Chapter 133: Disaster Relief and Relief for the People Part I
In the main hall of the yamen of the governor's mansion, Xia looked at the "council hall" that had been cleaned up, and he asked Liu Baiyu to go to the governor's yamen to pass the word: "Tell those governors and political envoys to give them a cup of tea, if they do not appear in the yamen of the governor's mansion after a cup of tea, then I will lead the princess to Governor Chen's house to drink at night." ”
After Liu Baiyu heard the order, she turned around and went out to convey the order, because those governors and political envoys were treating their injuries in various medical halls, so Liu Baiyu had to look for them one by one, and after finding people, she passed Ling Xia's words to the other party word for word.
After about half a cup of tea, Liu Baiyu finally informed everyone, and when she rode back to the yamen of the governor's mansion, she found that Chen Fuchen and the governors and political envoys of several other provinces had all come to report, but the last two who had just received the notice had not yet arrived.
As soon as Liu Baiyu's thoughts turned here, there was a noise outside the door, and I saw four big men in strong suits, carrying a stretcher, on which lay He Zhiqing, the governor of Dingfu Province, although he was wrapped in bandages like a mummy at the moment, but his tone was very anxious.
"Have you arrived? Hurry, hurry, hurry, don't let the princess go crazy again. While speaking, the four strong men ran into the yard in a hurry, good guys, their speed was actually a few breaths worse than Liu Baiyu on horseback.
He Zhiqing's front foot just arrived, the back foot of the political envoy of Dingshi Province came, he broke his leg, so he let his subordinates carry it over, and saw that everyone arrived, only he came the slowest, the political envoy was nervous and scared, and he cried out in fright,
At this moment, Xia Ning'er sat in the main seat, Ling Xia stood beside him, Situ Chenfeng and Qu Qinshi on the left, Liu Baiyu, Yao Xinyao, and Li Jinxuan on the right.
Looking at Chen Fuchen and those governors and political envoys, Ling Xia was a little unbearable in his heart, it turned out that the twenty feudal officials in front of him were all beaten at the moment, and their faces were miserable, and some couldn't even speak.
Among these people, Chen Fuchen, Liu Xian, and Wang Jisheng's injuries were slightly better, originally Chen Fuchen didn't want to obey Xia Ning'er and Ling Xia's call, but when Ling Xia said that he would lead the princess to Chen Fuchen's house to drink if he didn't come, he trembled for a moment, and then the first to run to the yamen of the governor's mansion to report.
When everyone arrived, Ling Xia glanced at Xia Ning'er, and seeing that Xia Ning'er was unwilling to pay attention to Chen Fuchen and them, Ling Xia coughed lightly, and said in a solemn tone: "Lord Chen, tell your lordship, the princess called everyone over for disaster relief."
After the meeting is dismissed, you send people back to your respective jurisdictions and send all the general ledger details of the provinces, and you don't need to resist, because this is the rule.
Everyone is a person in the officialdom, so naturally we should know, but whenever there is an official handover, the accounts should be sealed in advance and handed over to the higher level for audit and verification; if there is no problem with the income and expenditure and reimbursement of the account, then the handover will be smooth, and if there is a problem with the account, then it must be strictly investigated and investigated.
At this time, the princess does not have time to review the ledger, but even so, you should hand it in, and when the princess has time in the future, she will watch it slowly, and then discuss the ledger.
After you go back, you immediately open a warehouse to release grain, the ten prefectures under your jurisdiction must carry out relief for the victims, and the resettlement points for the victims must be set up in the 100 counties, and the most basic requirement for disaster relief is that at least 100 relief points must be set up in the territory of each county government.
Each aid site can accommodate at least 5,000 victims, note that I mean "at least 5,000 people," and no one can discount me, in addition to the camp shelter from the cold, food, drinking water, medicine, cotton clothing, must also be supplied in time.
These are just the beginnings, they are part of the preliminary work of disaster relief, and after the victims have been properly settled, the next step is to bury and dispose of the bodies of the victims, and in order to avoid causing epidemics, all the bodies must be sparked.
I heard that in some provinces, there were already signs of a collective outbreak of the disease, and in order to prevent it from turning into a plague, medical clinics were immediately organized to treat the wounded, medicine was put into the well water or river drinking water, and free herbs were distributed to treat the disease.
After that, it's time to clean up the ruins, and when I came, I saw that all the affected provinces were still in ruins, and when I went back, you immediately arranged people to clean up the ruins, and the useful materials were left behind, and the garbage that was not there was disposed of.
At the same time, we must also find a way to restore the road open, whether it is to transport materials or clean up the rubble and garbage, which is inseparable from the road, so we must restore the road in the jurisdiction to the smooth, if there is not enough manpower, you can first rush to repair the official road, but at least the road must be opened.
The princess and I have thought of these points at present, if you want to add some, you can say it now, let's discuss it together, if you don't have anything to add, then go back to carry out the order, the princess will patrol and visit from time to time, I hope you take it seriously.
In addition, the most important point is that all the expenses in the disaster relief matters are borne by the yamen themselves, and they must not ask for any expenses from the victims. ”
"Hiss......"
After listening to Ling Xia's request, Chen Fuchen and the others all gasped, and after thinking for a moment, Chen Fuchen said boldly: "Don't worry, this ------ Weichen bluntly said, this project ------ well------ it's a bit ----- a little big."
According to the calculation of 100 relief points in each county, at least 10,000 relief points must be set up in the whole province, and if all of them are calculated, this is the resettlement amount of 50 million disaster victims, and if you count the cost of food, cotton clothing and medicine, each disaster victim will spend at least two copper coins per day.
Two copper coins for one person, 5,000 people are 100 million copper coins, converted into gold coins is 10,000, 10,000 gold coins per day, if you are resettled for three months, it will be the cost of nearly one million gold coins, and it is only the cost of temporary resettlement of disaster victims.
At present, the number of victims has reached 5 million, and the burial and disposal of those bodies also requires a large amount of expenses, if you include the rescue of the injured, cleaning up the rubble, road construction, later reconstruction, and epidemic prevention, these expenses add up to at least 10 million jade coins.
If you want to completely rebuild the disaster area and resettle all the victims, each province will have to spend at least 10 million jade coins, which is too much for the provincial governor and the political envoy to bear it. ”
"Yes, yes, yes! It's just too much! ”
"We really can't afford that much money!"
"Horses, we really can't bear it!"
After hearing this, Ling Xia's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "I can't bear it, I have to bear it, who made us the parents of the common people?" ”
