Chapter 242: Disaster Relief

"Save people, save people!"

Zhu Youzhen shouted and woke up from his dream, but saw that he was lying on a bed made of several wooden boxes, and above his head was a temporary shed. Seeing that he woke up, Bao Yulian, who looked haggard, hurriedly stroked his forehead and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, it's okay now!" ”

"Why am I here? Aren't you going to Jiezhuang to save people? Zhu Youzhen said inexplicably.

At this time, the people who were guarding outside the tent also heard the sound and came in. Seeing that Zhu Youzhen was safe and sound, Rui'er and the others were surprised and happy, and shed tears happily.

However, Sun Chuanting could still hold on, and stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, the lower officials have sent people to check on the disaster situation in more than 30 villages in the county. In seven or eight villages near Qinwangzhuang, the disaster has been ascertained. Almost all the houses collapsed, and the casualties were okay, probably one out of ten. But there are some ruins that haven't had time to be cleared, and I don't know how many people are pressed down below. ”

"That's serious!" Zhu Youzhen said anxiously, "How many people do we have?" It must be dispatched immediately to rescue the people under the ruins. There is a 'golden 72 hours' for earthquake rescue, and after these 72 hours, the hope of survival for the people under the ruins is very slim! ”

"Seventy-two hours of gold?" Everyone was stunned.

"Ahem, it's three days and three nights!" Zhu Youzhen didn't care to explain in detail at this time, and sat up from the bed with a bone, "What is the situation in other villages?" ”

"Due to the long distance and the fact that the roads were completely damaged after the earthquake, the people who sent out have not yet replied." Sun Chuanting frowned and said.

Zhu Youzhen said urgently: "I can't wait any longer!" Now immediately gather all the workers of the Jingyang Business Gang, divide as many villages as they want, drive directly to those villages, and provide disaster relief on the spot! ”

As he spoke, he was about to go out. Rui'er hurriedly grabbed him and said softly: "Lord Wang, please change your clothes first!" ”

Zhu Youzhen looked down, and then found that he was still wearing Mei Jian's belly pocket and obscene pants, which was really funny. But at this moment, he couldn't take care of it anymore, so he still strode out, saying as he walked: "When is it, you are still so particular!" I'm bare-assed, and I have to get out there to save people! ”

"Lord Wang...!" Rui'er hurriedly walked in front of him and stopped: "The county lord of Lishan is waiting outside!" ”

"Why is she here? That... I'd better change my clothes! Zhu Youzhen said embarrassedly.

However, due to the collapse of all the houses in the Qin Palace, many items are still under the rubble, and none of Zhu Youjian's clothes have been found so far. In desperation, everyone had to scrape together and put together a set of clothes for Zhu Youzhen that was still in good condition. Of course, this set of clothes is also covered with dust, Zhu Youzhen looked at himself, it was really a bit of a sharp brother's mix and match style, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

After putting on the clothes, Zhu Youzhen stepped out of the shed, and sure enough, he saw Zhu Cunqi, the lord of Lishan County, waiting outside. She is still in the spotless plain clothes, and in the messy environment around her, it shows her innate elegance.

"Is Your Highness okay?" Zhu Cunqi stepped forward and said deeply.

"There is Lord Lao asking me, I'm fine!" Zhu Youzhen hurriedly returned the salute, "Why is the county lord here? Was the city of Xi'an also affected by the earthquake? ”

"The earthquake was also felt strongly in Xi'an, but there were not many houses collapsed, and there were many fewer casualties among the people than in Jingyang." Zhu Cunqi looked at Zhu Youzhen with concern and said, "His Royal Highness's palace has been completely destroyed, it is better to go to Xi'an City first and temporarily settle down in Cunqi's mansion!" ”

"No, no, no!" Zhu Youzhen hurriedly said, "There are also a lot of people in the Hou Mansion..."

"It's not the Hou Mansion, it's the Chess Mansion." Zhu Cunqi smiled slightly, "Now Cunqi doesn't live in the Hou Mansion anymore." ”

"Oh? When did this happen? Zhu Youzhen was surprised.

"Just a few days ago." Zhu Cunqi couldn't help frowning and said, "Since the saint made a decree, he re-named his father as a marquis, and restored the title of county lord of Cunqi, but demoted the two elder brothers to concubines. The two elder brothers were jealous, so they couldn't tolerate playing chess, and they said some ugly things all day long, and they couldn't bear to repeat it! Therefore, a few days ago, Cunqi used his savings to buy a house and moved out of the Hou Mansion. Although the house is small, it is just a quiet place. Now His Highness is in difficulty, and he will only go to the house for a few days. ”

"That's embarrassing!" Zhu Youzhen said busily.

"Your Highness doesn't have to be polite, if it weren't for His Highness's help, Cunqi would have been shattered!" Zhu Cunqi said sincerely, "Besides, Jingyang has been seriously affected, and now there are continuous aftershocks, and it is not safe to stay here." ”

"Still don't have to!" Zhu Youzhen said gratefully, "I appreciate the kindness of the county lord, but I can't leave Jingyang now." How can I leave many people behind who are still waiting to be rescued under the rubble, and many more who are homeless? ”

"Your Highness!" Zhu Cunqi was moved and said with tears in his eyes, "It would be nice if the officials of Xi'an, as well as their father, could have half of His Royal Highness!" After the earthquake, Cunqi was worried about His Highness's safety, and hurriedly sent someone to contact the Xi'an prefect and his father, wanting to come with them to save His Highness. But they are indifferent to their own business. Especially Huang Cunye, the prefect of Xi'an, said that 'Xi'an is also suffering from disasters, and there is no time to look north', in fact, he is just afraid that he will die! Isn't he afraid that King Qin will lose and blame him! ”

Sun Chuanting snorted coldly and said: "If there are thieves attacking Jingyang County, of course the prefect will be involved, and he is afraid of being accused of 'losing the feudal town'. But the earthquake is a natural disaster, and of course he has more than one thing to do. ”

"I don't have time to talk to him right now." Zhu Youzhen suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "For now, we still have to save ourselves!" Master Sun, do you know the scope of this earthquake? ”

"It's not clear yet." Sun Chuanting hurriedly replied, "I only know that the earthquake is very serious, and the mountains and rivers have changed because of it. The Jing River has now stopped..."

"What!" Zhu Youzhen was shocked and said, "The Jing River has broken off? ”

"Exactly." Sun Chuanting didn't know why Zhu Youzhen was panicking, and said slowly, "After the earthquake, there were cracks everywhere on the ground, and maybe cracks also appeared at the bottom of the Jing River somewhere, and the river water flowed into the ground along the cracks, but it is not known." ”

"It's not like that!" Zhu Youzhen said hurriedly, "Where is the upper reaches of the Jing River?" Are there any mountains? ”

Sun Chuanting replied blankly: "The Jing River originates in the Liupan Mountain, and it mostly runs through the valley all the way down. That is, in Jingyang County, it passes through Sagashan. ”

"Oops! It must have created a dammed lake! Zhu Youzhen patted his thigh and said.

"A dammed lake?" Everyone was stunned again, and they couldn't understand what Zhu Youzhen was saying at all.

Zhu Youzhen had to explain: "After a strong earthquake, the mountain often collapses, blocking the river and forming a lake. Because it's like a cofferdam, it's called a 'dammed lake'. The river water enters the dammed lake and cannot come out, so the downstream will naturally be cut off.

"But the water upstream is still flowing into the lake, and the lake's capacity is limited, and sooner or later it will overflow the cofferdam or even break the cofferdam and form a breach. Once the mouth breaks, a huge flood peak will be formed, and the people downstream will become fish and turtles! The damage caused by this secondary disaster may be greater than the earthquake itself! ”

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, and after a while, Zhu Cunqi said: "Your Highness has lived in the Forbidden City since childhood, and it has been less than half a year since he left the palace, how do you know these things?" ”

Zhu Youzhen's face flushed, and he said in his heart that before he crossed over, China had just experienced the Wenchuan earthquake. The earthquake made many people aware of the dammed lake through the news, and they were one of them.

Of course, these words could not be spoken, so he had to cough dryly and said: "Is there a dammed lake, walk upstream, and you will know at a glance." In my opinion, the dammed lake has now become the biggest threat, and I have to make a visit myself. Lord Sun! ”

Sun Chuanting hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "The lower official is here!" ”

"You go back to the county government to preside over the overall situation of the county first, and the first job is still to save people!" Zhu Youzhen hurriedly said, "In addition, we must let the victims have water to drink, food to eat, and a place to sleep." Don't I see a lot of spring water on the ground? You can test it, if you can drink it, you must boil it and drink it, and don't drink unclean water, which will lead to an outbreak of infectious diseases!

"As for the rice, open the county granary warehouse, Qinwangzhuang also has grain stored here, and each village distributes it according to the capitation. Someone must be assigned to supervise this work to prevent fraudulent claims and looting.

"Pay more attention to where you sleep! The victims will definitely build simple sheds, these sheds must not be too crowded, and it is strictly forbidden to raise fires at night! Otherwise, once a fire is started, it will be impossible to clean up again! ”

"Temple... Your Highness, you have thought through everything, it is amazing! Zhu Cunqi couldn't help but admire from the bottom of his heart.

"County Lord, there are still many things here, only you can't think of it, there is nothing you can't meet!" Zhu Youzhen smiled bitterly, "Rui'er, Qin Wangzhuang and the palace will be handed over to you first!" Yu Lian, you are a doctor, you must save the lives of those wounded, you really can't... Just amputate your limbs! ”

Rui'er and Bao Yulian both nodded vigorously. Zhu Youzhen said to Lin Youkun again: "Commander Lin, you are also working hard, leading Qin Wangwei to patrol the whole county day and night. Once you find that someone takes advantage of the catastrophe to steal property, or even rob a house or rape money, you will kill me! ”

Lin Youkun was a little hesitant, but Sun Chuanting hurriedly said for him: "Your Highness, Qin Wangwei is in charge of Su Wei, this is not a matter of catching thieves and thieves. If the eunuchs are allowed to grasp the handle because of this, I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble. ”

"I'll talk about it later, when the sky falls, there is this king on top! Lin Youkun, do you listen to the king's orders? Zhu Youzhen's face was hideous.

"Obey Your Highness's orders!" Lin Youkun hurriedly knelt down to receive the order.

When Zhu Youzhen saw that the arrangements were in order, he immediately rushed to the upper reaches of the Jing River to find the dammed lake. Zhu Cunqi said: "Your Highness, Cunqi has nothing to do, can I go with you?" There is a good response on the road! ”

"County Lord, this trip may be dangerous, you better go back to Xi'an!" Zhu Youzhen said sincerely.

"No!" Zhu Cunqi said stubbornly, "Your Highness has to go, why can't Cunqi go?" Since His Royal Highness can risk his life, Cunqi must also accompany you! Come on, take my Biyunxia! ”
