Huo Jinqian touched her for a while, then quickly withdrew his hand, covered Gao Zhijun with the quilt, and went out.
Gao Zhijun only dared to open her eyes when she heard the door close. At this moment, she was beating so hard, thinking about what had just happened, her face looked like a cooked shrimp.
The rain was getting heavier, like a downpour.
State government office.
The prefect looked at the heavy rain outside the window and felt a little uneasy.
When I saw the heavy rain yesterday, I was so excited that I wanted to kneel down and pray to the sky that it finally rained.
The drought and the scorching sun have caused countless people to die of thirst.
Now that it has rained heavily for a day and a night, the land is already moist enough and no more rain is needed.
But looking at the weather, the heavy rain seemed unwilling to stop, which made him start to worry.
The prefect of Liangzhou, surnamed Chu, was a native of Xuzhou. Originally from the countryside, he aspired from a young age to cultivate a heart for heaven and earth, a life for the people, to carry on the lost teachings of the ancient sages, and to bring peace to the world. He studied diligently, ultimately achieving the third place in the imperial examinations and being appointed an official to the court. During his time in office, he remained true to his original aspirations, wholeheartedly serving the people. Within five years, he rose to the position of prefect. He was selfless and dedicated to his work, maintaining a clean record and setting an example for his subordinates. During his tenure, he severely punished corrupt officials, bribery, bullying, and bullying of men and women.
“Sir, it has rained, which is a good thing. The people will no longer be without water.
Why do you look so troubled?"
The lawyer came over and saw the prefect frowning and looking at the rain outside, looking very worried. He was very puzzled.
The severe drought this year lasted for more than half a year. The land has become cracked and the crops in the fields have not been harvested at all.
Many people fled from famine and fled to Liangzhou Prefecture. The officials opened the granaries to provide food, built sheds for the people in front of the city gates so that they could have a place to live, and provided porridge twice a day so that the people could survive.
During the famine, which officials truly cared about the people and worked wholeheartedly for them?
Those officials, under the banner of serving the people, are either making money or selling dog meat under the guise of mutton. They are all pretending to do things but harming the people.
Only his master really cared about the people. The granary in the state capital had little left and would soon be unable to support the people. For the sake of the people, the master began to live frugally and work hard, and the officials under him had to set an example.
Therefore, the officials below complained and had many opinions about the adults.
"Rain is a good thing, but if it keeps raining it becomes a bad thing."
Prefect Chu was still looking outside with concern.
"No way. It just rained for a day and a night, it should be fine."
The master was also infected, and he was a little worried looking at the heavy rain outside.
"Tell me, how long will this rain last? Will it stop and clear up tomorrow?"
Prefect Chu asked his advisor with a heavy heart.
"I don't know either. Judging by the intensity of the rain, I'm afraid it won't stop anytime soon. I wonder how many people will die this time."
The lawyer was also in a heavy mood. He was looking forward to the rain so hard that it would moisten the land and bring a good harvest next year.
If the heavy rain continues and the river overflows, I wonder how many people will be drowned.
Doesn’t God give the people a way to survive? Instead, he wants to kill them all and let them die of thirst and drowning?
Oh, God—it's unfair! This is none of my business. This is the law of nature, and it's irreversible. If you want to blame someone, blame the incompetence of you human leaders, your inability to solve the problems of the people and change the laws of nature.
"I wonder how the people outside are doing? Let's go out and take a look."
After the prefect finished speaking, he walked out of the government office. The legal advisor went to arrange a carriage and took the officials and the prefect to the city gate to check on the situation of the refugees.
Tongfu Inn.
Gao Zhijun stood at the door of the inn, looking at the heavy rain outside, feeling worried.
Looking at this horrible weather, it won’t stop for more than ten days or half a month.
I wonder how many houses this heavy rain will destroy and how many people and poultry will be drowned.
This is not the worst thing, the worst thing is the plague.
No matter which dynasty, the plague could not be cured, and the only way was to massacre the city.
Although she has a way to cure the plague, she cannot take care of the whole world.
"What are you so obsessed with?"
Huo Jinqian came to her side, but she was completely unaware. She just stood there in a daze with a heavy face.
Gao Zhijun turned around and glanced at Huo Jinqian, then fixed her gaze on the heavy rain outside and said quietly, "When do you think this rain will stop? How many people will be left homeless and their families broken?
Why doesn’t God give the people a way out?
Although I know that this is an irreversible law of nature, I still feel uncomfortable when I think that people will die because of this law of nature.
Everyone who comes into this world should have the right to live and should not be slaughtered at will."
Thinking back to my previous life, natural disasters were uncontrollable and would kill many people, but the government would take countermeasures to minimize the disasters.
Do those in power here care about the people?
Will officials consider the people?
Gao Zhijun didn't hold much hope for this.
After all, people in ancient times were selfish and believed that if you don’t work for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth.
Feudal society does not treat people as human beings. In the minds of those in power, there are no human rights, only slaves.
Huo Jinqian felt bad when he saw her sad expression. He didn't expect that she would be such a broad-minded person.
If she were a man, she would definitely be the best official because she has the world in her heart.
"Don't worry. Since it is a natural law, we can't change it and there is nothing we can do."
