Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 396
The typhoon roared through the streets of Qiongzhou, and all outdoor operations were forced to suspend.In front of nature, human power is always small.

A typhoon came crazily, directly wiped out Qiongzhou's trade income in the first half of the year, and caused more than 1000 people to disappear and die.

After the typhoon, local officials from various prefectures and counties looked at Qiongzhou after the typhoon passed. Many people fell to their knees, covered their faces and began to cry.

Yazhou and Wanzhou, which were once the most prosperous, were the hardest hit this time. Most of the deaths and missing persons occurred in these two states.

Zuo Fu rushed to the front line of the disaster area immediately.

The collapse of a large area of ​​houses caused many people to lose not only their homes but also their relatives overnight.

The construction of Qiongzhou in recent years has mainly focused on roadbed construction and city defense.In addition, there are literacy classes in various states and counties, the construction of primary hospitals, docks, and ports.

As for the houses in the city, except for the rectification in Qiongshan, most of them have not been rebuilt.This is the case in the inner city, not to mention the construction of the countryside outside the city.

Although everyone has made money, it is difficult to hire people to build houses due to the shortage of labor.In the face of the wages offered by the yamen, no one is willing to put down the money-making work in their hands to build their own houses.

As a result, the typhoon that landed from Yazhou and other places caused the current tragedy.

The corpses were wrapped in white cloth. According to the latest popular science book on epidemic prevention, these people were not allowed to be buried and had to be cremated together.

People's lives have changed a lot in the past few years, and Zuo Fu is the incarnation of God in their hearts. Although they are conflicted in their hearts, they always feel that Zuo Fu will not deceive everyone.

The book on epidemic prevention was written by Zuo Fu. The cause of the plague after the catastrophe was that the corpses were not cremated in time.Moreover, if these people who died unexpectedly were not purified by fire, they would go to hell after death.

Everyone can see Master Zuo's miraculousness, and what she says can never be wrong.Although there is an instinctive resistance in their hearts to burn their family members' corpses, but thinking about Mr. Zuo's words, they are still willing to cooperate with the government to cremate people, put them in ceramic jars, and bury them deeply before erecting a tombstone.

Tents, instant noodles, mineral water, bedding and quilts were handed out. The arrival of Zuo Fu revived the spirits of the victims and the local magistrate.As if they had found their backbone, the victims gradually calmed down after watching the piles of materials being brought in, and joined the rescue and relief team to start searching for missing persons and demolishing dangerous houses.

The intensity of this typhoon has surpassed that of the past. Although Zuo Fu is a modern person with golden thighs like Taobao, but before there are no satellites in the sky and he has not mastered satellite remote sensing technology, typhoons are unpredictable.

In fact, before this, Zuo Fu had ordered the local officials to do a good job in typhoon prevention every year during the typhoon season.For example, during the typhoon season, people are allowed to migrate to the interior as much as possible, away from the coast, and a certain amount of vacant houses are squeezed out in each state and county to let people live for free.

It's just that although there are decrees, the progress of this work has been slow due to labor shortages.The damage caused by the super typhoon this time made Zuo Fu and a group of officials realize that this work must be done in advance.In the face of natural disasters, human power is too small.

The people in Qiongzhou are different from the past. In the eyes of these officials, the death of one person means the lack of labor force and more financial burden.

This work must be arranged in front of all projects, and we must first concentrate on building resettlement houses during the annual typhoon season.

Zuo Fu looked at the people who lost their relatives one by one, and his heart was extremely heavy.Although she has been an official for several years, she is obviously still inexperienced.The climate and environment of each place are different. In the face of nature, if human beings want to keep more fire, they must think ahead and make every aspect perfect to reduce losses.There is no room for delay in such matters.

This time, the lives of more than 1000 people dealt a heavy blow to Zuo Fu and Qiongzhou officials.

They were obsessed with their political achievements before, and they were a little inflated, but now a typhoon can wipe away their half-year trade income.

And how much is Qiongzhou's half-year trade income?
More than 400 million taels of silver! !

There is so much money to be invested in the direct losses caused by the disaster and the post-disaster reconstruction and appeasement work!
This lesson is too painful!
No one can laugh anymore.

They settled the refugees and immediately had a meeting.In response to this disaster, everyone conducted self-criticism, and Zuofer also conducted self-reflection. In the end, everyone unanimously decided to remove the orders, suspend all road construction and urban construction, give priority to post-disaster reconstruction, and then build resettlement houses in various states during the typhoon season.

The days got busy again.

The news of the emperor's wedding didn't depress Zuo Fu.When she came to Qiongzhou, she already understood what was insurmountable between the two.Although I was still a little sad after hearing the news, when a typhoon landed, all my emotions were blown away by the typhoon.

She has to focus more on her work.Otherwise, she would be sorry for the trust these people placed in her.

The love between children is too exhausting in the end.

All kinds of slogans were posted everywhere, and supplies were transported from Qiongshan to the disaster-stricken counties in a steady stream.

Fortunately, the weather in Qiongzhou has been good in the past few years. With the promotion of various high-yielding species in Qiongzhou, the grain depots are always full of grain.Moreover, in order to cope with the increasing amount of food and possible natural disasters, many new grain depots were built, all of which were built in safer central areas.

In this disaster, these grain depots were not damaged, so the victims do not have to worry about having no room to eat.With the development of sea trade, Zuofu now sells not only antiques but also gold to Taobao.

In fact, most of the things she sells to Taobao now are handicrafts from various countries and ethnic groups.These things become antiques when sold on Taobao, and because they are handicrafts of ethnic minorities or small countries, they have relatively high archaeological value and can be sold at a better price.

This is more expensive than selling gold.

Besides these, she also trades all kinds of timber with overseas, which can be sold at a very high price on Taobao, and she is not allowed to destroy the timber vegetation in Hainan at will.

Therefore, these years, she has sufficient funds in Taobao, and Qiongzhou officials have consciously erased part of the silver from the account.They know that Zuofu's things don't come for nothing, and the gods in the sky will not reward you with things for no reason, they all have to be bought with money.

Sufficient funds and sufficient food dilute the cruelty of the disaster, and the people quickly came out of their grief and began to rebuild their homes.

After the typhoon passed, Qiongzhou became hot again.

Time soon entered September, and with the changes in Yazhou and other places, when the pain was slowly erasing, someone came to the court.

The emperor is getting married!

In order to share this joy, the Son of Heaven asked someone to make special candy and wedding cakes for Duke Zhen!And there was a young man with a prominent background who came with the wedding candy...
