She only wants to do infrastructure construction

Chapter 235 Reinforcement Arrives
Soon, this rescue team from Taihe Prefecture rushed to Shanhu Prefecture.

Nine days had passed since the earthquake.

However, Shanhuzhou has not restored order in nine days, and it is still a mess here.

It was only after entering the main city of Shanhuzhou, Xiao Jiuxi, that he realized how much disaster Shanhuzhou had encountered.

Looking around, there is hardly a single intact house in the main city of Shanhuzhou, all of which are ruins.

Many people were buried under the ruins, and there was no time to dig them out. At this time, the weather was still hot, and the city smelled of rotting corpses. The living people had been resettled outside the city.

The Fu Yin was in charge of disaster relief and porridge, and arranged government servants and ordinary people to dig up corpses in the city every day. All in all, it was very busy.

The arrival of Xiao Jiuxi and his party made the prefect of Shanhu Prefecture very excited, as if the besieged general who had been defending the city for many days was finally waiting for reinforcements.

"Where's Brother Sanhuang?" Xiao Jiuxi looked around the temporary refugee camp and found no sign of Xiao Zhe.Even here in the refugee camps, young and middle-aged people are rarely seen.

"Reporting to King Shang, our lord is organizing rescue work at the iron mine area in the center of the earthquake. The iron mine area is much more serious than this, and the lord is really at a loss."

Xiao Jiuxi sighed imperceptibly, turned to Long Xiaoying and said, "Master Liu, leave one department here to assist the governor of Shanhu Prefecture to deal with the aftermath, and the rest will go into the mining area with me."

"Yes!"

Liu Zheng took the order to dispatch the manpower immediately.

A battalion has 5000 people, and it is divided into five departments, each with 1000 people, and these 1000 people are subdivided into two groups, each with 500 people.

Xiao Jiuxi had fought civil strife for several years in his previous life, and he was no stranger to the division and command of the army. He gave orders naturally, and Liu Zheng did it without hesitation.

It took him a long time to realize that it was the first time that King Sui had deployed his troops to give orders, right?How could he be so familiar with the road, so that he, who has been in the army for many years, can't feel the slightest sense of disobedience.

For a moment, the thoughts in Liu Zheng's heart were quite complicated.

When I looked at Xiao Jiuxi again, I felt a little different.

Speaking of which, it took them seven days and seven nights of hasty marching to reach Shanhuzhou. During these seven days and nights, Xiao Jiuxi was not coquettish at all, and galloped along with the soldiers, which was completely beyond his expectations.

Of course, the soldiers of the Long Xiao Camp also saw Xiao Jiuxi's actions in their eyes. As their leader, Liu Zheng could feel that the soldiers' attitude towards Xiao Jiuxi was also changing.

It's that simple to get the generals to be convinced in the military camp, and no one will reject a sincere and capable person.

Thinking of the scene where thousands of ordinary people lined the road to see each other off that day, Liu Zheng smiled.

The people of Long Xiaoying were like this, watching Xiao Jiuxi secretly, and followed them all the way to the iron mining area.

When it comes to the iron mining area, we have to talk about the topography of Shanhuzhou.

Shanhu Prefecture is different from Taihe Prefecture near the sea. It is inland and surrounded by many mountains and forests. It is a very vast mountain city. When it was not owned by Dachu, it was famous all over the world for its iron, coal, gold and other materials.

Since Da Chu took over here, these mineral resources naturally belonged to the imperial court, but the coal mines were also in charge of the gold mines, and they were not under Xiao Zhe's control.

And these mining areas are not mined all year round, and they are all closed when there is no mining order.

Only the iron ore that Xiao Zhe is in charge of is mined all year round.

There is no way that iron ore can be used to make farm tools and even weapons. It is a scarce and necessary resource.

But now, due to the intensive exploitation of manpower and material resources, it has become the biggest disaster area when natural disasters occur.

There are hundreds of thousands of mountains in the mining area, and there are more than 500 mine openings in these mountains, which accommodate tens of thousands of miners.

Outside the mine there is the Iron Smelting Bureau, a row of factories, all kinds of things.

The earthquake not only collapsed the mine, but even the factories of the Metallurgical Bureau were thrown into chaos by trees and rocks.

In addition to saving people, Xiao Zhe had to salvage supplies. After rushing back from Tingliang Prefecture, he had been busy in the mining area, hardly sleeping.

However, this earthquake was too tragic. Almost all the people he trained over the years were trapped in the mine, and had no choice but to trust his father to ask for help.

The nearest military camp is also ten days away, and it is not known when the father will send someone over.

After all, it will take time to go to the imperial city to listen to the heavens until the Shengyu command is conveyed to the barracks, and it is possible that reinforcements will not come until half a month or even a month later.

Xiao Zhe could only swallow the pressure in his stomach and try his best to dispatch troops.

At this time, all young and middle-aged people in Shanhu Prefecture who were not affected by the disaster were recruited, and everyone was working hard to dig mines to save people.

Although the possibility of saving people is getting lower and lower as time goes by, Xiao Zhe has no choice. It is impossible to give up this mining area. Even if people can't survive, they still have to dig out all of them.

Otherwise, when people rot in it, plagues will breed, and the entire mining area will not be mined for at least three years.

Father will definitely ask the blame.

He doesn't allow this to happen.

Just when Xiao Zhe collapsed completely, Jinglei told him that reinforcements had arrived.

At that time Xiao Zhe came out of the cave in a hurry, and then saw Xiao Jiuxi.

The moment Xiao Zhe saw him, his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Brother Three Emperors, I'm here to help you under the order of my father!" Xiao Jiuxi got off his horse and walked quickly to Xiao Zhe's side: "I brought all the Long Xiaoying with me, if you need to do anything, just tell me."

Xiao Zhe looked at the majestic Long Xiaoying behind him with a complicated face. Not long ago, he was secretly jealous of Xiao Jiuxi for his father's appreciation of Long Xiaoying. He never thought that Xiao Jiuxi would bring Long Xiaoying here so soon. Give him a break.

Xiao Ze showed a little softness on his tired face: "Thank you very much."

Xiao Jiuxi nodded: "Don't be polite, a family should watch over and help each other."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Jiuxi turned to Long Xiaoying and said in a loud voice: "All the officers and men listened to the order to find a place to set up camp, and then quickly joined the rescue. Everything was arranged by the king of the mountain."

"Yes!"

Long Xiaoying quickly set up a team, and its efficiency was amazing.

Compared with the rescue teams temporarily organized from ordinary people at the scene, these thousands of people are not so neat and tidy.

The morale of the originally sluggish rescue team rose a little because of their arrival.

Everyone was even more surprised when they saw that they brought their own food and even a cooking class.

Xiao Zhe also looked at Xiao Jiuxi in surprise.

Xiao Jiuxi smiled: "My daughter-in-law said that we are here to help, not to increase the burden on Brother Sanhuang, so we take care of the food by ourselves. By the way, I even drove a hundred sheep here. The rescue team It's all hard work, everyone eats and works hard. I also brought a lot of herbs, I kept half in the city, and brought the other half over."
