Chapter 58

Mrs. Chu dragged Yun Ji along with him.

"teacher."

"Master Chu."

Su Xuning and Li Qing bowed to Xi Liji.

Four people stood by the river, and not far away, there was a group of yamen servants helping the villagers to carry things. Of course, they were ordered by Su Xuning to do so.

Just such a small matter is enough for the county magistrate to establish a tall image in the hearts of the people.

"Mother."

Li Qing gently rubbed Yun Ji's hair, and said, "This is the county magistrate."

Yunji saluted Su Xuning as a scholar, and said, "My lord." Then he whispered to Li Qing, "This is the chief examiner of the county examination."

"So you are Jiang Yun and the mother Jiang Li's family!" Su Xuning suddenly realized, "No wonder." It seems that a golden phoenix will fly out of this mountain nest! Su Xuning couldn't help but sigh.

"In the future, if you have any difficulties, you can go to the county government to find the official. As long as the official can do it reasonably, I can help you."

Su Xuning was obviously throwing an olive branch to Li Qing, and Li Qing accepted it without pretense.

"Thank you so much, sir. I have stood here for a long time. I would rather go to the woman's house to drink water. However, the flood is merciless and everything in the house is destroyed. The only thing I can drink is the thirst-quenching mountain spring." Li Qing smiled.

"No need, the house hasn't been repaired yet, so I don't want to bother you. If there is another chance in the future, I will visit Shilitang, and I will come to visit at home." Su Xuning did stand up for a long time, but because the Jiang family is all women, Bad reputation.

"Since that's the case, the little lady will stop bothering the lord with his work. If the lord has anything useful, feel free to mention it." Li Qing said.She didn't want to be polite with Su Xuning for a long time.

Su Xuning has the official air of being an official for many years, and Li Qing is a literati, so he feels very uncomfortable with Su Xuning's official air.

Although all the officials are literati these days, even the military officers who are three big and five rough can use words and ink when necessary.But this does not prevent Li Qing from disliking officialdom.

It is correct to say that everyone gathers firewood and flames burn high.Su Xuning's arrival obviously improved the Jiang family's status in the village, and the effect was immediate, which was reflected in the building of the house.The foundation was laid in three days, the walls were erected in six days, the beams were erected in one day, and the roof was built in four days.In just half a month, three wooden houses were built, complete with furniture and other items.

In order to prevent the house from cracking due to the wet wood, the villagers added another layer of bamboo on the outside of the wooden house.So from the outside, these three houses look like bamboo houses.When I went inside, I found that it was made of wood, and the roof was covered with silk thatch.

After the flood, there were no haystacks in the village, and no one burned tiles. Even if there were tiles, everyone couldn't afford them, so they had to build grass.

In addition to Jiang's house, several houses like this have been uprooted in the village. This is the fastest way to build a house.

The smiles on Jiang's face gradually increased as she looked at the more and more perfect house these days.Everyone is pleasing to the eye, I don't swear at others anymore, my legs don't hurt anymore, my waist doesn't hurt anymore, I feel great.

Naturally, Li Qing would not treat those who came to help him badly, and paid some wages in private.At this time, who will push and yell?Almost all of them put away the coins under Li Qing's three or two polite words.

Two months later, most of the households in the village have moved into new houses, and a small number are still under construction.

The crops that had been soaked by the flood for dozens of days last time were basically withered. The villagers sorted out the land in November and planted wheat, hoping to harvest spring wheat in the coming year.

There was nothing wrong with the mulberry tree, but the leaves were gone.Winter is approaching, and these mulberry branches will be cut off to grow again in the coming year.

The most pitiful thing is the silkworms raised in the village. Except for a few families who rescued some, the others were washed away by the flood.The silkworms in many people's homes have formed cocoons, and they are about to harvest a batch of silk, but it is a pity that God is merciless.

In the next one or two years, the living standard of the whole village will drop, it is so cruel.

Although the Jiang family had some foresight, they were not much better.

During those days on the mountain, Li Qing would teleport to Shangjing to buy medicines for the villagers from time to time. The family's savings of nearly 400 taels cost 80 taels.In addition, the recent construction of a house cost dozens of taels of silver.The rest of the silver is used to save Yunji's education and future, and the family is now struggling with food and clothing.

Li Qing and Jiang also volunteered to help households in the village rebuild their homes on a daily basis, but they have never found a chance to make money.

The loom was also broken and needed to be repaired. Fortunately, Jiang took the latest pair of embroidery with her, and the semi-finished embroidery was preserved.It's just that the silk fabrics on the loom are all ruined.

With Su Xuning's intervention, the village school was quickly rebuilt.Those who are able to send their children to study will send their children there again.I heard from Yunji that more than a dozen people did not go again. It seems that the family has been severely injured and cannot continue to go to school.

After returning to school in the village, Yunji was forcibly taken away by Mrs. Chu on the grounds that he could not do much for a seven-year-old kid.It's better to study hard and strive for a good ranking in the government examination next year.

Mrs. Jiang is very supportive of Mrs. Chi, she and Li Qing are two adults in the family.

After Shilitang was rebuilt, it finally regained some of the feeling it had before the disaster.

Li Qing doesn't know what's going on outside now, since the flood retreated, she hasn't teleported out to look at it again, she just stays in this small corner and concentrates on the restoration work.

As everyone knows, the outside world is now in chaos.

"Master Gu, the fever first started in Qixia Village, Chongxian County. That village was the worst flooded, and the whole village was almost dead. I thought I had already taken precautions, but who knew it would start to happen?" The fever gradually became contagious later on." The little official clasped his fists as he spoke, his voice became weaker and weaker.

Gu Xiangwan turned his back to the government officials: "Send someone to isolate immediately, and remember not to kill until the situation is not serious." Gu Xiangwan said.

"Yes." The clerk clasped his fists and saluted, then turned and left.

The anti-epidemic powder he prepared was already an enhanced version, but the epidemic still occurred, Gu Xiangwan blamed himself a little.

The most urgent task is to find out the source of the epidemic and try to solve it as soon as possible.

Gu Xiangwan immediately ordered the team of imperial physicians he had brought to stand ready and set off for Qixia Village, Chong County.Now that the disease has gradually spread to the surrounding villages of Qixia Village, it seems that the scope of isolation should be increased.

After Su Xuning learned about this incident, he ran around in a hurry. Although it didn't happen in Lexu County, it would spread if it was not complete.

The master said: "Now, we should sound the gongs and drums to spread the word, please pay attention to the movements on your own land, and absolutely not let the undeveloped land be infected with the disease."

"You're right, send the order down and contact the villages quickly."
