Chapter Ninety-Eight: Disaster after Disaster

"Auntie, this is a cart of fruit that Haixin personally picked for you, he said he wouldn't send you, he accompanied his nine emperors' apprentices to start chanting, I sent this fruit to my aunt and grandmother camp"

"Thank you, Chenghuang, then let's go." Chanchan glanced back with infinite nostalgia, shook her head, and pulled Xiao Yuan to disappear into the vast night sky.

"Wow! Wow! Wow......" A baby's cry came from the camp of the Miyi University outside Guyuan City, Xiao Yuan knew that it was Suyi's cry, and sure enough, after the cry, Zi Yan's voice of gently coaxing the child came.

"Sister is so nice, you can go to sleep too! I'm going to help my sister, or I'm going to wake up a lot of people inside. "

"Good Night"

Xiao Yuan carried two cantaloupes back to the consciousness space, and he studied the Qiankun stick in the space for a while, judging from the fact that he went to another space with Chanjuan today, it was extremely difficult for him to survive alone in that space, it seemed that he could only enter with peace of mind if he really practiced well, thinking about Xiao Yuan gradually falling asleep.

Xiao Yuan was woken up by the noise in the early morning, he woke up and saw that clean clothes and washing tools were still placed in front of the bed, Xiao Yuan's heart warmed, changed into clean clothes, and went to wash with a wooden basin.

Out of the camp, there are a lot of victims today, Dad is making arrangements in an orderly manner, Xiao Yuan walked over and said hello to the busy father, and the father nodded in response to him.

Xiao Yuan looked at these people who were in ragged clothes and shivering from the cold, and lined up in a long line to beg for a ** porridge, hey! At this time, more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages drove into the camp, and the victims let out cheerful cries again.

It turned out that Governor Yang's carriage pulling grain had arrived, and seeing so much food, the victims had already decided that now was the best time to organize self-help. This solid original, Xiao Yuan can rest assured that it will be handed over to his father.

In Xiao Yuanyuan's camp, he gathered with Xiao Yuan's squad leader who went to Haiyuan for a short meeting, and Xiao Yuan told them all the things to pay attention to tomorrow, so that they must obey the regulations on the road, and let them go to Guyuan's disaster relief first.

At this time, Governor Yang hurriedly came over, and said happily to Xiao Yuan: "Mr. Xiao's Guyuan Telegraph Office can send a telegram, we just cleared it out, and Mr. will send a telegram to that first."

"Okay, the governor will go to the telegraph office to see these heroes, and first send a report to Gansu Governor Zhang Guangjian and Gansu Provincial Assembly Speaker Wang Shixiang to report the disaster. I'll go with you."

When Xiao Yuan came to the telegraph office, he saw that Governor Yang had restored the telegraph office with a few door panels and a tent, and the three staff members of the bureau warmly received them.

Xiao Yuan and Governor Yang considered and reported the disaster to the province, and wrote in: Yang Weimin, Governor of Guyuan, and Xiao Yuan, President of Medical University, reported that more than 38,000 people died in the Guyuan earthquake, and five or six out of ten deaths in the county town, remote places could not be counted, countless injured people were injured, the victims had no food and clothing, and the bodies of the victims were still buried in the ground, unable to clear out, and heavy snow fell from the sky, leaving only a hell on earth, and the other Guyuan County Magistrate and others had been killed, and only Governor Yang Weimin and Police Chief Shi Zuoliang were in the brigade. The province is invited to provide strong disaster relief. Xiao Yuan sent the telegram to the provincial governor and the speaker of the parliament respectively.

After the telegram was sent, Xiao Yuan sent a telegram to President Qian and the fourth brother of the Medical University to inquire about the preparation of disaster relief materials.

The two waited at the telegraph office for a while, Xiao Yuan thought for a while and sent a telegram to Xu Shichang, the president of the north, and Sun Wen, the generalissimo of the south.

The director of the telegraph bureau quietly cried and said to Governor Yang: "Governor, this earthquake has destroyed our home, and our bureau has left three adults, four children, and one woman, and this food is almost gone, does the governor give us some food?"

Governor Yang looked at Xiao Yuan, and Xiao Yuan nodded.

"Hey! It's all hard, isn't it? I just created some wheat from the soil yesterday, and you come and go to the camp at once, and weigh the adults at ten pounds each, and the children weigh seven pounds each, and deal with it for a few days! ”

"Thank you, Governor, we'll go get it as soon as we get it."

"Director, the province has called back, it was the governor and the speaker of the parliament who jointly called back, what does the telegram say, when will the disaster relief people arrive!"

"I didn't say it, just a letter of appointment!"

"What, show me"

The director took it and looked at it, only to see that it was written: "Ci appointed Xiao Yuan as the chairman of the Haiyuan, Guyuan Earthquake Relief Committee, and the disaster relief of all counties in the disaster area obeyed the orders of Chairman Xiao Yuan." Here's the time. ”

When the head of the government choked up and handed the telegram to Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan couldn't cry or laugh.

Governor Yang scolded in the morning, the telegram was passed in vain, Xiao Yuan took the telegram, and when he was about to leave, the translator shouted happily: "Good thing for the director, the disaster relief materials of overseas Chinese in Nanyang have been sent out in Sichuan, Lianghu, Xi'an and other places through the medical university, ask Principal Xiao if they all go to Tianshui, then ask Principal Xiao Tianshui to receive and distribute it."

"The director has sent another telegram, it is from Mr. Sun Wen of the Generalissimo of the Southern Generalissimo's Mansion, Mr. Sun has prepared a disaster relief fund of 20,000 yuan and has been allocated to the Medical University, please make proper arrangements for it. There was also a private telegram to Mr. Sun to Principal Xiao. ”

"Director, President Xu's letter of appointment has also arrived, appointing President Xiao as the chairman of the Gansu Disaster Relief Committee, and all disaster relief matters in Gansu will be under President Xiao's orders."

Xiao Yuan held two telegrams of appointment in one minute, and sighed in his heart, but when he read Mr. Sun's telegram, he saw a glimmer of hope in Huaxia.

"Xiao Jun, Hai, Gu Dazhen all matters, relying on Mr. to bear it, how difficult the country is, I hope that Mr. will contribute more. Sun Wen is righteous on behalf of Mr. Xie.

In addition to the earthquake disaster, the five provinces in North China have also suffered from drought one after another, and Sun Wen has reported that he has been starving for thousands of miles in China, and the hungry people have been displaced for thousands of miles.

Wang Xiaojun also planned for the hungry people, and Sun Wending was Mr. 's backup. Sun Wendian January 8, 10th year of the Republic of China"

After reading it, Xiao Yuan recalled that in 1920, there was a severe drought in Shandong, Henan, Zhili (Hebei), Shanxi, and Shaanxi provinces, which caused ***.

The drought has affected at least 30 million people and more than 500,000 died of starvation. At the same time, a large number of people have chosen to leave their homes in the face of famine, whether it is a traffic highway or a town capital, there are hungry people swimming everywhere.

Ay! At this time, China was full of natural disasters, warlords were rampant everywhere, and there was a pure land.

Xiao Yuan sent a telegram back to Principal Qian and the fourth brother, agreeing to send Tianshui, but what about those victims of the early disaster? Thirty million, five hundred thousand, Xiao Yuan has a big head when he thinks about it.

Huaxia can't be saved, only counting on the United States, it seems that he has got Beijing, Shanghai, and has a fate, only to arrange things here, and take a few to go on a trip.

Thinking of this, he sent another letter to reporter Hu in Beiping, asking about the disaster situation in the five provinces of North China, and then returned to the camp with Governor Yang, Xiao Yuan showed the telegram to Ziyan, Xiao Nizi read it! Jumped up. "Brother, you are just one person, how can you save so many people? This should be done by the state, and it is the direct subordinate of the seat of the government in the north, can they not save it?

Here we brave aftershocks, landslides, rockfalls, thousands of miles of leaps forward, to help the world and save the people, this is just a little eyebrows, you want to go thousands of miles again, is it worth it for this country?

Poor victims, I know, are the victims of the five provinces? Brother, let's go there and get so much food for relief, your Ziyan can only eat one meal a day, and I can also ask them to save the food in their mouths at home, but brother, it's too much, too much.

We can't find that much food, and even if we do, can we get it to the victims? Will those cannibalistic warlords let us send it?

Brother, I know that you are an extremely kind-hearted person, but we can't do that, we don't have manpower and material resources, this country is broken by those warlords, we launch discussions to expose them, otherwise my brother can't save you, and we can't do it without the support of the state.

These two telegrams are not bad, although there is nothing practical, but I think my brother can appoint a few local officials, and the world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit.

My brother doesn't want to be an official, but others think, you see that you let your father act as the county magistrate of Guyuan, Governor Yang and Director Shi are all appointed as deputy county magistrates, you see that they will do several times better than now, they are asking for fame or fortune.

The administrative structure here has been destroyed, brother, you should have asked your eldest brother-in-law for a person in this regard, I think that Governor Yang is a person who does practical things for the people, you should give him this county magistrate, Daddy will be your agent, and Director Shi will be a deputy county magistrate and police chief.

In this way, you can save the disaster, and the victims have hope of survival, otherwise when we leave, there will be a few survivors who can survive. ”

"Huh! I just found out that my baby is also a politician, huh? These people who follow me don't give them a future, they will lose confidence.

Baby, you're right! You allow me to take care of it, how to arrange this solid plain, and what you said about North China Province if I want to go to the disaster relief is also right. It is indeed very difficult, let me think about it, think about it, think about it. ”

Xiao Yuan fell into deep thought, yes! I've always been rushing forward, and I should have made arrangements for my subordinates, so I can't just hold my feet in front of me?

I'm really not good at being an official? If it's really like Zi Yan said, I should ask my eldest brother-in-law?

Just do what he said, Xiao Yuan wrote a telegram about the situation in front of Guyuan, and handed it to Junzi to send to inquire about his eldest brother-in-law.

After doing this, Xiao Yuan went to chat casually among the victims, and listened to their comments on Governor Yang and Director Shi.

Both of them are the kind of people who are enthusiastic about the people, not greedy, capable, and those who are greedy are all taken by God. This is a blessing in disguise.

Xiao Yuan paid attention at this time, turned around and returned to the tent, ready to sit and wait for the arrival of the two.
