Chapter 185 Mars Hits Earth (Part 1)
"Then, when Chu Shuai returned to Liangdu with a long convoy, the whole city was shocked by this scene. Almost all the strong men ran out of their homes spontaneously. Even the lazy men were beaten out with crutches by the old man who was crying at home, helping to relocate and resettle the victims, shovel snow and clear the road."
"I heard from people outside that the heavy snow this time is really worse than before. There are more than 500 houses collapsed. If Chu Shuai hadn't decisively brought people back two days ago, he would have provided hot porridge and accommodation for free, so he would be afraid that most people would die in this blizzard."
"The houses used to resettle victims in the city are not enough. Chu Shuai was under pressure. Despite the opposition of the wealthy families in the city, he forced all the vacant mansions of wealthy businessmen who fled out, and used their property for disaster relief. The mansions were completely transformed into resettlement houses for victims. For this reason, Chu Shuai had encountered two assassins, but the assassins were beaten to death by the angry soldiers before they even pulled out their swords."
"Miss, you don't know. Now there are countless people in the city who give to the young coach. Chu Shuai has set up a life tablet to worship it day and night. Everyone says that being able to come to Liang is the luckiest thing in his life."
Guo Xiang sat on the bed, listening to the maids' faces full of excitement and chattering non-stop, imagining the scene at that time, his eyes were a little wet, and his heart was full of pride.
My junior brother is such a kind, gentle and chivalrous man who cares about the people.
However... I haven't spoken to my junior brother well for two or three days. Every time I come to visit me, I am in a hurry. I often get called away by the adjutants who come to report my work if I can't sit for a while.
Looking at his bloodshot eyes, I'm afraid he didn't close his eyes for several days.
Thinking of this, Guo Xiang felt a little distressed.
She suddenly remembered that the prescription left by her grandfather Huang Yaoshi, whom she had seen, contained a prescription that could cultivate the essence and nourish qi, and she couldn't help but feel moved.
Why not make a medicinal soup for the junior brother with his own hands for him to replenish it?
Once this thought arises, it will become uncontrollable. Guo Xiang immediately lifts the quilt and wants to change his clothes.
These days, Su Xinghe has acupuncture for her every day. In addition, she knows that the leader attaches importance to this little girl, and she uses the best medicinal materials that Xiaoyao School has accumulated for a hundred years. Guo Xiang's body has recovered very quickly and can get out of bed and walk.
When the maids saw her getting out of bed and changing clothes, they almost cried out in a hurry and stopped her: "Miss, Mr. Su said you want to rest and you can't go out. If you have anything to do, just tell us and we will do it for you."
"Yes, Miss, although the snow outside has stopped now, the wind is still strong. If you fall ill due to cold and fall ill, Chu Shuai will definitely feel sad when he knows it."
Guo Xiang had no choice but to stay in this room with her lively and active temperament for three or four days and could not go out, but it was difficult for him to force him to break out and cause trouble for his junior brother. Fortunately, another maid led Su Xinghe to follow up.
Guo Xiang had a good impression of this kind-hearted old man, and immediately came forward and said with a bitter face: "Grandpa Su, I want to go out for a walk, can I?"
Su Xinghe has been ordered by Chu Zheng these days, and together with Shi Qiyi, he treated the victims everywhere. He was so busy that his feet were not touching the ground and his temper was a little bit good. However, he could be cold to others and dare not be impatient with the little ancestor in front of him. He kept his "kind eyes" and said: "Miss Guo, the weather outside is not good, and you are still a little weak, and you are prone to cold when you go out."
"I just want to go out to buy some soup ingredients and medicinal ingredients, make a bowl of medicinal soup to send to my junior brother, so I went out these two trips, can I?" Xiao Guoxiang was pitiful.
Su Xinghe was not too worried about her, so he had to say, "Miss Guo, you really shouldn't go out twice now. Otherwise, I will do my job on the medicinal soup. If you do it, you should wear more thicker clothes, bring a warm water bag, and let the maids take you on a carriage. What about it?"
Originally, Chu Zheng was handling affairs in the house where Guo Xiang was, but Guo Xiang had to rest after waking up. Chu Zheng temporarily moved to the city lord's mansion for fear that it would affect her rest. It was only less than two miles away from here. As long as he took the carriage throughout the journey, Guo Xiang would have to stay in the snow for a very short time, so the problem should not be big.
Su Xinghe was like coaxing his granddaughter, which was also a painstaking effort.
Guo Xiang’s ultimate goal was to see his junior brother. He immediately smiled when he heard this: “A word is certain, this is what Grandpa Su said!”
...
Night had begun to fall, and warm candlelights were lit everywhere, but a temporary signing room in the city lord's mansion was still busy, and people kept running in and out.
Chu Zheng had just returned from a disaster victim resettlement site and immediately summoned the internal affairs personnel in the city to arrange work.
"Don't worry about the food problem. The food and grass seized from Xu Yuanlang can last for a month. The young marshal also sent back to transport grain from Jiangdu. The earliest batch of ships will arrive tomorrow morning. Sister Ren, you must prepare the staff to transport grain and free up the warehouse."
"The most critical issue now is the shortage of medicine and doctors who can cure diseases. General Chen, I don't care what method you use, whether you go to another city to steal or rob, I will see at least fifty doctors and the medicinal materials listed above in two days."
"About the lack of firewood and firewood in the city..."
Chu Zheng was so busy that he felt that he was really worried. He was busy dealing with the huge amount of messy things after the war, and he had to take the initiative to take on the disaster relief. Now, almost all the people in the dilapidated houses in Liangdu and the elderly, weak, women and children in the village have moved to the city. The food, drink, housing and use of tens of thousands of people is even more troublesome.
However, he really couldn't stand his heart and looked at the poor people like his little sister, who were like his parents, frozen to death in the cold winter, and could only grit their teeth and endure it.
"Nie Qing, you must continue to step up the work-for-relief matters, so that the strong men can clean up the snow, build collective houses, repair city walls, and restore order in the city as soon as possible."
Nie Qing was a member of his original guard team. Although the guard team was disbanded, Chu Zheng did not send these guards who helped him leave casually. Instead, he placed them in a good position of logistics, service, and service, which was not real, but was somewhat frugal. He was not involved in military power, and could also make them live a better life in the following days. As for some guards who wanted to set up a battlefield on the front line, Chu Zheng also wrote an introduction letter to them, asking them to report to the young commander Kou Zhong in the future, and Kou Zhong would assign them.
Seeing that the people in the signing room took the orders and left one by one, Chu Zheng closed his eyes a little tiredly.
