Chapter 39 Remaining life after catastrophe

Stayed in the cottage for one night, and continued on the road early the next morning.Although the road was muddy and difficult to walk after the rain, we still arrived at Zeyuan before noon.

Jian Lirong had imagined that the disaster area would be gloomy, but when she actually arrived there, she found that the disaster was far worse than imagined.

I thought that more than half a month had passed since the flood occurred, and no matter how bad it was, the post-disaster reconstruction should be gradually started, but what was presented before my eyes was still the mess after the flood washed away.

Previously, because of the prophecy of Master Shuiming, the imperial court had already prepared for it. It was expected that the people would be displaced in the event of a natural disaster. Therefore, as soon as the flood occurred, it dispatched silver from the treasury to Zeyuan, and ordered the surrounding areas of Zeyuan to Responding to the disaster relief operation, the surrounding areas initiated fundraising one after another with the announcement of Shengzhao.And these donations, except for a small part of Xiao Xueyin's robbing, the rest must have been embezzled by corrupt officials.

Jian Lirong led the team into Zeyuan City. There were patients lying on the ground and groaning everywhere on the street. If they were not sick, they were sallow, emaciated, and ragged.

The number of patients was so large that Jian Lirong was worried. She felt that the possibility of a plague was very high, so she ordered the accompanying people to use cloth strips instead of masks to cover their mouths and noses.

The more Jian Lirong sees the suffering of the victims, the more he hates corrupt officials.Although he really wanted to ask the prefect immediately, but the matter of the plague was more urgent, so he immediately cooperated with the local disaster relief team to carry out disaster relief activities.

For disaster relief activities, Sawahara County Magistrate only gave orders and did not participate.The real person in charge of organizing disaster relief activities is the county magistrate Chen Zhishu. He has been an upright and honest official for more than [-] years and spared no effort in disaster relief. He is a good official.And this person is as the name suggests, gentle and elegant, knowledgeable and reasonable, so that Jian Lirong had a good impression of him as soon as he met him.

Jian Lirong learned from Chen Zhishu's mouth that the plague had indeed occurred as he had guessed.A large number of animals died in the flood disaster. After the flood subsided and the temperature warmed up, the decay of animal carcasses caused the occurrence and transmission of animal diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease, bird flu, and anthrax.Moreover, the sanitary conditions in the disaster area are poor, especially the sanitation of drinking water is difficult to guarantee, and intestinal infectious diseases such as cholera and dysentery are also prevalent.As a result, the entire disaster area was filled with a breath of death.

In addition to distributing food, the porridge sheds set up by Chen Zhishu also distributed soup and medicine.But the condition was not under control at all, and even several doctors collapsed one after another.

In fact, Jian Lirong knew very little about the plague, and she felt scared just hearing about it.In the past, there were hospitals in modern times, but here even the only doctor we could rely on has collapsed.It's just that he can't shrink back, and he can't hesitate, he can only act immediately based on the points he can think of.

Step [-]: Order the production and use of masks; the sick people must be isolated; eating raw poultry and drinking water are prohibited; swimming and bathing in the river is prohibited; dishes and chopsticks must be boiled and disinfected; personal hygiene should be observed; , more to the yard to bask in the sun.

Step [-]: Assemble the disinfection team and dig a deep pit two to three meters high in the suburbs, sprinkle lime on the collected animal carcasses and bury them.Because it was impossible to tell whether the living poultry were infected with bird flu, they had to order that the whole city's chickens, ducks, and cattle and sheep infected with foot-and-mouth disease be buried alive.

Step [-]: Assemble the sanitation team to remove garbage and dirt, and use vinegar to make disinfection water to sterilize and disinfect the places where poultry are kept.

When Jian Lirong was working in full swing, the eunuch who heard the news hurried over to greet him.Jian Lirong didn't even think about it and had no time to talk to him, but the eunuch who neglected the disaster was afraid of being questioned and kept following him anxiously, so annoyed that after getting the black account book from Xiao Xueyin, Jian Lirong directly threw him in the face and asked him what else he had Easy to say.

The eunuch held the black ledger and knelt down in front of Jian Lirong with a "plop" to argue: "This... there must be something wrong..."

But there are all the witnesses and evidences, and Jian Lirong would listen to him: "As the magistrate and prefect, you are in charge of government orders. Not only did you fail to do a good job in disaster relief, but you dared to embezzle and embezzle disaster relief funds. It is really unforgivable. And if it is not because of If the disaster relief is not fast enough and in place, the plague will not happen. From today onwards, you will be removed from the post of prefect, and you will be monitored and waited for!"

The fourth step is to punish corrupt officials.Headed by the prefect, all officials involved in corruption all confiscated their family property for post-disaster reconstruction.

The series of actions that Jian Lirong took after arriving in Zeyuan were like a strong wind, quickly blowing away the cloud of sorrow hanging over Zeyuan.The people of Zeyuan swept away the gloom, cheered up one after another, and worked together to start comprehensive management of housing, roads, water conservancy, and greening under the leadership of Jian Lirong.

One month later, the epidemic was under control, and post-disaster reconstruction was proceeding in an orderly manner.Jian Lirong felt very relieved looking at the revitalized Zeyuan City.If there is anything I am not used to, it is being worshiped as a living Bodhisattva by the people of Zeyuan, and no matter where I go, I am full of praise.

Jian Lirong looked at Ze Yuan who no longer needed his command, and planned to leave.The people of Zeyuan are naturally reluctant to let go, and try to persuade them to stay.It's just that apart from the disaster, Jian Lirong has always been concerned about the war in the Southern Barbarians. This time, she has made up her mind to go. Before leaving, she promised to visit again when the teacher returned to the court, and hoped to see a brand new Zeyuan City by then.

So, under the welcome of all the people in Zeyuan City, Jian Lirong left Zeyuan with the original team that had set off from the imperial city to Zeyuan for disaster relief, and headed south all the way.

One more thing Jian Lirong did before leaving Zeyuan City was to promote the county magistrate Chen Zhishu to be the prefect.

Jian Lirong thought about handing over Zeyuan City to Cao Yu's jurisdiction, but Cao Yu made it clear that he didn't want to be an official, so he had no choice but to give up.Besides, that guy Si Luo, if Cao Ting stayed, he would definitely stay with him, and brother Xiao Ting was used as a bait to lure him back to the country.Huh~ Brother Xiaoyu, don't blame Xiaorong for selling you~ Xiaorong really has committed a lot of sins...
