The Strongest System To Dominate the Three Kingdoms - Chapter 1184

()..,

In Yangzhou, beside the Yangtze River, the flood came suddenly.

Days of heavy rain caused the water level in many places downstream to soar, and finally caused a major flood.

The flood caused many people to lose their homes.

Many people were also killed and injured, at least 100,000 dead or missing.

Such a result is undoubtedly unwilling to see, but it has already happened.

Local officials still have something to do, after all, they started rescue in the first place.

But they found that they could mobilize only hundreds of policemen, who were not enough to protect and distribute food.

If there is no one to protect the food, I am afraid it will be looted by the disaster victims.

There is a more serious problem, that is, they don’t have enough food.

Several counties rushed to rescue the disaster, but they were able to resettle a lot of refugees, but there were a lot of people affected by the disaster.

“My lord, is there anything we can help?”

“My lord, what we need to do, please tell me.”

“My lord, we don’t have any other skills, but we have strength.”

A county magistrate in Yangzhou was very busy, and there were not many people available in his hands. At this time, a group of men came. They were dirty and muddy, and they might be victims of the disaster.

The county magistrate just wanted to refuse. This group of people is of unknown origin, and they are all men. If the food is robbed by them, the problem will be serious.

“My lord, please believe us. We are all retired troops. How can we ignore the difficulties of the people? If we don’t care, wouldn’t it be ashamed of the lord’s teachings?” said one of the men.

The county magistrate was named Chen Wu, and he was overjoyed immediately.

“Great, I am short of manpower here. You need to help maintain order, and you also need to help carry grain and grass.” Chen Wu didn’t doubt that they were retired soldiers.

He called two policemen and said to a group of people: “They are also retired soldiers. Now they are policemen. You follow him and let him take you.”

Chen Wu dared to use these people because he was also a retired soldier. He was previously injured in battle and was not suitable to go to the battlefield again, so he went to the county as a county magistrate.

He was able to become a county magistrate because he had studied at a higher academy and a military academy. He was an individual talent, and it was no problem to be a county magistrate after he retired.

They all came from the army, and he knew very well that this group of people had faith, and it was perfectly fine to leave things to them.

This Chen Wu is still worried, but the manpower problem, he wants to mobilize all the veterans.

The empire fought for years and many retired soldiers called them together.

There are also militias, who have also undergone a lot of training, and if they are organized, they can be rescued.

Chen Wu immediately arranged for someone to contact him. As long as enough veterans and militiamen were contacted, the manpower problem could be solved.

Then there is the food issue.

The food in the city was gathered by him, so he could temporarily top it up, but he didn’t know how many victims there were. There were tens of thousands of people in his county alone.

Tens of thousands of victims need to consume a lot of food.

He was walking on the street, he was going to gather food, but he saw the bank.

“Yes, the bank, if you borrow in the name of the county, you can borrow a sum of money, and if you have money, you can buy food.”

Chen Wu knew very well that the empire did not lack food, on the contrary, there was a lot of food, which should be available for purchase.

Chen Wu acted quickly and took his official seal to go directly to the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.

“I am the county magistrate Chen Wu. I need a large sum of money for disaster relief. I want to borrow a sum of money from the bank.” After Chen Wuliang revealed his identity, he explained his intentions directly.

Soon, Chen Wu borrowed more than one million silver coins, and he had to exchange part of the money into copper coins.

There is not enough cash in the bank. Most of them are silver bills. Nowadays, small amounts of silver and copper coins are needed for disaster relief.

But with money, there is confidence.

After Chen Wu got the money, he first went to buy grain, which could be paid for with a large amount of silver bills.

In the first batch, tens of thousands of silver coins were bought for grain, which has been able to solve some of the problems.

There may not be enough food in the city, and he has to go elsewhere to buy it.

Now that we have money, everything is easy to handle.

He immediately arranged for a group of police officers to bring weapons, and then assisted by a group of militiamen to buy food.

There are many victims, so they are afraid that someone will grab food.

And he has to organize disaster relief for the victims, and at the same time he wants them to help themselves.

This flood requires not only food, but also epidemic prevention, medicine, and a place to live.

Chen Wu immediately went to arrange others.

Chen Wu organized some victims to rescue themselves, some used tents, and some could only build some temporary houses.

Some people who were not affected by the disaster also spontaneously rescued the disaster, and some problems could be solved by accepting a few victims in their family.

The mood of the victims in the county where Chen Wu was located stabilized, and there was no major disturbance.

Because he has food in his hands, the people naturally don’t panic.

Home is gone, very sad, but compared to them are still alive, they have to continue.

So they began to save themselves.

But Chen Wu knows that if he can’t buy food, the problem will be more serious.

The food he went to buy was to the north where there was no flood.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Many other counties also suffered heavy losses. Some people were also active in disaster relief like Chen Wu, while others responded much more slowly.

There are millions of victims this time, so you can’t underestimate it at all.

Within a few days of the flood, they were helping themselves. Some people became seriously ill and eventually died.

But most of the people survived, and there was no large-scale displacement. They were temporarily resettled.

Chen Wu did a good job here and asked the victims to take a bath.

Especially no one can drink raw water.

The disaster was brought under control, and Chen Wu got news that they had bought food and were on the way to transport it.

By the way, I also bought a lot of medicines.

After busying for five or six days in a row, Chen Wu finally settled the victims properly.

In his county alone, hundreds of thousands of victims were resettled.

Originally they didn’t have that many, but other places could not accommodate so many victims, so some of them came here.

Chen Wu did not turn them away, but actively helped them.

A few days later, support from other places finally arrived, food, medicine, and tents were finally sent over~www.mtlnovel.com~ so Chen Wu was completely relieved.

However, what caused Chen Wu’s headache was the resettlement of these hundreds of thousands of victims.

Now they have been rescued, but they can’t be left alone.

In the past few days, he has spent more than one million silver coins. This is a lot of money, but there are too many victims.

This made it impossible for him to implement his plan to resettle these victims, and he couldn’t handle it without the money.

However, Chen Wu suddenly discovered that the number of victims was declining, and they left without having to settle by themselves.

“How could this happen?”

After learning about it, Chen Wu was also shocked. These victims were picked up and taken away by many workshop owners.

Directly take them to work in the workshop, and all problems will be solved by then.
