It's dark, the wind is howling!

The dense clouds in the sky, like a monstrous beast, tear the whole world with recklessness!

Standing in the office of the Overseer's Palace, Chen Jinji stared blankly at the scene outside the window, painfully at a loss.

The power of heaven and earth can not be stopped by manpower!

The wind is howling, circling, wind and rain are like a boiling pot, and the world is in torment!

The winds swept through the mountains, uprooting the trees and blowing away the roofs, turning the fields of crops into an unsightly bare...... This typhoon is judged to be at least 14 with modern technology!

Someone came into his office, and Chen Xinji turned his head to see that it was Chen Hebin, the financial officer.

Seeing his worried look, Chen Hebin comforted him and said, "Gong Chen, we have done what we should do and what we can do, don't worry too much, let's have a cup of tea!" ”

Chen Xinji nodded, beckoned him to sit down, and everyone drank tea together.

Yes, everything that can be done has been done.

The Southeast Prefecture has set up a meteorological observatory, which is a branch of the military's hydrogeological exploration brigade, and although it does not have advanced scientific equipment, it has relied on the accumulated data and experience to make a forecast three days in advance before the typhoon arrives.

The anti-typhoon plan was immediately activated, fishing boats entered the port, fishermen went ashore to take shelter from the typhoon, all units and towns made preparations for typhoon prevention, and all officials were dispatched to check the typhoon prevention situation.

Doors and windows were closed, warehouses were closed, people were moved from simple houses to safe places, and people in low-lying houses were also moved to schools, temples, and factories in a timely manner for proper arrangements.

I have to say that the buildings in the southeast province are good, and the newly built schools are all solid buildings, which can be used to temporarily resettle people.

Suspend work and classes everywhere, prepare water, food and fuel, and don't go out easily.

……

Officials at all levels are very proactive, because the assessment of the government in the southeast government is that "human life is greater than heaven", and if there is an unnatural death of the people under their rule, they will be blamed.

Compared with the government on the other side of the sea, there is more warmth!

Everything that could be done was done, and Chen Xinji and Chen Hebin drank tea with peace of mind.

Although the typhoon was fierce, when it finally crossed the border, and when the tail of the typhoon was still there, the officials immediately dispatched to check the damage, organize people to carry out rescue and disaster relief, and recover the property losses.

Crops and fruit trees are unlikely to be harvested this year, and rice, which is the main crop of the southeast province, has been wiped out, with rice lodging and sugar cane broken.

Levees burst, houses collapsed, ships sank...... The damage to property was severe.

However, the high-ranking officials of the Southeast Province were a little more relaxed.

In such a big natural disaster, less than 100 people died, half of which were fishermen who did not have time to come back, which is a miracle that thousands of people died in this kind of natural disaster that was encountered before!

Then the production self-help was launched, the land was cleared, the crops were actively replanted, and everything was in order and in order.

It seems to be a bland appearance.

……

At the turn of summer and autumn, the typhoon blew across Taiwan and hit Fujian Province.

This typhoon is so huge that the entire province of Fujian is affected by it.

Wind and rain, the typhoon swept through the villages and fields of the state and county, and everywhere it passed, it was full of devastation and wolves!

……

Fuzhou Governor Yamen, the governor of a province, Governor Zou Weilian frowned, looking at the post-disaster report.

You don't have to think about this year's agricultural harvest in the entire Fujian Province, this time everyone really wants to eat sweet potatoes! The rice was irretrievably blown by the typhoon, but the sweet potatoes in the ground could still be dug out and eaten.

Of course, the dignified governor does not need to eat sweet potatoes, but the question is what do the general public in Fujian Province eat?

Their houses were damaged, causing widespread collapse, severely damaging their property and failing to keep their food stockpiles.

It is conceivable that after the disaster, grain prices will rise in a straight line, and the serious problem is placed in front of Governor Zou, and the people must be fed!

Relying on the government for disaster relief?

It is a pity that the official warehouse of Fujian Province is empty, and it is not that Governor Zou is corrupt, but that he used the official warehouse to support other disaster-stricken areas in the country.

Entering the Xiaoice River period, the Ming Empire often suffered famines, and the whole country played a game of chess, and Governor Zou also expressed his views on the disaster areas outside the province.

Unexpectedly, such a big disaster could not be copeded with by the official warehouse.

A thought popped into his mind, and he immediately dispelled it.

In the past, when Fujian Province was affected by disasters, there was no need to worry about it, and the affected people could be sent to Taiwan.

In the past, the government was afraid of causing the siege of the city and the death of the displaced people, so it was resigned to the passage of the victims to Taiwan, but Governor Zou was not the previous Governor Xiong, he was upright, and knew the importance of the population.

Those corrupt officials and corrupt officials have been bribed by the Southeast Mansion, but Governor Zou doesn't do such a thing!

He discussed with his master, Mr. Zhong, how to deal with the current difficult situation, and the method was nothing more than to report to the imperial court, but Governor Zou did not have much expectation of how much disaster relief money he received from the imperial court.

It was planned to use the treasury silver to buy in the Lianghu area, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Liangguang and other places, and when it was still preparing, bad news came one after another, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Liangguang were also hit by typhoons, and the land was soaked in water.

Mr. Zhong came to see Governor Zou and told him: "Grain prices in Southeast Province will not rise after the disaster!" ”

Zou Weilian said in surprise; "How is this possible?"

He knew that in Fuzhou alone, the price of grain had changed three times a day after the disaster, and the price of grain had risen like a monkey climbing high.

"Does the governor know how much grain is stored in the two new granaries built in the southeast mansion at the beginning of the year?" Mr. Chung has a good relationship in Taiwan and knows a lot of information.

"How much?"

"Nearly 10 million stones, although it may not be collected, but the difference is not far away!" Mr. Zhong told Governor Zou.

Ten million stones!

Zou Weilian was taken aback when he heard this.

"Moreover, the land rent of the Southeast Mansion is only collected by 20%, and no more than a cent is collected, and the people have abundant grain storage, as far as I know, the Southeast Mansion has not even used the grain in the official warehouse! None of the grain in the official warehouse was released to the market. ”

The more there is no grain, the more everyone collects grain, and the price of grain soars, while the people in the southeast province have abundant grain stocks, and there are fleets to transport grain from foreign countries and other places, and everyone is too lazy to grab grain.

Why are you grabbing food, there are so many places at home?

Mr. Chung suggested: "You can ask Taiwan Wei for help, I believe they will support the disaster relief in this province!" ”

"Then you might as well give it a try!" Zou Weilian is not quite sure.

……

Mr. Zhong took Zou Weilian's handwritten letter across the sea to meet Chen Xinji, the two of them knew each other, in the past, when Governor Xiong was there, Mr. Zhong did many things on his behalf, and Chen Xinji was responsible for the reception, so everyone didn't need to be too polite.

Looking at Zou Weilian's letter, Governor Zou was very polite in the letter, saying that Fujian Province was affected by the disaster and hoped to be able to buy rice at a reasonable price for disaster relief, and asked Taiwan Wei to give strong support.

"Xiangzi is affected by the disaster, how can you sit idly by!" Chen Xinji immediately said that about 100,000 stone of the large amount of old rice stored was a gift, and the existing batch of 200,000 stone of dried sweet potatoes was also a gift, and then the rice was sold to Fujian Province at a reasonable price for disaster relief.

At the same time, a batch of medicinal herbs, bedding, household utensils, production tools and 2,000 tents were also sent.

When the news came out, immigrants from Fujian Province immediately organized to donate materials, and there were a large number of dried rice, noodles, and sweet potatoes.

So, Mr. Zhong returned with a full load, so that Zou Weilian understood that there was a family on both sides of the strait, and blood was thicker than water, so it was strange if he didn't take advantage of the fire to rob you.

Even if there is no disaster, he will beat you, no, the Daling River that the Houjin army is building will surround Zu Dashou!
