cook a meal, but now it is poured, and there is no need to take care of the fire all the time." The cooker rejoiced.

"Little brother, you are such a good person, we finally don't have to eat that cold porridge anymore."

"What little brother, people are little boys, but little boys, your skills are really good, the main thing is that the action is too fast, it is too difficult for the carpenters in our village to get something, either this is not good, or it has to be repaired, it is laborious, you can get it done at once."

Seeing that they are facing hardship, but they can still be coaxed to be happy because of a trivial matter, Zheng Quqi sincerely hopes that their lives can often encounter small happiness and smile.

"Practice makes perfect, it's not a big deal, and ordinary carpenters do, do you see if it's done with a few efforts? By the way, do we have a carpenter? ”

Tools were born to make human life better and easier, but some people have no technology but no life in their eyes, but some people have life everywhere in their eyes.

The refugees who have been rescued will only gather more and more, but the restoration of their homes is a long project, food is a problem, settlement is a problem, and in order to make their lives more comfortable during this period, it is necessary to do some infrastructure.

When she asked, many people looked blank and looked left and right, but some people responded: "I am." ”

"Me too."

"I'm not a carpenter, but I've learned a trade from a carpenter for a year, and I'll know a little."

Zheng Quqi nodded at the number of people, and it is currently generally estimated that there are only seven or eight carpenters among the victims, not many, but it should be enough.

"That's right, I know that everyone is waiting for the rescue and help of the imperial court, but all external support is limited, they can solve your most difficult part, but if we want to live well and live well, we still have to rely on our own hands, do you agree?"

Speaking of this, she deliberately paused to see their reactions, and sure enough, as long as there is hope of living in their hearts, they are willing to be pushed forward to improve their predicament, and they all have a look of eagerness to wait for the next thing on their faces at the moment.

So Zheng Quqi continued: "The county commander is a good official, when the disaster occurred, he personally led the soldiers to build the embankment, and sought such a temporary safety shelter for everyone for the first time, but during this period of time, he had to face heavy affairs, such as finding the scattered victims, counting the missing people, rescuing the trapped people, etc., you may be neglected, but we have our own hands and feet, and we can also carry out some labor and construction, right?" ”

Her words were like sunlight shining through the hazy sky, and beams of bright light sprinkled on the earth, making their dull and dim mood feel different at once, as if they were suddenly enlightened.

They stood up and looked at each other with a glint in their eyes: "That's right, we can do things too!" ”

"Yes, yes, we don't eat rice, we can help with anything."

"Qianxian Ling is indeed a good official, what we eat now is bought from the local warehouse by him out of his own pocket, he has been running around for the past two days for the people of our Cangling County, we can only sit here and wait for news, and I also feel very uncomfortable, it is better to do some work."

They are all industrious working people, and they are naturally not accustomed to dry consumption.

"Other things are not busy first, first of all, I think what we should do is to build our own place first, it has been rainy and damp recently, if there is no tile to cover our heads, sleep on the ground, we will inevitably get sick after a long time, so we have to build a house for ourselves, and we still have to have living conditions, such as houses, toilet drains, cisterns, drainage ditches, etc., ......"

Zheng Quqi remembers that after the disaster, it is easy to breed plagues, and there are many people, which is also related to poor living conditions and lack of personal hygiene, so she has to ensure the order of their lives and create a clean and comfortable living environment.

This is not something that they can do as farmers: "But, we don't know that." ”

"That's right, if you ask us to help carry and lift, and do some hard work, even if we want to help with other things, we can only watch and do it in a hurry."

Of course, Zheng Quqi knew that they wouldn't, she soothed: "It doesn't matter, I will arrange people who understand these things to do it, but you are more important, labor is the primary productive force, each of you is useful, but don't worry, you have a good rest tonight, tomorrow I will arrange someone to come over to deal with these things, I believe that as long as we are united, even in the face of great calamity, we will not be able to defeat us." ”

After a bit of chicken soup for the soul, she rekindled the light in front of their eyes and let them see the "road" ahead.

She knew that the victims had just faced a frightening event, and their mood had not yet calmed down, and most of them would fall into a melancholy and dazed mood next, but as long as they were given something to do, so that they felt needed and that there was still a way ahead, they would cheer up as quickly as possible.

Moreover, the rescue force is now seriously undermanpowered, which can kill two birds with one stone.

"This little boy, I don't know what you call it." An old white man asked politely.

Zheng Quqi smiled and said: "My surname is Zheng, I am an official sent by the imperial court to control the water this time, you can rest assured, the disaster relief food is on the way to come, it is estimated that it will be the day after tomorrow, how can you drink gruel every day, the Tai Medical Department sent hundreds of doctors and medical apprentices to the disaster area for diagnosis and treatment, the injured do not have to worry, and your work will also be compensated, you will not be allowed to work in vain." ”

When the victims present heard this, their eyes widened, and they didn't know if they were surprised that the young man in front of them had become a big official at a young age, or because of the surprise that followed her words.

"W-How can it be so fast this time?"

"What other doctors from the Imperial Doctor's Department were sent, it sounds like they are treating the royal family or dignitaries, how can they come to treat us civilians?"

"You get paid for your work, oh my God, that's—that's great."

The people below have exploded, if Zheng Quqi was the light of hope that ignited their new beginning, then now she is equivalent to giving them a more positive spiritual strength.

The state is working so hard to help them and support them, so why shouldn't they cheer up?

——

Zheng Quqi, who was worried about how to report to Yuan Xingzhou along the way to increase the additional labor budget for disaster relief, withered.

She made her own decision on this matter, if the household department cried poor and refused to approve, then she could only solve it out of her own pocket like a thousand county orders.

There is a saying that it is taken from the people and used by the people, right, I hope that when she receives the letter from her asking for money, Zhang Qinan can feel that she is very reasonable, and she will quickly call the money.

Back in the temporary shantytown, Zheng Quqi saw Liang Tian rushing over in a hurry: "Lord Zheng, where have you been, we have been looking for you for a long time." ”

"Went to the front for a walk, what's wrong?"

Front?

Isn't that an area where the victims are housed? What is Master Zheng going to do there? Liang Tian was puzzled, but he didn't ask: "It's the Cangling County Commander who is looking for you." ”

"Did you say anything?"

"It seems to say that I heard that a group of villagers were washed up on the hillside by the flood, and now people are trapped in the col desperately calling for help, and someone outside heard it and hurried back to report the news, but now it is too dangerous to save people, and it is still during the rising water, so I am worried about floods, and I am worried about landslides, and the county order is bent on saving people, but Captain Wu does not agree to risk the lives of soldiers......"

Looks like this has been happening for some time.

"So, at this time, you remember that there is still an idler like me?"

I didn't notify her of such a big thing, and I only remembered that there was such a person as her when I was arguing, and it seemed that her sense of existence was not only low, but even none.

Also, what use does it seem to them to be to inform her?

"No, they seem to be at peace with us by default, they do their business, we do ours." Liang Tian was also unhappy.

As they talked, they had already come to the bottom of the canopy, only to see two people standing in front of a table, and the rest of the people were standing outside the roof of the canopy, listening to the sound of the quarrel was not small.

“…… The affairs of the people are no small matter, and there are more than a dozen people trapped, some old and some young, if it is delayed any longer, it will be bad if there is a talc on the hillside where they are. ”

"If it's dark today, and you can't even see the road clearly, it's impossible for you to let my soldiers take risks!"

"Xiaguan said, we have a map, and there are county soldiers with good foot strength to lead the way, and we are in front of danger when there is danger, Captain Wu is so timid and afraid of death, the court sent to rescue and save a #¥%!"

It is estimated that it is not a good word in the back, it is like a scolding dialect in a certain place, Zheng Quqi didn't understand the content, but he understood the tone.

She stepped forward and heard that Captain Wu was also annoyed: "The terrain of Cangling has always been steep, and it is difficult to walk at night, not to mention the mountain road, what if someone leads the way, can you guarantee that there are no accidents?" It's just a one-night delay, can't you leave tomorrow morning? ”

"If the water spreads tomorrow morning, and even the road to the mountain road is completely flooded, how can we save people?"

Zheng Quqi was standing in front of them, but the two of them were still staring at each other like cross-eyed, and she could only raise her hand: "Two adults, are you done arguing?" Let me interrupt you, do the twisted and twisted lines on this map represent rivers or mountain roads? ”

On the table is a map of Cangling County, with curves, straight lines, parallel lines, triangles, circles and wavy lines...... Without the name represented by the figure, she could only guess and blind.

Zheng Quqi is really speechless about the map of Ye Kingdom, what was drawn in the court before can also be called abstract, I can't imagine that the map of the countryside is a group of demons dancing, that set of standard map recognition knowledge, she hasn't learned it yet, and she has to open up new knowledge here.

Qianxian Ling and Wu Xiaowei, who were arguing with red faces, looked at her sharply: "......" can't even read the map, you are still a master craftsman with a hammer!

Hey, don't think she can't hear the swear words if she doesn't scold them!

Don't know what it means that the eyes are the windows to the soul?

"Didn't you call the official here? Okay, the official goes, don't bother the two of you to quarrel. ”

As he spoke, Zheng Quqi was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by the two of them: "Wait." ”

"What's wrong again?"

Qianxian Ling took the lead: "Lord Zheng, you come to judge the theory, Captain Wu ......"

didn't want to hear him repeat it again and waste time, Zheng Quqi said directly: "Qianxian Order, I heard what you just quarreled about, I think...... All right. ”

Qianxian Ling's eyes widened: "You...... Why are you as greedy for life and afraid of death as Captain Wu? Everyone cares about this and that, just like you, what about the people who are trapped and dead? ”

Zheng Quqi was unhurried, like an old pedant: "Don't worry, don't worry, I didn't say not to save, but saving people is not the same as taking people inside, why don't you tell me what kind of first thing this is?" ”

The corners of Qianxian Ling's mouth twitched, and finally he said angrily: "This represents water." ”

Ah, water.

She pondered for a moment and came up with a new idea: "Since the mountain road is dangerous, the mountain road is easy to flood, and we are afraid of landslides, then it is better for us to take a waterway directly." (End of chapter)
