174 Dian Wei
Through Liu Hong's inspection and condolences, the enthusiasm of the people in the disaster area has become even higher, and they have more actively participated in the ranks of rescue and self-rescue.
Although I had to stop at every place I visited, it took a lot of short time. But the distance between the two places was not very far, so Liu Hong didn't take a few days to come to Chenliu.
"In my day, it is worthy of being the most severely affected place, and there are almost no intact houses in the whole Chenliu." Although Liu Hong had been prepared, he was still stunned when he looked at this scene.
But fortunately, the people of Chen Liu basically have little money, and the houses they live in are all thatched houses, although the houses have collapsed, but not many people are trapped and injured.
In fact, it's not just Chen Liu, almost the entire Han is like this. The vast majority of people live in this kind of thatched hut, so looking at the area affected by the earthquake, it is quite large, but in fact, the real loss is not too much. At least, in Liu Hong's eyes, it is not much.
However, Liu Hong also knows that in his eyes, the insignificant loss may be all the wealth of an ordinary person. So he can't let his guard down on this disaster because the losses are not large.
It has been several days since the earthquake, and now the trapped people have long been rescued, and the injured have hardly been treated. At this point, it's almost time to think about rebuilding.
For post-disaster reconstruction, Liu Hong is also very worried. The area affected by this earthquake is so large that the imperial court cannot afford to pay for the construction of houses for the people to be like the capital. But if the court doesn't care and lets the people build their own houses, with what Liu Hong saw, few people have this ability.
"Do you also want to learn from future generations and mobilize the people to donate?"
Liu Hong does not reject letting people donate, even when he is still ****, he has this attitude. But now that he wants the people to donate, he is hesitant. Although Liu Hong also knows that the merit point system he engaged in and the royal charity association he made were actually in the nature of donations. But Liu Hong feels that there is a big difference between them.
Because whether it is a meritorious point or a royal charity association, it is all engaged in real charity. And solving all kinds of disasters should be the responsibility of the imperial court. The duty of the court, but reaching out to the people, this is to shirk responsibility. And what Liu Hong is most worried about is that if officials get used to reaching out to the people, it will not be easy to change. Like the government that served the people wholeheartedly in later generations, after reaching out to the people to get used to it, it was inevitable to forcibly collect donations, let alone a feudal court like him.
You know, there is no Internet now, even if there is a ******, it will not be possible to make trouble like in later generations. Therefore, it is simply impossible to rely on public opinion to stop this trend, just like later generations. Therefore, Liu Hong had to think carefully about the gains and losses of this matter.
"Donations can be done, but non-governmental organizations must be used, and the court will supervise at most, and he must not be allowed to interfere directly." After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Hong still couldn't believe the character of those officials. Even if the atmosphere of the Han Dynasty can be regarded as the crown of all dynasties, Liu Hong can't trust them, after all, wealth is moving!
Thinking of this, Liu Hong ordered that in order to help the victims rebuild after the disaster, encourage the people who can afford to donate. If people want to donate, they can donate directly to the Royal Charity Association, which will arrange it uniformly, or they can set up their own charity associations to help the victims in the disaster area.
In order to play a role in calling for help, Liu Hong donated 500,000 silver coins in public at the post-disaster reconstruction mobilization meeting the next day to support the people in the disaster area.
Liu Hong took the lead in donating, and Dahan immediately blew another wind of donations. Through the propaganda of the newspapers, people knew that in order to help the people, the emperor actually saved 50 silver coins for the relief of the victims, and the people all donated enthusiastically.
Money is easy to do, and a donation is remitted to the account of the Royal Charity Society through the bank. Then the disaster area was completely busy.
Now the four states are almost a big construction site, and almost everywhere is busy laying foundations to rebuild houses.
Liu Hong turned around on the streets of Chenliu, and saw that the people who were constantly busy were all happy, and they did not look like they had been affected by the disaster at all, Liu Hong was quite relieved. After all, this shows that he, as a leader, is relatively qualified.
At this point, his inspection was coming to an end, and he felt that he could now return to the palace with peace of mind. But just when Liu Hong wanted to leave, someone suddenly came to report that a young man had brought him a big tiger.
If the people sent something else, Liu Hong would at most accept the thing, give the people some rewards, and then send it away. But this time it was a big tiger, it was different, this kind of beast is generally difficult to fight, and it was a teenager, and Liu Hong's interest was raised.
Liu Hong came outside and saw a very burly young man, standing there with a very large tiger in front of him.
"What is your name, boy? Who hit this tiger? ”
The young man said angrily: "Your Majesty, my name is Dian Wei, and I beat this tiger." ”
"Oh, Dian Wei!" Hearing this name, Liu Hong was immediately excited. "I thought Dian Wei was still young, and I wanted to wait a few more years to find him, but I didn't expect this kid to be so old now."
"Dian Wei, how old are you, why did you send this tiger to me?"
"Your Majesty, I'm eleven years old. This tiger was supposed to be eaten by the people who helped build my house after I hit it. But my mother said, Your Majesty is the great benefactor of our family, this tiger is a rare thing, I want to give it to Your Majesty and repay Your Majesty's kindness. ”
After listening to Dian Wei's words, Liu Hong was very satisfied, the ancient working people were very simple, and they knew that they knew how to repay their kindness. However, Liu Hong was still very surprised, looking at Dian Wei's size, he was about the same height as an adult, but he didn't expect that he was only eleven years old now.
"Dian Wei is only eleven years old, can he accept him or not?" Liu Hong is very conflicted now, of course it is good to accept Dian Wei, but if it affects Dian Wei's learning art, it will be more than worth the loss. This is also the reason why Liu Hong knows so many famous historical generals and does not look for them.
At this moment, a strong wind blew, and the big flag in the courtyard was about to fall in the wind, and seven or eight soldiers went forward, but they were holding it hostage. Seeing this, Dian Wei stepped forward, pulled away the soldiers, and held the flagpole with one hand.
"Okay, what an ancient evil!" Looking at Dian Wei who was holding the flagpole in the wind and standing still, Liu Hong couldn't help but praise, and at this time, he also made up his mind that no matter what, he would also accept Dian Wei.
