Chapter 79 Binh Thuan Prefecture Disaster Relief Guide

It was getting late, and this was the only time the refugees in Binh Thuan Province had a good night's sleep for a long time.

After they woke up, the court handed out another bowl of sweet potato porridge. The sweet taste seemed to be enough to penetrate into the soul.

The moonlight is hazy, but it is better than the stars.

Xu Youxi didn't rest much either, and ordered the imperial guards to set up a platform outside the government office of Pingshun Prefecture. All the available shelves nearby were moved to the platform, and lanterns and torches were hung up for lighting. More and more people were summoned here. more.

"People of Pingshun Prefecture, I am the governor Li Si who is in charge of disaster relief for Pingshun Prefecture on behalf of the Dagan court."

Xu Youxi raised his voice as much as possible so that all the people could hear: "Although the flood is merciless, our fields are submerged and there may be no harvest; our houses are in jeopardy and cannot be continued to live in."

"On behalf of the Dagan court, I will make three promises to all the people. First, no one will go hungry because of the flood; second, everyone will have a place to live in the near future; You want to live in a treasured land of Fengshui!"

Under the night, even the sound of the wind became cautious, and the refugees from Binh Thun Mansion behaved extraordinarily obediently, everyone stayed where they were and listened carefully.

Xu Youxi's voice has been turned up to the maximum, and it is almost in the state of shouting.But after all, there were too many people coming here, as long as there was any noise from below, Xu Youxi's voice would be covered immediately.

"The government office is located on the north side of the entire Binh Thuan prefecture. We use it as the dividing line. One side is used as farmland, and the other side is used to build our own houses and factories."

"The place close to the water flow will use special materials to reshape the embankment for flood control. At the same time, we will dig out the road from the ground to build a unique underground drainage channel in Binh Thuan Province!" Xu Youxi said while pointing to the map of Binh Thuan Province. "With underground drainage, even If there is another flood in the future, the accumulated water will be quickly drawn into the ground, and Binh Thuan Prefecture will not be easily flooded, so our crops and houses will be preserved!"

"Next, assign tasks."

"From tomorrow onwards, the Praetorian Guards will take a group of strong men to clear out the available fields, and at the same time take care of the tasks of building houses and embankments; Meals and food delivery; some people are needed to form a textile factory to weave a large amount of cloth to make clothes for everyone; a few doctors are needed to take care of the injured and sick."

"Pingshun Prefecture will set up a second 'public school' in the government office. You can send all your children here to study. You are responsible for making the future of Binh Thun Prefecture better. The imperial court is responsible for helping you educate your children well. Outstanding!"

"In addition to providing three meals a day, as long as you take the initiative to work, you can get extra rewards. This year, the imperial court exempted all taxes for the disaster-stricken areas, including Binh Thuan Prefecture. As long as everyone earns money, all It's all yours!"

"Next, everyone line up and go to the Imperial Guard one by one, report your name, and tell our Imperial Guard your strengths. For example, do you know how to do carpentry, blacksmithing, or weaving and embroidery? You can talk about flower arrangements, tell us what you can do to change Binh Thuan Province! After that, everyone will go back to the camp to sleep, and get ready for work tomorrow morning!"

After Xu Youxi finished shouting, his voice was already hoarse, and Xu Ling who was standing next to him hurriedly handed over tea: "Xu Ling, arrange for the Imperial Guards to take a good rest tonight and start working tomorrow, so everyone will work hard. Soldiers also receive extra pay."

"The minister obeys the order."

After completing the general plan for the future of Pingshun Mansion, Xu Youxi hurriedly wrote letters to Jiangnan, asking the Jiangnan area to send some of the cultivated 'potato seedlings' to Pingshun Mansion; another letter was sent to Go to Beijing and ask Rong Yingran to arrange for several public school teachers to come to Pingshun Mansion to give lectures. By the way, let him inform Liu Jiye to come to Pingshun Mansion to write an article and inform the world about the situation here.

The amount of cement produced by the "Shengong Bureau" is still not enough, but the "lime factory" near the quarry is basically on the right track, and it will be able to start work soon. By then, the first batch of lime will be sent to Binh Thuan Province.

After Xu Youxi arranged all these things, it was late at night again, and she didn't have much time to stay in Pingshun Mansion, so she had to see with her own eyes that Pingshun Mansion was developing for the better before she returned to Beijing.

Not only does she want to make Binh Shun Mansion better and better, but she also wants to make it a benchmark for disaster relief efforts!
"Relief with work" has never meant to let the people work for food, and then the soldiers will be in charge of commanding and watching the fun!
Instead, mobilize the enthusiasm of the refugees for life through work. With the efforts of all, the local life and production will resume, so that the government will no longer need long-term relief.

Xu Youxi has thought about it himself, planting the first batch of potatoes in July and August this year, a pile of potatoes can be harvested in winter, and by that time Binh Thuan Prefecture will be self-sufficient in grain; women open textile factories, and the extra fabric can be sold outside , and additional economic income.

Based on this calculation, the most difficult period for Binh Shun Prefecture is the first half year. After half a year, when food and money are available, the common people will remember this kindness, and the child will become the future hope of Daqian. I am even more grateful to the country, and there will be a steady stream of new forces for the future.

After Xu Youxi finished her work, she took the time to look at the progress of the other two places.

【Save Luzhou 4/100】

These two places are relatively far from Shangjing. It is estimated that the officials in charge have waited for several days in the past. Although there are no results yet, the progress is moving forward anyway.

For Meng Zhiqian and Bao Changnian, Xu Youxi is quite at ease, not to mention anything else, there is no problem at all in terms of work efficiency and ability.

Now that the fate of the country is not going well, there must be many natural disasters in the future. In the past six months, let the pillars of the court personally give a sample to the civil and military officials. In the future, all officials must follow this standard to provide disaster relief!

It is best to let the people have an idea that natural disasters are not to destroy Daqian, but to allow Dagan to innovate.

Every day after the disaster, the life of the local people is even better!
If this level can be achieved, then no matter how much effort Xu Youxi spends on these three places, it will be worth it!

In the first year of Tianyou, the tenth day of the seventh month.

The busy life of the people in Binh Shun Prefecture gradually started to get on the right track.

The government office in Pingshun Prefecture was transformed into a replica of a "public school" intermittently by several teachers sent by the imperial court. During this period, more than 400 children were successively recruited.

In the team that finished cleaning the farmland, besides men, many women could be seen covering their faces with hats.Originally, they worked during the day and rested at night, but these disaster victims seemed to cherish this opportunity very much. They didn't need to be supervised at all, and they all took the initiative to work until late at night.

Seeing the refugees working so hard, the Imperial Guards were embarrassed to go to rest by themselves, and the whole group was filled with a kind of enthusiasm for 'working hard'.
