Farming Space: The Lucky and Lovely Lady Come to Farm - Chapter 914
Chapter 914 Find out
Gu Fei looked at the fish, vegetables, and egg soup on the table, silently picked up the chopsticks, and took a few bites, “Lian’er, I rewarded Guanshi Liu for two taels of silver and said today’s food is very good.”
Qin’er opened the box and took the silver, while Lian’er took the silver and left.
After dinner, Gu Fei wrote a note to Qin’er, “Send it to Xue Chen.”
She had to ask Xue Chen to check whether the flood was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster.
Qin’er took the note and went to the backyard to let the doves go.
A few days later, Xue Chen came to the palace in person to see Gu Fei.
Gu Fei met him in the front hall.
Xue Chen is now much calmer and more mature than before, and he no longer makes jokes. He bowed and said: “After getting the news about the Crown Princess, I sent people to investigate. The breach of the embankment was indeed man-made!”
“That night, I saw several people going to the embankment with hoes and shovels.”
Gu Fei narrowed his eyes, “Is it the Crown Prince of Chu? Or Prince An?”
Xue Chen lowered his head and said: “It’s the Crown Prince of Chu. Because the King of Chu was killed by the Crown Prince in Tanzhou, the Crown Prince of Chu held a grudge and ordered the lurkers in Huainan County and Donghai County to dig out the dam at night.”
“The water this year has been heavier than in previous years, and the **** has become soft. If you dig a small hole, the water will slowly wash away the dike.”
“I have arrested several people, and they all confessed.”
Gu Fei’s eyes widened, “Huainan County was also affected?”
She couldn’t help but cursed, “Damn it!”
This excavation resulted in the death of many innocent people and their displacement.
“Has this news been conveyed to the Crown Prince and the Prince?”
Xue Chen nodded, “I have already sent the news to the prince. I just saw the prince coming over.”
Gu Fei asked: “What is the situation in the disaster-stricken areas now?”
Xue Chen bowed: “The gap in the dam has been blocked.”
“There are three dikes in Yunjiang this time, one in Huainan County and two in Donghai County. The affected farmland has not yet been completely counted. It is about several million acres. In some low-lying places, the water has not receded yet, and there are almost ten victims. Thousands of people.”
“Fortunately, most places were not severely affected, not many people died, but all the grain in the fields was soaked.”
“This year’s harvest will definitely be much smaller.”
Gu Fei said softly: “Okay, I understand, thank you for your hard work.”
After sending Xue Chen away, Gu Fei thought about it and said that there will be a great epidemic after the flood. There will be drowned people, livestock and all kinds of garbage in the flood. You can imagine how many bacteria there are in it.
As far as she knows, although there are wells in the south of the Yangtze River, there are very few people who dig wells. Most people drink water from the river, and there is plenty of water in the south of the Yangtze River anyway.
Fetch the river water and stir it with alum. The water becomes clear and looks very clean. Many people have the habit of drinking raw water.
However, the river water at this time is originally clean and there is no industrial pollution. The excrement is kept as fertilizer and will not be discharged into the river water.
Gu Fei thought about it, asked Qin’er to bring a pen and paper, and wrote down a list full of things that need to be paid attention to after the disaster. The main ones are to drink well water as much as possible, not raw water, and use preventive decoctions in case of an epidemic. Isolate in time and so on.
After writing, Gu Fei put the paper into the envelope and handed it to Qin’er, “Send this letter to Prime Minister Su for me.”
The King of Qi, Prime Minister Su and several officials were discussing matters in the government office, and they were discussing disaster relief.
The King of Qi was trying to win over the people, so he paid great attention to this disaster.
