At first he did as he was told and found some simple houses for the villagers to live in.
Later, the imperial court allocated a lot of food for disaster relief. Since their place was under the emperor's feet, the food was delivered to them as soon as possible.
He started to be greedy again and replaced the rice allocated by the court with old rice and coarse rice to use for porridge.
In this way, he earned a lot of money, and the people had enough to eat, so they didn't care what kind of rice their porridge was made of.
Natural disasters and man-made disasters occurred one after another, and floods and plagues came together, making the people miserable and unable to make a living, making it even more impossible for him to make money.
Princess Jiahui sent blueprints for building an isolation area, food, masks and protective clothing.
The entire Jin Dynasty was fighting the plague, and he did not dare to be negligent. After all, it was a matter of life and death.
He himself was afraid of contracting the plague. His life had just begun and he couldn't die like this.
He reluctantly gave up the silver to build an isolation area and summoned the county doctors to treat the plague according to the prescription given by the princess.
The plague was quickly brought under control, but there was no profit to be made in the entire Heshan County.

There were so many villagers left homeless that they could not get any money or food and could only starve to death.
The imperial court allocated money and asked local officials to help the people rebuild their homes.
Along with the money came the blueprints. Yang Qianshan felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he sold the blueprints to the villagers at a high price.
Some village chiefs are kind-hearted. They ask the villagers to pool their money and buy blueprints collectively, and then everyone builds their own houses.
Many wealthy businessmen, large families, and landlords bought the drawings from Yang Qianshan at high prices.
Yang Qianshan made a huge sum of money by using the drawings.
Those villagers who cannot afford to build houses can only live on the streets in county towns and villages.
