935 Deputy Prime Minister participates in politics
Unlike the places in the south where the plague is raging, in the northern city of Seris, in the meeting room of the imperial cabinet, meetings on various issues in the southern region are being held.
"The epidemic in the southern kingdom is a relatively urgent matter at present. The transportation conditions there are very poor. We have to arrange special transportation troops to solve the local material shortage problem." The minister in charge of transportation was discussing this during the cabinet meeting.
The two prime ministers, the prime minister and the deputy, explained the disaster in the southern kingdom.
When the news of the plague had just spread back to Seris, the Elanshir Empire began to prepare to support the southern region.
After all, communication in this era has become very advanced, and the speed of delivering messages is already measured in seconds.
With this speed of information transmission, senior officials of the Airanhill Empire can naturally save a lot of time and respond as quickly as possible when dealing with these remote areas.
Unlike previous empires, the Elanshir Empire is too vast, so as the prime minister, Desel has much greater power than the prime ministers of other previous empires.
He doesn't need to hold meetings or study any plans. He only needs to report to Chris and discuss with His Majesty the Emperor, and then he can directly mobilize the power of the empire to help those areas in need.
Therefore, when the plague first started to spread, the Elanshir Empire had already begun to transport various supplies to the south.
"The previous material transport ships have been dispatched. When we learned that the epidemic started to spread in the south, we immediately allocated food and other materials and made preparations to stabilize local prices." The official had just adapted to the situation.
Alves of the work environment said.
Seeing Alves nodding slightly while looking at the backup report, he started talking about the difficulties again: "The 17th Transport Fleet has gone south. More than 30 transport ships have transported more than 50,000 tons of supplies. However, the fleet has gone south.
The speed is really too slow.”
"Is there any other way?" Having just taken over some work, Alves knew that his experience in handling government affairs was not as good as that of these young officials who were familiar with the system of the Ilanhill Empire, so he asked humbly.
The other party seemed very happy that the deputy prime minister could ask him questions, and immediately continued: "Two days ago, we have deployed two floating transport ships, fully loaded with various relief supplies, and sailed to the south..."
After taking a breath, he continued: "They have arrived in the southern region, and the distribution of supplies has been handed over to more professional people to direct and deploy."
"You are doing the right thing! I don't understand your management model, so I can't make any additional suggestions on allocating supplies and arranging disaster relief personnel." Alves thought about it carefully and said, "But,
After all, I have led a...'region', so I can be pretty sure that no matter which country in the world the officials...are the same."
"Those officials who have not been selected and screened must not be able to handle this disaster well." He has very rich experience in this area, which is actually very similar to Des.
Most of the officials of this generation in the empire came from humble backgrounds. At most, they were wealthy businessmen and small nobles. These people had actually had some contact with the lower world.
They all know what the officials of the old world are like, and they also know very well how poor the management level of those people is.
Under such circumstances, entrusting disaster relief and other tasks to these old nobles who were waiting to die, as well as the archons and old city lords of the old world, was no different from forcing the desperate civilians to rebel.
"So, my opinion is to send out some capable officials as soon as possible to take over the management of the plague-infected areas... This way, it will be less likely to cause trouble." Finally, Alves concluded.
"I have sent some officials to the southern region, but they have not sent back any feedback, so we cannot judge what extent the local plague has reached." Desel handed another copy to Alves.
Report, and introduced the early arrangements of the empire.
These arrangements are actually very comprehensive. Chris has a huge historical library for reference, so he is naturally able to deal with such problems with ease.
"Then we can only wait for the news." Alves breathed a sigh of relief and praised Deser's response measures: "This is already a very comprehensive response measure, which is better than what many countries have done.
better."
At this time, the officials of the medical department said worriedly: "Master Desel, Master Alves, if the plague in the southern kingdom is not effectively controlled, it is likely to spread to Kashyyyk District and Barmeshir District...
…This will affect the empire’s population growth for more than three years.”
"In addition, if the problem becomes more serious, the empire's rule in the southern region may be shaken..." He gave a rather worrying report: "The news from the medical team...the distribution of specific drugs is not
ideal……"
"The local census has not been completed yet, and we do not have any information about local civilians." He said while pushing a demographic report about the southern region to the center of the conference table.
"The medical team does not know the number of local residents because there is no household registration system and there is no way to supervise the distribution or collection of medicines." Then, he pointed to the report and said to his two immediate superiors: "Although special medicines have been sent to the disaster area,
, the nearby army has also begun to take action... However, it needs to be re-investigated one by one, and then the medicine is distributed, and the speed is very slow..."
For the medical sector, these tasks involve too many government departments, and they cannot do it overnight.
In this case, His Majesty the Emperor or the Prime Minister usually takes the lead, and all departments work together to solve the problem as quickly as possible.
But it is obviously too late to set up some kind of household registration system now, count the number of local civilians, and then distribute special medicines door to door.
"In this case, it's better to deal with special cases." Des thought for a moment, looked at the officials in the medical department, and said, "Save civilians as much as possible first, and let the army bring the medicine and distribute it directly!
Even if we distribute it repeatedly and waste some medicines, we won’t hesitate..."
"If there are enough medicines..." After hearing this, Alves felt that it was a bit wasteful to ignore the cost.
However, the medical department official's answer made Alves feel what it means to be the world's largest industrial power.
Just listen to the official of the medical department say: "The medicine is very sufficient. Lord Alves prepared twice as much medicine when transporting it to the southern region."——
To digress, Long Ling has been taking chlorine for the past few days, and his hands have improved a lot. Before, his fingers were swollen and he couldn't bend them, but now they are only slightly swollen. His whole hands feel itchy and the skin is a little tight.
But it’s really uncomfortable, especially when typing. Every time I hit the keyboard, my palms feel itchy and I want to scratch them...
This is really a kind of torture, and I don’t know when it will get better. Recently, Longling will try its best to ensure updates. I would like to say sorry to everyone here.
Before, Long Ling thought that the authors who often took sick leave were in poor health. As a result, in the past few days, Long Ling's body began to suffer from various minor ailments. Long Ling also realized that sitting and typing every day was also harmful to the body.
