The snow is deep and the road is difficult to walk, and every step is quite difficult.

Fortunately, Xujiazhuang is not far from the county town, only about ten miles away. No matter how slow the speed is, it will be two hours.

"Master Xu, please save the victims!"

Inside Xujiazhuang.

When they saw Xu Yuan, Qian Chengzhi and Sun Lin bowed deeply and asked for a plea.

Listen to them telling the situation in the county town.

Xu Yuan was quite surprised because the people living in the city were generally families with relatively good economic conditions, and the quality of the houses would be much better, and the disaster would not be particularly serious. As a result, hundreds of rooms collapsed and thousands of people were affected.

There are hundreds of villages and towns around the 11 collective manors in Xujiazhuang. The collapsed houses are almost the same as the affected population. However, as long as you stay in the refugee shelter station in Xujiazhuang, the victims will be resettled. Most of the emotions are stable at present, and the injured have also been treated by medical personnel.

It can only be said that the officials and gentry in the county have never had the awareness of disaster prevention and relief. They only recite poems every day, and they are at most worried about the country and the people in their poems and essays, which reflects their conscience, and have almost no actual actions.

It can be called poetry and disaster relief, which is similar to some charity evenings in modern society.

Even the first family in Xinghua like the Li family is not capable of relieving disasters, not that they do not want to save disaster victims, but that they do not dare to be the first to be the best, and they dare not be the very few good people. They cannot bear the price of being a good person. They must bring big residents in the city to donate money together.

"Minzhi, you can transfer all the fifteen sled tractors in the village. Take a batch of food, canned food, fuel and clothing. Go to the county town to rescue disasters. No matter how many victims are, you must save them with all your strength and temporarily place them in the shelter."

Xu Yuan asked someone to call Fang Yizhi over and handed him over the disaster relief task.

"Yes, I'll go right away!" Fang Yizhi nodded and immediately started to act.

"I'll go with Brother Mizhi." Qian Chengzhi followed.

Naturally, Sun Lin would not leave, and he had to work with him.

...

The disaster relief team sent by Xujiazhuang quickly arrived at the county town, but was blocked by the city gate guards at the city gate, but they were not allowed to enter the city. If the tractor had not advanced buzzingly and had the attitude of breaking open the city gate, they would have been afraid that they would not have entered the city for a moment.

Then I cleared out a venue first and spent money to recruit some people.

Several large iron pots were set up, and wood was burned underneath. Some were making ginger soup, some were cooking porridge, and some were really hungry and couldn't stand the disaster victims, distributed biscuits and cans, and immediately filled their stomachs.

The most important thing is to prevent the cold and keep warm, so thick cotton jackets were distributed one by one, and children and the elderly were given priority to bring them to the fire for heating. The injured were also quickly treated and treated.

After the preliminary assistance, the victims without shelter were transported to the refugee shelter station in batches through sled tractors and officially settled down.

I was busy until the third update in the middle of the night.

Nearly a thousand victims died of death from frost and starvation, 818 were properly resettled, which was considered to have survived.

During this entire disaster relief process.

Not only other disaster relief team members, but also Fang Yizhi, Qian Chengzhi and Sun Lin, who were mainly responsible for command and dispatch, were almost exhausted, their voices were hoarse, and they were all exhausted.

But the one who touched the most was Qian Chengzhi. He saw the gap between reality and ideal for the first time, and began to reflect on the first time: Can articles on morality really work for such a cruel world, sage principles, and morality?

If these work, why did the Xujiazhuang disaster relief team still take no action after entering the city to rescue disasters, and even the big households in the city were unwilling to lend some manpower and borrow some tools and supplies, and they paid for the purchase and raised the price significantly. Where did their conscience go?

Of course, the famous scholar Li Qing still had the desire to save the disaster and personally participated in the disaster relief operation. However, after a while, his uncle Li Changfu came over and pulled Li Qing away directly, telling him not to get involved.

"Why can't the victims help them in trouble?" Li Qing felt it was difficult for him to understand.

"Xujiazhuang has ulterior motives. If you invite people to buy people's hearts, it will cause great trouble in the future! If you have any involvement with Xujiazhuang, it will bring disaster to the Li family in the future!"

"this……"

Li Qing still felt uncomprehensible, but was forced to take away by his uncle.

Qian Chengzhi, who was standing next to him, felt a chill, and some traditional concepts in his mind were seriously shaken.

That's right, Xujiazhuang's many practices are suspected of buying people's hearts, and they may have unpredictable intentions. However, for these nearly a thousand victims, Xujiazhuang has paid for money and supplies in real life, and has saved them with all their might. It is indeed practicing the concept of "people-oriented treasure". As long as people can be saved, they will not care about how much they cost.

But for an elder like Li Changfu who is well-read the books of sages, what is the ordinary people in his eyes? Is it an unbearable burden? Or is it a water that serves as a boat? Or is it rising to the height of Xujiazhuang as a treasure?

Obviously, in his eyes, the victims were just burdens that could not bear. They either let those who were capable save them together, or they would not save any of them, and there was no other option.

Now that Xujiazhuang has helped, these victims have become unlucky immediately. Not to mention saving them, too much involvement with them cannot happen, as if they are potential rioters and mobs. Once Xujiazhuang leads them to rebellion, it will definitely affect the interests of the Li family.

At this moment, the interests of the family in the country and the world seem extremely important. They not only attach great importance to it, but even begin to be hostile to these victims.

You should know that the saints also say that no matter how lies in the mind, no one can be perfect. Now Xujiazhuang has not done anything traitorous, so he has become the enemy in the eyes of these gentry. No matter what good things Xujiazhuang does, he resists negative attitude, rather than blushing or shame. Is this really appropriate?

He may think that this approach is very appropriate for gentry like Li Changfu, but Qian Chengzhi is still very young and ordinary people still belong to the category of "civilians" in his eyes, so he feels very awkward and can't accept it.

After saving the victims, seeing them kneeling on the ground, kowtow repeatedly, thanking him repeatedly, or expressing their repayment as slaves and maids, these vivid and grateful faces gave Qian Cheng a force, strengthening his inner belief: it is right to save these people, and it is 100% correct.

As for Xujiazhuang's concept of "focusing on the crowd and taking people as treasure", although he did not fully recognize it, he at least recognized 70% of it because Xujiazhuang is really willing to take action to implement this concept.

And the "Rule of Sages and Moral Articles" sounds very ideal and engraved in people's hearts, but how many gentlemen are practicing it in reality? What's the use of what's good about it?

Shaken.

Qian Chengzhi began to shake.

On the way back to Xujiazhuang, he couldn't help but say to him: "Brother Mi, I understand your approach and know why you joined Xujiazhuang."

"Oh, you figured it out too?" Fang Yizhi looked at him and smiled.

"Yes, moral articles may not change this world, and Xujiazhuang may do this." Qian Cheng's way.

"Since that's the case, Brother Huanguang, why not be like me, shaved his hair and changed his clothes and joined Xujiazhuang. Let's work together to change the world." Fang Yizhi sent an invitation.

"This... let me think about it for another two days."

Although it was a serious wavering, it was not enough to make Qian Cheng make up his mind because it was still a little short of time and opportunity.
