Chapter 540 Disaster Relief, County Honors Are Always On The Front Line

Time flies, and the whole of Lantian is busy and busy. Everyone shuttles among the ruins to rescue victims. After the initial panic, the entire Lantian people have shown unprecedented unity and united as one to fight the earthquake and disaster relief. .

With the unity of the people and the immediate response of the Lantian government, the disaster was quickly and effectively brought under control, and the news was sent to Li Chaosheng, the Lantian county government, immediately.

Gu Zi stayed in the telegraph room all the time, watched the telegrams come together, and finally sent the disaster situation initially summarized by Lantian to Li Chaosheng's desk.

When Li Chaosheng saw that the worst disaster was Lantian County, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw the earthquake, even the reinforced brick-concrete buildings in Lantian County collapsed, Li Chaosheng felt that the disaster was worse than he had imagined. After all, Lantian County is the most prosperous place in Lantian, and houses have collapsed here. The situation in the countryside is not worse, especially some people live in the same kind of mud as before. How could that kind of house be spared under the current earthquake?

Every time I think of this, Li Chaosheng is very worried. After waiting in the office for these two hours, Li Chaosheng is very anxious. This time, when Guzi reported that the most severely affected place in Lantian is Lantian City, Li Chaosheng finally put it down slightly. Come on.

"Xianzun, our Lantian City was the hardest hit this time. According to statistics in the city just now, there are more than 20 collapsed houses, but most of them are old and small left over from the past, and because the earthquake occurred during the daytime, people ran away. It was relatively timely, only more than a hundred people were injured, and more than [-] people died. The direct economic loss did not exceed [-] silver dollars."

Li Chaosheng nodded. He felt that today's earthquake was about magnitude five, and probably less than magnitude six. If it was like the one in Tangshan and Wenchuan in later generations, the loss during the day would be incalculable.

"What about outside the city?"

Li Chaosheng asked about the situation outside the city at this time. He saw a house collapsed outside the city today.

Guzi heard this and said: "Reporting to the county lord, the situation outside the city is better than inside the city. Only a few hundred mud houses that were ready to be demolished collapsed, and during the earthquake, all the people went to the ground, and no casualties occurred. I also want to thank the county lord. In order to keep the people warm in the winter, the county lord spent money to consolidate the old dilapidated houses of the poor households in Lantian. Because of the timely consolidation, none of the houses we consolidated in winter collapsed in this disaster, so the injuries continued. lightened."

Li Chaosheng said: "That's good, I didn't expect that the unintentional act at the beginning would actually save the lives of ordinary people at this time."

"However, the county, our factory has suffered damage, especially the five earliest blast furnaces in the steel factory collapsed, and a large part of the factory area was destroyed. Fortunately, those factory areas are warehouses for stockpiling goods. If If it hits the steelmaking furnace of the steelmaking plant, we will lose a lot."

Li Chaosheng nodded and said, "Those old chimneys are indeed old, and it's normal for them to fall into disrepair after a long period of time. There's no need to make a fuss, just tell the factory to fix it as soon as possible."

"I know the county lord."

"In addition, several houses in the academy also collapsed. Fortunately, there are no problems in the laboratory, the experimental equipment is also safe, and there are no casualties."

"As for other areas, except for a few villages and towns closest to Lantian County, only a slight tremor was felt in the distance, and no large-scale collapse occurred, let alone casualties."

"Now the chiefs of the districts have organized the militia to impose martial law on the local area, and resolutely crack down on those who have evil intentions to take advantage of the disaster in Lantian to sabotage the interior of Lantian. The above is the information collected today."

Li Chaosheng heaved a long sigh of relief after hearing this, and his heart was relieved today. Fortunately, God took care of him, and Lantian was not destroyed in this catastrophe.

Li Chaosheng thought to Guzi and said, "Come on, let's go to the street to see the situation."

"Yes."

Gu Zi responded, and immediately followed Li Chaosheng outside. Li Chaosheng went up to the Yuxian Tower. The earthquake in the Yuxian Tower was not greatly affected. After discussion with the senior workers of the Lantian Construction Department, Yuxian Building was also built according to the landmark building of Lantian.

A large mortise and tenon structure is adopted as a whole, and mechanical analysis is carried out. Finally, it is concluded that there will be no major problems in Yuxian Tower for earthquakes below magnitude [-].

Li Chaosheng went to the Yuxian Tower, not because he wanted to eat, but mainly because it was high enough to have a glimpse of the situation in Lantian.

Li Chaosheng was standing on the Yuxian Tower, and the sunset had already come out at this time, and he saw that the rich and beautiful Lantian in the past has changed beyond recognition, especially the old residential area on the left of Lantian. When Li Chaosheng built Lantian City, it was shelved because it cost too much to rebuild the old city.

At this time, the walls collapsed and the houses collapsed there, which was terrible, but the newly built new urban areas, especially near the commercial area, did not seem to have been hit too hard, and the houses built in that area were all frame structures. When, earthquake resistance is also one of the important indicators.

Li Chaosheng took a look at the situation here, and then went down the Yuxian Tower. Li Chaosheng wanted to go to the old city to express condolences immediately.

Soon Li Chaosheng came to the old city, and saw that the medical tent of the field hospital had been set up here, and there were more than a hundred people receiving treatment, their wounds had been bandaged, and they were taking decoction at this time. In addition, humming is added.

"Oops~"

Li Chaosheng walked all the way, and saw that military tents had been set up nearby, and the people in the tents who had no place to live because of the collapsed houses curled up in the tents.

There are also people who are unwilling to curl up in the tents, so they all get up and search in the ruins of their own homes to see if there are any people who were crushed in the ruins and were not rescued, or to pick up some things that were not so badly damaged. See if it can still be used.

After all, the disaster is over, and people have to go on living.

Li Chaosheng continued to advance to the depths of the old city, and found that there were still people rescued here. The rescuers were the security forces of Lantian City, that is, the senior militiamen selected by Lantian City. Running over, Li Chaosheng saw that it was Shi Xiaolei.

"Xianzun, why are you here?"

Li Chaosheng looked at Shi Xiaolei and said, "Why did you come here?"

Shi Xiaolei said: "Didn't you ask me to find the worst-affected place? After searching around, I finally found that this is the worst-affected place, so I came here."

Li Chaosheng heard the words, "What's the situation now?"

Shi Xiaolei heard the words: "The search is almost done, and the second search is in progress, don't miss any one."

Li Chaosheng said: "That's right."

"Hurry up, there's something alive here."

Just as Li Chaosheng was about to say a few more words, he heard someone yelling all over his body. Li Chaosheng said, "Hurry up and save people."

After speaking, he took the lead and ran over. When he arrived here, Li Chaosheng found that under the ruins of a house, there was a baby crying, and the sound was already very weak.

No wonder it wasn't found at first, the baby didn't know if it was knocked out or something, it probably just woke up, but luckily Shi Xiaolei and the others conducted a second search, otherwise the baby would have died inside.

Li Chaosheng thought about it, and immediately ordered people to move the stone. If the stone was too big, everyone found a pole, and several people worked hard to pry it open. After everything was opened, everyone was moved. Inside was a woman with a baby. , The woman is already dead, but her body is lying on the baby's body, and she used her body to give the baby a living space. This is a great woman.

Seeing this scene, Li Chaosheng stood there in a daze for a long time, saying that women are weak but mothers are strong. Li Chaosheng bent down to pick up the baby girl in the woman's arms, and heaved a long sigh.

Others also carried the woman's body out, but even if they lifted it, the woman's whole body remained in the last posture of supporting the beam, and soon the little nurse came to take the child away from Li Chaosheng's arms.

Li Chaosheng sat on a rock and sighed, "I now understand the mood of the emperor in our capital."

Shi Xiaolei sat aside and said, "Tell us about it."

Li Chaosheng sighed and said: "One second before the earthquake, I was still discussing with Lu Xiangsheng about the future direction of Lantian and what kind of life I would bring to the people of Lantian in the future, but in just a few seconds, The people I cherish have been made into this state by an earthquake, this disaster, I don’t know how long it will take to recover.”

Shi Xiaolei said: "Don't be like this, the county venerable, you are much better than Chongzhen. If this earthquake happened in the capital, the number of deaths would definitely be far more than this. It would take half a year or even longer to recover, but in our Lantian, as long as the county lord speaks According to the order, this ruin will become a brand new residential area in less than a month."

"Don't worry about the magistrate, in fact, as long as you are here, even if this disaster destroys all the houses in Lantian and buries all our achievements over the years, as long as the magistrate is still there, you can capture people's hearts, and as long as people don't let go , within three years, what kind of life do we live now, and what kind of life will we live in the future, even more prosperous than now."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng looked at Shi Xiaolei and said, "You will comfort me."

Shi Xiaolei said: "It's not to comfort the county lord, as long as the county lord is here, Lantian will not perish. County lord, you are Lantian's hope for the future!"

Li Chaosheng listened to Shi Xiaolei's words and remained silent for a long time, but at this moment there was a sudden commotion in the distance, followed by a soldier coming to report: "Xianzun, the people heard that you are coming, so they insist on seeing you."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng said, "See me? Okay, let them come over."

As soon as Li Chaosheng finished speaking, the common people slowly gathered together, all of them disgraced, but they did not forget to come and see the county lord, their hearts had already been hit infinitely, and now they needed Li Chaosheng's comfort, Li Chaosheng is needed to set up the backbone for them.

Seeing this, Li Chaosheng slowly stood up on the big rock, looked at the people who were slowly gathering, and said, "My fellow villagers, I am Li Chaosheng."

As soon as the words Li Chaosheng came out, it was as if there was magic power. For a moment, everyone stopped talking and just looked at the man in front of them quietly.

"Just now we experienced a turnaround. In this disaster, we lost our homes, were injured, and some even lost their relatives."

Said that someone was crying faintly here, Li Chaosheng paused and said: "But we can't be overthrown by a disaster, don't be afraid, Lantian government, I, Li Chaosheng, will always be your strong backing, nothing can't be overcome, everything will get better."

"Our government will be responsible for rebuilding the collapsed houses, and our government will treat the injured people. On behalf of the government, I, Li Chaosheng, make a promise to everyone. We will let everyone bid farewell to the disaster as quickly as possible and live a normal life. In the end, I hope that everyone will not give up hope, as long as we are united, there will be nothing we can't resist, as long as I, Li Chaosheng, will not let everyone freeze and starve."

After Li Chaosheng said this, the next moment the people spontaneously applauded, and at this moment someone shouted from a distance: "Come quickly, dinner is served."

After hearing this, the group of people looked at the meal in the distance, and then at Li Chaosheng. They didn't know if it was polite to abandon Li Chaosheng to eat, but Li Chaosheng smiled and said, "It's just right, I'm hungry too, so I'll try it too." Eat your supper."

Speaking of which, Li Chaosheng took the lead in going over to get dinner.

"County Honor?"

The person serving the meal was quite surprised to see Li Chaosheng, and Li Chaosheng smiled and said, "What's wrong, you're not welcome?"

The man heard this and said: "How is it possible."

As he spoke, he gave Li Chaosheng a large bowl of stewed pork with cabbage and tofu, and then gave Li Chaosheng two steamed buns. Li Chaosheng returned one and said, "One is enough. If you can't eat it, don't waste it."

After taking a steamed bun and a bowl of vegetables, Li Chaosheng sat down on a rock and began to eat. When the people saw Li Chaosheng eating a big pot of vegetables with everyone, they were all moved beyond measure.

"Hurry up and eat, everyone, and go to bed when you are full. Tomorrow morning, we will clean up the ruins and rebuild our home with the county magistrate."

"Oh!"

Everyone started to eat in unison. Li Chaosheng looked at the high spirits of the people and couldn't help laughing: "Disasters cannot defeat the people. As long as the hearts of the people are still there, this disaster is nothing."

As Li Chaosheng said, he ate it with big mouthfuls. Although the cabbage, tofu and pork tasted very ordinary, Li Chaosheng ate it deliciously, and when Li Chaosheng ate deliciously, the county office was full of people, mainly two people. On the one hand, the first is from the Political Department of Lantian, headed by Guo Bao, they have important matters to report to Li Chaosheng, and the other part is the political commissar of Lantian, Yang Shubai who is in charge of public opinion in Lantian.

The two of them paced back and forth in Li Chaosheng's office with their subordinates, very anxious. At this time, the soldiers who stayed behind saw that the two did not know how to deal with them. Guo Bao even asked directly: "When will the magistrate come back? If there is an emergency, report to the county lord."
