Chapter 357 Epidemic Prevention Event Month 69/115
On the fourth night, Ge Songdao finally came back.
As soon as he arrived at the Southwest Governor's Office, he summoned all the officials who had already been waiting in the Governor's Office to discuss until the next morning.
When Liu Mingqi rushed over, he happened to send off a group of officials and sat in the conference hall to drink tea to refresh himself.
The rain continued this morning, but it was getting a little lighter, no longer like the one covering the sky and the sun.
It seems that it will stop in one or two days at most.
But Liu Mingqi looked heavy when she saw Ge Songdao.
"Mr. Ge, what's going on?" Liu Mingqi asked immediately.
Ge Songdao had just talked with his subordinates all night, his voice was a little hoarse, "It's very bad."
Liu Mingqi's heart sank, "What's wrong?"
Ge Songdao said: "The upper reaches of the Minjiang River are a little better, but when we arrive here, Dujiangyan is almost unable to bear the load... This is all a trivial matter. If Dujiangyan opens to discharge floods, at most it will only flood Ziyang below. Prepare in advance, and the impact will not be great.
However, Yibin, where the Jinsha River and Minjiang River converge, has already started flooding, and the dam can be stable for the time being, but the three surrounding counties and villages have been flooded. This is just the upper reaches of the Yangtze River!
Zhang Zhongping sent a document from Chongqing. Qijiang, Wanxian, Fengjie and other places in Chongqing all encountered disasters of floods and floods. Before anyone else arrived in Chongqing, he received emergency documents from all over the country."
Speaking of this, Ge Songdao smiled bitterly, "So now the food is still in the warehouse outside Chengdu city, and there is no departure at all! How do you ask Zhang Zhongping to provide disaster relief?"
The boy nodded.
Sichuan governor Zhang Zizhe left Chengdu that night, when it had just started to rain heavily.
The heavy rain made the road muddy and difficult to walk. There are almost a thousand miles from Chengdu to Chongqing. Even if there is an extremely hard official road, it will never be possible to reach it in just three days.
Even people are like this, let alone things.
Most people in charge of transportation want to wait until the heavy rain stops before shipping, which is safer.
I didn’t know that the heavy rain would last for three days, and it was still falling today, which was really annoying!
Ge Songdao, a killing god, also showed a helpless expression at this moment.
If another person was changed, Ge Songdao wouldn't want to say so much.
However, He Fei wrote a document before and went to the Governor's Office, specifically pointing out that it was Liu Mingqi who reminded him, which shows that Prince Yu cared about the people and had a heart for the country and the people.
Moreover, he also read the notes left by Liu Mingqi when he came back. He also knew about Liu Mingqi coming to find him every day these days.
With this attitude, Ge Songdao would not neglect the young man.
Even if he is a clan of the royal family.
Besides, Liu Mingqi is famous for having many ideas and can solve problems, even Ge Songdao, who is far away in Sichuan, knows it.
He also hopes that after telling the situation, Liu Mingqi can give more useful suggestions.
After hesitating for a moment, Ge Songdao decided to reveal more information to Liu Mingqi, "Your Highness, I have received a letter from the court from the flying pigeon. The situation is very bad now! Just as you judged before, the two rivers, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, are a little bit of a sign of a dragon turning over.
The court was very worried that if two rivers raged at the same time, how should we come to provide disaster relief to overcome the difficulties!"
Liu Mingqi was happy: "Is the court ready?"
"The court has received the memorial you asked He Fei to write. It is precisely because He Fei emphasized that it is your opinion that the senior officials in the court attach more importance to it." Ge Songdao said: "After more than ten days ago, they had issued a document to the provinces and towns along the Yangtze River, asking them to make various preparations to check for shortcomings and fill in the gaps.
It’s a pity that you didn’t talk about the Yellow River before. The court also learned through the following feedback that this year’s Yellow River is also not honest and has flood hazards. I hope it’s not too late to make up for the sheep!”
Liu Mingqi is not a god.
He just discovered something wrong with the Yangtze River when he passed by.
The Yangtze River and the Yellow River are not the same origin river, so of course there is no necessary connection between them.
But Liu Mingqi has also felt shocked these days.
The Yangtze River and the Yellow River rage at the same time, and the number of floods at the same time is very rare in history, right?
God knows why Da Kang Chao encountered it!
The miserable emperor, the miserable common people!!
Thinking of this, he suddenly said, "By the way, have all the food harvested this year?"
According to normal circumstances, it should be not until July to harvest food.
Now, there are still about ten days and half a month left before the normal harvest time. If all the rice fields are flooded at this time, then the people will cry!
Ge Songdao nodded: "On the first day of the rain, I asked all the places in the province close to the Yangtze River and Minjiang River waterways to harvest food quickly. Even the severely affected areas of Yibin and Chongqing, most of them have been harvested. Now they are just waiting for the sky to clear! I hope they won't continue to go on!"
After the rice and wheat are harvested, it is necessary to dry it and remove the moisture.
Otherwise, if you are soaked in water or are always wet, you will not be able to store it for a long time - it is like soaking rice before cooking. How many days can this be stored?
If it keeps raining and cannot be dried, the rice harvest will be in vain, and the people will still suffer heavy losses.
Liu Mingqi also knew this, and he smiled and said, "The rain has been a little lighter today, and some places may have stopped... The weather is hot in summer, and as long as it doesn't rain, the ground will easily dry."
"I hope so!"
Ge Songdao paused and said, "Your Highness, I don't know what you think we should do in Sichuan when encountering this situation?"
What else can I do?
Two important magic weapons for disaster relief, instant noodles and tents. As long as you have these two, food and accommodation will be solved, you can basically be safe.
Unfortunately, both of these things are lacking now, so I can only think of another way.
"I have no good idea about how to sort out the river and clear the fields." Liu Mingqi said: "But when so many disaster victims gather together, there are a few points to pay attention to."
"you say!"
"The most fear of a major epidemic after a major disaster, so we must take precautions. First of all, we must not pick up domestic animals soaked in floods to eat, even if they are cooked.
Second, never use contaminated floods, and you should not drink them directly. You need to boil the water before drinking it, so that you can effectively avoid illness.
The third is to ensure personal hygiene. For those who have lost their homes and gathered together, they cannot urinate or defecate anywhere. It is best to build a toilet in a unified manner.
Fourth, once people have colds, fevers, dysentery, etc., they must be isolated and not allowed to contact ordinary people. This can cut off human-to-human transmission and ensure everyone's safety.
Fifth, doesn’t Chengdu Prefecture have a large amount of honeycomb coal reserves? It just so happens that these honeycomb coals are distributed to them for heating at night. Once it is warmed up, things will not happen easily. Moreover, with honeycomb coal, boiling water and cooking will also become easier."
Ge Songdao himself felt that it was a bit too cumbersome, "Will this be too tiny? And the people will feel that there are too many constraints? What should they do if they don't do it?"
Liu Mingqi said seriously: "If there is no strict control, how can it have a good effect? Sir, just think about what consequences will be caused by the plague spread among the thousands of people, and you will know that it is not too rigorous."
Ge Songdao nodded, "That's true."
He originally wanted to say that in fact, there were floods in Yunmengze last year, and it was not so strict in epidemic prevention, but nothing happened.
But Yunmengze is Yunmengze, and Sichuan is Sichuan.
Last year was last year, this year was this year.
Yunmengze’s good luck may not be able to continue to Sichuan.
Moreover, he was a decisive person who killed the decisively. Once he thought of the serious consequences that Liu Mingqi said, he immediately decided to do it.
Even if you do useless work, it is better than crying when a disaster strikes.
Seeing Ge Songdao agreeing, Liu Mingqi also put down the big stone in her heart.
In Sichuan, as long as it is what Ge Songdao wants to do, it will definitely be executed.
However, he couldn't help but reminded him again: "Sir, in order to let them do what they do, you will send a large number of yamen runners and garrisons to patrol and inspect the disaster victims' gathering areas. If you don't do what you do, you will immediately punish them. Over time, they will strictly follow the requirements and our goal will be achieved."
"I see."
Ge Song Dao's jaw agreed.
Liu Mingqi said: "Then follow the same old behavior, whether it is food or honeycomb coal, don't give these things in vain, let them use labor for relief."
"I know this." Ge Songdao said, "On the one hand, they won't get it for nothing, and on the other hand, they don't have the extra energy to do other things."
The boy smiled.
He is truly worthy of being the God of Ge Killing, and he is very good at preventing those who are interested.
He didn't need to talk about it, he understood the mystery.
In ancient times, disaster relief was never perfect, so it was often used and was most likely to cause trouble.
"The minister thinks that the contents of what Your Highness just said can be written and then the minister will be submitted to the court." Ge Songdao also said, "If such epidemic prevention measures can be extended to the whole world and reduce a large number of deaths, then your noble will definitely be of great benefit."
"good!"
Liu Mingqi smiled and said, "Actually, there is no need to say that Lord Ge, I am also going to write a memorial to the emperor. It will be better if you help me hand it over to the cabinet ministers."
Liu Mingqi's influence on the court was less than one-tenth of Ge Songdao.
He was a dignified second-rank official, a magistrate of the three southwestern provinces, and a capable minister with outstanding achievements.
Every word such a person says will attract others' attention.
...
After writing this, I feel that there are so many disasters and difficulties in the Great Kang Dynasty.
