Chapter IX Resettlement of Disaster Victims
"Let's go, let's go to the west gate together and bury the body of Kaizi's father." Gao Quan was surprised at first why this kid always looked at himself, but in a blink of an eye, he remembered what he promised others yesterday. promised to go and bury his father on the spot, then he couldn't break his promise, even if there were more things today, Gao Quan had to do it first.
Called Biaozi, Kaizi, and thirty guards, with shovels, reed mats and other tools, plus Tang Wenjuan and a few other women, out of the military compound, went to the west gate of the county seat, just arrived at the door, just in time for Shi Lei to lead people to the military headquarters to report work, just everyone went together.
A group of people walked on foot to the west gate, neither in a car nor on horseback. Halfway through, Gao Quan remembered something, raised his hand and called over two soldiers, and told them to go to the county town to find a coffin shop, buy a thin-skinned coffin and send it to the outside of the west gate. Since he is going to do a funeral, he has to look like one, so that people don't say that he is a dignified military commander, and he will use a reed mat for a funeral.
In this era, Tongbai County was not very big, although there were many people, the urban area was not large. From the county government compound in the center of the county to the west gate, I walked at the speed of walking for less than half an hour and walked out of the west gate of the county.
It's the same in the city, and it's the same outside the city. There are many shops in the city, fair trading, and commerce has taken off, and although the people in the county are not rich, they can be regarded as living a healthy life. But as soon as you get out of the West Gate, it's a different scene. On the way into the city, the crowds were basically people from other places who had fled for safety. Some of these people were in tattered clothes and unkempt, some were sitting on the floor, and some were busy setting up makeshift shacks.
Maybe it was because Commander Gao was going to enter the city yesterday, and County Magistrate Yin temporarily cleaned up the refugees outside the county seat, right? Anyway, Gao Quan didn't see these refugees when he entered the city yesterday, and today he was going out of the city to run errands, and the ban on these refugees was lifted, and this was the first time they met.
When the refugees saw Gao Quan and them coming out of the city, they left the road one after another and hid in the bushes and grass on both sides of the road, as if they had come out of the city not a group of soldiers, but a group of big tigers. From the frightened eyes of the victims, Gao Quan really felt the fear when people met fierce beasts, and it really didn't feel good for people to be stared at by such eyes.
After walking more than two miles along the road, he finally found the body of Kaizi's father behind a small dirt bag more than 100 meters away from the road. Needless to say, people are skinny and have been dying for a long time. The soldiers dug a pit in the same place, waited for the coffin to arrive, loaded the body inside, and began to bury it. Kaizi cried like a tearful man, crying and helping to fill in the soil. He buried the earth and piled up a grave, and erected a wooden board on it, and Biaozi carved words on the wooden board with a bayonet, and inserted it in front of the grave as a tombstone.
As for the official tombstone, Gao Quan said that he would give Kaizi a military salary every month, and when he saved enough money, he would rebuild the tombstone for his father. Including the money for the coffin he bought for his father, it is all considered Kaizi's borrowing of Gaoquan, and it will be repaid in the future.
Some people will say that Gao Quan is stingy, and he cares so much about a hard-working child. In fact, no, Gao Quan is not stingy, he just wants to use this method to put pressure on this child. There is pressure to be motivated. A fourteen or fifteen-year-old child who has lost all his relatives at once, and if he is not given a goal to strive for, he will not know the meaning of life.
Now Gao Quan's first life goal given to Yang Runkai is to repay the debt, to repay the money owed to Gao Quan as soon as possible, and at the same time to save money to repair his father's tombstone. Just saving enough money is enough for him to struggle for several years, and when Kaizi finishes these two things, it is estimated that he will be almost in his early twenties, and he will already be an adult at that time, and he will be able to have his own thoughts.
After handling this promised matter, Gao Quan immediately ordered after returning to the military headquarters to appoint Hong Yingying, the chief of the special services, to handle the resettlement of the disaster victims. Director Hong has the right to mobilize the 500 Army and all resources in Tongbai County, to set up resettlement sites for the victims as soon as possible, and to give these people something to do as soon as possible. People are the most secure only when they work, idle is troublesome, poor is troublesome, if these people are allowed to gather outside the county for a long time, Tongbai County will have frequent cases sooner or later!
As for the county magistrate Yin Zengzeng, since this person has never come to Gao Quan since he left, Gao Quan is too lazy to take care of him, anyway, without him, the county still operates, and the people in the county still live the same, with him, the disaster victims outside the city have not been improved, and the living standards of the people in the county have not been improved. It's up to him if County Governor Yin doesn't show up, it's better never to show up!
After receiving Gao Quan's appointment, Hong Yingying immediately took action, drawing people from the special task force and guard battalion to form an action team, and began to rescue and clean up the victims gathered inside and outside the county seat. Wealthy families in the county town have money to contribute and some people to fully support Director Hong's disaster relief and housing construction work. They can't support it, they can't do it, with Director Hong, a resolute military lady, in charge, plus a special agent head personally leading the team, as long as they don't want their family to be ruined, they have to support it.
Appointed by Director Hong and appointed by Commander Gao, Sun Yuanqing, head of the special service regiment, became the captain of the operation under Director Hong's account, and severely cracked down on the hooligans and gangsters in the city, as well as scoundrels, thefts and robberies and other lawbreakers and discipline outside the city who were mixed among the victims of the disaster. Tang Wenjuan is the general director of propaganda of the Disaster Resettlement Committee, Huiqin is the director of ambulance, and Wu Guangxing, the secretary general, is in charge of political propaganda.
As soon as this team is tied up, the entire Tongbai Mountain area is moving, there are porridge fields set up outside each city gate, and the open space outside the city is being opened everywhere. Houses were erected from the ground, and after the victims had drunk their fill of rice porridge, they joined the construction army with their families, and they were ready to move into the new houses. In the free time of labor, there are experts in various fields to teach breeding, weaving and other skills to support the family, and there are the means of production raised from the hands of the rich and handed over to the victims to move in and develop production, and a new Tongbai Special Economic Zone is about to appear out of thin air.
Hong Yingying led a group of people to be busy relocating the victims and building Tongbai, but Yin Zengzeng, the county magistrate of Tongbai who was deliberately forgotten and ignored by Gao Quan, did not stay away from Tongbai. He is the county magistrate of Tongbai appointed by the national government, although he was forcibly excluded from the county affairs by Gao Quan, the county magistrate Yin was not reconciled. How much energy and money did he spend in order to get the real position of county magistrate? Now that his long-cherished wish to be a capable official in governing the place and leaving a reputation for the ages has not been realized, and he has not made much money as a corrupt official, how can County Magistrate Yin leave automatically?
Gao Quan Hong Yingying built a lot of construction around the county to relieve the victims, in Yin Zeng's eyes, that is, the people and money; Raising money from the big households in the county is looting the people's fat and people's ointment! In the heart of County Magistrate Yin, he deeply believes that soldiers should go to the front line to fight, they will not govern the place at all, and they will only make trouble when they come! It will only harm the people! Since the 500 army is now large, and County Magistrate Yin can't fight Gao Quan for a while, then he has to find someone who is equal to Gao Quan's strength and can fight to come over and drive away this evil warlord and villain, so that he can regain control and return to the position of the prince of Tongbai County again.
