It didn't take much time to go from the refuge in Baihe Village to other villages. The villages next to Baihe Village all had about the same population as Baihe Village.

When Tang Zisheng arrived, he asked the centurion who was assigned to be in charge of the shelter.Although there were a few small troubles, they were all suppressed in the end, and those troublemakers were also tied up, and they were sent to the foot of the mountain as soon as the rain stopped, and inspector Miao took over.

However, not every place is smooth. In some villages, Tang Zisheng went to the front, and then a few elderly women and brothers from the village came over, with mournful faces.

Don't even need to listen to what they want to do, Tang Zisheng knows that he must have come to sell miserably and ask for compensation.

"My lord, you can't just ignore us. Our family lives on livestock. Now that a flood is coming, those animals must have been washed away, and even the grain grown in the ground has disappeared. You If we leave us alone, we will not be able to survive this day."

A group of people were crying and crying. Tang Zisheng really couldn't help it, so he had to say, "I know that your family has suffered heavy losses this time, but the imperial court has already raised money for disaster relief and is on the way here. When the time comes, report your losses to the village chief." , and then sent to the county government by the village chief, and will be compensated after the county government handles and verifies."

Natural disasters and man-made disasters, it is normal to have state compensation. If Tang Zisheng was not really cash-strapped, he would have given it more than money if the court didn't give it.

Of course, it was his cheap father-in-law who sent the money this time, and with the skill of Prime Minister Yan, he still believed that the money would be delivered to the affected people in full.

"Your Excellency's words are serious, you can't lie to us." Hearing that there was money to compensate, the man stopped crying, and excitedly asked how much money the imperial court would pay.

"Several uncles and aunts, we will not know about the matter of the silver until the people from the court come. Now you ask us and we don't know the specific situation, so naturally we can't tell you nonsense. If you say more or less by then, won't you Have fun for nothing." Xu Qingcheng took up the conversation, and he still has some experience in dealing with the uncles and aunts in the village.

"That's the reason. Don't pester the adults anymore. The adults are still in a hurry to go to the next village to see the situation. You should go back to embroider things in peace. When the water goes down, you can sell them in the county. Food, so you won’t be hungry.”

The village head of this village has been listening quietly, and with a word from the county magistrate, he has a certainty in his heart, and he is annoyed by asking people, what to do if they wear small shoes when the time comes to give them the village money.

"What the village chief said is as if the water only flooded our village. When the water level goes down, the shops in the county will definitely not be able to open."

And even if it is opened, the money given must not be much, and it will be a waste of effort, it is better to rest for two more days, save some strength and wait for work later.

Later, the village chief said something to this group of women who liked to chat, but Tang Zisheng and Xu Qingcheng had already escaped first.

"Huh, let Mo Yansheng handle this matter in the future." Tang Zisheng had a headache, he was not afraid of dealing with people, he was afraid that he would like to deal with troublesome people.

"Mr. Mo manages such a big village by himself, so he probably doesn't have time to do these things." Xu Qingcheng laughed at Tang Zisheng, it turns out that Zisheng is not omnipotent.

"Those who can do more work, he wasted two years before, and now he has to do more practical things to make up for what he owed before."

Tang Zisheng is used to knowing people and using them well, so he must use the abilities of his subordinates to the extreme.

"That makes sense." Xu Qingcheng nodded, although it was a bit pitiful to think of Mr. Mo like this, but who let Mr. Mo fall into Zisheng's hands now.

"Let's go to one more village and we will go back to Baihe Village." It will be late at that time, and it will be raining in the mountains. It must be dangerous. Go back early, and the rest of the villages will leave tomorrow morning.

"Okay." Xu Qingcheng wasn't tired at all, but the road in the mountains was too muddy, and it took a long time to walk, "By the way, Brother Shen is watching from Lianhua Village, so I don't know what's going on there? "

Lianhua Village is a big village, with twice as many people as Baihe Village. There are always frictions due to the large number of people. There are no county officials to suppress them, so it is not clear what the situation is.

"Well, I arranged for you and Shen Huwei to deal with the village side, and I also arranged for nearly a hundred people to watch over the soldiers over there, so they won't go on business trips."

The manpower arranged by Lianhua Village is the place where Tang Zisheng has placed the most manpower outside the county, so there is no need to worry about safety.

"That's good." Xu Qingcheng felt a little relieved, and walked in the rain with Tang Zisheng again, even wearing a bamboo hat and draped over a straw hat, his heart was still somewhat depressed, "When will this rain stop?"

I haven't seen the sun for a long time, and my mood is very dull.

"Hurry up, the rain in the past few days has not been heavy repeatedly, and now it is considered to be drizzle, and the rain should stop in a few days at most."

The water level should be able to recede completely after the rain stops, but most of the houses in the village are built of yellow mud, and they are solid and reliable, but if they are washed by the flood, the roofs made of straw may not be able to stay. The situation in the county should be better .

"When the rain stops, will the construction of the outer city resume immediately or will it start again after a while?"

This will be affected by the disaster, and every household probably wants to make some money, not to mention a good New Year, at least repair the place where they live.

"This depends on the damage in the city. If you don't even have a place to eat or sleep for basic necessities, how can you continue to repair the outer city?"

"The houses in the inner city are all green brick and tile houses. The situation is definitely better than in the village, but many people in the village may have nowhere to go."

"That can only be crowded with people, or you can continue to live in the cave." Tang Zisheng doesn't know what the county government is like, "I remember that the roof of your house is thatched. I'm afraid it won't be able to live in people when I go back. gone."

"You want me and daddy to live in the county?" Xu Qingcheng understood the meaning of the invitation in Tang Zisheng's words after thinking about it.

"Naturally, I kept you living in the village and running back and forth because potatoes and sweet potatoes still need to be taken care of. Now the potatoes have been harvested, and the sweet potatoes are transplanted, but the rain is so heavy that the roots may be soaked. Since Without the factors of potatoes and sweet potatoes, it is more convenient for you and Uncle Xu to live in the county."

Xu Qingcheng was a little moved. After all, he always had to think about his father when he didn't think about himself. The houses in the village couldn't be lived in. It's just, "There's no one who lives together without getting married."

"It didn't exist before, but now it's a precedent. When the outer city is repaired in the future, I will definitely issue a new decree. As long as you are engaged, you can live together. Others still talk about it."

"What nonsense are you talking about? If the man you want to kiss abandons you all the time, wouldn't that girl or brother be miserable."

It's fine if you lose your youth, and you even lose your reputation. At that time, who would want to come to propose marriage.

"I'm just joking." Of course Tang Zisheng knew that what he did was not only helping these girls and brothers, but harming them. The current society is like this, even if we want to change, we can only do it step by step, "But they are them, I am me, Chances are Qingcheng also thinks that I'm a person who will always mess up and give up at the end."

Xu Qingcheng rolled his eyes cleverly, and replied with a smile, "I couldn't say it before, but now, my father is on his way to Cang'er County, if you dare to abandon me all the time, I'm afraid you will be interrupted." a leg."

One for dad, one for father.

"So cruel?" Tang Zisheng thought about it. If he was really a scumbag, the consequences would probably be worse than two broken legs, but three broken legs.

"Well, it's that cruel." Xu Qingcheng looked at him fiercely, expressing that he was cruel.

"Then I can't let go of this opportunity. I must let Qingcheng, you and Uncle Xu live in the county government office. I will please you both first. Then even if Mr. Yuezhang wants to find fault with me, you will help me." .”

"Hmm." Xu Qingcheng pretended to hesitate, but in the end he was destroyed by Tang Zisheng's hot hands, and two red marks appeared on his white and tender face, "Well, it seems that I should live in the past for the safety of my future husband. good."

Hearing what Qingcheng said, Tang Zisheng had no choice but to smile, "You."

The two walked slowly behind, talking very intimately in the eyes of others, and there was a flirtatious atmosphere around them. The soldiers who were leading the way were embarrassed to turn back, but who knew that the rough man Miao inspector would not care. Whether it is a good thing to disturb Tang Zisheng or not, he coughed dryly beforehand to attract Tang Zisheng's attention, and then reported it truthfully.

"My lord, there is movement ahead. It might be a wild boar. You and Brother Xu are waiting here. I'll take someone to have a look."

"Yeah." Tang Zisheng nodded. His luck is not bad. He can encounter wild boars every time he goes up the mountain. Maybe he could earn a lot of money by learning hunting from the master of the village when he was not a county magistrate.

After all, it is a great bonus for him to encounter BUFF when he enters the mountain wild boar.

"Since it's agreed, you and Uncle Xu can go with me when I return to the county tomorrow." Anyway, the things in the village house are useless.

"Okay, I'm leaving, what about the village?" He still wanted to catch those guys who hit Xiao Jiujiu behind their backs before the rain stopped.

Tang Zisheng really wanted to get a cold salad, but when he thought of Qingcheng's gleaming eyes when he told him to investigate this matter, he didn't become that bully after all, "I'll come pick you up when the rain stops."

Xu Qingcheng counted the time, and in two or three days, he would definitely be able to find him, so he agreed.

-

The light rain was as Tang Zisheng expected, but after two or three days, it stopped completely. The sun, which had not been seen for nearly twenty days, finally showed up, and even the air smelled much better.

The water on the mountainside also began to drop early due to the smaller precipitation day by day. Although the water level had not returned to normal after the rain stopped, the water in the county town had receded.

Fortunately, the flood this time was somewhat different from the flood in Tang Zisheng's memory.If it really seemed like a big flood was coming over with lightning speed, I'm afraid the water level would not have receded so quickly.

After the guards who went to the county to investigate came back, the people in the cave in the county began to pack their things and prepare to go back.

Tang Zisheng also went back to the county government first. He had promised to pick up Qingcheng, but he still had to clean up the county government's back mansion first.

"Thank God, the tiles on my roof are still there." Zhou Nanchuan's mansion was closer to the city gate than the county government. He was worried these days because he was afraid that the house would only be a beam after returning to the county.

"Then you should take your family back to clean up earlier, and the county government may not have to come here for the time being." Tang Zisheng kindly gave Zhou Nanchuan a vacation.

"It can't be better than this, but when you go back to the county, you should be prepared mentally. The old project in the county government has been repaired for so many years. After soaking in the water for so long, it probably won't work."

Tang Zisheng twitched the corner of his mouth, Zhou Nanchuan gave him a mouthful of tainted milk when he left.

Facts have proved that sometimes there are good spirits and bad spirits. Tang Zisheng looked at the collapsed place in the front hall of the county government office, and he didn't know whether to say that he was glad that his place was still intact, or that Zhou Nanchuan was a crow. It's a pity not to be a god stick.
