Luo Zheng took everything with him and hurried away.

……

Feng Wu handed his father an urgent recital, putting what he saw and heard on paper, hoping that his father would send competent officials as soon as possible to distribute repairs and severely punish the officials who fled.

Just as Feng Wu's expedited recital arrived, Luo Zheng also arrived with something. handed everything to the emperor, and the emperor immediately wrote down the holy decree after reading it, posted the emperor's list, and announced it to the world......

Seven days later, sure enough, many of the victims entered the city, and the officials who were bullying the people heard that the emperor had given an order, and if the victims entered the city, they would be removed from their posts, and they were also sent to supervise the governors. So, one by one, they all clamped their tails and became officials, and took out money and soup porridge and cloth......

After more than a month, the flood waters receded completely, and the officials and supplies needed from Qianqiu arrived in Jiangnan. After all, there is a limit to what Feng Wu can do, and it is a matter of time before the affected areas of Jiangnan want to recover.

After the flood, Jiang Jiujiu and his entourage were about to return to Beijing, and when they left the city, the people who saw them off at the city gate were discharged for several miles.

But on the way to the capital, what I saw and heard was extremely miserable......

The raging flood swept away the houses in the small mountain villages, and all the villages and towns along the rivers were flooded, and as far as the eye could see, the country was full of collapsed houses, grain fields were destroyed, and the hard-earned rice was about to be harvested, but it was drowned by the merciless flood.

There was chaos, and there was no longer the good scene that used to be. In the distance, a middle-aged woman stared at the flood in front of her and called out for a child. The so-called fire and water are ruthless, and the flood comes so mightily and miserably......

Such a scene can't help but remind Jiang Jiujiu of a poem "Little Village".

There are many villages in Huaikuo Prefecture, and the thorny fence is sparse and misleading.

The cold chicken has to eat and call for his companionship, and the old man still hugs his grandson without clothes.

The wild boat bird only breaks the cable, and the dry mulberry water bites only the dangerous roots.

As soon as the livelihood is like this, it is fallen.

……

"In the aftermath of the floods, although the materials are in place, the defensive measures still need to be prepared. In case of the plague! Jiang Jiujiu looked at the scenery outside the car window and said.

"Don't worry, these have been prepared for a long time." Huang Puyi said.

"I also know that I am worried, after all, the affected area is too large, the population is large, and the materials are limited, not everyone can be fed, clothed, and treated." Jiang Jiujiu continued.

"What are you worried about?" Feng Wu asked.

"The plague has happened! Those animals that died in the flood, piled together, are prone to disease, and if someone can't stand the hunger, after eating those. It will spread with the disease, and once the plague spreads, it will be out of control......"

“……”

“……”

Huang Puyi and Feng Wu fell silent after listening to Jiang Jiujiu's words, they only thought that the supplies were in place and would help many people, but they didn't think about the farther away, if it was really as September said. When someone eats the carcasses of animals that died in the flood, the disease spreads, and if it spreads, it will affect the entire city.

……

After walking for a few more days, Jiang Jiujiu and his party finally arrived in the capital, thinking that they could rest assured, but what Jiang Jiujiu was worried about still happened. Suddenly, there was an outbreak of plague in a town, and since some people had already left the town, the plague slowly began to spread within the confines of the city.
