Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 373 Disaster Resistance
Hundreds, thousands of people in Yuzhong lost their lives in this flood, and even though tens of thousands of people were lucky enough to escape in time when the flood hit, their lives were lost, but their houses, fields, property, and even rations were lost. It's all gone.

The people in Yuzhong who survived the drought and barely survived never imagined that what they were waiting for was not only the rain after a long drought, but also the spring with dead trees and the multiplication of everything, and the flood that killed people and cut off their way of life.

From this day, groups of farmers dragged their families along the official road to the southeast in the heavy rain to find a way out.

However, a large number of landslides and mudslides blocked the official road.

Many people lost their way halfway through the walk. Their bodies, soaked in rainwater, gradually dropped in temperature in the spring night, and many people lost their strength as they walked.

Especially those who had only held on with one breath before, thinking that they would be saved if they could escape to the city, and then they were relieved with their last breath after being blocked by mountains and rocks.

When officers from the nearby county government came to clean up the official road the next day, they found dozens of frozen corpses.

Such a situation has been found in several towns and counties under the jurisdiction of Lushan County. Fortunately, Lushan County was well prepared to deal with the flood, and the casualties were almost negligible compared with other counties.

After noon that day, He Yong made another trip to Xiahetang Village by inspecting the official roads and the disaster situation of the people in various towns and counties. Under the uniform, there are five official tokens from Lushan County and a token of 50 yuan for the servants.

Avoiding everyone, He Yong said solemnly: "Master Qi Shaodong, Lord Liu told you to be careful, the safety of the people in Lushan County will depend on Sihai."

It's a really big hat.

Gu Qi didn't respond to He Yong's words, but asked instead: "How did Lord Liu agree to this matter?"

"It was decided by Master Wang and Bin Wang after discussing with Master Liu in private." Naturally, He Yong did not say some things to Gu Qiming.

In fact, when He Yong went back at the beginning, it was Liu Shouzheng who went to meet with Wang Hebin together, and informed Liu Shouzheng of Sihai's request.

It's just that things didn't go well. Hearing that people from all over the world wanted uniforms and tokens, Liu Shouzheng immediately refuted the matter without thinking too much. Both Wang and Bin reprimanded them.

He Yong didn't dare to refute Liu Shouzheng's intention, so he persuaded Wang Hebin to forget it, there is no unparalleled road, and he should think of other ways.

But Wang Hebin didn't say anything that day, but went to find Liu Shouzheng privately the next day.

He Yong clearly remembered that he had other matters to report to Master Shangfeng the next day, but he didn't expect to hear angry shouts and throwing cups from inside before he reached the study.

He Yong didn't dare to go in that day, and he didn't dare to leave because he was afraid of something happening, so he just stayed outside.

It was only after waiting for a cup of tea that Liu Shouzheng called the official Lin's family to bring someone to clean up the broken teacup in the study.Afterwards, He Yong waited for another cup of tea, only to see Wang Hebin coming out of it, he didn't see any good or bad on his face, he just told him that your lord agreed to Si Hai's request.

As for how Wang Hebin persuaded Liu Shouzheng, He Yong didn't know and didn't dare to ask.

Gu Qi also didn't intend to delve into it, but only felt that Wang Hebin was interesting.

Thinking about it carefully, more than half of the transaction between myself and Liu Shouzheng was promoted by Wang Hebin, but this Mr. Wang himself has no intention of making a personal relationship with Sihai, and his relationship with him is not even as familiar as He Yonglai. network.

After collecting the uniforms and badges, Jiang Ping was told to take these things to Luoshan Village, and arrange for the next batch of bodyguards who left the city to replace them. Gu Qi stayed with He Yong for a simple meal.

I also asked about the news in the city of Lushan County, and learned that several main rivers outside the city have been reinforced, and the city has already taken precautions. Therefore, although it has been raining heavily these days, most of the residents in the city are still in good condition. .

Even though some low-lying areas or areas close to inner-city rivers have suffered some losses due to excessive rain and rising water levels in inland rivers, most of these losses are controllable and do not harm human life, and no additional relocation is required.

However, compared to the luck of the people in the city, other towns, counties and villages under the jurisdiction of Lushan County are not so lucky.

Although King He Yong and Bin have already made arrangements, they can only select a few key areas for defense when time is tight, supplies are in short supply, and the government offices in the entire county, including several county offices, are short of manpower. control.

In addition, several counties and towns operate independently. In order to ensure the stability of the counties and towns under their own jurisdiction, all available resources and manpower are used in the towns, and they have no time to care about what will happen to the nearby villages.

This cannot be entirely blamed on the government. After all, there are only so many people and so many available resources. are selectively excluded.

The only good news is that many villages in Lushan County are located on relatively high terrain, and some villages are far away from the river, so the disaster is not serious.

Although the officials of another county and town had no time to take care of these villages in terms of resources and manpower, they did not explain everything.

At least the officials in charge of this matter were arranged to convene a meeting of village chiefs and prestigious gentry from the villages under their jurisdiction before the heavy rain came.Let the villages prepare their own flood prevention and control matters.

It's just a matter of celestial phenomena, which is mysterious and unpredictable. It's impossible for all the villagers to listen to the rainstorm one day later. At least it can be regarded as an early warning.

It was these warnings that allowed some villagers to escape from the village before the flood came, and they were lucky enough to guarantee their lives.

Of course, there is luck and there is misfortune.

He Yong sent people to inspect various places yesterday, and news came this morning that two villages were submerged. According to the dictation of the villagers who escaped, the mountain torrents poured down too fast that night, and most of the people in the village were still in the water. In his sleep, he didn't realize that the house had been washed away and submerged.

And the reason why the few of them escaped was only because they lived near the entrance of the village, they got up when they heard a huge movement, and seeing the raging mountain torrents, some of them didn't even put on their coats.

Those who had no time to escape put their children in the tub while the adults struggled to survive by hugging the table.

But for the government, these two villages are located in remote places, and originally they didn't have a large population. Although it was a disaster, it was already a blessing in misfortune.

After all, according to the news this morning, seven or eight villages under the jurisdiction of the neighboring county have been submerged, and even two county towns have been severely affected and many people have died.

"Among several counties, Taikang County is in the best situation during this flood. Except for Wangjia Village, where all villagers were evacuated in advance, all villages have been preserved."
