Huo Rongsheng received Wang Mang's military order and hurriedly turned around and left. He is deeply aware that every minute and every second of his life is related to the lives of many people, and he cannot delay or carelessly.

He was afraid that delaying too long would cause more damage to the people, because on the front lines of disaster relief, there must be someone in charge of everything. If the supreme general is not there, the people below will not dare to act rashly.

For example, Huo Rongsheng himself, on the premise that he did not get Wang Mang's accurate military order, he did not dare to act rashly. Originally, with his prestige and military position, he could have mobilized the granary grain for disaster relief at any time. It's just that he took into account that Wang Mang seemed to have a big arrangement for those grains, so it was not good for him to move around without clear military orders.

Now that he has received Wang Mang's accurate answer, he already has a plan in his heart, and he is not afraid that he will lose a big one because of a small one.

Just when Huo Rongsheng turned around and was about to step out of the door of the conference hall, suddenly there was another urgent report from outside the door.

"Report...."The urgent report came very suddenly, startling Huo Rongsheng.

"Lord Qiqi, Zhang Sheng, the chief soldier of Dingxi Pass, has 100,000 urgent matters to see your lordship."

"Let him in." Wang Mang replied with a gloomy face, and then said to the rest of the generals: "Everyone, the real great changes in the world are coming, you must do your work well, and there can be no mistakes. Whatever we have just discussed, you must improve as soon as possible, without delay. Especially Zhang Gongqiong, you have a great responsibility, and you should be careful. ”

All the generals nodded yes, and they were all waiting for Zhang Sheng, the chief soldier of Dingxi Pass, to come in to report the situation, and wanted to know what happened in Dingxi Pass.

After a while, Zhang Sheng rushed in panting, and as soon as he saw Wang Mang, he exclaimed sadly: "Lord Qiqi Wang, something is wrong. Three days ago, the whole territory of Dingxiguan suddenly shook the mountains, as if the sky had collapsed and the earth cracked, and a huge earthquake occurred. Many civilians and soldiers did not have time to make any preparations, resulting in heavy losses and heavy casualties.

Now the entire Dingxi Pass is in ruins, and there is a serious shortage of rescue personnel. ”

Huo Rongsheng on the side said curiously: "Zhang Sheng, I passed through Dingxi Pass when I came, wasn't Dingxi Pass good at that time?" ”

Zhang Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Huo, not long after you stepped out of Dingxi Pass, there was a big earthquake in Dingxi Pass. The earthquake came without warning, and it was impossible to prevent it. ”

Wang Mang frowned and said, "Zhang Sheng, where is the epicenter of the earthquake?" Is the city lord Li Ming organizing people to rescue? What happened to our army granary? ”

Zhang Sheng cried: "The epicenter of the earthquake happened to be in the City Lord's Mansion of the main city of Dingxi Guan, and the city lord Li Ming, his family and many guards died in the earthquake, and the City Lord's Mansion was completely wiped out. If it hadn't been for the fact that the last general had left the main city that night, I am afraid that the last general would have died.

After the collapse of the City Lord's Mansion, the aftershocks continued to shake endlessly. In the following hours, an even greater earthquake erupted from other cities and spread throughout Dingxiguan.

Our army's granaries were also affected, and the site of the earthquake was very close to the location of the granaries. But fortunately, the soldiers guarding the granary were also on duty at night, and it was located in the plains, so after the earthquake, these soldiers urgently transported some of the grain to other places.

According to statistics, about half of the more than 1 million denier of grain stored in Dingxi Pass was flooded by the earthquake, and the soldiers guarding the grain were unable to transport all the grain. Also, due to the large-scale earthquake in Dingxiguan, those reservoirs burst their banks one after another, and the flood water went straight down, drowning countless crops and people.

At present, the situation in Dingxiguan is not optimistic, there are both earthquake disasters and flood disasters, and ..... I implore you to make a quick decision and allocate manpower and food to help. ”

Wang Mang said: "Natural disasters are ruthless, this matter is indeed careless. You pass on my words and allocate 500,000 denier of grain for disaster relief. When the relief food is distributed, it only needs to be distributed in the amount of two meals of porridge a day, and it is absolutely not allowed to be distributed too much. Even if the people complain, don't pay attention to it. My bottom line is to make sure they don't starve to death, and at the same time to eliminate waste completely.

Also, after the disaster, if some of the food that was flooded by the earthquake can be recovered, try to save it, and it doesn't matter if the food is mixed with soil, it is not that it cannot be eaten after treatment. Although I have stored a lot of food before, it is also very useful, and I cannot allocate much to you.

Huo Rongsheng, on that day, you led 200,000 troops to unify the entire territory of Gansu, and there were still 150,000 or 60,000 left in addition to the 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers killed in the battle.

I still have a lot of work to do, and I can't transfer them. In other words, the people in your hands are the ones who maintain the stability of our entire Gansu border, and the people and horses in my hands are the ones who maintain the outside world. I expect that there will be disasters in other parts of Gansu in the near future, and you need to allocate manpower well, and don't rush to allocate a large number of manpower just because a disaster suddenly occurs in a certain place. ”

"Yes, Brother Wang, I remember this." Huo Rongsheng nodded and left the hall with Zhang Sheng.

Wang Mang said to Zhang Gongqiong: "General Zhang, there has been a lot of food loss in Dingxi Pass, and you need to learn a lesson from this." Of course, natural disasters are uncontrollable, losses are inevitable, and I only hope that you can minimize the extent of losses. ”

"Generals, this is a time of frequent accidents, and you must be cautious and strictly vigilant against foreign invasions. If my expectations are correct, the Ji family sees that our side has been affected by the disaster and our strength has been damaged, and they may take advantage of the situation, and we must not be careless in this matter.

While providing disaster relief, we must be vigilant against the enemy from all sides. And in doing these things, you must be prepared to respond to emergencies at any time. Dingxiguan and Longnan counties suffered considerable losses due to the devastating earthquake, and we must learn a lesson from this.

Now you are hurrying back to your respective territories and making strict preparations for prevention and control. It is necessary to ensure that there are various measures in place to deal with natural disasters. At the same time, if there is a natural disaster in the territory and city under the control of one of you, you can go to the granary to dispatch food for disaster relief. The amount of food for disaster relief can only be less than 500,000 denier per prefecture and county, and it must not exceed this amount.

You have also heard clearly what I said to Huo Rongsheng and Zhang Sheng just now about the disaster relief food arrangements, my bottom line is only to ensure that the affected people will not starve to death, and I have no extra food to ensure that they can eat three meals a day. The grain is such an arrangement, and so is Lang Zhong and the herbs, and no one can cross it. ”

When everyone heard these arrangements, they all nodded yes.

Chen Chong's heart moved, and a guess instantly came to his mind.

After his guess appeared, he looked at Wang Mang for a long time with a strange look on his face, and he admired it in his heart.
