Chapter 301 301. There is no worst, only worse

Soldiers are human beings too! Moreover, soldiers in this era are not as hard-working, dedicated, disciplined, and responsible as modern soldiers.

Some of them came just to fill their stomachs, some inherited their father's business, and some were serving in the military. There are only more than fifty soldiers in a county. Some are responsible for guarding the city gates, while others are responsible for patrolling. The county government office is also inseparable.

, these soldiers are already enough, and it is really difficult to allocate more people to fight floods and rescue people.

Later, it was Master Li who came up with the idea, "People who participate in fighting floods and rescuing people will be exempted from corvee service this winter." That's why many people signed up to participate.

But even if there are more people participating in the flood fight, there is nothing they can do in the face of natural disasters and floods. They can only hope that the rain will stop and the floods will recede quickly so that they can start rescue operations.

Rescue cannot be done for the time being, but epidemic prevention work can still be done.

Burn Atractylodes for disinfection, and call on the public to clean up and not eat dead animal meat. The drinking water must be water with disinfectant. If anyone is found to be suspected of the disease, they should be isolated immediately, and they should cover their mouth and nose and not touch them directly.

, the clothes of family members affected by the epidemic must be sterilized by steaming and high temperature...

There was no way to explain these epidemic prevention methods to the people who were trapped in the mountains near the village. In the end, our county magistrate, who has superb archery skills, personally took action and went to the places he could go to, across the flood, and wrote down the words on paper.

The anti-epidemic method can be shot to the opposite side with one arrow. As for how much those who receive the letter can do and whether they can read or not, it is not within his control. Don't they say that the county magistrate is not as good as taking charge now?

At any rate, he had done some practical things for the people, and he felt a little comforted.

When the rain stopped, Magistrate Tang once again submitted a letter about the current situation in Caolu County. In fact, he had written several times during the drought, but it was only September for success and September for failure. It was because he was so excited at the time for the sake of performance.

He reported the discovery of sweet potatoes in Yue Jiue to the emperor. Now that there was a drought, many ministers in the government used this as an excuse to refuse to distribute relief grains to Caolu County and even Chaoyang County. He was helpless.

Later, a locust plague occurred, and County Magistrate Tang also submitted a letter. The news of the earthquake had just reached the county government. Not far after he left the county seat, his carriage got stuck in a mud pit and could not get out. He had no choice but to go back to the county seat and send troops while he was there.

People went to check on the earthquake situation, and at the same time wrote a letter about the good news that there was rain after a long drought.

Fortunately, the earthquake mainly occurred in the neighboring county. Caolu County only affected a small village on the edge. Half of the houses collapsed. Some people were injured, but no one died.

Before he could rejoice, what everyone thought was good news turned out to be bad news.

The heavy rain continues, floods form, and floods are about to break out!

This is simply a thunderbolt from the sky! One soul of Tang County Magistrate was sent to the thunderbolt, and two Buddhas ascended to heaven!

Therefore, his position as county magistrate is not the worst, only worse!

"Sir, take the medicine!"

A young boy took the Laojun Shenming Powder cooked by the cook, gently placed it on the desk in front of Magistrate Tang, and reminded him in a low voice.

"Well, let everyone in the house drink a bowl, so you can go down and drink too!"

Magistrate Tang came to his senses, waved his hand feebly, and let the boy go down.

He picked up the bowl, gave a silent bitter smile, then raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

Alas! It’s so difficult to be a county magistrate! I can’t imagine how difficult it must be for his father!
