Chapter 64: How to Rescue Disasters
As soon as Zhang Xuan's complexion changed, he went out to call the police, but Jingzhao Mansion was in the outer city, Qin Tianjian was in the palace city, and horses were not allowed in the palace city, so Zhang Xuan ran to the inner city by running. He found an official eunuch in the inner city, borrowed a horse from the gatehouse with the sign of Qin Tianjian, and then rode to the outer city.
Who expected that Zhang Xuan rode a horse just after the East City, the hail smashed down on the head and face, the animal is the most sensitive to the weather, the horse was manic, he couldn't control it, so he had to get off the horse and find a safe place, tie the horse there, and continue to move towards the city.
Jingzhao Mansion is located in the middle of the outer city.
He went along the eaves, and where there were no eaves, he picked up a board he had picked up halfway and ran on his head. Although he was a Taoist priest, he didn't learn any martial arts like other senior brothers, let alone light body kung fu, and after a while, he was smashed all over his body and his body was embarrassed.
When he ran to Jingzhao Mansion, the messenger at the gate saw him rushing straight to the gate of Jingzhao Mansion with his hair scattered, and almost drove him out of the palace with a whistle stick.
Fortunately, he was on duty today, still wearing the official uniform of Qin Tianjian, and he also had the brand of Lingtailang on his body, so he was able to enter Jingzhao Mansion.
In Jingzhao Mansion, Fu Yin is not in the house, only two Shao Yin are there. Due to the sudden change in the weather, Si Gong, Si Cang, Si Hu and other subordinate officials came and went in a hurry, they received a report that there might be hail a few years ago, and they had already been prepared, just waiting for the order of the Shangguan, they had to lead the departments under their jurisdiction to respond to the rescue.
Because they were worried about the weather, they quickly noticed Zhang Xuan, who was soaking wet and obviously from outside. When asked, he was the same Daoist Zhang who predicted the weather this time, and hurriedly asked questions such as how long the hail would fall, the harm that hailstones of this size would bring, and so on.
Zhang Xuan was just here to explain the dangers of the hailstorm, and they were going in the same direction, so Zhang Xuan responded to the answers of the officials of Jingzhao Mansion and walked towards Shaoyin's class.
The two young Yin were also worried about the disaster situation in the Gyeonggi area, where could they sit in the house, and they had already stood under the eaves and began to discuss how to play the issue of requesting disaster relief.
"You have just arrived, and the two of us are about to convene you to discuss the hailstorm. Hey...... Who is this? ”
Zhang Xuan stepped forward and bowed. He is a seventh-rank petty official, and these two young Yin are of a higher grade than him, and they are all his superiors.
"I'm Zhang Xuan, the Lingtai Lang of Qin Tianjian Wuguan, and I originally came to warn. Unexpectedly, the hail fell halfway through, which was a step too late for the warning......"
The two young men had heard of his name, so they nodded and motioned for him to say more.
Zhang Xuan straightened up and continued: "There is usually heavy rain after hail, and sleet in the rain is the most hurtful. Hail smashed the roof, the people in the house will be frozen, typhoid fever will also spread, at this time in the middle of the year, the medical halls have closed, and I hope that Jingzhao Fu will send someone to notify the major medical centers in the capital to open early, treat the injured......"
"I have been running around the city for the past few days, and the houses in the east and inner cities are solid, and although the hail is menacing, it will not cause much harm to the people in the east and inner cities. It's just that the structure of the houses in Xicheng is not strong, there are many shantytowns, strong winds mixed with hail, I am afraid that many houses will be damaged, if you can't avoid it, the houses will collapse, the animals will die and people will be injured, and it may be buried by the collapsed houses......"
He was talking about exactly what the Shito in the Kyosho Mansion was worried about. He is in charge of household registration inside and outside the capital, and he knows the situation in Xicheng. There are a lot of displaced people in Xicheng, and they run when they check Dinghu, and then come back after the rumors, because they have no fixed place to live, and they are afraid that these people are the first to be unlucky.
Zhang Xuan saw that Sihu reported to Shaoyin, and had already greeted several big households in Xicheng in advance when he was on the list, and if there was a hailstorm, he would open the door to accept people, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It's just that it's easy to open the door and accept people, but it's a problem for so many people to eat and drink. Displaced people are prone to chaos, and once they have no food or clothing, they will take risks. Even if these big families want to do good, they must also think about their own safety.
Zhang Xuan was just a petty official in charge of astronomy and astronomy in the Qin Heavenly Prison, and he could only give advice on the weather and the degree of harm, but he couldn't really decide anything. Seeing the fierce discussion of several officials, he couldn't help but feel anxious and said, "Can you press these things down first, and let the officials go to Xicheng to see the situation first?" There is also the matter of finding a doctor to open the museum first to save people......"
The two young Yin looked at each other, and the messengers on the side were nervous when they listened.
Now the hail is so big, and it is mixed with thunder and lightning, God doesn't have eyes, and if you go out, you may die. If they go out to rescue after the hail, they naturally have nothing to say, but now it is hailing and there are thunderstorms, they pity others, and if there is a case, who will pity their wives and children?
"Look, how long will it take for this hailstorm?" Si Gong saw that Shangguan looked embarrassed, so he excused himself: "If it is not for a long time, you can wait for the hailstorm to end before the rescue." We have never experienced such a disaster before, and the officials have no experience, and now we are afraid that it will not work, and we will have to give a few more lives. ”
When Zhang Xuan heard this, he was not going to send a messenger out of Lu at this time, but to wait for the hailstorm to pass before arranging the resettlement of the victims, and his face showed a sad expression.
"The hailstorm lasted as little as half an hour or as long as an hour, and the torrential rain and strong winds after the hail lasted for a long time. At this time, if you don't properly resettle the victims, you are afraid that the wind and cold will kill you! ”
"But ......"
"Do as he says! All the squads and servants gave me to inspect the cities. Sihu sent someone to the hospital to find a doctor, and took him to Xicheng to save people first. "Jingzhao Mansion Yin and Zhang Xuan walked in with their hair disheveled and soaked." I rushed from the inner city, and countless pedestrians were smashed and seriously injured, not to mention the western city! ”
"My lord, there is hail outside, and it is not easy to rescue, besides, there has been a ...... before"
"I didn't expect the hail to be that big." Jingzhao Mansion Yin took off his wet clothes, "Let the messengers be careful themselves, and if you encounter an injured person on the road, you will be sent directly to the nearest person for resettlement first." If the disaster relief is meritorious this time, the official will ask for a reward, and everyone will benefit. But if the disaster relief is not effective, something goes wrong in the capital, don't expect the Holy Lord to open the net......"
As soon as Yin of Jingzhao Mansion said this, Zhang Xuan was overjoyed and bowed his head. He came here because he was worried that the various ministries would pass the buck to each other and the rescue would not be effective, and there were many officials in Jingzhao Mansion, and he was familiar with the affairs inside and outside the capital, so he was the most suitable for rescue.
When he had predicted ground movement in a county, he had already seen the consequences of officials delaying the disaster after endless discussions.
Fortunately, the governor of this Jingzhao Mansion is dedicated to the people and decisive, which is really a blessing for the people of the capital!
It is said that the officials of Jingzhao Mansion were under the command of Shangguan according to the heads of various departments, and they went out to investigate the disaster one after another, Gu Qing looked at the weather outside at home, and he was also worried.
Heavy snow in the north, countless people were affected, the road was not passable before, and the New Year passed, the emperor ordered to clear the road, and sent officials to directly open a warehouse in the local disaster relief, so that there was no influx of people in the capital.
But now the wind is mixed with hail, and in an instant there is a torrential rain, and the harm is no less than that of snow.
She wanted to wait for the hail to pass and send her family out with clothes and food to save people, but she was afraid that as written in many novels, the emperor was taboo for the powerful to show favor to the people, and caused trouble to the Guogong Mansion.
She had the heart to find someone to ask, but she was surrounded by a girl, and she couldn't ask what was the reason for this kind of thing, and she was thinking about whether to simply relax and wait for the emperor to deal with it.
When Gu Qing heard Li Rui's voices talking outside the house in the house, he thought that he had an auditory hallucination.
With such a strong wind and hail, a few of them don't stay in Qingcang Courtyard, what are they doing here?
"The grandchildren have just finished welcoming the god of the stove, and they are worried that their grandmother can't sit still in the house, so they came to have a look." Li Rui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Zhiyun Courtyard was safe and orderly.
Li Ming had never seen hail, and felt that it was fresh, so he stood at the door and looked out, and the people were worried about it, and his body blocked the little master, for fear that he would be injured by the hail.
Li Jun experienced a hail in his hometown, and knew the harm of the hail, so his face was gloomy, and after entering the house, he stood on the side after saluting, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking.
"Our garden was only reinforced a while ago, and the yards of several masters were inspected and inspected, and if our houses were smashed, then other people's homes would not be over." Gu Qing listened to the sound of "popping" from the roof, and the uneasiness in his heart became even heavier. "When you come, the ground is slippery?"
"I came through the verandah, and there were a lot of frost knots on the ground from the hailstones, and I don't know if it was slippery or not. I guess it would be inconvenient for people to walk on it. The Li Rui brothers did not pass through the outside, but came along the verandah connecting the front yard to the back yard, and there were many subordinates around them to escort them, and they did not suffer a little offend. I didn't have any other feelings other than feeling that the hail was so strong and the wind was too violent.
"The hail is so fierce, and the wind is so strong, I think there are many people's houses that are going to fall." Gu Qing sighed, "If the ground is slippery, in addition to those who were injured by hail, it is estimated that many people will be injured." ”
"This is also a helpless thing, natural disasters are not something that can be stopped by manpower." Li Rui saw that Gu Qing wanted to speak and stopped, and asked strangely, "Does grandma want to tell her grandchildren something?" ”
Gu Qing glanced at Li Rui, and finally asked what he thought in his heart.
"The disaster suffered during the Chinese New Year, I am afraid that many people have a bad year. It's a strong wind and hail, the poor have nowhere to hide, and after a night, I'm afraid that someone will freeze to death......" Gu Qing was worried, and his tone couldn't help but be heavy. "I want to do something, but I don't know what I can do, but I can't do it."
"Grandma wants to give clothes and medicine?" As soon as Li Rui heard it, he knew what Gu Qing wanted to do. "It's a good thing, so why not do it?"
As soon as Gu Qing and Li Rui said this, Li Jun was no longer distracted, and hurriedly nodded and said, "This matter is very good!" Doable! Doable! ”
"I wonder if there is a precedent before? If my house comes out and sets up a porridge shack in the city, and builds a few more rooms to accommodate the victims, will it be taboo above? There are also clothes and medicines, are there so many cotton clothes and medicines in the house? Gu Qing asked several questions in a row.
She slapped her head and figured out that it was easy to do good deeds, but everyone had to do everything, and she had no experience in how to do it.
Let's just say that this housekeeper, she is in a mess, and she can't wait for Mama Hua to come back quickly. Grandma Sun uses a few people by herself, and even Siyun around her is about to run errands. If she really wants to provide disaster relief, she doesn't know how many things she can't think of.
"This matter is not taboo, the Holy Majesty has issued a decree to advocate the people to 'help each other' in times of disaster, and some of those who have done well will be commended. As long as we don't go too far in our house, good deeds will never turn into bad deeds. ”
"When it comes to setting up a porridge factory, it is easy to set up a porridge factory, and there is a lot of grain in the house. It's just a matter of where to set it up, how long it will be set up, how it will be distributed, and which families will be sent to maintain order in the porridge factory and prevent the victims from looting. ”
"And then there's Shi Yi. We don't have so many winter clothes in our house, so we went to buy them temporarily, and now there is no store for them, so there is nowhere to buy them even if they want to. Li Rui saw that his grandmother was serious, so he analyzed it to his grandmother one by one.
These things will be decreed to be done in less than a day. Therefore, not only the government will think about these issues, but even the saints will really want to provide disaster relief, and they will also consider these things.
Gu Qing has also seen disasters such as earthquakes and floods in modern times, and at that time, one party was in trouble and all parties supported from all sides, and material resources from all over the country were continuously sent to the disaster area. She only donated money and materials, and never organized rescue, and now when she heard Li Rui's question, her head was swollen.
She felt that Mrs. Qiu was rich and could solve many things with money, but she didn't expect that there were very few ready-to-buy clothes in this ancient world, and most of them were made. If you want to give clothes, where can you buy so many clothes? It is easy to open the porridge shed, but after it is opened, how many people will be there to take care of things such as boiling porridge, distributing porridge, and maintaining order, and it is possible to maintain the food storage at home?
"If it's winter clothes, you can let the family take out what you don't want first, and then the government will subsidize a little." Li Ming said whimsically, "A few of my girls said a few days ago that the cotton clothes were old, and it was a pity to throw them away, and they were embarrassing to wear......"
"If that's the case, I can contact those friends of the Guozijian about the porridge factory, they also have many family members at home, and if we can't do it together, grandma won't have to worry about the problem of too much limelight in the house." Li Rui saw his grandmother's sad face, and he really didn't want her to be tired, so he hurriedly took care of the matter.
"It's just that I don't think it's necessary to give away medicine, and we don't have so many medicines at home. If there are too many injured people, the Holy Lord will order the medical center to open as soon as possible, and we can fund some medical centers for free treatment. ”
Gu Qing listened to the children express their opinions, and suddenly felt that if they really wanted to do good deeds, no matter how troublesome it was, it would not be so difficult.
She was proud in her heart, and she had also considered whether it was worth it for the sake of a few children who stayed in ancient times. It can be seen that Li Rui, Li Ming and Li Jun are all kind-hearted and willing to do good deeds and accumulate virtues.
Although she is dressed as an old woman in a deep house, she can do very little, but she has these children, but she can also do many things she wants to do.
Thinking of this, Gu Qing decided not to look forward to the future, and to do one thing that many predecessors who had crossed over had done, that is:
- Disaster relief.
"This is a good deed, grandmother wants to do. It's just that if we need disaster relief in the capital, and how to save it, my grandmother is in the inner house, and I really don't know. Grandmother decided to entrust a few of you with this. ”
"Although you are young, after all, you take advantage of the Xinguo Mansion. What you have to do, grandmother asks for money, you have to give people, you just have to let it go. ”
The more Gu Qing thought about it, the more she felt that there were many benefits to this matter, which not only exercised the child, but also allowed her to do good, and also allowed her not to participate in everything. Since Li Rui said that he wanted to unite with other people, he would definitely have to run, and the risks and benefits of this matter would be shared, which would make the government have a lot less trouble.
"It's just one thing, before you do anything, you all give me a good job, and what you want to do, you also mention it separately, and we will discuss it in detail here. It's best not to make any mistakes. It is also an opportunity to train you, and if done well, it will be of great benefit to you. Gu Qing looked at the strange faces of several children and tilted his head.
"What's wrong?"
"Shall we do it?" Li Rui and Li Ming's eyes widened.
"Yes. You do. Gu Qing nodded.
