Lai Fu housed each of the refugees in a house.
Xiaocao moved into a small cubicle with her grandfather.
This was specially prepared by Li Chang'an for pregnant women and families with children.
These days, the villagers have built many houses.
But it's still not enough for the huge number of refugees.
Li Chang'an had no choice but to plan the layout of the house according to the prison dormitory from his previous life.
There are three types of houses.
One type is for men, and the other is for women.
Another type is partitioned into small rooms, each a small cubicle.
Each person has a wooden tag with their number on it.
Those who need to bring children or the elderly can stay in a separate room.
A large shed, with wooden planks installed around it, and several cotton quilts laid on the walls inside.
That's considered a house.
There is no bed.
A wooden board was placed on the ground, covered with a layer of dry grass, and then a quilt was added.
It's a bed.
The dormitories were large, shared sleeping areas.
Each person drew a bed and wrote a number on it, corresponding to the number on the wooden sign.
They were in the first batch, so arrangements were made very quickly.
Although some people are reluctant to be separated from their families, they don't care anymore when they see the quilts and firewood in the house.
People are barely surviving, so why would they care about such things?
Even the elderly traditional Chinese medicine doctor in his sixties was lured to the village by Li Chang'an.
He took the medicine box and showed it to Xiaocao's grandfather.
"It's alright, you're just too hungry. Give you some food, and I'll prescribe some medicine. With a couple of days of rest and recuperation, you'll be able to speak and eat normally again."
The little grass felt relieved after hearing those words.
But the thought of having to pay to see a doctor made her a little nervous.
I don't have money to buy medicine.
"I, I, I don't have money to buy medicine."
The army doctor patted the child's head, stroked his beard, and said, "Silly child, the adults have already paid for your medicine."
After visiting Xiaocao's grandfather, he continued to linger among the refugees along with his colleagues.
He instructed his apprentices to fetch the medicine and to decide who it was for.
Seeing that the refugees had all been settled, Li Chang'an slowly exhaled from his chest.
Third Sister came over with a bowl of milk powder, placed it in front of him, and said.
"Young master, have something to drink to calm your nerves."
Li Chang'an took the milk powder and stood up: "Thank you, Third Aunt."
Third Sister waved her hand: "If anyone should thank you, it should be us thanking you."
“I know you have a compassionate heart and can’t bear to see us suffer or witness such a scene.”
"But this is our fate. Every year at this time, many people die."
“A few months ago, there was a flood. Some people couldn’t survive, so they exchanged their own children with others and ate them. I’ve seen it myself.”
Third Sister felt a pang of heartache seeing Li Chang'an's furrowed brows.
“You are a benefactor, you were born to enjoy happiness, you shouldn’t be staying in the village to suffer with us, but you still stayed, giving us work and wages.”
"They said they wanted us to help you with the work, but you have so many houses to live in, and they were all built for us. The people in the village are truly grateful to you."
Li Chang'an chuckled self-deprecatingly.
He doesn't think he deserves the title of "heart of a bodhisattva".
"I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me. Let me be alone for a while."
Hearing this, Third Sister looked at him with kind eyes and said after a long while, "Then I'll go help cook. If you're feeling unwell, play with the girls for a while."
She didn't know how to comfort Li Chang'an.
However, she knew that she felt most sorry for the three Chu sisters and liked Er Ya and Xiao Ya the most.
The son-in-law only feels happy when he's with the three of them.
After Third Sister left, Li Chang'an sat at the table, took out his writing implements, and began to write and draw.
There are twenty or thirty villagers in Chengxi Village, so it's easy to arrange things for them.
But what they faced next was the continuous influx of tens of thousands of refugees.
This is a huge project.
The food, drink, and daily needs of tens of thousands of people must be properly arranged.
Otherwise, if things get chaotic, something bad will definitely happen.
In the end, it's people like Xiaocao who suffer the most.
Without the ability to protect themselves, no matter how much food they are given, they will not survive until the next day.
Even if I could kill those evil people, what good would it do?
You can't see into someone's heart; who can tell the difference between a good person and a bad person?
Even if we manage to save them this time, what will happen in the future?
There are so many refugees in the world, I can't possibly let them all come to the village.
And how do we arrange for them to come over?
I'd rather just sit in my Emperor Armor every day, teleporting all over the world to deliver rice, firewood, and food to them.
That would turn it into Emperor's Takeout.
Once I die, the whole world will probably descend into chaos again.
"well!"
Thinking of this, Li Chang'an sighed.
We still don't have enough time and manpower.
Although he had borrowed several thousand soldiers from the Princess of Lingnan, these soldiers were a mixed bag.
Their superiors were also of varying abilities.
Even the most clever Zhao Hu couldn't do everything according to his ideas.
Not to mention others.
It's better to hope Lin Dongdong gets the top score in the college entrance exam than to expect them to handle things properly.
Therefore, Li Chang'an still intends to do it himself.
For accommodation, we can accept prison standards, but lower them a bit.
As for food, when they first came in, they drank plain porridge and milk powder for three days.
We'll see how they perform in three days.
