Renn did not express his opinion - he only arrived in Qiongshan yesterday evening, and he had no right to speak without an investigation. Later he was going to see the situation in person: a few days ago, he had already called the health department to collect a certain number of fecal samples.
Waiting for him to bring the mobile inspection vehicle from the Ministry of Health to come for inspection.
The meeting ended after lasting for an hour. Liu Xiang assigned work to the naturalized cadres. In the eyes of Lane and others, the tasks on the task cards were all simplified to the extreme - this is also a characteristic of the "Qiongshan Experience".
The quantitative standard that is easiest to understand for naturalized civilian cadres and avoids vague terms. It is suitable for naturalized civilian cadres with extremely low educational levels and no administrative experience.
After the meeting, Liu Xiang had another meeting with the veterans of the disaster relief team. The leader of the disaster relief team is Yang Yun, director of the Labor Department under the Civil Affairs People's Committee. This person is a third-level human resources manager and former employee of a southern middle school.
The head of human resources and the president of the union in a small sweatshop.
Having this person lead the team fully illustrates the Government Administration's intention in this regard - it seems that the leaders are targeting these refugee laborers. Liu Xiang felt that his guess was not wrong, because there were also veterans of the propaganda department among the visitors.
Liu Xiang and other elders went up to the East Gate Tower.
"This typhoon! This heavy rain!" Liu Xiang muttered as he stood on the east gate tower in a raincoat, with his orderlies and guards behind him. Several government officials and clerks retained by the county wore bamboo hats and raincoats and stood respectfully in the rain, waiting.
His instructions.
The other elders, under the care of their respective secretaries and guards, were also on the tower looking down at the people below.
In order to give the refugees a place to shelter from the wind and rain as soon as possible, Liu Xiang ordered to use the eaves on both sides of the street to put up wooden bars directly above the street and cover them with reed foil to build a temporary rain shelter. Looking down from the city gate,
Long sheds have been set up along the entire street, which looks like the way some counties in the old days would set up sheds to sell New Year's goods during the New Year. The city gate was selected from the military households of several local health stations in Qiongshan County and was adapted into Qiongshan County.
Soldiers from the security company guarded the area. In order to maintain full deterrence, all soldiers' rifles were bayoneted.
According to statistics from the Qiongshan County Office, there are approximately 10,000 refugees gathered under the city. Although these people have a temporary shelter from the wind and rain, the population is extremely crowded and extremely humid, so it is not a long-term solution.
When Lane pointed out that serious epidemics might break out under such arrangements, Liu Xiang said that this was a transitional approach.
"I have talked with the liaison officers - typhoon disasters occur several times every year in the United States, but this time the heavy rain lasted for a very long time, which is why it turned out like this. But at most half a month of water will only be enough
Return……"
"Are they sure?"
"There's no reason not to believe the local people's experience, right? In addition, I also asked people to clean up the buildings in the school grounds - there are one or two hundred bathroom barracks there. Unfortunately, they have not been used for many years and have all collapsed." Liu Xiang said, "The disinfection work is also
I have been doing this all the time. The people in the health department give out ginger soup and anti-fungal powder every day.”
Yang Yun suddenly interjected: "Now how much food rations do you give each of them per day?"
Liu Xiang said: "According to Chen Sigen, each person needs to be supplied with 1,400 kilocalories per day. I can't calculate the kilocalories. Now refugees, regardless of gender, old or young, are provided with two bowls of vegetable porridge per person per day. Each person has 200 grams of brown rice, plus some
Vegetables, taro, sweet potatoes, etc.”
Of course Yang Yun knew: when he was in the sweatshop, the employee canteen was also under his jurisdiction. The calories of 100 grams of rice were only 350 kilocalories. The food provided by the Qiongshan County Office had only 700 kilocalories. This could only guarantee refugees.
Don't starve to death for the time being.
Liu Xiang had his own reasons for setting such a low supply standard. Even if he supplied at such a low level, he would have to consume 2.2 tons of grain every day. And all he could use was the limited grain stock in Qiongshan County's county treasury.
The grain storage in Qiongshan was originally quite considerable. A large part of the official grain storage of Qiongzhou Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty was stored in warehouses in Qiongshan County. In addition to part of it being transferred to Lingao for processing, part of it was kept in warehouses in the city.
However, Liu Xiang has no right to use these grains - they belong to the "national grain reserves" under the jurisdiction and call of the Planning Institute. He can only use the grains stored in the county treasury.
Now was the time to wait for the summer grain to appear, and both public and private reserves were very scarce. He borrowed grain from the local gentry, but the gentry all cried out for poverty. Some even begged Liu Xiang to reduce the summer grain supply - saying that the land was flooded.
, there was no harvest in the fields. Liu Xiang managed to get 200 shi of grain through coercion and inducement.
These days, he has been organizing refugees to collect food in areas where the water has receded, collecting and baking flooded rice, taro and sweet potatoes to use as relief food.
"...It won't take too long. The food in the county treasury is very limited. I can handle it for three or four days at most. If it takes longer, I will have to ask Wu De to approve the food for me." Liu Xiang didn't know that Yang Yun had brought it.
As for relief supplies, I had to make the situation more serious.
Yang Yun nodded noncommittally. Liu Xiang felt that he was not interested in allocating relief food. He couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed - he had some understanding of the thinking of the people in the executive committee, and many of them were unscrupulous Machiavellians.
As a liberal, in this environment with an unprecedented lack of "political correctness", it is hard to say what can be done. He thought of the several food and labor work meetings he was summoned to Lingao before the typhoon hit, among which
The direction of the trend has been very clear.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel chills running down his back. He thought to himself that the Executive Committee should not cause any trouble. Relief and relief from famines was a matter of great concern to the people. If you were not careful, you could lose everything you tried to do.
A good situation was turned into a mess - the stable and united situation in Qiongshan County was something he had worked hard to achieve. But don't let it be ruined by some people's hot-headedness.
Yang Yun suddenly asked: "Where is the porridge shed?"
"It's in the open space at the end of the street." Liu Xiang said and looked at his watch, "The porridge service will start in two hours."
Yang Yun discussed with the other elders and told the secretary behind him: "Let them set up on the soup kitchen."
"What? What do you want to build?" Liu Xiang asked.
"Of course it's a good thing." Yang Yun said, "Listen to me, this time the executive committee's plan for Qiongzhou's disaster relief is like this..."
The porridge shed was built on a large piece of empty dirt at the end of the street. Liu Xiang had people put a layer of soil on the ground and spread gravel to make it as dry as possible. A total of ten sheds were built on the open space, each shed
There are several large pots in each. These pots are usually borrowed from official temples and Taoist temples, and half of them are borrowed from the homes of local wealthy families. At this moment, the porridge soup has begun to boil in the large pots in the porridge shed.
Liu Xiang accompanied Yang Yun and others to the porridge shed to check them one by one. Yang Yun picked up a spoon and stirred in the large pot. In addition to rice grains, the porridge soup also contained cut taro, sweet potatoes, pumpkins and various unknown things.
The famous vegetable leaves look rich and colorful. But the content in this porridge is really a bit thin.
At the end of the soup kitchen, a dozen naturalized migrant workers who came with the work team were busy pulling measuring tapes and driving wooden piles. The ground was already piled with modular building materials, and Liu Xiang also organized some refugees to help with the work.
The most eye-catching thing is the three large pots that have just been unloaded from the oxcart. Several craftsmen are busy building the stove.
"Is this okay?" Liu Xiang was a little worried.
"It's okay." Yang Yun said with a smile, "Contrast is the only way to be stimulated. Once the masses are incited, it will be easier to handle."
At nine o'clock in the morning, with the sound of the horn, the streets that had been quiet suddenly became commotion. The refugees, who were so weak that they could only sit and lie down, heard the horn sound, and each one of them tried their best to support each other and stood up.
, walked towards the soup kitchen. Naturalized civilian cadres and soldiers from the guard company were maintaining order, and sharp whistles came and went:
"Don't push people!", "Don't crowd!", "There is something for everyone!", "Watch the children and the elderly, don't fall!"...
With the security company maintaining order, the refugees went to the soup kitchen in batches according to distance and distance.
As soon as they entered the soup kitchen today, they smelled a distinctive aroma - not the melon and vegetable porridge that had been bland these days, but a strong aroma of rice that had not been seen for a long time. During this period, it seemed to be mixed with other
of fragrance.
The fragrant and fragrant aroma of rice wafted in the air, causing them to look left and right. Suddenly someone discovered that the aroma of rice was coming from a newly built shed at the end of the venue.
The crowd immediately rushed towards the shed. Sure enough, a half-person-high earth platform was set up under the reed mat shed. A large pot of fragrant rice was cooking on the stove on the platform. In a large pot next to it,
Brown soup with an alluring aroma.
On a large table, on a clean wooden board, there are rice balls one after another. They come in two sizes, large and small. They are all wrapped in perilla leaves, exuding the fragrance of rice and vegetable leaves. Several chefs are still pinching the new ones.
Rice dumplings.
The refugees immediately became agitated: even when the typhoon did not come, they were still in the stage of spending the spring famine since the beginning of spring, and they ate less and more dry food every day. Now there was a big pot of dry rice in front of them! Many people's stomachs immediately started to ache.
The sound was like a reflection. If it weren't for the Australian soldiers in front of the platform, each holding a bayonet and a blunderbuss, the refugees would have rushed up to snatch it away.
Looking at the appearance of the cook above, it didn’t look like he was about to give out food. The refugees were at a loss when suddenly cheerful music sounded. Accompanied by the song "In the Field of Hope", the crowd from the Cultural Propaganda Department
Ji Denggao from the Propaganda Department stepped onto the platform in high spirits.
