In fact, Huo Lingjue wrote to her frequently when she went to Jiangnan.
She already knew many things, she just came to meet people now.
You must know that whether it is a plague, a hailstorm, or an earthquake in the south of the Yangtze River, it will not be clearly stated in the imperial edict. You will only be sent there in the name of inspection, and you will act according to the situation.
Although after several incidents in succession, everyone has already made speculations about this vague intention, but after all, they cannot be sure of it.
So I am quite worried.
Huo Ling is by no means better than Shen Zhoujin. His friendship with the emperor is not public, so in everyone's eyes, his image is that of "Prince Qin's little darling wife". He really doesn't dare to offend and look down upon. I really looked down on him, and made many jokes and speculations in private.
They felt that he was just a young man who was desperately trying to achieve something to prove that he was capable.
Or they may clearly want benefits, and they may just be "using sex to make things happen", and they're just here to gain credit.
But I didn't expect that when they met, Huo Lingjue was like an old fox who was used to officialdom. He was so sophisticated that it was shocking, he knew everything clearly, he didn't have any dirt in his eyes, and he seemed to have no emotions at all. He's so sophisticated, he strikes hard, but he keeps his footing firmly on the line, so he won't make you flip the table and explode.
This surprised all the officials from Jiangnan who came with contempt.
Huo Lingjue had been prepared to take this route all his life, so the first time he officially went on a business trip, he immediately showed this appearance clearly and fairly.
This is the "Qingtian" route of being cold and clear-minded, patrolling on behalf of the emperor, and taking care of things when they see them.
As a solitary minister, Shen Zhoujin actually adopted a more casual and worry-free approach. She only focused on running the emperor's errands and did not care about other noisy matters unless trouble came to her and she had to take care of it.
But Huo Lingjue's approach is the most worrying and the most hated.
During the time he came here, Jiangnan officials often scolded him behind his back, but Huo Lingjue didn't care. Anyway, if you dare to pervert the work I handed over, I'll do it for you, and I won't give him any face.
Therefore, no matter how much these people scolded, they did not delay their work at all.
Huo Lingjue first asked people to build several batches of simple houses.
In fact, because the date was clear, it was okay not to build the house, but to just send people out to find a place to squat. But because it could still be used later, and mainly because it was easier to schedule, he still asked people to build it. It has a base and can be pulled away directly after use.
At the same time, he also told Jiangnan officials in private about the earthquake.
Which of these people would not hesitate to die?
Once the words are passed on, these people will be able to deal with the most troublesome group of people themselves.
On Huo Lingjue's side, it took more than two months to build the simple house, and then directly announced the matter.
There was no force, just a simple notice, asking the government officials to go door to door in the earthquake area.
Qin Tianjian built a seismometer and predicted that there will be a major earthquake in the first half of September this year. The government has built simple houses in certain places, which can accommodate xx households. It is first come, first served. Please make sure everyone is in order and get the people there as soon as possible. Statistics will be reported. Starting from the end of August, people will be temporarily accommodated in simple rooms in batches according to the distance of the road. They will stay for free, and they will be provided with water from the time they move in to the day of the earthquake. There will be officers and soldiers patrolling here every day to protect the door. If Those who don’t leave will be responsible for their own lives and deaths.
In short, the notice was written in a very bureaucratic way. It didn't even say a word about the severity of the earthquake. It gave off a feeling that whether you love it or not, you can seek death if you want, and the government will not care about you...
The reason why I didn’t write down a specific date is to allow enough time for scheduling.
Fortunately, the epicenter area is not large, and the furthest distance can be reached within three days of walking, so it is easy to dispatch.
This approach is completely different from Shen Zhoujin.
But Huo Lingjue knows people's hearts well, and there is a reason why he writes this way.
Because the officials had already received a letter before, one or two months would be enough for them to move around, so this notice was originally written for the people to see.
According to those people's recollections, it was originally written on the brochure that "nearly 200 houses collapsed and more than 50 people are missing." This can be said to be serious, and it can be said that it is not serious, but it is indeed not serious.
After all, houses these days are still very easy to collapse. If only more than 200 houses collapsed, it means that the earthquake was not too violent this time.
Therefore, if he forcibly drives them away and waits for an earthquake to break out later, it will appear to be making a fuss out of a molehill. By doing this, it seems that he has given them the choice.
In this case, they are the ones in trouble.
And here, he put a little hook, because the number of simple houses is far less than the number of people who need to be moved, so it is "first come, first served".
The common people have their own little wisdom. If you must go, it is better to go early, and you can still choose a good one and have a supply of water.
When the common people leave, why don't the small businessmen and hawkers leave? People follow the herd. When the streets are quiet, everyone feels panicked, so they naturally follow suit.
It's not cold yet, so we can survive outside for a few days without a simple room.
People are actually very strange. If you hear that no one lives in a simple house, you won't be anxious. But if you hear that the simple house is full and everyone is living outside, you will be anxious and rush over.
At that time, people will be registered again, saying that if your house falls down, the government will give you some subsidies to build new houses... Once this news is released, the last batch of people who do not want to come will definitely be People were coaxed.
Of course, it doesn't matter even if some people really don't leave. If they stay, they are still afraid. If there are too many people, they can just issue an order around September 10th to let people sleep outside.
After these rounds of measures, if there are still people killed by the collapsed house, it is purely self-inflicted and there is no need to worry about it.
Huo Ling never told Shen Zhoujin this series of thoughts.
But Shen Zhoujin looked at his actions and he could guess the same.
It's mid-August now, and the relocation will start in a few days. Huo Lingjue's place is quite busy.
Shen Zhoujin arrived very late. When he went in and took a look, he was still awake. He must have just finished discussing something with someone. There was a pile of papers spread out on the table and the door was not closed yet.
Shen Zhoujin opened the window and went in.
As soon as Huo Lingjue raised his head, he smiled, stood up and stretched out his hand: "Why are you here? Just now I was thinking, I don't know what's going on over there."
Shen Zhoujin smiled and held hands with him: "I have nothing to do these two days. I will come over to see you."
Huo Lingjue nodded, looked at her without blinking with a smile.
His eyes are big and clear, but because of his thick eyelashes, they always look twitchy when he looks at people.
However, when he really looked at the person, he felt that there was something obviously different... Shen Zhoujin felt a little embarrassed. He obviously missed her very much, but she really didn't miss him that much.
She reached out and hugged his waist: "Are you worried about me? I'm fine. I won't catch the plague or anything like that."
Huo Lingjue nodded, stretched out his hand and pressed her back, and she leaned over to ask him to hug her. Then she heard the sound of footsteps, and two people walked in quickly and said, "Master Huo..."
Then paused.
Huo Lingjue was not embarrassed at all. He turned around and said, "Master Tang? What's the matter?"
