Chapter 522: It’s Hard for Magistrate Fu Guo to Live Alone
"Let's go, build the road, 50 coins a day, two meals."
People who usually do odd jobs in Chang'an City got the news of the road construction, and they greeted their companions.
The heavy rain turned into a light rain, drizzling down, and occasionally stopped, as if a gust of wind blew and raindrops fell again.
Li Yi stayed in Zheng County and needed to mobilize supplies from other places. Chang'an was the place with the most supplies.
He wanted to find people to work and build the road from the dock to Zheng County.
All the people in Chang'an City and Weinan County were hired.
The local labor force in Zheng County was used for disaster relief.
The high price of 50 coins a day for hiring people was rushed.
People in Chang'an ran to Caoqu and took a boat to Zheng County.
The government office of Huazhou was in Zheng County, and Zheng County was an attached county.
The main officials of the state government drank at a restaurant on the bank of Caoqu last night and watched the rain.
As a result, they all drank too much. When the magistrate of Zheng County found that the situation was not good, he could not talk to his superiors about the business at all.
He gritted his teeth, reported to the higher authorities, and asked for help from Chang'an.
At this time, he and the governor of Huazhou and others watched the farmers of the Li family farm in Bashui commanding people to do things.
Including their subordinates were also transferred. Li Yi said that he was a third-rank official, higher than the governor's third-rank.
So without the consent of others, he promised to give benefits to the yamen runners. The yamen runners saw that it was disaster relief and they could get money, so they agreed.
Zheng County was better, with fewer damaged houses, and the people in the flooded villages went to the county town.
Some people had more houses, so Li Yi paid for the victims to live in first. There were tents, but the number was not enough.
Some of the Yulin flying cavalry were sleeping soundly, and some were responsible for vigilance.
If someone took advantage of the chaos to steal or rob, they would be responsible for killing people, and they could kill people without weapons.
The governor of Huazhou and his men still had sequelae of drunkenness, with headaches, stomach discomfort, and sore throats.
The victims lined up to eat in tents that were temporarily used as canteens, and they were not in a good state.
Some people started to wipe their tears while eating. How can they survive the winter without a house?
"Go to the county to buy food from people with more grain." Li Yi slept for half an hour, and there was a little bloodshot in his eyes.
"The owner, they raised the price, more than doubled it than usual." The little steward complained.
"We will buy it even if the price has increased. It's a market economy. See who raises the price, write down the name, even if it's ten times the price, buy it first."
Li Yi said it was a market economy, but he asked to remember the name.
People saw the opportunity and wanted to make money in the national crisis. There is nothing wrong with fair trading.
But he can have a blacklist. If he suffers today, he will have a chance to make up for it in the future... soon.
"He's awake. The owner's drowned person has woken up and said he wants to vomit."
When Li Yi stood on a high place to look at the situation below, an imperial doctor who was studying with the Imperial Medical Bureau ran over and reported happily.
"It is estimated that he hit his head before drowning, and he has a slight concussion. It may also be due to long periods of lack of oxygen, drinking a lot of water, and an empty stomach."
Li Yi's ambulance did not have equipment to check for brain damage, so he could not determine whether the other party had bleeding in his head.
As for concussion, this equipment could not detect it.
Judging from the situation, the other party woke up naturally and had independent consciousness. He only showed the urge to vomit, which did not seem to be a big problem.
"Continue to give him oxygen and ask him if he wants to drink soup. If he does, feed him half a bowl of egg drop soup." Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
It is amazing that no one died.
The main reason is that all the rivers did not burst, otherwise it is not certain how many people would die.
Most of them were flooded, and mud and grass houses were soaked and collapsed.
The water flow is not fast, and you can find something to hold on to in deep water, such as hugging a big tree.
The imperial physician went to make arrangements. Li Yi thought about the homes of the victims and said to Huang Bai beside him: "Remember to remind me about the construction of the cement plant."
"I know the owner, do you want to pass on the technology?" Huang Bai nodded.
"No, cement burning technology cannot be passed on. Others can only buy cement from cement factories." Li Yi waved his hand.
He was afraid that the technology of burning cement would be learned by Tubo and then used to build cities.
Cement walls are not necessarily stronger than those mixed with rice paste, but they can be built faster.
Thinking of building cities, Li Yi suddenly had a new idea of using cement in war.
He was going to talk to his eldest and third brothers.
"Don't worry, the house will collapse if it collapses. It's not a good house anyway. Can a good house be soaked?"
The farmer comforted everyone while serving food to the disaster-stricken people in the tent.
"How can we survive in winter? After the rain, it will freeze in two days."
The victims were worried. In summer, they were also worried. Building a house requires money and time, and there is work to do in the fields.
"My landlord will build a new house for you with bricks and tiles." The farmer said what Li Yi asked.
"Such a great favor, I can't accept it. He brought people to save us, which is a great favor from heaven. I can't exchange it."
When the elderly victims talked about Li Yi, there was a look of gratitude in their eyes.
"It wasn't our host who saved you, but your Majesty's private army, the Yulin Flying Cavalry.
When your Majesty heard about the heavy rain, he was worried about Weinan County and sent the Yulin Flying Cavalry to rescue. How could he know that your Zheng County..."
"Liang County Magistrate." The victims said the county magistrate's surname.
"Yes, Liang Chun County Magistrate, he sent an urgent report to Chang'an, passed through Weinan County, and the Yulin Flying Cavalry ran to our Zheng County."
The farmers continued to follow the arrangement, and they couldn't let the credit fall on the host.
"Yes, it's His Majesty's Flying Horseman. The Flying Horseman is really good at running. He came over naked and tied life-saving things to us."
"Yes, they are pretty good at swimming, and they can drag people swimming so far."
"They rescued us to a safe place. They were so tired that they lay down to sleep. It was heartbreaking to see them."
"Your Majesty is the good Majesty who loves the people the most."
"Your Majesty has strong troops at his disposal, we can rest assured."
The people affected by the disaster were attracted by the topic and praised Li Longji one after another.
Seeing that nothing happened to him, the officials of Huazhou Prefecture went back to find a way to sober up so that they could pass the memorial to their superiors.
At the same time, prepare to invite Li Yi to drink at noon or in the evening to discuss things.
The county magistrate Liang Chun did not go back. He knew that the people in the state capital were dissatisfied with him. As a county magistrate of Huazhou, he bypassed the state capital and asked for help from Chang'an.
It doesn't matter what the people are like. What matters is how the people in the state capital look like in His Majesty's eyes.
He touched a taboo in official circles.
He didn't have any good ideas. He didn't say that the officials in the state capital were drunk, he only said that Zheng County was affected by the disaster.
He couldn't save the people in the county who were affected by the disaster. This was a failure in disaster relief. Officials from the state government would put the responsibility on him.
In other words, the less he steps up to ask for help, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net will have no good outcome in the end.
He thought clearly that if a lot of people died, he would not be able to keep his official position. If he jumped over the rank and reported, the worst he could do would be to change places and continue to be the county magistrate.
"Mingfu, what should we do?" The county magistrate asked, rolling his eyes.
"Ask Dr. Jin Ziguanglu Li Yi." Liang Chun glanced at his deputy and knew what he was thinking.
If he is captured, it is likely that the county magistrate will take over the county magistrate's position.
He said and walked towards Li Yi. When he got there, he looked at Li Yi carefully.
Li Yi showed a rare smile: "Magistrate Liang passed on the news in time and saved a large number of people's lives. He deserves a lot of credit."
"It all depends on the governor..." Liang Chun wanted to distribute the credit.
"It has nothing to do with them. I know they were drunk last night. I want to impeach them." Li Yi interrupted Liang Chun.
