From the end to the other world

After entering the border of Danzhou and parting ways, and then to Xigu, Qin Luochuan and his group only rested for the first half of the night, and continued on their way in the second half of the night.

Shang Minghe even circled around without resting at all on the way, so after arriving in Xigu and handing over [-] carts of things to Qin Luochuan, he took his group of soldiers to catch up on sleep.

Qin Luochuan sat at the door of the warehouse and chatted with the night watchmen. He didn't sleep all day and all night, but his energy was very good.

Qin Luochuan couldn't help but shook his head secretly when he thought that Pei Qingrong said that the prisoners were unlucky and that the seven cars burned were not food.

Although he has always been lucky, he spent three years in the end-time environment where he would die if he was not careful. If it wasn't for accidents, he might have survived for a longer time. It was not just luck.

More is to be cautious and plan ahead.

Now that he knew that something might happen on the road, and there was room for such a cheating artifact, Qin Luochuan couldn't have put things so brightly as targets.

Not to mention the supplies they escorted themselves, even the twenty carts that Shang Minghe sent had already been exchanged by Qin Luochuan on the road, leaving only two carts of grain.

And the two carts of food left behind were the same as the ones he had escorted over, but they were just to prepare for the situation where porridge was needed this afternoon, and he didn't have time to exchange everything for a while.

Now all the things have been replaced and piled up in the warehouse, tomorrow Zhao Zhang will bring someone over to check the quantity, with Qin Luochuan's cautious character, of course he has to guard it by himself tonight.

In addition to the escorts brought by Qin Luochuan himself in the county government, there are three groups of soldiers from Guangrong City. Even if all the people brought by Shang Minghe have rested, Sun Dingping and Pei Qingrong have also arranged people to watch the night and patrol. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the people at the gate of the warehouse are iron walls.

There was nothing wrong all night, and at dawn the next day, Zhao Zhang brought people over to check the supplies. Qin Luochuan graciously opened the door of the warehouse and led Zhao Zhang's people in.

Zhao Zhang brought a lot of people, and in less than an hour, he finished counting all the supplies. Since there was no problem, he didn't drag Qin Luochuan along, and immediately asked someone to stamp the list and return it to Qin Luochuan.

Although Qin Luochuan didn't need to discuss with others how to use these materials in the future, the things are here, and the people who came with him from the capital are not vegetarians, so they will naturally supervise the use and whereabouts of the materials.

After sending Zhao Zhang away, Qin Luochuan heaved a sigh of relief and was finally able to do other things with peace of mind. Since he entered Danzhou territory, it has been clear for three days, and the flood that flooded the entire plain has almost receded. Many things have to be arranged quickly.

After a night of rest, Shang Ming and the others had already woken up. Seeing Qin Luochuan's appearance that he hadn't slept all night, Shang Minghe couldn't help but frowned, "You didn't sleep last night?"

"Slept at the warehouse door for a while." Qin Luochuan chose to tell a harmless lie.

Shang Minghe didn't expose it either. After all, disaster relief is a major event. As the main responsible official, it is normal for Qin Luochuan to worry too much. But as a relative, he still reminded him: "Remember that Qingyue and Xiaotuanzi are still waiting for you in Rongcheng."

"I know." Qin Luochuan nodded. After experiencing the end of the world, his physique is much better than normal people. It's just that he didn't sleep for two nights. It's really nothing. If he really can't stand it, he won't take himself body jokes.

After a simple breakfast, several people went to the gate of the town together. The porridge was being provided there now, and the most victims gathered there. If something happened, it would be the fastest to spread the news there.

When Qin Luochuan arrived, the porridge relief was coming to an end, but there were still many victims wandering not far away, perhaps because they had eaten something, seeing them no longer had the fear they had yesterday, and instead gathered around , and asked Qin Luochuan when he would start organizing to clean up the silt.

Qin Luochuan was a little surprised. He didn't understand what was going on until he saw the young people on the west slope the night before yesterday among the crowd.

He directly stated the arrangement that he had just discussed with Shang Ming and them, "The dredging will start this afternoon. Except for the elderly and children with limited mobility, everyone else must participate. Every ten people will be in a small team, and each team will have one soldier. Together with you, if someone is lazy or avoids going, no food will be given at night."

Although the victims all wanted to return to their homes as soon as possible, none of them thought that they might not be able to get food, so as soon as Qin Luochuan finished speaking, chattering discussions immediately spread from the crowd.

Qin Luochuan knew that this would be the result, so he raised his voice and continued: "Clear the silt as soon as possible, so that we can plant the next season's grain in time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the noisy crowd immediately quieted down. After a while, an old man said: "Your Excellency is right. Only when the next season's grain is harvested can we survive this winter." .”

It's only mid-May now, and it's still far away from winter. Although the old man's words are not pleasant, they hit the point of everyone's most feared thing.

The flood has already destroyed one season's grain. If there is no harvest in the next season, the supplies sent by the court will not be able to make the people affected by the disaster in the entire Danzhou survive until this winter.

Although there are only so many people near the West Valley, but further south, after the flood recedes, it is impossible for the imperial court to ignore the people there.

There was only a moment of silence, and immediately someone said: "But my house has no seeds, how can I plant the next season's food."

"The official brought the seeds from the capital," Qin Luochuan said, "As long as those who clear the silt or perform other outstanding performances, they can get the corresponding seeds as rewards."

As soon as he finished speaking, the victims were more anxious than him. Those who could escape to the West Valley would not live too far from here. If the silt was cleared as soon as possible, and the land was turned over and exposed to the sun for a few days, with the current situation With the weather, it won't take long for the seeds to germinate.

Everyone seems to be able to foresee the harvest situation.

Of course, in addition to rewards, there must also be punishments.

If people around you have a high fever or feel unwell and don't report it, they will all be disqualified from getting seeds.

This point must be strict. After all, after the flood, more attention should be paid to epidemic prevention than dredging.

The imperial physicians from the capital had already started working after arriving yesterday.

There are also human and animal corpses that will inevitably be found after the flood recedes. If the corruption is not serious, they must be buried deep, and if the corruption is serious, they must be burned.

These are all things that must be implemented.

Fortunately, the victims in Danzhou knew the severity of the plague, and no one thought it was wrong to hear Qin Luochuan's arrangements.

It's just that the victims were not organized, and there were only a very small number of people who gathered here and heard Qin Luochuan's arrangements.

But the soldiers in Rongcheng are different. Qin Luochuan asked one soldier to lead ten victims to form a group. It was also because of the strict organization in the barracks that all the arrangements could be clearly communicated to each soldier, and then the soldiers communicated to the victims to form a team. Unbroken chain of messages.

With the leadership of organized and disciplined people from the Southwest Army, the dredging work was fully launched in the afternoon. Because there were rewards and everyone knew that only by clearing the farmland as soon as possible could they plant food, the victims were all active.

Qin Luochuan didn't forget the prisoners who tried to burn the food before. Now that food is in short supply, there are not too many people working. Since they can't be executed like this, of course they must maximize their value.

Sun Dingping is very good at dealing with prisoners. After listening to Qin Luochuan's plan, he clapped his hands and agreed, "Yes, let them go to dredge together, put one in each team, and then tell the victims that these people want to Burning the food for disaster relief, so that we don’t need our own people to do the most dangerous things, and the victims of the disaster will definitely treat people like dead, and the prisoners will not even try to escape with their wings.”

After finishing speaking, he couldn't wait to turn around, "I'll make arrangements now."

Qin Luochuan nodded, "Leave the two leaders behind."

"I know." Sun Dingping replied, the rest of the prisoners can do whatever they want, but the two leaders are reserved for interrogating the people behind the scenes.

From leaving the town in the morning until the sun was about to set, Qin Luochuan returned to the town with the soldiers who had returned from dredging. At noon, he only ate porridge and a steamed bun with the victims.

Even Sun Dingping, who grew up in the military camp, couldn't hold it anymore, and whispered to Qin Luochuan: "My lord, let's go back early. I want to have a good meal and rest for another night. I won't be until tomorrow." The spirit went deep into the southern plains to save lives."

He is just at the age when he is motivated to do things but lacks stamina. He rushed to the valley overnight to rescue, and today is another day of dredging and epidemic prevention arrangements, so he is indeed tired.

Sun Dingping helped Qin Luochuan a lot, and he also worked hard. Qin Luochuan was naturally happy to satisfy this small request, "Go back and rest early, I brought some dried meat from the capital, and I will share some with you. "

"Thank you, sir~" Sun Dingping's eyes flashed with Qin Luochuan's familiar light, which was exactly the same as when Yang Xi heard about the fairy chicken, "I heard from my father that my lord has a teahouse in the capital, and jerky is a must. I didn't expect it to be so Will be lucky enough to taste it soon.”

Qin Luochuan: ...

Next to him, Shang Minghe and Pei Qingrong showed familiar expressions.

When they reached the gate of the town, they were stopped. The young men who had sent them prisoners on the west slope before stepped forward and asked, "Are you going to take people into the southern plain to search and rescue tomorrow?"

"That's right." Qin Luochuan nodded. The vicinity of Xigu was not considered the worst affected area, and all the things to be done have been arranged today, leaving Shang Minghe and Pei Qingrong here to deal with the corresponding matters, and to guard the county government. There are enough supplies.

He himself planned to take people into the plains to search and rescue survivors, and the sooner the animal carcasses left after the flood receded, the better the plague would be avoided.

The young man asked: "We want to go with the adults, can we?"

"Of course." Qin Luochuan nodded. Searching and rescuing and disposing of corpses is much more difficult than dredging. Naturally, it would be great if victims of the disaster voluntarily joined, "We will start from the town at the right time tomorrow, and we will meet here. "

The young man replied: "Yes."

Before leaving, Qin Luochuan asked again: "By the way, what's your name."

The young man bowed his head and cupped his hands, "Yu Qi."

Qin Luochuan nodded, feeling that the name was a bit awkward to pronounce.
