Chapter 257: Disaster Victims Want to Riot
The county magistrate pondered for a moment and said, "Not appropriate."
"First of all, there are so many victims. We don't know how many temporary houses we need to build."
"Secondly, if so many temporary houses were built outside the town, I'm afraid many disaster victims would take the opportunity to live there for a long time."
He is not exaggerating, this is really the case.
Those disaster victims left their homes and came to the outside of the town. If they found a place to live close to the town, they would definitely live there for a long time.
If he arranges people to drive them away, considerable conflicts and problems will arise.
The lawyer was so anxious that his mouth was about to blister. He kept rubbing his hands, "Sir, this method won't work. What should we do then?"
"In this situation, if we don't make proper arrangements quickly, more serious problems will arise."
The county magistrate knew all this, so he scratched his head, trying to think of a solution. "The victims now have food and drink, the only problem is where they can find shelter."
"If the county government gives them a few taels of silver as a way to go home, will they return to their original village?"
The master said, "It's hard to say."
"Sir, if it were me, I would choose to find a way to stay in town."
"Although the snow has stopped now, it's still icy everywhere. We can't even find a bite to eat. We might as well stay in town."
"I can have something to eat, and I don't have to worry about any danger."
The county magistrate really couldn't think of a solution, so he summoned the entire county government team to come up with a solution.
As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang.
He just couldn't believe that so many people in the county government couldn't come up with a proper solution.
Here, the county magistrate and others are thinking of a solution.
Over there, Wooden Baby was lying on the cashmere blanket on the floor of the house, like a gecko.
“So this is floor heating.”
She put one side of her face against the ground, then the other.
Before, she had been wondering what underfloor heating was, why the county magistrate's house was so warm, and where the underfloor heating was.
Now, she knows.
Dr. Deng let her lie on the cashmere blanket, which was clean and there was no need to worry about any problems.
"Baby, do you understand the benefits of floor heating now?"
Baby Mu hummed and said, "The floor heating is so comfortable."
"Master, I want to earn enough money this year to install floor heating in my house so I don't have to worry during the winter."
Buying a house comes after floor heating.
Keeping your home warm is the most important thing.
Doctor Deng said, "Yes."
He glanced at the dark sky outside and said, "Baby, it's time to go to bed."
Mu Baobao was reluctant to get up from the ground.
She touched her warm face and happily jumped in front of Doctor Deng, "Master, am I supposed to sleep here alone tonight?"
Doctor Deng saw that she was not afraid and touched her head. "You are not sleeping here alone. There will be a maid to keep watch."
He explained, "The maid will sleep on the floor in the room. If you need anything, just call the maid, okay?"
Mu Baobao thought about the warmth on the ground and stopped worrying about the maid getting cold. "Master, I understand."
Doctor Deng explained some more things and then told the maid to get hot water for washing her face and feet.
During this period, he also taught Mu Baobao how to identify several maids, etc.
After washing his face and feet, Dr. Deng stuffed the warm baby into a warm quilt.
"Master, it's so warm in here, even warmer than the kang at home." Baby Mu fumbled around in the quilt with his little paws, looking surprised.
Doctor Deng smiled and said, "With the floor heating, it will definitely be warmer than the kang in your home."
"Go to sleep. Tomorrow morning we'll go look at the oxcart. Didn't your family want to buy one?"
When Mu Baobao heard this, he immediately lay down on the bed and fell asleep obediently, "Master, I'm going to sleep."
Doctor Deng tiptoed out of the room.
He glanced coldly at the two maids following behind him, and his low voice was full of warning: "Serve well."
"If anything happens to my apprentice, you'll be in danger!"
The two maids knelt hurriedly on the ground and whispered, "Please rest assured, Doctor Deng, we will serve the young lady well."
Doctor Deng knocked on the door for a few more times before returning to his room to rest.
The first night after the snow stopped, the wind was biting cold.
The biting cold wind was like ice knives, constantly blowing on the victims.
The wind made everyone shiver.
Even if they all gathered together, it was still very cold.
"It's stopped snowing now, why won't the county magistrate let us into town? Are you trying to freeze us to death?"
"No, I'm so cold I can't even speak properly."
"We can't wait any longer. We must get an explanation from the county magistrate. Otherwise, we will soon freeze to death here."
"Tomorrow morning, as soon as the city gates open, we will rush into the town and ask the county magistrate for an explanation."
"I won't go! The county magistrate has been very kind to us, providing us with food and drink and even taking care of our doctors. I don't think it's because he doesn't want us to enter the town, but because there are too many victims."
"I agree with you. There are at least a thousand disaster victims here. If so many of them all came to town, how big a mess would it cause? Not to mention, many of them are not good people to begin with."
"Everyone!" someone shouted at this moment, "The county magistrate is clearly going to freeze us all to death here."
"We can't keep going on like this!"
"In order to survive and for the future, we must unite to resist the county magistrate!"
His words were echoed by some of the victims.
"You're right. We must resist, otherwise we will freeze to death here."
"Why should the county magistrate enjoy the best food and drink at home while we have to starve here?"
"When the city gates open tomorrow morning, we'll rush into town. We can eat whatever we want and take whatever we want. We'll be city dwellers for once."
Many disaster victims were hesitant, and some expressed that they would not do such a thing.
A disaster victim with a pointed face and monkey cheeks raised his arms and said, "Everyone, whether we can become city dwellers and enjoy a good life depends on tomorrow."
"We must unite together, resist the county magistrate, and get everything we deserve!"
His words were agreed by many people.
"We must rebel against the county magistrate! We can't let the county magistrate enjoy all the good things on his own. We also want to live a good life!"
"Brothers, unite, we are going to rush into the town and rob!"
The noise made by the victims had alarmed the city gate guards and others who were on guard.
They looked at each other in horror, then crawled to find the county magistrate.
When the county magistrate crawled out of his warm bed and learned from his legal advisor what the victims outside the town had to do, he felt a darkness before his eyes.
"I...are these disaster victims crazy?"
He suddenly realized something, "No, someone is playing tricks on me!"
"Ordinary disaster victims wouldn't have the guts to break into a town and have the audacity to rob it."
