(Thank you for the monthly pass before dawn, under the imperial sunset, 680208, and thank you to srqg, 145k and other authors for great rewards, thank you.) ）

The situation in front of him made Su Tiancheng feel sad.

As for the quality of these sheds, there is no need to describe, most of them are built with tree trunks and branches, covered with some thatch, and there are people living inside.

The Yellow River burst, the flood receded, and a large amount of silt accumulated, and the government organized people to clean it up, but the effect was not very good.

The victims did not dare to live on flat land, and almost all chose to build sheds on the mountains.

More than two months have passed, and the dead bodies have almost converged, and there is still a bad smell wafting in the air, which is the smell of the dead bodies of animals, after decay.

After the news of the imperial court's disaster relief came, many people returned to Mengjin.

Around the county, there are disaster victims everywhere, and the situation in the county is slightly better, but it is also extremely miserable.

Everywhere you can see, there are people crowded everywhere, and the air is filled with a stench.

The people who could see it were all dressed in tatters, with vegetables on their faces and blank eyes.

Su Tiancheng is most worried about the situation that the plague after the catastrophe, if it cannot be quickly disinfected, the germs emitted by the dead bodies of animals will infect people, which will form a huge disaster.

When Chongzhen was seventeen years old, Li Zicheng attacked the capital, almost no resistance, there was a big reason, that is, in the city of Beijing, the plague was raging, and there were dead people everywhere, Li Zicheng entered the city of Beijing, his own sergeant. They all encountered infections, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

On the question of how to provide disaster relief, Su Tiancheng and Yan Zizhang once again had a conflict.

Yan Zizhang has been in Mengjin for a few days, and there is not much grain nearby, so he first bought it in Luoyang, and the price of grain is very high. In the past, the wheat flour of three coins of silver and one stone rose to five coins of silver, and there was not much inventory, so I gritted my teeth and bought some grain, and hurried to Mengjin, only to find that many victims of the disaster had returned and gathered outside the county seat.

It is impossible to last a long time with the food bought.

Of course. The prefect of Henan Prefecture has rushed to Mengjin County to assist in disaster relief, and after the mood of the victims is stabilized, the patrol will go back according to the imperial history, which will take a month at most.

At the time of opening, the materials purchased by Su Tiancheng contained a large number of seeds and medicines. And some cotton.

Seeing these materials, Yan Zizhang said he didn't understand. In his opinion, the most important thing is food, as long as the victims have food to eat, they will not starve to death, and the rest of the things. More on that later.

When Yan Zizhang saw Su Tiancheng, his attitude was much more polite.

Su Tiancheng exterminated more than 5,000 bandits in Xinxiang County, Weihui Mansion, and cut off the head of the bandit leader Du Laosan. Yan Zizhang already knew that two thousand against five thousand, with such a major victory, he would not dare to take such a risk if he were him.

After checking the supplies, Yan Zizhang hurried to the county office.

The prefect of Henan Prefecture, the magistrate of Mengjin County, the county Cheng, the main Bo, the canon and other officials are all in the second hall of the county government.

"My lord, these disaster relief materials, the lower officials think that food is the most important, as for the rest of the things, you can ask Henan Prefecture and Mengjin County to handle them."

Su Tiancheng looked at Yan Zizhang, he really read too many books, and his head was kicked by a donkey, since he didn't understand disaster relief, he shouldn't speak casually, and he was still as a deputy envoy.

"Lord Yan, after the catastrophe, there will be a big epidemic, the reason why there is no such situation in Mengjin County is that the county government actively cleaned up the mud and collected the corpses, and a large number of victims have left here, and now the victims have heard that the imperial court has come to relieve the disaster, and they have returned, there are too many people, it will inevitably cause some diseases, if it cannot be effectively prevented, there is a major epidemic, you and I will not live up to the grace of God."

"The victims of the disaster cannot fully rely on the relief of the imperial court, they must carry out production, rebuild their homes, they need seeds, restore the cultivated land to the maximum, prepare to sow winter wheat, and only have food in the coming year, otherwise, the imperial court will exempt them from taxes, but in the fields, there is no grain to grow, what do they eat."

"The weather is getting cooler, and when winter comes, the victims need to dress warmly, and if some people freeze to death, you and I will not be able to complete the task well."

"Henan Prefecture and Mengjin County, mainly responsible for post-disaster production and reconstruction, you and I work with your colleagues to estimate the need for expenditure of silver taels, and ask them to implement it on their behalf, as for the matter of food, the disaster victims need to overcome difficulties, and the imperial court does not have such a great ability to bear it completely, and Fuzhou County must also find a way."

As soon as he said that, everyone fell silent.

Yan Zizhang was still thinking about what to say, and when he saw Su Tiancheng with an expressionless face, he also shut up with interest.

This involves a problem, that is, the problem of corruption of local officials, the silver for disaster relief cannot be used on the heads of the victims, so Su Tiancheng bought as many materials as possible and distributed them, the officials thought about corruption, and there was no way, of course, he had no way to stare at the production after the disaster, after all, it was only so long.

Outside the county seat, more than 20 soup kitchens have been set up, and after Su Tiancheng came, he made it clear that the porridge and rice boiled out, chopsticks can not be poured, this is okay. In addition, in every place where the soup is served, Chinese medicine is boiled, and everyone should drink it to avoid infectious diseases.

The officials of the county government began to be busy again, they registered the situation of the victims, continued to clean up the dead bodies of animals and livestock, buried them as required, and most of the victims were mobilized to start rebuilding their homes.

In the matter of cleaning up the silt, Su Tiancheng really couldn't help it and reprimanded Yan Zizhang.

Yan Zizhang's meaning, cleaning up the silt, the county government sent people to organize, and the victims went to work, without pay.

Su Tiancheng insisted that the peasants who participated in the cleaning of the mud must complete their work tasks, otherwise their remuneration will be halved.

Yan Zizhang thinks that he can't understand that this is the victim's own business, and the imperial court wants to pay for something.

The two even argued at the county office.

Yan Zizhang put forward his own reasons, and there was no need for the imperial court to give money.

Su Tiancheng glanced at Yan Zizhang coldly and spoke unceremoniously.

"Lord Yan, this official is the mastermind, everything is directly responsible for the official, make a decision, you and I can negotiate, but you have to be clear about your identity."

"My lord's words, the lower officials don't dare to agree, unreasonable matters, the lower officials have to oppose it, otherwise, when they return to the capital, the lower officials will definitely impeach the adults."

"Whatever you want, you can do whatever you want, from now on, you will assist the local government in all disaster relief matters, and all decisions will be made according to the arrangements of the official."

Yan Zizhang was also angry, and spoke with a sneer.

"My lord said so, Xia Guan will return to the capital tomorrow, is there no place to reason."

"Please, however, this official has said in advance, the Xiaoqi Battalion is here for disaster relief, and will not escort you back to the capital, if you want to go back early, you will be responsible for the expenses along the way."

"You, you deceive too much......"

"Hmph, this official is doing this, it is a good thing, if it weren't for the fact that you came to Mengjin County early and tried your best to help the victims, this official would have invited Shang Fang Baojian a long time ago, and he didn't know anything, so he was talking nonsense here and delaying disaster relief, so it would be better to shut up in the future."

Yan Zizhang's face turned pale, and Su Tiancheng was furious, please come out with Shang Fang's sword, it was not a joke.

"This official knows that if you are not convinced, then this official will let you understand, first, when you arrived in Mengjin County, you saw that the victims of the disaster had gathered, and you did not think of reasonable arrangements to carry out self-help, but you were staring at the food, as long as the victims had food to eat, everything was left to the place, and the court sent you to the disaster relief, what is the effect."

"Second, simple common sense is not clear, this is not a drought or a flood, the Yellow River bursts, countless dead, there are livestock corpses everywhere, the weather is hot, these corpses are rotting, the dirty water that flows out, to the river, the victims drink, what will happen, don't you know the road, after the disaster, the plague epidemic, don't you know the road, come to Mengjin County, do not organize prevention, just think about food, you don't know anything about the situation below, you are also here for disaster relief."

"Third, the post-disaster reconstruction, not fully attached, did not think of a good way, blindly rely on the locality, this dredging matters, the project is huge, relying on the county government, when can it be completed, take advantage of the moment of dredging, subsidize the victims of some silver taels, in order to facilitate them to build their homes, with silver in their hands, they can survive this time, such a simple truth, you don't know, and talk about disaster relief."

"Lord Yan, this official reminds you once again that disaster relief is extraordinary, and there is no room for any mistakes, if you think about other things in your heart, delay the disaster relief matters, and make the people suffer, no matter who it is, this official will not be polite."

Yan Zizhang's face turned pale, he completely understood these words, it turned out that Su Tiancheng knew everything.

He also has a last resort, since he has accepted the task, he has to work in that direction, otherwise he will not be able to explain, who knows, Su Tiancheng didn't pay attention to this set at all, and many times, he made a decision directly.

In fact, many of Su Tiancheng's proposals are very reasonable, and this can also help the victims to the greatest extent, for example, if the silver is subsidized by the local government, I don't know how many roads there are, and it can fall on the heads of the victims.

Now that Su Tiancheng has noticed everything, Yan Zizhang is also very interested, if Su Tiancheng didn't rely on it, he wouldn't have such a big confidence, besides, what people do is really for the disaster victims, if they continue to fight for the party and squeeze out Su Tiancheng, I'm afraid that the final result will be that they will suffer a loss.
