Thinking this, Chi Qiao said, "Thank you very much, sir!"
However, in this matter, I, as a woman, cannot make the decision directly.
I need to go back and talk to my clansmen, and then see what they think.
Is it possible to send the money in March?
"Alright! Someone will go to Chijia'ao to inform them about the corvée labor arrangements."
"Let's see how many of you want to pay with silver. Just bring the money back to the constables later!"
"Alright, then I'll take my leave!"
We'll wait until the cement dries tomorrow, then the adults can see the results before making a decision.
If you think our cement is good, sir, just send someone to find me.
The woman is currently living at Qin Mu's house!
Fang Shizhong nodded and said to Chen Kai, "Kai, you should first escort the Chi couple back to Amu's place."
After saying that, he looked at Qin Mu and said, "Amu, please stay for a moment. I have something to tell you!"
"good!"
After leaving the yamen, Chi Qiao and Chi Dahu headed west of the city, leaving the carriage to Qin Mu.
Shen Kai accompanied them on their journey!
Since there were few people on the road and it was pitch black everywhere, he first sighed, and then couldn't help but say:
"I don't know what happened, it's like God offended someone."
Last year, heavy rain, freezing rain, hurricanes, and blizzards came one after another, giving people no chance to catch their breath.
Just when the weather was starting to improve and everyone had something to look forward to, another earthquake struck.
Fortunately, thanks to Brother Mu and Lord Fang, nothing bad has happened in Anping County.
But the neighboring Anning County is in a really bad state; I heard that many people are sick.
The large number of people falling ill after the disaster inevitably raises suspicions that a plague has broken out.
Those surviving civilians would definitely be terrified and desperately try to escape.
Since our two counties are close by, and there are no cases here, plus the county magistrate is managing things well, everyone will definitely want to come over.
"But now our Anning County has neither its inner nor outer city walls left, and it's no match for those disaster victims who are desperate to survive."
Shen Kai spoke these words with a very serious expression, and after finishing, he immediately gave instructions:
"Brother and sister-in-law, during this period, if you don't have anything to do, please stay at home as much as possible and don't go anywhere."
Chi Qiao had already given up on the idea of going to the prefectural city, but upon hearing this, she nodded and asked:
“Ah Kai, I haven’t asked you yet what the situation was like in the county town before.”
I was referring to the period of heavy snow and freezing rain.
It's been raining nonstop in our Chijia'ao, but because of our high location, nothing's really happening.
The terrain of Anping County and the surrounding counties is generally low.
After such a long period of heavy rain, the county town wasn't flooded?
"How could there not be? Before the rain, the adults personally supervised the digging of a lot of drainage ditches."
Even so, every household was still submerged in water.
Although the water level in the county town is not very high, ranging from ankle-deep to knee-deep, everyone is still flooded.
I suspect that the reason why only a few houses survived the earthquake is because those houses were flooded.
You see, the adults repeatedly emphasized that the house needed renovations.
Chi Qiao smiled and didn't ask anything more. In her opinion, apart from the house where Xiao Yu lived being an accident, it was all expected that other people's houses would collapse.
That earthquake must have been at least magnitude seven or eight.
These ancient houses didn't have any earthquake resistance features at all.
Under these circumstances, collapse was inevitable.
Just like their Chijia'ao, isn't that house very sturdy?
But it still collapsed!
