In fact, all the nobles were involved in the disaster relief operation to a greater or lesser extent.

This is not because they are compassionate, but because the consequences of terrible natural disasters are even more terrible, with many places where people have become bandits and mobs who have robbed everything they see, and many who have escaped natural disasters have lost their lives in the conflict.

Even one of Viscount Brandon's estates was burned down by mobs, and two of his nephews were killed by mobs.

The patrol regiment was exhausted, and it is said that His Excellency the Governor seemed to have aged ten years overnight, and that His Excellency the Mayor of Poitou fell ill and almost died.

It was in this situation that Sean took office. It was a temporary position, and in normal times, it would have been seen as an insult to the nobility.

The aristocracy was not supposed to be responsible for administrative affairs, but to participate in balls, operas, hunting, outings, and other activities that reflected self-cultivation.

The number of victims was more than Shaun had expected, 25,000, but in the end it was much more than that.

On the day that Sean accepted his appointment and took office, he took his armed escort and the able-bodied men of Vichy Town, and walked out of Vichy Town, a distance of more than twenty kilometers to the western wall of Poitou, where he dispersed a dozen bandits with ill intentions, shot seventy robbers, and rescued several babies from the cauldrons of the victims.

The horrific state of affairs was appalling, and the only good news was that the Holy City had pardoned all taxes in Genoa for two years.

It took Sean three days just to get the victims to obey the command, another three days to keep them from defecating and bathing frequently, and at the cost of thirty unheard victims being shot on the spot.

The Cleveland butler commented, "This is the style of aristocracy." ”

If the aristocratic demeanor is to kill, then don't. In Sean's view, this is just a grim situation, and it is impossible to do anything, if decisive measures are not taken, those surging victims will swallow everything, including Sean himself.

Every day, he would have people bring food in front of the victims to reassure them, but it was always quietly transported out of the sea at night and back by land during the day.

The Governor's Mansion couldn't get much food in a short period of time, and as long as the current difficulties were over, the food from other places could arrive.

Fortunately, the priest of Sawyer's church, Shakley, donated a batch of food, and the Robinson family borrowed some food to relieve Sean's urgent need.

The church will always seize the opportunity to expand its influence.

These people can't be allowed to be idle, because if they are idle, something big will happen.

Some of the elderly were sent to the beach to act as temporary fishermen, begging for food from the sea. The children go up the hill to collect the goods, and the women do the logistics and washing work.

As for the able-bodied men, they were first asked to go up the mountain to cut down trees and build wooden houses, and then they were asked to clean up their barren mountains by means of a change of position, while the other part was in charge of water conservancy and road and bridge projects.

Sean had long been dissatisfied with the road leading from Vichy to Poitou, and he didn't know where all the road donations he had collected had been used.

Regardless of whether it is too far ahead, the main road is widened to four lanes, the country road is all two lanes, made of lime, clay and fine sand, tamped, the center of the road is slightly higher than the sides to reduce the possibility of water accumulation on rainy days, the roadside is built with stones, and the aqueduct is built, and beautiful flowers and trees are planted.

Along the foothills of Mount Rocky, taking advantage of the natural terrain, Sean planned several huge reservoirs. Such a huge project, Sean couldn't have imagined before, but this time there is plenty of free labor, and Sean is in charge.

Sean even built a deep-water wharf a little east of the town of Vichy, and was currently only planned to accommodate 10 medium-sized seagoing vessels at a time. If it weren't for the geographical limitations, Sean would have had a bigger appetite.

Those who do light physical work are sparse and dry every day, and those who do heavy physical work are "well-paid" - sometimes they can even get a palm-long grilled fish.

However, while the mood of the victims is becoming more and more stable, there is always murmur.

"My lord, there are people spreading the True God Religion among the victims. Nelson reported the new situation to Sean.

True God is an ancient religion, even older than God. And one of the chaotic parties, the True God Party, is also related to the True God Cult, which can be said to be a backdoor listing.

This religion is only one of many weak religions in Europa, and is not itself prohibited by law, and is a legitimate religion. In fact, there were many religions with primitive worship among the people of the Europa Empire, worshipping those mystical powers.

In the face of major disasters, human beings are small and will naturally turn to the gods for spiritual solace.

Don't talk about the Cult of the True God, then the priest Shacre also came here twice in three days.

"Who's in the lead?" asked Sean.

"LeBron Gable. Nelson replied.

This man, Sean, knew that because the villages where this man was the leader did the work quickly and well, they were rewarded with priority rations every time.

"Also, I've noticed that a few guys like to wander around the ranks of other villages, and they're acting suspiciously. Especially when they love to be near LeBron Gable's team. Nelson added.

"You mean these guys might be the secret police?" Sean was surprised.

"It's just possible. "Nelson couldn't be sure.

"If they don't identify themselves, then I can assume that they are just victims. And if the victims don't work well, they will either starve or get out. You tell Pierre what I think, but don't identify them, or Pierre will be scared. Sean said.

"Yes, sir. Nelson said.

"Also, you call this, um, LeBron Gable. ”

LeBron Gable, a 42-year-old man with strong and powerful skills, lost his home in a village next to Poitou in the earthquake and tsunami.

In front of Sean, he was a little restrained.

"LeBron, I'm happy with the work of the team you lead. Is the mood of the victims stable now?" Sean asked.

"My lord, everyone is not bad, but I am still very worried about the future, worried that your grain will not be able to eat next summer's harvest. Gable replied.

"Don't worry, I'll lend you a batch of food, but it will take time, after all, food won't fall from the sky. "If you agree, I can lend you enough food right now." ”

"Is this true?" Gable asked tentatively, incredulous, "and what kind of interest do you get?"

"No, I don't want interest, and I don't even have to pay back the grain I lent, but there is a project that you need to complete before the spring. Sean had an idea and had a new idea.

"My lord, what kind of project is it?"

"Do you see the Rocky Mountain? The town of Vichy and the Robinson family's Ronburg are both close to the sea, but because of this mountain, we can communicate with each other by rowing boats, which is very inconvenient. If a road were carved out of the cliff near the sea, it would greatly facilitate the travel between the two places, and the land route from Rohnburg and the province of Javia to the west would be greatly shortened, and the improvement of transportation and the increase of tourists would facilitate the commerce and economy of our area. ”

Gable looked embarrassed: "Sir, this is a huge project. ”

"No, no, I've looked there, and it's only necessary to carve out two lanes along the coastline, where the mountains are not solid, and I'll send someone else to use explosives, which would greatly reduce the amount of work. ”

"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with everyone and give you an answer. ”

"Then you have to hurry, because I'll negotiate with the other teams to see if they are willing to accept it. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Gable turned to leave, but Sean stopped him:

"My men have reported the presence of several suspicious people among the victims, who have heard that they are always hanging around your most capable team, which may hinder my engineering plans. I hope nothing bad happens, and if you notice anything suspicious, report it to me immediately. ”

Sean's reminder or warning made Gable's hair stand on end, and there were suspicious people around him?

Although the Cult of the True God has not been declared illegal, it has created some bad impressions on the official and the public because of the activities of the True God Party.

Sean took full advantage of the victims' desperate desire to go home, but they did not dare to leave Sean's relief, because there was no food in their hands, Sean took advantage of the presence of the secret police to beat Gable, and Gable accepted Sean's conditions early the next morning.

A team of three hundred people began a large project on the wall-hung road, which was far less easy than Sean had claimed, and Gable felt cheated.

When he came to his senses, it was already the spring of the following year, and some of the victims had already returned to their homes, but they were still working hard. The agreement was signed, and it was too late to say anything. The heavy work did not give him the energy to preach among the victims, and the only thing that satisfied him was that the food was excellent, and there was also a bounty to be paid, which was more than they could earn from farming.

At this time, the explosives were still black powder, and their power was limited, and the roaring explosion could not but attract the attention of the Robinson family.

Percy Robinson came to see Sean in person after a day of observation.

The Robinson family was also involved in the reconstruction, and Posey represented the Robinson family and even wore a similar title like Shaun.

But compared to Sean, his own management is too extensive.

The wooden houses or tents of the victims here are neatly built, there are special canteens, special toilets, and special service personnel, each performing their duties, there is no idler, and the patrol team composed of militia patrols day and night, in an orderly manner.

Posey even saw some civilian children learning to write.

It almost knocked Posey's jaw off.
