The Duke of Huguo and his family stayed there. The rain continued to fall, and the water level in the river reached the danger line. Li Yun asked the villagers to evacuate safely.
Ma Youcai also asked the constables to go to the village and help the villagers in the low-lying areas evacuate safely and gather them in the courtyard of the county town.
Li Yun asked Zhu Yanduan and others to take people to the nearby villages to help the villagers gather in Dongnan Town.
As early as a few days ago, a lot of yards had been purchased in Southeast Town.
There were also wealthy businessmen and landlords who donated many vacant courtyards, which would be returned to them after the flood.
Resettled the villagers and distributed food to them.
Li Yun had people purchase these grains from other places early in the morning to prepare for the villagers.
Since everyone lives together, conflicts of one kind or another are bound to arise.
"Master, many villagers are making trouble?" Changjiang came over and said to Li Yun.
"Where is it? What's the trouble?" Li Yun knew that there would definitely be quarrels in places where there were many people, so she was prepared.
"In the resettlement compound in the east of the town, several villagers started a disturbance because the food supply and living quarters were too small," Changjiang said.
"Let's go and take a look." After Li Yun finished speaking, he walked out of the yard, got on the carriage, and waited for Changjiang to drive the carriage.
After Changjiang got on the horse, he rode to the east of the town.
In the matter of resettling the villagers, Li Yun and the emperor and others discussed and decided: a small village with people from five villages living in a three-courtyard house.
A large village consists of four people living in a three-courtyard house. The people living there will definitely feel crowded and not as comfortable as at home.
"Why is the place you arranged for us more spacious? There are dozens of us squeezed into five rooms, which is not enough for us to live in." Li Yun just came to the outside of the yard and heard some villagers arguing.
"Why? Of course it's because we have more people, so the place we live in must be bigger.
These were all arranged by the princess's people. If you have any opinions, please report them." said the Taoshui Village chief.
"I don't care. We can't accommodate you. You must move me." The villagers of Qingshui Village continued to make trouble unreasonably.
"I wonder who dares to cause trouble in my territory?" Li Yun stepped into the second courtyard and heard those arrogant words, and he scolded them without any hesitation.
"Greetings, Princess!" The villagers who came in from the second entrance were so frightened when they saw Li Yun that their legs and feet went weak, and they immediately knelt down to pay their respects.
"Everyone stand up!" said Li Yun.
"Thank you, Princess!" The villagers all stood up timidly, feeling fearful and nervous.
"Tell me? What's going on?" Li Yun asked the village chiefs of the two villages regardless of the villagers' expressions.
"My Lord, the situation is this: there are too many of us to be placed here, and the villagers of Qingshui Village are jealous. They say our place is spacious and they want to exchange with us.
"Our place is large, but there are also many people living there. They saw that Uncle Liu's family lived in a spacious house. Their son, Xiao Zhuzi, was ill and had a persistent cough. To help him recover soon, our village decided to vacate a room for them to live in, and we would squeeze in ourselves," explained Liu Yihu, the village chief of Taoshui Village.
"Is this the case?" Li Yun asked the head of Qingshui Village.
“This, this, is not entirely true.
Ergouzi from our village was indeed causing trouble because he felt unbalanced when he saw that his fellow villagers lived in one room, while ours was so crowded that there was no place to move around.
In addition, Village Chief Liu said that he vacated a room to help his villagers recover as soon as possible.
"But the rooms they were crammed into were better and more spacious than ours, which sparked their resentment and led them to cause trouble," the Qingshui Village chief explained.
"Some courtyards are big, some are small, and the same goes for rooms. It's impossible to accommodate you fairly.
Do you know what it looks like outside?
There are still many villagers who cannot be resettled. You have a roof over your head, a place to live, and food to eat, but you still complain.
This time, since you are the first offender, if you lead the trouble again, you will be driven out and find a place to live on your own. This princess will not wait for you.
I say again, if any villagers cause trouble and their village chief doesn't deal with them properly, I will drive the entire village out and let them fend for themselves. This princess has no reason to accommodate you. Think carefully." Li Yun scolded without any politeness.
"You can't ignore us. We are your people and you have the right to control us." said Ergouzi, who had just caused trouble.
“You are right, so this princess will arrange for you to live here and provide you with food and accommodation.
If you don't make trouble and obey the arrangements, you will have good food and accommodation.
If you cause trouble, I'm sorry, but this princess has no need to accommodate you. You'll have to take care of yourself." Li Yun hated moral kidnapping the most. Qingshan County was her fiefdom, and the people of Qingshan County were her subjects.
If they were obedient, they would be her good subjects. Otherwise, she would deal with them without mercy. She never thought she was so saintly that she would let them do whatever they wanted.
"Also, this princess hates moral kidnapping the most, I hope you will keep this in mind.
Qingshan County is just my fiefdom, and you are just my subjects, not my relatives. Please always remember this." Li Yun continued angrily.
"Village Chief Liu, please take us to see where Xiao Zhuzi of your village lives." Thinking of the cough, Li Yun was worried that it might be a plague.
"Okay, Princess, please follow me." Village Chief Liu took Li Yun and Changjiang to their place to find the room where Uncle Liu lived.
"Wait a minute, let's take precautions before we go over." Li Yun thought it might be a plague, so she had to wear a mask before going over.
She took out three masks from her sleeves, gave one to Changjiang, one to the village chief, and she wore one herself.
The three of them put on their masks before continuing forward.
"Village chief, didn't our people tell us to report any cough or fever immediately?
Why didn't you report Xiao Zhuzi's cough in your village? Li Yun hadn't dared to leave her place for a while, fearing that some villagers would become unwell so she could isolate them in time to prevent the spread of the plague.
However, there was no news of any villagers falling ill, so we thought the plague had not yet arrived.
"I'm sorry, Princess. I thought he just caught a cold and it was nothing serious, so I didn't report it." Village Chief Liu explained anxiously.
At that time, he just thought that Xiao Zhuzi caught a cold because he was in a hurry and got caught in the rain, and it was not a big deal.
Now, listening to the princess's rebuke, he felt uneasy, fearing that his own self-righteousness would lead to a disaster.
"You'd better hope that he catches a cold. If it's the plague, you'd better be prepared to go to jail or be executed." Li Yun said seriously.
She was not exaggerating. If Xiao Zhuzi really had the plague, everyone in this courtyard would have to be quarantined, and even Southeast Town would have to be closed.
Soon, they arrived at the room where Xiao Zhuzi lived. Xiao Zhuzi kept coughing, and his family was worriedly serving him.
When Li Yun heard the cough, he knew it was the plague.
She took out a pair of gloves from her sleeve, put them on, asked everyone to leave the small pillar, and went forward with the gloves on to take his pulse.
It was called a pulse check, but in fact, Li Yun used the machine in the space to examine Xiao Zhuzi. Looking at the data displayed on the machine, "Plague!"
