Chapter 36 Rapid Reconstruction
"One, two, three, four..."
After arriving at the disaster relief site, the ministers immediately dispersed, and then counted each head and head to the victims in the simple wooden shed like counting sheep.
In order to count the number of victims in the disaster relief site, these officials adopted various methods.
There were a little stupid official who counted one or two places based on the number of heads of the victims, but soon they were dizzy and were shaken by countless faces that were constantly moving, and they developed intensive phobia, which was difficult to continue.
If there are smart officials, they will first calculate the approximate population density of the victims placed in the disaster relief site, and then measure the area of the disaster relief site.
The smartest official walked directly into the kitchen and asked the chefs about how much food the victims consumed every day.
Finally, a number with not too much error was drawn: 650,000 people.
In this largest disaster relief site in the eastern region, a total of 650,000 victims were resettled.
In addition, the three disaster relief sites set up in the north, west and south have placed an average of 50,000 people.
The total is 800,000.
In the "Disaster Relief Report", the total number of resettlement victims counted was indeed 800,000, without a trace of water.
this……
The ministers immediately fell silent.
Looking at their emperor, a 14-year-old minor, had a big question mark in his mind.
How did it be done?
How did His Majesty the Emperor do it?
With the various conditions and facilities of the empire, even if Andorha County is very close to the millions of victims, even if the imperial capital has tried its best, it will save up to 3.4 million people, at most half, and it is impossible to save them all.
But their emperor did something impossible: almost all the victims were rescued.
Created a miracle that they couldn't believe but was before them.
But even so, His Majesty the Emperor seemed not very satisfied and muttered to them:
"There are 1.5 million people in Andohar County. The sudden outbreak of floods drowned 300,000 people, and another 200,000 people fell into the flood siege and gradually died of submersion. Later, there were 200,000 people. Due to the lack of timely rescue, lack of food, and exhaustion and starvation."
"In the end, only 800,000 people were rescued."
"In fact, when the flood broke out, if people from Andorha County could go to the imperial capital to call the police two days in advance, at least 200,000 people would die less than the disaster victims."
"If the rescue forces act faster and have more advanced equipment, the victims will die less than 100,000."
"If Andorha County has established a complete disaster warning system, taken precautionary measures, and evacuate victims in advance, the total losses of victims will be reduced to less than 10,000 people, and 700,000 people will never die or disappear."
"Natural disasters are indeed terrible, but if a person does not have the determination and preparation to deal with them, he will only be unable to escape and suffer heavy losses."
"On the contrary, if all precautions and preparations are made, Andoha County is more than enough to save itself. Why do we need to make great efforts to rescue each other? What's there to be afraid of just natural disasters?"
Hearing His Majesty the Emperor's words.
Surprisingly no one among the ministers came forward to refute, but instead fell into deep thought, thinking that although His Majesty was young, what he said was very reasonable.
only……
Everyone can tell the great truth, but whether the truths that are expressed can be achieved and can be turned into concrete practice is another matter.
Moreover, the Emperor rescued the 800,000 victims. After learning about the specific rescue methods, the ministers were convinced, but what should I do afterwards?
You should know that these 800,000 victims have almost nothing, and they have to rely on the state to support them. Then they have to take out a large amount of money and grain to help them rebuild their homes and resume production. They will not see any rewards for at least three years, as if they are carrying a huge burden.
The Minister of Finance Tashik initially estimated that money alone would cost more than 5 million gold tower shields, and there were countless foods.
The treasury will definitely not be able to bear such a huge burden, after all, it was only last year that the loopholes that were not enough to make ends meet.
I can only ask His Majesty the Emperor to continue paying for money and do good deeds to the end.
So what will Zhou Ming do next?
He contracted all the reconstruction projects in Andorha County and continued to invest huge amounts of money and grain. After the flood basically receded, he immediately organized 800,000 victims to carry out vigorous reconstruction work.
Then, in just one year, three extremely magnificent projects were completed!
The first item was to build an Andorhar Reservoir with a storage capacity of more than 50 billion cubic meters, using millions of tons of cement (which Zhou Ming burned). The reservoir lake area exceeded 1,500 square kilometers, and the main dam was 80 meters high, which was able to withstand the once-in-a-century flood.
After the Andorha Reservoir is completed, not only will the flood be completely controlled, but it will also bring three major benefits.
One is to irrigate farmland. Tens of millions of acres of farmland will obtain good irrigation conditions. Andorha County, which has been flooded for nine years, will become one of the most fertile grain-producing areas of the Orunian Empire.
The second is fish farming. In the vast lake surface of the Andoha Reservoir, countless fish can be raised. In the tens of thousands of fish ponds excavated downstream of the reservoir, countless fish can also be raised... Various fish will become specialties of Andohare County, creating a lot of wealth for the people.
The three are that Andorha County can build an industrial town.
Because after the completion of Andorha Reservoir, the 80-meter-high drop of the main dam can provide abundant hydraulic resources, and the installation of a large number of hydraulic mechanical devices here will undoubtedly bring a huge improvement in production efficiency to the industrial development of the Orunian Empire.
In addition, Andoha County, which has become a hometown of fish and rice and an industrial center around Andoha Reservoir, will export countless industrial and agricultural products to the outside world and create countless opportunities and wealth.
How could Zhou Ming let go of these opportunities and wealth?
The Royal Commercial Group in his hands will carry out in-depth cooperation with the victims of Andorha County, sign a purchase and sales contract, take over all agricultural and sideline products, then carry out industrial processing, and finally sell it nationwide... It is expected that at least it can bring more than 10 million Jintadun income to the Royal Commercial Group every year.
The post-disaster reconstruction funds that Zhou Ming took out were only about 10 million Jinta Shield... the capital could be recovered in one year.
In addition, Zhou Ming also spent a million gold tower shields to build a two-way carriage track from the imperial capital to Andorha County to facilitate the exchange and transportation of personnel and products... This is the second grand project.
In addition to the third grand project that has been completed in the planning... the Imperial Capital Central Airport and the light gas (light gas, inert gas, with a nature similar to the "airless" in the previous copy, and a very low density) floating craft manufacturing plant are also in a intensive construction.
In just one year, Zhou Ming accomplished two major tasks, completed the reconstruction of the entire disaster area, and was expected to become the "hometown of fish and rice" and "industrial center" Andorha County, which will bring him extremely rich benefits from next year.
Various construction activities have been completed.
Its efficiency is so high.
The construction speed is so fast.
It's simply incredible.
It can be described as "speed".
According to the original expectations of the ministers, the reconstruction of the disaster area will take at least three years. As for the stunning Andorhar Reservoir, which rose from the ground and was shocking, it is not in the plan of the ministers. If the empire had such a plan, the construction fund for this reservoir would cost at least 50 million Jinta Shields, and the construction cycle would have to be more than 20 years!
But in less than a year, the reservoir stood in front of them, causing them to rub their eyes hard, thinking that they had hallucinations.
How did it be done?
What force did such a huge reservoir be built?
Could it be that there is a god who is helping me?
In front of Zhou Ming, the ministers asked one after another because they really couldn't believe that relying on the power of mortals, the water storage dam could be built.
The ministers were right in speculation. In order to speed up the construction of Andorhare Reservoir, Zhou Ming did use the power of "transcending nature".
The power of blue!
Although this neutral and soft power is slightly insufficient in attack power, it has miraculous effects in controlling water and soil.
Chapter completed!
