The group pet prince is a full-scale boss

Chapter 188 Reconstruction
When Bai Mengjin decided to follow Song Yucheng to Sichuan, she made arrangements. She asked Feng San to inform the steward of Xiaoxiangyuan, and ordered a dozen ships to wait in Chizhou.

Xiaoxiangyuan has businesses in Dazhao, Jurchen, Xixia, and even Mongolia, especially the Yangtze River Shipping, which is also controlled by a sub-rudder under Xiaoxiangyuan, and there are countless advanced ships underneath.

Bai Mengjin's newly designed ship has a large load capacity and fast sailing speed. Even if it is going upstream, the speed is much faster than other ships. It must be more convenient to transport so many supplies by water.

A group of people traveled by land from Lin'an to Chizhou, then changed to a large ship, went upstream along the Yangtze River, and went straight to Chongqing Mansion upstream.

After arriving in Chongqing Mansion, he stopped to rest and rectify, and sent someone to inquire about Song Yucheng in Sichuan.

Song Yucheng had already arrived in Sichuan a few days in advance, and went to various places to check the disaster situation.

The earthquake was indeed serious, especially when the main shock occurred in the middle of the night. Many people were still asleep and were crushed by collapsed rocks or houses without knowing anything.

The epicenter was quite far from Fucheng. Although Fucheng was also affected, and many houses were destroyed and cracked, overall the casualties in Fucheng were relatively small.

Immediately after the earthquake, Meng Qishan dispatched personnel to check, and mobilized the army to rescue in the disaster area.

However, such a serious geological disaster, even in the era when Baimengji was so developed in the previous life, it was very difficult to rescue, let alone at this time, people buried underground basically have no survivors hope.

What can be done is to quickly transfer and resettle the survivors to avoid secondary damage caused by aftershocks.

Shuzhong was too far away from the capital, and when Song Yucheng arrived in Shuzhong, it had been nearly [-] days since the earthquake, and the situation in Shuzhong was very bad.

For those people buried underground, some of them can be rescued at the superficial level, and there is no need to even think about the deep ones.

The rescued victims were placed in several places outside the Chengdu government. Although the weather was very warm at this time, there was no need to worry about the cold for the people, but it was not enough for so many people to sleep in the open air.

In addition, there was not enough food, and there was also a shortage of doctors and medicinal materials. Many injured patients could not receive treatment, and those who were weak could not survive, and many people fell ill.

The hearts of the victims were flustered, and many people began to run away secretly.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I have really tried my best. Several granaries under the jurisdiction of Chengdu Mansion have been opened to help the victims. However, there are too many victims and the amount of food consumed every day is huge. I really can't afford it in the long run.

Now Sichuan is full of devastation, and the victims have nowhere to go and have nowhere to go. Many people have already started to flee elsewhere. The officials are afraid of causing civil uprisings, so they can only order people to watch them closely. "

After seeing Song Yucheng, Meng Qishan took the initiative to plead guilty without waiting for Song Yucheng to question him.

"Your Majesty Meng doesn't need to be like this. You can see how the disaster is when you travel along a certain road. Your Majesty Meng has already done his best, so I don't blame you."

The earthquake is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster. In the face of such a large-scale natural disaster, the manpower is really small. The earthquake has occurred for so many days, and the situation in central Sichuan can be stabilized for the time being. It has proved that Meng Qishan is still very capable.

It’s just that there is no overall coordination and deployment, and the neighboring roads, prefectures, and prefectures cannot actively respond and cooperate. How can they save themselves only by relying on the severely affected Chengdu Fulu?

This is also the reason why Song Yucheng came here in person. With him in place, allocating supplies and coordinating the resettlement of the victims, officials from all over the place would not dare to stand by and stay out of the matter. Only in this way can the victims be resettled as soon as possible to avoid stirring up civil uprisings.

"When I came here, I passed by several prefectures, states, and counties, and ordered local officials to collect supplies as soon as possible to send them over, and there are also supplies from the capital city behind.

Please rest assured, Mr. Meng, the imperial court will not sit idly by, as long as the people in Shuzhong are united, they will surely overcome the difficulties. "

Song Yucheng's attitude was very good, and his gentle smile had the power to stabilize people's hearts. He didn't criticize anyone harshly, so he could only comfort him, which relieved all the officials in the government office.

In fact, what these officials have done is not bad, and they have done a lot of things before there is no imperial order to stabilize the situation as much as possible.

If you encounter those who don't do anything, I'm afraid that central Sichuan and nearby counties are already full of refugees and chaos everywhere.

After Song Yucheng arrived in Shuzhong, he did not put on airs as a prince, nor did he ask the officials of Shuzhong to be held accountable. Instead, he discussed with everyone how to guide the victims to rebuild their homes with a good attitude.

A group of officials in Central Shu saw that His Highness the Crown Prince was so approachable, shrewd, capable and decent in dealing with affairs. They respected the Crown Prince very much, and were willing to obey the Prince's arrangements and actively cooperate.

The work of resettling the victims and post-disaster reconstruction was complicated. While discussing with the officials in central Sichuan to formulate policies, Song Yucheng posted notices to appease the people.

When the victims learned that the imperial court had sent His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and that a lot of food and supplies would be delivered one after another, the victims felt relieved.

If it is not a last resort, who is willing to leave their hometown and flee elsewhere?Since the imperial court photographed His Highness the Crown Prince, it means that the imperial court attaches great importance to it.

Seeing the hope, everyone naturally refused to leave, so they all stayed and obeyed the arrangement of the government.

The food allocated from the surrounding areas arrived soon, and Bai Mengjin also came with his people, and people from all walks of life gathered together to start the reconstruction and self-rescue work of the disaster area in an all-round way.

Song Yucheng and the others formulated a method of work-for-relief and local resettlement to arrange for the victims. In places that were slightly affected by the disaster, the victims directly returned to their hometowns for resettlement.

The government government sent soldiers to help repair the house, reorganize the fields, and strive to resume production as soon as possible and be self-sufficient.

The severely affected areas were temporarily unable to return to their hometowns for resettlement, so they adopted the method of work-for-relief. The young and old went to repair the city walls, houses, bridges and roads, and the government provided food and returned some wages.

The elderly, weak, sick and disabled were handed over to Bai Mengjin and the doctors who came from the Huimin Department to take care of them intensively and try to restore them to health as soon as possible.

At the same time, Bai Mengjin is also responsible for the prevention and control of the epidemic. After this catastrophe, there will be a catastrophe, so we have to take precautions carefully to avoid secondary disasters and panic.

Post-disaster resettlement and reconstruction is by no means a simple talk. There are many kinds of work, and each item must be sorted out and properly arranged.

Song Yucheng and Bai Mengjin stayed up until late at night every day before they could rest. They were so tired that they could fall asleep when they lay down.

Fortunately, the crown prince Song Yucheng was in charge, supervising the deployment, and the relief supplies from the court and the central government were also delivered one after another. In addition, the people in central Sichuan were united as one, and the post-disaster reconstruction proceeded in an orderly manner.

Three months later, most of the victims have been resettled, and production has resumed in many places.

Bai Mengjin also brought over high-yield grains such as corn, sweet potatoes, and yams, and distributed them to the local people for free to plant, so as to ensure that the people would have enough food for the winter.

"Your Highness, princess, it's not good, something happened in the capital."

That evening, Bai Mengjin and Song Yucheng finally went back to the post station to rest early, but Zisu ran in with Li Jiaerlang who was still injured.
