One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 198 Disaster Relief

It was late at night, and the Second Hall of the Changzi County Government Office was still brightly lit.Qin Yi, Wei Ji, Zhao Yun, He Gai, and Wang Heng who came to the second hall voluntarily after hearing the news, five people are lighting up the lamp to discuss matters.

"Everyone, for disturbing everyone's dreams, Qin will apologize to everyone first." Qin Yi sat on the main seat, and everyone in the hall bowed their hands.

"Magistrate Qin was thinking about the situation of the people affected by the snowstorm, so he held the meeting overnight?" Wang Heng asked.

Qin Yi nodded and said: "Yes, this heavy snow has already collapsed the houses of residents in the county town. Presumably there will be more people affected in the countryside outside the city."

He Gai questioned: "My lord, heavy snow crushes houses and collapses every winter. There is no way to do this. You summoned us here. Doesn't it snow in the sky?"

Qin Yi smiled lightly: "Qin can't take care of God's affairs, but Qin must take care of the common people's affairs."

After finishing speaking, he asked: "In the past, if the houses of the common people were crushed, how did they deal with it?"

Wei said: "It's just the help of the neighbors to repair the house."

Qin Yi asked again: "How many days will it take to repair the house?"

Wei Ji said: "It depends on the popularity of the homeowner. If the popularity is good, there will be more people to help. If the collapse of the house is not serious, it can be repaired in one day. If the popularity of the homeowner is not good, the people who help Naturally, there are fewer people. It takes a lot of time to repair the house."

"Are there any houses that have completely collapsed and cannot be repaired, but can only be rebuilt?" Qin Yi asked again.

Wei Zhu said: "Although this kind of situation is rare, it does happen. Some people are too poor, and their houses are not strong enough to build, and they will collapse when there is a heavy snowfall. People like this are the most pitiful, and their houses are not built well. It was barely able to shelter from the rain and wind, and after it collapsed, there was no money to rebuild it. I had to leave my hometown and go out to beg for food."

Hearing Wei Ke's words, Qin Yi's heart seemed to be stuffed with a ball of cotton, and he was almost out of breath.In this world, the rich have thousands of mansions, but the poor have no shelter, it's so fucking bad!

"Qin has nothing to do with previous years, but since Qin has come this year, he can't sit idly by." Qin Yi said firmly.

"The county lord means..." Zhao Yun asked.

Qin Yi pondered for a while, and said, "Qin doesn't dare to boast about how big Haikou is, but Qin can still do it so that every commoner in Lu County and Changzi County won't have a house to live in because of the snowstorm."

After finishing speaking, he looked directly at Wei Ji: "Magistrate Wei, put aside the iron ore mines in advance. Tomorrow you will immediately go back to Lu County, even if the road is difficult, you have to go back. Then, tell Xu Gongming and Lu Jicai, ask them to send out half of their soldiers to do their best to rescue the disaster."

Wei Ji thought for a while, and said, "It's not a problem for Wei to rush back to Lu County. But let the soldiers rescue the disaster...how should we rescue it?"

Qin Yi said: "Naturally, it is to help the people affected by the disaster to repair their houses. If they can be repaired, they will be repaired, and if they can't be repaired, they will be rebuilt. The soldiers have experience in camping, and there is no shortage of craftsmen in the army. Stones and wood are everywhere. Soldiers and soldiers The more people there are, the greater the strength. We will strive to complete the disaster relief in the shortest possible time.”

After thinking for a while, Qin Yi said again: "For the common people who have no place to live, County Magistrate Wei can think of a way to allow other families to take them in temporarily. If it is really impossible, let the soldiers set up tents for them to live in. In addition , let Xu Gongming and Lu Jicai allocate part of the military rations to give porridge to the people who can't eat, and help them tide over the difficulties."

When everyone listened to Qin Yi's words, they were all silent.

Qin Yi noticed that everyone's expressions were different, so he said in surprise: "Why, what Qin said is not easy to operate?"

Wei Ji said: "Magistrate Qin, don't the army fight wars? Let them go to rescue disasters. This has never happened before. I'm afraid the soldiers will complain!"

He Gai also nodded and said: "The land is covered with heavy snow, and the soldiers have stopped even training. They are asked to work for the people, not for themselves. I'm afraid they won't be happy."

"You bastard!" Qin Yi was furious, "The officers and men were born in the common people, and the common people are their parents. Could it be that their parents are in a disaster, and they are indifferent?"

"It makes sense, but this matter..." He Gai still disagreed with Qin Yi's opinion.

Qin Yi waved his hand, interrupted He Gai's words, and said, "Tell the soldiers, this disaster relief is a war. Those who have contributed a lot and performed actively in the disaster relief, Qin will give them military merits. In addition, tell the soldiers, the soldiers The duty is to guard the land and protect the people, and since it is to protect the people, it also includes disaster relief. Today they help others, and in the future, the soldiers will also get help from the army when their own homes suffer disasters.”

"Then Wei told Xu Gongming and Lu Jicai the orders of County Magistrate Qin. As for whether the officers and men can understand County Magistrate Qin's deep meaning, Wei really has no idea." Wei Jiao said with a wry smile.

Qin Yi said: "This is a military order! They must implement it if they understand it, and they must implement it if they don't understand it. Qin will also go to Lu County in person to see their performance."

Speaking of this, Qin Yi looked at He Gai and Zhao Yun again: "Longzi County, like Lu County, dispatched the army to rescue the disaster with all its strength. Tomorrow, you will act immediately and disperse to various villages. If you see each family, you will help the family. Be strict. Military discipline, don’t harm the common people if you fail to save disasters. Anyone who dares to harm the common people will be dealt with by military law!”

"No!" Zhao Yun and He Gai clasped their fists at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi slowed down his tone again, and said: "This disaster relief is the first operation after the army's joint organization. You must do it with your heart. No matter how many or how few people are affected by the disaster, it must be fought as a tough battle." .This operation is also an operation to test the execution and combat effectiveness of the combined army. Even if it is not to help the people, it will allow us to discover problems in the army. Therefore, it is imperative!"

Wang Heng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said at this moment: "If County Magistrate Qin does this well, he will be able to win the hearts of the people of Lu County and Zhangzi County in one fell swoop!"

Qin Yi smiled slightly: "Mr. Zipei's words hit the nail on the head. This disaster relief is not only an action to gain the hearts of the people, but also an action to make the people of the two counties agree with the garrison and to harmonize the relationship between the army and the people. If the hearts of the people are united, Mount Tai will move. As long as Lu County and the eldest son The army and the people of the county are of one mind, the officials and the people are of one mind, who dares to offend?"

After listening to Qin Yi's words, Wei Ji, Zhao Yun, and He Gai finally understood Qin Yi's intentions, and they all nodded in agreement.

"Qin county magistrate, Wang is also willing to help." Wang Heng said suddenly, "Wang can't help with other things, but it can still be done by taking ten or eight disaster-stricken people to stay at home for a few days Yes. Besides, there are quite a lot of servants in Mr. Wang’s family, so let them help the soldiers boil some hot water and cook some gruel.”

Qin Yi was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly bowed his hands to Wang Heng: "Mr. Zi Pei is righteous!"

Wang Heng smiled and waved his hands: "Wang is also thinking about his own reputation! County Magistrate Qin, a few days ago you forced Wang to donate his family wealth, and many people have already regarded Wang as Qiu Xi's lackey. If If you don’t do some good deeds, then Wang will probably be stabbed in the back when he goes out in the future!”

"Uh... this... Hehe, Mr. Zipei, what Qin did before was really a last resort. If there is any offense, I hope Mr. Haihan." Qin Yi said awkwardly.

Wang Heng smiled and said: "This matter has already been exposed. As long as the county magistrate Qin doesn't treat Wang as a bad person in the future, it will be fine."

"Hahahaha..." Everyone laughed.
