Chapter 85 Dawangzhuang Disaster Relief
Dawangzhuang is on a plateau in the east of Guishan Town, and two miles east is Hongze Lake, and there is a river on the side that leads directly to the lake. Due to the slightly higher terrain and the proximity to large lakes, it is not greatly affected by flooding.
Early in the morning, Gu Haotian rushed to Dawangzhuang with Ji Sheng, Bian Xiang and others. The village is not big, there are only 100 households, a few people to the entrance of the village to inquire, and the heart is happy, it turns out that this Shangguanyi is the outside of the village, so if he is willing to help, it will be easier to act, so a few people can't wait to walk towards the village in the direction guided by the villagers.
Shangguanyi's home was at the east end of the village, and a few people walked through the village and saw the large mansion of extraordinary scale from a distance. Ji Sheng stepped forward to inquire, but the doorman said that the staff went out early in the morning to check the water situation, and everyone couldn't help but feel disappointed. At this time, a person who looked like a housekeeper came out, and he heard the name of the company, and said that he was a guest from afar, and he was busy leading everyone into the house to sit down and drink tea, saying that the person outside was just walking around, and he asked someone to look for it, and he would definitely come back later.
A few people had to sit patiently, drank two or three cups of tea, and when they were anxious, they heard a surprised voice outside the door.
"Where is Brother Mikatsu?" Then a man came in at the door.
Gu Haotian turned his head to look and saw that he was about thirty years old, about 1.75 meters tall, with wide shoulders and a round waist, a lofty spirit, and an extraordinary hero.
Yu Sheng had already greeted him at the door, and after the two of them hugged warmly, Ji Sheng turned around and introduced Gu Haotian and others to Shangguanyi.
"Gu Haotian! But Jingdong Dao's jade-faced Meng tastes a petty official? Shangguan Yi stared at Gu Haotian a few times, as if he didn't believe it.
"Could it be that my brother thought that there were others, last year I wanted to go to my brother, but I met a petty official in Yuncheng County, and now I am really happy, my brother might as well go to Liangshan to live a fairy life with me." Mikatsu said excitedly.
"I really didn't expect it to be a petty official who came in person, and it was rude to be there." Shangguan Yi was going to bow down.
Gu Haotian had already looked at Naken by him, and stepped forward to support him.
"In the next little name, it actually spread to Jianghuai, but it is really too much love from friends on the rivers and lakes."
"Petty officials are so young that they have done a lot of amazing things, but those of us who are a few years older are ashamed."
When Shangguan Yi heard some of Gu Haotian's deeds on the road, he originally had some doubts, but today he saw that his good brother revered him, and seeing that he himself was also extraordinary, most of the doubts in his heart were gone.
At that moment, Yu Sheng introduced Bian Xiang, Shi Qian and others again, and then sat down again as the guest of honor.
"Nowadays, the Huai River is flooding, the victims of the Jianghuai disaster are everywhere, the government gentry do not care whether they live or die, and a civil change is imminent.
Shangguan Yi also had doubts about Gu Haotian and them coming over at such a complicated time.
"We're here for the victims."
Gu Haotian did not hide the purpose, and made the plan of this trip clear, one is to do his best to relieve some victims, and the other is to recruit some manpower for Liangshan Manor.
"The petty officials are really noble, the Jianghuai disaster, the local parents and officials, the local gentry are strong, they are all afraid to avoid it, but you are thousands of miles away to transport grain to disaster relief, who can be so open-minded, even if the ancient Meng taste can be compared."
Shangguan Yi sighed with extraordinary emotion, and all the remaining doubts in his heart dissipated, no matter what he wanted to do after all, but for the victims, what he did was a real grace of life.
"I don't know where I can work effectively."
Shangguan Yi is a reasonable person, knowing that Gu Haotian came to find him at this time, he must be useful.
"If you are not satisfied with the staff, it is really inconvenient, so you have to ask the staff to help."
Gu Haotian talked about the difficulties such as grain storage, disaster grain distribution, and resettlement and transfer of disaster victims.
"These are very difficult things, just put them in Dawangzhuang, and I will immediately clean up the houses and build shacks." Shangguan is righteous and generous.
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and a stone in Gu Haotian's heart was finally put down, and then he took his leave, agreeing to transfer the fleet and personnel to Dawangzhuang in the afternoon.
Several people hurried back to Guishan Town, Gu Haotian convened a meeting again, and ordered Ruan Xiaowu, Yu Sheng, and Sun An to escort the convoy to Dawangzhuang immediately, carry the grain ashore, empty the ship and prepare to transport people; Du Qian and Gu Bai led the personnel of the logistics, commerce, and civil affairs departments to prepare disaster relief facilities in Dawangzhuang according to the original procedures stipulated in Liangshan; Shi Qian, Duan Jingzhu Belt Intelligence Department and a part of the pro-guard battalion were divided into several groups to go deep into various disaster victims to publicize the disaster relief matters in Dawangzhuang.
Then everyone started to move to Dawangzhuang, Gu Haotian hastily had lunch, and was about to leave, but he heard Duan Jingzhu say, two young people came to look for him in the morning, he suddenly remembered the two people he met in the hospital last night, and thought that the medical expenses were still insufficient, because the intelligence department still had to stay in Guishan Town, so he told Duan Jingzhu that if the two came again, let them go to Dawangzhuang to find him, and then also got up and went to Dawangzhuang.
Shangguanyi's work efficiency is also good, he has cleared out dozens of houses in the east of the village in one afternoon, but when he saw the thousands of stones of grain unloaded by dozens of boats, he was also shocked by Gu Haotian's generosity, and he hurriedly instructed the housekeeper to clean up the yard of the house and pile up the grain. Gu Haotian took out another 300 taels of silver to Shangguan Yi and asked him to rent some more houses for disaster relief, but Shangguan Yi couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it.
Due to the generous rent, the villagers actively cooperated, and more than 100 houses were cleared out at night. In his opinion, disaster relief is nothing more than a bowl of hot porridge, but there are links such as lime water disinfection, medical treatment, registration at the civil affairs office, etc., which completely subvert his concept of disaster relief. He thought to himself that even if the government was relieving the disaster, there would never be such means, and when he thought about it carefully, they were all tailor-made for the victims, and this little official was really different from the Liangshan Manor, and Shangguan Yi couldn't help but feel some curiosity and yearning in his heart.
As soon as the next day, more than 1,000 victims of the disaster in Guishan Town arrived in the first batch, and the disaster relief procedures in Liangshan were immediately launched in an orderly manner. After soup kitchen, cleaning and disinfection, identity registration, and sorting and resettlement, the logistics office and the civil affairs office immediately conducted interviews to inquire about the intention of moving to Liangshan Manor, and finally more than 600 people were willing to go, and Gu Haotian organized these people to board the ship and leave in the evening of the same day. Sensing that a large number of victims might come, he instructed Ruan Xiaowu, who led the escort, to bring a letter to Wen Huanzhang, first, to speed up the construction of resettlement houses on the mountain, and to prepare according to the number of 10,000 people; The second is to transfer Ma Xian, Zhou Yunqing, Li Kui, Geng Gong, and Xiao Rang to listen to it.
For the remaining 600 people, due to the fact that there were too many follow-up victims, Dawangzhuang really couldn't accept it, so Gu Haotian ordered each person to give 200 Wen to send them away after dawn. As a result of the statements of these people, the number of victims increased significantly on the third day, and Dawangzhuang sent two groups of more than 1,400 people in succession, escorted by Sun An and Gu Bo respectively.
Let's say that Shangguanyi has been in the village for the past two days, watching Liangshan's grain money go out like silver, not to mention those who are transferred to Liangshan, even those who don't want to go will also be given 200 Wen per person, although the number is not very large, but there are too many victims, and this is also a huge number. This is real benevolence and courage, Shangguan Yi admired the young Gu Haotian in his heart, and he felt that he had to do something.
"I still have some surplus grain in Zhuangzi, and if the petty officials use it, they can take it as much as they can."
At a resettlement site, Shangguan Yi found Gu Haotian and said what he meant.
"The staff has a heart, the food is not in short supply at present, but the ships transporting people are tight, and I don't know if there is a way outside the staff."
After more than ten days of Liangshan going to Guishan Town by water, and after sending off three groups of personnel, the remaining ships became nervous, and Gu Haotian was worried about it in the past two days.
"It's not very difficult, this is a water town, there are a lot of ships that usually do transportation, and now there is no business to do in the flood, there are just a few familiar ones, just go and say it."
"If this is the only good thing, I will ask Cooper to come with you, as long as the ship is of good quality, no matter the price, even if it is rented." Gu Haotian was overjoyed when he heard this, and then asked someone to find Gu Bai over.
The two were talking happily, but they heard a fierce noise in a resettlement house next to them, and several people hurriedly looked for the sound to go in, but saw a red-faced and yellow-bearded man grabbing a man in his thirties and beating him.
"No fighting is allowed in the resettlement area, don't you know, don't you stop." He shouted.
"Even if these pickled beasts are killed, it is also a disaster to stay." The man didn't stop talking.
Ji Sheng's heart was on fire, and he rushed into the middle to defeat the man.
"Hey, you have to protect that beast, and let me see what you can do."
The yellow-faced man was also furious when he saw that he was messing with him, and immediately attacked him.
"I'm afraid you won't make it." Victory will not show weakness.
So the two fought in the lobby, and they went back and forth for more than ten rounds in just a few breaths.
"If you have good skills, just use your skills and let me see."
Seeing that the other party was skilled, he suddenly became victorious and shouted excitedly.
"You're optimistic, I'm here."
The yellow-faced man didn't expect that there was his own opponent here, and he was also arrogant and tried his best.
After Gu Haotian entered the house, he listened to the yellow-faced man's scolding, and he had doubts in his heart, and later saw a pair of tired mother and daughter in the corner of the room, knowing that there must be a reason, he was going to stop the fight between the two, but when he saw that the yellow-faced man and the man were fighting without winning, he was also curious, so he asked Bian Xiang to look at the man in his thirties, and he concentrated on watching the competition between the two.
The two fought for more than 100 times in a row, and they didn't even know whether they won or lost, and they couldn't see that side was exhausted. Gu Haotian felt that there was no point in comparing any further, so he motioned for Bian Xiang to go and pull it away. A good Bian Xiang, I saw that when he saw that the two of them were old, he instantly inserted between the two, raised his arms, and shouted "open", and actually held the two of them with thousands of pounds of strength.
A fight, but it shows the ability of the three people, the people involved have their own feelings, but they look at Shangguan Yi on the side in shock, they thought that they were capable, but compared with these three people, there are many gaps, and they can't help but feel that Gu Haotian is hiding a dragon and a crouching tiger.
"This hero, please, in Xia Gu Haotian, I don't know why I don't follow the rules to fight here."
"You're the one here to help the disaster, but why are you protecting that faceless beast?" The yellow-faced man said angrily.
"You have not said that it is right and wrong, and you have told me how to distinguish between what is right and what is wrong."
“……”
The yellow-faced man thought about it too, and immediately choked.
