I've been reborn, who still wants to be a cowardly little white flower?

The carriage left Huaiping County and just out of the city, Qu Ying stopped the carriage, "Second sister, what's wrong?" Zhou Qian'an, who was riding in the front, turned around and asked, thinking that Qu Ying was uncomfortable from the bumpy ride.

Opening the car door, Qu Ying was holding a wooden box in her arms. She smiled at Zhou Qian and explained, "I have something to arrange, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu."

Xiao Si and Xiao Wu were following the carriage on horseback. When they heard someone calling them, they quickly reached the carriage in two or three steps. "Girl."

Qu Ying took out two money bags from the box and handed them to the two men respectively. "Each bag contains 200 taels of loose silver and 150 taels of silver notes. Each of you should take a few people with you to a town that will not be affected by the disaster and buy some food.

If there is not enough rice, millet or coarse corn will do. There are also various vegetables. Try to find cheap green leafy vegetables. Radishes will also work.

My brother is at Lushan, and I will stay at Lushan too. Bring your things with you and come to Lushan."

Xiao Si and Xiao Wu took the silver, nodded in agreement, and called a few people to set off separately.

Zhou Qian'an wondered, "The relief grain from the imperial court is already being shipped here, why are we buying these?"

"Brother Qi An, the disaster victims from three or four counties are not treated according to the rules of previous years. Maybe no one among them will embezzle the money and grain from the court, but it is still not enough.

Moreover, this time it was the imperial court that required the people to move out and be resettled to avoid the disaster. Although it was a good thing, there would definitely be people who would take advantage of this to express their dissatisfaction and make a big fuss.

People’s emotions are most easily stirred up when they are hungry or sleep deprived, so try to appease them.”

Zhou Qian'an looked at Qu Ying in front of him with full of admiration. His impression of her was nothing more than those noble ladies in the capital, who were chattering all day long, and would discuss cosmetics, hairpins and jewelry when they got together, and would get angry and throw tantrums over the slightest thing.

But since leaving Beijing, he discovered that Qu Ying was actually different from those noble ladies. She was not spoiled, did not throw tantrums, traveled day and night, slept in the open, and followed Jiang Yuan, smiling foolishly all day long.

Her curiosity about the novelty of the outside world outweighs the hardship of traveling. Now she can think so much and try her best to do more for the people.

"This money is all yours, right? Don't you feel bad about spending it?" Zhou Qian'an joked with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Qu Ying looked nonchalant and patted the box, "It's not mine, it's all A Yuan's. Why should I feel bad about spending her money?"

After saying that, he closed the car door and said, "Let's go."

Zhou Qian laughed out loud, "Let's go."

When they arrived at Lushan, they learned that Jiang Huai and Lu Chuan had already gone to the next stop, and Yuan Mingyi was waiting at the door of the temporary house.

He welcomed several people into the house and told them what had happened in the past few days.

Because there have been two consecutive heavy rains, the water risk in the Heihe River has increased significantly. They have begun to organize the people along the Heihe River to evacuate in an orderly manner.

Jiang Yuan and Jiang Huai said that they could use sacks filled with sand to block the river water. It might only have a small effect, but it was better than doing nothing.

This method has been discussed in all the villages and towns along the line. Before the people evacuated, each village organized to make a lot of sandbags and placed them on both sides of the Heihe River and at their doorsteps.

There are some villages that will be completely submerged if a flood disaster occurs. There is no need for these sandbags. The court also sent people to conduct statistics from house to house.

The people took the valuables in their homes and followed the soldiers who came to pick them up, leaving the village looking back every few steps.

In fact, when the villages first started telling the story, no one believed it because there had never been such a thing as advance resettlement.

In previous years, the imperial court would send people to provide disaster relief after the flood, and the same was true the following year.

Those who have the conditions to move away have moved away, but most people do not have this ability. They can only wait for the disaster to complete the damage and then come back to clean up in silence. As time goes by, they can only become poorer and poorer.

This year was different. It wasn’t until the imperial court really came and a meeting was held in the village that I felt vaguely aware of it, but I still didn’t dare to really believe it.

The village chief was right. No matter how the imperial court arranged for them to be resettled, at least if they left here, no one would die.

A few people die every year. In serious cases, not many people survive in an entire village. At least I was able to save my life this year.

Therefore, the relocation and resettlement work went more smoothly than expected.

When Zhou Qian'an went back to deliver the letter, Lushan's work was handed over to Yuan Mingyi, and Jiang Huai and Lu Chuan had already left for Zhuo'an County.

The resettlement materials from the imperial court arrived first. After Qu Ying and the others put down their luggage, they followed Yuan Ming to see them.

In a large open space outside the town, there were tents set up that stretched as far as the eye could see.

“Each village is divided into areas, and one tent can accommodate 20 people. For villages with a small population, three tents are enough.

Each village is equipped with one or two tents for cooking. Now the village chiefs come to collect food according to the number of people in the village. It's okay now, but I don't know how long it will take for the floods to end this year. I'm afraid there won't be enough food."

Qu Ying did not go over, but looked at it from a distance. The open space was very nice. The town was located on high ground and had never been flooded. There were no trees or earth slopes near the open space.

Outside each tent, there is a circle of stones, three layers of sandbags are piled on the stones, and the tent is surrounded by a fence so that even in a strong wind, the tent will not be blown away.

“I asked Xiao Si and Xiao Wu to go to other towns to buy food and deliver it here. We also need to prepare a special house to store it.

The place we live in has so many people that there is no place to put the food, and if it rains, the food can’t get wet.”

Yuan Mingyi was a little surprised, but after hearing what Qu Ying said, he quickly nodded and agreed, "No problem, I'll find a house or a warehouse when I get back."

As he spoke, thunder began to rumble in the sky. Zhou Qian urged the two to get on the carriage and leave quickly, as it was obvious that a heavy rain was about to fall.

Not long after getting on the carriage, raindrops as big as beans began to fall, hitting the roof of the carriage, making a bang.

Back at their residence, Siyun escorted Qu Ying with an umbrella. However, from the time she got off the carriage to the time she entered the house, it was only a few steps and she was already soaked by the rain.

Not only was the rain heavy, but there was also wind, so the umbrella was completely useless.

"Girls, change your wet clothes quickly to avoid catching a cold." As soon as they entered the house, the soaked girls started to change their clothes.

There were two aunties in the house who helped with cooking every day. Because Qu Ying would come, Jiang Huai specially arranged three girls to wait here. They were all from nearby families. He gave them money and asked them to come over temporarily to help take care of the family.

When they arrived, the three girls had already met Qu Ying. Chunzhi, Luzhu and the other three girls saw that it was going to rain, so they prepared clean clothes and boiled hot water.

After washing up, Qu Ying sighed as she watched the heavy rain pouring down outside.

Chunzhi smiled and held a cup of hot tea, "Girl, my girl also sighed at the heavy rain outside a few days ago."

Qu Ying lowered her head and said worriedly, "I don't know how A Yuan is doing."
