The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

It is no wonder that the report sent to Chang'an City was only a few words. The county magistrate was gone, and even the report was written by officials from other places. After writing it, it was sent to Chang'an City at full speed.

After talking with the head of the village, Li Fu returned to the camp.

Li Fu asked Yan Lide to hand over the porridge distribution to others.

Then, he took Jiang Que and Yan Lide back to the camp.

At this time, the camp in the army had been built and the tents were also built.

Entering the military tent, Li Fu informed the two of the current situation.

"The local officials are gone, so next, we will directly lead these people. The village head is still alive, and he can help us when the time comes." Li Fu said: "The most urgent things are food, medicinal materials, and places to live."

"The weather is still a little warmer now, but even so, at night, those dilapidated shanties are not enough to shelter them from the wind and rain.

The rainy season has not completely passed, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation of these disaster-stricken people are all problems.

Of course, the most important thing is food. The good news is that many people survived, but the bad news is that the food we brought can't last for long." Li Fu said: "We have to report to the court and find a way to transfer food from other places as soon as possible."

"In such an autumn, the harvest in the whole Guanzhong will not be good, and there will be a shortage of food everywhere..." Jiang Que said.

Yan Lide thought about it, and said tentatively: "How about transferring food from Luoyang? The former Sui Dynasty built the largest imperial granary, Hanjia Granary, in Luoyang."

"But, is there any food in Hanjia Granary?" Jiang Que was puzzled.

Luoyang, a place of disputes, was originally occupied by Wang Shichong.

In the third year of Wude, Li Shimin, who was still the King of Qin, was ordered to conquer Wang Shichong.

This battle lasted for a year.

From July of the third year of Wude to May of the fourth year of Wude.

During this year, most of the food and grass for Wang Shichong's troops came from Hanjia Granary.

"We should always ask, whether there is or not, at present, the most likely place to be mobilized is Hanjia Granary." Yan Lide said: "There is no jujube, and there is no jujube. There is also a little hope."

"That's right, Old Yan is right." Li Fu responded: "I will submit a memorial to Your Majesty right now, and even if it is not Hanjia Granary, the court will find a way to mobilize the surrounding grain and transport it here."

Li Fu and his troops came to transport food, but it was just a drop in the bucket.

What's the use of the four granaries on Zhuangzi? It can support these disaster victims for more than half a month, which is already the limit of the limit.

During this period, we are completely trying to buy time for the court to dispatch, so that the disaster victims here will not have to wait too long and die of starvation or disease.

"You have all seen the situation during the day. Tell me about the plans we made on the road before, and those ideas. How many of them can be realized and how to adjust them." Li Fu said.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. After coming here and seeing such a scene, Li Fu couldn't sleep.

Now I am thinking about how to do post-disaster reconstruction.

"I think there is no problem with the original plan in general. It is nothing more than two parts. One is the river, and the other is the reconstruction of Linying County." Jiang Que said: "I can be responsible for the river. As for the reconstruction, I have to trouble Yan Shaojiang to worry more."

Yan Lide nodded. There is nothing wrong with such a division of labor.

"There are doctors in the army. Starting tomorrow, we will temporarily separate the sick victims and set up treatment areas." Li Fu said, "Doing so will also prevent more people from being infected with the disease. If you get sick now, it will be fatal if you are not careful."

"Also, regarding the resettlement of the people, today I followed the head of the village into the crowd. The living environment, alas, can't say much about it. It's good enough to survive, but it will not be appropriate in the long run."

"So, the most urgent task is to gather those who still have the strength to work, those who are strong and healthy, to rebuild Linying. Didn't we bring the army here? Everyone, put the weapons in the warehouse, and roll up your sleeves to work!"

"Your Highness, this is probably not appropriate. If there is any chaos, we still have to rely on the army to maintain order and ensure safety." Yan Lide said.

"Everyone will gather in the camp early tomorrow morning. I will give a speech." Li Fu said.

Li Fu said this to Zhao Chong.

"Yes!" Zhao Chong bowed and responded.

Although Yan Lide didn't know what Li Fu wanted to say to the soldiers, he didn't try to persuade him because he was determined to do so. Their safety could be guaranteed with the guards, but if they wanted to maintain order... the number of guards would not be enough.

Li Fu had never thought about this problem. In his opinion, whether it was the soldiers or the guards,Everyone has to work!

"In addition, the most urgent thing for post-disaster reconstruction is site selection." Li Fu said: "Choose the most suitable place for planning."

"I have seen the map. The original county town is too close to the Ying River. Once there is a problem with the river, like this time, the county town will be gone. Therefore, the reconstruction of Linying cannot be at the original address. My suggestion is to move it to the south."

Yan Lide looked at the map and nodded in agreement.

"That's right. The original place can no longer be built. The river burst its banks and washed away the original place, which is now covered with silt and various stranded debris.

If we clean it up, it will cost too much manpower and material resources, which is not cost-effective.

The overall migration to the south is the best choice. As for the place..."

Yan Lide pondered for a while: "I think the surrounding area is very good. The terrain is relatively higher than the original place. Moreover, it is close to the current disaster victims, so it is convenient to work. We don't have to walk too far and let everyone waste their energy on unnecessary round trips."

"If it's just for convenience at the moment, this is indeed the most suitable place." Jiang Que said: "In the long run, if we can go a little further south, it will be better. This way."

Jiang Que pointed to a place on the map: "As long as we move a little bit, there is a tributary of the Ying River here."

Yan Lide looked at the place Jiang Que pointed and nodded.

"This is also a good choice, but if we ask them to move over there now, I'm afraid..."

"Then don't move them yet, let them stay here for the time being." Li Fu said, "We don't know if it will rain heavily in the future, but here, at least it's safe, and this place is not far from here, so it's acceptable."

"Tomorrow morning, Old Yan, you have to take people over there to see the actual situation." Li Fu looked at Yan Lide.
