Chapter 298 Evacuate the People
"Your Excellency, please give your orders." Zhao Qinghe knelt down again upon hearing this.
But it was as if I were here in person.
He was kneeling to the emperor.
"The Qintianjian predicts that six villages along the coast of Linhai County and Jinhai County in Shuihua Prefecture will suffer a major disaster within thirteen days. Your Excellency, please organize the evacuation of the people and do a good job of resettlement without any mistakes." Yun Ranqing ordered loudly.
"Yes, I obey your order." Zhao Qinghe was so scared that sweat immediately broke out upon hearing this.
Only thirteen days, it was really an extremely urgent matter.
"Okay, I will stay in Linhai County and will keep an eye on the progress at any time." Yun Ranqing said again.
This was to make sure that Zhao Qinghe would not be careless at all.
They supervised.
"Would you two like to stay at my humble home?" Zhao Qinghe wanted to keep the two of them so as to build a good relationship.
"No need. I'll pass on the message and you should act immediately. It will take a day to send the letter to the two counties." Yun Ranqing couldn't let him have the idea of getting close to her.
If it takes too long, it will be troublesome if Zhao Qinghe finds out something wrong. He will have to wait at least thirteen days.
When the disaster comes, he will not doubt it, and he has also made a great contribution.
Even if the truth is revealed later and they are found to be impostors, they will have disappeared long ago.
Even if he writes a memorial to the King of Shuilong, it doesn't matter. They are doing a good deed of saving people. The King of Shuilong can only be grateful. Not only will he not blame Zhao Qinghe, but he will also make it an imperial decree and win the hearts of the people.
After the two men finished giving their instructions, they left the prefect's mansion.
They returned to the small inn where they had just stayed.
They waited until the next afternoon, and finally received news.
The county magistrate personally brought people to organize the people to evacuate.
"Dear fellow villagers, the emperor sent an imperial edict, and the Imperial Observatory predicted that there will be a disaster from the sea in twelve days.
Now I am here to organize everyone to evacuate, please cooperate. After the disaster, everyone will come back.
Those who have relatives can go to their relatives' homes. Those who don't have relatives to go to can go to the place specially prepared by this official. I have prepared a tent for each family." As soon as He Jingshen arrived, he asked the yamen runners to knock on the gong first, gather some of the people in the town, notify them first, and let the town chief supervise the evacuation.
Then he went to the villages under the town to continue the propaganda.
He also notified the villages where some people with numbers on their foreheads that Feng Tianxing had not seen were located.
Then the large-scale relocation began.
Feng Tianxing and his companions also mixed in the crowd to help the people relocate.
One time, they were seen by He
Jingshen. "You two, I didn't expect that you really did it, and you even got through the emperor." He Jingshen admired them very much, and he saluted Feng Tianxing and his companions respectfully when he saw them. "
Sir He, you can do a great job this time. Resettling the people well. Did the prefect say that he would give the people some resettlement subsidies?" Feng Tianxing asked mischievously. "
Yes, the prefect took out 5,000 taels of silver from the tax money as the expenses for the relocation of the people this time." He Jingshen also praised the prefect for his generosity this time.
Five thousand taels, it's not very generous, but it's very good. It's enough to relocate less than 10,000 people.
At the beginning, many people were unwilling to relocate.
You know, moving is not a trivial matter. It involves the whole family, including poultry, livestock, and various things in the house.
But the county magistrate said that this was an imperial decree and no one could disobey it.
The county magistrate also organized several teams of strong men to help everyone move, and even towed away the boats that the fishermen used to go out to sea to fish.
In this way, the people's rejection was not so great.
Feng Tianxing went to see the people who had been relocated again, and sure enough, he saw that there were no numbers on their foreheads.
This means that they will not encounter a catastrophe that they cannot escape.
But Feng Tianxing and Yun Ranqing really want to know what kind of catastrophe it will be.
So after the people left, they returned to the empty inn and continued to stay there, and brought their whole family out.
At this time, there was still one day before the disaster they had expected.
"Tianxing, what kind of disaster do you think it will be?" Song Shuqing stood by the sea, looking at the vast sea, and asked Feng Tianxing who was also standing next to him.
Everyone was seeing the sea for the first time, and it was very novel.
With the support of Feng Yuanjie, Feng Zhuoyi played with sea water and sand and had a lot of fun.
"Maybe it was a typhoon." Feng Tianxing guessed, but she knew that a typhoon could not kill everyone on the same day, but she could not think of any other disaster that would happen by the sea. Could it be an earthquake
?
That was even more impossible, and an earthquake was even less likely to kill people on the same day. How could someone stand in an empty place and escape?
Don't think about it, you'll know tomorrow.
"Brother Qing, how about we go to the center of the sea to have a look?" Feng Tianxing looked at the sea where the sea and the sky met, and could not see anything.
"Okay." Yun Ranqing also had this idea.
Now there was no one here, Yun Ranqing called out the two Qilin. He directly got on everyone and went to the depths of the sea to have a look.
The two Qilins were huge, and each could easily hold four people.
And they were all holy beasts.
After several people sat on them, the two Qilins slowly walked in the air, soaring over the turbulent sea.
Feng Tianxing and Yun Ranqing walked in the air beside them.
The figures of the two Qilins drew a beautiful arc in the air, forming a strange scenery between the sea and the sky, but no one saw it.
Everyone sat on the backs of the Qilins and overlooked the sea below. The sea was rolling and surging, and it was just water.
Sometimes it was windy and sometimes calm, but no matter how the wind and waves changed, the people could not find anything unusual.
As they walked further, they saw a few small islands that appeared vaguely in their sight.
In the evening, they returned to the inn.
After a day's work, they had worked in vain and found nothing.
Feng Tianxing looked at the sea outside the window, frowning, and said with frustration: "Oh, it's so annoying, I didn't see anything. It's just water, and I didn't even find anything unusual on an island." "
Xing'er, you'll know tomorrow. There's no rush now." Yun Ranqing comforted her.
She took a deep breath and adjusted her mood: "We can only wait."
No words were spoken that night, and everyone rested in the space. Now Lou Shiyan is everyone's logistics staff, responsible for cooking.
Don't look at her as a princess of a country. When she thinks of her previous life, her ability to live is the strongest among everyone.
Now the women can only help.
Chen Huizhu eats her meals every day, and she feels embarrassed. These days, she has also learned to cook from her.
Song Shuqing and Wu Miaozhen are both elders, so of course they can't be allowed to do it.
The next day, Feng Tianxing woke up when it was still light, and took everyone out again.
They watched the sunrise over the sea.
When the flaming sun slowly rose from the sea, the beautiful scene was breathtaking.
"Wow, sister, I have never seen such a beautiful scenery. There is no sea in our country of Yanyan, and we can't see it at all." Chen Huizhu was very excited.
It is true that traveling thousands of miles is better than reading thousands of books.
But Feng Tianxing and his friends waited until dark on this day, and nothing unusual happened.
Could it be at night?
