Chapter 15 Fire Aftermath Countermeasures

Shang Wuyi and the others stepped forward to put out the fire with a basin of water, and it was inconvenient to come forward to direct the fire-fighting team to carry water and save people in an orderly manner.

After a night of hard work, I don't know whether the fire was extinguished or burned to the end, and in the end, the fire was basically under control in the middle of the night, and only sporadic flames remained.

Fortunately, no one was killed in the fire, but more than a dozen houses were burned, and many people choked on the smoke and were burned. Shang Wuyi everyone saw that the fire had been extinguished, but the wailing was long, and they didn't need to think about it to know that these people's homes and things they relied on for their livelihood had been burned down, and how to survive in the future was a problem.

Shang Wu said to the head of the hundred households:

"You go and tell them that we will not care whether they live or die, but you first find a place for them to settle them down, give them food and shelter, and tell them later when the results come. There is also the fact that the arsonists must be arrested and dealt with severely. We'll go first, and I'll leave it to you. ”

"Don't worry, you won't let the head of the family down." The head of the hundred households responded.

So Shang Wu, Lu Lu, Wu Ya and Tian Luo rode back to their residences, and began to think about their countermeasures without sleeping.

"What can we do about it, their houses have been burned, their food has been gone, and their livelihoods have been burned down." Lu Lu said sadly.

"Yes, they'll starve to death if they go on like this, or we'll give them something to eat so they won't starve." Tian Luo thought that as long as there was something to eat, he would not go hungry.

"It's not that simple, if you give them food for no reason, other people will definitely be dissatisfied, it's okay if it's short, but if it's a long time, other people will have opinions, maybe someone deliberately set fire to their own house to seek these benefits." Wu Ya denied the idea of this snail.

"Then what should I do, I'm so worried, I can't think of how to help them, it's a big head." Lu Lu patted his head and said.

"Hey, businessman, do you have any opinions, a few of us are about to be worried, you can drink tea by yourself." Wu Ya found that Shang Wu didn't move, so she looked at Shang Wu, this guy was actually drinking tea quietly.

"Why don't you think about how to avoid another fire?" Shang Wu inspired them to look at the problem in a different way.

"It has nothing to do with helping these houses burn down." Tian Luo seemed to have found something and said it.

"Could it be that you still want to have such a fire a few more times, you better think about the problem according to my thinking, and think about how to avoid the house from burning again." Shang Wu continued to drink tea and said.

"Isn't there two aspects to avoiding fire, either to avoid the fire from touching the premises, or to keep the water sources close to each other. It is impossible to avoid contact with the fire source, as long as there are people who are active, it is possible to contact the fire source, not to mention the house, there will be a fire cooking in every meal, if you contact the water source, you can only prepare a large water tank, but the large water tank occupies a position, and it is obviously unrealistic for each family, and they can't afford it, which is a headache. Lu Lu said to himself.

"yes, it's not going to work, it's hard to think about it." The snail catered to.

"Well, the big water tank is very interesting, Wu Ya, you say." Shang Wu looked at Wu Ya and waited for Wu Ya to think.

"What does Shang Wu mean by this, a large water tank is filled with water to settle the lives of those suffering civilians, it is not to form a fire brigade and put a large water tank along the street to prevent fire." Wu Ya thought about the meaning of Shang Wu's words just now.

"Didn't you say that a big water tank was put at a distance along the street, and these suffering civilians were recruited to be a firefighting team, usually filling the big water tank, and fighting the fire if there was a fire, but although it solved the work and livelihood problems of these people, it would not work in the long run, we are now managing this tribe and consuming resources every day, and we don't want to collect any resources like Dayi merchants, so if we go on like this, we might as well not want this burden tribe." Wu Ya said uncertainly, looking at Shang Wu and waiting for Shang Wu to reveal the answer.

"It's still Wu Ya's quick response, that is, the idea of organizing a fire brigade, the current problems are all temporary, waiting for some workshops to be built, and there will be output. All we need to do is settle this tribe quickly and go out to the next stop to trade, not stay here for too long. After all, we came out with a mission, not such a small goal as this broken tribe, after all, the people of Dayi Shang are still waiting for us to bring back the materials and talents they urgently need. Shang Wu said as he pulled everyone back from the immediate problem of the aftermath of the fire back to the mission of the caravan.

"Yes, we've been out for a few days, and we've been in this tribe for some time, and the people of Dayi merchants are waiting for us to bring them things." Lu Lu remembered the expectant eyes of the Dayi merchants who saw off the passers-by on the day they left from Dayi.

"Yes, I promised my friends to bring a gift for each of them." Tian Luo also remembered his promise before leaving.

"Then do it, tomorrow we will start to burn the water tank, set up a firefighting team, and after the water tank is burned, we will burn some utensils used by civilians in exchange for some materials, so that our materials in this tribe can be balanced, and then produce some goods for our trade, so that we can not only manage the happiness of this tribe, but also use the output of this tribe to strengthen ourselves." Wu Ya thought that she was the main person of this caravan, and this tribe was just a fulcrum on the caravan's trade road, and since it was a fulcrum, the fulcrum should support the caravan's trade in the position of the fulcrum.

"Our Wu Ya Wu Zhu finally remembered that he was the main business of the caravan, not the manager of this temporary trade point, after the stability here, you will hand it over to others, there are still many major things in the caravan business that need you, by the way, in addition to the kiln, you can also produce some carpenter workshops to produce some required wooden furniture, provide farm tools to reclaim the world to collect land rent, provide fishing gear to collect aquatic products, there are many ways to make money, our Wu Ya Wu Zhu will definitely think of it." Shang Wu unfolded his thoughts and then praised Wu Ya by the way, so as not to make Wu Ya's hands restless at night and make him unable to sleep well at night.

"Yes, after being reminded by the businessmen, I finally realized that as long as they are willing to do things, can they still be hungry? At first, I was still having a headache and a big head, and I poured out all kinds of troubles, but according to what the merchant said, I wish there were as many people as possible, so that our caravan could have more goods to trade, so that we could exchange for more materials needed by Dayi merchants. Wu Ya thought about it, her brows furrowed, and then she thought that she would definitely be respected and prestige by everyone when she went back with the materials needed by the merchants of the Great Empire, and the best way for herself, the mistress of the road, would also be more enthusiastically embraced by everyone.
