Chapter 139 Disaster Relief

Once we entered Luzhou, the situation was much better; the famine was not as severe.

And as we continue on this path, things continue to improve.

This famine was mainly concentrated in the Pengzhou area, and the drought in Pengzhou was the most severe.

However, due to its terrain, the climate in Luzhou is much more humid, which naturally alleviates the drought situation.

Along the way, Lü Xinyan had already begun to see the soup kitchens set up in Luzhou, which allowed the refugees who had fled famine to be able to get enough water and continue to survive.

Now, in Luzhou, the governor Zhang Zhiying has issued an order that all counties must do their utmost to help these refugees who have fled famine, and ensure that the refugees who come to Luzhou can live as long as possible.

In addition, in order to urge all counties to do their best in disaster relief, Zhang Zhiying, the governor of Luzhou, also arranged for people from the governor's office to go to various counties to check the situation and prevent the occurrence of profiteering from the disaster or embezzlement of disaster relief grain.

In particular, the counties bordering Pengzhou attracted Zhang Zhiying's attention, and he became more proactive and strict in supervising the disaster relief efforts.

The imperial court has already distributed a considerable amount of disaster relief grain, and Luzhou has also opened its granaries to release stored grain, all of which is used for disaster relief and rescue. This has enabled all the counties in Luzhou to undertake the task of distributing porridge, allowing these refugees to survive as much as possible.

In the matter of disaster relief and rescue, Zhang Zhiying, as the prefect of Luzhou, handled it very well. He did a good job in logistical support and supervision, which ensured that the entire disaster relief operation could be carried out smoothly and that the disaster victims who came to Luzhou were basically not starving to death.

Even some of the disaster victims who fell ill received medical treatment, and were treated with incense made from herbs such as mugwort to dispel miasma and prevent an outbreak of disease.

During famines, the physical condition of the victims declines, making them susceptible to illness and potentially causing widespread outbreaks of disease, leading to greater trouble and danger.

Governor Zhang Zhiying had previously organized disaster relief work and was experienced in these areas. He attached great importance to this and would try his best to consider all aspects to ensure the disaster relief work was done well and to prevent starvation and epidemics.

The reason why Governor Zhang Zhiying attached such importance to this matter and handled it in this way was not only to help the disaster victims, but also to ensure the safety of the people of Luzhou as much as possible.

After all, if an epidemic were to break out, it would affect not only the disaster victims, but also many people in Luzhou.

The situation was extremely complex and severe. Governor Zhang Zhiying dared not slacken his efforts in the slightest and kept focusing on disaster relief, medical treatment, and epidemic prevention to control all kinds of dangers as much as possible.

Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of Prefect Zhang Zhiying, the situation in Luzhou was indeed much better than that in Pengzhou.

As for Pengzhou, not only was the famine particularly severe, but the disaster relief efforts were also inadequate, leading to such serious consequences and causing many Pengzhou residents to flee their homes to save their lives.

In Pengzhou, there have been many casualties so far, but the disaster relief work is still very difficult.

Under such circumstances, the subsequent problems in Pengzhou will become even more serious.

In her previous life, Lü Xinyan had already witnessed the tragic scene of Pengzhou, which was like a living hell, and she still couldn't bear to recall it.

Therefore, after Lü Xinyan was reborn, she wrote letters about how Pengzhou had intercepted disaster relief grain and money and embezzled it for personal gain. She gave these letters to the person in charge, as well as to several high-ranking officials in the court, and even to the emperor in the palace. All of them received letters with various kinds of evidence.

The reason why the situation in Pengzhou became so bad was due to both natural disasters and man-made disasters.

If the man-made disaster can be resolved successfully, then the situation in Pengzhou might be different.

At the very least, it would reduce the number of deaths in Pengzhou, prevent the outbreak of subsequent epidemics and other major problems, and save more lives.

Having been fortunate enough to be reborn, and with a new space and abilities, Lü Xinyan will not only seek revenge, but also try her best to resolve or change those human tragedies and save more lives.

Having clearly received divine favor, Lü Xinyan would not only dwell on her own grudges and personal entanglements, but also hope to minimize casualties from these major natural and man-made disasters.

Especially in places like Pengzhou, where natural disasters and man-made calamities have occurred, Lü Xinyan has been working hard to make changes.

In addition to making these whistleblowing reports, Lü Xinyan also instructed his subordinates to find ways to participate in disaster relief and save more people in Pengzhou.

Throughout all these matters, Lü Xinyan tried her best to handle things carefully and thoroughly, ensuring that her personal information would not be leaked and that she would not bring more trouble and danger to herself and her family.

Fortunately, so far, Lü Xinyan's plans have been relatively successful. Officials sent by the imperial court have arrived in Pengzhou and immediately acted according to the rules, executing a number of corrupt officials and deterring the local officials in Pengzhou. This has improved the disaster relief situation and given more people who were on the verge of collapse hope for survival.

After doing those things, Lü Xinyan felt much more at ease.

However, upon arriving in Luzhou and witnessing the methods employed by the prefect Zhang Zhiying, as well as the overall situation there, Lü Xinyan was even more moved. He deeply felt that Zhang Zhiying was truly a rare and excellent official, and that many local officials in Luzhou had also performed exceptionally well in the disaster relief efforts, creating a stark contrast with those in Pengzhou.

Throughout the journey, Lü Xinyan kept a close eye on her surroundings.

Seeing that the famine victims who had fled to Luzhou were in much better condition and had a chance to survive, Lü Xinyan felt relieved.

Knowing that Zhang Zhiying, the prefect of Luzhou, was a rare and incorruptible official, Lü Xinyan had already arranged for Fengjia to use the warehouses to transfer a batch of grain to Luzhou to help with the disaster relief work there.

Since he had the ability and the food, and Zhang Zhiying was able to use the donated food where it was most needed to save lives, Lü Xinyan naturally trusted him and was willing to give him more food so that Luzhou could help more refugees who had fled famine.

Judging from the current situation, Prefect Zhang Zhiying has arranged everything very well. The grain she donated should not be wasted or embezzled, and it should all be put to good use.

Seeing how beautiful the scenery was in Luzhou, Lü Xinyan had no regrets about bringing her family here.

Settling down in such a place will make things relatively easier for them in the future.
