After discussing the disaster relief plan overnight, the grain, grass and medicines on the train began to be distributed according to proportion and transported to the destination using horse-drawn carriages collected from other counties.
At the same time, telegrams were sent to all areas that were not affected by the disaster, asking them to release all the people who were imprisoned under Wang Zhiming's order, and to kill those who disobeyed the order.
The county magistrates knew that the situation was not good, and after receiving the notice, they quickly released the people and said how they were being coerced!
"Damn it, these shameless guys actually dare to say that they were coerced!"
"That's right! If someone from them had come forward earlier, why would Longxi be like this?"
"We should arrest them all and chop them down, and give the officials all over the world a warning...!"
After seeing the telegram, the old guys said angrily.
"There is no rush. The situation in Longxi is complicated and post-disaster reconstruction work is very difficult. Before it is fully managed, other counties must not cause trouble again!"
Ying Feiyu did not agree with their statement.
Not to mention how many replacement officials would be needed to remove all these county officials, the handover work alone would be very complicated.
It's better to wait until the victims are almost dealt with, and then order the officials to send people over!
"Your Majesty has thought carefully!"
When the veterans think about it, this is indeed the truth.
"Has all the wheat straw I ordered arrived?"
When the matter was almost discussed, Ying Feiyu looked toward the door and asked.
The soldiers quickly reported, "Back to Your Majesty, two full cars have arrived, and there will be more than a dozen cars to follow!"
"good!"
Ying Feiyu nodded with satisfaction.
"Your Majesty, can this little wheat straw really control these deserts?"
Ying Feiyu had already explained the methods of desert control to them in detail on the train, but some officials still couldn't help but ask.
"That's right! As long as you follow the method I told you, it will definitely work!"
There is so much sand in Longxi that it is impossible to transport it by manpower alone. It can only be managed slowly.
In addition to planting trees, wheatgrass control is a good method.
Bundle the wheat straw and arrange it in a grid with one meter spacing horizontally and vertically. When the wheat straw rots, it can provide nutrients to the grass seeds and grow plants.
With these plants, the yellow sand is fixed and will not continue to spread.
"It will be a while before the wheat is harvested at this time. These wheat straws are collected from all over Daqin. It probably won't take long! Fortunately, the wheat and rice will be harvested in a month. By then, there will be as much wheat straw as you want. Longxi's The yellow sand can be better managed!”
Zhang Han said.
"Yes! Once desertification occurs, it is very difficult to control it. It cannot be changed overnight! This is why I do not advocate indiscriminate deforestation!"
Ying Feiyu sighed deeply.
Cutting down is very easy. With just a few blows of the ax, a towering tree that has been growing for more than ten or even decades is gone.
When the wind and sand blow, the only things that can stop it are these trees!
"Your Majesty said so!"
Everyone bowed their hands and bowed.
In the past, no one really realized the seriousness of desertification mentioned by His Majesty, and it is only now that we really understand it.
This yellow sand is like a ferocious beast. If not handled properly, it will be swallowed up wherever it goes, and it is difficult to stop it!
Fortunately, the situation is not too serious and can be brought under control soon after some management.
But if you want to go back to the past, I'm afraid it will take many years of governance!
"Okay, let's all go back and rest. We'll set off as planned early tomorrow morning!"
Ying Feiyu waved his hand and dismissed everyone.
Early the next morning, each led the assigned soldiers and craftsmen to the disaster area for rescue!
At this time, Ying Feiyu wished that cars had become popular so that soldiers could ride in cars without having to walk step by step.
Not only does it save the soldiers' energy, but it also increases the rescue time!
It would be better if there were large excavators and bulldozers, which would provide greater convenience for the reconstruction of disaster areas.
Thinking of this, Ying Feiyu, who was swaying on the horse, sighed deeply, "Alas..."
"Your Majesty, are you worried about the yellow sand all over the sky?"
Wang Ben, who was riding a horse next to him, heard the noise and asked.
"Uh...yeah!"
Ying Feiyu hesitated for a moment and nodded.
With this old guy’s character, if he mentioned excavators and bulldozers, he would definitely pursue them and get to the bottom of it.
Usually he might still have the patience to tell him his thoughts.
But now looking at the yellow sand in his eyes, he is really in no mood!
Longxi is a large area, and now half of it is covered with yellow sand. You can imagine how difficult it is to manage it!
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the saplings you told us are being transported to Longxi from all over the Qin Dynasty. When we settle the victims, they can also help control the sand!"
Wang Ben held the reins in his hand and said with confidence.
"Well! The first priority now is to settle the victims!"
Ying Feiyu nodded in agreement.
The wind and sand in Longxi have almost stopped, and there are only occasional gusts of wind blowing through, bringing up a burst of yellow sand, which has no impact on the progress of the march.
Since most of the soldiers were on foot, stopping and going, it took several days to reach their destination and rescue the first batch of victims!
A tent was set up in a safe place at the foot of the mountain, allowing the people to rest inside first. After they had eaten, military doctors and medical students checked their bodies before taking them with them!
Since the villagers were relatively scattered and difficult to manage, Ying Feiyu planned to take them to Lueyang City first, concentrate manpower, clean up Lueyang City, let the people settle down, and then slowly control the yellow sand!
The management of Huangsha cannot be done in a day or two. If the people are too scattered, a large number of soldiers and military doctors will have to be spared to take care of them, which will affect the progress of Huangsha management!
"Your Majesty, you are finally here. Am I dreaming? I thought the court didn't care about us in Longxi or Lueyang!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving your life! If it weren't for Your Majesty and all the officials, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that the Cao Min would be dead now!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty...!"
After the first batch of victims were found and identified, the people knelt down, kowtowed, and cried bitterly.
Ying Feiyu quickly asked them to get up and ordered the military doctor to check their bodies.
There's nothing wrong with the young and strong guy. He's just hungry and has his chest pressed against his back. He just needs some noodles and broth to replenish his nutrition!
It’s just that the elderly and children are more likely to get sick.
Some people just caught the wind and cold while sleeping in the mountains, and could be cured by boiling a few decoctions.
There are also some old diseases caused by various reasons. The situation is very complicated and requires a good treatment condition to be adjusted slowly!
Considering the situation of the victims, Ying Feiyu dispersed the team and asked them to search for the victims in their respective areas of responsibility. They must check carefully to ensure that no one is left behind.
At the same time, a team was also sent to Lueyang City to clean up first. If the work was too difficult, tents were set up first so that the victims could have a place to shelter from the wind and rain when they arrived!
