Xia Zixing said nothing and arranged for Qiu Rang to let these people drink a bowl of potion.

"Old man, you all must pay attention to hygiene, especially those of you who have wounds. You must be careful not to let the wounds become inflamed,"

Seeing Xia Zixing's busy figure, some villagers who were in relatively good health came over to help, carrying some seriously injured people over to save Xia Zixing from looking for them one by one.

Xia Zixing looked at them, "If you can, everyone should stay apart. Those who are sick should stay aside, and those who are healthy should stay aside to prevent each other from being infected."

Everyone listened to Xia Zixing's words and took the initiative to differentiate.

Xia Zixing asked those people to gather the rotten things together and set them on fire.

These rotten things are most likely to breed bacteria, and they also emit unpleasant odors that spread.

Xia Zixing was treated here for more than two days in a row. Only then did the people in the county government receive the news, especially Zheng Qiang. He originally knew that Xia Zixing would come to Linqing County. He thought she would come a few days later, but he didn't expect that she was already there. Stayed here for several days.

If it weren't for her, they wouldn't have found this villager, and they really thought they were just the refugees he saw.

Xia Zixing didn't have any more medicine, so Zheng Qiang and the others came just in time.

"Uncle, has the dam started to deal with it?"

Zheng Qiang nodded, "Yes, but I haven't thought of a specific solution yet,"

In the evening, Xia Zixing followed him back to the county government office and took out topographic pictures to study.

The reason why the reservoir burst is because it rained a lot some time ago, and the reservoir has been full and has exceeded the warning line for several days.

The dams built before may not be strong enough, and with the erosion of rainwater, they will soon be unable to hold up.

Now the water is rushing down, covering the lower villages and fields. If the water is not cleared, these villagers will never be able to return to their homes.

Those fields really had no harvest.

Xia Zixing studied the plan with Daozheng of the local county government and finally decided to start dredging in two directions.

Opening the pipe in two directions has little impact on the downstream, but the cost is doubled.

Zheng Qiang frowned, and the county magistrate was even more helpless.

The funds to open even one opening, let alone two openings, are not enough.

Especially today I saw those villagers, almost thousands of them. We can't just ignore these people.

Once you want to take care of it, you have to take care of all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation. This is a lot of money.

"Xing'er, wait until I report this matter to the court."

"It's too late. We need to evacuate the villagers as soon as possible. We can't gather in such large numbers. It can easily cause plague. And if the flood lasts for a long time, there is a high possibility of plague."

"As for the money issue, let me figure it out. Uncle, your most important thing now is to settle the villagers well, send more doctors to treat them, and be sure to pay attention to the occurrence of the plague."

"As soon as symptoms are discovered, isolate yourself immediately,"

Over in the capital, Lu Er brought his things to Longteng Auction House, which is the largest and only auction house in the capital.

I heard that Longteng Auction House has a branch in every country, specializing in selling valuable things or rare treasures.

Long Teng's steward received Lu Er. Lu Er wore a mask and white brocade clothes and entered the inner room in style.

Without waiting for the steward to ask more questions, I will take five treasures.

"Boss, I don't like to talk nonsense. I'm anxious to take pictures of these five treasures. I'll take as many pictures as possible and get the money right away."

The steward took the things in Lu Yi's hand and looked at them one by one.

Everyone was surprised when they looked at it until the last small jade pendant. Although it was small, it was the most exquisite in workmanship, the most complex in texture, and the color was transparent.

The steward's eyes changed slightly: "I wonder, little brother, where did you get these things?"

Lu Er's eyes were wary, "I belong to the master's family, you don't need to care so much, just help me sell it,"

The steward collected four pieces, but did not take the smallest jade pendant. He returned it to Lu Er: "I don't dare to accept this jade pendant here. Little brother, I'd better take it back first. I will auction the other four pieces for you now."

There happens to be an auction today.

On the fourth day, Lu Er came back, bringing several carts of grain and medicinal materials.

Zheng Qiang immediately arranged for people to start distributing to the villagers.

When the villagers saw that there was food, they all spontaneously knelt down and worshiped Xia Zixing.

"The girl is the reincarnation of Bodhisattva, a goddess of heaven,"

"Yes, it was the goddess who saved us,"

More and more village girls are kneeling down, and many people from the county town are also kneeling down.

Xia Zixing looked at him in shock. Not to mention how embarrassed he was, he had never received so many people kneeling before him.

"Everyone, get up. If one party is in trouble, help from all directions will come. We are all citizens of our Yuerong Kingdom. Our emperor has always been caring about everyone."

"Everyone must believe that the imperial court has not given up on you. Everyone should be at ease to treat you. Trust the imperial court and trust us."

Xia Zixing said some words of encouragement, giving the villagers hope of living.

At this time, someone stood up and asked: "Goddess, our village has been flooded and we have nowhere to go."

Zheng Qiang was shocked. This question was asked by the villagers, and the consequences could easily arouse public outrage.

Xia Zixing looked at the man with a smile, and then said loudly: "Don't worry, everyone, this is Mr. Zheng, the Minister of Household Affairs. He was sent by the emperor to help everyone solve this matter. Yesterday, Mr. Zheng had already figured out a way to help everyone solve this matter. Dredge the water and then help build everyone’s houses.”

Zheng Qiang stood up and nodded to the villagers: "Don't worry, everyone, we will help solve everyone's problems,"

The words of Xia Zixing and Zheng Qiang made many old people burst into tears. They thought that after this flood, they would be homeless and end up on the streets. Unexpectedly, the court sent people to help them and said they would help them repair their houses.

This is a great thing.

Lu Er returned the small jade pendant to Xia Zixing, "Princess, the auction house said they dare not sell this thing, so let me return it to you."

Xia Zixing took the jade pendant doubtfully. What do you mean by not daring to take it? Is there anything special about this jade pendant?

Xia Zixing played with the jade pendant in her hand, and remembered that this seemed to be her own, a coming of age gift given to her by her master.

At that time, I felt it was inconvenient to wear it, so I simply put it in the space. This time I took it out together and didn't pay attention to it. I didn't expect that it was so special that others didn't dare to sell it.

Is there anything special about it?

"Two, have you seen this thing?"

Xia Zixing pointed to the lines on it and asked Lu Er. The lines were indeed quite special.

Lu Er shook his head, "But this kind of thing is usually a symbol of some kind of status. Longteng Auction House doesn't dare to accept it for sale, maybe it knows its origin."

It seems she has time to go to the auction house and ask. Maybe this jade pendant will bring her huge wealth.

"Hey, you can't go in until I notify you," Qiuyue's voice sounded outside.

At this time, an imperial doctor from the capital rushed in with a serious look on his face.
