There are many details in disaster relief work, and a large number of people are required to coordinate and command.

The focus of disaster relief in Henan is in Mengjin County.

After Su Tiancheng thought about it carefully, he made a decision that more than 1,100 soldiers of the cavalry battalion would leave 100 people to protect the silver taels and purchased materials for the imperial court's disaster relief, and the rest of the people would all go down to help with disaster relief.

When the disaster relief first began, the biggest thing was to let the victims and displaced people have food, and they could not continue to starve to death when the disaster relief money in the imperial court had already arrived. The next step is to prevent the spread of disease. Only after stabilizing the mood of the common people can we talk about other things.

This time should not be too long, at most five days, and it will be necessary to stabilize the mood of the victims and displaced people.

Yan Zizhang did some things, but Su Tiancheng, who was well versed in the way, still found a problem.

Yan Zizhang was not familiar with local work, so he often stayed in the county office, listened to reports from all sides, made arrangements and arrangements, and then the local officials carried them out.

On the surface, there is no problem with this approach, but as a patrol of disaster relief, I did not go to the front line to see the situation, to see if the victims were really full, how their bodies were, whether their emotions were stable, and what their needs were.

When Su Tiancheng arrived in Mengjin County, he was naturally the main person in charge.

After arguing with Yan Zizhang, everything was decided by Su Tiancheng.

Every morning, many officials gather in the county office, arrange tasks, and do their own work.

Su Tiancheng is not idle, and his work tasks do not need to be arranged every day. However, in the morning for half an hour, you can listen to the report of the main situation, grasp the progress of the disaster relief work, and make targeted adjustments or arrangements.

And when it was two o'clock, he went down with the men, after dark. will come back, if it is too late to come back, I will entrust Yan Zizhang to preside over the report the next morning.

People always have to eat, and Su Tiancheng is no exception.

Eating and drinking was not a few hundred years later, but is still prevalent today.

In order to avoid such a situation, Su Tiancheng put forward clear requirements for the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, including the officials who participated in the disaster relief. All officials who go down to do coordination work will all go down with their own grain, and they can borrow the people's firewood stoves, and they are not allowed to eat or increase the burden on the people. Local lieutenants and leaders are not allowed to entertain people, and they are not allowed to set up false names and increase the burden on the victims.

August 11.

Two o'clock. Su Tiancheng took Wang Dazhi, Deng Hui and more than ten sergeants from the cavalry battalion to the outside of the city.

It's become a habit. Every morning, I went out of the city to see it, and then I went to the countryside. It's just that with the extension of the road, there are times when it is difficult to return to the county seat on the same day.

The porridge field has been prepared for a long time, and the people still haven't gotten up.

Su Tiancheng frowned for several days. Seeing such a scene, he didn't understand that as a disaster victim, he couldn't get up early for anything.

After a general look, I didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Su Tiancheng took more than ten people and crossed the horse towards the official road.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, he shook his head, feeling that he couldn't be too accommodating to the victims, it was right to get up early every day, the victims and displaced people who stayed outside the city, thousands of people, these people, all of them were going to participate in the reconstruction of their homes, if they maintained such a style, they didn't know how lazy they would be in the future, the court's disaster relief was only one aspect, and the reconstruction of the homeland focused on relying on themselves.

Turning the horse's head, he did not speak, but raised his whip and went towards the city gate.

From a distance, I saw that the outside of the city was already lively.

I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Su Tiancheng suddenly stopped.

He was a little suspicious, all this was too strange, for what he had just left, the porridge field began to be lively, less than half an hour before and after, could it be that there was something strange inside.

Leaving the two sergeants to take care of the horses, Su Tiancheng took the others and walked over slowly.

In front of a shed, there are many victims lined up, holding clay pots in their hands, waiting for soup kitchens.

Walking straight to the front, Su Tiancheng looked at the porridge and rice in the wooden barrel, his face quickly changed, and the faces of the people who followed him also changed.

Where is this porridge rice, porridge is not counted, it is similar to rice soup, there is no food in sight, when I come in the morning, everyone sees the porridge and rice, not to mention standing up chopsticks, chopsticks are simply a little unable to insert in.

The person who scooped the porridge didn't know Su Tiancheng, and he was still talking loudly about lining up and coming one by one.

Su Tiancheng's face turned pale, and the sergeant beside him quickly moved and quickly went to the temporary kitchen.

A chubby middle-aged man was directly escorted over by the sergeant.

Soon there were people around, some people followed all the way to Mengjin County, saw Su Tiancheng, and knew that Lu Dao was sent by the imperial court to relieve the disaster.

"Are you directly responsible here?"

The middle-aged man nodded busily, and his body was already shaking.

"This official asks you a few questions, first, whether you arranged it because the victims couldn't get up early, second, the effect of porridge and rice, where did the leftover food go, and third, since the beginning of the imperial court's disaster relief, has it been like this every day."

There was silence all around.

The middle-aged man knelt on the ground and couldn't say a word.

Su Tiancheng said coldly to Wang Dazhi beside him.

"Dazhi, please ask all the officials of the county government of Mengjin County to come here and bring the sword of Shang Fang."

When the magistrate rushed over with many officials, his face was pale, and he was supported by the officials below before he arrived at the scene.

The middle-aged man who was kneeling saw the magistrate coming, as if he had seen a savior, and hurriedly spoke.

"Uncle, save me, I don't dare anymore......"

The middle-aged man's shout made Zhixian collapse, and everything in front of him didn't need to be explained.

Seeing this scene, Su Tiancheng understood.

From being angry to calm, he quickly calmed his emotions, at this moment, if the magistrate is investigated, a large number of people will inevitably be implicated, maybe the disaster relief work. is about to suffer a major impact, after all, the officials of the county government are familiar with the specific situation, and the situation in front of them can only deal with this middle-aged man.

Besides, it's investigation and processing. Nor can it necessarily implicate officials.

"Lord Zhixian, this official has repeatedly emphasized that we must love the people like children and care about the victims, I didn't expect such a situation to occur, how do you say to deal with it."

"The lower official should be damned, I don't know that such a thing has happened in Ludao, the lower official must strictly investigate, strictly investigate......"

"You don't need to check it out. This official will deal with it now, Dazhi, please Shang Fang Sword. ”

The middle-aged man who was kneeling on the ground noticed that something was wrong and wanted to continue yelling, but unfortunately the sergeant next to him had already skillfully removed his chin, making him speechless.

Su Tiancheng picked up Shang Fang's sword. Facing the north, he bowed three times.

"Folks. I will remove the silverfish for you today. ”

"This person dares to withhold food, the crime is unforgivable, the official has repeatedly emphasized that the villagers should be well fed, this person is bold and reckless, and openly does it. If it weren't for the fact that the official noticed it today, he wouldn't know that the villagers in Ludao still can't eat enough and are still suffering, which is also the dereliction of duty of the official and the dereliction of duty of the county officials. I beg your pardon. ”

"If such scum is appeased, disaster relief cannot be carried out, and the official will be worthy of the emperor's high hopes."

After saying this, Su Tiancheng handed over the Shang Fang sword to Wang Dazhi.

"Chop."

The head fell to the ground, and a stream of blood spurted out.

It's quieter.

Su Tiancheng said coldly to the magistrate.

"Lord Zhixian, someone here is re-assigned to be responsible, if the porridge and rice do not meet the requirements of the official, the next person to fall to the ground, it is you, this person's family property, all confiscated, used for disaster relief, the porridge field in the rest of the place, if there is a problem, the official is asking for you, how to arrange the scheduling, you think carefully."

"This official is here today, and once again demands, whether it is the disaster relief personnel from the imperial court or the disaster relief officials from Fuzhou County, they are not allowed to harass the local people, they are not allowed to move the people with a stitch, they are not allowed to eat, they are not allowed to increase the burden below, and if anyone dares to violate it, they will be beheaded regardless of the reason."

The murder was originally a very bloody scene, but the surrounding victims did not feel afraid, on the contrary, they did not say a word, looking at Su Tiancheng, many disaster victims, after too much displacement, encountered a lot of insults, and everyone who had a little official position shouted and scolded them, but Su Tiancheng in front of him was sent by the imperial court to patrol the imperial history, so concerned about the victims, it seems that this time they can really get out of the predicament.

His wife and nephew were killed at the scene, and the magistrate also sobered up.

It seems that this inspector of the imperial history is by no means random and can be fooled, if such a problem occurs again, maybe he is really head-to-headed, this is not a big deal, disaster relief in other places, the situation that arises, is even more serious, and even directly deducts the food and silver of the victims, and does not do anything at all, leaving the victims to fend for themselves.

Su Tiancheng thought more.

The so-called killing the chicken to show the monkey, I can only do this, I think of such a scene, it has appeared everywhere, there is nothing great, it is found out, it is great to reprimand it, ask for correction, or not take an example, but I must not be so appeased, otherwise the things that follow, can not be done.

Maybe it was because they saw the power of Shang Fang's sword, maybe no one thought that the patrol would be so serious, anyway, from this day on, no one dared to think about what benefits they would get from the disaster relief money, and no one thought that they could get some benefits from the materials, and everyone was doing things honestly.

Whether it is the victims near the county seat or the victims in the village, their faces are getting better day by day.

By this time, Su Tiancheng had more things to do.

The focus is still on rebuilding the homeland, including allowing the people to really get benefits, and the disaster relief money of the imperial court must be used on the people and the victims, and cannot fall into the pockets of officials.

Thinking about relying on the system, it is unlikely that the system will be implemented, and the system will also be implemented by people.

The only way for him to do so is to be strict and lead by example. The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, there are too many such things.

However, in doing so, there must be a problem, that is, it may offend a large group of people, and these people are precisely officials at all levels.

Su Tiancheng can't manage so much, he is here for disaster relief, as long as he is still patrolling the imperial history, he must do a good job to the greatest extent.

It is a pity that the silver taels allocated by the imperial court this time could not completely repair the Yellow River. (To be continued.) )
