Chapter VII Pingcheng Disaster Relief I
Pingcheng is located on the south bank of the Weishui River. There are many hills and trees in the territory, but it is named Pingcheng because the city is built on the only flat land. There are less than 3,000 households in the city, and the population is only more than 10,000. Most of them live in thatched huts, which is a typical poverty-stricken city.
county.
Xu Kang brought 30,000 disaster victims this time. If it weren't for Wang Can, Xu Shi and the two of them had already been prepared, and the strength of Yiping City would definitely cause a big mess.
In the county government office, Xu Shi spread out a map. Pingcheng on the map had been divided into countless squares. "We have inspected the entire Pingcheng. The terrain here is open and very suitable for building houses. There is also a lot of open space, even if it is to accommodate 100,000 disaster victims.
No problem." After Xu Shi finished speaking, he began to introduce the future use of each block.
Wang Can looked on dumbfounded. He came to Pingcheng with Xu Shi, and the two parties had a lot of contact in the past few days. The nine people brought by Xu Shi were running around outside all day, and Wang Can sometimes
He lamented their diligence, but he never expected that the other party had done so many things without telling him. What's more important was that Xu Shi, the county magistrate, had never heard of the plan he mentioned, which made him feel a little agitated.
Not happy.
After Xu Shi introduced the planning of Pingcheng, he began to introduce the landforms outside the city. "...Although the original Pingcheng ferry is very close to the city, it is narrow and not suitable for large ships to dock. So we found another open space two miles to the east.
, can be used to build a new ferry. There are large forests next to the ferry. If these trees can be cut down, they can be used as farmland."
When Xu Shi said this, he had basically finished introducing his plan. He raised his head and looked at Xu Kang, wanting to hear his opinion.
Xu Kang nodded with satisfaction. Unexpectedly, Xu Shi was becoming more and more capable and handled everything in an orderly manner, which was really rare. It seemed that he had made a wise decision by sending him as the vanguard. In the blink of an eye, he saw Wang Can standing aside,
He then smiled and said, "What does County Magistrate Wang think?"
Wang Can, who was originally depressed, was stunned when he heard this, and then became excited, with a bit of brilliance in his eyes and said: "Actually, I have been looking around the city in the past few days, and I just heard that your resettlement plan is indeed very good. If
According to this plan, the lives of these disaster victims may be better than those of the people in Pingcheng."
Xu Kang was stunned and said, "What do you mean, junior brother?"
"The people in Pingcheng were very active when they heard that they were going to help the victims. But if they saw that the lives of the victims were better than their own, they might cause some trouble."
Xu Kang suddenly looked at Wang Can with admiration. He didn't expect that he had only been here a few days and already knew so much about Pingcheng. It seemed that he was not a bookworm who only knew how to study. "What the junior brother said is true. Let's see, everything in Pingcheng is
Anyone who is willing can join our resettlement plan for disaster victims."
Wang Can asked doubtfully: "Resettlement plan for disaster victims?"
"That's right." Xu Kang took out a few pamphlets and said: "This is a plan I have thought about for a long time. The purpose is to resettle the victims more efficiently. Anyone who is willing to join this plan will be covered by us this winter.
Free room and board. But there is a prerequisite for this, that is, they must first hand over all their belongings for us to distribute and use. Well, you guys take a look first to see if there is anything else that needs to be added."
Wang Can watched the attack and praised: "Brother, this plan is indeed comprehensive. This time the victims are saved. I will announce it right away so that the people in Pingcheng can know the good news as soon as possible."
Seeing Wang Can leave in a hurry, Xu Kang sighed: "I didn't expect that at such a young age and coming from an aristocratic family, he could think of the people so early. It's really rare."
Xu Shi smiled and said: "Brother, don't you want to take him for your own use?"
Xu Kang said: "If this is the case, wouldn't it be bad?"
Xu Shi nodded and said: "Of course it's good. He is the legitimate son of the Wang family and the younger brother of the eldest brother. More importantly, he is talented and will definitely become a great person in the future."
Xu Kang smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you would be so discerning now."
"Following Big Brother for such a long time will always taint some spiritual energy."
"Flattery." Xu Kang glared at him and said, "Okay, what do you think of my plan?"
"Perfect. The most important thing is that the elder brother made the plan in such detail. Not only did he introduce the number of people and recruitment conditions for each group, he even explained their work. What amazed me the most was that even
You actually considered the matter of letting the old man be the scavenger. Now my work will be much easier."
Xu Kangdao: "Don't be complacent. No matter how good the plan is, it still requires the efforts of the executor. Whether you can do it well is the moment to test you. Moreover, the number of victims this time exceeds our expectations. No one knows how many more people will come in the future."
You can’t tell for sure, so you must not only properly carry out the current resettlement work, but also formulate a temporary contingency plan. You must not be in a hurry.”
Xu Shidao: "Don't worry, brother, if you can't even do this well, you can chop off my head."
"What do I need your head for?"
Xu Shi laughed, and after a while, he said hesitantly: "I still have a question, I don't know if I should ask it?"
"Is there any need for you and me to hesitate between you and me?"
Xu Shi nodded gratefully and said: "I just want to know, does the eldest brother really want to build Pingcheng into his own place? Otherwise, why would he spend so much effort? I know that if you implement your plan, it will take a long time."
It consumes more than just one million metric tons of grain. Various other expenses can almost wipe out all my savings in the past few years."
Xu Kang didn't expect him to ask this, so he smiled calmly and said, "Then what do you think I am for?"
Xu Shi said anxiously: "I just can't figure it out, so I keep it in my heart. In fact, with so many materials, we can build our own base anywhere, such as Qingzhou and Yanzhou. There is no need to do it in
Dong Zhuo did all this under his nose."
Xu Kangdao: "I'm very pleased that you can faithfully carry out my orders even when you don't understand. In fact, things are not as complicated as you think. I just don't want to watch so many victims die innocently, so I want to do it."
It’s just something we can do.”
Xu Shi obviously mustered up the courage today to ask all the doubts in his heart in front of Xu Kang, and said: "I don't understand. I always thought that the eldest brother is an ambitious person who will not be privately
Emotions influence judgment.”
Xu Kang smiled and said, "You can just say that I am a greedy, ruthless person, so I will understand better."
Xu Shi blushed and said, "I don't dare."
"It's nothing. In fact, after I made this decision, even I was a little surprised. But I decided to do it anyway, maybe to make up for my mistakes. Because only by doing this can I tell myself. Look, I
He is indeed a good person."
Xu Shi looked puzzled. "Fault? What fault?"
