Chapter 217

Early the next morning, the county government posted a notice.

There are gates on all sides and cross streets.

Fifty workers were recruited and paid twenty copper coins per day.

The salary was definitely quite high. So many people quickly flocked over. Some of them were doing temporary work, some were farming, and some were doing small business. Anyway, most ordinary people would not miss it.

Such an opportunity to make money. The grown-up men in Ningyuan basically build bricks and tiles, farm and till the land. I don’t say they are proficient in all the lowest-level survival skills, but they definitely know it.

"The county magistrate said that workers will be called in to clean up the collapsed rocks and soil on the official road outside the city. The construction period will be one to two days, and the price will be twenty coppers per day!"

The literate people held their heads high and spoke loudly to the people around them about the contents of the notice.

"hiss!"

"hiss!"

Suddenly there were gasps and exclamations from all around.

"Everyone, listen up!"

At this time, the government official who posted the notice also shouted, "The county government is recruiting workers, and the wages are twenty wages a day. If you want to sign up, please register with me now!"

"I!"

"Me me me!"

The crowd suddenly surged.

The darkness squeezed forward, pushing the two government officials back even further.

"Slower, slower!"

"Stand still for me! Come one by one!"

"..."

Lu Fang certainly didn't come to interfere.

Everything that needs to be explained has been handed over to Lu Liang, and he still has his own matters to deal with.

After all, he is not the county magistrate.

Seeing that the sky finally cleared up, he rearranged the goods with Chen Youxi, Zhuer, and Fuer early in the morning. Then he went to Yu Yuanwei's home to study.

Time passes gradually.

Under the supervision of the county government officials, the work of clearing the roads went smoothly. More and more towns and villages began to restore smooth traffic.

The situation of flooding in some towns and villages is really shocking. In some places, the water depth has even spread to more than one meter deep. Small parts of houses are submerged in the water.

It was difficult for the people inside to get out, and they could only wait for help from others.

When the county government officials appeared in a small boat, tears filled their eyes unconsciously. They felt like they had survived a desperate situation.

One after another, these people who were affected by the disaster and flooded were gathered into temporary shelters outside the south of the city.

Those towns and villages where the flooding situation is not serious are temporarily self-sufficient. The county government only asks them to report the disaster situation.

By evening, the temporary shelter outside the south of the city was already quite busy.

There were more than 300 victims gathered.

When I came here, I was worried. After all, the government had never been so considerate before. In a disaster year, it is good to be able to distribute a few mouthfuls of food.

They arranged for food and accommodation, and also said that they would provide money to help rebuild the house. This is really unheard of and unprecedented.

But when they arrived at the temporary shelter, these victims knew that what the county government officials said was true.

Those officials didn't lie to them.

There are no beds in the temporary shelter, but there are straw mats and even quilts.

When the meal was about to begin, the aroma of rice wafted over from the large pot stove. The rations for hundreds of people would not be a small amount, but those who were close discovered that the rice steamed in the pot was white rice, not mixed with rice bran.

That kind of thing. It also has meat, vegetables, and big bone soup, which is much better than what they eat at home.

Normally, they would only be willing to eat like this during holidays.

Not easy!

Lord Qingtian!

When people are in trouble, they can most feel the preciousness of others' kindness.

Immediately, someone knelt down.

"Thank you, Mr. Qingtian! Thank you, Mr. Qingtian!"

"The county magistrate will live a long life!"

Outside each tent, more and more people were kneeling down.

Some people wiped away tears, while others burst into tears.

When the sudden flood spread into the house, they looked at the little rice left in the rice vat at home. At that moment, their hearts were really desperate.

Now, various rescue measures taken by the county government have saved them from desperate situation.

Each of the government officials and laborers hired by the county government looked at these victims with complicated eyes.

Even the chef who was cooking was so lost in thought that he forgot to turn the spoon in his hand.

Then someone said: "You should be more grateful to Mr. Lu Fanglu, the younger brother of the county magistrate. He has raised donations for charity long ago. Otherwise, it would be difficult for you to live in the tents you have now and have white rice and meat for you to eat."

The person who spoke was a servant of the county government.

"Yes, Master Lu has been worried about flooding for a long time."

Some workers from the county agreed.

More and more people spoke, and Lu Fang's name was mentioned repeatedly.

Although Lu Fang has not been to the temporary shelter in the past two days, everyone knows about his fundraising at the county government.

And things did not go beyond Liu Huafeng's expectations. These people only remembered Lu Fang's name, but did not mention Liu Huafeng at all.

"But that Mr. Lu who was giving alms in the city before?"

someone asked.

"Exactly."

"Except Mr. Lu, how many such good people can we have in Ningyuan County?"

The officer's face lit up and he said.

From the looks of it, it seemed like he was the one who did these things.

I don't know what Lu Fang would think if he saw this scene.

When he just traveled through time more than two months ago, no one would say such good things about him.

Is Mr. Lu a good man?

I'm afraid I'm a fool to say something like this.



"Um?"

In Ningyuan County, Lu Fang, who had just left Yu Yuanwei's home, was suddenly stunned.

Because suddenly a surge of admiration flooded my mind.

Although the adoration points have hit the screen from time to time recently due to Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, it has never been so intensive.

He could barely make out the names that flashed by in a hurry.

The admiration value suddenly increased. In just a few moments, it actually increased by hundreds of thousands of points.

And the situation seems to be getting more and more turbulent.

What's happening?

Lu Fang was a little stunned.

After coming back to his senses, he continued walking to the BESTORE.

It wasn't until he reached the Bestore that this surge of admiration gradually subsided.

Look at the adoration value. In this short period of time, it has increased by nearly one million.

"Xiao Fang! Xiao Fang!"

Before I could even enter, I heard shouting from across the street.

Lu Liang hurried over with Lao Xiao.

His face looked a little tired, but there was unconcealable excitement in his eyes.

Lu Fang waited for him to run up to him and asked, "What's going on in such a hurry?"

Lu Liang said: "Go in and talk! Go in and talk!"

Then he dragged Lu Fang into the Bestore.

"master."

"Grandpa Xiao."

"Your Majesty the County Magistrate."

In the shop, Zhu'er, Fu'er and Chen Youxi were busy greeting Lu Liang and Lao Xiao.

Lu Liang nodded to them, but directly dragged Lu Fang to the backyard and said, "You really helped me a lot this time."

Lu Fang was stunned and said: "What's wrong?"

Lu Liang said: "Thank you for letting me arrange for people to clear the roads! Some towns and villages were flooded with water, and they were almost flooded. If our people hadn't cleared the roads in time and ran over, they would probably have to wait for death at home.

When the time comes, I, as the county magistrate, will have to bear the blame."

Flood pouring in?

Lu Fang was stunned for a moment, then said: "Is everything okay now?"

Lu Liang grinned and said: "It's okay. Those people whose houses were flooded have been taken to temporary shelters and settled in them. Haha, they are all very grateful to you now! I heard from the government officials who just came back that they are all

Kneel down there and say that you are the great virtuous man of Ningyuan, and I am the great master of Qingtian in Ningyuan."

Probably he had never been so supported by the people. The more he talked, the more excited he looked on his face.

Lu Fang finally understood what was going on with the surge of admiration just now.

The eyes of the masses are indeed sharp.
