In the past two years, due to the promotion of new rice and wheat varieties in Beihai County, the production of grain has increased a lot, and the price of grain has dropped directly.
And because of the Longchi Wharf, many business travelers have flooded into Beihai County, and everyone has more opportunities to make money, so many people are reluctant to sell their grain at a low price.
Under such circumstances, everyone's living standards have improved. People who used to eat dry food for half a year and thin food for half a year can eat dry food for a whole year; poor people who need to eat mixed food have a much better life.
Even because Beihai County advocates raising pigs and chickens, everyone eats more meat and eggs than before.
Life was better, and Mingda posted an announcement to raise funds for Changshou County. When he could accept money, food, clothing, and even wood, many people in the city went to donate with their grain bags.
Common people are reluctant to donate money, but they can still donate some food. Some people donate two or three liters, some donate two or three bags...
Because the princess presided over this matter, business travelers passing by here also came to join in the fun and donate some money and food.
This is true for the passing business travelers, let alone the local gentry and wealthy businessmen.
Among them, the Song family donated the most, followed by the Zhao family.
The two families not only donated money, but also donated food, cloth, and donated the clothes they didn't wear at home. It can be said that Yushantang has reaped a lot.
Mingda asked people to record all the supplies they received in detail, who donated how much, even if it was just a liter of rice, here are the names of the donors.
After Mingda checked the accounts and there was no problem, he asked someone to load the car, and said to Bai Erlang, "You can send it to Changshou County yourself."
Bai Erlang pointed to his nose in surprise and said, "Me?"
"That's right," Ming Da said, "Bai Shan is the county magistrate, he can't do without him, Yin may be in poor health, who else will you go to?"
"This batch of materials is quite a lot. Although I don't think they dare to be greedy for the things I sent, things in this world are never absolute. I still won't test their humanity." Mingda put the ledger in his hand, slightly He smiled and said, "I'll leave this to you."
Bai Erlang could only hold the account book, "All right."
In addition to Beihai County, people from other counties also went to Changshou County to help, not to mention Qingzhou City.
The Governor’s Mansion was on the move from the moment he received the news. Governor Guo was so anxious that his brows were covered with pimples, and his heart ached, very painful, “How could such a thing happen? I will leave my post in three months’ time. it's..."
"Have the medicinal materials and food been prepared?" Guo Inspector wiped his face and managed to pull himself together. "Hurry up and count them. I'll take them there tomorrow."
"My lord, it is still raining in Changshou County, and flash floods occur from time to time, which is very dangerous..."
Governor Guo waved his hand and said, "Can't so many people protect this mansion? We will leave early tomorrow morning."
He has already got the exact news that Jingzhong intends to transfer him back. He has made a lot of achievements in the past five years.
But Beijing officials are different from local officials. Only when they return can they take a step forward.
There can be no accidents at this time. Earthquakes and mountain torrents have killed and injured so many people. If it is not handled well, let alone returning to Beijing, I am afraid that even the official title will be lost, but if it is handled well...
Governor Guo shuddered, and quickly asked: "Did the medical office ask clearly, Mr. Zhou has really passed?"
"It's over, I took my people there at noon yesterday."
The news of the earthquake in Changshou County also came at noon yesterday, and it seemed that she rushed there as soon as she received the news.
Governor Guo sighed and waved his hands to make people retreat, "Get ready."
Zhou Man had already brought his people to the epicenter before nightfall. This place was the most serious. Houses collapsed, and even a small half of the mountain collapsed.
The earthquake happened just before dawn, and people got up at that time, but not many, because it was raining in Changshou County for the past two days, and the farmers had no work to do on rainy days, so everyone used to sleep a little longer in the morning.
Who knew that just for a moment, the ground shook.
Many houses collapsed directly, but before they could react, because it rained for days, the earthquake directly caused mountain torrents, and the water on the mountain was washed out mixed with soil, and the people who survived the earthquake suffered a lot of casualties.
When Zhou Man arrived, there was the sound of crying in the open places and fields, and the torches were lit in the village not far away, and everyone was saving lives overnight.
Zhou Man just glanced at it and then ordered the soldiers and guards who followed, "Put up the tent, it may rain at night, so the sick can't get wet again, and boil the water."
"yes."
Everyone got busy, Zhou Man grabbed a person who was obviously in charge, "You guys are right here, let him come to see me."
"Lizheng," the other party said numbly, "Lizheng has been buried in the soil and hasn't been dug out yet."
Zhou Man: "What about your village head? Who is in charge now? Let him come to see me."
The county magistrate was in charge. The county magistrate went to another village. He ran here covered in mud. When he saw Zhou Man, his eyes filled with tears, and he rushed up and said, "Master Zhou, you are here. We have dug out many wounded people." , I didn’t even have time to send it to the hospital…”
"Let them bring all the wounded here."
The county lieutenant responded and went immediately.
Zhou Man took over the area with the doctors who came to help, and the raised stove soon began to boil medicine.
The strong smell of herbs wafted out, and the villagers who sat around the village with their heads down were slightly refreshed, and looked up and looked around.
In the darkness, someone held a torch and shouted as they walked, "The medical office is here. Anyone who is injured or sick has gone to see a doctor. Those who can walk will go by themselves. If they can't, call out and someone will carry them..."
"There are people from the medical department, there are injured and sick..." The man walked around the village with his hands up, shouting these words repeatedly.
After a while, in the darkness, someone stood up gropingly, looked around, found the spot where the flames were most concentrated among the dots of fire, and went towards that spot.
Zhou Man glanced at the water they brought, shook his head and said, "This water must be boiled, and all the water used to clean wounds must be boiled."
"Master Zhou, come and take a look at this man, his leg can't be kept, it has to be amputated."
Zhou Man hurried over to look at it, and after some inspections, he said, "I'll try it, if I can't stop the bleeding before sawing it off, I need two more torches."
"yes."
Everyone moved, and the area was soon full of people.
Zhou Manjiang carefully sewed up his subordinate's leg, and after confirming that the bleeding had stopped, he breathed a sigh of relief, took a step back, and gave the space to Xibing, "Give him the medicine."
Xibing: "Yes."
Zhou Man went out to check the injuries outside, and saw a child with a pale face and trembling body placed on the straw mat, hurriedly stepped forward to look, touched it, his hands were cold, his face was pale and trembling, she touched her With a pulse, he quickly picked him up, "Make a bed in the tent, where is the child's family?"
