At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Shangyou County and Ningdu County were the areas with the most serious contradictions between Turks and Turks, mainly because the two sides were evenly matched.

Chen Maosheng personally sat in Shangyou County, and sent Liu Huan to sit in Ningdu County.

Shangyou River is not, Shangyou County is located in the upper reaches of it. In addition, the water level was shallow due to a half-year drought, so although many riverside farmlands were inundated after days of heavy rain, there was no major flooding on the whole.

Chen Maosheng asked the Ganzhou prefect to issue a disaster relief mobilization order, and at the same time led people to rescue the disaster in Shangyou County, which he thought was a good opportunity to alleviate the conflict between the Turks and the Turks.

"Boss, the mountain has collapsed, and half of Shixi Village has been buried!"

"Come with me!"

A collapsed mountain is a landslide.

Chen Maosheng and his people set off overnight and arrived the next morning. Further upstream in Jilong Village, it is inhabited by Hakka people, and due to the large number of trees cut down and the hillside is reclaimed for arable land, the degree of vegetation damage is very serious.

The day before yesterday, there was a flash flood, followed by a landslide, and a whole mountain wall collapsed, directly burying half of the village.

This situation was very common in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. It was not until the Qianlong period that the local people completely changed their concept and changed a large number of mountainous areas where grain was grown to economic trees. Prior to this, whether it was the government of the Ming Dynasty or the government of the Qing Dynasty, they did not listen to any persuasion, and they had to suffer losses due to frequent disasters before they could be corrected.

As far as his eyes could see, Chen Maosheng saw a wail, countless Hakka people, digging up the mounds of earth and stones, trying to dig out their neighbors and relatives.

A local official said: "Boss, this place must be dredged, otherwise it will rain heavily and it may form a dammed pond." Once the dam pond bursts, the entire downstream will be flooded! ”

Chen Maosheng immediately went back and called the people who were fighting for water some time ago and asked them to see the situation upstream.

Immediately he ordered the upstream and downstream, all the Tuke farmers in the vicinity to be organized.

The forcibly formed peasant union organizations played a huge role at this time. The peasant association organized the villagers, and several village chiefs were responsible for mobilizing materials, and more than 4,000 people quickly began to work, completely leaving behind the previous contradictions and grudges.

After explaining the truth clearly, no one dares to slack off, because it is about everyone's net worth and life.

Of course, without official leadership, it is estimated that the next village will just sit idly by. Someone has to stand up and be convinced by both forces to bring them together.

Light rain began to fall in the sky again, and the rain gradually became heavier.

"Boss, the umbrella is here." A clerk held an umbrella for Chen Maosheng.

Chen Maosheng threw away the umbrella: "The people here are all working in the rain, what do I say when I hold an umbrella alone?" You go and urge you to eat, don't let people work for half a day, and in the end they won't even have a hot meal! ”

Immediately, Chen Maosheng commanded again: "Dig over there first, don't let the torrent accumulate!" ”

The flag of the peasant association was quietly planted on the mound of soil, not fluttering in the wind, but constantly beaten by the rain, surrounded by people digging and digging stones in the rain.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, another mountain collapsed.

Villagers working nearby fled, but several were still buried alive.

"Dig people, dig people!"

Chen Maosheng shouted.

Dozens of people rushed over, and there was no distinction between local and guest, and quickly dug and moved stones. Three people were dug out in a row, and all of them had already choked.

"There's still gas, there's still gas here!"

The fourth man was very lucky, and a large boulder rolled next to him, leaving enough space for the gap. He was even slightly injured all over his body, and he was only in a coma for a short time due to lack of oxygen.

It was enough to save one, and everyone cheered.

The village chiefs of the upstream and downstream villages led the women and girls to bring the freshly prepared meals.

"Afterlife, eat first." A middle-aged woman hands a clay bowl to a young man.

"Thank you, auntie."

The young man took the rice bowl and blurted it out, only then did he realize that the woman was speaking Hakka.

Both sides were a little embarrassed, smiled at each other, and walked away.

Before it was time, everyone didn't wear rain gear. Two village chiefs remembered it, so they also sent a large number of robes and hats, and at this time they didn't care about the difference between men and women. Let the women who deliver the food help to put on the young men who are working while everyone is eating.

When they saw the women, they each looked for each other and walked around with their robes and hats. Chen Maosheng suddenly shouted: "When is it, you are still separated from relatives and close away, which one is not working hard for everyone?" ”

After finishing in Jiangxi dialect, Chen Maosheng shouted in Hakka again.

His Hakka dialect is really lame, and many of the tones are wrong, but everyone can barely understand it.

The women finally let go of their prejudices and put clothes on the people around them and put them in their pockets, regardless of whether the other party had a feud with them.

Chen Maosheng also put on a hat and squatted by the river to eat.

Suddenly, a county government soap official rushed over in the rain and shouted excitedly: "Chen Zhangsi, Chen Zhangsi, Mrs. is born, she is a daughter!" ”

Chen Maosheng stood up with the bowl in his hand, looked at the situation behind him, and said to the soap officer: "Go back and tell Madame, I will go back to see her in a few days." If you haven't eaten yet, you can go and fill your stomach by yourself. ”

The soapman was stunned, nodded and said, "I'm going to eat." ”

The surrounding people all looked at Chen Maosheng at the moment, didn't say a word, filled their stomachs and went to work separately.

It was only at this moment that they really recognized this official, and felt that it was different from those who were officials before. This is his own person, not a high-ranking official.

……

The surrounding area of Ganzhou Fucheng is also in the flood fighting and rescue, due to the drought for half a year, it is very upstream and has not been greatly affected.

The first to be tested was Wan'an County, where the water of the Suichuan River flowed into the Ganjiang River, causing the water level of the Ganjiang River to soar.

Although Ouyang Shu, the magistrate of the county, was born in a big family, he was able to stand out and govern a county, which naturally had his advantages. Two days before the arrival of the flood peak, he had already sensed that something was wrong, summoned officials in advance to build the embankment, and notified the county mayor and the peasant association to get ready.

There is no danger, Wan'an County has only been flooded with some riverside farmland.

Further downstream, in Taihe County, the flood pressure has doubled. Not only are there several rivers flowing in, but the county seat is built on a sharp bend in the Gan River, which is very prone to embankment failure.

Not only did the peasant associations organize the peasants to go out, but the residents of the entire county town came to help.

Due to the sharp decline in the population of Taihe County caused by the anti-thieves, many people in this county have moved from various counties, including one-third of the residents in the county are outsiders. The relocation of the people was a complex project, and there were many chaotic situations among them, but officials at all levels, from county magistrates, town chiefs to village heads, were tempered.

It can be said that even if Taihe County did not launch a peasant association, these officials alone would be able to respond quickly.

Taihe County was also in danger, but more riverside farmland was flooded.

In addition to protecting the county seat, it is also necessary to organize the government and the people to go to the countryside to help the peasants. Help the riverside farmers to evacuate and rescue the people trapped in the water.

Zhao Han's Ji'an Mansion City, that is the real danger, from Taihe County to here, into three more big rivers!

The officials, civilians, and military were all dispatched, and Zhao Han wore a hat and sat directly on the dock.

The meaning is very clear, if he can't stop the flood, he will be washed away by Zhao Han.

Two-thirds of the entire Ji'an Prefecture is outside the city, and there are many official yamen in the city, and sixty or seventy percent of the residents live outside the city. It must not be flooded here, otherwise the damage will be incalculable.

The shops are the most active, the government sends people to recruit people, the bosses encourage the guys to sign up, and there are additional incentives for salary photos. When the flood came in, their shops were all finished, and their mood was as eager as Zhao Han's.

The students of Bailuzhou Academy have been moved to the city in advance, and the place is too easy to be flooded, and the academy has been destroyed several times because of floods.

Many scholars from big clans neither worked for Zhao Han nor fled their hometowns. So they have an ostrich mentality, hiding in Bailuzhou Academy all day long to study, and they are called researching knowledge, but in fact, they are unwilling to face reality.

They took up residence in several inns, observing the situation outside through the windows.

I saw hundreds of people, bringing dirt from the outskirts of the city. Some pick, some lift, some carry, and some push with a trolley. The palanquin drivers who usually work in the city to earn hard-earned money, as well as those dock coolies, and many low-level people who work hard, have become the main force to carry the soil.

The grain merchants donated a large number of sacks, all of which were used to hold grain, which are now used as sandbags to build embankments.

There weren't so many sacks of dirt, so they used strips to weave bamboo cages.

Very simple bamboo cage, sparse lattice, novice can quickly learn. The craftsmen near the city of Fucheng made a large number of strips, and the government sent people to transport them outside the city, and many women and the elderly learned and made them.

All the soldiers in Fucheng were dispatched, including Zhao Han's personal guards.

At this time, if there are villains, they can easily sneak into Zhao Han's inner house, and they can also easily approach Zhao Han himself.

However, even the spies sent by the government have joined the flood fighting team at this moment and are doing what they can.

Fei Rulan came forward to gather the women of the city to deliver food and food to the flood fighters on the front line. At this moment, he was wearing a hat and a coat, shuttling through the embankment to ask for warmth, cheering for the officers and soldiers fighting the flood.

Wang Tiaoding observed all this silently, and suddenly said to the scholars beside him: "Isn't this the Holy Lord? If this person is not the king, who in the world can do it? ”

The crowd was silent, speechless.

Most of the floods in Ji'an Province have been abandoned outside the city. After the flood receded, the prefect came forward to persuade the big families to donate money and grain, and then repaired the stone embankment by the river.

No official has ever been able to mobilize the people in such a way to fight the flood.

Wang Tiaoding pointed to Fei Rulan, who was running on the embankment: "This mother is also a person in the world!" ”

A Xiucai named He Qiliang suddenly said: "Gentlemen, today I know that there is really a Lord of Wisdom, and I am willing to serve him." Although Bailuzhou Academy is good, it is better to go out of the mountains to relieve the common people. Goodbye! ”

He Qiliang left the inn and walked towards the embankment in the rain, and after a short time, more than 20 scholars followed.

These people came to Zhao Han's side and brushed their hands together.

He Qiliang asked: "Sir, we all want to serve, please send an errand from Sir." ”

Zhao Han got up and bowed back: "You can go to the government to listen to the arrangement." ”

All the scholars made another move, and went to the direction of the government office.
