Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

As the days passed, summer soon arrived. A sudden rainstorm suddenly struck. No one had expected this rainstorm, not even the Sitianjian had predicted it.

The rainstorm started at the hour of Chou on the second day of June and was still falling at the hour of Mao. After the rainstorm had lasted for about an hour, someone came to inform the county magistrate. Magistrate Tian arrived at the government office, and the county magistrate, the chief clerk, and the county lieutenant also arrived.

"Sir, this heavy rain may cause floods. The county lieutenant has already sent people to check the situation. But this heavy rain will not stop soon, and the people's houses and farmland will suffer." County Magistrate Cui Yu immediately informed the county magistrate when he saw him.

"Captain Huang, you must immediately take some people to inform the villages to check the situation and arrange for the people who are at risk to take refuge in safe places. Hurry."

"Yes, Magistrate Tian."

"Mr. Qian, you go and arrange for some people to build a safe greenhouse, find people to clean out the houses that can be used in the county, and then find some people to ask the clinic to buy some herbs that can dispel wind and cold, and boil them.

Zhao Zhubu, you should record the income and expenditure, and take out all the things that can be used in the county. Go and get busy, and don't forget to check the disaster situation. You will also have to report to the court when the time comes."

"It's an adult."

The rain continued all night and did not stop in the morning, but it was much lighter. The yamen runners were busy all night shuttling between villages and towns, and because of their timely response, there were no too many casualties.

At this time, the resettlement areas at the city gates were crowded with people. The yamen runners found a few healthy women to help cook porridge and ginger soup to drive away the cold.

"County lieutenant, quickly send more people to the river bank to raise the embankment with sand and gravel, and organize some villagers to clear the silt from all sections of the Song River so that the river water can flow smoothly into the sea."

"Yes, my lord"

Afterwards, the wealthy families in the city summoned by County Magistrate Tian also arrived at the county government hall.

"Everyone, although the rainstorm has stopped, the post-disaster reconstruction and the lives of the victims still need your help to complete this county."

"Sir, we are all citizens of Hu County. Thanks to your wise governance, we have not suffered any losses this time." Qian Dagui replied quickly.

"Well, thank you very much, I would like to thank you on behalf of the people of the whole county." The county magistrate made a cross-arm salute. "This disaster requires you to distribute porridge in the city. Our county government will set up a shed and send a few yamen runners to help maintain the site. We will write the name of the family who contributed to the porridge distribution in the shed, and engrave their names on a monument in the county to publicize your good deeds."

The masters were very happy to hear this. As merchants, who doesn't want to have a good reputation? All of them responded and went back to instruct their subordinates to start preparing for the event.

After several days of unremitting efforts, the people were finally properly resettled, and the casualties were not serious, but most of the farmland was destroyed. Due to heavy rain and floods, the school just opened today.

"This street is much quieter than before, and there are a lot more beggars." Tian Fuer sighed as he sat opposite Tian Xinger.

"Yes, although the disaster this time is not as serious as in the past, it still caused many people to lose their homes and fields. I'm afraid Dad will be worried about this again."

"Sister, what do you think we can do to help them?"

"The previous porridge distribution can only solve temporary needs and is not a long-term solution. If we want to solve their problems, we need to provide them with jobs so that they can have enough food and clothing. This may be better." Tian Xinger thought of the street she had seen before and planned to build a food street there, which might be of some help.
