Chapter 154: Accidental Food

This is a small town, and most of the people in the town are flooded in from the disaster area, all of them in rags, and they are huddled under other people's roofs to hide from the rain, and many people are shivering from the cold.

Some people also brought some belongings and set up crooked sheds in the corners.

At this time, most of the merchants closed their doors and did not dare to open their business, for fear that the victims would rob them.

And those who dare to open the door to do business are some powerful merchants, and at the same time, the store has a large number of family guards.

As you can imagine, how expensive the things for sale are, especially for food, and there are very few shops that are still open.

The mayor of the town opened the warehouse to release grain, and he gave porridge at the entrance of the yamen for the past few days, but there was only one meal a day, and the water content of the porridge accounted for seventy percent, which could hang people's lives.

But this is already his greatest ability.

The roads were closed by heavy floods, and there were not many opportunities for them to seek help from the county or elsewhere.

Such a great flood can only be crossed by people, but the supplies cannot be transported in any way.

The sudden floods over the years have made the mayor of the town very scrambled to deal with it, and his hair turned gray overnight, and at this time he also organized people to go to disaster relief and explore the water potential, which is simply a head and two big.

These situations were said by Chengdong's brothers.

Cheng Dong's brother, called Cheng Xi, Cheng Bei Cheng Nan, is really very memorable, and he knows that he is a person from a certain organization at a glance.

Cheng Dong took Jiang Changan and a few people, and when they found Cheng Nan and them in the corner, they were so hungry that their eyes were green.

Jiang Changan brought people into the inn, anyway, they also had to stay, so they were called for food.

Damn, the three men directly killed a few pots of soft glutinous rice porridge, as if they had been hungry for several years.

The inns in the town are very expensive at this time, except for some rich families and passing wealthy merchants, few people can really afford to live.

Therefore, Jiang Chang'an, who came late, only had a place to live, but if they continued to eat in this way, it was very likely that they would not be able to afford to live in an inn.

At this time, the mayor came to the door, of course, he was looking for Chengdong and a few people.

Because a few young people have military tokens, they can participate in local government affairs at critical times when people's lives are at stake, at least their opinions should be more detailed.

"I heard that Cheng Ye is back, I don't know how the situation is in Bamboo Village?"

Bamboo Village is a low-lying valley, and if the evacuation is not timely, the village is estimated to be over.

If someone from a village really died, then he, the mayor, would not have to be the mayor, so the mayor was really worried, and he asked without waiting for anyone to sit down and talk.

When it comes to Bamboo Village, Chengdong's sense of surprise has not weakened after a few days of precipitation.

He felt that even if he didn't bring the news over, as long as Jiang Changan and Li Shushen were there, Bamboo Village would still be safe and sound.

"It's good there, the villagers have moved all their belongings to the highlands, and they have built more than a dozen bamboo houses, so they will live in the mountains in the future, and they don't have to move back to their hometowns.

The village plans to dig holes to divert water from the upper reaches to the village, and use the low-lying areas as rivers to reclaim the terraced fields in the future.

Build waterfalls, build inns, weave bamboo furniture for passing merchants, and there is no need to worry about the future.

And all this is the planning and construction of Chang'an. In the end, Cheng Dong introduced Jiang Changan to the mayor.

The mayor was confused, and he couldn't understand what Cheng Dong was talking about? Let you evacuate the villagers, you engage in construction? It's off the charts.

The mayor of the town IQ is online, since it is Jiang Changan's credit, then first of all, he must be treated with courtesy, no matter how young others are, in short, the ability is not small.

So he first bowed his hand to Jiang Changan and Li Shushen, and then said, "You tell me carefully." ”

If a place like Bamboo Village can really be turned into a blessed land due to disasters, then why can't it be otherwise?

If the two children don't agree, huh! And he could not kneel anymore.

This is not only the mayor of the town, but even Cheng Nan and a few people are slowing down, curious to listen, and there are some other table guests.

They seem to have heard something incredible, organic traders?

Cheng Dong is energetic now, and for a while Mr. Storyteller is possessed, and in the future, the ins and outs of the story will be frustrated, one after another.

How did Bamboo Village change from a dilapidated place to such a fresh and refined village of hope, and the villagers were so happy that they laughed a lot of teeth

In the end, the mayor suddenly got up and bowed to Jiang Chang'an, "Master Jiang Gaoyi, Zhang has thanked the villagers again." ”

Jiang Changan's body deviated slightly, dodged a few points, bowed back, and smiled sophisticatedly, "Mayor Zhang is polite, you know, I am also a scholar, and I can't escape the world after all."

All this is just for merit, and I hope that there will be some good colors in the political trial in the future. ”

Yes, it's all for fame, where are there so many noble souls, so don't look for her for things that don't benefit you.

Mayor Zhang was stunned, but he didn't expect Jiang Changan to tell the purpose, and she was going to take the imperial examination in the future? This favor is practiced, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she has been immersed in officialdom for many years.

This person is young, his mind is not simple, and his future achievements are probably limitless, the key is that she is still a girl, which is unusual.

Mayor Zhang was in awe in his heart, but what should be entrusted is still to trouble others, and those who can work harder.

"Alas, the folks in Bamboo Village are blessed, but people in other places are blessed.

It's all my fault that the mayor of the town has no ability, you see that the eaves are full of people, there is no place to live, nothing to drink, and I don't know how long I can last?

Don't be afraid of your jokes, the grain in the yamen has bottomed out, and this year's grain tax has not had time to collect it before it floods.

It's all my incompetence, which has affected the villagers. Mayor Zhang said, and wiped the corners of his tearless eyes with his soaked sleeves.

Jiang Chang'an's face was like no waves, and he could see the mayor's intentions at a glance, but this burden was too huge, and it would be difficult for her to pick it up?

It's not her responsibility in the first place, so if you really have to interfere more, just do it well, and don't you do it well? She is not familiar with Mayor Zhang, who will she reason with when she is bitten back?

"Alas, it's all natural disasters, who knew that such a thing would happen, I heard the old villagers say that the big water in this realm is also the first time, God this is not a way to live."

Jiang Changan sighed long, he was also worried, but he did not take the initiative to take responsibility.

"Who says it's not, I don't know if Master Jiang has a solution? Please help me to let the people survive this natural disaster, the old man will never forget his feelings, and will do his best to repay it.

Of course, if it happens, I will write a merit report, and if it doesn't, the responsibility and consequences will be borne by me, the mayor of the town, and it will not affect you.

Please ask Jiang Xiaoyou to help. Mayor Zhang bowed again and gave the greatest sincerity.

"Yes, Chang'an, if you have a way, help those poor people."

Cheng Nan sighed, not that he was soft-hearted, but in the face of natural disasters, he especially showed the weakness and powerlessness of people, unless there was no conscience, no one could not sympathize with those disaster victims.

"Well, let's go back and think about it, and then decide." Jiang Changan gestured to Li Shushen.

Of course, she has a way, but she also wants to refer to Li Shushen's opinion to check and fill in the gaps for herself to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

"Yes, yes, you've also gone the long way, and you really need to take a good rest before you can come up with a good idea.

Then rest and I'll come back tomorrow. As long as there is no complete refusal, there is still hope, and Mayor Zhang went back with interest.

And the people in Chengnan, who were full of food and drink, also got a large shop to live in.

They don't have money, and they definitely can't let a few children pay for their own housing, and it is a great kindness for the children to have a place to shelter from the rain.

Jiang Chang'an and the four of them asked for an upper room with a front and back room, at the price of two taels a day.

The four of them went back to the house and sat down, and Jiang Changan couldn't wait to ask, "Is there any good plan for Shushen?" ”

Li Shushen chuckled, "I saw that you didn't refuse on the spot, I think there is a way, right?" Are you worried that the mayor is unreliable? ”

Oh, was guessed by this kid, "That's right, it's not in its place, it's not in its business, who knows what will happen after the big package." ”

Good people usually don't have good news, haven't you heard of it? Jiang Changan didn't dare to shoot blindly.

"Your concerns are not wrong, so we don't take care of them all, just help.

The disaster relief process is nothing more than solving the problem of food and shelter for the victims.

Live in a place with your skills, you can casually build a house on the boundary of the land in a short time.

Eat it.." Li Shushen's fingers tapped on the table, Jiang Changan is the best at technology, and she can't conjure up food out of thin air.

So, "You probably want to build a boat that can move steadily in the flood and bring disaster relief supplies back somewhere else, right?" ”

In this way, the food and shelter of the victims can be solved.

Post-disaster construction is a different story.

Jiang Changan admired for a while, "That's what I thought, you are a roundworm in my stomach, right?" We're getting better and better. ”

The flood basically spread along the river, so there must not have been damage in the area near the big river, right? There must be food to come.

What they are currently lacking is a few good big ships.

Li Shushen snapped his fingers, and almost didn't hit Jiang Changan's little head, "Just partner, just forget about roundworms."

However, it occurred to me that maybe we wouldn't have to travel far to transport food, or the free kind. ”

Li Shu hooked his lips and smiled, it was very good-looking, "Two years ago, the previous county commander was dismissed and investigated for military rations.

The war in the northwest was tight, the internal strife in the imperial court was chaotic, the grain tax of the previous county order was levied, and the grain that was about to be transported to the border was manipulated and mixed with a large amount of sand and gravel.

This matter was seen by the military personnel who came to escort the grain and grass, and just when they were about to settle accounts with the county commander, the county commander unknowingly exchanged the grain back in a short period of time.

The grain containing sand is gone, and the intact food security is in the hands of the military.

But、It's such a capable and rich county order.,In the end, the case of embezzlement and corruption was finally beheaded.。 ”

This is the cruelty of officialdom, which has nothing to do with right or wrong, only about winning or losing.

The last prefectural order was just a victim of the struggle between the forces above.

Therefore, Li Shushen couldn't wait to get the power to protect him and Jiang Chang'an, as well as his official career in the future.

"You're saying that the sandy grain is nearby? Wasn't it flooded? Jiang Changan was transparent for a second.

"Yes, I don't know exactly where, but I've heard that the mountains near here shouldn't be flooded, right?

And I'm sure you'll be able to find it and sift through the sandy grain, right? ”

If it was Li Shushen, he would have to be able to find food for a long time, after all, in his previous life, he had only heard that the army of the Ten Princes had been forced into the nearby mountains for a few days.

But the huge army was not starved to death, and it was said that it was the grain that contained sand in the sand.

But now Jiang Chang'an's ability to see through is different.

And she's so good at making machines, it's not a problem to make a sieve machine, right?

This is Li Shushen's highest evaluation and recognition of Jiang Changan's technology.

"Okay, let's solve the problem of housing first, and then we will build a ship to transport grain, and then go out to find that batch of grain.

I'll just draw a drawing, thinking that there should be a lot of carpenters in a town, and let them build it at that time.

With so many victims, it is unrealistic to think of one house per household, so we will build a few large sheds to shelter from the wind and rain.

The structure is simple, mainly stable, the beams and columns are made of wood, and the face and wall are oilclothed, and it is convenient to remove them in the future.

Build a few more ships, and if you can't find that batch of food, you can let them go somewhere else to buy it first.

Let's talk about the sieve machine, one or two are enough. Jiang Changan said while drawing.

It was done very quickly.

A few people have been surprised, these things are very simple for Jiang Changan, they have been shocked several times, and now they have become chattering in every way.

The four of them had a good night's rest, and the next day, Mayor Zhang came to the inn before dawn and waited.

He was so anxious that the corners of his mouth were foaming, where could he sleep, otherwise he would not have pinned his hopes on a few children.

Jiang Changan was not ambiguous, got up early and went downstairs and handed over a stack of drawings to Mayor Zhang.

"This is the best way I can go, Mayor Zhang to see if it can be implemented?

I just have empty ideas, and in terms of manpower and material resources, I still need the mayor to find a way to recruit them. ”

Jiang Changan didn't say anything about the grain containing sand, they discussed it, and it was not too late to wait for the things to be found, otherwise they couldn't find it in the end, it was not an empty joy.

I don't know if others think they have something to do with the county order.

Mayor Zhang took the drawings and looked at them, and he was clear at a glance, and immediately understood what Jiang Changan meant.

It's just that I didn't expect that Jiang Changan would have such painting skills, she wouldn't be from the Ministry of Industry at home, right?

"Wonderful, this method is really high, our biggest problem today is that there is no place for the victims to live, and they are trapped in this square inch by the flood.

This kind of shed is good, the cost is not high, it is quick to build, and the victims can be properly resettled quickly. ”

It continued to rain, and the flood would not recede in a month or two, so it was necessary to build a shed.

The same goes for the food they eat, they have to buy it from outside, and they can't sit back and eat empty.

"This big ship is really good, I think it's a lot more advanced than the existing ships on the market.

This kind of good thing must be very popular with merchants, I don't know if Jiang Xiaoyou can mind, I will help you sell this shipbuilding technology.

While we can sell it for a good price, the timber we build the ship is also free.

The money belongs to Jiang Xiaoyou, and the boat built will still be yours in the future after solving this difficulty.

How is it? "I have to say that Mayor Zhang's approach is very decent.

Nonsense, can Jiang Changan's background be simple? I don't know which family came out to train.

Look, even the military people are not familiar with her, can such a character be provoked?

Mayor Zhang is transparent, otherwise he would not have been able to be a stable mayor after the fall of the previous county order.

"Okay, the mayor just needs to look at the arrangement. Let's take a look around again today and think about post-disaster construction.

Speaking of the disaster, the mayor of the town, my subordinate knows a little about medicine, so it is better to let her prescribe a cheap prescription and boil some medicine for the victims to drink.

Prevention of typhoid fever and plague.

The biggest problem in the aftermath of the disaster is the plague. ”

That's what they agreed on last night.

In this flood, some people were able to escape, but some could not, or died from other reasons.

Anyway, they often see some corpses floating in the river, and no one has the time to retrieve them, unless the flood waters subside.

"Jiang Xiaoyou said very much, I'm tired of the girl." The idea came to the mayor's mind, but he couldn't think much of it at the moment.

And there is no way to prevent the plague, alas, there are also many talents around the power.

Chen Dan, no, she is not a talent, the recipe is cheap and good, but I don't know if it can prevent the plague, I just listened to the girl's advice and played it casually.

However, the wind chill can definitely be prevented.

"Mayor Zhang, Master Jiang, I just heard you say that you want to build a ship, why don't you choose me?" At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a wealthy businessman stepped forward and politely bowed his hand to several people.

However, he was just a passing businessman, and Mayor Zhang was not very familiar with him, so he couldn't help frowning.

They openly talked about things in the lobby of the inn, in fact, in order to advertise the news and get some rich people to give some money.

Just didn't expect to catch a big fish?

"Oh? Do you know who this is? Mayor Zhang's shrewdness in his eyes immediately appeared.

Jiang Changan is not calculating, and he doesn't dare, but businessmen are different, no matter what background he has, he is always in business.

"In Mo Sheng, the second-in-command of the Mo caravan in Xiafu City, most of the goods in our caravan are transported by ship, and we also have our own shipbuilding workshop."

Mo Sheng was just curious, Mayor Zhang said that the drawings drawn by this little girl made the back of the boat better than the boats on the market, and he didn't believe it.

The Mo caravan is the down payment of the city, and in the past, he didn't pay attention to a little person like Mayor Zhang, but he wanted to see what kind of anti-sky drawings a little girl could draw in order to be called Master Jiang.

"Yo, it turned out to be the Mo caravan shopkeeper." Mayor Zhang didn't compliment either, how rich these people are, and they are indifferent when the flood is coming.

Not to mention automatic donations, Mayor Zhang asked for help when he arrived, and no one stood up to help, except for a few wealthy local households.

Since ancient times, businessmen have made heavy profits, and it is too common to watch the people live and die, and Mayor Zhang has no good impression of these people.

Look at Jiang Changan, who came up to help solve the problem, without hiding the slightest meaning, not to mention how much she loves the country and the people, but this is everyone's demeanor.

In the future, people will be officials in the future, and these businessmen will always be just businessmen.

Mayor Zhang also felt obediently, he only took out an overall plan to show Mo Sheng, with the intention of hanging his appetite and slaughtering fat sheep, "Then you can see if you can do it first."

Jiang Xiaoyou, if you have something to do, go and get busy first, I will handle the things here, and my subordinates will arrange for someone to take her to make a prescription to boil medicine and distribute it to the victims. ”

It's not good for Jiang Changan to see his calculating side, he is a caring mayor.

"Okay, everybody." Jiang Changan put on his robes and disappeared directly into the rain with Li Shushen and Qingfeng.

The three of them rode out of a small town and drove up the mountain, and on the head of the horse, Jiang Changan actually made a few hats when he was in Bamboo Village.

It's weird, the horse wears a hat for the first time, but, it's easy to use! The rain finally didn't flow into the horse's eyes, and the impact was realized, and I was finally able to run in the rain.

Several people walked slowly towards the path on the mountain, "It is said to be the north mountain of this town, but I don't know where it is." ”

Li Shushen shook the pot very shamefully, and he didn't feel how unreliable he was.

If it weren't for his master, Qingfeng would have to scold people, this is too embarrassing for the Chang'an girl, right? Does the master like people or not?

"We first climbed a mountain, and when we got inside, it was easy to find, and since the food disappeared overnight, it would not be too far to carry it.

Unless the county order moved again later, but at that time he should have no skills, it's not very likely. ”

Jiang Changan analyzed the situation at that time for a while, and was not discouraged.

Finally, after the path was finished, they entered the inside of the mountain, and in front of them were the vast mountains and rocks and trees, where were they going?

Qing Feng was dumbfounded, at this time he was quite suspicious of the IQ of the two children.

At this time, Jiang Changan pointed with his small hand, "There, on the concave side of the mountain, where the trees are covered, there is a cave."

The distance is a bit far, and if there is food in the cave, you have to get close to know it. ”

Qingfeng was dumbfounded again, "Girl, do you have ten thousand miles?" "How the hell did she see that there was a cave at such a distance?

Qing Feng was sure that his eyesight was definitely much better than that of ordinary people, but all he saw was gray and hazy rain and black and green mountains and rocks and trees.

Jiang Changan was speechless for a while, "Qingfeng, your arithmetic is not very good, from here to the mountain over there, there is only two or three miles at most." "It's still a winding mountain road, only two miles in diameter, right?

Li Shu pursed his lips and smiled, the little monster is not a thousand miles of eyes, but a perspective eye, "Let's go, go and see." ”
