Chapter 134: Disaster
"Oh......" the two sighed and ran out of the city. Looking at Jiang Jiu's back from afar, he shouted loudly: "Eldest sister, you have to come back safely!" ”
……
The territory of the Holy Dragon Empire is too long and wide, spanning the north and south, and the weather is getting warmer and warmer for more than ten days, so they have to change into light clothes. So to help the victims, they didn't bring anything except two coachmen, a team of escorts and relief food, daily silver, and clothes.
The road is long and they are inevitably a little tired from rushing every day, but they also deliberately avoid the crowds and take the less pedestrianized paths, although they are bumpy, but safer. Thankfully, they didn't encounter robbers, and when they arrived in Jiangnan, the scenes in front of them were terrifying.
Although they had been prepared before they came, they did not want to be so miserable, the bones were everywhere, many of them were rotting and stinking, and the people on the roadside were in tattered clothes and covered with dirt. The doors of the shops were closed, and the streets were muddy from the water that had just receded. There are also many ruins of washed out houses. After walking a few steps, someone crawled over, grabbed Jiang Jiujiu's ankle, Huangpu Yi protected her in front of her, and walked forward slowly with her air conditioner fully turned on.
Everywhere I went, I was devastated.
"This ...... This...... This flood, how could it be so miserable, didn't anyone come out to clean up the mess? Feng Wu looked at such a scene, and his heart was complicated and difficult to express in words.
"Go to the restaurant and see if there's anyone?" Jiang Jiujiu pointed to the shop not far away. A coachman stepped over the man lying across the ground and knocked on the door of the restaurant.
"What about this officer? Does no one care? ”
"There was a heavy rain before, so he ran away and left with the grain of the whole county." An old woman sighed.
"Dog officer." His clenched fists were bruised, but now was not the time to be angry, he bent down to help the old woman and went back to the carriage to carry the grain.
"Second prince, prince, this store can give food."
Feng Wu, Huang Pu Yi, two coachmen, and the guys in the store carried the food to the restaurant together. In this way, they arranged accommodation for five consecutive days, and when Jiang Jiu and them came to rest, it was late at night almost every night.
Most of the people left in the land were old men, women, and children, and most of the young and strong fled to other places. On this day, the wind was strong, and the inn at the city gate was on the high side, and the doors and windows creaked. This wind must be followed by another heavy rain.
"Now the situation here has also been seen, flooded and destroyed a lot of houses, and then it rained for a few days, what do you say The embankment has been repaired countless times, if the embankment is washed away this time, then not only Jiangzhou will be affected, but it will destroy several places in a row. Now the harvest in Jiangzhou is gone. The little supplies we brought with us aren't enough, so what should we do?" Feng Wu said worriedly.
"It seems that I have to write a letter to the emperor to increase supplies." Huang Puyi nodded in response.
"Luo Zheng! Pen and ink scouts. ”
"Yes!"
"Wait for me." Jiang Jiujiu turned around and walked into the room, thinking that being a soldier was to protect the people, but now she couldn't do anything, she had read a lot of history books, and it would be very terrible if there was a famine. So Jiang Jiujiu accelerated his speed to draw a map of water control.
After the drawing, they took out the drawings and gave them them, and the three of them looked shocked after looking at the composition.
Jiang Jiujiu said lightly, but there was a trace of worry in his tone, and said to the emperor, "After repairing the dam, go up to 1, and plant trees."
2. Reinforced embankments in the midstream
3. Dredging the river downstream
In the end, the tax was reduced for two years, and then two silver were allocated for disaster relief. Prepare more medicines to beware of the plague, send henchmen to supervise them, prevent corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and open the city gates to welcome the people who are displaced to various places. If an official drives out the victims, beats them, and dismisses them. Reward for helping disaster victims and helping people. ”
"Luo Zheng! Take these fast horses back to the capital and hand them over to the emperor. ”
"Yes!"
Luo Zheng took everything with him and hurried away.
