Awakening ability

Chapter 204 The problem of the house

The five affected provinces have different distances from the capital city.

Some provinces start disaster relief earlier, while others start later.

This is determined by distance.

The first start time and the last start time are about ten days apart.

But even if it was the last one to arrive, Fang Hao also started the disaster relief work when he went to inspect this time.

At first, Fang Hao didn't directly meet with the staff of the disaster relief office, but quietly observed them.

Only in this way can we get real information
Everywhere is observed like that.

He was quite satisfied with the observation results.

After observing for two or three days, he gathered the five directors and deputy directors together and told them that the follow-up funds from the auction of 1 privately customized name quotations had arrived, and he obtained more than [-] taels of gold, which he planned to use on Ask the victims for their opinions on where it should be used.

These directors and deputy directors are on the front line of disaster relief and have a good understanding of the situation in the disaster area.

Fang Hao came to them for advice, so he found the right person.

Although winter has entered, relief materials are being distributed in an intense and orderly manner. In about half a month, all relief materials will be distributed.

Most of the relief supplies are food, clothing and quilts.

With those things, they can be guaranteed to be fed and clothed.

But there is still a big problem, that is, there are still many disaster victims who do not have houses and can only live in the simplest shacks.

Living in such a shack, there is no big problem in summer, and it can be carried through with a little attention in autumn.

But winter is not easy to survive.

Especially those who are old, weak, sick and disabled.

Some disaster victims and relatives who were not affected by the disaster can borrow them for a while.

But there are still many relatives who are also victims of the disaster, and they also have no houses, and there is no place to borrow them.

That would be very difficult.

While they were distributing relief supplies, they heard of people freezing to death.

Food, clothing and quilts are enough, and the seeds for the coming year are also bought for them.

There is no way to solve the housing issue.

Now Fang Hao said that there are more than 1 taels of gold in donations, and their idea is to build houses for those victims who lost their houses.

At least when it rains and snows in winter, you can have a shelter from the wind to rest and a dry place to sleep.

Of course, if a house is built for every family of the victims, there are more than 200 million homeless victims, that is hundreds of thousands of families, and more than 1 taels of gold, but hundreds of thousands of houses cannot be built.

Their proposal is that they will pay the money, and the victims will work to build a big house in each affected village that can accommodate all the victims.

Of course, that accommodation is only the minimum standard accommodation, which may be a family squeezed into a single room.

But it's better than living in a shack that leaks from wind and rain.

Building a shared large house requires much less material and labor than building a small house by family.

Fang Hao thought about it and agreed to the suggestion.

It is to put forward their own requirements - the house must be built on a high ground to ensure that even if a flood of the same scale occurs in the future, the house will not be submerged.Moreover, the built house must pass the inspection and acceptance of the disaster relief office, the quality must be guaranteed, and it must be able to be used for at least several decades.

Moreover, that house can only be used as a temporary residence for the victims. Within five years, those victims must move out.

"Why did you let them move out?" Someone expressed puzzlement, "Isn't the house built there for living? If some victims' conditions are not so good, they may not be able to build their own houses within five years. Isn't it nice to be there?"

Fang Hao shook his head: "There is no way to build a house in five years, either they are lazy, or the local officials have neglected their duties and exploited them too much. No matter what kind of situation it is, we cannot allow it to happen. Here They have a deadline and give them a direction to work towards, which is better for them."

"If they are allowed to move out within five years, why are they required to live in the house for decades?" Another person raised his own question.

"The house is built there, and it will still be used in the future," Fang Hao said. "For example, if there is a flood in the future, there will also be a temporary resettlement site. Usually, it can still exist as a school in the village."

"School?"

Several directors stared at Fang Hao with wide eyes, with incredible expressions on their faces.

It's not that they can't understand school.

Official schools have existed since ancient times.

Not only the country has Guozijian, but even counties have county schools.

However, running schools only ends at the county level.

There is no official school at the township level, and now Fang Hao suddenly said that the school is run in the village, which is a bit outrageous.

"Yes, school." Fang Hao nodded, "I hope that within my ten-year tenure, the school can be opened in every village in Taiqiu Kingdom, so that all school-age children have the opportunity to read and write. "

"But why do we need so many people to study?" someone asked stammering.

The idea Fang Hao put forward was so shocking that it scared them all.

In their thinking, there are only so many official positions, and the competition is already fierce now.

If everyone goes to study, hundreds of millions of people will compete for the number of Jinshi places that are only a few hundred in three years, and the competition is unimaginably fierce.

And, in their view, it's a waste.

Fang Hao glanced at that person, and he simply couldn't understand the thoughts of scholars in feudal society:

"What do you do with reading? Of course reading is to learn knowledge. Only by learning more knowledge can we better build this country, make this country prosperous and prosperous, and get rid of the current poverty and backwardness."

"However, there are not so many positions to arrange for so many scholars," the man said. "Even if we include officials, all of them are filled by scholars, there are still too few seats. We can't even arrange for one percent of them. . Doesn’t this mean that the remaining 90.00% of people have read books in vain?”

"Why do you read books in vain? You can't just study to become an official! Your ideas are too outdated!" Fang Hao said bitterly.

"If you don't become an official, what else can you do?"

Several directors could not understand.

They study to become officials.

If you can't be an official, what's the point of studying hard?

Reading is not an easy task in this country.

The vast majority of children from poor families do not have the qualifications to study at all.

In their view, it is a huge waste for a child to read a book when there is not enough to eat, and then there is nowhere to go after reading the book.
