An official in charge of supplies stepped forward and bowed: "Your Highness, don't worry, we have prepared enough food, clothing, medicine and other disaster relief materials according to the plan. Checkpoints along the way have also been opened to ensure smooth transportation."
Zhu Biao nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, material support is the top priority of disaster relief work. We must ensure that every material can be delivered to the affected people in a timely and accurate manner."
Another official in charge of water conservancy added: "Your Highness, regarding the issue of floods in the south of the Yangtze River, we have organized water conservancy experts to conduct a preliminary investigation. Preliminary judgment shows that frequent floods are closely related to river siltation and dike disrepair. We recommend organizing an investigation as soon as possible
Force to carry out river dredging and embankment reinforcement work."
Zhu Biao frowned slightly when he heard this: "The work of river dredging and embankment reinforcement is urgent. We must formulate a detailed project plan as soon as possible and mobilize sufficient manpower and material resources for implementation."
The water conservancy official bowed to the order: "Your Highness, rest assured, I will do my best to ensure the smooth progress of the project and never let down the expectations of the court and the people."
Zhu Biao nodded slightly and turned to another accompanying minister: "Mr. Li, you need to pay more attention to the distribution of materials. We must ensure that each batch of disaster relief materials can be delivered to the disaster area accurately and without any mistakes."
Mr. Li cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have made arrangements. All the checkpoints along the way have been cleared, and the transportation team is working day and night to deliver the supplies to the victims as soon as possible."
Zhu Biao nodded, feeling slightly relieved, but then thought of another urgent matter: "This flood has destroyed many people's homes and made them homeless. We need to build temporary shelters as soon as possible to provide them with a place to stay.
"
An official in charge of civil affairs took a step forward and bowed: "Your Highness is wise. I have ordered people to find suitable locations near the disaster area and prepare to build temporary tents and simple houses. At the same time, we will also mobilize local people who have not been affected by the disaster to assist
Resettlement of disaster-stricken people.”
Zhu Biao nodded in approval: "This is a very good plan. We must ensure that the resettlement work is carried out in an orderly manner so that the affected people can feel the care and warmth of the court."
The discussion was settled. Although Zhu Biao had a lot of thoughts in his mind, he remained calm on his face.
He stood up, glanced at every official present, and said in a firm and powerful tone: "My lords, the floods in the south of the Yangtze River are the disaster of our Ming Dynasty. As officials of the imperial court, we have no shirking responsibilities. I hope you can work together to overcome the difficulties and ensure that
The disaster relief work is proceeding smoothly, allowing the affected people to rebuild their homes as soon as possible."
All the officials stood up one after another, bowed and saluted, and responded in unison: "I will do my best to live up to His Highness's high expectations."
Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered everyone to prepare separately, while he stayed in the tent and continued to review the latest information coming from the disaster area. In the dead of night, the candlelight flickered, reflecting his determined and worried face.
Early the next morning, the convoy continued to move forward, and all along the way there were scenes of disasters. Villages were washed away by floods, farmland was submerged, and people were displaced. It was a desolate scene. Zhu Biao's heart became even heavier. He kept urging the convoy to speed up, hoping that it would be possible soon.
Arrive at the disaster area and deliver life-saving supplies to the people.
In the afternoon one day, the convoy arrived at a relatively open flat area. Zhu Biao decided to take a short rest here and summoned the accompanying officials to discuss the next disaster relief strategy. He stood on a temporary high platform and looked at the raging floods in the distance.
Village, said in a deep voice: "My lords, the disaster ahead is more serious. We must speed up the pace without slacking off at all."
Zhu Biao stood on the high platform, looking firmly at the flood-ravaged villages in the distance, his tone full of worry and determination: "My lords, the disaster ahead is far more serious than we imagined. We must race against time to save every
Disaster relief materials are delivered to the victims in a timely manner, while the pace of rebuilding their homes is accelerated."
Mr. Zhang, the Minister of Household Affairs, took a step forward and bowed: "What your Highness said is absolutely true. I have ordered people to urgently prepare supplies to ensure continuous supply. However, the disaster area is vast and the distribution of supplies needs to be carefully planned to avoid shortages."
Or wasteful.”
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement, and then turned to Master Li, who was in charge of transportation: "Master Li, are there any difficulties in transportation? We need to ensure that all materials can be safely and quickly delivered to the disaster areas."
Mr. Li cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, all the checkpoints along the way have been cleared, and I have arranged for multiple transport teams to work separately to maximize efficiency. However, continuous heavy rains have made the roads muddy, so we need to strengthen road condition monitoring to prevent unexpected events."
Zhu Biao nodded slightly and thought about countermeasures in his heart. At this time, a young water conservancy expert who was accompanying him came forward and reported solemnly: "Your Highness, after preliminary investigation, rivers in many places in the south of the Yangtze River are seriously blocked. If they are not cleaned up in time, there will be future floods."
It is difficult to contain it. I suggest that manpower and material resources should be organized immediately to carry out a large-scale river dredging project."
When Zhu Biao heard this, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Okay! This matter is related to the long-term well-being of the people in Jiangnan and cannot be delayed. You should immediately draw up a detailed plan, including the required manpower, material resources and estimated construction period. I will fully support you."
The water conservancy expert burst into tears with gratitude and quickly retreated as ordered. Zhu Biao turned to the officials in charge of civil affairs: "In terms of civil affairs, we need to pay close attention to the resettlement situation of the victims to ensure that they have clothes to wear, food to eat, and houses to live in. At the same time, we must strengthen sanitation and epidemic prevention,
Prevent the spread of epidemics after disasters.”
The civil affairs official bowed and said: "Your Highness, don't worry. Your Majesty has arranged for officials from various places to work with local gentry to jointly take charge of the resettlement of the victims. At the same time, medical officers and medicinal materials have also been mobilized to prepare for possible epidemics."
Zhu Biao nodded, feeling slightly relieved, but then he warned: "We must ensure that every disaster relief material can be distributed to the victims fairly and transparently, and there must be no corruption. I will personally supervise it. If someone is found to be rich,
If you keep your own money, you will be severely punished and will not be loaned out!"
Upon hearing this, all the officials showed awe on their faces and expressed their determination to fulfill their duties and live up to His Highness' high expectations. Zhu Biao looked around and saw that everyone had accepted the order, so he waved to signal that the rest was over, and the convoy continued to move deeper into the disaster area.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As the convoy went deeper, the disaster became more serious. What he saw along the way were desolate scenes of collapsed houses and submerged farmland. Zhu Biao's heart was filled with sympathy and compassion for the suffering of the people.
Although he is worried, he also knows that he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders and must remain calm and firm.
One evening, the convoy arrived at a village that was particularly affected by the disaster. Almost all the houses in the village collapsed, and the surviving people could only live in temporary shacks. When Zhu Biao saw this, he felt sad and quickly ordered the convoy to
He stopped and personally led the accompanying officials into the village to express condolences to the victims.
"Folks, the court has not forgotten you!" Zhu Biao's voice echoed in the village, full of warmth and strength, "We have brought food, clothing and medicinal materials, hoping to help you tide over the difficulties."
The villagers were all moved to tears when they saw the Crown Prince arriving in person. An old man tremblingly stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "Your Highness is so kind and benevolent that I and the whole village will never forget it!"
Zhu Biao quickly helped the old man up and comforted him with gentle words: "Old man, please get up quickly. This is the responsibility of the court. Don't worry, we will do our best to help you rebuild your home."
Later, Zhu Biao and his party visited the village to express condolences and learn more about the needs and difficulties of the victims. He personally distributed food and clothing to families in need and asked them for their opinions and suggestions on post-disaster reconstruction.
As night fell, Zhu Biao held an emergency meeting in the temporary command tent. He said to the accompanying officials seriously: "Tonight we must formulate a more detailed disaster relief and reconstruction plan. Every moment of delay may lead to more disasters."
Loss of life.”
All the officials nodded in agreement, and then started a heated discussion. They conducted in-depth discussions on material distribution, resettlement of victims, health and epidemic prevention, river dredging and other aspects, striving to formulate the most practical plan.
After a night of intense work, a detailed disaster relief and reconstruction plan was finally released. After reviewing it, Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction: "Very good! This plan is both comprehensive and specific, fully considering the actual situation of the disaster area and the needs of the people."
We will take action immediately and make sure to put the plan into action in the shortest possible time."
After saying that, Zhu Biao personally led several core staff to make final confirmation and adjustments to every detail of the plan.
"Mr. Zhang, the distribution of food and clothing must be fair and reasonable, especially for those lonely elderly people and children who have lost their parents, we must pay more attention." Zhu Biao told Mr. Zhang, the Minister of Household Affairs, with a hint of emotion in his tone.
Unquestionable firmness.
Mr. Zhang bowed and responded: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will personally supervise and ensure that every grain of food and every piece of clothing can be delivered to the people who need it most."
"Master Li, regarding the construction of temporary shelters, we must not only consider quantity, but also pay attention to quality and safety. We cannot let the victims get hurt again in the process of rebuilding their homes." Zhu Biao turned to Master Li, who was in charge of civil affairs, his eyes full of concern.
.
Mr. Li nodded: "What His Highness said is absolutely true. I have arranged for craftsmen to inspect the construction site first to ensure that the foundation is stable and to use stronger materials to withstand possible secondary disasters."
At this time, a young water conservancy expert came forward, looking slightly nervous: "Your Highness, regarding the river dredging project, although we have made a detailed plan, we are still short of manpower and materials. Can we mobilize it from nearby states and counties?
More labor?”
Zhu Biao pondered for a moment and looked firmly: "Shortage of manpower is indeed a problem, but we cannot delay it. You immediately draft the transfer order. After I sign it, you personally go to the states and counties to coordinate, and be sure to gather enough manpower and material resources in the shortest possible time."
When the water conservancy expert heard this, a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes: "Thank you for your support, Your Highness. I will definitely live up to your trust."
After the discussion, Zhu Biao personally went to several severely affected villages to check the distribution of relief supplies and had cordial conversations with the victims to understand their actual needs.
"Although we have made some progress today, the disaster situation is still severe and there is no room for relaxation." Although Zhu Biao's voice sounded tired, he was still firm and powerful. "Tomorrow, we will continue to speed up the distribution of disaster relief materials and start dredging the rivers.
project to lay the foundation for long-term flood control."
Mr. Zhang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, added: "Your Highness, regarding the issue of funds for post-disaster reconstruction, I have urgently reported to the court and requested for additional funds. I believe there will be a reply soon."
Zhu Biao nodded: "Very good, funds are the key to reconstruction. At the same time, we must also actively mobilize local forces, encourage gentry and wealthy businessmen to donate, and jointly help the victims tide over the difficulties."
The meeting lasted until late at night, and Zhu Biao dragged his tired body back to the temporary resting place. He lay on the bed, but every bit of today was still replayed in his mind.
In the early morning of the next day, as the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds, Zhu Biao was ready to go. He stood on the temporary high platform and looked at the busy disaster relief scene, his heart full of strength and hope.
"Colleagues, a new day has begun. Let us join hands and continue to bring hope and warmth to the victims of Jiangnan." Zhu Biao's voice echoed throughout the audience, inspiring everyone.
Officials responded one after another and their morale was high. Zhu Biao personally led several teams to different disaster areas to personally supervise the relief work and ensure that every plan could be effectively implemented.
Zhu Biao's busy figure can be seen in every corner of the disaster area. He ate and lived with the victims, facing difficulties and challenges together. His tenacity and determination infected everyone, filling the disaster area with positivity.
atmosphere.
As the disaster relief work progressed, the disaster in Jiangnan was gradually brought under control. With the joint efforts of the court and local governments, the victims began to rebuild their homes.
Zhu Biao stood under the newly built eaves, his eyes gently scanning the busy and hopeful faces of the victims, and a warm current surged in his heart. He turned to the Minister of Revenue Zhang next to him and said: "Mr. Zhang, see
I am very relieved that the victims are gradually settling down. But there is still a long road to reconstruction, and we still need to redouble our efforts."
Mr. Zhang bowed and responded, his tone full of respect: "Your Highness's benevolence and benevolence are truly a blessing to our Ming Dynasty. I will do my best to ensure that every relief material can be put to practical use and live up to the trust of Your Highness and the court."
."
At this time, a young local official hurriedly came over, with a bit of anxiety in his expression: "Your Highness, I have something urgent to report. In recent days, although they have received relief from the court, some victims have lost their main labor force, and it is difficult to rebuild their homes.
It’s especially difficult.”
When Zhu Biao heard this, he frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then said: "This matter really needs attention. We can't just stop at material assistance, but also pay attention to their long-term livelihood."
Mr. Zhang nodded quickly: "Your Highness, I would like to see you. I will make arrangements immediately."
When the young official heard this, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your consideration. I will do my best to ensure that every disaster victim receives the care they deserve."
Later, Zhu Biao walked towards several craftsmen who were guiding the villagers to build temporary shelters and had a cordial conversation with them: "Masters, thank you for your hard work. On behalf of the court, I would like to thank you for your efforts. What is the quality of these temporary shelters? Can they withstand wind and rain?"
