After there was no opposition among the ministers, Zhou Ming immediately set up an emergency disaster relief team.

He himself served as the leader of the group and was responsible for the full command.

Gilut served as the deputy team leader, responsible for coordinating and cooperating to collect information on the disaster area.

As for the main force of disaster relief, 50,000 people were drawn from the 200,000 Praetorian Guards stationed in the imperial capital and devoted to disaster relief.

In fact, when Zhou Ming proposed to involve the military in the disaster relief operation, both the military top brass and the soldiers selected to participate in the disaster relief were not highly motivated, very resistant to the task, and even complained again and again.

Zhou Ming had to do some ideological work for them.

"As soldiers who protect the Empire, in times of war, you have the responsibility to defend your homeland, and on the battlefield, you will fight bloodily against the enemy, and even shed blood...... Each and every one of you is a hero of the Empire,"

"But in times of peace, you should also be heroes of the empire, and in the face of natural disasters that devastate the people, you should fulfill your responsibilities and understand your duty. ”

"Your duty is to defend the empire and protect the people of the empire!"

"In the face of war, and in the face of natural disasters, you should also be heroes in times of peace. ”

"This devastating flood in Andorhar County is a war against the gods of nature! I hope that each and every one of you will do your duty and fight with all your might!"

"In addition, I have also formulated reward regulations, in this war, who performs well, that unit rescues more people, that unit does its best, I will let the inspector record, and finally perform outstandingly, I will be like rewarding military exploits, adding officials, entering knights, rewards, and awards!"

As soon as these words came out, the 50,000 soldiers were suddenly shocked, and their morale immediately soared.

Exploits.

Where do you get your exploits in peacetime?

If you can get it from participating in this disaster relief, why don't you work hard?

The 50,000 soldiers instantly became easy to dispatch, and their motivation was greatly improved.

In this way, there are people with money and enough manpower, but there are still not enough relief materials.

The victims in the disaster area need at least 2 million stone of food, millions of pieces of clothing, and a large amount of wood to build simple houses...... Millions of people have to be fed, clothed, and provided with medical care.

And the food and health problems must be solved in the short term, at least first...... After all, the victims of the disaster, who have little food in their hands, can survive for 5 to 10 days at most by various means.

In addition, the imperial capital is 200 miles away from the disaster area, which is not a long journey, but it will take at least a day to walk.

So how to help the disaster, as much as possible, to save the victims in the disaster area.

After about two hours of discussion, Zhou Ming worked out a five-step plan.

Step 1: Open the road.

From all directions, we will quickly open up about four roads leading to the disaster area, so that there is a "disaster relief road" in the southeast, northwest and northwest, of which the eastern road is the main one.

Step 2: Evacuate the victims and deliver food at the same time.

Evacuate the victims from the disaster area, guide them to the designated relief site, and take some self-help measures, such as cutting down trees, building houses, etc., to improve the facilities of the relief site.

On the other hand, food is transported simultaneously, from the imperial capital or surrounding counties to the disaster relief point to solve the most urgent hunger problem...... Since the disaster relief point is located in the middle of the disaster area and the surrounding counties of the imperial capital, it can save a certain amount of time for transporting grain.

Step 3: Provide medical care.

After the catastrophe, there is a pandemic, and it is necessary for medical teams to be stationed to treat the wounded while carrying out epidemic prevention and disinfection work, and even to carry out isolation and treatment for some diseases with high mortality rates to avoid greater losses.

Step 4: After the flood waters reced, guide the victims to carry out reconstruction work in the disaster area.

Step 5: Build and promote to control floods so that similar disasters do not happen again.

In addition to the above five-step plan, in order to improve the efficiency of disaster relief, Zhou Ming also invented three "artifacts" and formed a rapid reaction force.

The three artifacts are:

Four-wheeled carriage with large carrying capacity...... A total of 500 wagons were prepared, each of which could carry 8 stone of grain, and the speed would not be very slow, and 500 four-wheeled carriages, each batch of grain transported, was enough for 500,000 people to meet the food needs of a day.

Tweeter...... The importance of the tweeter is undeniable, and in this era, it can play the role of an artifact...... As for the principle of the invention of the tweeter, Zhou Ming will not introduce much, anyway, for him, the technical content of manufacturing the tweeter is not high.

Fly-Controlled Hot Air Balloon ...... Yes, Zhou Ming also invented the hot air balloon, the technical content of this thing is lower than that of the tweeter, because many materials are readily available, and there is no need to develop any batteries, but due to the influence of the air flow in the atmosphere, the flight of the hot air flow is generally uncontrollable, but Zhou Ming added a set of power devices to the hot air balloon for the cultivator to control, that is, as long as the "blue power" is input into the power device, the hot air balloon can fly in the desired direction - in the case of not very large wind speed.

Because of the installation of the power plant and the special requirements for the controller, Zhou Ming made a total of 10 hot air balloons.

Finally, there is the "rapid reaction force" that was urgently established, these people are all elite cultivator warlock troops selected from the army, and the average strength level has reached level 4 warlocks, this level of warlocks, using the "blue power", can already make some "short flight", "turn water into a wall, like walking on the ground", "harden sludge, turn into a wall of earth", basically no matter what the natural environment, can not restrict their free movement.

What's more worth mentioning is that in this rapid reaction force, there are also 3 noble magic network walkers, and none of them belong to the military, the reason why Zhou Ming was able to let them join the rapid reaction force is that Zhou Ming's determination to rescue the disaster moved them with good hearts and made them willing to accept the official drive.

In addition, in terms of food, clothing, medicine and other materials, Zhou Ming released the news that the scale of the "business zone" will be expanded from 100 acres to 300 acres (from the palace covering an area of 1,000 acres, 200 acres of land will be moved), and more businessmen will be invited to join the cooperation.

The previous merchants who were desperately hoarding Juqi and preparing to take advantage of the flood to make a fortune soon collapsed, and countless grains were sent to Zhou Ming, as for the price, it was lower than the usual market price, which was equivalent to selling at cost price.

In this way, in order to cope with the flood, Zhou Ming concentrated all the resources that could be concentrated.

Funding is relatively abundant.

There are enough manpower, too.

Supplies were supplied with the assistance of numerous merchants.

The disaster relief plan has also been well formulated and reasonable.

Plus the powerful support of three artifacts.

and the high-caliber warlocks of the Rapid Reaction Force, who participated in the disaster relief operation.

The nobles and ministers in the court also stood aside with their hands folded and watched, letting His Majesty the Emperor toss around, not helping out, nor stumbling behind their backs, but just in the mood of watching a good show, hoping that their young and simple emperors would pay some tuition fees, learn to retreat in the face of difficulties, and never do similar stupid and worthless things in the future.

However, 10 days later.

The vigorous relief operation lasted from high intensity to near the end.

800,000.

On this day, the court assembly.

Looking at the "Disaster Relief Report", this magnified and bold number placed in the most conspicuous position almost blinded the eyes of all the ministers in the court.

"At present, 800,000 victims have been successfully rescued, and the mood of the victims is stable, there are fewer diseases, and the supply of materials is sufficient, and one meal and two porridges can be ensured every day, which is ...... How is this possible?"

"According to my estimates, even if the imperial court does its best to provide relief at any cost, it is not bad to be able to rescue 300,000 of the millions of victims...... 800,000, how is that possible?"

"Yes, yes, impossible! I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

"This ...... This can't be so powerful, how can our Emperor Your Majesty be so powerful? He's only a teenager, so he can't be so powerful!"

"I'm really this report, I have to go to the disaster relief site to see it myself, I want to see it for myself!" said Prime Minister Benedict.

"Yes, we all have to see is believing!"

One by one, the ministers asked to go to the disaster relief site to investigate and count for themselves whether there were 800,000 victims!

For this request of the ministers, Zhou Ming of course agreed to them.
