Contrary to what the officials had imagined, no rumors circulated among the people, who seemed more concerned about the emperor's situation in the disaster area.

Two days later, news of the Emperor's activities in the disaster area reached Luoyang. The Great Han Daily and the Royal Printing House immediately worked overtime to publish the Emperor's actions in the disaster area in the newspaper.

When the people saw that the emperor had personally led his soldiers on foot into the disaster area and had been rescuing the victims for several days without sleep, they were overjoyed.

Countless young students took to the streets to loudly proclaim the emperor's brilliance and greatness.

"Even if we are to fight against the Han, we can still win!"

Such a powerful speech and such an imposing emperor stirred the hearts of countless young people, who then developed an extreme admiration for him.

Many fervent followers even declared: "The current emperor is a great emperor for all time!"

Unlike the students, the common people cared more about the emperor's words that he stood with them.

As the Son of Heaven, Your Majesty is willing to defy Heaven for their sake. How can this not move people?

That is why no fool would dare to spread rumors detrimental to the emperor at this time.

Like Liu Hong, Chen Fan and the court officials also began preparations for the post-disaster reconstruction of Zhao County.

Immediately afterwards, the Ministry of Works issued dozens of conscription orders, summoning craftsmen from all over the country to go to the disaster area to help the affected people rebuild their homes. In a short time, many people responded to the call.

At the same time, Zhao Zhong also summoned the twenty member families under the Royal Merchant Guild and began to organize manpower to go to Zhao County to start building factories and workshops.

Naturally, seeing the Royal Merchant Guild's move, the wealthy merchants in the Sili region who were eager to join the Royal Merchant Guild followed suit.

Soon, one team after another, carrying large amounts of money, food and supplies, rushed to Zhao County.
