Outside the city of Mianzhou, there is not a hayloft, let alone a migrant, but there are many motorcades coming in and out. These people looked at this group of people, and they all made way for them.
Qi Hao looked at the huge word "Mianzhou" on the wall, and said in a low voice, "Finally here."
When Yi Kun heard this, he said with a smile, "Shi Ziye, Master Zong is still behind us!" Qi Hao promised Yuxi not to rush the night, but even so, he was much faster than the imperial minister Zong Siyuan who was in a carriage. .
After entering the city, Yi Kun asked, "Sir, shall we still live in the post?" The post of the prefecture must be better than the one of a county government. However, there is a downside to the inn, which is generally remote.
Qi Hao shook his head and said, "No, go to the prefect Yamen first." In Jiang County, I just rested and stayed at the inn. This time I'm going to live for a while, how can I live in a remote place.
After arriving at the prefect’s office, I learned that the prefect of Qin was not in the office, but took people out to inspect it early in the morning.
Qi Hao directly stated his identity to the housekeeper of Qin's house, and then said, "After the prefect of Qin comes back, let him come to see me."
Where did Steward Luo dare to refuse, he hurriedly responded, and asked Qi Hao if they had arranged a place to live. If not, he can arrange it.
Yi Kun was eager. But before he could speak, Yu Zhi said, "We have arranged a place to live, it's on Songxia Road."
Steward Luo hurriedly said, "He is familiar with the old slave, so let the old slave take the young master with the adults."
Qi Hao nodded.
Yi Kun whispered toward Yu Zhi, "Brother Yu, you are too uninteresting, so I didn't tell me if I arranged a place to live." He thought that his party was going to live in the prefectural office.
Yu Zhi said blankly, "You didn't ask me again." He would tell Qi Hao no matter what. As for Yi Kun, he would respond if he asked, 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 haven't any of the houses collapsed here?" There are thirty or forty houses here, but none of them collapsed.
Steward Luo said, "The people living on Songxia Road are either rich or expensive, so the house here is full of materials. It is estimated that the house did not collapse because of this."
Qi Hao has studied astronomy and geography. Although he is not proficient, he still knows the most basic theory. With such a large ground movement, the fact that the house here did not collapse is not just the reason that the foundation is firm.
When I entered the house, I found that there was nothing but trees inside. Except for the beds, the room I lived in had nothing else. Yi Kun felt nothing to himself, but it was too aggrieved for Shi Ziye to live in such a crude state.
Qi Hao didn't think it was simple, but some things had to be bought, "Let someone buy a mosquito net." It doesn't matter if the other generals are laid down, this mosquito net is indispensable. He didn't want to be bitten all over.
After a pause, Qi Hao said again, "Go and buy another wooden tub, I want to take a bath." In addition to a few sets of clothes, Qi Hao also brought a bag of Liuer's homemade dried flowers. These dried flowers are specially prepared by Liuer. There is no way on the road. Now that he has a place to stay, he must take a bath to remove the smell of his body.
When Yu Zhi heard this, he said, "Sir, it's better to go out on the street instead of waiting." No matter how much he hears, it is far better than seeing it with his own eyes.
Qi Hao nodded and said, "Let's take a look that afternoon!" Now he just wants to take a bath and then take a good night's sleep.
I took a shower, ate something casually, and then went to bed. After waking up, I took Yi Kun and Yu Zhi and his group to Yunshang Street, the most prosperous market in Mianzhou.
Steward Luo wanted to follow, but Qi Hao didn't let him go, but ordered Steward Luo to wait for Master Qin to come back and see him. "
Many shops on Yunshang Street also collapsed. Most of the shops that did not collapse had their doors closed, and only a few shops were open.
Looking at the deserted street, Lu Bai felt terribly uncomfortable. I don't know how many people died this time.
When a group of people went out of the cloud and took to the streets, they encountered officers and soldiers patrolling. The headed man, the big bearded man, kindly asked Yi Kun to show him his household registration.
The older one took Yi Kun's waist card and looked at it, and then returned both hands to Yi Kun and said, "My lord, I'm offended."
Yi Kun didn't care, it was his duty, how could it be considered offensive.
Qi Hao asked, "Does anyone who comes out must carry their household registration with them? What if they don't?"
The older man bowed his waist and said, "A notice has been posted, so that they must bring their household registration. If they do not bring them, 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 to accommodate these people. of."
After finishing speaking, the older one explained, "It's easy to manage. Otherwise, it's easy to get into trouble."
Qi Hao nodded slightly and said, "Where did you settle the survivors?" There were many straw sheds outside the city of Jiang County, where many people lived. But there is no half a person outside Mianzhou city.
"There are sixteen settlement points, 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 relatives?"
The older one was a little surprised, but he didn't expect this young man to know so much. The big one quickly concealed the discoloration. "Those orphans have been placed in Liangshan Temple." After finishing speaking, he explained that "Liangshan City is a temple in Mianzhou where the incense is relatively strong. This time the earth movement did not cause it. Influence.” The abbot of Liangshan Temple went down the mountain personally and told Qin Jiangshan that the children who had lost their loved ones could be sent to the temple to be taken care of by the monks of the temple.
Qi Hao heard that Liangshan Temple was more than 20 miles away from Mianzhou, and immediately said, "I wonder if you can take us to Nanlin?" It is too late to go to Liangshan Temple.
The older one guessed Qi Hao's identity, and the chance to get close to his son might be beneficial to his future. After hesitating, he finally tactfully refused, "I can't leave my job without authorization." In case thousands of adults knew, he would have to go around without food.
After a pause, the big man said, "But if the young master doesn't mind, I can let someone show you the way." Qi Hao didn't know his identity, so he didn't scream nonsense.
Hearing this, Qi Hao took a big look and said with a smile, "Yes." This person is good and very principled.
The older man selected a person from his team and exhorted a few words specifically.
The officers and soldiers patrolling along the way were cross-examined, and Lu Bai looked a little ugly by the fifth time. But Qi Hao's expression was very calm, and he didn't dare to say anything.
Looking at Lu Bai with an impatient look, the little leader who interrogated them was very apologetic and said, "The responsibility lies, and please forgive me, this brother." In fact, seeing them riding horses and swords, they know that their status is not low, but there is something on it. Order, if you see suspicious persons, you must strictly interrogate them. It was because Yi Kun's waist card belonged to the Ming Palace, otherwise they would check one by one.
Qi Hao said sternly, "It is because of your loyalty to Mianzhou that there is no chaos. How can I blame it." Not only is it not to blame, but it 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 leader felt that he was ironed, but he said politely, "This is our own business."
After the little chief and his party left, Lu Bai explained, "My son, I didn't blame them, I'm afraid it would be too late." It takes a lot of time to check once, and it would be a waste of their time to come down so many times.
Qi Hao didn't blame Lu Bai either, but said, "No rules can't make a circle. Don't do that next time."
Lu Bai was a little ashamed. "Yes, Master."
Looking at the dense straw shed, 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 public order here is a man named Chen San. Chen San didn't answer Qi Hao's question immediately, but hesitatedly asked, "I don't know who this young master is?" He couldn't disclose this information to anyone at will.
Yi Kun said with a cold face, "This is the son of the world." Seeing Chen Sanyi's dazed face, Yi Kun added the sentence "Our master is the son of the Ming prince." Yi Kun despised Chen San so much that he didn't even have the son of the world. I have heard of it, but it is really ignorant.
Chen San immediately knelt on the ground when he heard that it was the prince of Ming.
Qi Hao asked, "How many people live here?" After hearing more than two thousand people live, Qi Hao asked again, "How do these people live now?" The two thousand people were scattered and not concentrated together.
Chen Sandao "They receive food by virtue of their household registration."
Qi Hao frowned and asked, "Most of the houses collapsed after the ground was moved, so it's impossible for everyone to have a household registration?"
"At that time, a notice was posted. Those who lost their household registration can go to the government to make up for it. For this, the prefect of Qin brought in literate people and spent five days and nights busy." Everyone was so tired that they almost lay down.
Qi Hao asked a few more questions, and Chen San knew everything without saying anything.
A quarter of an hour later, Qi Hao said to Yi Kun, "Let's go in and take a look." In Jiang County, he just rode a horse and looked down at the huts, without knowing the specifics.
Chen San said with some worry, "The son of the world, there is a mixture of fish and dragons. In case anyone who does not have a long eye offends the son, you can't pay for the small death." The son of the son has three long and two shortcomings, and he must be buried.
Qi Hao smiled and said, "No one would dare to offend me." Yi Kun, Yu Zhi and others followed, but those people didn't have eyesight.
Ordinary people are afraid of things. Seeing such a group of people coming, they all closed their doors and hid in their houses.
Chen San took Qihao and everyone to a thatched hut and said, "Second Sister-in-law, I am Chen San, you open the door." After speaking, Chen San explained, "My second brother, he is going to make firewood." Distribute food, but other things have to be solved by yourself.
Soon, a woman with a yellow complexion came out of the straw shed, a little scared looking at such a large group of people.
Chen San is also smart. Although he knows Qi Hao's identity, he said nothing, "Second Sister-in-law, this young master is thirsty to come in and drink some water. Is there any water in the house?"
The woman nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes."
Qi Hao followed the woman in.
There is a bed made up of several wooden boards in the shed, and there is a quilt full of patches on the bed. In addition, there are some pots and pans.
Chen San poured a glass of water from the clay pot to Qi Hao, and said, "The government posted a notice telling us not to drink the raw water from the river, but to put the water for half an hour before boiling it." After that, the water is not clean, and people tend to get sick after drinking it. After the precipitation is boiled, the germs will be much less. The common people don't know so much, but they did what the government said.
This Qi Hao is clear.
Seeing that the quilt had been moving, Yi Kun took a sword and walked forward and lifted the quilt. When he saw two children who looked exactly the same, he quickly took the sword back.
The two children looked at the vicious Yi Kun and wept loudly. The woman paled with fright. "What are you going to do?" After she finished speaking, she pushed Yi Kun away, and then wrapped her two children in her arms in the quilt. "Don't be afraid, mother is here."
Yi Kun was a little embarrassed.
Qi Hao didn't expect such a change, and said apologetically to the woman, "I'm sorry, my uncle is too nervous, please don't care about 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. You drink the water and go quickly."
The two children looked like two or three years old, and neither of them was wearing any clothes.
Qi Hao looked at the two children without clothes, and asked Chen San, "Is there no clothes to wear?"
Chen San nodded and said with a sad face, "My second brother's family is going to feed five children. He was already poor, but now he has suffered this catastrophe. Fortunately, the government will provide rations, otherwise we can't 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 son of the prince Ming. It is also thanks to the prince and the princess that we will not be starved to death." If you give food, you won’t be exempt from the food tax. At that time, many people were forced to sell their sons and daughters, and their families were ruined.
When the woman heard this, her face turned pale, and she immediately knelt on the ground and kept her forehead "please, please forgive me." Her behavior just now obviously offended her.
The room was very narrow, and after Yi Kun and Yu Zhi followed in, there was no place to turn around in the hut. So Qi Hao has no way to help this woman "Get up quickly."
Wherever the woman dared to get up, she kept kowtow. The two children were pale with fright and curled up into a ball.
Upon seeing this, Qi Hao immediately retired, and then asked Chen San, "Are there many people like your second sister-in-law's house?" He didn't even wear any clothes, which shows how sad the days are.
Chen San nodded and said, "Most people are similar to my second brother's." His own home is pretty good.
Qi Hao thought for a while and asked, "After the ground moves, no one will pick up the things in those collapsed houses?" Ground movement is different from floods and fires. You can still find things like clothes after the house collapses.
Chen San shook his head and said, “Unless it’s your own house, other people’s houses are not allowed to go through inspections. If you dare to resist orders, they will be directly beheaded if they are caught by the soldiers.” On the third day of the ground movement, the soldiers stationed outside the city. He entered Mianzhou City to maintain law and order.
Qi Hao nodded, asked a lot of questions, and took everyone away after he got the answer.
