Chapter 921 Disaster Relief

In the disaster area, the heavy rain is still falling, and the area of ​​the disaster area has expanded again.

Not only Jingzhou, but also Jiangling, Gong'an County, and Shishou area have suffered disasters to varying degrees.

This kind of flood is at the level of 20 years, and the situation is a bit serious.

In the past, a flood of this level would have killed at least tens of thousands of people.

If there is a plague, it will be even more unpredictable.

Now, since the flood broke out, less than 100 people have died and more than 200 people are missing.

Even if the missing ones are all dead, the total number is only around 300, which is one-thirtieth of what it used to be, a remarkable achievement.

Wu Changqing has been dispatching in the center of Yueyang, urging the officials below to rescue the disaster. A large number of materials were transported from downstream, and then transported to the disaster area.

"Your Majesty, the transfer of the victims has been basically completed. There will be at most some property losses, but the lives of the people will be safe."

Hong Chengchou reported.

Wu Changqing's request for life-saving is the most important thing, and the property can be given up.

Under this instruction, the people in the disaster area have been moved to a safe place.

The number of transfers reached a staggering 300,000 people.

These people consume a huge sum of money for food and accommodation every day. Before it was changed, no dynasty could bear it.

But Dahua did it, but fortunately they had donations, otherwise the disaster area would really bring a lot of financial pressure to the imperial court.

A few days later, the torrential rain finally decreased and gradually stopped.

This disaster is over.

Of course, the disaster relief work is far from over.

"Next, we must pay attention to health management to avoid epidemics. We must also do a good job in the post-disaster reconstruction of the victims, so that these people can survive."

Wu Changqing made important instructions again.

Post-disaster reconstruction is another troublesome and expensive matter.

But there is no way, this place in Huaxia has been plagued by disasters since ancient times.

The south is suffering from floods here, while the north is experiencing constant drought at this time.

If Dahua's current labor force is not enough and the degree of mechanization is not high enough, he would like to start a south-to-north water diversion project.

This project is imperative, after all, the north will always be short of water.

"How is the excavator research in the scientific research department going?"

Wu Changqing suddenly asked.

If you are engaged in engineering, how can you miss the excavator and Lanxiang.

An excavator can increase the efficiency by several percentage points.

People from the scientific research department quickly stood up and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is still under research, mainly because the hydraulic technology has not been able to break through and the engine power is not enough."

"It's too slow. All the technology has been handed over to them, and they can't make it if they follow it. What's the use of the court supporting them?"

Wu Changqing snorted coldly.

He didn't punish those people either. After all, doing research doesn't improve efficiency by putting a knife on the opponent's neck.

He just expressed his dissatisfaction and urged the people in the scientific research department not to slack off.

This attitude is so powerful that at least the people in the scientific research department are breaking out in a cold sweat.

The Son of Heaven is angry, which is a really bad situation.

They were all going to send a telegram back, telling the people in the excavator project not to go home, to eat, drink and scatter in the laboratory, and not to leave until the task was completed.

The disaster has been relieved, and Wu Changqing and his party continued to go south.

There are still many major events in the world, and it is impossible for him to focus on these things all the time.

Moreover, he was sitting on the front line, but he was actually just showing an attitude. If you really want to say how great the effect is, it won't be enough, and I haven't seen God stop the rain for his face.

If another minister stays here to coordinate management, the effect will be similar.

Wu Changqing came to the front line in person. Although the actual effect was not much, the symbolic meaning was still very important.

Various photos were sent back to Nanjing, and the newspapers kept reporting them, allowing ordinary people to understand Wu Changqing's great deeds, and thus became more supportive of Wu Changqing.

After all, throughout the ages, very few emperors would personally come to the front line for disaster relief.

The common people don't care whether it's useful or not to come to the front line in person, just this attitude moves them.

Wu Changqing's series of unusual actions gave him great prestige among the people. The people in some areas even had an almost fanatical worship of him.

This kind of fanatical admiration is manifested as the inability to tolerate any dissatisfaction with Wu Changqing. Even if there is any policy that they think is bad, or some grievances, they will unanimously believe that those corrupt officials did it.

The wise majesty was only deceived by villainous and treacherous ministers.

This kind of fanatical worship made Wu Changqing's regime extremely strong, without any risk of rebellion.

Anyone with crooked minds will despair when they see how much the people support Wu Changqing.

In addition to common people, those intellectuals and social celebrities are also taking the opportunity to flatter Wu Changqing in various ways.

Write various articles to praise him, and praise Wu Changqing as a holy emperor who surpassed all ancient emperors.

What Qin Huang Han Wu, now in front of the Holy Emperor, is insignificant and not worth mentioning.

Did Qin Shihuang personally come to the front line for disaster relief? Did Qin Shihuang cut taxes for the people? Qin Shihuang only recruited civilian husbands to do coolies.

As for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, what else would he do besides being militaristic?

Although Dahua fought more frequently than the Han Dynasty

, but Dahua made money in wars, and Emperor Wu of the Han fought in wars, which was pure consumption and didn't make any profit.

As for Tang Zong and Song Zu, let alone mention it.

During the Tang Dynasty, it was only a little famous in the Western Regions. People from other places didn't know what the Tang Dynasty was.

Today's Dahua is famous in civilized places all over the world, and it is a holy place in the hearts of people all over the world.

How many foreigners have sharpened their heads just to become big Chinese.

Through various comparisons, Wu Changqing's image is made taller and more stalwart.

Of course, he did deserve it.

Just by making the people of the world have enough to eat, no emperor has achieved it since ancient times, but Wu Changqing has barely accomplished it.

Not to mention the unification of the Central Plains and the recovery of a large number of homelands.

Today, Dahua's territory is close to 20 million square kilometers, making it the largest dynasty in history.

The Mongol Empire is not recognized by the Chinese.

Moreover, the territorial area of ​​the Mongolian period and the territorial area of ​​Dahua are no longer a concept at all.

The Mongolian central government has very weak control over the local area, and even divided it into several khanates. The Yuan Dynasty in the Central Plains and the khanates in several other places belong to Mongolia in name, but in fact they are not a country at all.

Other places could not control the Yuan Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty could not control other places.

Today's Dahua has strong control over all places.

Even Siberia, which is far away in the sky, must completely obey the orders of the central government.

This kind of territory is the real territory.
