Chapter 78: Disaster Relief Attacked

Lin Tianyang thought that it was the people from Shangshu Mansion who followed Zhao Shanfeng, but after setting off, he found that there were many people following them, and many officials and some technicians from the Ministry of Industry also followed.

"These people are all old people who have followed adults for many years, and they are all very experienced people, with them, there will be people who can discuss the project with adults at that time, and we people will fight and kill and deal with it, and we don't know anything about building bridges and paving roads." Liu Liqin said with a smile.

"I thought it was only us who followed, but when I saw them, I understood, it seems that I have to study more in the future, otherwise sometimes I really feel like I'm a novice." Lin Tianyang said with a smile.

"What's Xiaobai?" Liu Liqin asked puzzled.

"It's an idiot." Lin Tianyang said with a smile.

"Hahahaha..." Liu Liqin smiled and said: "You haven't been in contact with it before, this is normal, after a year and a half, you will know everything." ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Liqin glanced around and said in a low voice: "This time the adults went to the disaster relief, and there are many dangers, so we all have to be careful." ”

Lin Tianyang glanced around, nodded, and said, "Yes, I will always be very careful." ”

When the party reached the city gate, a group of inner court guards was already waiting for them at the city gate.

"Lord Zhao, we are ordered by the emperor to come to accept your deployment." The leader of the guards saluted Zhao Shanfeng and said.

"Commander Chen is polite, then let's go on the road." Zhao Shanfeng said with a smile.

The team left the city gate and traveled all the way south, heading straight for the disaster area.

After the team set off, there were people from the front who kept sending express reports, all of which were official documents to Zhao Shanfeng to report the situation in the disaster area ahead, and after receiving these official documents, Zhao Shanfeng called the officials of the Ministry of Industry to his side, kept discussing countermeasures, and then asked people to send the discussed methods to the disaster area in front as soon as possible, so that they could reduce losses as much as possible.

After Zhao Shanfeng set off with the officials of the Ministry of Industry, Du Chengli, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, kept mobilizing and raising money and food from all parties in the capital and sending them to the disaster area.

Half a month after Zhao Shanfeng left Beijing, Du Chengli was also ready to go to the disaster area.

"My lord, the emperor ordered you to go with Zhao Shanfeng for disaster relief this time, but he didn't say who would be the master and who would be the deputy between the two of you, this is a difficult problem." Du Chengli's master said to Du Chengli.

"It's true, the emperor just said let's discuss, but I don't know much about building bridges and paving roads, if there is anything wrong, I'm afraid that Zhao Shanfeng will be calculated." Du Chengli said that he was also very worried, after all, this is disaster relief, and if one is not careful, the boat will capsize, and then he will become the next household servant.

"My lord, do we want to..." Before the master's words were finished, someone came to report that there was a visitor, so he handed Du Chengli a piece of paper.

After Du Chengli opened the paper, he saw a swallow drawn on the paper, and then quickly closed the paper again, then glanced at the master, and said, "You go and invite the guests first, and we will discuss other things later." ”

The master came out in response, and soon walked in with a person, dressed in black, with a big hat on his head, and a black veil around the hat to cover his face.

Du Chengli waved his hand and let the master go down, and the master closed the door after he went out.

Du Chengli hurriedly stood up, walked to the front of the man in black, saluted and said, "I don't know what the envoy commands?" ”

"Lord Du, the Lord asked me to tell you that this time I went to relieve the disaster, everything was based on Zhao Shanfeng, and the Lord would also help you from it, and what the Lord wants now is stability, not civil strife." The man in black said, but it was a female voice, and the envoy in black was a woman.

"Yes, I see, what else does the Lord command?" Du Chengli asked.

"The Lord said that you must do your best, and after you do a good job, you will have the opportunity to go further, and only if you go further, the effect on the Lord will be greater." The woman in black said.

"Yes, I know, I will do my best to complete this disaster relief." Du Chengli said.

"The Lord will send someone to keep an eye on you, and you will be notified of anything at any time, and you just need to do what you need to do before you receive the next order." The woman in black said.

"Yes, I remember." Du Chengli said.

Early the next morning, Du Chengli set off with his own people, and similarly, the emperor also sent a team of guards with them, saying that they were deployed with Du Chengli, but everyone knew that these people were here to protect Du Chengli's safety.

"My lord, the news ahead." Commander Qian handed Zhao Shanfeng a copy of the express report he had just received.

Zhao Shanfeng took the express and opened it, then smiled and said: "Great, the first disaster relief fund raised by Du Chengli, the head of the household department, has been in place, and the problem of eating for the victims has been solved, so it's great, my biggest worry is gone." ”

When the people around heard this, they all showed joy, everyone knew that what Zhao Shanfeng was worried about was also what everyone was worried about, that is, he was afraid that the victims would riot, once the victims did not have anything to eat, there would be riots, and once there were riots by the victims, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After more than a month of travel, Zhao Shanfeng finally arrived at the disaster area with everyone, Zhao Shanfeng came directly to the victims, calmed everyone's emotions, inquired about the resettlement work, and then went to inspect the embankment on the riverbank.

The rain is still falling, and there are still many soldiers and civilians braving the rain to build the embankment, and Zhao Shanfeng is patrolling the embankment under the rain.

Lin Tianyang and the others also followed, without umbrellas, and they all withstood the rain.

"My lord, this can't be done, if the rain doesn't stop, the flood will rise, if it rises again, this embankment can't stop it, then a large area of the world behind it will be washed by the water, the land in front has been washed away, the dealer has been out of production, can't let the flood burst the embankment." A Ministry of Industry official said.

"Wang Dakuan, if you have any ideas, just say it, at this time, whether it's right or wrong, if you have an idea, just say it, let's just discuss it." Zhao Shanfeng said.

Wang Dakuan wiped the rain on his face with his hand, and said loudly: "My lord, I mean that there are not enough people to build the embankment now, we have to send more people, but we don't have so many people, I think we can mobilize the victims to build the embankment together, now there are many people involved in the construction of the embankment, but there are more people watching, we should mobilize these people to come to Xiu Dam together, protect their homes together, and then rebuild their homes together." ”

Hearing Wang Dakuan's suggestion, everyone nodded, and another official said: "My lord, what Lord Wang said makes sense, we can mobilize those disaster victims to build the embankment together, we can give them some more food as a reward, and even give them some wages." ”

Zhao Shanfeng nodded, he was also thinking about this problem, now only by mobilizing everyone together can this flood be stopped, so he said: "Okay, this proposal is very good, we will mobilize the victims now, and the two of you will come up with a specific measure for compensation." ”

"Yes!" Wang Dakuan and the two answered together.

Under the initiative of Zhao Shanfeng and others, many victims joined the team to build the dam, and Wang Dakuan and his colleagues also came up with a specific reward plan, which further stimulated those victims, and more people joined the team to build the dam.

Seeing that everyone was transporting sand and gravel with all their might, filling the gap in the embankment, Zhao Shanfeng's face finally showed a smile.

"The predecessors have said that this flood prevention and disaster relief, in the lead is not blocked, after this time, we have to dig some direct flow downstream to divert the water level of the river, so that it can also irrigate a large area of land downstream, once a flood occurs, it can also play a role in drainage, there will be no disaster, even if there is, it is also a controllable small disaster." Zhao Shanfeng said as he looked at the flooded river.

"The river didn't have water before, so there was no preparation for it, and it turned out to be what it is now." A local official said.

"This is my dereliction of duty, I should have thought of this a long time ago." Zhao Shanfeng said.

"Adults don't have to blame themselves, this is God's will, and no one can expect it." Everyone said.

"My lord, you are tired of traveling, it is better to take a break, change into clean clothes, your old body is important." The master said on the side.

"Yes, my lord, we all need you, you need to take care of your body." The local official said.

Under the persuasion of everyone, Zhao Shanfeng came to the tent, changed into clean clothes, drank a bowl of ginger soup, and did not rest, but called the officials to the tent to discuss the next matters.

Lin Tianyang and the others were guarding outside the tent, this was their duty, and even the guards sent by the emperor were guarding outside.

Just when Zhao Shanfeng led everyone to discuss the next step, a breeze suddenly blew, but this wind did not blow the falling rain away, but passed through the water droplets and blew towards the tent.

Lin Tianyang happened to be standing in front of the wind, when the wind blew, he immediately felt a sense of coldness, this was by no means the coldness brought by the normal wind, Lin Tianyang immediately took a step back, blocked in front of the wind, and at the same time made a gesture with both hands to meet the wind.

The wind was dispersed in an instant, and Lin Tianyang frowned and said, "Everyone be careful, something is wrong... ”

"You go in and protect your lordship." The master said.

Lin Tianyang stepped directly into the tent in one step, and when he stepped into the tent, he saw a gust of wind burrowing into Zhao Shanfeng's body.

"My lord, be careful..." Lin Tianyang shouted, and then rushed over.

Everyone was startled, and they all looked at the young man who rushed in, but they didn't notice that Zhao Shanfeng was trembling all over, and then his body shook.
