Chapter 64:
“Wangzhou, Wangzhou was flooded by the sea god!”
A huge wave a hundred feet high hit, not to mention a small boat, even a large boat was overturned on the spot, and the officials who fled the city people thought they had escaped, but when the big wave came, they took all their belongings with them. All fell into the water.
The remaining waves rushed into the port, and the displayed sea water roared into the city, but it seemed to have life. It was much gentler when it came to the old and weak, women and children. The waves directly washed down the original Wangzhou official residence and filled the house where the original city lord lived. . The bones that were originally buried in the ground were turned out and taken away in time. Because of the omens, the people in this city hid in high places when the waves came, and few were swept away and fell directly into the sea to drown.
The waves came and went in a hurry, just like the city of Qiongzhou, it quickly subsided. But the sea water remained, and Wangzhou completely became a water city. Only some of the tops of the second floors of the houses could be seen. Some houses had weak foundations and even fell directly into the water.
The water was calm, and the sun even appeared in the sky. The sun shone on the water, sparkling and shining with rainbow-like colors. Tens of thousands of people in Wangzhou City recovered from their shock, looked at the sky that had stopped thundering, and then looked at their submerged house, crying out, “House, my house!”
Back then, they didn’t want to go, but now there is water everywhere, and they can’t even walk. The bowels of these people are turning green. The giant waves brought not only the seawater, but also the creatures in the sea. Small fish and shrimps are usually food, but when swimming, if they are bitten by sea shrimps and crabs, people will definitely be injured.
Moreover, although Qiongzhou and Wangzhou are not very far apart, only young people with excellent water skills can successfully cross this sea area, and it is impossible for ordinary people to swim there. Just when these people were crying and sad, the people standing on a high place watching suddenly exclaimed: “A boat, there is a boat!”
They subconsciously followed the line of sight of the person who made the sound, and sure enough, they saw a boat. It was a boat they were very familiar with. There was a logo on the boat that they were very familiar with. It was the design on the stone tablet of Qiongzhou New City.
Standing at the head of the bed, the soldiers were tall and big, wearing light armor: “Our city lord is benevolent, saying that the people are innocent and should not be implicated, and specially arranged for us to rescue everyone, but Qiongzhou New City only needs kind and hard-working people, not Take the villains and slackers, think about it for yourself, and if you are willing to be the people of Qiongzhou City, you can board the boat.”
Before he finished speaking, someone hurriedly shouted: “We are willing, very willing, my lord, do your best, and hurry up and save us.”
As soon as the man finished speaking, someone continued: “Save me, I have money, I have a lot of money, I will give you money, you save me first!”
No matter when, people who are accustomed to privilege still want to enjoy privilege, this is interesting, at least they know how to spend money to buy it, and those who have brain problems, their tone is very arrogant: “My father is the deputy city lord, you don’t want it. Save those pariahs, save me first!”
The guy who said this happened to be near the boat. He and a plainly dressed grandma nearby were taken to the boat from a height, and then the fat-headed and big-eared rich boy was kicked into the sea again.
The latter fluttered a few times, choked several saliva, and was thrown back to the original position.
The humiliating young general in charge of saving people put his hands on his hips, and his voice was particularly loud: “A pariah, who do you call it, you Wangzhou City has been submerged by the Sea God, and you are being punished by yourself, and you still consider yourself to be a high-ranking uncle. ”
There is a simple trumpet made by Jiang Chaosheng at sea. The young general held the trumpet and shouted to the people in all directions.
“Our manpower is limited. According to the orders of King An and the princess, all people are equal regardless of their status. Priority will be given to saving the elderly, the weak, women and children. Those who are injured will go first, and the others will wait in place. You can rest assured that we will do it one by one. Don’t worry about the rest, we brought dry food and water, just send the weak first, and we can save all of you in two or three days at most! You can save yourself if you have the ability, you can follow us. Walk.”
In order to stabilize the people, all the rescue boats will not leave together, but will transfer when they have enough refugees. The empty boat will bring some supplies such as medical food, and the horns will keep playing: “Don’t worry, everyone retreat in an orderly manner. , if you fight for me, no one will be able to leave. If you work hard, you will be able to reach Qiongzhou soon! We will not retreat until the last person is rescued.”
Before they came, Jiang Chaosheng had been trained. Unlike the soldiers in the capital, he raised a soldier who absolutely obeyed discipline and was strictly forbidden. Even if it is one of his own, if he makes a mistake, he will definitely be punished, and it will be a heavy punishment.
Before the huge waves fell, there were 70,000 registered residents in Qiongzhou City, of which 50,000 were original residents, 35,000 were soldiers, their families and slaves, and 10,000 were from other places in the past six months. The remaining 20,000 residents who came here are the people who retreated in advance because they were afraid of being flooded. They were all ordinary people, and they had no fighting ability.
There are 80,000 residents in Wangzhou City, and many of them are young and strong. Although the soldiers of Wangzhou City are not as good as the elites of Qiongzhou, and there are guards raised by those fighting tyrants, this time we will accept such a situation. There are so many newcomers, he can guess the chaos of the scene without coming here. Who will be rescued first, and where will these people be sent to after they are rescued? Jiang Chaosheng has arranged for people to rehearse in advance. Although there will definitely be some troubles on the road, it will definitely not happen. Big mess.
The ships were all equipped with weapons, and they were not worried that the ships that Qiongzhou sent to rescue would be directly robbed. In fact, the sudden huge wave had already frightened most of the people in advance. At this moment, the people who suffered the disaster had no doubts about the punishment of the Sea God. Before the sea had receded, they stole the boat. Maybe they would die in the middle of the road because they angered the sea god. Out of fear of the gods, the worst thing Jiang Chaosheng imagined did not happen.
Later, with the encouragement of the soldiers, the young and middle-aged people in Wangzhou City who had spare energy also searched for tools that could be used to move the scattered people to a safer place, and it was also convenient for them to get on the boat and leave.
The rescue went very smoothly, at least the first ship of the old and the weak arrived at Qiongzhou New City two hours after the waves subsided. In order to accept these refugees, Jiang Chaosheng opened up a special area and temporarily added many jobs. There are female nurses who are in charge of dressing the wounds, and young guys who help carry the heavy injured.
When she saw the women in uniform and helping bandages, when they arrived in a safe environment, a certain stubborn old lady couldn’t help but said, “How can women show their faces casually and touch other men!”
They have never been to Qiongzhou. If there is no accident, they may never walk out of that one acre of land when they die.
The nurse team was a widow in her thirties who had brought up several children. She was agile and strong. She is neither from Qiongzhou nor Wangzhou. Her hometown is out of town. She was sold several times and gave birth to four or five children. It is not easy for a widow to have several children. Otherwise, she would not be recruiting nurses in Jiang Chaosheng. when the first to stand up.
But after this period of tempering, he has recognized his work: “Men and women are all wounded in the eyes of our nurses, what is the difference between a man’s rotten flesh and a woman’s, Qiongzhou has Qiongzhou’s law , If you talk nonsense again and insult the reputation of the nurse team, we will call the **** directly.”
Each nurse was actually dressed neatly and tightly, with gloves on her hands. If someone dares to use the motor to move their feet, the nurses will immediately be taken away by the harassers as soon as they make a sound.
Nurses know that someone will stand up for themselves, they don’t have to worry about public opinion issues, and they work very hard. As for the gossip of some people in private, even if they don’t do this kind of work, it doesn’t matter that some people gossip. Anyway, the laws in the city are slanderous and insulting, and some people have suffered, so they should know to keep their mouths shut.
The development of a city requires the power of women. Originally, Qiongzhou was short of people. If the woman was trapped at home, it would actually be a huge waste of manpower and material resources, and she just kept on internal friction.
Jiang Chaosheng can’t change other places for the time being, but he still wants to do something for these women in this sea that belongs to him alone. However, it is not easy to promote these. Jiang Chaosheng cannot force everyone to come out to work. He can only control relevant public opinion as much as possible and create a relatively relaxed and lenient environment.
With the full cooperation of everyone, they took only one day and one night to relocate the rest of Wangzhou City to Qiongzhou. Those with wealth can spend money to buy houses. Before, Jiang Chaosheng let so many slaves build a bunch of houses, most of which were empty and no one lived there. Now it just comes in handy.
If you don’t have enough money, you can take a mortgage loan from the bank first. The house deed and title deed are pressed in the bank, and the debt is repaid on a monthly basis. Only when the debt is paid off can the house deed and land deed be obtained. If the delay is not repaid, the house will be taken away by the government. , Of course, this approach requires a down payment, and the ratio is set at 30%. Of course, they are willing to pay more money and pay less down payment, and Jiang Chaosheng will not stop him.
If the poor and the poor have nothing, they will all live in resettlement houses and provide them with a small interest-free loan for half a year. If the amount exceeds this amount, interest will be paid. This half-year loan is issued every month, and the registered person receives it by receipt. The fee is not much, which is enough to ensure the basic life of the people. Giving a large sum of money at one time, and then letting these people run away with the money, Jiang Chaosheng is not a fool to take advantage of it, and it is impossible to do such a stupid thing.
The newly added population and related materials were all turned into bound booklets, and then sent to the city lord’s mansion. Jiang Chaosheng held Ji Xuanbing on his lap to look at it, and kissed the tip of the little merman’s hair: “These are all thanks to Madam. .”
The corners of Ji Xuanbing’s mouth rose wildly, but his mouth was very modest: “Where and where, the husband’s credit is great, everything is what you think, you arrange.”
Don’t think he didn’t know, people in and outside the city were busy all night, and Jiang Chaosheng only slept for two hours yesterday.
“It’s the efforts of the two of us together.” Jiang Chaosheng said with a smile, “With so many people added all at once, there must be more excitement, and we have to end it.”
