Chapter 525 What’s Wrong with Them? They Just Want to Survive!

Ying Chengyu's anger was undisguised.

As early as six days ago, Mrs. Han had already summoned all pavilions in Chang'an Township, ordering them to evacuate dangerous areas and prepare for mudslides and floods.

As a result, to this day, Weizili has not yet retreated to a safe area!

This is an absolute dereliction of duty!

Zhao Nian's voice was full of bitterness: "Beizhi is from this Huizili family, and all around me in Guizhou are the relatives of Beizhi."

"How can you sit back and watch them die in such a humble position!"

"As soon as I heard the emperor's order, I organized the heads of Guizhou to leave Weizili and stock up outside the mountain."

"Of course, this mountain walk is much more serious than before!"

"Not only did it flood the feed in an instant, but it also spread all the way to our temporary camp."

"I know I am guilty of my humble position!"

"If Lord Chang'an hadn't come to help in time, this mountain walk would have caused many casualties in Weizili!"

Thinking of Zhao Nian running back and forth carrying the old man on his back, Ying Chengyu suppressed the urge to kill him with a sword and asked in a cold voice: "Since you have received my order, why don't you retreat farther and still stay on the hillside?" Hoarding around?"

Zhao Nian explained calmly: "The location chosen by me is the place where I would stay every time I go hiking in the mountains."

"This is the most reliable thing that Wei Zili Qian Shou has tried for more than a hundred years."

"If you get closer, the danger will increase sharply."

"If we are far away, we won't be able to take care of our fields!"

Ying Chengyu almost laughed in anger: "A great disaster is coming, and lives are at stake."

"Are you still worried about your land at this moment?"

"Which is more important, life or fields?"

Zhao Nian said matter-of-factly: "It's equally important."

"If you are swallowed by rolling rocks, you will die."

"If you don't have corn for your meals, you will die!"

"For our livelihood, we have no choice!"

If you completely ignore the acres of land out of concern about mudslides, then this year's food harvest will definitely be poor or even impossible!

It would be okay if there was a mudslide at that time.

Although the mudslide will swallow up acres of land and many lives, the court will mostly distribute some relief food afterwards, reduce taxes, and allow them to go hunting in the mountains to tide over the difficulties, trying to keep the Guizhou people here alive.

But if there is no landslide after worrying for a long time, how can Weizili Guizhou, whose fields have failed and there is no government relief, survive the next autumn harvest? !

If you can't survive it, you will die!

Facing Zhao Nian's answer, Ying Chengyu was speechless!

If Ying Chengyu was in Zhao Nian's position, he wouldn't know what to do.

After pondering for a moment, Ying Chengyu suppressed the coldness in his words: "I will not punish you, and I have no right to punish you."

"Your arrangements for this mountain walk should be left to the Xianyang County Magistrate to decide whether they are right or wrong."

"I will truthfully inform the Xianyang County Magistrate of the fact that you risked your life to save others."

Ying Chengxuan knew that he did not understand the people's livelihood at the grassroots level, so although Ying Chengxuan could understand Zhao Nian's dilemma, Ying Chengxuan would not judge Zhao Nian's right or wrong based on his own likes and dislikes.

Zhao Nian gratefully handed over his hands: "Thank you, Lord Chang'an!"

Behind Zhao Nian, a famous feeder, Li Qiandu, forced his legs to stand up.

Seeing that the cold expression on Ying Cheng's face faded, and with the permission of Zhao Nian's eyes, all the Guizhou leaders dared to bow their heads gratefully and shout: "Thank you, Lord Chang'an!"

They all knew that if Ying Chengyu hadn't come to the rescue, this mudslide would have taken away at least a hundred lives!

This is a real life-saving grace!

Ying Chengyu smiled and returned the courtesy: "You are all the people under my rule. I cannot just sit idly by and ignore you."

"The gentleman in my residence has already rushed over to the camp with food. It won't take long for you to set up camp here and have a hot meal."

"Xianyang County has also opened a granary to distribute disaster relief grain. I will ask the Xianyang County magistrate to open a disaster relief grain distribution center in Chang'an Township."

"Chang'an Township and Chang'an Junfu have also prepared Chang'an plows, cattle and grain planting to prepare for post-disaster reconstruction."

"Everything will be fine when the rainstorm ends!"

"Elders, there is no need to thank you."

Ying Chengyu's arrangement was just to use the "Qin Law" as a standard, to speed up the response a little, to ensure that intermediary officials would not deduct, and to reduce the interest on borrowed funds for reconstruction after the disaster.

But the leaders of Guizhou in Weizi knew very well that although the "Qin Code" was like this, the Qin Dynasty today also lacked food and grass, and it was impossible to carry out disaster relief in full compliance with the "Qin Code" throughout the territory.

Ying Chengyu must open the Chang'an Lord's treasury to allow them to persist until the next autumn harvest!

The gratitude in the hearts of all Guizhou leaders was almost overflowing. They bent down deeply again and shouted in a hoarse voice:

"Mr. Chang'an is so kind and virtuous!"

"We will die to repay you!"

Ying Chengyu did not want these Guizhou leaders, who were already exhausted, to continue to strain their bodies and minds to deal with him, the Lord of Chang'an, and was also worried about whether other pavilions in Chang'an Township would suffer disaster.

He didn't exchange much greetings, and just nodded slightly: "Someone will come with a camp tent later. You can communicate with the visitor for the rest of the chores."

"I'll take my leave first!"

Looking at Ying Chengyu's leaving figure, all the heads of the family shouted in unison:

"Thank you, Lord Chang'an!!!"

Weizili Qianshou's gratitude comes from the bottom of his heart and is sincere.

But it was difficult for Ying Chengyu to smile.

Taking a group of family soldiers with him, Ying Chengyu ran towards the mountain along the mountain road.

Not long after, another burst of roars reached Ying Chengxiao's ears.

"The Ziwu Valley has gone uphill, and Weizili has been flooded. Aren't you afraid that the Tianding Mountain is going downhill too? Let's go quickly! Don't waste your life!"

"No! Er's field! Er Aweng paid for the field with his life! Er has to drain water for the Er family's fields, Er can't leave!"

"Youzhi has ordered all mountain residents to come out of the mountain. Anyone who dares to disobey the order will be punished!"

"We can't walk! Please help us clear the channel. As long as the channel is clear, we won't be able to walk!"

Ying Chengyu turned his horse's head silently and headed in the direction where the roar came from.

From a distance, Ying Chengyu saw Zhang Xun, the steward of the Chang'an Lord's Mansion, leading a group of thieves and thieves to stop them in front of the Guizhou leaders. The two sides were spitting and arguing.

Zhang Xun and the thieves-exterminators clearly had the upper hand, and almost pressured the Guizhou leaders to come out as if they were escorting criminals.

But the Guizhou leaders did not give up resistance, and some women and children even knelt on the ground and begged.

When he caught a glimpse of Ying Chengyu from the corner of his eye, Zhang Xun was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly ran over: "Your Majesty!"

Ying Chengyu still looked at the two parties in the conflict and asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"

Zhang Xun hurriedly explained: "Just after Mr. Cai sent the message to Chang'an Township, Mrs. Han immediately sent all of us out of the house to organize the head of Guizhou to continue to retreat, so I came to this boulder."

"However, after arriving, I discovered that the head of Guizhou in this boulder was just letting the children stay in the place arranged by me, while the young, strong and old people moved their tents several hundred feet into the mountain!"

"I immediately wanted to move away these Guizhou heads with the intention of getting rid of thieves. However, they did not want to leave."

"They still think that as long as the ditch is wide enough, they can drain away the rainwater and avoid the worry of walking in the mountains!"

After Ying Chengyu was silent for a few breaths, he finally asked: "Because of the acres?"

Zhang Xun sighed softly: "You have a clear warning."

"Baoshili is located in a valley. Once Zenith Mountain moves away, all the houses and fields in Baoshili will disappear."

"The imperial court's relief can last for a while, but it cannot save the whole life."

"Although your Majesty is willing to lend the reclaimed land to Qian Shou for free."

"Of course, it is not easy to cultivate acres of land and build houses, and it is not known whether another acres of land can be reclaimed in Boulder after the mountain is gone."

"If there is no way to cultivate land around Baoshi, the people in Guizhou will have no choice but to leave their homeland and move elsewhere."

Looking at the people in Guizhou who were crying and wanting to go back to dig trenches to prevent mudslides, Ying Chengyu didn't know what to say.

Even though Ying Chengxuan and Mrs. Han ordered them to withdraw from the dangerous area early, they still guarded those fields and refused to leave, and they were not willing to pay the price with their lives for those fields!

It's hard not to be outraged.

But they also know how to use ditch drainage to prevent mudslides, and they are doing their best for the foundation of their survival, even at the expense of sacrifice!

What's wrong with them?

They just want to survive!

That's all!

After a long silence, Ying Chengyu finally spoke: "Inform all the heads of Guizhou in Chang'an Township."

"If I have a mouthful of food to eat, at least they have a mouthful of soup to drink."

"As long as I work hard, I will not let them die of cold or starvation."

"However, all dangerous areas must be evacuated!"

"Anyone who tries hard to persuade to no avail will be expelled from Chang'an Township; anyone who resists violently will be executed!"

"This matter is non-negotiable!"

Opening ditches is indeed a way to prevent and control mudslides.

However, this strategy requires a large amount of time and engineering work, and it cannot be accomplished overnight.

That is to say, future generations need to manage it on a regular basis on weekdays, and will not choose to improvise after it rains, let alone now that they can only rely on simple manpower for excavation.

Ying Chengyu can understand the mentality of the Guizhou leaders, but Ying Chengyu cannot sit back and watch the Guizhou leaders die!

Zhang Xun immediately handed over his hand: "Wei!"

"All the eunuchs and gentlemen in the palace and all the officials in Chang'an Township have gone to various places in Chang'an Township to supervise the suppression."

"Your Majesty, please go back to your home first to take charge of the overall situation!"

Although Chang'an Junfu does not need Ying Chengyu to take charge of the overall situation.

But Ying Chengyu is the pillar of strength in everyone's heart.

If Ying Chengyu catches the cold or even falls ill, no one will have the energy to provide disaster relief!

Ying Chengyu nodded slightly: "Excuse me, everyone."

"After this disaster, I will give you another reward."

After giving the instructions, Ying Chengyu stopped running around, but slowed down his horse and walked slowly towards Chang'an Township.

The ministers in the DPRK are vying for power.

The people in the mountains and wilds are struggling to survive.

This sharp contrast appeared in front of Ying Chengyu on the same day, making Ying Chengyu feel depressed in his heart.

However, Ying Chengyu could not fire shots at the officials in the DPRK and China to relieve his depression.

Although Ying Zheng was leading the fight, he did not neglect the arrangements for disaster relief.

Han Cang and other officials were so busy that they kept mobilizing and organizing grain and medicinal materials.

On the contrary, he, a depressed person, was actually unable to do anything in the face of this disaster.

After stepping into the door of Chang'an Jun's Mansion, Ying Chengyu breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice:

"It is said that the great craftsman Cao Mao and the great craftsman Qi Ai!"

"Please invite Han Cang, your minister, and Xu Min, your imperial magistrate, to go to Chang'an Jun's Mansion to speak to you after the meeting!"
