Chapter 336 Chang'an County Lord Can Really Make The Emperor Happy
Huang An ignored those people and found the people from the county chief's mansion. When he saw the bamboo poles they had prepared, he ordered them to hold up the pieces of cloth one by one.
A piece of cloth was fifteen meters long and one and a half meters wide. The area covered by it was a bit small, so Huang An asked someone to buy some needle and thread, and sewed the two pieces together to become fifteen meters long and three meters wide.
A meter-wide curtain was then propped up with six bamboo poles and fixed, and a shelter was set up. And because it was black, it was relatively insulated, forming a shady place on the ground.
Huang An said: "This is a shed built by the county government for everyone. Everyone can rest inside, with priority given to the elderly and children."
The refugees were surprised. They had only seen food and drink provided during disaster relief. This was the first time they saw this kind of thing.
But I have to say that on increasingly hot days, it is much better to have a cool place to rest.
"The weather is so hot now and we have limited manpower. Are you willing to help?" Huang An asked.
Some refugees hesitated for a moment and then came to help. Huang An saw these people in his eyes.
With the help of the refugees, the remaining curtains were put up quickly, one by one, and they looked like a large area from the city gate.
But these are not enough for thousands of people.
According to the requirements of the county government, the order in which people go in to rest is the elderly and children, followed by women, and finally men. Now the place is almost fully occupied by the elderly and children.
Some people who didn't go in were greedy, but the county government said that anyone who caused trouble would be kicked out. They also told the prefect that they would not be allowed to receive relief meals in the future. Everyone could only watch and did not dare to do anything.
"Actually, you can also go outside to find some materials to build a shed. Apart from anything else, it would also be good to block the sun during the day." Huang An said, "You are all men. If you don't have anything else, you still have a little strength.
"
Those people think about it, why haven't they thought about finding things to build a shed before?
Some people have thought about it, but they know that they may be robbed after building a shed, so they don't do it.
Someone raised this point.
Huang An said: "Let's do this. You go find the materials and build them next to each other. If anyone dares to steal it, the county government will come forward to deal with it." Huang An said.
With the guarantee from the county government, those people were no longer afraid, and they all said that they would wait until the weather stopped getting hot at night to see if there were any suitable materials nearby.
At this time, people came out from the city gate again. Cars came out one after another, with barrels tied one after another. The barrels were covered with lids, so no one could see clearly what was inside.
The first carriage arrived at the shed, unloaded several large barrels from it, and then returned.
Seeing these barrels, the refugees were all excited.
They are not familiar with other things, but they are most familiar with this kind of wooden barrel, which is used to hold food!
Huang An said: "This is the mung bean soup prepared by the county government for everyone. It can relieve summer heat, quench thirst, and prevent heatstroke. Everyone has a share, so don't crowd and queue up to get it. The rules are the same as in the morning. If anyone jumps in line, you will not be allowed to do so in the future.
There will be relief porridge."
Everyone is used to queuing up, and as soon as Huang An finished speaking, everyone was already in line.
Huang An did not do anything, and watched the people in the house ladle mung bean soup for everyone. According to He Yunxi's request, each person's bowl of soup must have half a bowl of mung beans. It can not only relieve the heat, but also ward off some hunger.
If you only eat one meal a day, it is still gruel, and that amount is enough to survive. The water is just the amount of water used to make the porridge, and there will be no other water.
There were so many people, and the city couldn't supply them with water. Fortunately, the water in the porridge was enough to keep people alive.
Not dying of hunger or dying of thirst, everyone just hangs and drags them until the drought is over.
In the past, everyone thought that if this is the case, if you survive it, you are alive. If you cannot survive it, you will die.
Now the mayor of Chang'an County is here to help everyone hold a shed, distribute mung beans, and care about whether the elderly and children are exposed to the sun, and whether they will suffer from heat stroke. This is not just to save their lives, she really cares about them!
With one meal a day, no one has the confidence to survive it. If it is two meals a day, almost all of them can survive it!
What she gave them was not just mung bean soup, but hope to live!
Many people had tears in their eyes, especially some old people, who were sitting in the shed, holding cups of mung bean soup, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Hey, why is this soup so cold? Is it still a little sweet?" someone asked.
"The weather is too hot now, so we added ice to the mung bean soup. It's not too much, so it won't hurt everyone's stomach. But it's a little cooler than water, which can better relieve the heat." Huang An said, "In addition,
Today is the first time I made it, and I added a little sugar for everyone. I hope it will bring you some happiness and have a better mentality to face this drought."
After hearing his words, some people were so moved that they knelt down: "Thank you so much, Lord Chang'an. May Lord Chang'an live a thousand years!"
"The Lord of Chang'an County is a thousand years old!"
"The Lord of Chang'an County is a thousand years old!"
"..."
More and more people knelt down, which startled Huang An. He quickly helped the nearest person up and said at the same time: "Fellows, we can't do this. You are not grateful to the county master, but you are doing this."
Harm her!"
The person he helped up was an elderly man. He stood up tremblingly and asked, "How could we harm the county lord?"
"Only the princess can say a thousand years, and the county master cannot say that." Huang An said, "And our county master has said that it is because of the emperor's love that she is able to help everyone today. Without the emperor, there would be no today.
The Lord of Chang'an County. So if you want to thank me, thank the Emperor. The Emperor loves our people very much, and he will start to provide disaster relief when there is a drought. The Emperor's kindness is so great. Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor..."
Those who had not yet risen began to shout long live again.
The prefect Cui Heng came over after hearing the news: "..." The head of Chang'an County is really good at making the emperor happy.
Later, he would write a memorial and talk about the matter to make the emperor happy.
When the emperor is happy, he will feel better.
He straightened his clothes and got off the carriage. Everyone noticed him immediately and saluted immediately: "I have met the prefect."
Cui Heng waved his hand, and then Huang An said that the imperial court would never give up on them, which pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a climax. The support of the imperial court from those present also reached its peak.
In the previous life, the imperial court did not provide disaster relief so early, and many people died. Many people later went on to revolt, and many of them are the people who are now calling for long live.
The same situation, different responses, lead to different results.
After Cui Heng finished speaking, he saw Huang An was about to leave, so he immediately chased after him and asked: "Butler Huang, wait, let's go back together?"
