Chapter 663 Disaster Relief and Settlement
Chapter 663 Disaster Relief and Settlement
Liu Jiaqi had already thought about the construction of the border defense zone before coming here.
All the information from various places was recorded in his notebook.
He explained the situation in each place to King Huai one by one.
To sum up, all the border areas within the fiefdom.
As long as the terrain is simple and easy to pass, tall and strong city walls are built.
However, due to geographical factors, there are no city walls to block the few steep mountains.
However, checkpoints have been set up at several important places where traffic may be passing.
After hearing this, King Huai breathed a sigh of relief.
Today, the epidemics in the counties and cities within the fiefdom have been basically brought under control.
At this time, the most feared thing is the refugees who come into the enclosed area and carry the virus.
If it carries a new mutated virus, it will be a big trouble.
Fortunately, some time ago he was afraid that his action of recruiting refugees would anger the court.
If troops are mobilized, those places without city walls will be easy targets for breakthrough.
Therefore, most of the easily accessible areas have been built with high walls.
This time, it actually started to play a role in this aspect.
The two of them discussed on the map the areas where refugees might enter.
The focus is on deploying troops to defend these places.
At the same time, military camps in various places received transfer orders.
They quickly rushed to the nearby border area to assist the local border guards in resettling the refugees.
In a border town not far from Yining County, the commander of the city defense was patrolling the city wall.
Outside the city, a group of haggard refugees gathered under the city wall.
Seeing someone moving on the wall, they all asked for help.
Many people did not expect to enter the city, but just wanted to ask for some water.
There is a severe drought now, and there is a reservoir built in King Huai's fiefdom.
In many places outside, countless people have died of thirst.
Many soldiers on the city wall saw this and looked reluctant, turning their heads away, unable to bear to look any further.
Many of them fled from other places due to famine.
When he saw the refugees outside the city, he thought of the previous situation of himself and his family.
Seeing this, the city guard maintained a sullen expression, but couldn't help sighing in his heart.
If this continues, more people will die outside the city if the situation drags on for another day.
But their border guards are just guarding.
No one can be allowed into the city unless ordered by superiors.
At this time, a soldier came hurriedly to deliver a letter.
The city guard was delighted when he saw the bright red seal of Prince Huai's Palace on the letter.
He opened the letter, read it quickly, and couldn't help but smile on his dark face.
He loudly said:
"King Huai has issued an order to provide immediate relief to the refugees outside the city.
For refugees, we implement segmented isolation.
Those who are confirmed to be healthy will be registered in nearby counties and cities after being isolated and confirmed.
When the soldiers heard this, they cheered.
The dark-faced officer smiled briefly, but soon turned stern again and scolded:
“You little bastards, keep your eyes open, don’t let me down!
During disaster relief, full protective clothing must be worn throughout the process.
If anyone dares to be lazy, I will punish him if something goes wrong!"
The black-faced officer is usually fierce, but he becomes serious now.
The soldiers nearby no longer dared to smile frivolously and listened attentively.
Soon, a team of soldiers in full protective suits appeared.
They left the city with weapons and began to maintain order outside the city.
A soldier with a loud voice began to explain King Huai's policies to the refugees.
The refugees heard that King Huai was willing to accept them, but they just needed to be isolated for a period of time.
Only those who are not infected can enter the city.
Most of the people who were not infected were overjoyed when they heard this.
As for the small number of patients' families, they were also happy when they heard that there was a medicine that could cure the epidemic.
Soon, the refugees outside the city began to be divided into zones.
Next, line up in the area.
When order was almost restored, another team of soldiers pulled large buckets of rice porridge out of the city.
When the refugees saw this, they cheered.
The soldiers were afraid of chaos and quickly suppressed the refugees who wanted to run away.
After a long time, the refugees outside the city finally received the porridge.
After drinking the porridge, the refugees were led by the soldiers and divided into different areas.
Nowadays, time is tight, so these areas are separated by wooden fences.
Those refugees who appeared to be healthy were divided into the same area according to their teams or kinship.
As for the sick refugees, they were all taken to the west gate far away from the city gate.
The border guards have already set up tents here.
Because there were so many sick refugees, the soldiers grouped four or five patients into tents.
At the same time, a group of military doctors in the tent area have started to get busy.
On the simple stove, dark brown Chinese medicine was boiling in a large iron pot.
After the medicine is boiled, pour it into a large bucket.
The two military doctors who were boiling the medicine began to pour cold water into the large barrel.
After pouring three basins of cold water in a row, the two stopped.
There is no way, there are too many refugees, and they are short of medicinal materials.
To be precise, the entire fiefdom is in need of medicinal herbs.
The medicinal materials were limited, so Prince Huai’s Palace could only distribute some to various places.
Today, these medicinal herbs are taken out of the border guards' own share and given to the refugees first.
When the sick refugees were brought in, someone had already counted their number.
It's not enough to give one to each person.
There is no other way but to add more water to make a diluted version of the medicine soup.
Although the effect of this medicine is not as good as when it is not diluted, it is still effective for patients.
Soon, bowl after bowl of medicine was fed, and the effects of the medicine slowly began to take effect.
Meanwhile, zoning work was still going on outside.
During this period, when the soldiers encountered new refugees, they also settled them according to the previous procedures.
By evening, the entire fenced area was completely divided.
Soldiers have also been patrolling the entire fenced and tented areas at night.
If someone died of the disease, the body would be immediately taken away on a closed cart and buried deep.
The resettlement of refugees outside the entire border area was completed smoothly and safely.
A few days later, King Huai received reports from border guards in various places.
Now, the border guards in various places within the fiefdom have already absorbed the first batch of refugees into the city.
However, these refugees still need to follow the regulations.
After five more days of quarantine in the city, you can get your household registration and officially settle down.
King Huai silently added up the number of people reported by the various border guards.
The total number of refugees who first entered the city from various places was 3,524.
This number is a drop in the bucket compared to the number of people who died during the epidemic.
But it’s a good start!
In the days to come, more refugees will settle down and live in his fiefdom.
Baoshan Town.
Recently, Lu Qingqing has to go to the pharmaceutical factory at least four times a day.
Today, the demand for pills has skyrocketed.
Prince Huai's Mansion has been sending people to the pharmaceutical factory in batches, and six batches have been sent so far.
All the vacant land near the pharmaceutical factory is also being used to build houses.
Even the residential land originally allocated to Wang Demao and others to the north of the pharmaceutical factory was acquired by the pharmaceutical factory.
However, this acquisition is really a great thing for Wang Demao and his team.
In addition to the resettlement fee of 50 taels per person, Prince Huai's Mansion also helped to redistribute the residential land.
With this money and the homestead, they can also build a house.
This distribution plan is more cost-effective than the bright red one.
Recently, the second, third and fourth pharmaceutical factories near the pharmaceutical factory have basically taken shape.
The fact that it was built so quickly was due to the huge investment made by King Huai.
