Chapter 473** is even worse than a natural disaster

Director Zhang soon saw the car of Su Aijun and his entourage, which were all imported off-road vehicles directly transported from Fengyuan, not only the car was wide and thick, full of horsepower, but also the chassis of the car was also high, and the general stagnant water did not reach the chassis at all. And after Su Aijun's explanation, he learned that the engine exhaust pipes of these four off-road vehicles were actually near the front of the car, higher than the roof, in this way, it was driven into the river, as long as the river did not overflow the roof, it was impossible to cause the engine to stall. In a place like Pengxu City, it is unlikely that they will be trapped in stagnant water under normal circumstances.

"This Lefu supermarket is really wealthy, and there are such good cars," Director Zhang couldn't help but secretly speak. Although he doesn't know the price of this car abroad, but think about how much an ordinary Japanese car costs in China, what grade it is, and then look at this car, I'm afraid it doesn't have six or seven hundred thousand yuan, don't even think about it

Su Aijun got into the first car with Director Zhang, and Lin Lian and Fang Mingyuan got into Chen Zhong's car. The six staff members of the flood control and disaster relief headquarters who came out with Director Zhang were divided into two cars in the back. The convoy slowly drove out of the courtyard gate of the flood control and disaster relief headquarters. The car and a minibus from the flood control and disaster relief headquarters had to follow behind the convoy.

The convoy didn't go far when a gust of wind swept by, and raindrops the size of soybeans fell from the sky, mixed with countless white crystals the size of broad beans, hitting the body and crackling.

"It's hailing," Lin Lian exclaimed in a low voice. I saw that at the front of the car, small white balls smashed on the body of the car and jumped high again. Looking out of the side window, the entire street is full of white crystals beating.

"Fortunately, hailstones of this size are not fatal enough to damage crops. Fang Mingyuan said softly, if there is another hailstorm and the crops near Pengxu City are not harvested, the life of the victims this year will be even more difficult.

The hail did not fall for long, a few minutes later, it was completely replaced by a line of heavy rain connected by heaven and earth, the sky became dark, Pengxu City at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, it was as if it was night, Fang Mingyuan looked out of the car, as far as the line of sight could see, but within a range of more than ten meters, the leading off-road vehicle had turned on the headlights.

"Alas, this is the house leak that happens to be rainy," Chen Zhong sighed lightly and said, such a heavy rain is tantamount to adding insult to injury for the flood control and disaster relief work in Pengxu City. Nearby rivers, large and small, must have skyrocketed.

"Here in the Huai River, it seems that in recent years, flood control and disaster relief work has been very frequent, small rains, heavy rains, and the residents living here are really pitiful. Lin Lian couldn't help but say softly. Living in Qinxi Province, her impression of the flood is only the flooding of Weishui. But the Weishui floods are far from being as large as the Huai River floods.

"Sister Lian, you are wrong about this, the Huai River Basin was not like this before the Southern Song Dynasty in history. At that time, it was the ruling center of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Kaifeng, the capital of Tokyo, was located in this area. At that time, Kaifeng was the political, economic, military, scientific and technological and cultural center of China, and it was also the most prosperous metropolis on Shijie at that time. At that time, the population of Kaifeng City alone reached more than 1.5 million, and the reason why the Huaihe River basin became what it is today was mainly because of the several diversions of the Yellow River in history. Fang Mingyuan sighed, "There are both natural disasters and **"

"Fang Shao, do you mean that Jiang Guangtou ordered the entrance of the garden?" asked Chen Zhong as he drove cautiously.

"Huayuankou burst the embankment? No, no, no, I don't mean this, but Du Chong ordered the opening of the embankment of the Yellow River in the late Northern Song Dynasty," Fang Mingyuan shook his head and said.

Du Chongqiren is still a very important figure in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, and he is a figure in the history of China who can become the prime minister in the two hostile countries. From this point of view, his personal ability can be described as very strong. But for the people of the Song Dynasty at that time, he was a sinner with blood on his hands.

Du Chong was originally a native of the Song Dynasty, and served as a left-behind guard in Cangzhou, a left-behind guard in Kaifeng, and a left-behind guard in Jiankang, and can be said to be an important minister of the Song Dynasty. But he didn't hold any of these three cities. Du Chong can be said to be a key figure in the transformation of the Song Dynasty's territory from the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty.

"History of the Song Dynasty" said that Du Chongqi "likes fame, is cruel and killing, and is short of strategy." When he left Cangzhou behind, there were many Han people in Cangzhou who fled from the sixteen states of Yanyun, and Du Chong thought that these people might be the internal response of the Jin soldiers, and they were all killed indiscriminately. After Ren stayed in Tokyo, he immediately suspended Zongze's deployment of the Northern Expedition. It also cut off the connection with the civil anti-Jin forces in the north and supported a number of prefectures and counties in Hedong and Hebei, including the Daimyo Mansion in Beijing, all of which were captured by the Jin army at this time. As a result, all the rebel armies in Hebei were suppressed by the Jin army, and more than one-third of the land occupied by the Jin State in the late Northern Song Dynasty was completely lost.

When Zong Ze was alive, the north of the Yellow River was an area where the Song and Jin were still fiercely contested, mainly because the local civil anti-Jin armed forces united with the remnants of the Song army to resist the Jin army, and the south of the Yellow River was basically the territory of the Song army, and more than a year after Zong Ze's death, when Du Chong surrendered in Jiankang, the south of the Yellow River, the Han River, and the north of the Yangtze River became the areas where the Song and Jin were still fiercely contested, and the south of the Yangtze River was the territory of the Song army.

At that time, the Jin army went south, Du Chong did not dare to confront the Jin army, abandoned Tokyo Kaifeng and fled, the only countermeasure was to order the dam of the Yellow River to be opened, and the flood to block the Jin army's footsteps southward. However, his rupture of the river did not have a great impact on the southward movement of the Jin army, but caused the Yellow River to be diverted through the Huai River into the Yellow Sea, and from then on, the Yellow River mainly entered the Huai River through Surabaya, or Bianshui or Whirlpool, or from Yingshui into Huai, or at the same time divided into several branches into the Huai, and then into the Yellow Sea, until 1855 when it was changed back to today's river. At that time, at least 200,000 people in present-day eastern China were drowned, and the deaths caused by displacement and plague were several times greater. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the most prosperous and prosperous Lianghuai region was destroyed, and nearly 10 million homeless people became refugees. The ancient Yellow River Road in Pengxu City has been left since that period.

The large amount of sediment swept by the Yellow River, the huge amount of sediment brought by its flooding has blocked many rivers on both sides of the Huai River, raised the riverbed of many rivers in the Huai River Basin, and the Huai River has since lost its original channel into the sea. After the Yellow River returned to its original course and entered the Bohai Sea, the situation here did not really improve. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, although it was planned to renovate the Huai River into the sea many times, due to various reasons, it was not completely solved after all.

"Natural disasters**, hehe, sometimes, ** are more terrible than natural disasters" Fang Mingyuan stared at the rain waterfall outside the window and said softly.

The heavy rain fell for an hour, the dark clouds in the sky were thinner, the sky also lit up, originally only 30 minutes by car, the group walked for nearly an hour and a half, before arriving at the South Railway Station of Pengxu City, and the small car and bus sent by the flood control and disaster relief headquarters had to retreat when crossing a railway bridge, because the water under the bridge was too deep.

When the group arrived at the South Station, although it was still raining, it was already much smaller. The water in the yard of the railway station is everywhere, and a stream has formed at the gate, but fortunately, the location of the warehouse is higher, but it is not flooded.

Accompanied by the staff of the railway station, the group entered the warehouse, and Director Zhang commanded his subordinates and the staff of the railway station to count the materials to facilitate the receipt and registration.

However, the staff of the flood control and disaster relief headquarters soon discovered that the materials stored in the warehouse did not seem to be worth more than 10 million.

"Professor Su, are there any of these materials that are not donations?" asked Director Zhang in surprise.

"Ah, all the materials here are donated by Carrefour Supermarket this time," Su Aijun said strangely, "What's wrong?"

"But the supplies here, according to the preliminary estimates of our staff, have exceeded 10 million yuan. Hearing Su Aijun say this, Director Zhang was even more confused, his subordinates had only counted almost one-third of the materials, and their value had exceeded 10 million yuan.

"Director Zhang, this may be the difference in the estimated value between the two of us. Lin Lian chuckled, "As you know, our Carrefour supermarket is a supermarket chain enterprise, which mainly conducts retail business for citizens. We all purchase these materials directly from the manufacturer in large quantities, and when calculating the value, it is also based on the cost of purchase and freight, not according to the retail price. Therefore, Director Zhang does not have to doubt that all the materials in this warehouse were donated by our Carrefour supermarket to the Pengxu City Flood Control and Disaster Relief Headquarters. ”

"Huh?" Director Zhang was stunned. It is not once or twice that he has received flood control and disaster relief materials from various places, but it is the first time that he has encountered a person like Carrefour supermarket to calculate the value of flood control and disaster relief materials. In the past, those corporate donations, how could the donated materials be accounted for according to the acquisition cost, and they could be discounted by 20% according to the market price, which was very good. Some even use the local prices in the affected areas to calculate the value of donated materials.

"Professor Su, Assistant Lin, this and this...... On behalf of the Pengxu City Flood Control and Disaster Relief Headquarters and those disaster victims, you guys are simply knowing what to do," Director Zhang said excitedly, shaking Su Aijun's hand. If calculated in this way, the real value of the flood control and disaster relief materials in this warehouse should be more than 30 million yuan, which can be described as a shot in the arm for the overstretched finances of the Pengxu City Flood Control and Disaster Relief Headquarters

"This donation amount can't be calculated in this way, and it must be changed when you go back," Director Zhang said, calling someone to report the good news to the flood control and disaster relief headquarters.
