Chapter 493
Beichi County is lucky. Although the county magistrate has not had time to count the total population of Beichi County, he also knows that Beichi County has escaped the disaster.

There are lucky ones, and naturally there are unlucky ones.

Except for the two counties that were almost razed to the ground during the earthquake, all other prefectures and counties suffered huge losses in this flood.

In many places, the water has covered the roofs in the later stage, and most houses collapsed because of the large area soaked in water and the soaking time for too long.

When the people returned to their homes, except for a few who breathed a sigh of relief, most people's houses were already uninhabitable, either half collapsed or completely collapsed, and the losses were heavy.

The only consolation is that as long as they are transferred out in advance, at least their food, property and daily necessities are finally preserved.

It's just that after the flood, many years of savings of many ordinary people may have to go to waste. Even the worst adobe houses cost a few taels of silver for a house.

Not to mention adobe-brick mixed or pure brick-and-tile houses, no one with more than ten or twenty taels can't be built at all.

This result made many ordinary people feel sad.

Not only these, even the number of casualties in these prefectures and counties is far more than that of Beichi County.

What's more, many prefectures and counties didn't bury these rotted and maggoted corpses that were exposed in the first place, leaving them to die in the wilderness.

Especially the people in Fucheng County are used to sweeping the snow in front of their doors. Many people simply turn a blind eye to the corpses. In their minds, they are already miserable, so they don't have any other energy to take care of other people's affairs.

Anyway, the people in the official uniform had to ask, and besides, it was their duty to restrain the corpses.In this way, when the people in the government took their positions and resumed normal operations, the corpses had been exposed for a few more days, which also laid the groundwork for what happened later.

……

Qingyun Village.

After the road was opened, Qingyun Village became completely busy.

Almost every household in Qingyun Village followed their relatives back to their village to help them clean up the mess.

Except for a kang in the room, all the others that could be lifted out were carried out and exposed to the hot sun for a few days, and the houses that needed to be renovated were repaired together.

They are all men who are used to work. As long as it is not damaged on a large scale, simple house renovations can generally be done by themselves.

As for the few collapsed houses, there is no way to do it. We can only ask special masters to rebuild them.

Therefore, not long after, a group of people headed by Carpenter Du and other craftsmen and masters instantly became sought-after fragrant buns. After they repaired their own homes and started work in the kiln factory, they began to get busy non-stop .

It is worth mentioning that, like other craftsmen and craftsmen, they did not raise the price because of the high demand. Instead, they lowered the price by one level than usual, which also made many people who collapsed the house very grateful.

At this time, Xiaoqi also returned to Hedi Village with his father, uncles, Qiujing, and the descendants of the Wei family. As for his elder brother and nephew, they all returned to their respective in-laws to help.

Qiu Jing followed him brazenly. In fact, Xiao Qi said, this person just doesn't know how to enjoy life, how comfortable it is to stay at home.

Qiu Jing: ... What should he do when he meets such a dull girl?
After coming to Hedi Village, to be honest, Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief.

The situation wasn't too bad, and maybe it was the reason why they came back a day late. In general, almost everything on the road had been cleaned.

There was almost the sound of packing up from every household, and several collapsed houses were seen while the carriage was moving around, and someone was cleaning up every collapsed house.

Anyway, as long as people are safe.

Xiaoqi, father and Qiu Jing went first to uncle's house.

The moment the door was opened, fortunately, there was no scene that made them too sad.

According to the visual inspection, everything in the house seems to be in good condition. Even the fruit trees in the yard look good. They are not listless, and the fruit on the trees is at least hanging.

Xiao Qi took a look at these fruit trees, and guessed that it might have something to do with the occasional drop of space water that she dropped into each fruit tree with kindness.

After all, along the way, she saw a lot of listless trees, and these fruit trees have performed relatively well.

Of course, the yard is also unavoidably messy.

There are wood and wood everywhere, so that the first thing everyone enters the door is to start.Clean up all kinds of wood and wood in the yard.

Fortunately, after so many days of exposure to the sun, these materials have already dried out, and they just need to be packed away.

After everyone's hard work, within half an hour, the courtyard was cleaned up.

Next, the uncle, cousin and nephew couldn't wait to open their own doors.

Taking the key to the door of grandparents' room from uncle, Xiaoqi opened the door.

The moment I opened the door, my heart was completely relieved. Except for some dirt, everything else didn't look too bad.

As long as the room is thoroughly cleaned and tidied, and aired and dried for a few days, you can live in it.

Fortunately, because of the preparation in advance, not all the furniture is very humid.

Next, Xiao Qi and Brother Qiu began to move out all the furniture in the room of the grandparents. For a while, the front and back yards of the uncle's house were full of furniture.

In the empty room, there is only one brick kang left now. Fortunately, it is all made of bricks and stones, and there is no damage. It only needs a few fires to fill it in, and it is almost enough to dry the inside of the kang.

The next job is to clean up. All the silt in the room must be cleaned out, and the layer of lime on the bottom wall soaked in water has all bubbled, and some of them have peeled off automatically. The lime on the wall needs to be cleaned up. All changed.

The walls of all the rooms needed to be replaced, and the sons of several uncles lived separately a few years ago, so the amount of work involved was not small.

Fortunately, my uncle's family has a large population, so it's not too difficult to make.

As for the materials, they were naturally sourced from the Lu family. Outside, even if you have money, you can't buy materials.

After such a large-scale flood, whether it is a business or a variety of workshops, it is impossible to return to normal within half a month.

As for the support from other provinces, it can reach various prefectures and counties, and the days are not much worse.

Of course, it is also possible to tidy up while living. Although it is not done once and for all, it is much better than living in a shack outside and setting up a tent.

The grandma's family and even the in-laws of the Lu family naturally don't have to worry, the Lu family has all these materials.

Because of the earthquake, their family prepared a lot of materials needed to build a house in advance, and a lot of lime was stored in advance.

Of course, after discussing with my grandfather and uncle, I finally decided to provide these materials at half price to the more than ten households in the village who have no houses to live in.

Why half price?You must know that Sheng Mien and Dou Michou, according to grandpa, cannot let the villagers have the mentality of getting something for nothing.

You must know that to build a masonry house, you need at least 30 taels, which is really not much at half the price.

And the most important thing is that other people in the half-price village can still understand. After all, this is a catastrophe. If it is free, there is no guarantee that the villagers will have other ideas.

Of course, all the silver received will still be handed over to the little uncle, the village chief.

 Ask for a monthly pass, a monthly pass, a monthly pass. (*︶*).. .:*
