Li Yuanai recruited refugees all the way and promoted Li Zhi's benevolence among the refugees.

The more desperate you are, the more you gather the hearts of the people, the likelihood of the dynasties in China are like this.

They were eating the food given by Li Yuanai and listening to Li Zhi in their ears. The benevolence and righteousness of the Tang Dynasty were naturally grateful to the court.

Originally, the Tang Dynasty had gained extremely strong centripetal force because of its invincibility. Li Yuanai's actions undoubtedly deepened the people's recognition of the new dynasty.

Li Yuanai's kindness began to spread widely in the disaster area. The victims who heard the news all had motivation and hope to gather in Sizhou. The victims who were already gathering in Sizhou were even more eager for Li Yuanai's arrival.

When Li Yuanai arrived in Sizhou, the governor of Sizhou, Zhang Da'an was so excited that he burst into tears and bowed repeatedly, "The King of Wu has finally arrived, and he is looking forward to it day and night, and finally waited for it."

Zhang Da'an held his body, and he couldn't even straighten his waist as if he had no bones.

Li Yuanai hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up. Looking at the young man in front of him who was only about thirty years old but fifty-footed, he said, "You have suffered! If you weren't in Sizhou, the consequences would be unimaginable."

His words were not false.

When encountering such a sudden natural disaster, the court needs a certain amount of reaction time.

Li Yuanai, who received the order, also needs time to prepare before she can set off.

During this period, whether the disaster area is chaotic depends on whether the local officials are properly dealt with.

Zhang Da'an was the descendant of the general, and his father Zhang Gongjin was ranked in the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. As the third son of the Zhang family, Zhang Da'an was not qualified to inherit his father's title. If you want to make a name for yourself, you have to rely on your own efforts.

Compared to others, Zhang Da'an's starting point is still much higher, but being able to achieve the position of governor is also closely related to his efforts.

As soon as the flood occurred, Zhang Da'an immediately arranged various disaster relief measures to connect the people of the affected villages and towns into the city, arrange their residences, and then take advantage of the high terrain of Sizhou to introduce the flood into Sishui and lure them into the sea.

Zhang Daan's outstanding response method made Sizhou the only land that can survive in the Jianghuai disaster area.

It is also because Zhang Da'an handled it properly that the victims gathered in Sizhou.

However, a good woman cannot cook without rice.

The gathering of refugees exceeded the scope that Sizhou Prefecture Office could bear.

Zhang Daan, with the title of governor, Zhang Gongjin, the old father, kept licking his face and asking for a meeting with the rich and powerful merchants in Sizhou, otherwise he would be able to clear the treasury and would not be able to help the continuous disaster victims.

Especially when Li Yuanai entered Huai, he designated Sizhou as a relief center, and the victims who rushed to Sizhou increased exponentially. The pressure on the Sizhou government office was even greater, and almost failed to crush Zhang Da'an.

The disaster victims in Sizhou are not in chaos, but it all depends on Zhang Da'an's diligence.

"Gather all the officials of Sizhou Prefecture Office together, let's hold a small meeting to set the tone of disaster relief and life relief."

Li Yuanai saw too many tragic situations along the way, and there was only one thought in his mind. He did his best to minimize the disaster and held an urgent meeting.

In just half an hour, the Sizhou Prefecture Organ was filled with officials of all sizes in Sizhou.

Li Yuanai looked at the more than a hundred people in the hall and said, "Disaster relief is a major event, and the disaster is so serious that there is no time to talk in detail. I will say a few points first, and I will raise the objections directly. At extraordinary moments, there is no need to worry too much. When I finish talking, you have a better way to explain it."

His tone was clear and quick, and he said directly: "I heard from the governor Zhang briefly talk about the situation of the victims in Sizhou on the road. Nearly 110,000 victims have gathered near Sizhou City. In addition, the original tens of thousands of people in Sizhou City are too difficult to control these people. In this regard, I made a decision first and chose people from the people and the victims who are prestigious, talented, and kind-hearted to help manage the victims. We can call them volunteers."

"These volunteers are not public offices, but they can record their experiences and acts of justice on the case. When promoting officials, they will be given priority."

Zhang Da'an's eyes lit up. In addition to insufficient food these days, the biggest trouble is that there are too few officials.

The officials of their prefectures were unable to continue their overwork.

Li Yuanai's move greatly reduced the pressure from the person in charge and made it easier to accurately control the victims.

"Secondly, the relief of the victims without regard to the cost of gains and losses is too exhausting, and the court is not rich. We cannot give all the pressure to the court. We can collapse, the court cannot cross the pressure. Work-for-relief is the only way to reduce the pressure of the court. The men, women, elderly people, and children among the victims should be distinguished. Men do physical work, women do mend or cook, and the elderly also find some things that do not waste their energy. As for children, choose a flat and safe place and let someone teach them to read and practice calligraphy, so that they know that their age is the most important thing. In short, we cannot develop the habit of eating when the victims are lying down. Relief, the court provides disaster relief and life. To overcome disasters, we have to rely on ourselves."

"The first thing we need to solve is the accommodation problem of disaster victims. We cannot let them sleep on the streets all the time. It is rainy now, and it will rain heavily from time to time. If you keep getting wet, your body will collapse. Choose a piece of land suitable for building houses and build a simple hut, a few wooden boards, a few pillars, and some thatch. It doesn't matter if you are ventilated on all sides. In July, the ventilated environment is comfortable, as long as you can shelter from the rain. There will be many disaster victims in the future, so you can prepare for them in advance!"

"In addition, it is said that there are still some towns that have no news so far. If this is not possible, people have to be sent to contact and investigate. If the landslide is trapped in the lake, the rescue should be rescued. We must not ignore it. They are all citizens of the Tang Dynasty, and all refugees are treated equally."

"In the end, it's the food issue. Don't worry about these. I will try my best to raise them and do my best to make all the people in Jianghuai and the victims have a hot meal."

After making a decision, Li Yuanai kept thinking about the disaster relief process again, simulated it in his mind, and said it all at once.

Such a serious disaster has never been encountered by the officials in the hall, and they have no experience and dare not speak casually.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Yuanai continued to implement his method. He was not afraid of the policy errors. It was time to find a mistake, and it was better to find a mistake than to do nothing and have no mistakes.

Zhang Daan was very interested in Li Yuanai's volunteers and asked a few more questions.

Li Yuanai explained the details.

Zhang Da'an was so excited that he shouted: "The King of Wu is wise!"

Arrange everyone to go down and perform their duties, recruit volunteers, and prepare for labor-for-relief.

Seeing everyone going down, Li Yuanai said to Shi Pantuo: "Tell the guards outside the door, if there is a person named Di Renjie asking for advice, just let him enter."

Di Renjie entered Huai in January earlier than he was a private visit, and what he did was to be the most true portrayal of the disaster.
