After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women

Now seeing the miserable state of Henan Prefecture, I don’t know how painful my heart must be.

"I can still hold on!" Lord Li pushed the attendant away, took a deep breath, and sat up firmly again.

He had to stay calm so that he could get to the government office that was worst hit as soon as possible. Disaster relief was urgent and the people could not wait a moment longer.

On that day, Lord Li and a group of officials sorted out the list of disaster victims overnight. After calculating the amount of silver and grain needed for disaster relief in each county, he immediately ordered people to invite Su Qinchao.

He was asked to arrange soldiers to send disaster relief silver and grain to various counties overnight.

Su Qinchao was helping to repair the roof of the county government at this time. He happened to be on the eaves next to the room where Li Ge Lao and other officials were. Upon hearing this, he immediately jumped down from the eaves:

"No need, I'm here!" Su Qinchao stood in the yard and nodded to the surprised Li Ge Lao, "I'll take your orders!" He also wanted to do his best.

Just now when he was repairing the roof, what he hated most was that he had learned nothing about geography and history in his previous life. He could not help at all, even if he could remember a little bit of the records in history books.

Soldiers were arranged to go to various counties overnight, and the people underground were told not to be careless in the slightest and to hand over the money and food to the disaster relief officials in various counties as soon as possible.

He also led a team of people carrying money and food to one of the places. This matter was under the attention of the whole court. If they failed to handle it well, they would not be able to bear the consequences.

After two days of hard work, in addition to properly handing over the money and grain, he also helped Yuzhou County make preliminary disaster relief arrangements. Only after seeing with his own eyes that the situation in Yuzhou had improved slightly did he rush back to report.

He was the fifth team to come back to report, and there were others whose journeys were longer and would take longer.

Since he had nothing to do anyway, Su Qinchao asked to see Lord Li and took the initiative to ask for a job to repair the house.

"Brothers, Henan Prefecture is in serious disaster, and those who are suffering are all brothers and sisters of our Wu Dynasty. You never know if we are related to each other. Now that we have nothing to do, how about we help the people repair their houses? It will be considered as accumulating good karma for our families!"

Most people of this era have some faith in Buddhism and are willing to do what they can.

"Let's follow Captain Su!" Many soldiers saw Captain Su repairing the roof of the government office a few days ago. Since Captain Su, a sixth-rank Zhaowu captain, could do it, there was nothing they couldn't do.

For a while, under the leadership of Su Qinchao, everyone worked enthusiastically, greatly accelerating the progress of local post-disaster reconstruction.

...

Su Qinchao wiped his face, picked up the hoe and dug up the blocked channel. Immediately, the water rushed down and flowed into the nearby tributary.

They have been with Lord Li in Henan Prefecture for a month and a half, and initially helped to repair houses in the county town.

Later, as the water level dropped, it slowly radiated to the surrounding counties, and now even followed the river officials to start clearing the ditches.

He witnessed with his own eyes how Henan Prefecture regained its vitality under the leadership of Lord Li, and hope gradually appeared on the faces of the people.

I believe that in the near future, when the early-harvest grain seeds are sent down from above, we will be able to plant a wave while the weather is still warm.

In this way, there will be a harvest before winter, and the people of Henan Prefecture will have more hope.

"Master, there is a letter from home." Guanqi took advantage of Su Qinchao's lunch time to hand him the letter in his arms.

"Yunniang is pregnant!" Su Qinchao exclaimed. This news brought a smile to his face, which had been heavy for a long time, and it was like the sun shining through the clouds.

"Ah, what great news!" Guanqi couldn't help laughing. Ever since he followed the young master to Henan Prefecture and witnessed so many separations and deaths, he suddenly felt much more enlightened.

Now that he heard the news that Yunniang was pregnant, he was only happy for Su Qinchao. Perhaps this was because he loved Yunniang so much that he loved her too.

"Young Master, while there is still time, please write a reply to the Young Madam." Without waiting for Su Qinchao to reply, Guan Qi had already swiftly taken out paper and pen.

"Let's write it in the evening. There is still a lot to do on the river." Although he was happy, Su Qinchao was still very clear about what to do now.

Yunniang has no worries about food and clothing in Chang'an, and the situation in Henan Prefecture is only slightly better now.

And I heard from Lord Li yesterday that there will be a locust plague after the flood. Although there are not many surviving farmlands in Henan Prefecture, any harvest we can get is welcome.

If a locust plague really comes, I'm afraid the entire north will not be spared.

Fortunately, a while ago a centenarian recommended a method, saying that burning mugwort can drive away locusts.

After testing, it was found to be effective. Combined with the method left by Yao Chong, I might be able to pass this level this time.

That night, after Su Qinchao returned to the government office, he fell asleep on the couch without even having time to wash up, let alone write a reply to Yunniang.

It was not until I woke up the next morning that I remembered it. I quickly picked up my pen and wrote a few words and asked Guanqi to send it back.

Today he is going to take the soldiers to collect mugwort in case of emergency. In half a month, they will probably have to follow Lord Li back to Beijing, so any help they can provide is welcome.
