As soon as I went out, I saw that there were already quite a few people on the road.
The eldest son of the old village chief and his sons were knocking on doors from house to house:
"Hurry up and repair the house while the rain stops!"
Several families’ houses had collapsed before.
At this moment, Song Yun brought Feng Yang and a group of villagers, divided into several groups, to help those people repair their houses.
As for the people from those families, when their houses collapsed, they were helped by the village chief's family to move to other houses to shelter from the rain.
I don’t know if it will rain again.
So, we had to repair the house first.
It would be great if it could be repaired before the next rain.
Several brothers of the Xin family also immediately joined in.
Everyone worked together and built a simple hut in less than a day.
Fortunately, it didn't rain again after that.
Unfortunately, the seeds that had just been planted in the ground have now been washed away by the water.
Once the land is dry, we have to plant seeds again.
But it was too late by then.
I don’t know if this year’s harvest can be guaranteed.
A rain makes people feel heavy in their hearts.
When I met someone on the road, I just said hello and passed by.
For farmers, this rain is nothing more than a minor disaster.
But for the wealthy people in the county, it is just a pleasure.
Some people even enjoyed the rain and wrote poems under the corridor.
They say, "A good rain knows when to fall," "Thunder sends earth worth a fortune," and "Withered grass grows new after a rain."
But no one knows how many homes this rain has destroyed and how many farmers' hopes for the whole year have been ruined.
For more than a month, the villagers of Xiaoyang Village looked forward to working in the fields every day.
When the ground was half dry, they couldn't wait to get down to the ground.
They can't wait any longer.
Summer is almost over.
If it is too late, the seeds will not rot in the ground, but they will not germinate.
Song Yun left Qinghe County on the fifth day after the rain.
Because Qinghe County is lucky.
In southern areas like Ganzhou, the rain has not stopped and has now become a disaster.
The Yellow River burst its banks.
As the imperial envoy and regent, he must arrive in time.
Xin Guoguo still travels between the county town and the village every day.
One day, the price of grain in the county suddenly increased.
Before this, Xin Guoguo would buy food every day when she came back.
There are already quite a few piled up at home now.
At first, everyone in the Xin family didn't understand why she did this.
Old Lady Xin had reminded the other families and the entire village.
Unfortunately, except for a few scattered families, almost no one believed what Old Lady Xin said.
After autumn, the price of grain changes every day.
The Xin family was extremely grateful.
Even though they didn't believe what Old Lady Xin said at first, they still expressed their support because of the intimidation from her.
Anyway, you have to buy food sooner or later.
The news that Xin Guoguo brought back every day included information about grain prices in the county.
By October, many people fleeing famine had begun to flock to Qinghe County.
The new county magistrate was a Jinshi in the previous exam. After realizing this problem, he ordered people to close the city gates quickly.
However, it was still too late.
Among the refugees entering the city, some were sick.
An epidemic suddenly began to spread throughout Qinghe County.
County Magistrate Liu Shouren gathered people and settled the refugees in the south of the city.
In addition, a place was set aside inside to accommodate people who were infected with the epidemic.
After three days of strict investigation, the epidemic was finally brought under control in the south of the city.
But all the doctors in the county were called up, but no one could solve the current situation.
In mid-October, the south gate of Qinghe County remained closed, and refugees outside the city began to take detours.
In November, epidemics broke out in twelve counties along the way, from Ganzhou to Qinghe County.
Song Yun was still in Ganzhou at this time, and he strictly ordered the Ganzhou prefect to close the city gates and not allow anyone to leave.
There was even an order that the remaining counties should set up special areas to collect the refugees and not allow them to continue moving north.
December.
The refugees were completely gathered in Shangdang County, north of Qinghe County.
But on the day they gathered them, they killed all the refugees and threw them into a pit and burned them.
Once this incident happened, it immediately caused a shock in the court.
The victims who had been living safely in other counties and even in Ganzhou City rose up in resistance.
The situation between the imperial court and the disaster victims was tense and could explode at any time, leading to irreversible consequences.
On this day, a prescription was quietly announced.
In the twelve counties from south to north, everyone, from children to the elderly, seemed to have a prescription engraved in their minds overnight.
They obviously don't understand medicine.
But on this day, I suddenly got to know medicinal herbs such as Astragalus and Codonopsis.
Three days later, the epidemic disappeared as suddenly as it came.
Seven days later, after making sure everyone was well, the shelters in various places were finally fully reopened.
End of December.
The victims began to return home.
Post-disaster reconstruction in Ganzhou is in full swing.
By the end of January.
The whole Ganzhou has been completely renewed.
Song Yun finally left Ganzhou and continued to head south.
At this time, after half a year of fermentation, Xin Guoguo's craftsmanship had spread throughout Qinghe County.
Even people in Youzhou Prefecture had heard of her reputation and sent people to invite her.
Zhirong and several other children are now studying in a private school in the county.
As for the two little nieces, Xin Guoguo takes care of them and they study every afternoon.
Later, Xin Guoguo met a female teacher through his lover. After visiting her several times, he finally invited her to Xiaoyang Village.
