Chapter 382: Reactions from All Sides in the Capital
Just as Zhu Zaigui walked out of Chongwenmen and headed towards the Special District Government Office, Shuntian Prefecture also took action.

Hu Zongxian woke up as startled as Zhu Zaigui at the moment of the earthquake. Without any hesitation, he immediately sent someone to call the Chief of Patrol Police and others under Shuntian Prefecture to Shuntian Prefecture.

Hu Zongxian looked at the Shuntian Prefecture officials he had called in the middle of the night and the Shuntian Prefecture patrol police he had created in imitation of the Beijing Special District. Hu Zongxian said without further ado, "I hope you will forgive me for calling you here so late. I just felt the signs of an earthquake. Shuntian Prefecture is the most favored place for the emperor, and we must not be careless at all."

"So the reason why I'm calling you all together now is to prevent this. The Shuntian patrol officers must immediately take up their responsibilities and carefully patrol all parts of the capital. Once they find any houses that have collapsed and people trapped, they must immediately provide assistance to save them."

"Others must also act immediately and cooperate with each other according to their respective responsibilities, and strive to do their utmost to resolve any problems that may occur in Shuntian Prefecture. This government does not want to see a chaotic, even freezing Shuntian Prefecture tomorrow morning!"

After hearing Hu Zongxian's order, all the officials of Shuntian Prefecture immediately bowed and said, "We will obey your orders!"

Hu Zongxian looked at the attitude of the crowd and hummed majestically, "Hurry up and move. If you have any problems, you can report directly to this government. In addition, if the outer city of the capital needs help, you don't need to ask this government for permission, just obey the order. But before obeying the order, you must make sure that there is no trouble in the inner city of the capital. Otherwise, this government will also investigate the crime of dereliction of duty!"

Compared with the special district of the capital which is undergoing massive construction, the inner city of the capital is still relatively stable.

After all, the inner city is the core of the capital, and the buildings here are much more solid than the "small sheds" built casually by the common people in the outer city.

Although the construction focus of the Beijing Special District has begun to shift towards ordinary people in the past six months, the resources that have been shifted are still limited and there is no way to meet the needs of renovating the neighborhood houses of 500,000 or 600,000 ordinary people in the outer city of Beijing all at once.

Therefore, if the earthquake is too severe and causes heavy damage to the houses of the people living in the outer cities of the capital, it will be no small matter!
Therefore, after Hu Zongxian had arranged the affairs in the inner city, he also said these words to these people.

This shows that Hu Zongxian was a man with a broad vision and not a selfish person who only cared about his own business.

Just when Zhu Zaigui hurried to the Special District Office outside Chongwenmen, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Hai Rui and others were already waiting there.

When the three men saw Zhu Zaigui getting off the carriage, they immediately prepared to salute.

Zhu Zaigui walked quickly towards the government office, saying as he walked, "Stop going through all this empty formalities, come in and talk."

Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Hai Rui and others immediately stopped what they were doing and followed Zhu Zaigui into the courtyard of the Special District Government.

Zhu Zaiqi looked at Gao Gong and the other two in the light of the lantern and asked, "Have you arranged everything?"

Gao Gong immediately replied: "After I felt the earthquake, I rushed here without stopping. I have ordered the various departments and offices under the Special District Office, as well as the Special District Patrol Police, to inspect all places."

After hearing Gao Gong's reply, Zhu Zaigui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Mr. Gao did a good job. We must do a good job of patrolling, and if we find people affected by the earthquake, we must lend a helping hand as soon as possible."

"Our special zone is different from the inner city. The inner city walls are solid and the houses are solid. As long as the earthquake is not extremely destructive, the roofs of the houses will only shake a few times and will not be damaged. But the special zone is different. Although there are newly built solid houses in the special zone, most of them are still the residences of the people that have not had time to be reinforced and planned."

"These places have huge hidden dangers and it is difficult to guarantee the quality. Once a large number of houses collapse, the people in the Special Administrative Region will have no place to live to keep warm, and the consequences will be extremely serious."

Zhu Zaigui's words were not alarmist. He was really too afraid that the power of this earthquake would reach the houses in the outer city of the capital that were built in a haphazard manner and where civilians lived.

Once something goes wrong, the SAR government will certainly become the target of criticism by some people. After all, any reform cannot be "good for you, good for me, and good for everyone", and it will always hurt the interests of some people.

When these people are suppressed by the general trend, they will swallow their anger and give up their own interests.

But if they are given a reason to attack the new policy, they will definitely spare no effort.

Therefore, the top priority is to ensure that the people within the Beijing Special District are not affected by this earthquake.

As long as the people are safe, even if a few clowns come out and use the "earthquake" as an excuse to attack the SAR's new policies, it is nothing more than a gnat trying to shake a tree and is not worth refuting at all.

But if many people suffer, even if the suffering is caused by themselves, it will become a stain on the special administrative region government.

Who made them the parents of the people in the Beijing Special District?

Now that the people have suffered a disaster, shouldn't the SAR government take the responsibility and bear the blame?
Otherwise, if the official doesn't even take responsibility and just gives objective reasons, then he is not much of a parent official!

It’s better to go home and sell sweet potatoes as soon as possible!

Therefore, at this time, Gao Gong and others cannot find any excuses to shirk their responsibilities. They must make any response plans as soon as possible and make corrections if necessary and learn from them if not.

Otherwise, they will never be able to become a high-ranking official in the imperial court who can command the support of the people.

Zhu Zaigui looked at Hai Rui again and asked, "How are the workers and civilians doing?"

Hai Rui replied, "I have personally checked it out. Nothing is wrong in the workers' sheds and dormitories. Many people have not been awakened by the earthquake."

When Zhu Zaigui heard this, he felt relieved.

"It's good that they weren't awakened. If they weren't awakened, it means that the earthquake's harm to the capital is limited. This is a blessing in disguise!"

Gao Gong and the others listened to Zhu Zaigui's sigh and saw that he was still worried. They couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, since the earthquake will not cause much harm to the capital, why are you still so worried?"

Zhu Zaigui sighed and said, "What I am worried about is not the capital, but the place where the earthquake originated. The capital has such obvious tremors, just imagine what the scene is like at the epicenter? What if the damage caused by this earthquake is beyond our imagination? So, how big is the power and scope of this earthquake that I am worried about? I hope that it will only shake the area near the capital, and other places will be safe."
