Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 402 Disaster Relief

Chapter 402 Disaster Relief
It was already evening now and the sky was dark.

Zhu Xuan and the others used torches to illuminate the streets and walked around the water-filled streets. Fortunately, it didn't rain, otherwise they would have had to patrol the disaster situation in disgrace.

The firelight reflected on the water surface brought some embellishment to the night, but it could not embellish the current miserable situation in the city.

Fortunately, Zhu Xuan received news from foreign businessmen in advance and knew that there was a typhoon. Panyu City made preparations in advance and many houses were temporarily reinforced. The impact would not be great and was within control.

The policemen in the city, the soldiers at the guard station, and Zhu Xuan's personal guards.

This group of people has been on standby early in the morning. As long as the rain stops and the wind stops, they will immediately provide rescue and disaster relief and protect the people in the city.

Zhu Xuan had ordered Xu Qi to arrange the rescue preparations and assembly of personnel early in the morning.

In order to protect the lives of the people, these cannot be neglected, which is also the experience Zhu Xuan learned hundreds of years later.

Now when he went outside, he saw many soldiers from the guard station, stepping on the stagnant water, walking around the city, relocating the trapped people, looking for the missing people, draining the flood water, etc.

Some officials in the city may know that Zhu Xuan has come out. They can't stay at home and enjoy it, so they have to run out to direct the work.

"Your Highness, how about we go back?"

Hou Xian saw that the sky was getting darker and darker and it started to rain again, so he held an umbrella for Zhu Xuan and said worriedly.

Where a disaster occurs, it can easily lead to unrest, and Hou Xian is worried about the danger.

Fortunately, the rain is not too heavy now, so the torch will not go out.

Zheng He, carrying a torch, followed beside Yan Guan.

More than a dozen Jinyi guards quickly launched protection.

"Your Highness, there is water everywhere outside and you can't see the road. If you encounter a low-lying or sunken road, it is easy to fall into it and it is very dangerous." Zheng He also persuaded worriedly, "If Your Highness is worried, you can kill him." The slave is outside, watching everything."

Zhu Xuan also knew that with his status, he should not appear outside.

Grandpa Huang devoted himself to the people. As a grandson, he had to understand the sufferings of the people.

"We'll go back after a walk."

Zhu Xuan refused to listen and said again: "Yan Guan, please arrange for a few people to go to the trading port to have a look."

"Yes!"

Yan Guan could only obey orders.

"Your Highness!"

At this time, Hua Ying, the commander of the Guangdong capital, arrived.

At this time, he was covered in mud and water.

He doesn't look like a general who can fight, but more like an old farmer.

Zhu Xuan thinks this is pretty good.

"Master Hua, how's it going?"

Zhu Xuan asked first.

"Master Xu is in the south of the city, and I am in the north."

Hua Ying wiped the muddy water on her face and exhaled: "Many places are flooded. The Pearl River has swollen and is almost submerged. The water in our city cannot be drained out, so it should be soaked for a few days. "

Floods and stagnant water cannot be drained.

Many times the problem is not the drainage system, but the rivers that can drain the water, which are overloaded at this time.

The water levels in the rivers have risen so much that the water in the city cannot be drained out.

Hua Ying added: "Fortunately, His Highness reminded us that the people hid their food in high places to avoid soaking it. For the people who have no food, we are going to open warehouses to release food..."

After hearing Huaying's report, Zhu Xuan felt a little relieved.

Soon he asked again: "What about the people and crops in the villages outside the city?"

“It’s actually nice outside the city!”

Hua Ying was very impressed and said: "Your Highness allocated funds to improve water conservancy, strengthen river embankments, and dig various ditches to regulate floods and drain water. The crops and villages outside the city were not flooded. The floods passed through the ditches and flowed to low-lying areas, and the river embankments did not collapse. . This merit is immeasurable, and we, the people of Guangzhou, have to thank His Highness for this gift."

"call……"

Zhu Xuan breathed out when he heard that nothing happened outside the city.

It's fine.

Hua Ying said again: "It's dangerous outside, please go back and rest, Your Highness."

Zhu Xuan also wiped the water on his face, shook his head and said: "You are all busy, how can I rest peacefully? Grandpa Huang has always taught me that the people are the foundation of the world, and we must serve the people. I will take another walk Just go back and let Mr. Hua go about your business! Don’t worry about me.”

"Your Highness is benevolent and righteous!" Hua Ying shouted.

Other soldiers and civilians nearby looked at him with great excitement after hearing Zhu Xuan's words.

Seeing His Highness working with them to provide disaster relief, I was immediately full of energy.

We are also full of confidence in rebuilding our homes.

If His Highness is like this, how can they neglect him?
Huaying quickly went to work.

The Jin Yiwei who arranged to go out later came back and reported the situation.

The situation in the trading port was not bad. The Pearl River rose, but the impact was not big. It was just that many merchant ships were capsized.

"Tell all foreign merchants that our trading port will be responsible for repairing the capsized merchant ship. If it cannot be repaired, we will be responsible for redoing it."

Zhu Xuan believed that he could take this opportunity to win over foreign businessmen.

However, he still did not go back.

Continuing to walk around outside, we soon arrived at the south of the city.

Along the way, we can see that the city is very stable, there is no unrest, and there are no other bad influences.

"Your Highness."

When we were in the south of the city, we finally saw Xu Qi.

Compared with Huaying, Xu Qi is more respectable as a scholar, wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat.

As soon as he saw Zhu Xuan, he came over to say hello and also reported the situation.

"Chengnan is fine for the time being."

"We are already working hard to save people, but no dead or missing people have been found here."

"It will take a few days for disaster relief in other counties in Guangzhou to be delivered. We don't know the details yet."

Xu Qi said first.

Zhu Xuan said: "You pass down my order. I will compensate all those who participated in the disaster relief afterwards. I will bear all the expenses needed to rebuild their homes."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Xu Qi shouted excitedly.

He also expressed gratitude to Zhu Xuan on behalf of the people of Guangzhou Prefecture.

After a tour, Zhu Xuan found that he was only encouraging for disaster relief and could not bring much help. He had seen enough and was finally willing to go back.

Hou Xian and Zheng He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Back home, Zhu Xuan looked like he had just been fished out of the water.

I was soaked all over, and I didn’t know how uncomfortable it was to be so wet.

"Come here, arrange hot water for His Highness."

Zheng He said anxiously.

"no need."

Cen Hua didn't rest, so she hurried over and said, "The hot water has been prepared a long time ago. Your Highness, go and change quickly."

She was also very thoughtful and prepared these for Zhu Xuan in advance.

The appearance of a good wife and mother.

"Thank you, little sister Hua'er."

Zhu Xuan was not polite and warned: "It's already early in the morning, Hua'er, go back and rest quickly, don't worry about us."

When he got to the room, he could indeed see hot water.
