Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

The ginger soup maker was busy and didn't have much patience:

"How would I know? Wait until you are assigned a place to live and then go out and ask around yourself."

Hearing this, Lu Sanweng had no choice but to be led to drink a bowl of porridge and then assigned a tent to live in.

Only then did he prepare to go out and inquire about the whereabouts of his children and grandchildren.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave the tent, he ran into his eldest son, Lu Daniu.

"Dad! I finally found you! I'm so glad you're okay!"

The father and son hugged each other and cried bitterly.

After crying for a long time, they finally calmed down and asked each other about their situations.

It turned out that after Lu Daniu had been walking with his brother and son for more than a day, they met a convoy led by Young Master Zheng on the road, who had sent the elderly, the weak, women, children and the sick like Xiaohu to Nandu City in advance.

When they arrived in Nandu City, they successfully found Xiaohu in the patient camp, and his illness was almost cured.

It is said that Xiaohu said that as soon as they arrived, there was a doctor to see them, and there was someone to make medicine for them. They were protected from the wind and rain, and they were warm and well fed, and were well taken care of.

The food they brought was bought by wealthy businessmen outside the camp at market prices and all exchanged for money.

Although the price was reduced a little because it was wet by the rain, it is still a very fair price.

Lu Sanweng was a little surprised:

"Those grain merchants are usually the most cunning. The grain that has been wet by the rain will soon sprout and mold. How dare they accept it?"

Lu Daniu nodded happily:

"Collect! Dad, you don't know that the people who came this time were all charity merchants. They bought the food and cooked it for the victims. It is said that those merchants donated millions of kilograms of food to the victims!"

"And the two big geese from our second uncle's family were also bought by the righteous merchants at a fair price. Finally, we don't have to worry about how to raise them anymore!"

"The herbs Xiaohu and his friends used were also donated by righteous merchants. The money for hiring a doctor was also donated by righteous merchants!"

Lu Sanweng had lived his whole life, and he had heard of and seen countless victims fleeing famine, and countless people whose families were destroyed.

I have never heard of disaster victims being resettled so well. Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but say with gratitude:

"We are so lucky this time to meet so many good people!"

"Yup!"

Lu Daniu nodded.

"I heard that so many merchants responded actively this time, mainly because of the call of Lord Yan from the Southern Capital. The fact that the camp of hundreds of thousands of people can be so well organized is also thanks to Lord Yan leading the yamen runners to preside over the arrangements!"

As he was speaking, he heard a commotion outside, and someone cheered:

"Master Yan is here!"

"Yan Qingtian is here!"

When the father and son came out of the tent, they saw a middle-aged man in an official robe holding an umbrella, followed by several yamen runners. They were obviously inspecting the camp in the rain.

Lu Sanweng was deeply moved.

"Lord Yan really loves the people like his own children. He is simply the best official in the world!"

Thinking of how he survived, he added:

"Lord Zheng of Yangzhou is also the best official! If Young Master Zheng hadn't personally led the convoy to pick us up, I'm afraid your father would have died on the way! When we have the conditions in the future, we will definitely offer them a longevity tablet!"

Lu Daniu nodded heavily.

There are many victims like Lu Sanweng's family.

Everyone was grateful to the officials and businessmen who participated in the disaster relief.

Zheng Yuannai, who was being urged to set up a longevity tablet for himself, was still busy in the camp.

The servant who followed couldn't help but remind him:

"Master, please take a break. You have been busy for many days in a row. Don't tire yourself out!"

Zheng Yuannai wiped the rain off his face with his sleeve and said nonchalantly:

"It's okay, I'm in good health now!"

In fact, he fell ill when he led the Yangzhou caravan back to the southern capital.

After all, his health was not better than that of ordinary people, and it took him a lot of effort to call on merchants in Yangzhou to contribute money and manpower. After organizing the manpower and materials, he hurried back to Nandu.

After all the rush, he fell ill on the way and was very ill when he got home.

I thought this time it would be dangerous.

Who knew it would be a blessing in disguise.

Taoist Master Huiyun, who had come down the mountain to inspect the disaster relief preparations, learned that he was ill and went back to report to the temple master.

The next day, he brought him a bottle of magic dew given by the temple master.

After drinking the magic dew, not only did his years of illness heal quickly, but he also felt like he had endless energy.

Upon learning of the reward he had received, his followers, many wealthy businessmen and officials, became envious and worked even harder.

Even the Mansion of Duke Dingguo not only donated five thousand taels, but also sent many servants and maids to participate in the disaster relief.

Because everyone knows that the master has been secretly paying attention to everyone's performance.

There is no doubt that when the disaster relief work is over, those who perform outstandingly will receive the rewards they have always dreamed of.

Zheng Yuannai himself was also greatly encouraged and became more enthusiastic about disaster relief.

However, because others were too active, he couldn't find anything to do in the camp for a while.

Later, he learned from the first batch of disaster victims that many elderly, weak, sick and disabled people had been left behind in the team. Then he suddenly had an idea and decided to organize a convoy to pick up the elderly, weak, women and children who had been left behind by the main force.

Now we have finally taken over the last batch, and there is no need to worry about anyone being drowned by the flood because they cannot walk.

I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

He would be away for a few days, so he had to go check on the situation at the Yangzhou caravan before taking a rest.

He has been too busy and tired recently and has not had the chance to gain weight. Next, he will eat, drink and sleep well.

When I return to the city after the disaster relief work is over, I will be reborn completely transformed and my wife will be astonished!

Humph, before he got tuberculosis, he was a handsome and elegant young man!

Hearing that all the disaster victims from the farthest county had arrived at the disaster camp, Huiyun, who came to inspect, boarded the carriage back to Cihang Temple.

When I returned to the temple, it was already dark.

Huiyun came over covered in sweat to report the situation to Chen Qingzhu.

Chen Qingzhu looked at her half-wet and half-dry robe and said:

"Got it. You should go take a shower and rest. You will have to continue supervising at the foot of the mountain tomorrow to ensure that the government's rescue efforts are continued in a timely manner."

It was also to bring fame to the merchants. When the disaster victims arrived at the camp, the first things they used were the supplies and money donated by the wealthy businessmen.

Those allocated by the imperial court were delivered in batches and were all put at the back.

By doing this, when the court's supplies arrive at once, there will be a clear total number, which will allow those in charge to be more restrained when they embezzle.

"Yes!"

Huiyun accepted the order in a sonorous voice, her eyes sparkling.

It was during this disaster relief that she realized for the first time that as a woman, she could also take charge of major events that affected the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people.

Although no one outside knew about it, as a member of Cihang Temple, she knew it better than anyone else.

The one who truly led this disaster relief effort and strategized behind the scenes was none other than our own temple master!

And she was also fortunate enough to participate as the supervisor of Cihang Temple.

It’s a pity that the temple master did so much, but the victims knew nothing about it.

The only people they were grateful to were the officials and merchants who participated.

Moreover, the abbot strictly ordered that the name of Cihang Temple should not be spread outside.

Therefore, she had no choice but to wear fine clothes and travel at night, hiding her achievements and fame.

Chen Qingzhu was aware of the regret in his capable subordinate's heart, but he did not explain.

This disaster will definitely attract the attention of the emperor, so Cihang Temple naturally cannot have too much presence in disaster relief.

Otherwise, with her current strength, she couldn't guarantee that she could escape safely after being noticed by the emperor.

Besides, keeping a low profile doesn't mean she has gained nothing.

On the contrary, it can be said that she is the biggest winner of this disaster relief.
