General, this plot is wrong

Not more than a month after Lu Ting left, an earthquake occurred in the south of the Yangtze River.

The first to bear the brunt is Yangzhou City.

Based on the modern knowledge that Chu Heng possesses, Yangzhou in this world is almost the same as Yangzhou in his previous life in terms of the location of the map.It stands to reason that there is no active seismic zone.

However, the great movement of the earth dragon in Yangzhou City actually happened.

The earthquake occurred at night.

At that time, Chu Heng was sleeping soundly, and the room was still burning with soothing incense.In the middle of the night, thunder suddenly came from the northeast, and everyone in the villa was awakened for a while. After the sound, but after a short pause, there were several loud noises one after another.

Chu Heng still didn't understand what happened. Old Chen had already knocked on the door, shouting to leave the room quickly.

Chu Heng came out of the room half-believingly, and then stood still outside the corridor, and the earth shook for a while.

At that moment, Chu Heng's mind flashed a series of my words.

Damn, there was an earthquake!

The center of the earthquake is probably not in Yuncheng.

After a moment of confusion, the shaking had stopped.After Chu Heng calmed down, he walked quickly to the middle hall. The servants in Zhuangzi had spontaneously gathered together at this moment, and their faces didn't look very good.

"Is anyone hurt?"

Chu Heng stood under the corridor of the middle hall, looking at all the servants who ran out of the house to seek refuge because they were only wearing their jackets because of panic.Fortunately, the shock was not very strong, and apart from some disgraced faces, no trauma was seen.

After confirming that no one of the servants was injured, Chu Hen quickly found a few stewards and ordered them to go around to see if any of the eight tenants had an accident.If there is, the whole family will stay close to Zhuangzi for a while.

Several stewards retreated in response, and the servants saw that there was no danger for the time being, and returned to their rooms one after another.

Chu Heng stayed in the middle hall. Seeing that old Chen's face was still not looking good, he asked in a low voice, "What is Guanshi Chen worried about?"

Old Chen sighed: "I heard the sound just now, coming from the direction of Yangzhou, I'm afraid it was an earthquake in Yangzhou."

Chu Heng vaguely remembered that in the books he had read, there was a record of "thunder coming from the ground" before the earthquake.Thinking back now, the string of thunder that I heard just now was obviously a warning before the earthquake, and judging from the direction from which the thunder came, it was indeed Yangzhou.

"Yangzhou...I'm afraid it's not very good."

Old Chen shook his head: "Yuncheng is close to Yangzhou, so there must be disasters in Yuncheng due to the earthquake. I'm afraid, there are several places around Yangzhou... Our Zhuangzi is here, maybe we will encounter some troubles."

Chu Heng was silent.

After all, Old Chen has lived here for many years, he is old, and has a lot of experience, so his judgment on earthquakes is obviously infallible.

Sure enough, at dawn the next day, some tenants who stayed in Yuncheng for some reason hurried back to the villa, and brought back the news about Yuncheng and other places.

"Last night, I heard that there was a thunderous sound underground in Yangzhou. After the thunder broke down, the ground suddenly trembled. Those who heard the sound said that there were thousands of troops rushing on their way." Under the corridor, "Yangzhou's government began to check everywhere last night. It is known that there are more than [-] villages around Yangzhou that have been affected by the disaster. Nearly [-] tile houses collapsed, more than [-] thatched houses were no longer usable, and more than a thousand people were killed or injured... The exact number of people who died is still being investigated..."

Chu Heng couldn't believe it: "So serious?"

"Many old people say that they have never encountered such a severe earthquake in their old age."

After listening to the tenant's description, Chu Heng realized that this natural disaster was more serious than he expected.

He had never experienced a major earthquake in his previous life, and he had only seen two earthquakes in China on the news.It was only later that he got to know the officers and soldiers who participated in the earthquake rescue at that time, and he realized that there are so many shocking stories behind such a high-speed, efficient, and highly humanized modern disaster relief system.

But now, what Chu Heng is facing is not the blocked mountain road that can be dug with an excavator, the officers and soldiers who can rely on airborne to participate in the rescue, or the mutual assistance of the army and the people with one heart, but the need to send a message to the court. More than a month of ancient times.

"A cow!"

Chu Heng yelled, and Shao Aniu came out from the side: "Lang Jun!"

Chu Heng frowned, and tapped his fingers on the table: "Take a few people and go to Yangzhou to see how the Chu family is doing. Yuan Zhi."

The tenant who came to pass the message was named Yuan Zhi, and when he saw Chu Heng calling his name, he hurriedly responded.

"Yuan Zhi, you also bring a few people to Yuncheng to investigate the disaster situation in the city."

Chu Heng has no concern for the Chu family in Yangzhou, but if he doesn't care about the Chu family at this time, if something happens to the Chu family, Chu Dafu will not embarrass him, but the Liao family may not.He still didn't want Chu Dafu and his family to hide in Bieyun Villa for refuge.

After Shao Aniu and Yuan Zhi got the word, they turned around and hurried down to do things.

Chu Heng lowered his head and took a sip of the tea. The originally bland tea went around in his mouth and felt bitter and astringent for no reason.

"Baishu." Having lost the mind to drink tea, Chu Heng dropped the teacup and called to Baishu directly, "Go and see how many herbs are still in the pharmacy, and then follow the medicine plan I wrote in the past for epidemic prevention and treatment, and put all the medicines that can be used." The herbs used are listed separately."

"Saburo is worried that there will be an epidemic?"

Chu Heng closed his eyes and nodded.

Epidemic prevention is needed after the earthquake, as we know from games and news.Chu Heng remembered watching the post-earthquake news and seeing the epidemic prevention center spraying potions in the earthquake area to prevent the outbreak of large-scale epidemics caused by the dead and dead livestock buried under the ruins. He naturally thought of the current situation.

The high temperature in August, dead bodies after the earthquake, if not cleaned up in time, the corpses after high temperature tend to rot faster and breed a lot of germs.The cleanliness of the water source after the earthquake cannot be guaranteed.

Thinking of this, he hurried to the pharmacy in person to find out the medicine records and herbal medicines for the prevention and treatment of dysentery.

Three days later, Shao Aniu and Yuan Zhi who came back from Yangzhou, Yuncheng and other places brought back shocking news——

The Yangzhou earthquake caused the rich merchants in the city to take the opportunity to drive up prices. The price of grain increased from 150 yuan per bucket of rice to [-] yuan, and a catty of salt rose from [-] yuan to [-] yuan.And these four hundred Wen were enough to buy a waistcoat or a pig before the earthquake.

"What about the Chu family?" Chu Heng couldn't help asking.

Shao A Niu took a look at Chu Heng, although he wanted to say something nice, but he was clumsy and tongue-tied, and he said straight away: "Mr. Lang and Da Lang look pretty good, although the house has been destroyed, but everyone is fine. Before leaving the city, I also heard that Mr. Lang sold grain mixed with old rice to the victims of the disaster."

At this time, Chu Heng really wanted to slap the table and scold a profiteer.

But then he thought that he was not only a half-businessman, but also a member of the Chu family, and suddenly felt exhausted.

"They really had a good plan." Chu Heng sighed softly.

He has no way to manage the affairs of the Chu family. The matter of the rich merchants in Yangzhou City taking the opportunity to drive up prices should be managed by the Yangzhou government.If the disaster-stricken people in Yangzhou are not expected to cause turmoil, such behaviors of wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou must be curbed.

Fortunately, the herbal medicine reserves in the villa are sufficient. Compared with the rich businessman, he has more important things to do.

Chu Heng was preparing to go to a nearby village with Yaoxiang to see the situation of the injured victims as usual.At this time, Old Chen came to report, saying: "Your Majesty, many people have come outside."

"Is it an injured villager?" Chu Heng said as he was about to leave.

From the day of the earthquake, occasionally injured villagers were sent to the villa with the support of their families to ask for help.Because of the distance from Yangzhou, most of the villagers in the villages they lived in were only slightly injured, and occasionally some were seriously injured. With Chu Heng's help, they all survived, but they still needed time to recuperate.

Old Chen said at this time: "No, they are the people who fled from Yangzhou."

Looking at the black mass of heads outside the door, Chu Heng couldn't stand still.

There were no more than a hundred people in the entire Bieyun Villa, but there were hundreds of people standing outside the door and looking at him expectantly.

Most of these people dragged their sons and daughters into battle, and some people were obviously from poor families, and even the straw sandals under their feet were worn out during the journey.

They were huddled outside the door and were noisy, talking to each other about what happened when the earthquake happened.But when Chu Heng came out, everyone fell silent.

It is said that Mr. Chu Lang of Bieyun Villa is a well-known good man.

It was because of the good name of this good man that they had nowhere to go, and they came to seek refuge.

However, seeing the young man with black hair and black clothes standing in front of the door, everyone was a little hesitant, worried that with so many of them, they would not be able to get his help.

"You guys, why are you here?" Chu Heng asked.

An elderly man walked out of the crowd with a cane and said, "The earthquake in Yangzhou caused everyone's homes to be lost and the land to be destroyed."

Another strong man shouted: "Those rich people in Yangzhou deliberately drove up the price of food. Now everyone can't even eat, so we can only come out and see."

Someone probably thought that the owner of Bieyun Villa was also surnamed Chu, and that he was the divided son of the Chu family in Yangzhou, and that the Chu family also played the role of profiteers after the earthquake, slapping the strong man by raising his hand.

Chu Heng naturally heard what the strong man said, but he didn't feel dissatisfied at all.

He looked at the dark people outside the door in a daze, and felt a little emotional for a while. When he came back to his senses, he quickly called a few stewards: "Find a few strong people to build some sheds together. Let’s live together in a shed.” He glanced at the people who seemed much more relaxed after learning that they were allowed to stay, and continued, “Carry the wounded to the wing.”

Although Bieyun Villa is big, it has more fields than houses, although it can temporarily live in several nearby villages.But in special times, no one can guarantee that there will be any accidents.He gathered all the wounded together, not only for the convenience of treatment, but also to prevent the spread of some diseases.

Chu Heng also invited the family members of those common people together, saying that they could all live here before the imperial court sent people to relieve the disaster.But after the imperial court came, except for the wounded who had not yet recovered, everyone had to go home.

The villa cannot afford to support so many people.

Those people now only want to have a bite to eat. Seeing that Chu Heng allowed to stay temporarily and can help them take care of their injured family members, they kowtowed and thanked them a thousand times.

Chu Heng waved his hand.

He did these things out of the most basic kindness.He is not good at calculation, and the only thing that can be called intentional is to save Lu Ting.

But after saving someone, he got his own ass... As soon as he thought about it, Chu Heng couldn't help but shake his head, shaking all the vague memories of that night out of his head.

The sheds for people were erected quickly.

Together with the common people who came to ask for help, the tenants built several sheds within a day.Those who came with their families lived together, and those whose family members died due to the earthquake were specially arranged elsewhere.

Chu Heng gathered all the injured people in the wing room.

On one side of the long corridor, several rooms in a row are used as temporary wards.

Chu Heng rushed in the corridor with five flavors.

Bai Shu brought a few servants to boil hot water, threw all the clothes that the wounded had changed into the hot water, boiled and washed them.

Just when Chu Heng was so busy that he could hardly use the nine needles, another person came from Bieyun Villa.

It's just that this time, they weren't such good people—there came a group of rogues who took advantage of the fire to loot.
