Chapter 1265 The whole country unites to tide over the difficulties
As the so-called southern ships and northern horses, compared with the northern cities, the southern urban transportation does not use horses much, and some cities in the south of the Yangtze River use more boats.
So the hygienic conditions are relatively better, because their urban traffic is mainly by boats, not by horses and cars, and there is no large amount of animal manure, and in addition, the sewage is sent down the ditches.
Before Datang rectified the appearance of cities across the country, on the whole, the city health in the south of the Yangtze River was the best, and the health of the northern cities was worse.
However, even if it is a better water town in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not much better if you look at it from the perspective of later generations.
Li Xuan, the son of heaven with the soul of modern people, has always been unbearable to the dirty and messy city, from the Xingquanfu period is to pay special attention to the problem of sanitation, and then unified the whole country, all cities in the country, are the city appearance of the problem as an important issue to grasp.
Local officials, especially the city management offices in charge of the city's appearance, are also particularly fond of this work, and the worse the local finances, the more they like it.
Why, there are fines......
In poor areas, local finances are already very poor, and sometimes even the salaries of officials cannot be paid, so they pay more attention to revenue generation.
So there will be a very interesting situation, some counties in remote areas, the buildings are very dilapidated, but the streets are very clean, and people travel in a regular manner.
There is no other reason, I am afraid of being punished!
If it is a person who has lived in the city for a long time, then they will know that the Tang Empire attaches great importance to the appearance and sanitation of the city, even to the point of harshness, not to mention open defecation, even if it is spitting, they will be caught and fined by the patrol police patrolling the streets.
Therefore, regardless of the quality of the people, but people who have lived in the city for a long time basically have the necessary hygiene quality.
But in the vast countryside, even if the empire has made local officials have been trying to improve sanitary conditions, but it is still very poor, this is not to say that they and Europeans, Indians like to defecate or anything, in fact, in today's rural areas, farm fertilizer is an extremely important strategic material, farmers are not willing to defecate and waste farm fertilizer.
However, this does not mean that they are highly hygienic!
They will use the toilet, but that doesn't mean they wash their hands after using the toilet......
In addition, some common sense of hygiene is also unknown, and even the situation of mixed living of humans and animals is widespread.
On a normal day, the population density in rural areas is very low, and there is no problem, but now the small places in the camps are crowded with thousands of people.
Even if a large number of soldiers are arranged to patrol the camp, the town officials and village officials who lead these villages are strictly in charge of sanitation issues, and a large number of public toilets have been prepared in advance, but the sanitation situation is still quite unoptimistic.
In order to control the health problem and avoid the widespread spread of the disease, the local officials have adopted very strict management measures.
In the camp, a reserve division of about 100 people was deployed, in addition to about 100 patrol officers, plus dozens of officers, to manage the camp.
After the people who were resettled were all living in their tents, officials from various towns and villages began to go door-to-door to inform them of some precautions, especially sanitation issues.
At the same time, it also allows families to register in time, so as not to miss the distribution of land and work.
The next day, in order to prevent the migrants from making trouble, the officials began to organize the migrants to carry out infrastructure projects, although the weather was gloomy and dreary, and it rained lightly from time to time, which was not suitable for large-scale infrastructure construction.
However, the situation is urgent, and there is not much to take care of.
Naturally, the construction of infrastructure is the construction of new cities!
However, this new city is not a traditional city, with a wall or something, but a typical residential and industrial area, and the residential area is naturally the house where these people live, after all, they can't live in tents all the time.
And the industrial area is where they will work in the future!
Not only the male labor force went into battle, but even ordinary healthy women and even the elderly were all on the battlefield together.
Although it is said that the male protagonist is outside the female protagonist, the male works to support the family, and the female husband and children, but in fact, this kind of thing generally only exists in the landlord gentry family.
Ordinary peasant families can't afford to play such a model!
Not only men have to go to the fields, but women too.
Not only do you need strong labor, but also the elderly and children!
The whole family goes into battle to farm, which is a normal phenomenon in rural society.
Even in the city, most of the ordinary women have to work to help the family, and those who can stay at home and raise their husbands and children are all women in decent families.
Therefore, under the leadership of Li Xuan, the Tang Dynasty has never shouted any slogans such as emancipating women and letting women work, because it was already like this!
Also liberate the hair!
No matter how liberated you are, do you still want high-ranking officials and nobles, and the ladies of decent gentry's families will not be able to show their heads?
Although it is very hard to build a new home, for the four or five thousand people in this resettlement site in Taoyuan County, their disaster has passed, and the flood has nothing to do with them.
However, on both sides of the Hongze Lake embankment and the lower and middle reaches of the Huai River, there are still many people fighting on the embankment in order to defend their homes.
Almost all of the young people in the affected areas were organized by the local government to build river embankments to resist flooding.
Even if this kind of conscription government is only responsible for food, and even in some places due to insufficient materials, even the villagers need to bring their own food, but the vast majority of the people are still willing to fight the flood.
Because they all know that they did not go up to defend the official lord, but to protect the embankment on their homeland.
Of course, no matter when and where, there will be some thorns, and they are unwilling to accept the conscription and evade, even if they are conscripted, they are cheating and cheating.
In this regard, the official will not be soft in the slightest!
As soon as the young strong force who evaded the conscription was caught, the end would not be very good, it would not be enough to kill or convict directly, but it would definitely be sent to the most dangerous and hardest place to work, and it would be your fate to survive.
In the face of the monstrous flood, the officials of the Tang Empire will not have too many scruples!
If there is a woman's kindness in his heart, most of Jiangbei Province and most of Fengyang Mansion will be destroyed at that time.
From the officials to the people, they are all fighting for this flood.
Li Xuan, the Son of Heaven, who is in Jinling City, is also very concerned about the flooding of the Yellow River-Huai River!
Almost every day, he receives reports of disasters from Henan, northern Anhui, Jiangbei, Shandong and other regions, some of which are good news of successful flooding, while others are reports of failure to resist flooding, resulting in flooding.
Although there has been no large-scale breach of the Yellow River as a whole, there are many cases of small bursts and flooding along the banks.
Henan reported that almost the entire state capital along the Yellow River has been affected, and some of the state capitals along the Yellow River's tributaries have also been affected.
In addition to the region, Henan alone, a large area has been affected by the disaster, and the preliminary statistics are at least nearly 1,000 dead and injured, and the number of people in the affected areas is as high as more than 300,000.
The situation in Shandong is better, with tens of thousands of people in the affected areas and dozens of dead and wounded.
The Jiangbei Province and the North Anhui Province, the situation is the most serious, the North Anhui Province is the middle and upper reaches of the Huai River basin, when the lower reaches of the Huai River can not be drained in time, a large amount of rain will form waterlogging, but the middle and upper reaches of the Huai River basin are generally affected.
Not to mention Gangbuk Province, most of the rainfall from this flood will eventually pass through the lower reaches of the Huai River and canals, putting great pressure on the embankments on both sides of the river.
In order to prevent the dam from bursting on a large scale due to the huge pressure on the embankment, Gangbuk Province even took the initiative to expand the Hongze Lake, voluntarily abandoning a large area to contain floodwaters.
Even if there is no large-scale levee breach, there are at least one million people affected by the disaster in North Anhui Province and Jiangbei Province combined, and more than 300,000 people have been evacuated in an emergency alone, of which at least 100,000 people are permanently transferred.
Li Xuan looked at the reports one by one, revealing a helpless expression!
Even if he prepared in advance, he mobilized almost half of the empire's forces, and even the army mobilized more than 200,000 to participate in the flood fight, but God was too ruthless.
Without giving any face, the power of the flood is already beyond what manpower can resist!
Li Xuan estimated that even if there was no large-scale flood this time, the number of people affected would probably reach more than two million, and as for the economic losses caused by the flood, it would be immeasurable.
I'm afraid that the five million taels of silver prepared before are not enough for the cost of flood relief and disaster relief, and I am afraid that it will start with 10 million taels!
Li Xuan thought of this, so he called the people from the Chaobao Division, and then gave them an instruction, asking them to focus on reporting on this flood relief!
Of course, the story needs to be focused!
It focuses on the efficient organization of the imperial government and the sacrificial spirit of the army and the people in fighting the flood.
Engage in a few prominent images of officials, soldiers, and ordinary people, focusing on describing their spirit of dedication and sacrifice for the court and the people, so as to call on the people of the whole country to unite and tide over the difficulties together.
In short, we must guide public opinion well, and don't make it like those traditional feudal dynasties, as soon as there is a natural disaster, we will say that the Son of Heaven is immoral, and careerists will come out and try to rebel
