Awakening ability

Chapter 203 When the disaster relief is in progress

After copying the smelting technology of some materials necessary for infrastructure construction, Fang Hao finally stopped copying books.

The steam engine is still temporarily ignored.

Even good steel cannot be smelted, and even if a steam engine is made, it will not be qualified.

The road has to be taken step by step, so don't be in a hurry.

After copying those books, he returned to the National Teacher's Mansion and stayed there for half a month.

I don't know what's going on in the disaster area.

So I went to the disaster area.

At this time, he was very thankful that he was a Golden Core cultivator and could fly with a sword.

Without such a level of cultivation, it would not be easy to run such a long distance in such a backward world.

It has now entered winter.

All the people in the disaster relief office have arrived in the disaster area, even the staff from the furthest province have already arrived in their area of ​​responsibility, and have received the relief supplies and started distributing the relief supplies.

While the brigade was still on their way, the staff and directors who were brought by Fang Haofeijian to guard the warehouse earlier had already started preparations for disaster relief.

The main thing is to communicate with the local government office and ask for the latest list of victims.

There are too few people, and they dare not tell the local government how much relief supplies they have here.

It is quite difficult for one person to guard a large warehouse.

As long as the wind leaks out, the local snakes and the hungry victims may wash away the warehouse.

Fang Hao also conducted on-the-spot investigations in the disaster area for more than ten days, and did not dare to have an overestimation of human nature driven by hunger or greed.

He also just requisitioned those warehouses. After getting the warehouse keys, he drove away the people who were in charge of the warehouses. He didn't say that the disaster relief supplies would be stored soon. The local people didn't know that the disaster relief supplies had arrived in the warehouses.

After the staff who were guarding the warehouse in the office got the detailed information of the affected people in the local area, they began to compare it with the information they had obtained from the Ministry of Households before, sorting it out, and laying the foundation for the distribution of materials after the brigade arrived.

The information they obtained from the Ministry of Household Affairs was a few months ago, and it is inevitable that it is somewhat different from the actual situation now, and must be reorganized.

According to the latest information, the number of people affected by the disaster in various places is much smaller than that of the household department.

There are three reasons for the large decrease in the number of people.

One reason is that some people have rebuilt their homes on the ruins and obtained enough food through production for self-help or relief from relatives and friends.

Another reason is that some affected people had some fields under their own names, and sold those fields to obtain the conditions for survival.

Another reason is that he couldn't hold on any longer and died.

It is necessary to do such an induction.

When the brigade arrives, relief supplies can be distributed based on new information.

After the vanguard arrived, the local government also stepped up its efforts to distribute porridge.

After all, the people in the capital have already come here. If people died under the noses of these Tai students because of ineffective disaster relief, it would be unjustifiable.

The directors all came here with Shang Fang's sword, accompanied by the Ouchi swordsman, and if they failed, they would take their lives.

Anyway, a large amount of disaster relief supplies will be distributed, and it will not cost much food to cook the porridge to thicken in a short time, so there is no need to lose the big for the small.

With the arrival of the personnel from the disaster relief office, even if the disaster relief has not yet started, the situation of the victims has improved to a certain extent.

After all, these people represent the National Teacher's Office.

It is an existence that is more awe-inspiring than the imperial court.

Large troops arrived in the disaster area one after another.

After reaching the disaster area, the distribution of relief materials began.

Only then did the local officials know that the relief materials had been stored.

However, they also did not have the opportunity to make a difference.

The disaster relief office was overstaffed, and soldiers from the provincial capital were called in to assist. Every official warehouse was guarded by at least a hundred soldiers.

Under such circumstances, no one would dare to steal the materials in the warehouse.

As for looting by the victims, that doesn’t exist anymore.

Because after the brigade came, the distribution of food began, and all the registered victims could come to receive food, clothes and quilts.

If it can be collected legally, there is no reason to risk beheading to loot the supplies in the official warehouse.

When distributing supplies, the Disaster Relief Office also invited the assistance of the local government.

With the assistance of the local county government, each disaster-affected village will elect more than a dozen representatives of the victims to help distribute supplies.

On the one hand, it is to improve the efficiency of distribution, and on the other hand, it is to let them identify whether the disaster victims who came to receive the supplies have claimed falsely and whether they have received them repeatedly.

The distribution of disaster relief materials is based on a township serving as a distribution point.

Two to three employees of the disaster relief office and a dozen soldiers were sent to one point to supervise the distribution, and local victims were organized to assist in the transportation of materials.

Each disaster victim who helps with transportation can receive a certain amount of additional food, so mobilization is no problem.

When actually distributing, the materials are piled up according to the list of victims in each village, and those victims come to the distribution point in the village to collect them, and the representatives of the victims of the village assist in the distribution.

Disaster victims in each village can only go to the heap point of their village to get it, and they have to get their fingerprints to get it.

Each village is watched by more than a dozen villager representatives of the village, and the possibility of impersonation is very small—unless the relationship between the villagers of the dozen or so different families can be opened up.

Because it is necessary to supervise the distribution of relief materials to every victim, the efficiency of distribution is not very high.

But only in this way can we ensure that the relief materials can actually fall into the hands of the victims and save lives.

When Fang Hao came from the Imperial Prefecture, the distribution of disaster relief materials in various places had already begun.

He looked at every place. Although the efficiency was not very satisfactory, the employees in the disaster relief office were still very serious about their work, including the directors who went to the material distribution site to supervise.

The efficiency is not high. The biggest problem is that transportation is inconvenient and the transportation of disaster relief materials is very slow.

——Even if he stored all the relief supplies in public warehouses in every disaster-stricken county, it still required a lot of manpower, material resources, and time to transport them from the county to the town.

There is no solution for hardware problems.

This also strengthened his determination to carry out infrastructure construction in Taiqiu Kingdom.

If the infrastructure is not good enough, there are so many problems in doing charity.

He was quite satisfied with the performance of the employees in the disaster relief office.

In those employees, he saw a spirit of serving the people.

He believes that those people really put that belief into such work.
