Ling Xin'an never thought that when he came to another world, he would have to fight floods and provide disaster relief. Now that emergency reports were coming like snowflakes, he had no choice but to sit in the government office.

Jiangzhou City has jurisdiction over six towns and twenty villages. Almost all villages were flooded. Wherever the floods passed, houses collapsed. The number of people who were killed and injured has yet to be counted. Food was washed away and soaked. Freshly distributed food was washed away and soaked.

seeds and livestock, the whole city of Jiangzhou was wailing.

Ling Xin'an could only mobilize the garrison troops and militia to start participating in rescuing the people. At the same time, he issued an order that no merchants were allowed to hoard food and daily necessities. At the same time, prices were not allowed to increase by 20%. Everything was based on the survival of the people. Anyone who took advantage of the opportunity to increase prices or take advantage of the fire to rob

, once discovered, severe punishment will not be given.

Fortunately, the militia was recruited in advance, which played a huge role at this time. Every township and village sent militia to go to the disaster relief. At the same time, the government opened the granary, and Wangjiang Tower took the lead in giving out porridge and steamed buns to the homeless.

, the winery and vinegar shop stopped brewing, and evenly distributed part of the purchased grain to the affected groups. Seeing this, the three major chambers of commerce did the same and immediately distributed rice grains in front of their own shops, and the Cloth Chamber of Commerce gave away free old clothes to keep out the cold.

, this year is still spring, this rainstorm came without warning and lasted so long that no one expected it.

However, some chambers of commerce took the opportunity to increase prices, and even started to drive up prices. They ignored the government notices. Ling Xinan had no time to deal with them, but he also asked people to collect evidence.

This busy process lasted for more than half a month, until all villages were settled. Materials were sent if there were no supplies, and grains were sent if there was no food. Spring planting was reported to the court again and distributed from the court grain depot.

Yuanzhou, Qingzhou and Ezhou were also affected by the disaster. These three states are not only separated from each other, but they were also flooded during this heavy rain. The people were seriously affected, but the speedy treatment and treatment was far less than that of Jiangzhou City. This is still

Ling Xin'an learned about it afterwards.

Half a month later, everything was finally settled. It was also the beginning of spring planting. Without the heavy rain, the people also started their own annual plans for spring. Even if they lost their houses and family members in the flood, they could still survive.

That's the fundamental thing.

Especially compared with other states, Jiangzhou provided money and food to help the affected people resume spring farming as soon as possible, instead of leaving them to fend for themselves. Ling Xin'an also went to the countryside many times to organize disaster relief and distribute supplies with the militia, but the court was slow to do so.

Before they arrived, it was the government office that took the lead in advancing funds. Suddenly, Ling Xin'an's name was completely resounding among the people, causing refugees from other states to flock outside Jiangzhou City.

Having just properly dealt with the local disaster, Ling Xin'an never thought that there would be an inevitable influx. For a young man who once lived in a prosperous and peaceful era, he really didn't think about refugees, so he looked at the bustling people outside Jiangzhou City for a while.

Refugee, Ling Xin'an was stunned.

"Sir, refugees must not enter the city." Duan Qing and Guo Song said together.

Standing on the city wall, the city guards had blocked the refugees from the city from a distance. Ling Xin'an looked at the scene in front of her. It was really hard to imagine why there were so many refugees in just a heavy rain.

"Do you know where it comes from?" Ling Xin'an asked.

"Sir, most of them are Ezhou people, and a small number are Qingzhou people." Duan Qing said.

Ling Xin'an nodded, these two states are both in the upper reaches of Jiangzhou, and the rainfall should be greater than that of Jiangzhou, so the disaster is naturally more severe than that of Jiangzhou.

Xinzhou and Yuanzhou in the lower reaches of Jiangzhou are not serious. They are far away from the tributaries of the Yangtze River. Even if it rains, they will not be so flooded. Although Huangzhou is also on the edge of the Yangtze River, it is almost parallel to Qingzhou. Qingzhou and Huangzhou

There is just a mountain between the two states. Although it is in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the water of the Yangtze River is detoured, so for thousands of years, Huangzhou has rarely suffered from floods.

"Distribute supplies first, then make arrangements nearby and ask these people if they can join Jiangzhou City." Ling Xin'an thought for a while and said.

Guo Song was immediately startled: "Sir, you must not do this. If the refugees join Jiangzhou City and are not resettled properly, it will easily cause trouble."

Ling Xin'an sighed: "Let's count the number of people first and see how many there are. I think there are only two or three thousand people with their families. Didn't we build a lot outside the city? We voluntarily moved out of the city and there are still some extra houses.

Are you willing to leave? If they want to stay, they will stay."

"But, sir, even if these people are settled and have no food and clothing, there is no guarantee that they will not cause trouble." Guo Song said again.

Ling Xin'an said: "Tell those chambers of commerce to recruit workers. First, recruit these refugees. Then look at the towns and villages around Jiangzhou City to see if there is any wasteland. If anyone is willing, give them some spring seeds and silver coins.

As long as the land reclamation is successful, they will be given household registration in Jiangzhou City, and after the autumn harvest, taxes can be reduced or exempted as appropriate. If there are young people who don't like farming, they will be allowed to join the militia and they will also have a salary."

Duan Qing pondered for a while: "Sir, this is a good policy. What if there is a steady stream of refugees?"

Ling Xin'an sneered and said: "I don't believe that as the capital of Qingzhou, he is not ashamed to come to my territory regardless of the people under his jurisdiction. As for Ezhou, it is adjacent to us. If there are more refugees coming, they will go directly along the road.

Set up obstacles and arrange them on the spot, and the construction in Jiangzhou City must not be delayed."

"Yes, sir!" the two responded quickly.

At this time, Dou Kai's figure appeared at the corner, and he saw the three people and said quickly: "Sir, the refugees below said they want to see you."

Ling Xin'an frowned: "Why?"

Dou Kai said: "Some refugees said they just wanted to meet the adults, nothing more."

Ling Xin'an thought for a while: "Let's go down and have a look."

Opening the city gate, Ling Xin'an walked out of the city wall surrounded by guards. When the refugees saw that the city gate had been opened, they crowded around. The city guards quickly built obstacles to stop the crowd and shouted: "Don't go near the city gate, otherwise you will be killed."

No forgiveness."

As soon as these words came out, the refugees who gathered around were shocked.

Dou Kai shouted: "Master Ling is here. Didn't you say you want to see him? He is here!"

The shouting refugees suddenly became quiet. Looking at Ling Xin'an who appeared in the crowd, he saw him standing in the crowd and slowly said: "Dear fellow citizens, I have made arrangements with Chief Duan. I hope you will not gather here.

.”

"Sir, please save us!" Someone cried and begged tremblingly.

"Everyone, there is no mercy for natural disasters. I will not leave you alone. Chief Duan has already mobilized supplies in the city and they will be distributed to you soon. There is no need to worry."

The refugees heard this and whispered, and someone shouted: "Sir, are you serious?"

"I am the parent official of Jiangzhou, how can I betray my faith?"

"Your Excellency is willing to save us!"

"However, fellow countrymen, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. Although this mansion can temporarily help you tide over the difficulties, what about the future? The imperial court and this mansion cannot support you all the time." Ling Xin'an said something else.

Said.

The refugees immediately became quiet. At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the crowd and said: "Sir, I am from the people of Ezhou, which is adjacent to Jiangzhou. You went to the village to provide disaster relief that day. We are from the next village. When I saw you, sir

You are busy trying to comfort the villagers. We are here today hoping to move to Jiangzhou. Most of the people in our village are here to join the land under your jurisdiction." He pointed.

A large group of people around the rear said.

Ling Xin'an was a little surprised. She looked at the man in front of her and said, "Fellow fellow, do you want to join us in Jiangzhou City?"

"Yes, sir, there are floods in Jiangzhou, Ezhou, and Qingzhou almost every few years. The common people have never seen any government officials come to the village to visit us in person. In the eyes of those adults, the life and death of the common people are basically

They are like weeds and no one cares about them, but when the grassroots people see the villagers under Jiangzhou City, they are grateful to the adults. So the grassroots people want to move the village. They just hope that the adults will give our village a way to survive. We can save ourselves and there is no need for the adults to worry.

.”

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately resonated among the refugees. They all said that in their own villages, they all tried to save themselves. If they had no way to save themselves, they would just watch houses fall down, livestock be washed away, and relatives be separated.

Ling Xin'an and others couldn't be comforted, so they had to say: "I have asked Master Duan to arrange for you to live outside the city. After tomorrow, merchants will go to recruit long-term workers. If you are willing to contribute, Jiangzhou City will not hesitate to do so."

Welcome, if you want to reclaim wasteland with this fellow villager, Director Duan will also make arrangements, so fellow villagers, please do not gather here."

When everyone heard this, they not only beamed, but especially the middle-aged man's face was full of excitement: "Sir, is what you said true?"

"Yes!" Ling Xin'an nodded and said: "If you want to stay in Jiangzhou City, you can do it. As long as you work hard and abide by the laws and regulations, I promise you that you will become Jiangzhou citizens and you will be able to do so by the end of the year."

As soon as these words came out, the refugees instantly raised their hopes and rushed to tell each other. At this time, the city gate opened again, and Duan Qing and Guo Song came out guarding the supplies. Then they began to maintain order and distribute the supplies.

Supplies are constantly being shipped.

When they saw the material relief, the refugees immediately burst into tears of gratitude. Some old people among them slowly knelt down towards Ling Xin'an and murmured to themselves: Master Qingtian, Bodhisattva bless Master Ling and so on.

Ling Xin'an looked at the victims in front of her and smelled the odor on their bodies. It flashed in her mind and she remembered that she had missed the biggest thing. She immediately sent an order to all towns and villages to pay attention to the plague after the disaster and not to drink raw water or raw meat.

, pick up carrion and eat it, dead things on the roadside, bury or burn them on the spot, do not pick them up, to prevent the plague from coming again, go to the local doctor, boil medicine for the people to drink, and dry quilts and the like on sunny days

have to.

Duan Qing recorded Ling Xin'an's detailed requirements in an incredible manner. Looking at Ling Xin'an, he only had admiration in his heart and had no other thoughts.

The gentleman in front of me is really serving the country and the people!

"Secretary Duan, please go and ask Doctor Hua to come over, please!" Ling Xin'an said.
Chapter completed!
