Ren did not express his opinion. He only arrived in Qiongshan yesterday evening. Without investigation, he has no right to speak. [No pop-up novel website] After a while, he was going to see the situation in person: A few days ago, he had already called the health department to collect a certain number of stool samples, waiting for him to bring the mobile inspection vehicle from the Ministry of Health to come for inspection.
The meeting ended after an hour. Liu Xiang assigned tasks to the naturalized cadres. In the eyes of Lane and others, the tasks on the task cards were all simplified to the extreme. This is also a characteristic of the "Qiongshan Experience". Quantitative standards that are easiest for naturalized civilian cadres to understand and avoid vague terms. In order to adapt to the naturalized civilian cadres with extremely low educational level and no administrative experience.
After the meeting, Liu Xiang held a meeting with the veterans of the disaster relief team. The leader of the disaster relief team is Yang Yun, director of the Labor Department under the Civil Affairs People's Committee. This person is a third-level human resources manager who once served as the head of the human resources department and chairman of the labor union in a small and medium-sized sweatshop in the south.
Having this person lead the team fully illustrates the Government Administration's intention in this regard. It seems that the leadership is targeting these refugee labor forces. Liu Xiang felt that his guess was not wrong, because among the visitors were veterans of the propaganda department.
Liu Xiang and other elders went up to the east gate tower.
"This typhoon! This heavy rain!" Liu Xiang muttered while standing on the east gate tower wearing a raincoat, with his orderlies and guards behind him. Several counties retained yamen servants and clerks wearing bamboo hats and raincoats to stand respectfully in the rain and listen to his orders.
The other elders, under the care of their respective secretaries and guards, were also on the tower looking down at the people below. In order to give the refugees a place to shelter from the wind and rain as soon as possible, Liu Xiang ordered to use the eaves on both sides of the street to put up wooden bars directly above the street. Cover it with reed foil and build a temporary rain shelter. Looking from the city gate, long sheds have been set up all over the street, which looks like the old times in some counties where they set up sheds to sell New Year's goods during the New Year. The city gate is guarded by soldiers from the Qiongshan County Guard Company selected from several local military households in Qiongshan County. To maintain full deterrence, all soldiers' rifles were bayoneted.
According to statistics from the Qiongshan County Office, there are approximately 10,000 refugees gathered under the city. Although these people have a temporary shelter from the wind and rain, the population is extremely crowded and extremely humid, so it is not a long-term solution.
When Ren pointed out that serious epidemics might break out under such arrangements, Liu Xiang said that this was a transitional approach.
"I have discussed with the liaison officers that typhoon disasters occur several times every year in the United States. However, this time the heavy rain lasted for a very long time, which is why it turned out like this. But the water will recede in half a month at most. …”
"Are they sure?"
"There's no reason not to believe the local people's experience, right? In addition, I also asked people to clean up the buildings in the school grounds - there are one or two hundred bathroom barracks there. Unfortunately, they have not been used for many years and have all collapsed." Liu Xiang said, "The disinfection work is also I have been doing it all the time. The people in the health department give out ginger soup and Biwen powder every day."
Yang Yun suddenly interrupted: "How much rations do you give each of them per day now?"
Liu Xiang said: "According to Chen Sigen, each person needs to be supplied with 1,400 kilocalories per day. I can't count the calories. Now refugees, regardless of gender, age or child, are given two bowls of vegetable porridge per person per day. 200 grams of brown rice per person, plus some Vegetables like taro and sweet potatoes.”
Of course Yang Yun knew: when he was in the sweatshop, the employee canteen was also under his jurisdiction. The calories per gram of rice were only 350 kilocalories, and the food provided by the Qiongshan County Office had only kilocalories. It can only ensure that the refugees will not starve to death for the time being.
Liu Xiang has his own reasons for setting supply standards so low. Even if supplied at such a low level, 2' of food would be consumed every day. And all he can use is the limited grain storage in Qiongshan County's county treasury.
The grain storage in Qiongshan was originally quite considerable. A large part of the official grain storage of Qiongzhou Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty was stored in warehouses in Qiongshan County. In addition to part of it being transferred to Lingao for processing, another part was kept in warehouses in the city. inside. However, Liu Xiang did not have the right to use the "national grain reserves" under the jurisdiction and deployment of the Planning Institute. He could only use the grain stored in the county treasury.
Now is the time to wait for the summer grain to appear, and both companies' reserves are very scarce. He borrowed grain from the local gentry, but the gentry all cried out for poverty. Some even begged Liu Xiang to reduce summer grain, saying that the land was flooded and there was no harvest. Liu Xiang coerced Li Yu and finally got 200 shi of grain.
These days, he has been organizing refugees to collect food in areas where the water has receded, collecting and baking flooded rice, taro and sweet potatoes to use as relief food.
"... It won't take too long. The food in the county treasury is very limited. I can deal with it for three or four days at most. If it takes longer, I will have to ask Wu De to approve the food for me." Liu Xiang didn't know that Yang Yundai No relief supplies came, so I had to make the situation more serious.
Yang Yun nodded noncommittally. Liu Xiang felt that he was not interested in allocating relief food. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He had some understanding of the way people were appointed in the Executive Committee. Many of them were unscrupulous Machiavellians. In this environment with unprecedentedly little "political correctness", what could they do? It's hard to say. He thought that before the typhoon hit, he was summoned to Lingao to hold several working meetings on food and labor, and the direction of the wind was already clear.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get chills on his back. I thought the executive committee would not cause any trouble. Disaster relief and famine relief are matters related to the overall situation of the people. If you are not careful, you will get out of hand and make a mess of the good situation. This situation of stability and unity in Qiongshan County was achieved with great efforts. . But don’t let it get ruined by some people’s hot-headedness.
Yang Yun suddenly asked: "Where is the porridge shed?"
"It's in the open space at the end of the street." Liu Xiang said and looked at his watch, "The porridge service will start in two hours."
Yang Yun discussed with the other elders and told the secretary behind him: "Let's take care of them and set them up on the soup kitchen."
"Are you in a hurry? What do you want to take?" Liu Xiang asked.
"Of course it's a good thing." Yang Yun said, "Listen to me, this time the executive committee's plan for Qiongzhou's disaster relief is like this..."
The porridge shed was built on a large piece of empty dirt at the end of the street. Liu Xiang had someone put a layer of soil on the ground and spread gravel to make it as dry as possible. A total of ten sheds were built in the open space, each with several large pots. These pots are usually borrowed from official temples and Taoist temples, and half of them are borrowed from the homes of local wealthy families. At this moment, the porridge soup began to boil in the big pot in the porridge shed.
Liu Xiang accompanied Yang Yun and others to the porridge shed to check them one by one. Yang Yun picked up a spoon and stirred in the large pot. In addition to rice grains, the porridge soup also contained cut taro, sweet potatoes, pumpkins and various unknown things. The famous vegetable leaves look quite colorful. It’s just that the content in this porridge is really a bit thin.
At the end of the soup kitchen, a dozen naturalized migrant workers who came with the work team were busy pulling measuring tapes and driving wooden stakes. Modular building materials have been piled on the ground, and Liu Xiang also organized some refugees to help with the work.
The most eye-catching thing is the three large pots that have just been unloaded from the bullock cart. Several craftsmen are busy building a stove.
"Is this okay?" Liu Xiang was a little worried.
"It's okay." Yang Yun said with a smile, "Only when there is contrast can there be stimulation. Once the masses are incited, it will be easier to handle."
At nine o'clock in the morning, with the sound of the horn, the streets that had been quiet suddenly started to stir. The refugees, who were so weak that they could only sit and lie down, heard the sound of the horn and tried their best to support each other and stand up. Get up and walk to the soup kitchen. Naturalized civilian cadres and soldiers from the guard company were maintaining order, with sharp whistles coming and going: "Don't push people!", "Don't crowd!", "Everyone has it!", "Watch the children and the elderly, don't fall. Got it!"...
With the security company maintaining order, the refugees headed toward the soup kitchen in groups based on distance and distance.
As soon as they entered the soup kitchen today, they smelled a distinctive aroma. It was not the light melon and vegetable porridge these days, but a strong aroma of rice that had not been seen for a long time. During this period, it seemed to be mixed with other aromas. .
The fragrant aroma of rice wafted in the air, causing them to look left and right. Suddenly someone discovered that the aroma of rice was coming from a newly built shed at the end of the venue. The crowd immediately rushed towards the shed. Sure enough, a half-person-high earthen platform was set up under the reed mat tent. A large pot of fragrant rice was being cooked on the stove on the platform. In a large pot next to it, a brown thick soup was boiling, exuding a delicious smell. The aroma.
On a large table, on a clean wooden board are rice dumplings, which come in two sizes: large and small. They are all wrapped in perilla leaves, exuding the fragrance of rice and vegetable leaves. Several chefs are still making new rice balls.
The refugees immediately became agitated: even when the typhoon did not come, they were still in the stage of spending the spring famine since the beginning of spring, and they ate less and more every day. Now there is a big pot of dry rice in front of me! Many people's stomachs and intestines immediately made a reflexive sound. If it weren't for the Australian soldiers holding bayonets in front of the platform and staring at them, the refugees would have rushed up and snatched them away.
Judging from the look of the person cooking above, it doesn't look like he is about to serve rice. While the refugees were at a loss what to do, cheerful music suddenly sounded. Accompanied by the song "In the Field of Hope", Ji Denggao from the Mass Publicity Department of the Ministry of Culture and Publicity stepped onto the platform in high spirits.
"Folks!" he shouted loudly, "you have suffered!"! .
