The crowd fell silent again.

In fact, these workers also know that Zhao Dongting's words are reasonable.

It was useless for them to persecute the county order.

The county order is not a fairy, how can it be said that it can be saved all?

In the end, I was worried and anxious. It's just a matter of doing this.

At this time, they are really quite six gods and no masters.

At this time, Zhao Dongting's tone was softer, and said: "You should all believe in the county commander, no matter how many workers can be saved in the end, the officials, defenders and officials of the county will do their best." There is such a big landslide in the mine, the rescue work must not be completed in one day or two, you stay here, it is better to go home first to prepare, call on the villagers to come, help our defenders and soldiers to rescue, okay? ”

The crowd was talking again.

Then someone shouted: "This boy is right, there are too few soldiers in the defenders, we should go home quickly and call someone to help." ”

Amid the shouting, someone hurried away.

Some of them live in a mountain village not too far from here.

The scene is finally no longer so noisy.

The county magistrate gently wiped the sweat on his forehead and cast a grateful look at Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting also breathed a relaxed tone, and even whispered to the county order: "Now, let people go back to the city immediately, and mobilize all the people who can be mobilized in the city." In addition, invite all the Langzhong in the city and bring all the medicines. Grain and grass must also be transported, and all staff must be prepared to search and rescue here for a long time! No matter how many people can be saved in the end, the government will never give up easily! Grain and grass can be transported slowly, but now it is important to show this attitude. What I said, do you understand? ”

"Understood, understood!"

The county magistrate nodded hurriedly, and then ordered the director of the social security bureau next to him to go back to the city in person. Then I couldn't help but wonder in my heart.

Zhao Dongting is so quick and calm, which is far from comparable to him.

Which son-in-law can have such insight?

As long as the government does its best, even if the final search and rescue work is unsatisfactory, the people will not be too angry with the government.

Even so, it will not be able to recover the workers who were buried in the mountains, but it will prevent things from getting worse to some extent.

If the people really make a big fuss about this, the impact may be even more serious than this landslide.

"What a master!"

After thinking about it, the county commander hurriedly said to the master again: "Go into the city quickly and bring all the silver in the treasury." ”

He looked at the hill and said, "As soon as the remains of the workers are brought back from the mountain, they will immediately give their families pensions...... It is mainly paid in the name of burial expenses. Don't be stingy, even if all the silver in the treasury is used up, you must not let the people be dissatisfied with our government, you know? ”

The chief bookkeeper nodded heavily with a solemn face, and rushed to the city with a few people.

At this time, Jun Tianfang and the others had already arrived at the top of the mountain.

Then a master flew down the mountain with a man in his hand.

Not all of the thousands of workers were buried in the mine, and there were apparently quite a few survivors.

Even the slightest noise on their part caused a small landslide on the mountain again.

The crowd screamed.

Zhao Dongting couldn't help frowning again.

The occurrence of such a landslide in the mine seems to be an accident, but in fact it is due to many negligence in mining methods.

After all, this era is still far from being compared with later generations.

And even in later generations, don't there often be events like landslides?

If the mining methods are not improved, there will be no shortage of such things in the future.

Although this can't shake the Great Song Dynasty, it's not a good thing after all. It's hundreds or thousands of lives at every turn, how can people not feel distressed?

Zhao Dongting couldn't help but ponder deeply.

As the surviving workers were brought down the hill by a master, the crowd that had not left became noisy again.

Some wept with joy, while many more were even more worried.

Jun Tianfang and the others' faces were solemn.

After going down the mountain, Jun Tianfang walked to Zhao Dongting's side and said in a low voice: "Childe, the situation above is not optimistic......

Zhao Dongting looked at him.

Jun Tianfang said again: "There are many collapsed places, and there are many people...... They are all buried underneath, and they can't survive......"

Zhao Dongting sighed heavily, "It's as much as you can save......

Then he looked at the county order and said, "Let the defenders go and dredge the mountain road." But don't be impatient, and be safe. ”

"The subordinate obeys."

The county magistrate was already quite impressed with Zhao Dongting at this time, and hurriedly agreed, so he went down to make arrangements.

Hundreds of defenders requisitioned many hoes, baskets and other items on the spot, and headed for the mountain road.

All the people looked at them expectantly.

Now, they can also hope for these defenders.

There were also people who wanted to go up to help, but they were stopped by the officials.

The county commander said loudly: "Everyone has a heart to help, and the county is here to thank you." Only now that the situation on the mountain is undecided, you should not risk your lives to go up. ”

His words made many people look grateful.

Those who were even anxious and impulsive because of the worries in their hearts gradually lost their voices.

No one wants such a thing to happen. And now it seems that the government is indeed doing its best.

The soldiers have all risked their lives to go up the mountain to search and rescue, what else can they say?

Who wasn't raised by a father? Who is not flesh and blood?

Time passed slowly.

The defenders of the trails were already clearing the trails, but progress was extremely slow.

Zhao Dongting saw this scene and sighed lightly in his heart.

It is too difficult to carry out such a large rescue with manpower.

Although the soldiers of the defenders were all sweating profusely, how could they simply use hoes to dig up to the speed of those excavators in later generations?

If they really want to dredge the mountain road completely, I don't know when they will go.

Zhao Dongting no longer had much luck in his heart at this time, he knew that it was inevitable that many workers would be buried in the mountains forever this time.

Even when he first arrived here, Zhao Dongting already had this conclusion in his heart. Otherwise, the subsequent response will not be based on how to relieve the people.

At this time, those who can go to the mountains to save people are the ones who let these people go.

But after all, there are only dozens of them, no matter how powerful they are, how many people can they save?

For more than a few hours, there has not been much progress in the rescue work.

Jun Tianfang only saved more than a hundred surviving workers, and the vast majority of workers were still trapped on it.

Jun Tianfang and the others had already told Zhao Dongting about the above situation.

Many of the workers are no longer alive.

The director of the Cen Xi Social Security Bureau finally brought hundreds of soldiers over, as well as many officials.

I'm afraid that all the defenders in Cenxi County have been transferred.

After he led the crowd here, he was also busy joining the ranks of dredging mountain roads.

Only this process is also dangerous.

There were two landslides and even the loss of two non-commissioned officers.

After that, the chief bookkeeper also arrived with dozens of people, all of whom were petty officials, errand servants, and so on. There were more than ten carriages, each with several large wooden boxes tied to them.

And then there were many people.

These were all temporary calls from the chief bookkeeper and other officials, and most of them were coolies in the city. They helped bring the grain from the granary.

The crowd surged.

I don't know how many people in the entire Cenxi County are converging here.

At this time, the news of the coal mine collapse was obviously spreading.

And the coal mountain has finally stabilized.

After Zhao Dongting and others carefully observed, they saw that there was no sign of another collapse, so the officials asked the officials to let the people go up.

Some brave civilians joined the defenders with hoes and other items.

Although the manpower seems a little meager at this moment, the scene is quite moving.

The government and the people work together.

The county commander and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The county order was nothing to do, and he returned to Zhao Dongting's side sweatingly, and said to Zhao Dongting deeply: "Thank you, thank you, ...... official."

If it weren't for Zhao Dongting giving him ideas and helping him appease the people, I am afraid the scene would not be what it is now.

Zhao Dongting looked at him with a look of approval in his eyes.

This county magistrate is about forty years old, has a short beard, and looks polite, but he is also a little bold.

He had just taken the risk to personally command the soldiers on the mountain road to dredge the mountain road, and he was almost buried here twice, and Zhao Dongting saw these in his eyes.

This is a good officer.
