0740 Disaster is coming
All the people who stayed in this warehouse were the most loyal people to Liu Pei, and they never questioned Liu Pei's orders. Without saying a word, they picked up the two corpses and left.
After dawn, Liu Pei turned the guards and went to the garrison mansion. Some official business has been squeezed on the desk. He found a relatively thick report in the backlog of official documents and threw it aside. Start reviewing other backlogs.
It wasn't until he finished reviewing the other documents that Liu Pei picked up the report that was thrown aside. This report is the information from the two places sent by the Intelligence Bureau to Shaanxi and Shanxi, as well as Yang Jingfa's subordinates. Liu Pei did not rush to open this information, but quietly looked at the cover of this report. He knew that when he opened this report, he would see a miserable world!
In the history books, the record of the drought in Shaanxi and Shanxi is only a few small paragraphs of Liao Liao. But if you can get a few sentences recorded in the history books, it is a great event!
Even if there are thousands or even tens of thousands of dead and wounded, in the history books, it is just that such and such an incident happened in such and such a place, and the number of dead and injured people is so-and-so. In some cases, the number of dead and injured people may not even be recorded. However, the drought in Shanxi has occupied a small paragraph in the history books, which is enough to show the great harm and far-reaching impact of this disaster.
At the same time, Liu Pei has been hesitating, doubting whether his plan will succeed this time. To tell the truth, with Liu Pei's current strength, it is even more difficult to swallow these victims!
First of all, after a journey of hundreds of miles or nearly a thousand miles, can the weak bodies of those victims persevere? Will there be enough food to eat when you walk to the road? How much medicine should I prepare? After being discovered by the government, what kind of attitude will the government uphold? How will these people be arranged after they arrive in Shandong? How to transport these people to Taiwan, the Ryukyus? And how many settlements have been opened up in Taiwan and the Ryukyus that can be inhabited? This series of questions overwhelmed Liu Pei!
Liu Pei, who had been sitting quietly for a long time, finally made up his mind, since he had already planned to do it, then do it! Anyway, these people will die in this unprecedented drought. Every time I save someone, I take it back from God
Target! Every time a person is saved, the vitality of the Chinese nation will be retained!
Besides, the big husband should act wantonly! In case of trouble, it will be decided, but it is worthy of the heart!
Thinking of this, Liu Pei opened the thick report. The report is very clear. Since the beginning of January, there has been neither rain nor snow in Shaanxi and Shanxi. The drought in the fields is terrible! The farmers have been hoping for some rain from God, but they have waited until it is time to plant seeds, and God will enjoy a rain!
The farmers were a little relieved when they saw the rain, and they ploughed the land and planted the seeds with a glimmer of hope, but they didn't want the rain to be a scam by God! It hasn't rained since that rain!
As the newly sprouted crops turned yellow and eventually died, panic began to spread among farmers. At this time, it is the season of green and yellow, but seeing the seeds sown, the seedlings have been killed by drought, and this year's harvest is a foregone conclusion, but the grain in hand is about to be eaten up. For a time, the hearts of Shaanxi and Shanxi were deserted!
Slowly, a huge drought is confirmed, but the farmers wait at home for a glimmer of hope, but they put their families in the dead! When the grain ran out, the landlords stopped putting grain, because the landlords knew that they would not be able to collect the grain this year! The grain merchants are hoarding, and the price of grain is soaring, taking away the only money left in the hands of the people!
At this time, there were no more peasants to work in the fields. The roots of the grass have been dug up and eaten, the bark of the trees has been stripped naked, and everything that can be eaten has gone into the belly of the person, but it is still not enough. A large number of displaced people began to gather in various states and counties, hoping for relief and a chance to live.
However, because of the continuous lack of income, coupled with the rampant corruption of corrupt officials. There is no food in the treasury to be used for relief! Only a small number of large households have set up porridge sheds to provide some gruel that is so rare that you can see the grains of rice! However, this will not be able to meet the needs of the growing number of displaced people.
In various states and counties, the traffickers who buy people are gathering more and more, and they have started their rare carnival! The gentry opened their mouths and devoured the peasants' remaining land and belongings, and drove them away from their localities.
The bandits also flourished! They recruit young people to join their own team and strengthen their strength. Then came the looting! This makes it even worse for the homeless people who are already living on the brink of death!
As time goes on, some of the old and weak have begun to die! If there is no external intervention, most of the remaining displaced people will starve to death. Some will be able to flee their hometowns, while others will join the rebels and bandits and become a source of trouble!
When Liu Pei closed the report, his hands were shaking! Because this report is so detailed! What does it look like from the inside of the countryside? What was it like to be a big gentry? What does the government look like? What's going on inside the ground? Presented in detail in the form of data!
The scariest thing is the final summary! It was coldly written, "I'm afraid that Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces will not be able to provide disaster relief this time!" ”。 As for the victims, the report gives a minimum estimate of the deaths: "No less than a million!" ”
Liu Pei sat in the room for a long time, until he thought things through clearly, then got up and called the guards and said, "Prepare the ship, I will go to Taiwan immediately!" Which one of the Eagle-class ships is in port? ”
The Eagle-class ship that Liu Pei said refers to the flying clipper ship. The original clipper ship was called the Black Swan. Later, the Navy felt that the Black Swan lacked murderous spirit. He also felt that this kind of ship could run fast, so he simply renamed the Black Swan the Black Hawk. So the clipper ship of this class was called the Eagle class.
Later, three more clippers of the same type were built, named the Red Eagle, the Flying Eagle and the Flying Eagle. These four clippers are specialized in Shandong, Ryukyu and Taiwan. The Peng Lake is a circular navigation used to transport important people and documents.
The guard replied, "Marshal, the Red Eagle is in Hong Kong today. ”
Liu Pei said: "That's him." In addition, inform my wife that I have an urgent official business to go to Taiwan! ”
When the clipper ship splits the waves on the sea and moves quickly, it really skims over the sea like a divine eagle! The ship has been extremely fast, but Liu Pei is still not satisfied! Now Liu Pei misses modern planes and the Internet very much! With these things, the efficiency of government affairs will be unparalleled!
