As Qi Yu expected, the ravines in central Qiongzhou are theoretically high-prone areas for waterlogging, and in fact they are.
According to investigation reports, people are currently trapped there and are in urgent need of outside rescue.
As for the personnel involved in the rescue and the required ships, they have all been assembled and are ready to go.
It is worth mentioning that this work was very efficient and almost reached the ideal fastest speed.
Thumbs up!
Qi Yu thought for a while and said to Tan Junyan: "Guangling, go quickly and arrange some urgently needed supplies, such as clean drinkable water, simple food, etc., so that the rescuers can take them with them on the ship, thinking that the people will be safe from time to time.
It is urgently needed. In addition, you must prepare for the resettlement of the people affected by the disaster without making any mistakes."
"yes!"
Then, Qi Yu gave another order to Ren Yu: "Sir Ren, lead the people in the workshop to rush to the flooded area and do a good job in dredging the canals and diverting water to remove the waterlogging."
"yes!"
"..."
As he talked, the sky started to get brighter.
Coincidentally, the heavy rain actually changed from pattering to pattering as the night faded. Finally, the wind stopped and the rain stopped, and the clouds broke and the sun rose.
Immediately afterwards, the first ray of morning light from the east shone on the earth.
Seeing the sky clearing after the rain, everyone could not help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Although the rainstorm came very fast, there was no terrible continuous cloudy weather, which was really a blessing among the misfortunes.
Okay, okay, don’t make unnecessary sighs and get to work quickly!
"Let's go!"
"Well……"
Ren Yu saw Mr. Qi coming out at the lead and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Sir, what are you... planning to do?"
Qi Yu said sternly: "I want to go to the hardest-hit area and take a look at the real situation."
As soon as these words came out, the group of people under Ke Ke's command were shocked, oh no, it should be said that they were frightened.
Is this a dangerous place that he can go to if he is in danger?
Absolutely not!
So, all the officials spoke with one voice and urged them earnestly.
"Sir Qi, you are the commander in chief of this disaster response. You should sit in the army and strategize. As long as you make correct deployment and command, you do not need to be on the front line..."
"Yes, Sir Qi, how can we let you personally take risks?"
"That's right, what should we do if we encounter a sudden disturbance?"
In this way, everyone was able to persuade everyone in a sensible and reasonable manner.
However, there are no eggs.
At this time, Mr. Qi is like a donkey in the production team who is desperate for water. He is so stubborn that his nostrils are pointing upward. How can he listen to advice?
"Okay, you don't need to persuade me any more. I have my own reasons for doing this." Qi Yu first pressed his hands on everyone, and then explained: "In the face of a catastrophic disaster, the front line of the disaster is the most important thing for the chief minister of a party.
Wherever I go, if I don't set the right example, won't the officials under my command become even more lazy?"
more?
Look at the use of this word... it's a bit too explicit, isn't it?
However, it is indeed the case.
To be honest, when encountering a major disaster, the role of the chief officer is very obvious.
There are two points.
The first is to stabilize the people's hearts. Take the current situation as an example. Under this special situation, the prefect of your state is the backbone of the people's hearts. When you appear there, you can exude a kind of positive energy and a sense of security. You can
Dispel the fear in the hearts of the people.
There is also a deterrent effect, which is mainly aimed at officials. Just imagine, even if they have eaten the courage of a bear and a leopard, they would not dare to be lazy and slippery under the eyes of the prefect. On the contrary, they would still shout and scream.
express yourself.
In view of the above two points, I must stand up and suppress the situation at this moment!
The officials couldn't resist, so they had no choice but to comply with Mr. Qi's wish.
Next, everyone went about their business according to their respective responsibilities, and carried out disaster relief operations in an orderly and orderly manner.
There is a saying about the golden seventy-two hours for disaster relief, but floods are not included in this.
It is an explosive natural disaster that gradually accumulates and is about to break out. From this point of view, the people in the disaster area have enough time to save themselves, and the so-called rescue only means to move them out and resettle them properly.
Even so, don't waste time, the sooner the better.
Get going!
After Qi Yu expressed his condolences to some people who had been resettled, he put on his casual clothes, boarded a boat, floated on the water in the flooded area, and headed deep in a certain direction.
From time to time during this period, he would look through the distance with a telescope to observe the specific situation around him.
During this outing, he did not let any officials accompany him, and only took two personal servants with him. The purpose was not to waste manpower and let his subordinates do what they should do.
In fact, Qi Dalang was not idle either. He used the opportunity of this inspection to do something important and meaningful.
What's important?
Drawing!
That is, draw a detailed topographic map of this area.
What’s the point?
Let’s listen to the explanation:
As we all know, water has the characteristic of flowing downwards. The deeper the water is, the lower the terrain there is. Now, we can use this opportunity to coordinate the actual data of the terrain to plan the location of future reservoirs.
.
The lower the terrain, the smaller the amount of construction work, which can not only save a lot of manpower and material resources, but also make the most scientific and correct judgment.
'Water' doesn't lie. It's clear which one is higher and which one is lower. This is many times more accurate than human measurement.
When the sun turned west, Qi Yu planned to turn back.
However, the strange scene in the telescope made him change his mind.
In the field of vision, I saw a group of adults and children kneeling and kowtowing to a 'corpse' covered by a straw mat, and even faintly heard the cry of 'Mother, mother, mother!'.
Um?
Is this a dead person?
So what, go and have a look!
So, Qi Yu drove the boat towards that direction.
Just after landing, I heard an old father-in-law angrily said: "You unfilial sons, how can you watch your mother being drowned in the water without saving it? Humph! When I report it to Mr. Qi,
I don’t see how much face you have in this world!”
At this time, a middle-aged man replied: "Uncle, as the saying goes, family scandals should not be made public. If you go to sue the officials, wouldn't it be a disgrace to all of us?"
"..."
After listening for a while, Qi Yu understood the outline of the matter.
Is such that.
It is said that early this morning, the family's old house was washed away by a sudden mudslide on the mountain. Fortunately, they were all pushed into the water and were not buried by the sand and gravel.
Then there was self-rescue and mutual rescue. In this process, all ten sons of the family extended their helping hands to their wives and children, but the old lady in Gaotang had no one to save her and died.
If this happens, the old uncle will stop doing it.
He believed that if his wife and mother fell into the water at the same time, the first priority should be to save the mother, otherwise it would be unfilial.
That's what happened.
If you analyze it superficially, this seems to be a moral case in which upright officials cannot resolve household affairs, but if you analyze it in depth, you will find something wrong.
Let's put it this way.
If one son is present, he may be busy in a hurry, but if ten sons are present, it is impossible for them all to be busy, right?
But in fact, there really wasn't, because that's how the old lady drowned.
I dare not say that there are too many, but it is inevitable that we are not active in rescuing.
What I hate the most is this kind of unfilial son!
Thinking of this, Qi Yu couldn't help but snorted and strode out from the crowd.
