I feel a little weak. I guess I haven't had enough rest or food recently.

"Is there blood down there? Are you still feeling a dull pain in your stomach?" Yu Yuanzheng asked.

"Well, a little. I just asked the doctor to see me and he prescribed some medicine. But the herbs are in short supply right now and I can't get all the ingredients in the prescription. I'm boiling it now." Hua Xiangling was very calm and not panicked at all.

Yu Yuanzheng saw a piece of paper on the bedside, took it and took a look, it was a common pregnancy-preserving medicine, but the effect was not very good.

"Chaxiang, pour one of the pregnancy-preserving pills from my medicine box for the county lady to take." Yu Yuanzheng ordered.

This was something she brought specially for Hua Xiangling. It was the best thing in her shop.

I was just worried that something might happen to her, but I didn't expect it to really happen.

"I'll give you another injection to stop the bleeding and consolidate your health.

It's not serious, you have a good health. You must be careful next time. If you have a miscarriage, you won't be so lucky if you have another miscarriage.

When you get hurt, there will always be some marks left. That's the truth.

Do you remember it?"

Yu Yuanzheng explained warmly.

"Okay, now that you're here, I feel relieved. From now on, I will just take care of the pregnancy and not worry about anything else. With you, the guardian of the country, here, there is no need for me to run around." Hua Xiangling was very obedient and smiled brightly.

She also cares about this child.

She was only twenty-three years old. Other people’s children were already six or seven years old, but she had just gotten pregnant.

Today was just an accident.

"Not only am I here, but my husband is here too."

"That's even better. People like us can hopefully return to normal life soon.

Alas, so many good farmlands were destroyed by the flood. My husband sent people to the countryside to check, and except for a small part of the crops in the slightly higher places, most of them were washed away by the flood. "

Hua Xiangling sighed again.

With such a severe disaster, we don’t know what to eat from this month to the beginning of next spring.

"Don't worry about these later. For now, just take good care of your baby. It's best if you come back to Beijing with us, otherwise your mother will be very worried."

"No, I'm not going to Beijing. I want to supervise my husband and see how he governs Jiangqing County."

"You are still so straightforward. Be careful that your children will follow your example in the future."

"It's good to learn from me. Don't you think that my personality makes me live more freely and follow my heart?" Hua Xiangling didn't think there was anything wrong with her.

"I can't argue with you. I'll keep this bottle of medicine for you. You can take it for three more days at most. You only need one pill a day. If you feel uncomfortable, remember to come to me at any time. I'll be busy now."

"Um."

The two chatted for a while, and Yu Yuanzheng organized a medical consultation for Mr. Qi just like in the previous stop.

Several guards became Yu Yuanzheng's biggest helpers.

There are many people with the surname Xiao here, and even more people are sick due to the disaster.

In addition to colds, there is also dysentery.

The breeding of mosquitoes makes various diseases spread faster.

Yu Yuanzheng asked Zhuyue to bring several disciples from the foot of the mountain here.

The medicinal materials they brought were also gathered here.

An epidemic control is underway.

Shangguan Ziqi helped Miao Bingwen clean up the county town.

"Sir, the biggest problem in the county is that the water has not receded."

"Have you ever observed where is the most suitable place to dredge the water?" Shangguan Ziqi had just arrived and was not very familiar with the local terrain.

"I know, but the project is quite large and I can't organize everyone in the city to dig it.

Moreover, now the people of surname Zhou don’t even have enough food to eat, and they try every way to survive every day, but they have no energy at all.

I don’t know when the imperial court will send aid, and I can only use the little food in the granary sparingly, and eat porridge every day.”

Miao Bingwen also felt powerless.

Shangguan Ziqi also understood.

Even if the imperial court sends people to rescue now, it is impossible to solve all the problems. We still have to rely on the local people to work together.

"Then pick out some strong and strong people, feed them, and give them some wages, so that they can drain the accumulated water in the county and let the people return home first. They can't keep living on the exposed mountain." Shangguan Ziqi suggested.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

The two of them discussed it and started to go in separately.

When the young and strong heard that they could be fed and paid, even if the pay was only ten cents a day, many of them signed up.

In order to clean up the county as quickly as possible, Miao Bingwen hired all the applicants.

There are actually more than 2,000 people.

The county town was the main disaster-hit area, while in the countryside only the crops were washed away. Only a few flimsy houses of the local people collapsed due to the rain, but most of the people were fine.

The rescue work officially began.

With the arrival of Shangguan Ziqi and Yu Yuanzheng, everything went on in an orderly manner.

As supplies continued to arrive, people gradually returned to normal life.

Yu Yuanzheng also brought the epidemic under control.

However, the Wei Dynasty’s food reserves were also exhausted, and the emperor had no choice but to seek help from Southern Shu.

A lot of food was bought from Southern Shu for emergency use.

The people brought out by the imperial envoy were assigned to various places to assist local officials, as well as the imperial physician and Yu Yuanzheng's disciples.

It made things go a lot more smoothly.

The imperial envoy was Yu Yun's son, and all the officials in the prefectures knew that the money for disaster relief was provided by the Lord of the Nation, so no one dared to act rashly.

The disaster was gradually brought under control.

In early September, Yu Yuanzheng and Shangguan Ziqi arrived in Hongchang County, only about a mile from the seaside.

This place is close to the estuary and was not seriously affected by the flood, but it was severely affected by the wind. The crops were blown down by the wind and the harvest was reduced by at least half.

The weather this morning is the cruelest in decades.

They came here just to investigate and report to the emperor.

But when they just entered the county town, they saw a group of strange people being escorted to the county government office by a group of yamen runners.

These people are all tall, more than a head taller than the average person with the surname Zhou. When they walk on the road, they stand out from the crowd.

Their hair colors are different: some are brown, like dead leaves in autumn; some are red, like burning flames; and some are golden, reflecting light in the sun.

His eyes were even more eye-catching, as blue as the deep sea, completely different from the dark eyes of the people of Wei. His eyebrows were thick and slender, and his eye sockets were deep.

The facial contour is deep and three-dimensional, the high nose bridge is as straight as a knife, the cheekbones are prominent, the jawline is clear, and the skin is fair.

They looked a little disheveled, but you could still tell the fabric was exquisite.

It was the first time Shangguan Ziqi had seen such a person, and he was so shocked that his eyes widened.

He had never thought that there were such strange people in the world.

The guards who followed were no less impressive.

Along the way, many people with the surname Zhou also stopped to watch, but none of them dared to get close.

Staring intently at the group of people walking by, whispering.

"Dad, are they human?" a little child asked his father who was holding his hand.

"It should be a person." The child's parents also looked curiously at the people they had never seen before walking past them.

"But why are they different from us? They look like the monsters on the stage."

"I don't know, maybe they really are ghosts from somewhere." His father had never seen one either.

"Ah, will they eat people?" The child looked scared and leaned close to his father's legs.

Yu Yuanzheng was also very surprised. Why were there foreigners here?

"Madam, have you ever seen such a person?" Shangguan Ziqi was also curious.

Yu Yuanzheng pulled the reins of his horse and followed the team of foreigners being escorted.

Although they were dressed in rags, each of them had an excited look on their face. They kept looking around, full of curiosity about everything around them.

"I have seen them. They should have come from the other side of the sea. Let's just call them foreigners." Yu Yuanzheng said that of course he had seen them in his previous life.

Shangguan Ziqi's eyes fixed after hearing this.

He had heard his wife talk a lot about the afterlife, and he also knew that there were many kinds of people in this world, but he had never seen one.

䀴Today was the first time he had seen it in his life.

Indeed, they are completely different from the people of Wei.

Although these foreigners were escorted by yamen runners, they showed no fear at all. Instead, they acted as if they were sightseeing, pointing at the shops and signs on the street and exclaiming in amazement from time to time.

The most eye-catching person was the blond man in the lead. He was tall, wearing a tattered coat and carrying a bulging backpack.

His eyes were a rare deep blue, and at this moment they were flashing with excitement. He looked around all the way, and occasionally whistled at the onlookers.

"Madam, they seem very happy?" Shangguan Ziqi asked doubtfully.

Yu Yuanzheng nodded: "Well, let's follow him and see."
