Chapter 485 Disaster Relief

At the end of October 1629, a sudden typhoon swept across the Pearl River Estuary from west to east, covering most of the southern areas of Zhaoqing, Guangzhou and Huizhou. According to field observations, the maximum wind force of this typhoon was probably

It has reached about level 12, which has exceeded the natural disaster that Port Victory suffered two years ago - the situation at that time was only a severe tropical storm at best, and the wind was not strong enough to reach the level of a typhoon.

A total of more than a dozen counties and nearly 100,000 people were affected by this typhoon. Xinning, Xinhui, Shunde, Xin'an and other counties at the Pearl River Estuary became the hardest-hit areas, including Hong Kong where the new port is located.

The island is included. The only good thing is that this typhoon just passed through. After a circle at the Pearl River Estuary, it headed towards the southeast sea. Most places were not affected by the typhoon for less than 10 years.

one day.

Since the militia navy discovered the abnormal weather conditions earlier, the new port had more than a day to prepare for disaster prevention and mitigation. Therefore, there were no casualties in this storm, and only a few people were blown away by the wind.

He was slightly injured when something hit him. However, many small boats were pushed ashore directly by the rough waves, causing a certain degree of damage. In addition, most of the houses with thatched roofs had their roofs removed, and six or seven

A private house was knocked upside down and could no longer be inhabited.

Thanks to the adequate preparations beforehand, there were no immediate problems with the local people's food and accommodation after the disaster. The quantity of food and tents was sufficient to supply local needs, and social order was not disrupted under the maintenance of militia groups.

Chen Yixin immediately contacted the Guangdong Office, Panyu and Wanshan Port after the disaster to report the local disaster situation. Guangzhou and Panyu were not directly affected. Wanshan Port received the warning early and made corresponding preparations. The losses

It is also within the controllable range. However, the Guangdong Office has prepared manpower, ships and rescue supplies. If the disaster here is serious, Guangzhou will immediately send a rescue fleet south.

Compared with the weaker storm that landed in Victory Port two years ago, this typhoon caused less damage to the areas controlled by Haihan. The damage that You Yihan had previously worried about did not appear after the disaster.

, it only took the interim management committee half a day to get the local construction work back to normal rhythm.

However, this is only the situation in the area under Haihan's rule. The experience of other disaster-stricken areas after the disaster was not so good. Many states and counties experienced house collapse, casualties, and property damage during this typhoon.

, and the local government’s post-disaster rescue and relief work seemed somewhat weak and chaotic.

On the second day after the disaster, the immigration camp in Lijiazhuang, Panyu welcomed the first batch of victims seeking help. These people all lived near Panyu and knew that the immigration camp set up by the Haihan people here would take in helpless poor people. Although these people

Most of them just come to ask for some relief food and may not choose to join the naturalized community. However, Sha Xi, the temporary director of the immigration camp, still sets up a tent to provide porridge. As long as the victims come for help, they can get at least a piece of food to survive.

This crowd reached its first peak three days later. A large number of victims who lost food and property after the disaster and were unable to receive timely assistance from the government flocked to Panyu County from surrounding areas, forming a crowd outside Lijiazhuang.

Xiao Liang and Yu Yao had to urgently lead the armed personnel under the Guangdong Office and the security guards of the "Golden Shield Escort" to Panyu to maintain local order.

On the fifth day after the disaster, more than 4,000 victims gathered near Lijiazhuang. This number was even several times greater than the number of victims who went to Guangzhou for help. In the past few years, once a local area suffered a natural disaster, a large number of people often flocked to the disaster area.

Ask Guangzhou City for help, and now this behavior is changing subtly. People are losing patience and trust little by little for the Guangdong government that has failed to provide disaster relief, and Haihan happened to appear in Guangdong during the years when disasters were most concentrated.

, and played a positive image of sparing no effort to save the people. Such performance allowed Haihan to gradually gain a good reputation among the people. When natural disasters come again, the first thing many people think of is not the incompetent government, but Panyu

Those Haihan people in Lijiazhuang who have always helped the victims unconditionally.

After this typhoon, a considerable number of the affected people gave up going to Guangzhou, and instead went directly to Panyu, which was closer to the disaster area, to seek help from the Haihan people in Lijiazhuang. This sudden wave of refugees did indeed bring relief to the local people.

Immigration work brings a lot of pressure.

"These jars and jars of things are not allowed into the camp. If you want to bring these things, don't go in!" Sha Xi shouted loudly at several victims who had fled with a bunch of tattered belongings.

They were all on the front line dealing with these victims, and Sha Xi's voice was obviously hoarse.

According to the management regulations of the immigration camp, immigrants are not allowed to bring non-essential daily necessities into the camp to avoid hazards such as epidemics. However, the victims who have fled are often reluctant to part with the household items they have taken the trouble to move out, so they often leave them at the entrance.

They were constantly entangled with immigration cadres. Shaxi had been dealing with immigration matters here for several days in a row, and he had long been impatient with it.

"Throw all the irrelevant things over there!" Sha Xi raised his hand and pointed to the plain to the left of the gate of the immigration camp. About three hundred meters away, there were two or three large pits filled with various kinds of stuff.

There are all kinds of waste, including old clothes, various furniture, pots and pans, almost everything you can think of. These things are all things abandoned by immigrants before entering the camp, and hundreds of them are collected every day.

.

"If you don't want to throw away these treasures, just go to the open space on the right and find a place to wait. Everyone will have a bowl of porridge every morning and every night!" Sha Xi pointed to the other side and said loudly.

On the plain to the right of the gate, at least a thousand victims have gathered, and there are also many temporary shacks built by the victims among the crowd. Either these people are reluctant to part with their belongings and are here to wait and see the development of the situation, or they are just purely

They just want to eat for a few days, and then decide whether to go back to their hometown or make other plans. The treatment these people can get is basically only two bowls of gruel a day, and the immigration camp does not have so many human resources to take care of other things.

.For matters such as health and epidemic prevention and security, the existing manpower to deal with matters inside the camp is somewhat stretched. For the people outside who do not intend to follow Haihan, we can only let them go and let them fend for themselves.

"Director Sha, a message has arrived from the base camp." Just when Sha Xi was busy, his entourage ran over and handed him an envelope.

The seal of the envelope has the wax seal of the confidential room of the Lijiazhuang Immigration Camp. This is a means to prevent confidential messages sent from the confidential room from leaking during the transmission process. Unless the traveler himself goes to the confidential room to collect the message, otherwise

They must be put into envelopes and sealed. Although the chance of this happening is very slim at this stage, under the insistence of the Executive Committee, it is still strictly implemented by all overseas agencies as one of the safety rules.

Sha Xi asked the naturalized cadre next to him to take over his work first, then walked aside and opened the envelope, took out the message inside and started to read it.

The content of the message is very simple. It is a reply to the request for help sent back by the Lijiazhuang Immigration Camp a few days ago. Due to the arrival of a large number of local refugees, all aspects of affairs are in a state of manpower shortage, and the various daily necessities must be provided as soon as possible.

It is necessary to replenish it. Living supplies such as food, tents, clothing, etc. are also in short supply in the current Guangzhou market. Therefore, the immigration camp expressed the hope that the executive committee can arrange to ship a batch of supplies as soon as possible to supplement the needs of Lijiazhuang.

.

This message from the Executive Committee is a reply to the next material support arrangements for the immigrant camp. A material transport team consisting of four cargo ships has set off from Victory Port, one of which is bound for Wanshan Port and Hong Kong Island, and the other three ships are heading to Wanshan Port and Hong Kong Island.

They were all headed for Panyu. These three ships carried 70 tons of rice and other ingredients, some commonly used medicinal materials, and hundreds of military tents. In addition to ten doctors, there was also a company of militiamen accompanying them.

As support for Panyu’s security forces.

These ships will also take at least 700 to 800 immigrants to Sanya on their return journey to reduce the pressure on the immigrant camps. The second batch of fleets transporting supplies and immigrants is already being mobilized, and will arrive by two days at the latest.

It will depart from Sanya in a few days.

After Sha Xi read the telegram, his mood calmed down a little. As far as the current situation is concerned, the number of people in the immigration camp has actually exceeded the normal operating load by more than 20%. If the flow of people cannot be evacuated as soon as possible, then the immigration camp will

It is likely to gradually become chaotic and out of control, which is not a situation Shaxi wants to see.

Sha Xi worked as a tour guide before crossing over, and his ability to speak well allowed him to join the civil affairs department to manage immigration affairs at the beginning of the crossing. Two years ago, he got the opportunity to be transferred to the Guangdong Office. After arriving in Guangzhou, Sha Xi continued to work

He is engaged in the immigration work that he is familiar with. However, two years have passed. Although Haihan has made considerable gains in his development in the mainland, the expansion of his control scope has been quite slow. Officials like Sha Xi also have limited authority.

Most of the changes were actually a bit of a psychological gap for Sha Xi, who came to this time and space with great ambitions and wanted to be the emperor of the earth.

Of course, the situation in this time and space did not completely disappoint Sha Xi. Some things still made him happy. For example, last year, Sha Xi bought a quiet courtyard in Guangzhou and married two concubines in a row.

Crossing the border, and these two little girls are only fifteen or sixteen years old. Before the time travel, it would definitely be an accident. However, here it is a normal phenomenon that is reasonable, reasonable and legal.

The Executive Committee has never been too strict about the personal issues of overseas institutions. It only needs to register the spouse's personal and family status with the civil affairs department. As for how many wives and concubines these people plan to marry, the Executive Committee

There are no corresponding regulations - one of the reasons why many people participate in time travel is because of the relatively free marriage status in this time and space. To be precise, they come for polygamy. If these people are not allowed to enjoy such

The treatment, I'm afraid several executive committee members will have their backs swollen from scolding.

Sha Xi's second concubine is now five months pregnant. The emergence of the next generation is one of the biggest motivations for him to continue struggling in this time and space. Sha Xi is a very smart person.

It is clear that if he wants to leave more legacy and power to the next generation, he must climb to a higher position in the early stages of time travel, and to do this, he must first be qualified in his current job.

Only breakthroughs can be made.

With the development and construction of Wanshan Port, Lijiazhuang, and Hong Kong Island, the establishment of the Guangdong Administrative Region has become an imperative measure. It just depends on when the Executive Committee will take it out as a formal proposal for discussion.

After the establishment of the Guangdong Administrative Region, the first batch of promoted officials should definitely be those who have stayed in the Guangdong Office for two years. Even if the Executive Committee will make personnel adjustments, even if they are transferred to other places or transferred back to Sanya

If you hold the position, promotion to this administrative level is definitely a sure thing.

Sha Xi does not hope that he will be transferred to another place or back to Sanya by then. He prefers to stay here in Guangzhou. To realize this wish, Sha Xi must compete for the promotion of the administrative level of the Guangdong Office in Guangdong.

The position of civil affairs chief.

Although he has been in charge of immigration affairs in the past two years, it does not mean that he will continue to control this work in the future. Recently, due to a business trip, the Executive Committee temporarily assigned You Yihan to Hong Kong Island to serve as the

The local civil affairs officer made Sha Xi feel a certain sense of nervousness - he was not the only one in the Guangdong Office who could be in charge of civil affairs. Except for You Yihan who was sent to Hong Kong Island this time,

Ma Yu, who is in charge of medical and health care, is also one of the candidates.

Due to historical reasons, there has been no female executive member on the executive committee from the beginning, and there are still some voices of discussion among the people. Although the suppression of feminist elements within the Time Travel Group has always been relatively vigorous, the executive committee cannot make it public.

completely exclude the entry of female time-travelers - this is almost a situation that will inevitably occur in the future. Feminists like Gu Kai's foreign girlfriend Raisa will naturally be resisted by most people, and the public image of Ma Yu is extremely

Good women will most likely be promoted as members of the next executive committee to silence those feminists.

It is still early before the next election of the executive committee, but if the executive committee agrees to introduce female executive members in the next election, then it is a relatively safe approach to start paving the way for it politically now.
