Chapter 949 The Trip to Mianzhou (5)

Outside the city of Mianzhou, there was not a grass hut, let alone a refugee, but many motorcades came and went. These people looked at this large group of people and automatically gave way to them.

Qi Hao looked at the huge word "Mianzhou" on the city wall and said in a low voice, "Finally here."

When Yi Kun heard this, he smiled and said, "Sir, Lord Zong is still behind us!" Qi Hao promised Yu Xi that he would not rush the night road, but even so, it was faster than the imperial envoy Zong Siyuan who rode in a carriage. many.

Entering the city, Yi Kun asked, "Master Shizi, do we still live in the inn?" The inn in the prefecture is definitely better than that in a county. However, the inn has a bad place, the location is generally relatively remote.

Qi Hao shook his head and said, "No, go to the prefect's yamen first." In Jiang County, it's just a stop, it's convenient to live in a post station. This time I have to live for a while, how can I live in a remote place.

When I arrived at the prefect's yamen, I realized that Qin Zhifu was not in the yamen, but took people out to inspect it early in the morning.

Qi Hao directly revealed his identity to the housekeeper of the Qin mansion, and then said, "Let him come to see me when the prefect of Qin comes back."

Butler Luo dared to refuse, he hurriedly responded, and asked Qi Hao if they had arranged a place to live. If not, he can make arrangements.

Yi Kun could not wait. But before he could speak, Yu Zhi said, "We have already arranged a place to live, it's on Songxia Road."

Butler Luo hurriedly said: "This old slave is familiar with it, so let the old slave take the young master and all the adults there."

Qi Hao nodded.

Yi Kun whispered towards Yu Zhi: "Brother Yu, you are too embarrassed. You don't tell me if you have arranged the accommodation." It made him think that the group was going to live in the prefect's yamen.

Yu Zhi said blankly, "You didn't ask me." He would tell Qi Hao no matter what. As for Yi Kun, he would respond if you asked him, and he wouldn't say much if he didn't ask.

Yi Kun choked.

Looking at the rows of houses in front of him, Yi Kun was very surprised: "Why didn't all the houses here collapse?" There are thirty or forty houses here, but none of them collapsed.

Butler Luo said, "The people living on Songxia Road are either rich or expensive, so the house here is made of sufficient materials. It is estimated that this is the reason why the house did not collapse."

Qi Hao has studied astronomy and geography. Although he is not well-versed, he still knows the most basic theories. With such a large ground movement, the fact that the house did not collapse here is not just the reason for the firm foundation.

When I entered the house, I found that there was nothing in it except trees. There was nothing in the house except the bed. Yi Kun himself felt that it was nothing, but it was too aggrieved for Shizi to live in such a simple and humble way.

Qi Hao didn't think it was simple, but there were some things that he had to buy: "Let someone buy a mosquito net over here." He didn't want to be bitten all over his head.

After a pause, Qi Hao said again: "Go and buy another wooden bucket basin, I want to take a bath." In addition to the few sets of clothes that Qi Hao brought, he also brought a bag of Liu'er's homemade dried flowers. These dried flowers are specially prepared by Liu Er. There is no way to do it on the road, and now that he has a place to stay, he must take a bath to remove the smell from his body.

When Yu Zhi heard this, he said, "Sir, it's better to go to the street to see it than to wait." No matter how much you hear, it's far better than seeing it with your own eyes.

Qi Hao nodded and said, "Let's have a look in the afternoon!" Now he just wanted to take a shower and then have a good sleep.

Take a shower, eat something casual, and go to bed. After waking up, I took Yi Kun and Yu Zhi and the others to the most prosperous market in Mianzhou, Yunshang Street.

Butler Luo wanted to follow, but Qi Hao didn't let him. He just instructed Butler Luo to wait for Lord Qin to come back, and then come to see him. "

The shops on Yunshang Street also collapsed a lot.

Most of the shops that have not collapsed have their doors closed, and only a few shops are open.

Lu Bai looked at the deserted street and felt extremely uncomfortable. I don't know how many people died this time.

The group walked out of the cloud and went to the street, when they encountered officers and soldiers on patrol. The leader, the big man with a full beard, politely asked Yi Kun to show him his household registration.

After the big man took Yi Kun's waist card and read it, he returned his hands to Yi Kun and said, "Sir, I am offended."

Yi Kun didn't care, this is the responsibility of others, how can it be considered an offense.

Qi Hao asked, "Do people who come out have to carry their household registration with them? What if they don't?"

The big man bowed respectfully and said, "A notice has been posted that they must bring their household registration when they travel. If they don't, they must be locked up. If no one comes to pick them up within two days, they will be sent out of the city. There is a place outside the city specially to accommodate these people. human."

After speaking, the big man explained again: "This is easy to manage. Otherwise, it is easy to have sex."

Qi Hao nodded slightly and said, "Where have you resettled the survivors?" Outside the city of Jiang County, he saw many grass huts, and many people lived there. But outside Mianzhou City, there was no one.

"There are sixteen settlement sites, and the closest one is more than four miles away."

Thinking of Yin Kangle and her sister, Qi Hao asked, "What about the children who have lost their loved ones?"

The big man was a little surprised. He didn't expect this young man to know so much. The big man quickly concealed the strangeness: "Those orphans are placed in Liangshan Temple." After speaking, he explained again: "Liangshan City is a temple with relatively strong incense in Mianzhou, and this earthquake did not correct it. It has an impact." The abbot of Liangshan Temple went down the mountain in person and told Qin Jiangshan that he could send those children who had lost their loved ones to the temple to be taken care of by the monks of the temple.

When Qihao heard that Liangshan Temple was more than 20 miles away from Mianzhou, he immediately said, "I wonder if you can take us to Nanlin?" It was too late to go to Liangshan Temple.

The big man guessed Qi Hao's identity, and having the opportunity to get close to the prince might be beneficial to his future. After hesitating for a while, he finally refused politely: "I can't leave my post without permission." In case the Lord Qianhu knew about it, he would not be able to eat and walk around.

After a pause, the big man said, "But if the young master doesn't mind, I can have someone show you the way." Qi Hao didn't have a strict identity, and he didn't yell.

Hearing this, Qi Hao duo looked at him and said with a smile, "Okay." This person is good and principled.

The big man chose someone from his team and gave a few words of advice.

Officers and soldiers who met patrolling along the way would be questioned, and by the fifth round, Lu Bai's face was a little unsightly. However, Qi Hao was very calm, and he didn't dare to say anything.

Looking at the impatient Lu Bai, the little leader who checked them apologetically said, "What is the duty, please forgive me." There is an order, and if you see suspicious people, you must be strictly interrogated. It's because Yi Kun's waist card belongs to Prince Ming's mansion, otherwise they would check them one by one.

Qi Hao said: "It is because of your dedication to Mianzhou that there is no crime, how can I blame it." Not only did he not blame, but he should also be rewarded. But he didn't have the right to reward and punish these people, so he didn't mention it.

Hearing this, the little boss felt ironed, but said politely, "This is our responsibility."

After the little leader and his party left, Lu Bai explained: "Master Shizi, I didn't blame them, I'm afraid it's too late." It takes a lot of time to check once, and it's a waste of their time to come down so many times.

Qi Hao didn't blame Lu Bai, he just said: "No rules can't make a circle, don't do this next time."

Lu Bai was a little ashamed: "Yes, young master."

Looking at the dense grass hut, Qi Hao looked at Lu Bai and said, "Go and call the person in charge here, and I will ask him."

The person in charge of the security here is a man named Chen San. Chen San didn't answer Qihao's question immediately, but asked hesitantly, "I don't know who this young master is?" He couldn't reveal this information to anyone at will.

Yi Kun said with a cold face, "This is Lord Shizi." Seeing Chen San's dazed expression, Yi Kun added: "Our master is the Prince of Ming." Never heard of it, it's really ignorant.

When Chen San heard that it was Prince Ming's heir, he immediately knelt on the ground.

Qi Hao asked, "How many people live here?" After hearing that there were more than 2,000 people living here, Qi Hao asked again, "How do these people live now?" piece.

Chen Sandao: "They receive food with their household registration."

Qi Hao frowned and asked, "Most of the houses collapsed after the ground movement. It's impossible for everyone to have household registration?"

"At that time, a notice was posted. If the household registration is lost, it can be re-applied at the official government. For this matter, the prefect of Qin recruited all literate people and worked for five days and five nights." Everyone was so tired that they almost fell to the ground.

Qi Hao asked a few more questions, and Chen San knew everything and said everything.

A quarter of an hour later, Qi Hao said to Yi Kun, "Let's go in and have a look." In Jiang County, he just rode a horse to look at the grass huts, and he didn't know the specifics.

Chen San said with some worry: "Shizi, there are a lot of fish and dragons inside. If any one who is not long-sighted offends the prince, even a small death can't make amends."

Qi Hao smiled and said, "No one dares to offend me." There were Yi Kun, Yu Zhi and others following him, and those people were not without eyes.

Ordinary people are afraid of things, and when they see such a group of people coming, they all close the door and hide in the house.

Chen San brought Qihao and everyone to a thatched hut and said, "Second sister-in-law, I'm Chen San, you open the door." After that, Chen San explained, "My second brother went to get firewood." The government will distribute food, but other things have to be handled by themselves.

Soon, a woman with a pale face came out of the grass shed, and she was a little scared to see such a large group of people.

Chen San is also alert. Although he knows Qi Hao's identity, he doesn't say anything: "Second sister-in-law, this young master is thirsty and wants to come in for a drink. Is there any water in the room?"

The woman nodded hurriedly, "Yes."

Qi Hao followed the woman in.

There was a bed made of several wooden boards in the hut, and on the bed was a quilt full of patches. Other than that, just some pots and pans.

Chen San poured a glass of water from the clay pot for Qi Hao, and said, "The government has posted a notice, telling us not to drink the raw water directly from the river, but to boil the water for half an hour before boiling it." After moving, the water is not clean, and people are prone to get sick after drinking it. After the precipitation is boiled, the bacteria will be much less. The common people didn't understand that much, but they did as the government said.

This Qi Hao is clear.

Yi Kun froze when he saw that the quilt was moving all the time, he took his sword and stepped forward to lift the quilt. When he saw two identical children, he quickly retracted the sword.

The two children cried loudly as they looked at the ferocious Yi Kun. The woman was so frightened that her face turned pale: "What are you doing?" After speaking, she pushed Yi Kun away, and then wrapped the quilt in her arms with the two children: "Don't be afraid, mother is here."

Yi Kun was a little embarrassed.

Qi Hao didn't expect such a change, he said apologetically to the woman, "I'm sorry, my uncle is too nervous, please don't bother with him."

The woman was full of anger, but looking at the sword in Yi Kun's hand, she didn't dare to say too much, she just said: "The water is in the clay pot. After you drink the water, hurry up and leave."

The two children were about two or three years old, both of them were naked and naked.

Qi Hao looked at the two children without clothes, and asked Chen San, "Are you without clothes?"

Chen San nodded and said with a sad face: "My second brother's family has to support five children. We were originally poor, but now we have suffered this catastrophe again. Fortunately, the government will provide rations, otherwise we would not be able to live at all."

Speaking of this, Chen San said to the woman: "Second sister-in-law, this is the son of the prince and the princess, the prince of Ming. Thanks to the prince and the princess, we can't starve to death." When it comes to grain, the grain tax is not exempted. At that time, how many people were forced to sell their sons and daughters, and their families were destroyed.

The woman's face turned pale when she heard this, and she immediately knelt on the ground and kept her forehead: "Please forgive me." Her behavior just now clearly offended the emperor.

The room was very narrow, and after Yi Kun and Yu Zhi came in, there was no place to turn around in the hut. So Qi Hao couldn't help the woman: "Get up quickly."

Wherever the woman dared to get up, she kept kowtowing. The two children were so frightened that they curled up into a ball.

Seeing this, Qi Hao immediately withdrew, and then asked Chen San, "Are there many people like your second sister-in-law's family?" He didn't even have any clothes on, which shows how sad Rìzi is.

Chen San nodded and said, "Most of them are similar to my second brother's." His own home is pretty good.

Qi Hao thought for a moment and asked, "After the earthquake, will no one pick up the items in the collapsed houses?" Earthquakes are different from floods and fires. Things like clothes can still be found after the house collapses.

Chen San shook his head and said, "Unless it's one's own house, other people's houses are not allowed to be inspected. If you dare to disobey, you will be directly beheaded if you are caught by officers and soldiers." The officers and soldiers entered the city of Mianzhou to maintain law and order.

Qi Hao nodded and asked a lot of questions before taking the crowd away after getting the answer. (To be continued)
