Rebirth of the noble daughter

Chapter 394. 405. After the Disaster
It is inconvenient for King Ding to show up at this moment, so he has been following Wen Zhonghe's side, giving advice to everyone in the name of He Fang.

"The news of floods and earthquakes in the Southwest will spread to the outside world in a few days. What we have to do now is to rebuild Shuzhou with all our strength. Food is not only available in the official granaries, but also in the Southwest Army. Now refugees are everywhere, just like this every day Sitting here waiting to eat is not a long-term solution, it is better to exchange labor for food. The elderly and children can make some light things, women and children organize to light a fire for cooking, sewing, mending, washing, and moving. Only Shuzhou can be saved."

It is impossible to blindly wait for others to help.

There are Shuzhou, Qianzhou, Liuzhou, and Danzhou on the southwest border. Among them, Shuzhou and Danzhou are the most affluent. However, the flood situation this time is quite serious. Shuzhou, as the intersection of Xishui River and Luohe River, naturally bears the brunt .

However, Danzhou in the lower reaches is not much better. The only thing to be thankful for is that there is no earthquake.

So Danzhou can save itself, but Qianzhou and Liuzhou have never had any foundation, and it is basically impossible to expect them to come to help.

Therefore, Shuzhou's way out can only depend on itself.

Two brothers, Yang Xu and Yang Zhao, led the Southwest Army. One was cleaning up the ruins in the city, clearing the roads to facilitate the passage of vehicles, and the other was dealing with the fish and shrimps and the corpses of dead people outside the city.

Although the Jin people believe in the principle of burying the earth for safety, in the face of natural disasters, in order to prevent the occurrence of the plague, the best way is to burn it with fire, and then dig a deep pit to bury it.

At the tent outside the city, most of the Shuzhou people are here.

Seeing the puffs of thick smoke rising in the distance, many people knelt down and cried in that direction.

They obviously lived an ordinary life peacefully as a family one second, but in the next second they will be separated forever.

No one can get over that hurdle in their hearts.

Soon, the cries and cries in this area spread from one to another, and the mourning spread everywhere.

Crying out, maybe it will be better, bid farewell to the past suffering, and they still have tough battles to fight.

After Wen Zhonghe announced the new policy in the tent, not many people refuted it.

Although they are relying on official relief these days, everyone has strength, so one who stands up and is willing to work hard in exchange for food will naturally drive a group of people.

Moreover, Wen Zhonghe promised them that the sooner they sign up to participate and perform better, after the reconstruction of Shuzhou, they can give priority to selecting good fields to cultivate.

So, everyone is fighting for this opportunity.

On the contrary, those merchants and gentry, the local dignitaries were a little unhappy.

In terms of rough work, how can they do it better than those farmers who already depend on the sky for food.

But if you don't do it, won't you even have to eat?
It's hard to get off a tiger for a while.

So when Wen Zhonghe found their tent, everyone was anxious.

"Don't be afraid, since it is necessary to adapt measures to local conditions, it is natural to divide people according to the work. If you can't do heavy work, you can exchange money for food. The price is [-]% higher than in the past, and the money you get will not be greedy. The official announcement Come out, and then use it for the reconstruction of Shuzhou, or exchange ideas for food, if you can restore the vitality of Shuzhou to the past, there will be no shortage of food for you."

After proposing these methods, smiles appeared on the faces of those people.

Doing heavy work is not their specialty, but if they want to revitalize themselves and Shuzhou City, they really have a way.

The earthquake destroyed their homes, but the things in their minds and past experiences were not destroyed, so they also played a significant role in participating in the reconstruction of Shuzhou.

The refugees form a team of ten people, and elect one person as the leader. They keep records before going to work every day, and receive food and work statistics after work is over.

Soon, those who are willing to work hard and be honest will naturally be well fed, and they will earn a lot of records for the days to come.

But those who love to steal and play tricks are eliminated one by one by the team. After starving for three or two days, they naturally dare not play tricks again.

After such a positive treatment, Shuzhou City really "lived" back.

If the house collapses, it can be rebuilt, and if the field is flooded, it can be built again, but if the hearts of the people are scattered, then there is no hope in the future.

But under the urging of these measures, everyone is full of energy.

Three days later, Feng Jinyao got out of bed and walked around, and when she came outside the tent, all she saw were busy people, and Shuzhou City was recovering little by little.

She was proud of King Ding in her heart.

Qiao Shanwei has not been idle these days. After experiencing the earthquake, he has been completely reborn.

Adversity is like a double-sided mirror. Some people will be depressed and sink, but some people will go straight up and turn into a dragon from then on.

Obviously, Qiao Shanwei is the latter.

A few days ago, he compiled a book of water control methods that he had painstakingly worked on these days, and reported it to King Ding.

After Ding Wang looked at it carefully, he realized why Feng Jinyao had to bring him to the southwest, and why she was so sure that this man could support the Bai family.

Watching him up and down, if you say that he was still a bit childish before, but now he reveals a decent charm.

Don't be afraid in the face of danger, face up to difficulties.

"Shuzhou's water control methods for many years have mostly focused on diversion. The dams are high and the fields are short, so every time the river surges, there is always the possibility that good fields will be submerged again. The flood of the river will cause the people to die, and the river will bring prosperity to the people. It should be At the same time of diversion, widen the river itself, and transform some turbulent places, use water to control the water, so that it flows gently and evenly, and naturally it is not easy to break the dam."

What Qiao Shanwei said is just one of them, and there are other points.

"Following the trend, trees are densely planted around the river, and the soil is condensed by the roots of the trees, so it is naturally not easy to be washed away."

"Water diversion is used for irrigation, and water storage Tianchi is built in some suitable locations, and dry fields may be solved."

"The latter point, which is also the most important point, requires Patriarch Chi's help."

"How to say?"

"The Chi family originally relied on sea transportation to make their fortune, so the matter of river transportation is similar to it. If the cities in Shuzhou and all directions can be connected by rivers, it will not only speed up the connection between various places, but also allow commerce to drive the surrounding development. If there is money to be made, someone will naturally participate, and only someone who participates in this flood can turn waste into treasure."

After he uttered all the thoughts in his heart, King Ding looked at him with admiration in his eyes.

Although some methods still need to be discussed more closely, but on the whole, it has solved the problem of frequent floods in Shuzhou, even the entire southwest, and even in many places south of Dajin.

"Ayao saw the right person! You are indeed good."

Xu Lin seldom listened to Wang's compliments. He never thought that Miss Feng San's cousin could get such compliments, so he couldn't help admiring him.
