Chapter 266: The Great Storm (9) -- Condolences
Almost all the police and military personnel in the city of Mingjing, plus nearly 10,000 people, were mobilized to clean up the garbage in Republic Square in the shortest possible time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, the Hope Zone is in ruins. After all, the city has been completely destroyed, and it will take at least two or three years to rebuild. It will take another year or two to return to the prosperous scene before the flood.
Immediately afterwards, the hardest hit was the New South District. This is because the typhoon stayed in the Sinnang for the longest time, the wind speed was the largest, and the wind was the most violent. And the new South District is still under construction, and there are many construction sites. When the typhoon came, everything that should have been destroyed was destroyed. The flooding caused was not small, and many buildings were washed away.
If it weren't for the fact that the New South District was not as prosperous as the Hope District, the loss would not be much smaller than that of the Hope District.
As for the number of casualties, the New South District occupies the top spot. Seventy-four people were killed and 218 were injured, most of whom were killed by heavy objects due to the typhoon.
Linbei District was the third most severely affected. First, it is close to the inland, the terrain is high, and it is not easy to accumulate water. Second, it is not the direct landing place of Typhoon Chunxiao, although the rainfall is heavy, but the wind speed is not large. Third, the economy and population are not as good as the Hope Zone. Therefore, the extent of the damage is relatively small.
Then there is the Divine Blessing District, which is completely destroyed, but the site is too small and there is not much commercial activity. Therefore, even if it is reduced to ruins, the overall damage is not large.
However, it is somewhat funny that when the flood came, many believers and clergy guarded the temples and churches and did not want to leave. I thought that with my devotion and sincerity, I would move the gods and Buddhas and bless them with good health.
Unfortunately, they were swept away by the flood and their bones were not found. Perhaps, they responded to the call of the gods and went to heaven.
Anyway, whatever the outcome, they account for 20% of the casualties list.
Finally, there is the Haiphong District, which is similar to the Linbei District, with relatively high terrain and is not prone to water accumulation. And most of the administrative organs in the jurisdiction are used, and the building materials used are the top in the Ming Dynasty. As a result, few buildings were washed away. In addition, there is no commercial activity in the area, and the permanent population is very small, so there are no casualties.
When these data were announced, Daming announced again. All people who have obtained Daming nationality can report the property damage caused by the flood to the newly established 'flood relief team'. And according to the individual's wishes, apply for disaster compensation in accordance with the law.
Once verified, Daming will give a financial subsidy of 30% to 60% of the total amount. As for the houses damaged by the disaster, the Ming Society will rebuild them in a unified manner. It can be regarded as bearing the greatest loss of the people.
When many people received the news, they were moved to tears. Because since ancient times, every time there is a natural disaster, it is good for the official to be able to give porridge to drink. Where will bear the losses of natural disasters and compensate the people.
They cried so sadly before, and they also considered themselves unlucky, and they didn't expect the Ming official to help them rebuild their houses and compensate them. After all, what the Ming officials did in the flood disaster was seen by the people and warmed their hearts.
For example, when the flood first flooded the Hope Zone, a large number of policemen and soldiers risked their lives and waded into the water to save people. And overnight, the tents of the army were mobilized and distributed to them, the common people. There are also bedding, blankets, and mats.
In terms of food, Daming didn't let them worry about the victims. White flour steamed buns, rice, wowotou, canned food, biscuits, porridge, and instant noodles that can be soaked in hot water are eaten in turn. It's not a good meal, but at least it's guaranteed not to go hungry.
The high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty are also on the front line of disaster relief, facing difficulties and obstacles with them.
Yang Chong, the president of the Ming Dynasty, also brought his newlywed wife to visit them in the camp in person. And shook hands one by one, shhh And Yang Chong's tone of voice to them was very soft. The face is also very kind.
The president's newlywed wife is also very modest. Although she is pregnant, she is willing to follow the president around to comfort the victims. Don't look at her as Vietnamese, but that Da Ming official dialect is very smooth. Chatting with the women here and listening to them talk about the latest situation.
Before leaving, the people were in tears, and they were really moved to tears.
It's also a cruel and cool era! The ruling class is too cold and bloody! In the face of natural disasters, they always think only about their own losses, regardless of the lives and deaths of the victims. As for comforting the victims and relocating them, I have never thought about it.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty only learned a little from the practices of later generations, and easily captured the hearts of the people.
When many people knew that the president was coming, they didn't care about the pouring rain and surrounded the camp three layers inside and three layers outside, just to see the president's face with their own eyes.
When Yang Chong came out, he shouted 'Long live Daming'. The huge momentum made Yang Chong also sigh with emotion. He delivered a speech on flood relief in due course, and demonstrated his determination to be with the people at all times. It drew bursts of applause.
So long after he left, the victims were still standing in place, excitedly discussing the president's speech. Those victims who have been condoled are even more frowning and talking about the details of the president's condolences. Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, the vanity of those victims was even more satisfied. Speaking of which, it is becoming more and more vivid and interesting.
With such positive material, how could Daming's propaganda agency let it go? He did not hesitate to print and distribute Yang Chong's condolences to the victims. And invited many celebrities to make profound comments on Yang Chong's actions and speeches.
So a large number of gorgeous rhetoric was pasted on Yang Chong's body. After all, it's the president's sycophant, who dares not to be dissatisfied?
For a while, the newspaper was full of praise for Yang Chong. I want to praise him to heaven! Reports on disaster relief were squeezed out of sight.
When Yang Chong saw these reports, he was immediately shocked by his own list of titles. For example, the disciples of Jesus, the Son of the Virgin, the rebirth of the Buddha, the reincarnation of A-La, and a whole host of outrageous parables.
As a result, he had to interview Zuo Peng, the Minister of Education, and ask him to warn the Propaganda Department below. Convergence, realistic, no exaggeration, seeking truth from facts.
At this time, all kinds of propaganda agencies in the Ming Dynasty changed their tone and got close to reality. But soon, they turned their attention to the ministers, and they were portrayed one by one as the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, the fearless and loving Virgin.
As a result, the people of the Ming Dynasty have a multiplied favorability towards the government and government.
When it spread overseas, all the people who lived at the bottom of the society, or whose lives were unsatisfactory, all had a strong yearning for Daming. Some smashed pots and sold iron, and they also had to buy a ticket to Daming.
prompted a new round of immigration upsurge and a sudden outbreak.
Of course, the latest developments in the disaster have taken over the mainstream of various propaganda agencies. In the end, it was the president who made the speech, and he had to comply. This also avoids putting the cart before the horse, allowing the focus of public opinion in Daming to return to the disaster itself. (To be continued.) )
