Chapter 560: Natural Disaster
In the second year of the reign of King Qin, there was a great drought in Guanzhong, famine was everywhere, and the famine led to the migration of displaced people, and countless people died in the wilderness where no one lived.
"How can it be so serious?"
The martial arts area where Jiang's family is located has had little rain since spring, and the water level of the nearby rivers is also low, but it has survived, and the grain production has been reduced by a small number.
It's just that before the autumn harvest, many things broke out, and Xianyang only knew that there was a big drought and displacement!
Jiang Anrao looked at Lu Buwei and was a little angry.
"Sister, I didn't handle this well." Lu Buwei saw Jiang Anrao's face, and hurriedly admitted his mistake first.
Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, faced Jiang Anrao, still the same as in the past, and admitted his mistakes first without making excuses. This made Jiang Narao unable to say anything else.
"Zheng Guoqu's matter, either slowly, let's go all out to deal with the disaster first." Lu Buwei thought and said.
When Qin Wangzheng had just succeeded to the throne, Korea sent a waterman named Zheng Guo to Qin State, proposing to build a canal on the north bank of the Jing River to divert Jing Water to the east to inject Luoshui.
This matter was supported by Yang Quanjun at that time, and Lu Buwei thought about it again and again, and felt that this matter could be done. So the Qin State spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources and began to build the Zheng State Canal under the guidance of Zheng Guo. Originally, this should be regarded as a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but it happened to catch up with the great drought and natural disaster this year.
Building a canal is not a trivial matter, especially the Zhengguo Canal has to be built for more than 300 miles, and when the time comes, this project looks like it is going to drag down the rhythm of the Qin State.
Many people have already been asked to write a letter hoping to stop the construction of the Zhengguo Canal.
Lu Buwei has also become angry because of this matter in the past few days, and when he heard Jiang Anrao's tone at this time, his first reaction was that Jiang Anrao meant this.
"No, continue to repair, since it's all started, fix it!"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Narao said so.
"Sister...... But ......"
"Isn't it just money and food? The rich families of Great Qin are much stronger, and since the natural disaster is ahead, they should also have some blood. Next time in the early dynasty, you will issue a decree that you can give you a knight by donating a thousand stones of grain, and those rich families will definitely rush to send you gold and silver! ”
"Huh?" Lu Buwei was stunned, but after thinking about it carefully, this was indeed a trick.
"There are not many people who have grain, they are all in the hands of those nobles and heroes, if you don't knock them at this time, how long will it last. This is on the bright side. As for the side, those who are loyal to Daqin are naturally good, and if they are not good, you can figure it out by yourself. ”
The meaning of these words is also obvious, Zhao, Han, Chu, the elders who all have their hands outstretched, rely on Yingzheng and can't be pro-government, so there are more people who show off their might in Xianyang City.
This effort is just right to clean up a batch, and the right to rob the rich and help the poor!
"Okay! I get it, sister! ”
Lu Buwei listened happily, and the two of them just said it, and they didn't think that Jiang Anrao, an outsider, would reach out and meddle in the politics of the Qin State.
One of them took it for granted, and the other listened to it very reasonably.
"Jiang's family still has some grain, and I also have some gold, you will come to Jiang's house to get it later." First help the victims, and then, if the victims have nowhere to go, hey, the people who build the canals, let them have enough to eat. ”
When Lu Buwei heard this, he nodded, this was to help him think about where to arrange the victims.
There were two kinds of laborers who repaired the Zheng Guoqu, one was the people, that is, the ordinary people who served in ordinary people, and the other was sinners, including traitors and prisoners in the Qin state.
Jiang's family has always opposed the harsh treatment of forced labor, so since Jiang Ruoyang was the right prime minister, they have constantly revised the relevant regulations.
So in fact, the conscription in the Qin State now has a number of years, and although the work of conscription is tiring, there will always be some guarantee of food and clothing.
Even sinners, they will not let their families die without food.
As for the food and other materials that are distributed, the supervision is extremely strict, and when the delivery is carried out layer by layer, it is checked at all levels. There are not many loopholes that can be exploited, and once the deception is discovered, it is a very serious crime.
So over the years, all the people who have handled the money and food have tight skins, but whenever there is a grain under any name, they hate to sleep and stare at it, they are really afraid that something will go wrong and their heads will fall to the ground.
Similarly, as long as you perform well, the rewards will be very generous later.
If you work hard with 12 points, your legitimate rewards will be 12 points rich!
In this way, it will be fair, and those who worry about things will not have no complaints.
Jiang Anrao told Lu Buwei to take care of the money and food for disaster relief, and then talked about epidemic prevention.
When I heard that there were displaced people, my grandfather said that this is going to be bad, and it is easy to have a big epidemic after the catastrophe, and this must be done in advance, otherwise once the plague breaks out, the number of people who die may be 100,000!
This is not a joke, it must be taken seriously in advance.
When the outbreak of drought displaced people broke out, someone delayed, otherwise it would not be so serious, so this time the epidemic prevention must be effectively implemented.
Grandpa is ninety-one, his body is tough, and there is nothing wrong with him, so he packed up his things and planned to help Zhang Luo with epidemic prevention.
In fact, it is not necessary to let grandpa come forward, he has so many apprentices and grandchildren, and it will not be difficult to deal with any one of them.
But grandpa can't be idle.
Like him, there are Jiang's father and Jiang's mother.
The regulations for the relief of the victims were originally formulated by Jiang Ruoyang, and no one knew better than him how to deal with the situation. Grandpa Jiang's mother is the one who helped Qin Guo formulate epidemic prevention regulations, and because of such regulations, Qin Guo has been able to calm down all these years.
But now that the displaced people are migrating, there are already dead people, so there is a real possibility of a large-scale outbreak of the plague at this time. Grandpa Jiang's mother wanted to go to the front line to see, one is that there is a problem, they can find it in time, and the other is to verify whether their regulations are reasonable and effective.
After everyone stopped it to no avail, what Jiang Anrao could do was that the Jiang family raised a large amount of money and materials, and then, together with Wang Yun, she accompanied the three old men to run.
Jiang Anrao is a person who has never really seen any natural disasters, so when he saw it for the first time, he was deeply shocked like all the viewers in the live broadcast room.
Such a picture is more uncomfortable than a war picture.
When faced with a tragic scene in the world, people will suddenly find that in the face of nature, manpower is really too small.
Fortunately, Jiang Anrao's family is busy at the forefront, and there will be a steady supply of manpower, food, medicinal materials, etc.
