Chapter 4 Rebirth
Song and Yang discussed the personnel allocation.
Song Yang decided to organize the able-bodied people and form a temporary search force of eight teams of one hundred people.
Eight teams were searching for survivors and various supplies in Fucheng, docks, nearby countryside, and riversides.
Let Fang Zhe be in charge of the Fucheng, dock and other directions.
In the countryside and on the river side, Yu Ming is in charge.
The remaining more than 4,000 people are under Song Yang's personal supervision.
Song Yang arranged temporary tasks for them, building shelters and picking food.
The survivors who have been arriving in the past two days do not yet have a place to live.
Since unified management is implemented, Song Yang will allocate a temporary residence to them.
There are many trees and bamboos around Jiangzhou City.
These are building materials that they can easily obtain.
Speaking of which, after an earthquake, many trees and bamboos were knocked down, which saved some effort in felling wood.
After Song Yang's arrangements, the division of labor among the 5,400 people was quite clear.
As for supplies, there aren’t really many.
In terms of food, it is better, except for the food stored in the palace that Fang Zhe mentioned just now.
At the temporary camp, there are also various grains and vegetables collected in the past few days.
More than 20 live pigs and some chickens and ducks were even found in the ruins.
Speaking of meat, in addition to rice porridge, people's staple food these days is meat.
After the disaster, all livestock were killed or injured.
In order not to waste food, these livestock that died accidentally became the first consumption echelon.
But even so, the amount that can be eaten is not much.
After the fire, most of them turned into coke.
According to what Fang Zhe said, the food in the palace caves is about 4,000 dan, which can last for nearly four months.
In this way, we don't have to worry about food for four months.
Coupled with the follow-up search, as well as the supplement of livestock, wild vegetables, fishing and hunting, it can probably last for five months.
By then, the grain in the fields will be almost ready to be harvested.
If this is not possible, half-cooked grains can be picked to satisfy hunger.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, the food in the fields was not greatly affected by the sky fire.
When the sky fire comes, the seeds have just been planted and the crops are only in the state of sprouts.
It will not cause large area burning and avoid the loss of food production.
When the food is harvested this season, the survivors will have enough food to survive.
The crops in the fields now were planted throughout Jiangzhou before the disaster!
In addition to food, other supplies such as cloth, tools, weapons, building materials, etc. have been picked up in the past few days.
But it is not the main collection target.
Later, when food becomes stable, the collection focus will shift to materials other than food.
Having these things will also make the subsequent reconstruction work much easier.
"Okay. Let's stop the discussion today. Before setting off tomorrow, gather everyone together. I want to talk to everyone."
Song Yang wants to cheer up the survivors, there must always be hope.
Even some white lies.
…
Song Yang woke up early on the fourth day.
The eight teams searching for supplies have been assembled, and the remaining more than a thousand people are also gathering in an open place.
"People! We are now facing an unprecedented survival challenge."
"Natural disasters have destroyed our home, but they cannot destroy our will to live."
"I know that your relatives died in this disaster, and so did I!"
"My king's palace has been destroyed!"
"This king's mother-in-law is also... alas!"
Song Yang looked sad, and the people also sobbed quietly.
The loss of loved ones made everyone sad, and gradually there were more and more negative emotions among the crowd.
Song Yang didn't wait for the people to cry and shouted immediately:
"This king has lost his mother and concubine! But! His spirit in heaven must hope that this king will live well!"
"Your relatives must also hope that you can survive for them!"
"So you must live on and work hard to live for your loved ones who have lost their lives!"
"Although times are difficult and food is scarce, these are temporary."
"The court's disaster relief food will come! We must hold on!"
Song Yang guided the people to express a few emotions and immediately changed their goals.
And set the tone.
Relief will definitely come.
The imperial court has not given up on you.
Only in this way can everyone's enthusiasm be fully mobilized.
After hearing this, the survivors' faces became brighter.
"Before this, I declare that the entire Jiangzhou Prefecture is in a state of emergency."
"All supplies are centrally allocated by the palace!"
"I promise that everyone will have food to eat and no one will starve to death!"
This is the most important point Song Yang wants to make today.
In the past few days, only Fang Changshi verbally communicated some requirements.
Today Song Yang is going to declare a state of emergency in front of everyone.
"Another thing that everyone should be happy about is that this year's spring plowing has ended! How much food has been grown in the fields?"
"This is the food for the entire Jiangzhou!"
"And how many of us are left now?"
"Only a few thousand!"
"Once the food is harvested, our good days will come!"
If only the state of emergency was mentioned, the survivors would definitely have complaints.
Therefore, Song Yang first affirmed the imperial government's relief meeting, and now offered numerous major benefits of autumn grain.
Those reluctances were immediately diluted.
There will indeed be a lot of autumn food.
Never mind how many fields were damaged.
It doesn’t matter how much food these five thousand people can harvest.
The favorable aspects must be presented in order to fully enhance the confidence of the survivors.
And the benefits of autumn grain will be discussed later.
It can also make the people feel that even if the government's relief does not come,
As long as we wait until the food is mature, all problems can be easily solved.
It makes everyone feel that the state of emergency is nothing more than a temporary measure.
When the situation stabilizes, the remaining people still have hope to live a good life.
"You have all personally experienced this disaster, and you know what kind of hellish scene it was that day."
"I believe that the surrounding states and counties have also suffered disasters."
"As the saying goes, water from afar cannot quench the thirst of those near you. We cannot wait for relief from the imperial court!"
"If you want to live, you must have the courage to be self-reliant and live by your own efforts."
"There is food in the ruins! There is prey in the mountains and forests!"
"We have to get all this food with our own hands!"
"Follow me! Follow me!"
"Do it yourself!"
“Plenty of food and clothing!”
There is preparation ahead.
Song Yang's words can give survivors the confidence to persevere on their own.
"I believe that through our own efforts, we will definitely rebuild our home!"
"I will lead you back to the prosperous age of Daqian!"
"You will be reborn from the ashes!"
Song Yang's passionate speech infected all survivors.
At this moment, his body exuded a golden light that no one noticed.
This brilliance made the survivors even more convinced of what he said.
It ignited the courage to live.
This moment represents the beginning of rebirth for the survivors.
