Chapter 394 394. After the disaster

It is not convenient for King Ding to show up at this moment, so he has been following Wen Zhonghe and making suggestions for everyone in the name of a congratulatory visit.

"The news of the earthquake in Southwest China will spread to the outside world soon. 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 that refugees are everywhere, it is like this every day It is not a long-term solution to just wait here for food. It is better to exchange labor for food. The elderly and children can make some light things. Women and children can organize themselves to make fires to cook, mend and wash. Only by moving can Shuzhou be saved. "

It is impossible to just wait for others to help.

There are Shuzhou, Qianzhou, Liuzhou and Danzhou on the southwest boundary. Among them, Shuzhou and Danzhou are the richest. However, the flood situation this time is quite serious. Shuzhou, as the intersection of Xishui River and Luo River, is naturally the first to bear the brunt. .

But Danzhou downstream was not much better. The only thing that was fortunate was that there was no earthquake.

So Danzhou can still save itself, but Qianzhou and Liuzhou have never had a strong foundation. It is basically impossible to expect them to come to rescue.

So, the way out for Shuzhou is to rely on itself.

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

Although the people of the Jin Dynasty believed in the principle of burying people in peace, in the face of natural disasters, in order to prevent the occurrence of plague, the best way is to burn them with fire and then dig deep pits to bury them.

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

Looking at thick smoke rising up in the distance, many people knelt down and cried in that direction.

They were living an ordinary life harmoniously as a family one second, and the next second they were separated forever.

No one can overcome that hurdle.

Soon, the cries in this area spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, mourning was everywhere.

Crying out may make things better, saying goodbye to the sufferings of the past. They still have a tough battle to fight next.

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

Although they are here relying on government relief these days, everyone has some strength, so one person who stands up and is willing to work in exchange for food can naturally lead a group of people.

Furthermore, Wen Zhonghe promised them that those who sign up first and perform better will have priority in selecting good fields for farming after Shuzhou is rebuilt.

So, everyone is scrambling to get this opportunity.

On the contrary, the merchants and gentry, the local dignitaries were somewhat unhappy.

When it comes to menial work, how can they do better than farmers who depend on the weather for their livelihood?

But if you dont do it, wouldnt it mean that you wont even have food to eat?

It was hard to get off the tiger for a while.

So when Wen Zhonghe came to their tent, everyone was anxious.

"Don't be afraid. Since we have to adapt to local conditions, we naturally have to divide people according to work. You can't do heavy work, so you have to exchange money for food. The price is 30% higher than in the past. I will not be greedy for money. Announcement of 1510 Come out and use it for the reconstruction of Shuzhou, or exchange your ideas for food. If you can restore Shuzhou to its former vitality, you will not be short of food."

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

The work of gravity qi 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, and elect one person as the leader. They keep records before starting work every day, and collect food and work statistics after work. Soon, those who were both hard-working and honest were naturally well fed and had earned a lot to keep records for the rest of the day.

But those who like to cheat and act sneaky will be eliminated one by one by the team. After three or two days of starvation, they naturally dare not play tricks again.

After such positive treatment, Shuzhou City truly came back to life.

A house can be rebuilt if it falls down, and a new one can be built if the fields are flooded. But if the people's hearts are broken, there will be no hope in the future.

But under the supervision of these methods, everyone is full of energy.

Three days later, Feng Jinyao got out of bed and walked around. When she came outside the tent, she saw busy people and Shuzhou City, which was recovering bit by bit.

She was very proud of King Ding in her heart.

Qiao Shanwei has not been idle these days. After experiencing the earthquake, his whole person was completely transformed.

Adversity is like a double-sided mirror. Some people will become depressed and sink, but some people will strive to rise and become dragons.

Obviously, Qiao Shanwei is the latter.

A few days ago, he compiled the water control methods he had worked **** during this period into a book and submitted it to King Ding.

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

Looking at him, if he was still a bit childish before, he now reveals a good aura.

Be fearless in the face of danger and face difficulties head on.

"Most of Shuzhou's water control methods over the years have been based on diversion. The dams are high and the fields are low. Therefore, every time the river water surges, there is always the possibility of submerging the fertile fields. Flooding rivers will bring disaster to the people, and smooth rivers will bring prosperity to the people. This should be While diverting the water, we should widen the river itself and modify some turbulent locations to control the water flow so that it flows gently and evenly, so that it is naturally less likely to collapse the embankment."

This point mentioned by Qiao Shanwei is only one of them, there are several others.

Follow the trend and plant trees densely along the river. The soil is condensed by the roots of the trees, and naturally it is not easy to be washed away.

Diversion of water for irrigation, construction of water storage Tianchi in some suitable locations, dry fields may be solved.

"The last point, and the most important point, is that we need the help of the head of the Chi family."

"How to say?"

"The Chi family has made its fortune by sea transportation, so river transportation is very similar. If Shuzhou and cities in all directions can be connected by rivers, it will not only speed up the connection between various places, but also allow commerce to drive surrounding development. If you want to make money, people will naturally participate, and only if people participate in this flood can waste be turned into treasure."

After he said everything in his mind, King Ding looked at him with admiration in his eyes.

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

A Yao did not see the wrong person! You are indeed good.

Xu Lin rarely heard King Ding praise people. He didn't expect that Miss Feng San, his cousin, could receive such praise, and he couldn't help but admire him.
