Chapter 35 Efficient Disaster Relief

After there was no opposition among the ministers, Zhou Ming immediately set up an emergency relief team.

He himself serves as the team leader and is responsible for full command.

Giroot serves as deputy team leader, responsible for coordinating and cooperating to collect the situation in the disaster area.

As for the main force in disaster relief, 50,000 people were drawn from the 200,000 imperial guards stationed in the imperial capital and devoted themselves to disaster relief.

In fact, when Zhou Ming proposed to let the military participate in disaster relief operations, whether the military's senior management or the soldiers selected to participate in disaster relief were not very motivated, very resistant to the task, and even complained.

Zhou Ming had no choice but to do some ideological work for them.

"As soldiers who protect the empire, during war times, you have the responsibility to defend your home, fight bloody battles with the enemy on the battlefield, and even sacrifice bloodshed... Each of you is a hero of the empire,"

"But in peacetime, you should also be heroes of the empire. In the face of natural disasters that harm the people, you should fulfill your responsibilities and understand your duties."

"Your duty is to defend the empire and protect the people of the empire!"

"This is true in the face of war and in the face of natural disasters. You should also be heroes in the era of peace."

"This severe flood that occurred in Andorha County is a war against natural gods! I hope that each of you will do your best to fight with all your might!"

"In addition, I have also formulated a reward regulations. In this war, whoever performs well, the troops rescue more people, and the troops do their best, I will ask the inspector to record it. In the end, if they perform outstandingly, I will increase the position, award, reward, and praise like rewards!"

As soon as these words were said, 50,000 soldiers were shocked collectively and their morale immediately rose.

Military achievements.

Where did the military achievements come from during peacetime?

I can get it if I participate in this disaster relief, so why don’t I try my best to show?

50,000 soldiers became easy to dispatch in an instant, and their enthusiasm greatly increased.

In this way, there are people who have money and enough manpower, but there are still not enough disaster relief supplies.

The victims in the disaster area need at least 2 million stones of food, millions of clothes, and a large amount of wood to build simple housing... The food, clothing, and medical services of millions of people must be solved by him.

And in the short term, at least the problems of food and medical treatment must be solved first... After all, the victims who do not have much food can live for up to 5 to 10 days by relying on various methods.

In addition, the imperial capital is 200 miles away from the disaster area, which is not long, but it will take at least one day.

So how to rescue disasters and save as many victims in the disaster area as possible.

After about two hours of discussion, Zhou Ming developed a five-step plan.

Step 1: Get a passageway.

From all directions, quickly open about four roads to the disaster area, so that there is a "disaster relief road" in each direction, with the eastern road as the main one.

Step 2: Transfer the victims and transport food at the same time.

Transfer the victims from the disaster area, guide them to the designated disaster relief site, and take some self-rescue measures, such as cutting down trees, building housing, etc., and improving the facilities of the disaster relief site.

On the other side, grain is transported simultaneously from the imperial capital or surrounding counties to transport grain to disaster relief sites to solve the most important hunger problem... Since the disaster relief site is located between the disaster area and the county town around the imperial capital, it can save a certain amount of grain transport time.

Step 3: Provide medical services.

After the disaster, there will be a major epidemic, and medical teams are required to enter, treat the wounded, and carry out epidemic prevention and disinfection work, and even conduct isolation and treatment for some diseases with high mortality rates to avoid causing greater losses.

Step 4: After the flood recedes, guide the victims to carry out reconstruction work in the disaster area.

Step 5: Construction and promotion, control floods, so that similar disasters will no longer occur.

In addition to the above five steps of planning, in order to improve disaster relief efficiency, Zhou Ming also invented three "magic weapons" and formed a rapid response force.

The three artifacts are:

A total of 500 carriages with a large capacity...were prepared in total, each carriage can carry 8 stones of grain, and the speed is not very slow. The 500 four-wheeled carriages, each batch of grain transported is enough for 500,000 people to eat a day.

Treble speakers... There is no doubt about the importance of treble speakers. In this era, they can fully play the role of magical tools... As for the invention principle of treble speakers, Zhou Ming will not introduce them much. Anyway, for him, the technical content of making treble speakers is not high.

Flying controllable hot air balloon...Yes, Zhou Ming also invented the hot air balloon. The technical content of this thing is lower than that of the tweeter, because many materials are available ready-made and there is no need to develop any batteries. However, due to the influence of airflow in the atmosphere, the flight of hot air flow is generally uncontrollable. However, Zhou Ming installed a set of power devices on the hot air balloon to allow the practitioner to control it, that is, as long as the "blue force" is input into the power device, the hot air balloon can fly in the direction needed - when the wind speed is not very high.

Because of the installation of that power device and the special requirements for the operators, Zhou Ming created a total of 10 hot air balloons.

Finally, there was the urgently established "rapid response force". These people were elite cultivator warlocks selected from the army. The average strength level reached level 4 warlocks. Warlocks of this level, using "blue power", can already make some "short flights", "turn water into a wall, like walking on flat ground", "hardening sludge and turning into earth walls". Basically, no matter what natural environment, they cannot limit their free movement.

What is even more worth mentioning is that in this fast reaction force, there are three noble magic net walkers, and none of them belong to the military. The reason why Zhou Ming was able to join the fast reaction force was that Zhou Ming's determination to rescue disasters touched the kind-hearted and made them willing to accept official driving.

In addition, in terms of various materials such as grain, clothing, medicine, etc., Zhou Ming released news that the scale of the "trade zone" should be expanded from 100 acres to 300 acres (200 acres of land were moved from the palace covering an area of ​​1,000 acres), and more merchants will be invited to join the cooperation.

The merchants who were trying hard to hoard goods and were preparing to make a fortune in the flood soon experienced a collapsed fall, and countless grains were sent to Zhou Ming. As for the price, they were lower than the usual market price, which was equivalent to selling them at a cost price.

In this way, in order to deal with this flood, Zhou Ming concentrated all resources that can be concentrated.

The funds are relatively abundant.

There are enough manpower.

Countless merchants assisted in supplying supplies.

The disaster relief plan has also been formulated perfectly and reasonably.

Plus the powerful assistance of three magical tools.

And the powerful warlocks in the Rapid Response Force participated in this disaster relief operation.

The nobles and ministers in the court also stood by and watched with their hands in their arms, allowing His Majesty the Emperor to do whatever they wanted, and did not help, but did not hinder behind their backs. They just wanted their young and innocent emperor to pay some tuition, learn to give up when they see the difficulties, and no longer do similar things that are both stupid and not worth the effort.

However, 10 days later.

The vigorous disaster relief operation continued from high intensity until it was nearing its end.

800,000.

The palace meeting this day.

Looking at the enlarged and bold number placed in the most conspicuous position in the "Disaster Relief Report", almost blinded all the ministers in the court.

"At present, 800,000 victims have been successfully rescued. The victims are in a stable mood, have fewer diseases, and have sufficient supplies. One meal and two porridge can be guaranteed every day. How is this possible?"

"According to my estimate, even if the court spares no expense and does its best to provide relief, it would be good to rescue millions of victims of disasters and 300,000 yuan...800,000 yuan, how is this possible?"

"Yes! Impossible! I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

"This...it can't be so powerful. How could our Emperor Majesty be so powerful? He is only in his teenage years old and cannot be so powerful!"

"I really can't believe in this report. I have to go to the disaster relief site in person to take a look. I want to see it as the truth!" Prime Minister Benedict said.

"Yes! We all have to see it!"

The ministers all asked to go to the disaster relief site to investigate and count them personally whether there were 800,000 victims!
