Dressed as a top-notch girl, leading the whole village to become rich

I don’t know what my father and the head of the village were thinking, but I have to say that even Ye Guo, who doesn’t like eating meat, feels comfortable with this approach.

If it hadn't been raining, Ye Guo would have wanted to make a pork hotpot for everyone.

However, current conditions are limited. Even to cook pork, there are not enough iron pots, so everyone has to queue up and take turns to cook it.

When the old people in the village drink a bowl of boiling hot bone soup, half of what they drink is soup and half is tears.

Children have short memories and are not sensitive enough to danger. Many of them even said that it would be great if they could live in the mountains forever.

This is just like modern city kids going out camping and barbecue, feeling it is novel and fun, and thus forgetting the hardships of life.

The smiles on the faces of the adults who were questioned froze.

They came to avoid disaster. The rain kept falling. Some villagers who went back to get their belongings said that the riverbed in the village had begun to rise, and the fields near the river were all submerged...

Home, they have no home now. When they thought of this, they couldn't help but hug the children tightly in their arms.

Ye Laoer was still on his way. Even though he had padded the saddle with three or four thick layers of cotton cloth, after a few days he felt like his butt was not his own.

The postures of getting on and off the horse are all weird.

Ye Zifeng was young, so although his condition wasn't as serious as his, when he arrived at the post station, he basically fell asleep on the bed without even a dream.

Having a high official rank also has its advantages. With Ye Laoer's rank of seventh grade, he is ranked among the top in the entire Yongzhou Prefecture.

Every time we arrived at an inn, there was hot water, good food, good horses, and superior rooms... the cheapest price and the best treatment.

But the rain had been falling for four or five days and had not stopped. Deep puddles could be seen everywhere, and there were also many convoys of people, with their families, heading towards Yongzhou Prefecture.

Most of them have some family background and want to go to a bigger place to avoid disaster.

The two people who were in a hurry on their way were originally talking to each other, but now they have been busy all day and are in no mood to speak.

Ye Zifeng now knows about the flood. Her mother and sister are still in Yejia Village. It is no exaggeration to say that she is extremely worried.

If Ye Lao Er had not sat down and explained to him in detail the various dangers of traveling at night, he would have been unable to resist and walked away alone.

We will arrive in Changhua County tomorrow. Ye Zifeng lay in bed for a long time but couldn't fall asleep.

Finally, I decided to go to the stable to see the horses I would be using tomorrow.

Because they were in a hurry, their horses were checked at each station, but there were good and bad horses at each station.

Since I can't sleep anyway, I might as well go and book the horse first to avoid delaying my departure tomorrow morning.

Then he met Ye Laoer, who had the same idea as him.

"Can't sleep?" Ye Lao Er continued to walk towards the backyard with obvious intention, "What are your plans after returning to take office?"

Ye Zifeng thought for a moment and whispered, "Listen to Magistrate Lu."

Ye Lao Er nodded, "If Magistrate Lu doesn't allow refugees to enter the city, what will you do?"

Ye Zifeng was confused. Why would his uncle ask such a serious question? How should he answer?

There are both good and bad things about refugees entering the city. But even if he knows everything, he knows that Changhua City is not big and it certainly cannot accommodate all the victims.

"Please give me some advice, uncle." After being silent for a long time, Ye Zifeng decided not to make things difficult for himself.

Ye Lao Er felt that Ye Zifeng's success in getting into high school was closely related to his flexible personality, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "You are a smart guy, aren't you afraid that I won't tell you?"

"When Second Uncle raised the question, he must have already made up his mind. Changhua belongs to Yongzhou Prefecture, which is also under your jurisdiction."

"County Magistrate Lu doesn't understand the situation in the county as well as my uncle does. I'm sure you have considered it more comprehensively."

No one doesn't like to hear compliments, including Ye Laoer.

Originally, I just planned to give him a few simple pointers to avoid a conflict with his superior as soon as he took office.

After hearing what he said, Ye Lao Er wanted to say a few more words.

This story begins with the flood in Changhua fifteen years ago.

"So, what Second Uncle wants to say is that the county magistrate back then seemed cruel, but he actually saved everyone's lives?" Ye Zifeng asked with a frown.

Ye Lao Er neither nodded nor shook his head, "Not entirely. But if so many disaster victims were allowed into the city, it would not only easily cause unrest, but also easily spread the epidemic."

"After a flood, there will be an epidemic." Ye Laoer said word by word.

Ye Zifeng's little face was almost overwhelmed by all this information.

"These two horses are good. We'll take them tomorrow." Ye Lao Er checked them carefully from head to toe and told the postmaster beside him.

Ye Zifeng didn't even look up. "But Uncle, it's raining so hard. Even if the victims have a place to stay, they still need to eat. Some people are sick... What should we do about these?"

"So it's your ability to collect food and herbs from the city to rescue the victims outside the city." Ye Lao Er raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that he was thinking so far ahead.

"Now I am worried not only about the people in Changhua, but also about the people in other counties."

"Once the news spreads that Changhua is treating disaster victims well, all the disaster victims from the surrounding areas will flock here."

Ye Zifeng was almost dizzy. "Then what should we do? Should we save these disaster victims or not?"

Young people are full of energy, so we can’t push them too hard. Ye Lao Er pulled the man to sit in front of him, poured him a cup of hot tea, and then spoke.

"We still need to save them, but we can't act rashly. We must make plans and think twice before acting."

Ye Zifeng's enthusiasm was completely dampened. But this also made him become extra cautious and steady in the future.

Then he saved one person after another.

The next day, at daybreak, the two men continued on their journey. The closer they got to the county town, the more disaster victims they saw.

Five or six miles away, the two men pulled the reins at the same time.

At the Taoist temple halfway up the mountain, a large number of disaster victims were queuing in the rain. The people registering at the door were none other than the county yamen runners. Apparently, this place had become an official resettlement site for disaster victims.

"Let's go." Ye Laoer didn't stay for too long and urged to set off.

Then, they discovered that all the Taoist temples and Buddhist temples on high ground around the county town had become resettlement sites for disaster victims.

On the contrary, at the city gate tower, there were very few people queuing up to enter the city.

However, a temporary passage was opened in the city gate tower, which only allowed horse-drawn carriages or ox-drawn carts to pass through.

The things loaded on the truck were all covered with thick rainproof tarpaulin. The two didn't even have to guess, they knew that these were supplies to be delivered to the victims.

"It seems that County Magistrate Lu already had a solution." Ye Zifeng's eyes sparkled.

Ye Lao Er smiled with relief and said, "It seems that Xiaoguo is back."
