At the end of October 1629, a sudden typhoon swept through the mouth of the Pearl River from west to east, covering most of the southern parts of Zhaoqing, Guangzhou, and Huizhou. Based on field observations, the typhoon may have had a maximum wind force of around 12, which is more than the natural disaster that struck Victory Port two years ago, when it was at best a severe tropical storm and not enough to reach the typhoon level.

Nearly 100,000 people were affected in more than a dozen counties, including Xinning, Xinhui, Shunde and Xin'an counties in the Pearl River estuary, including Hong Kong Island, where the new port is located. The only good thing is that the typhoon only passed through the Pearl River estuary, and then headed southeast towards the sea. Most places have been hit by typhoons for less than a day.

Because the militia navy detected the abnormal weather conditions earlier, the new port was able to have more than a day to prepare for disaster prevention and mitigation, so there was no loss of personnel in this typhoon, only a few people were hit by something blown by the wind and were slightly injured. However, a number of small boats were pushed ashore directly by the rough waves, causing a certain amount of damage. In addition, most of the thatched-roof houses have been lifted, and six or seven houses have been blown to the ground, and they can no longer be inhabited.

Thanks to the thorough preparation work in advance, there was no immediate problem with the food and shelter of the local people after the disaster, the number of food and tents was sufficient to supply the local needs, and the social order was not chaotic under the maintenance of the militia groups.

Immediately after the disaster, Chen Yixin contacted the Guangzhou Office, Panyu and Wanshan Port to report the local disaster situation. Guangzhou and Panyu were not directly affected, and Wanshan Port was warned early and made corresponding preparations, and the losses were also within a controllable range. However, the Guangzhou Office has already prepared manpower, ships and relief materials, and if the situation of the disaster here is more severe, then Guangzhou will immediately send a rescue fleet south.

Compared to the weaker storm that made landfall in Shengli Harbor two years ago, the typhoon caused less damage to the Haihankong area. The damage that Yau Yihan had feared did not materialize after the disaster, and it took only half a day for the Interim Management Committee to bring the local construction work back to a normal pace.

However, this is only the situation in the areas under the rule of Haihan, and the other affected areas have not suffered so well in the aftermath of the disaster. Many prefectures and counties have seen houses collapse, casualties, and property damage during the typhoon, and the local government's post-disaster relief efforts are somewhat powerless and chaotic.

The day after the disaster, the migrant camp in Lijiazhuang, Panyu, welcomed the first batch of victims who lived near Panyu and knew that the migrant camp set up by the Haihan people here would take in the helpless poor. Although most of these people are just asking for a little relief food and may not choose to join the naturalized people, Shahi, the interim director of the migrant camp, still sets up a tent to give porridge, so that anyone who comes to the disaster can get at least one food to survive.

The first peak of the crowd came three days later, when a large number of people who had lost food and property after the disaster flocked to Panyu County from the surrounding areas without being able to receive timely government assistance, forming a crowd outside Lijiazhuang. Xiao Liang and Yu Yao had to urgently lead the armed personnel under the jurisdiction of the Guangzhou Office and the security guards of the "Golden Shield Escort" to Panyu to maintain order in the area.

On the fifth day after the disaster, more than 4,000 people had gathered near Lijiazhuang, a number several times more than the number of people who went to Guangzhou for help. In the past few years, when a local natural disaster struck, a large number of people often flocked to Guangzhou for help, but now this behavior is changing subtly. For the weak disaster relief of the Guangdong government, the people are losing patience and trust little by little, and Haihan happened to appear in the most concentrated years of disasters in Guangdong, and played a positive image of sparing no effort to save the common people, such a table Xiàn let Haihan gradually have a good reputation among the people, when the natural disaster came again, many people first thought of not the incompetent government, but the Haihan people who have always unconditionally helped the victims of the disaster in Panyu Lijiazhuang.

After the typhoon, a considerable number of people affected by the disaster gave up going to Guangzhou, but went directly to Panyu, which is closer to the affected area, and asked the Haihan people in Lijiazhuang for help.

"These pots and jars are not allowed to be brought into the camp, if you want to bring these things, don't go in!" Sha Xi shouted at several of the victims who had fled with a pile of rags, Sha Xi's voice was obviously hoarse due to the fact that he had been on the front line dealing with these victims for many days.

According to the regulations governing the migrant camps, migrants are not allowed to bring non-essential daily necessities into the camp at will, so as to avoid the occurrence of epidemics and other dangers. However, the refugees are often reluctant to move out of their homes, so they often struggle with migrant cadres at the entrance. Shaxi had been dealing with immigration affairs here for several days in a row, and he had long been impatient with this.

"Irrelevant things, throw them all over there!" Sha Xi raised his hand and pointed to the plain to the left of the gate of the migrant camp, about three hundred meters away, there were two or three large pits, which were full of all kinds of waste, shabby clothes, all kinds of furniture, pots and pans, almost everything imaginable. These are the things that migrants discard before they enter the camps, and hundreds or thousands of items are collected every day.

"If you don't want to throw away these treasures, go to the open space on the right and find a place to wait, and each person will have a bowl of porridge every morning and evening!" Sha Xi said loudly pointing to the other side.

On the plain to the right of the gate, at least 1,000 victims gathered, and there were many temporary shelters built by the victims themselves. Either these people are reluctant to pay for their own belongings and wait here to see how things develop for the time being, or they simply want to eat for a few days, and then see whether they will go back to their hometown or make another plan. The treatment that these people can get is basically only two bowls of gruel a day, and there are not so many human resources for other things in the migrant camp. For matters such as sanitation and epidemic prevention, safety and security, the existing manpower to handle the inside of the camp is a little stretched, and the people outside who do not plan to follow Haihan can only let them fend for themselves.

"Director Sha, the base camp has sent a message. Just as Sha Xi was busy, his entourage ran over and handed him an envelope.

The envelope has a wax seal on the confidential room of the Lijiazhuang immigration camp, which is a means to prevent the leakage of confidential messages sent from the confidential room during transmission. Although the probability of such a thing happening at this stage is very small, under the insistence of the Executive Committee, it is still strictly implemented by various overseas organizations as one of the safety rules.

Sha Xi asked the naturalized cadre next to him to take over his work first, then walked to the side, opened the envelope, pulled out the message inside and began to watch.

The content of the telegram is very simple, it is to reply to the call for help sent back from the Lijiazhuang migrant camp a few days ago. Due to the arrival of a large number of refugees in the region, all aspects of affairs have fallen into a state of manpower strain, and all kinds of daily necessities have to be replenished as much as possible. Daily necessities such as food, tents, and clothing are also in short supply in the current Guangzhou market, so the resettlement camp hopes that the executive committee can arrange for the shipment of a batch of materials to supplement the needs of Lijiazhuang.

The Executive Committee's telegram is a reply to the next material support arrangements for the migrant camps. From Shengli Harbor, there is already a convoy of four cargo ships, one of which is bound for Wanshan Port and Hong Kong Island, and the other three are bound for Panyu. The three ships carried seventy tons of rice and other ingredients, some commonly used medicinal herbs, and hundreds of military tents. In addition to the ten doctors, there was also a company of militia accompanying them as a support for the Panyu security forces.

The ships will also take at least 700 to 800 migrants to Sanya on their return journey to reduce the pressure on the migrant camps. A second convoy of supplies and migrants is already being mobilized and will depart from Sanya in two days at the latest.

After reading the message, Sha Xi's mood calmed down a little. As it stands, the number of people in the camps has exceeded the normal capacity by more than 20%, and if the flow of people is not evacuated as much as possible, the camps are likely to gradually become chaotic and out of control, which is not a situation that Shaxi wants to see.

Sha Xi was a tour guide before the crossing, and his eloquent specialty allowed him to enter the civil affairs department to manage immigration affairs at the beginning of the crossing. Two years ago, he was given the opportunity to be transferred to the Guangzhou Office, and Sha Xi continued to work on immigration after coming to Guangzhou. However, two years have passed, although the development of Haihan in the mainland has also gained a lot, but the speed of expansion of the scope of control is quite slow, and the authority in the hands of officials like Sha Xi has not changed much, which is actually a bit of a psychological gap for Sha Xi, who came to this time and space with ambition to be the emperor of the soil.

Of course, the situation of this plane is not completely disappointing for Shaxi, and there are some things that he still enjoys. For example, last year, Sha Xi bought a quiet courtyard in Guangzhou City, and married two concubines in a row, and these two little girls were only fifteen or sixteen years old.

The Executive Committee has always been not too strict in its control over the personal issues of the overseas institutions, and only needs to register the personal and family status of the spouse with the civil affairs department. As for the number of wives and concubines these people intend to marry, the executive committee does not have a corresponding rule - one of the reasons why many people participate in the time-traveling operation is that the marital status of this time and space is relatively free, to be precise, it is for polygamy, if these people are not allowed to enjoy such treatment, I am afraid that the backs of several executive committee members will be scolded and swollen.

Shaxi's second concubine is now five months pregnant, and the emergence of the next generation is one of the biggest motivations for him to continue to struggle in this time and space. Shaxi is a very smart man, and he knows very well that if he wants to leave more legacy and power to the next generation, he must climb higher positions in the early stages of the crossing, and to do so, he must first make a breakthrough in his current job.

With the development and construction of Wanshan Port, Lijiazhuang, and Hong Kong Island, the establishment of the Guangdong Administrative Region is already an imperative measure, and it is only a matter of seeing when the Executive Committee will put it forward as a formal proposal for discussion. After the establishment of the Guangdong Administrative Region, the first batch of officials to be promoted should definitely be the same group of people who have been in the Guangzhou Office for two years. Even if the Executive Committee will make personnel adjustments, even if it is transferred to another place or transferred back to Sanya, this administrative promotion will definitely be a sure thing.

Sha Xi didn't want to be transferred elsewhere or back to Sanya at that time, he preferred to stay here in Guangzhou. In order to realize this wish, Shaxi must compete for the status of civil affairs chief after the administrative level of the office in Guangzhou is promoted.

Although he has been in charge of immigration affairs for the past two years, it does not mean that he will continue to be in charge of this work in the future. Recently, because of a business trip, the Executive Committee temporarily appointed You Yihan to Hong Kong Island to serve as the local civil affairs chief, which made Sha Xi feel a certain sense of nervousness -- he was not the only one in charge of civil affairs among the group of people in the Guangzhou Office. In addition to You Yihan, who was sent to Hong Kong Island this time, Ma Yu, who is in charge of medical and health care, is also one of the candidates.

Due to historical reasons, there have been no female executive committee members in the Executive Committee from the beginning, and there are still some voices of discussion among the people. Although the crackdown on feminists within the Crossing Group has always been relatively vigorous, it is unlikely that the Executive Committee will openly exclude the entry of female Crossing Agents - this is almost a sure thing in the future. Feminists like Gu Kai's foreign girlfriend Ressa will naturally be boycotted by the majority, and women with excellent public images like Ma Yu are very likely to be pushed out as the next executive committee members to silence those feminists.

It's still early to get the next executive committee re-election, but if the executive committee members agree to bring in a female executive committee member in the next election, then it would be safer to start paving the way for them to go politically now.
