Chapter 554: Disaster Relief
Lin Junsheng had a hippie smile, "Of course it's not a slave." My helper is Zhou Zheng. ”
Lin Feng was stunned, "How can Zhou Zhengzheng become your helper, don't dream." ”
"I'm going to get a fake Lin Zhongchao, do you think Zhou Zhengzheng will be my helper?" Lin Junsheng told Lin Feng about his plan one by one.
Wu Guogong Mansion. Inside the house, a vertical scroll landscape painting hangs on the wall in the center, and on both sides, there are two pieces of wood carving, with the technique of missing carving. Under the landscape painting, on the long case, a plate of sandalwood is slowly burning.
Zhou Zhengzheng was wearing a white Luo shirt, the fluffy cuffs seemed to be an auspicious cloud, and the collar was the same. Outside, there is also a pink gown. The lower body is a water skirt.
"Zhou Yi, you are so bold that you actually wrote to me for help." Zhou Zheng felt incredible, Zhou Yi even sent a slave to come to the door, "What do you say Zhou Yi is also a child in the mansion of Wu Guo." Why didn't Zhou Yi know to come back in the past, but now that the traitors have left, they don't know to go back? ”
The slave fell to her knees crying, "Please, girl, save our young lady." ”
"I'll go to King Yong's Mansion to see Zhou Yi." Zhou Zheng said and walked into the inner room.
The slave had no choice but to go back and tell Zhou Yi that Zhou Zheng had promised to come to visit Zhou Yi one afternoon in a few days.
Zhou Yi was furious, "Zhou Zheng deceived people too much!" ”
The flood is coming. One of the biggest floods in the south of the Great Ming Dynasty came.
The overcast sky seemed to be about to come down. The rain is like a hole in the skylight, and it can't be stopped.
Heavy rains poured in, rivers poured in, floods overflowed, and the people in the south could hardly move an inch because of the floods.
The crops that seemed to be about to be harvested are now almost gone. In some poor people's homes, the rice in the rice jar can't last for a few days.
As a result of the floods, many houses have collapsed, killing and injuring hundreds.
Soon, the disaster in the south reached the capital.
The whole court was depressed, and some superstitious people began to worship the sky in order to stop the rain in the south. But the rain was still falling so hard that it hid from the water on the riverbank, blurring the road surface, and it was impossible to distinguish which was the river and which was the road.
After learning of the disaster, Zhou Jinxuan took the initiative to come to the south to help the people get through the difficulties safely.
And Zhou Yuheng also followed to the south.
"Grandpa Wu, be careful of slippery roads." The local prefect carefully accompanied Zhou Jinxuan, and the county magistrate followed closely behind the prefect and listened to Zhou Jinxuan's arrangements at any time.
"Natural disasters are irresistible, but the lives of the people are at stake, and we cannot turn a blind eye." Zhou Jinxuan was heartbroken when he learned that more than ten people died due to the flood today.
"Yes, yes, Grandpa Zhou is worried about the country and the people, it is really the blessing of the people, and the blessing of my country." The accompanying officials hurriedly catered to him.
"Do you have any countermeasures for such a disaster?" Zhou Jinxuan said word by word, while looking around at the accompanying officials.
The appearance of not being angry and arrogant made everyone scared.
Dozens of people, none of them dared to speak, and Zhou Jinxuan also shook his head in disappointment.
Back in the house, Zhou Yuheng took the initiative to offer advice to Zhou Jinxuan, and wrote down some key contents of the disaster relief one by one.
After Zhou Jinxuan read it, he nodded with satisfaction, and then, according to Zhou Yuheng's suggestion, he took the lead in arranging several important things.
The first is to rescue the people trapped in the flood first.
Zhou Jinxuan asked the prefect to mobilize more than 100 nearby ships to transport them day and night.
Evacuate people trapped in dilapidated houses, temples, or rocks to a safe place first.
Because of the large number of people, Zhou Yuheng suggested that an ancestral hall built on the mountainside should be used as a temporary refuge.
After the victims arrived, a lot of white steamed buns were delivered. The next day, quilts and other things were delivered.
The basic life was guaranteed, and the hearts of the people were suddenly stabilized.
Some men, in order to reciprocate, have taken the initiative to go out to help the disaster.
And some women are also willing to boil water and rice, in order to make the people who go to the disaster relief more energetic.
The flood was relentless, and finally one afternoon, a levee burst, and the flood rushed into the city like a wild horse.
Suddenly, the streets and alleys of the city were full of water, and there was not even a place to put your feet, and what was even more hateful was that a large amount of disaster relief food was not protected and was flooded.
"This is a grave dereliction of duty!" Zhou Jinxuan, who was sitting on a high seat, scolded sharply, "So much food is wasted, this is how many people's life-sustaining food." ”
Zhou Jinxuan was furious, and beheaded the official in charge of food.
None of the people dared to object.
Since then, the officials have not dared to slack off in the slightest, and the disaster relief has become more active.
After settling the victims, Zhou Yuheng asked the local officials to repair the embankment.
This is what Zhou Yuheng proposed to Zhou Jinxuan a long time ago, most of the people love their families, if they can return to their homeland as soon as possible, they can reassure the people as soon as possible, otherwise, the people's hearts will be unstable and the society will be uneasy.
But repairing the breach of the embankment is not an easy task.
The flood water flows very fast, and even more than ten catties of stones will be washed away as quickly as fine sand.
After several failures, Zhou Yuheng thought of using clay and glutinous rice, starting from the place where the water flow is shallow and slow, and slowly filling up the breach like cannibalization.
In addition, Zhou Yuheng organized a lot of people to remove the silt in the river, and after three days of hard work, the riverbank that had not been seen for a long time finally appeared.
On higher ground, when the flood waters receded, they left a deep mark on the wall. Some of the melons that were originally on the ground also appeared on the roof because of the flood.
As the flood receded, the people longed to return to their original houses.
But Zhou Yuheng stopped it at the first time.
"Father, the epidemic is high after the disaster, and the key is to eliminate the epidemic first."
Zhou Jinxuan thought that what Zhou Yuheng said was very reasonable, so he instructed the surrounding officials, "Whenever you drink water, you must use alum first." ”
Fortunately, Zhou Yuheng stopped it in time, and some people who did not listen to the dissuasion were soon infected with the plague and died violently.
After more than a month, according to Zhou Yuheng's suggestion, Zhou Jinxuan firmly controlled every step of the disaster relief and minimized the harm to the people.
When the flood finally receded, the people returned to their familiar places.
And Zhou Jinxuan and Zhou Yuheng also retired and quietly returned to the capital.
It's just that Zhou Jinxuan left a lot of legendary stories, some people say that Zhou Jinxuan and the Dragon King played a game of chess, and the Dragon King lost, so the rain stopped, and some people said that Zhou Jinxuan can spell, as long as he waves his hand, the rain will stop, and the water will become clean immediately.
