Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 570

People in positions of power often have to face a choice problem. This problem is very realistic and cruel, just like a problem we often hear. If you have a button in your hand, if you don’t press it, ten people will die, and if you press it, one will die. Hundreds of people, do you press or not?

This problem is the same as today’s flood discharge. If the dam is washed away without flood discharge, the common people’s villages in the lower reaches of the Weihe River, Jing River, and Tonghe River will all suffer, and active flood discharge will bear the burden of destroying at least nine villages downstream. The price, this price is huge, and Li Chaosheng is unwilling to accept it.

But what if you don't accept it, no one has the right to bargain in the face of natural disasters.

Natural disasters are merciless.

Li Chaosheng sighed with emotion, and said to Guzi on the side: "Give the order, this matter cannot be delayed. If you hesitate for a second, the possibility of the dam collapsing will increase by one point. Every second is exchanged by the Xun soldiers with their lives." , how can we not cherish it."

"Yes."

Gu Zi immediately responded when he heard the words, and then turned around to convey the order.

Soon the entire Lantian machine was in operation, and the order was quickly delegated to the lowest level. The chief of the middle district got the order and began to mobilize the resources of the whole county to fight the flood and rescue the disaster. Tents were set up in a safe place nearby to receive the victims.

Several mile chiefs who were designated as flood discharge areas received orders from their superiors immediately.

At this time, the office of the government office in Dawangzhuang Township in the lower reaches of the Weihe River, the head of the office was staring at the telegram sent by his superiors on the table with a dark face like a pot bottom:

Chief Yu Zhenli:

Due to the severity of the disaster, the water level of the Weishui River has reached a height not seen in a century. After the resolution of the Lantian government, Dawangzhuang is now designated as a flood discharge area for the Weishui River. The local village chief is requested to cooperate to disperse the local people and livestock immediately to avoid unnecessary casualties.

Lantian County Government Order.

Looking at the order on the paper, the head of the village, Yu Zhen, said with a dark face: "What is the meaning of this decision in the county? Has Dawangzhuang been abandoned? There are thirteen thousand people living in Dawangzhuang, and an order from the county will let people 3000 people have left their homes. Isn’t this a joke about the common people? No, I can’t carry out this order. I can’t watch the people under my rule have their homes destroyed, their farmland destroyed, and the fruits of their labor over the years destroyed. No way. "

Seeing that the chief was so angry, the deputy chief said, "Old Yu, this is the county's decision. Even if we don't want to, there is nothing we can do about it."

Yu Zhenwen said: "Then I can't watch the homes of our [-] fellow villagers be flooded directly. We have seen how the big guys have risked their lives to build our Dawangzhuang all these years. Others Let’s just talk about our Dawangzhuang Bridge, we have thousands of people, we got up early and worked late for two months, and we were all tired and peeled off. Finally, the bridge was repaired, as well as our village’s non-staple food processing factory, winery, and vermicelli. The factory is all done by us little by little with the common people."

"And the common people also rely on their own efforts to build new houses, have their own property and farmland, and they are about to live a good life, but when the flood comes, what can we have left? What can the common people have left? what?"

Yu Zhen excitedly said to the deputy chief, and the deputy chief heard the words and said: "The flood discharge order is issued by the superior, and it may not be of any use for us to fight, but if we carry out the order and minimize the loss, at least A credit is indispensable to us, and it is time to mention it when you are older than you."

Yu Zhen said: "Old Zhang, I have been in the team for three years now, you don't know who I am, am I a person who is greedy for power?

The deputy chief looked at Yu Zhen and said, "Then what do you want? Fight to the superior?"

Yu Zhen said, "I want to try!"

The deputy chief heard the words and said: "Then you try it, the old rules, I will do the basic work and prepare some preparations for the transfer. You can communicate with your superiors and see if you can exchange one for our Dawangzhuang. live."

Yu Zhen nodded and said, "Get me a fast horse. It's not too far from Qingshui County Zhongli Chief's office. You must wait for me."

The deputy chief heard the words and said, "Why don't you send a telegram, it's faster."

"Some things are not clearly stated in the telegram. I have to go to the chief of the middle school."

Yu Zhen trotted out of the town government building, and rode directly to Qingshui County. Fortunately, Dawangzhuang was not far from the Qingshui County Yamen, and Yu Zhen arrived at the county government building after half an hour. Very busy.

Yu Zhen got off his horse, facing many acquaintances.

"Old Yu."

"Old Yu."

……

hey hey~
Yu Zhen nodded all the way to the office of the chief of the middle division. At this time, the chief of the middle division was listening to the report of his subordinates there. He looked up and saw Yu Zhen, and was stunned for a moment.

"Why are you here?"

The head of the middle school looked surprised, and Yu Zhen smiled at this moment and said: "Senior, I have a small matter to ask you."

The middle chief raised his hand to stop his subordinates from reporting, took the report and signed it and said, "Just follow this and come in with me."

Yu Zhen entered the office of the head of the middle village and was about to close the door. The head of the middle village said: "Leave the door open to me, say, come to me for anything, go back quickly after speaking, read the county documents, before noon tomorrow, Dawangzhuang must give I empty."

"Don't, don't, senior, aren't you ruining our Dawangzhuang by doing this?"

Speaking of which, Yu Zhen came to the head of the middle school with a smile and said: "Senior, our Dawangzhuang has not been easy these years. Our foundation is weak. Since I took over, I have been dedicated to my career and worked diligently. I am seeking investment. Grandpa told grandma that my stomach problem was caused by drinking with these investors at that time..."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Zhong Lichang said with a dark face, doesn't he know the purpose of Yu Zhen's trip?No, he knew, he knew too well, but he couldn't let go. How could the hole be loosened? The embankment of the Weihe River is in an emergency. If it continues to block the raging river, the embankment may be destroyed. Once the embankment is destroyed, it will be nothing. A big Wangzhuang, Xiaowangzhuang, these villages and towns were hit by disasters.

At that time, Qingshui County, as well as a dozen or even dozens of counties in the surrounding area will recruit disasters together. The blow to the entire Lantian will be dozens or even hundreds of times that of active flood discharge now.

So he can't let go of this hole, and he is not qualified to let it go. Although Dawangzhuang will be flooded, what is it?
Abandoning a few villages and towns, saving more than a dozen counties, this business, without the county lord, he understands it.

Yu Zhen looked at Zhongli Chang and said: "Senior, we were taught by a teacher. You were my teaching assistant back then, and I have always respected you. Over the years, you said that Dawangzhuang needs to develop, and I will focus on development. You said Dawangzhuang needs to attract investment, so I will do so. You said that the resources in the county are limited and need to be given to those difficult villages and towns first. Our Dawangzhuang is so difficult that I didn’t ask you for a policy once.”

"Over the years, I have built roads, built bridges, and built factories for Dawangzhuang. Dawangzhuang is booming, and the people will soon live a better life. But at this time, you say that Dawangzhuang has become a flood discharge area? Senior, do you have any questions?" Is it so deceitful? Is there such a deceit? How do you ask me to explain to the people of Dawangzhuang that everything in Dawangzhuang is built by them brick by brick."

"What are you going to explain? Why are you here to complain? Is Lao Tzu willing to let your Dawangzhuang and Xiaowangzhuang become flood discharge areas? Is Lao Tzu willing to let Qingshui County become a flood discharge area? Isn't she catching up? Isn't her mother God going to punish us?"

"It's not easy for you, it's easy for me, all your towns are like this, how much effort I have put into this Qingshui County, which one of your ten towns is not my favorite, but which one of the three flood discharge areas will not let you go?" It hurts my heart, but is it useful, is it useful?"

"The water level of the Weihe River has reached a warning line that has not been seen in a century. The dam is in danger of collapsing at any time. If the dam collapses, not to mention your Dawangzhuang, the entire Qingshui County and a dozen surrounding counties will all become a swamp country. Was it about the 3000 people in your Dawangzhuang at that time?"

"It's a matter of hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people. Now sacrificing your three towns of Dawangzhuang, Xiaowangzhuang and Yujiagou can save more than a dozen surrounding counties. I think it's worth it. If I can make a decision on this matter, I will also Support flood discharge, your Dawangzhuang must be flooded!"

Zhongli Chang slapped the table and cursed, how can he not be heartbroken that a town of ten thousand people will be flooded?This is Yu Zhen's Dawangzhuang, and it is also his Dawangzhuang.

There are more than a dozen counties in the surrounding area, and all of the flood discharge areas belong to his Qingshui County. Do you think he, the head of the Qingshui County, can be happy?

Yu Zhen came to question him, who did he question, the county lord?

But who can the county lord ask, God?

The current situation is like this. The flood discharge destroyed Dawangzhuang, Xiaowangzhuang, and Yujiagou's [-]-level villages and towns, but if the flood was not released, then what was in front of him was the possibility that the dam would be destroyed and the entire lower reaches of the Weihe River would be submerged. .

Of course, it is also possible that the dam is strong enough and has not been washed away, but who dares to bet?
If the dam is really destroyed, it will be a matter of life and death for hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of people.

Even a few hundred thousand people would be a huge disaster for Lantian. Even if Lantian was prosperous, it would not be able to withstand such a blow. At that time, the economic loss will not be counted for the time being, and it may affect Lantian and the pace of unifying Ming Dynasty.

"Is there really nothing you can do?"

Yu Zhen didn't give up, the chief of the middle school shook his head and said, "There is nothing we can do."

After saying this, Yu Zhen sat down on the chair, covered his face and rubbed vigorously: "How should I explain to the fellow villagers?"

The Lieutenant sat down and said: "I don't care how to explain, but I want to remind you that tomorrow noon is the deadline, you must take all the people to the designated safe area before noon tomorrow, this is your The responsibility of being the head of Dawangzhuang."

"Of course, I'm not asking you to fool the people with empty teeth. The county government has notified the Political Department and other relevant departments to start drawing up a compensation plan. Although the specific plan has not yet come out, the county government said that the people in the flood discharge area are doing this for Lantian. For those who make sacrifices, the Lantian government will never treat its people badly. All pensions will be given preferential treatment. You can go back and tell the people that the county official promised them that the government will be responsible for rebuilding all damaged houses, and the government will be responsible for compensation for all damaged farmland. For commercial losses, the government will also compensate them in other forms, and guarantee that they will not be allowed to pay for Lantian in vain, and Lantian will never let down any of the people who trust them."

The head of the Zhongli gave Yu Zhen a guarantee, which was also a guarantee given to him by his superiors. Without this guarantee, these low-level officials would not be able to do their jobs. But abandoning their families and jobs and moving away from their native hometowns, what really moved them was the compensation given by the county magistrate.

If there is no compensation, as a Dawangzhuang person with a fairly sound mind, he will not move out of here even if he dies, so why should we only be sacrificed.

Don't say that their consciousness is low, this is not a matter of consciousness, no matter how high the consciousness is, [-] people will unconditionally go with Li Chaosheng, leave their hometown, and give up everything they have gained from a lifetime of hard work?Lost again? ?

It is impossible for anyone to let the people give up their hard-earned family business, not even the gods. Because of this, what the bottom officials need is to impress the people with generous compensation.

Maybe they won't get any benefits from moving away from Dawangzhuang, and life won't be better than before, at least the same as before, and there can't be too much regression.

And this is what the Lantian government needs to guarantee the interests of the common people.

Yu Zhen got the promise from the head of the middle and mile, and saw a higher level of instructions from the head of the middle and mile. Knowing the general trend, even if he didn't want to, now he can only actively cooperate with the leadership.

Before leaving, Yu Zhen took away a preliminary compensation plan from Zhongli Chang's desk. This is his sharp weapon to persuade other ordinary people. Without this, the bird would not leave Dawangzhuang with you.

While many details of compensation are still under discussion, consensus has been reached on several items.

The houses destroyed by the first people will be rebuilt by the government in a unified way after the flood recedes to ensure the living problems of the people.

Second, with regard to the farmland destroyed by the people, the government will compensate one season's grain harvest in the amount of acres of land, which will be distributed to the compensated in the form of currency.

Third, the government is responsible for repairing all damaged factories and commercial buildings, and can provide related tax-free subsidies in the coming year.

Fourth, during the flood disaster, the Lantian government is responsible for resettling people's food, clothing, housing and transportation to ensure the people's survival needs.

It can be said that the compensation plan is very detailed, and it can be said that the people will not lose too much if they move out of Dawangzhuang. Yu Zhen got the compensation terms, and after returning, he immediately read it out to the whole town.

He originally thought that the common people would strongly oppose and even riot when he read out the county official's designation of Dawangzhuang as a flood discharge area. As a result, the common people were much stronger than he imagined. After learning that this was Li Chaosheng's decision, he listened carefully. After the compensation plan was approved, the common people cooperated and chose to move and said: the county lord helped everyone live a good life, but now the county lord is in trouble, how can we all stand by and watch, not to mention that the county lord has given compensation!

Move, must move!
