Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 120
Chapter 119: Flood Relief
Nanjun, Yidao County, a small county on the verge of the Yangtze River, Bao Zheng, the prefect of Nanjun, stood on the top of the city in the heavy rain, followed by Gu Lun, the magistrate of Yidao County.

Looking at the turbulent Yangtze River outside the city, Bao Zheng's heart was very heavy. This was the biggest challenge he had encountered since he became the prefect of Nanjun. Just yesterday, the Wancheng side came with an order to ensure the safety of the people's property and lives. Fortunately, the people around Yidao County have all moved into the city, and most of the people in the distance have also migrated to the highlands.

"Magistrate Gu, have the people settled down?" Bao Zheng asked Gu Lun.

Gu Lun nodded and said: "My lord, the people in the city have settled down, and the people in the highlands outside the city are protected by soldiers and horses sent by General Chang Yuchun, so it's not a big problem, but the most important thing now What's more, there is not much food in the city, and if there is no support, I'm afraid it won't last long."

After discovering the possibility of a major flood, Bao Zheng wrote to Shangshu Province, hoping to get the support of the military. After careful consideration and Deng Sheng's permission, Shang Shusheng ordered troops to be stationed in various places to fully cooperate with the disaster relief.

As soon as the order came, Chang Yuchun's Nanjun garrison rushed out to all parts of Nanjun. Similarly, Jiangxia's Yang Yanzhao's troops did the same.

However, food is a big problem. In order to stockpile food to deal with wars that may occur at any time, Deng Sheng ordered that all the food stored in the counties be concentrated in the government office, and the counties only need to keep the food they need daily. Leading to serious food shortages everywhere.

But now that it is raining heavily outside, the food in Jiangling cannot be safely and quickly transported to the counties.

Bao Zheng nodded and said: "Don't worry about food, Jiangling still has a lot of food in stock, and it will be shipped as soon as possible, and the king has ordered to urgently mobilize food from all over the place to support us with all our strength. Now all we have to do is to do our best to ensure the safety of the people."

"Your officer understands!" Gu Lun replied, Bao Zheng didn't need to remind Gu Lun to pay attention to this. Wancheng has already issued a death order. After the flood, some normal casualties are unavoidable. As for the casualties of the common people, it was the direct death of the people.

Three days later, the Yangtze River, which had been brewing for a long time, finally couldn't hold back anymore. It broke through the embankment and rushed to the land, flooding a large area of ​​fertile land in an instant. The poor people in Nanjun, the results of half a year's hard work were instantly wiped out.

The flood raged for several days, and as the torrential rain stopped, it finally receded, but it left a mess.

After the flood receded, the aftermath was being carried out everywhere.

Wancheng, Qianyang Palace, and Deng Sheng haven't slept well these days, and have been paying attention to the situation of Nanjun and Jiangxia.

"How is the situation in the two counties?" Deng Sheng asked the ministers.

Shangshu Sheng Jiang Wan came out and said: "Back to your Majesty, the floods in the two counties have now receded. People from all over the country have begun to return to their homes to clean up the mess, and Nanjun Chang Yuchun's Department and Jiangxia Yang Yanzhao's Department have sent troops to assist the local people. , everything is going in a good direction at present, and I hope Your Majesty will be at ease!"

After hearing Jiang Wan's words, Deng Sheng's frown was finally relaxed.The flood receded, as long as there was no plague outbreak, everything would be fine.

Deng Sheng said to Jiang Wan: "Jiang Qing, send an order to mobilize food, medicine and doctors to the two counties. We must prevent the outbreak of the plague. If there are not enough doctors, I will send a group from the imperial hospital. In short, we must not take it lightly."

"Here!" Jiang Wan also knew that after the flood, the most terrifying thing was the plague, and this was the biggest test. Even if Deng Sheng didn't say anything, he would not take it lightly.

After instructing Jiang Wan, Deng Sheng looked at Yue Fei again and said, "Yue Qing, the two counties are devastated now, and I fear that the garrisons in the two counties will not be enough to clean up the mess. You send the garrison from Wancheng to the two counties to assist the two counties in disaster relief. At the same time, we must prevent people from taking the opportunity to disturb the place. If someone dares to come out to make trouble at this time, no matter who it is, they will be arrested directly, and they will be dealt with after the disaster relief work is over!"

"Here!" Yue Fei responded.

Although Nanjun and Jiangxia have been in the Deng Kingdom for more than ten years, some remnants of forces still exist. Therefore, Deng Sheng has been guarding heavily, in addition to guarding against Wu and Xiang, it is to guard against these forces.

Now that the garrisons of the two counties have gone to various places to assist in disaster relief, these people may not be able to bear the loneliness.

In addition, Deng Sheng thought of another problem, that is, after the flood, many people's food was destroyed, and they basically relied on the local government for relief, and these people, especially the strong and strong, have nothing to do all day, and accidents are easy to happen. Gotta find something for them to do.

Deng Sheng said: "After the flood, the number of people gathered in various places suddenly increased a lot, which is prone to problems. Let the officials from all over the place gather the young and strong to repair the dams everywhere. This can solve the hidden dangers caused by the gathering of the people. , and can repair the collapsed dam, killing two birds with one stone!"

After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all called it a great good. As we all know, after every catastrophe, the people from all over the place gather together. These young and old people who have nothing to do all day long are prone to friction, and a little carelessness will lead to catastrophe. Now Deng Sheng asked young and strong to repair the embankment, which not only solved the problem of young and strong, but also did not need to use corvees to repair the embankment, which was a good thing in seconds.

Seeing that all the ministers agreed, Deng Sheng ordered: "This matter is led by the Ministry of Industry, with the full cooperation of the three provinces and the five ministries. We must put these young men to practical use."

"Here!" Minister of the Ministry of Industry Liu Cheng came out and said.

After arranging everything, Deng Sheng asked the ministers to leave, and he planned to take a rest. After all, even Iron Man couldn't hold on to the high-intensity work for so many consecutive days.

After everyone left, Deng Sheng got up, but as soon as he stood up, Deng Sheng felt dizzy and dizzy, and suddenly his eyes went dark, and he fell unconscious.

Seeing this, the servant hurriedly called someone to send Deng Sheng to bed, and at the same time sent someone to invite the imperial physician and inform the queen Cai Yan to go.

In Qianyang Palace, Empress Dowager Cui, Cai Yan, Deng Sheng's three sons, and officials from the three provinces and six ministries were all present in front of the bed, looking nervously at the imperial physician who was treating Deng Sheng.

The imperial doctor checked the pulse for a long time, and finally let go of his hand. After seeing the imperial doctor's pulse diagnosis, everyone asked in a hurry, which frightened the imperial doctor.

In the end, it was Empress Dowager Cui who said: "You all shut up and listen to the doctor."

Don't look at Empress Dowager Cui who doesn't care about things on weekdays, but after Deng Sheng was assassinated, she also served as a supervisor of the country for a few days, and in addition to being the empress dowager these years, she still developed some skills, and at this time Deng Sheng was unconscious. The entire country of Deng can be said to be the largest of Queen Mother Cui.

After seeing everyone restrained, Empress Dowager Cui suppressed her anxiety and asked the imperial physician, "Emperor physician, what happened to the king?"

The imperial doctor said: "Go back to the queen mother, the king is fine, but he has not had a good rest for many days, and he was infected with the wind and cold, which led to the sudden fainting, as long as he sleeps for a while, and then takes some decoction, he can recover, but he still needs to take a good rest. It’s better to rest for a while.”

After hearing the imperial physician's words, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. The Empress Dowager Cui said to the ministers: "You have also heard what the imperial physician said. Ai's family doesn't understand government affairs, and Deng Deng is in troubled times. I have already explained something to you, you just do what the king said, and now the king needs to recuperate, so if you have nothing to do, don't bother the king."

"I would like to obey the Queen Mother's order!" The ministers responded, since the imperial physician has said that Deng Sheng needs to take a good rest, then try not to disturb Deng Sheng as much as possible. Besides, Deng Sheng basically put everything away before he fainted Once the arrangements are made, they just need to do it step by step, and it's not a big problem.
