The Strong Wife From Peasant Family Chapter 459 Placement

After waiting for another hour, Liu s.h.i.+ returned to report that the hungry wolves had left the Ningxia.

Hearing this, the people cheered.

Seeing that, Li Qingling heaved a sigh of relief, the corners of his mouth exposed a smile, the matter had been successfully resolved.

Liu Zhimo was more cautious as he instructed the guards to keep patrolling for the next few days in case the cunning wolves lied to them.

The guards nodded in agreement. For the next few days, they carefully patrolled the foot of the mountain.

Only after finding no signs of the hungry wolves for a few days did Liu Zhimo finally relax a little. He knew that the hungry wolves had truly left the Ningxia.

Having solved the disasters that happened every winter, he didn't even have time to relax before he faced the difficult problem of settling the victims.

He did not know why, but this winter, many victims came to the Ningxia.

If they were not placed down, they would have to starve to death in front of Ninghua County City.

However, since he was going to arrange for so many people, he felt a little troubled. He didn't know where to put them.

Seeing his gloomy expression, Li Qingling revealed her thoughts.

Liu Zhimo and Mr. Luo felt that her idea was not bad and thought that it was worth a try.

"If Xiao Ling was a man, he would definitely have done a lot." Mr. Luo praised Li Qingling.

Liu Zhimo nodded his head in agreement, thinking that Li Qingling was his good wife who would always be able to come up with a good idea for him.

Li Qingling somewhat embarra.s.sedly shook his head and said. She also thought of something and the ones who did it were them.

It was because she thought of a modern method to deal with the victims of disasters that she suggested it to them. Whether they wanted to do it or not depended on their intentions.

Every time they didn't mind, they would always follow her instructions.

She was happy to have their trust in her.

Liu Zhimo strongly held her hand, stood up and said, without further ado, he will go and make his move.

The faster you are, the less damage the victims will suffer.

Li Qingling said yes, and told him to go ahead and do it, she would continue cooking and told him not to worry.

Liu Zhimo looked at her and said, "My wife, you've worked hard."

If she hadn't been there, he would have been busy.

"What's there to be polite between husband and wife?" Li Qingling pouted at him, then nudged him again, telling him to hurry up and stop wasting time.

"Alright, be careful when you go out. Wear thicker, don't get so cold."

Li Qingling said yes, and after seeing that Liu Zhimo had left, he turned to look at Mr. Luo, and troubled him to take care of Xiaoxiao.

Mr. Luo said with a smile, what he wished for was too much.

He couldn't wait to be with the little girl every day. How could he say it was troublesome?

Little people were never a problem to him.

With Mr. Luo here, Li Qingling was completely at ease to lead the guards and carry the steamed bun with white porridge to the city gate.

When the victims saw that Li Qingling and the others had arrived, they swarmed over.

The guard stood in front of him, solemnly saying, "Line up, don't line up, don't give food."

Upon hearing these words, the victims obediently lined up, staring at the steaming congee, swallowing their saliva.

If it wasn't for the kind Magistrate's Wife who gave them porridge, they would have already starved to death from the cold.

Looks like coming to the Ninghua County was the right decision.

While cooking the porridge, Li Qingling took the chance to tell them not to worry, as the County Magistrate would quickly help them solve their problem.

With that, the victims instantly boiled over with excitement, all of them asking Li Qingling if what he said was true?

It was snowing heavily, and they wanted to find a place where they could hide from the snow.

Li Qingling smiled and said that it was true. He told them to wait patiently for the County Magistrate's arrangements.

They thought that they would die here, but they never thought that they would encounter such a good County Magistrate and Magistrate's Wife. Not only did they want to give them food, they even wanted to solve their living problems.

How lucky they were to have met such a fine lady and lord.

"Thank you, milord. Thank you Madam. Bodhisattva will protect you for a hundred years."

Looking at the excited refugees, Li Qingling said in a loud voice, this is what they should do, no need to thank me.

Since the victims had come to Ninghua County, they had to make proper arrangements and not let them die here. Otherwise, not only would their conscience not be satisfied, they would also be scolded by the Emperor.

Just as Li Qingling finished his porridge and was about to go back, Liu Zhimo came along with a large group of people carrying a wooden log.

Li Qingling really did not expect Liu Zhimo to collect so much wood in such a short period of time.

It was obvious that he held a higher position in the hearts of the citizens of Ninghua County.

The people responded more and more quickly.

This was also the sincerity of the citizens of the Ninghua County, they couldn't bear to see the victims die from cold weather and sacrifice the wood in their homes.

Liu Zhimo saw Li Qingling and smiled at her, then turned to look at the victims and shouted: "I will build a hut for you in the open s.p.a.ce in front of you. When spring starts, if you guys are willing to stay in the Ninghua County, then we can make other arrangements." There was a room to shelter them from the wind and snow. They should be able to survive the winter.

All the victims kneeled on the ground and shouted their thanks to the great master.

Liu Zimo raised his hand to get them to get up.

Since the weather was good and the snow was no longer falling, he had to build the wooden house as soon as possible.

Seeing the people building them huts, the victims did not give in and rushed over to help.

With more people and more strength, it took him two days to build ten wooden houses.

Let the victims live together, men and women, in separate quarters.

With the wooden house, food, and the old clothes donated by the citizens, the victims were able to settle down in Ninghua County.

They were not ungrateful people. Knowing that the citizens of Ninghua County had given so much for them, they also thought of ways to repay the citizens, so they got up early every morning and went to clean up the snow in Ninghua County City with broom in hand. They did not let the snow bury the road.

Seeing the victims' behavior, the people got along with them more harmoniously.

People who knew how to be grateful were much easier to accept.

… ….

Far away in the capital, the emperor was flipping through the imperial reports. As he read more, his brows furrowed even tighter.

A county has more deaths than a county. What do they eat? Why didn't you make preparations earlier and properly arrange for the victims?

Until he saw Liu Zhimo's imperial report, he was stunned for a moment.

Ninghua County zero death?

He could not help but slam the table and shout, "Nice to meet you!"

He hadn't paid attention to the Ninghua County in a long time, so he didn't know how the Ninghua County had turned out.

From the looks of it, it was pretty good.

"Men, quickly send a message to the Ninghua County and ask Liu Qingping how exactly did he manage to kill the Ninghua County?"

Maybe it was his teacher who suggested this to Liu Zhimo.

That Mo brat was truly lucky to be able to obtain the full support of his teacher.

However, no matter what, he could just manage the Ninghua County well.

The process was unimportant, but the result was the most important.

After Liu Zhimo received the quick horse encyclopedia from the emperor, he immediately explained the method to deal with the refugees. The method was also mentioned in the imperial report as it was the idea of his wife.

This was the work of his wife, and no one could take it away from him.

After the Emperor found out, he gave Liu Zhimo a few more praises. Liu Zhimo's life was good, and he married an intelligent woman.

During the morning a.s.sembly, when he was facing his most trusted aides, his face was cold. He told them the number of deaths in each county one by one, asking them how to deal with them.

With this question, the civil officials began to argue, giving a myriad of answers.

To the emperor, it sounded like a completely useless method that could not be cured.

"I just want to ask my beloved officials why there were so many deaths in the other counties while not a single person died in Ninghua County. Have you all thought about the reason?"

Ninghua County?

Some people remembered that Liu Zhimo was a county magistrate in the Ninghua County, while Mr. Luo was also in the Ninghua County.

"Your Majesty, is Mr. Luo in the Ninghua County?" With Mr. Luo, who wanted to know the geography of the place, how could there be casualties in the Ninghua County?

With Mr. Luo's help, he was like a tiger with wings.

"I know what all of you are thinking, but it's a pity that it wasn't teacher's idea this time." The Emperor did not keep them in suspense anymore, and told them of Liu Zhimo's method of settling the victims. "This idea was thought up by Liu County Official's wife, Li Qingling." He believed that Liu Zhimo would not lie to him.

"The Emperor is blessed with such a good subject. The heavens have blessed me." A member of the Liu Family shouted.

The nemesis of the Liu Family didn't dare to make any objections at this time. They clenched their teeth and shouted out loud.

The emperor nodded and told his men to spread the news. They had to properly arrange the victims and prevent any more casualties.

Following that, he publicly gave Li Qingling the t.i.tle of the first-cla.s.s wife, giving him a thousand gold coins and several boxes of silks and silk.

Other than calling him the Emperor, none of the officials had anything else to say.

They were all intelligent people. When the emperor was in a good mood, they wouldn't touch the emperor's bad luck.

Not to mention that a fifth-grade first rank madame only had a t.i.tle and a salary. She didn't have any real privileges and wouldn't be able to affect them, so there was no need for them to oppose her.

When the Emperor saw that they had nothing more to do, he announced to the court that it would be the next day.

Once inside, Liu Wenjie hurried home, wanting to tell Old Man Liu the good news, making him happy.

Even though he had such a capable nephew, he still felt proud of him.

"Hey, Lord Liu, why are you walking so fast?" Someone called out to Liu Wenjie.

Liu Wenjie stopped and turned around, "Master Zhao." What can I do for him?

"Lord Liu, congratulations to you. You have a good nephew as well as a daughter-in-law."

"Lord Zhao, you're too kind." Even if they were happy in their hearts, they couldn't show it, lest others act arrogantly.

Master Zhao laughed and said that the Liu Family was too low-key and too humble.

Liu Wenjie did not reply him, he only laughed and said that his family's carriage had come, and had left first.

After returning to the Liu Family, he told Old Man Liu the good news. When Old Man Liu heard it, he was startled and immediately agreed to it.

His grandson and daughter-in-law were amazing.

"Father, you recuperate and wait for Mo Er and the others to return home to reunite with you."

His father had been sick ever since winter, and he still hadn't recovered from it yet. This made him very worried.

Old Man Liu nodded in agreement. After hearing the good news, he felt that his body was a bit better now.

He couldn't bear to die so quickly. He had to at least see Yan'Er get married to be able to die.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to relax.
