I am not Yuan Shu

Chapter 146 He is a civilian with a background

Before this major flood, the largest emergency mobilization event that Yi Xin Club had experienced was for 20,000 people.

That is to say, even in the face of several general mobilizations during the Qiang invasion, the total population of Maoling County was only more than 20,000, and Yi Xin would have covered it all.

Now, the number of people in need of help has at least tripled to over 60,000.

And it’s not that they only needed rescue of 60,000 people, but that until the eighth day of June in the first year of Xiping, they had helped about 60,000 people, and this number was still rising.

What's even more terrible is that as the news spread, those people who were originally guarding outside the gate of Luoyang City and trying to enter Luoyang City to seek help gradually moved closer to the two disaster relief camps in Shouyang Mountain and Taixue.

They couldn't find any hope of survival in Luoyang, so they came to these two places to try their luck, and they actually found it.

There are awnings, food, clothes, medicines, and people who manage the order, so there won't be any large-scale fighting or chaos. The safety factor is high enough to ensure their survival.

More and more disaster-stricken people gathered to ask for help. The number of people kept increasing, and one mouth after another opened for food. This greatly increased the difficulty and intensity of the work of the Yi Xin Hui management.

Yuan Shu's overclocked brain faced another high-intensity test and high-speed sublimation.

He didn't feel very tired, he just felt that he had made progress. His brain continued to stand the test in the high-intensity work environment, constantly upgrading, upgrading, and upgrading.

The allocation of materials, replenishment of food, arrangement of medicines and doctors, placement and handling of personnel, severe crackdown on illegal and criminal activities, etc. are not a problem for him.

In terms of supplies, he used his own reserves and sent people to the surrounding counties to purchase them, considering that it was the time when summer grain was beginning to be harvested and the price of grain would not be too high.

Moreover, the number of people affected by the disaster is not very large, so purchasing more food will not cause big fluctuations in food prices.

Therefore, Yuan Shu confidently arranged for the logistics department to go to Hedong County, Henei County, Chenliu County, and Yingchuan County to purchase grain. The dispersed purchases also avoided any major fluctuations in grain prices in these places.

Medicines and doctors can be obtained nearby in Luoyang City. The medical resources in Luoyang City are definitely the best in this era. As long as you are willing to spend money, you will not miss out on these.

Although the problem of relocating an increasing number of disaster victims is troublesome, it is not a big problem as long as there is enough open space and materials.

The original awnings and those in the Imperial College were not enough, so we had to expand them temporarily and build more awnings. Fortunately, it is summer now and the temperature is not low, so there is not much demand for warmth. As long as there are awnings and cloth, it is barely enough for people to settle down temporarily.

If there are sick people, they will be concentrated in sick camps for diagnosis and treatment. Sick camps are built in farther and more remote places and separated from healthy people.

Yuan Shu attached great importance to this. The strategy he formulated was to try his best to avoid large-scale infectious disease outbreaks caused by large-scale gatherings of people. If an infectious disease of a certain scale occurred under such circumstances, it would simply be a disaster.

As for illegal things...

It really does.

After all, we can't expect everyone to be a saint, and we can't expect everyone to sacrifice themselves for others.

Some of the rescued victims either felt that there was not enough food, or that orphans and widows were easy to bully, so some of them formed groups to snatch the distributed rations.

In response to this situation, Yuan Shu will also have targeted measures, and the Security Department is not just there to do nothing.

Similar things actually occurred during the three defense battles of Maoling, so Yuan Shu would not ignore the issue of public security management.

At the beginning of this operation, he formulated a patrol security plan, arranged a group of members of the Security Department to stay behind, and formed ten patrol teams with good families from Liangzhou who had participated in military training.

The patrol team patrols day and night in rotation. When they find such problems, they will go straight up and catch the person. Once they have caught the person, they will first take him to do a set of memory-enhancing radio gymnastics to help them learn a good memory.

It is not enough to just do the gymnastics, they also have to parade through the streets to make the news widely known and to deter all potential people who may be inclined to take such actions. Then these people will be packed up and sent to the Luoyang County government office to be dealt with by the Luoyang County Magistrate.

In the face of a major disaster, instead of working together, people are harming each other and bullying the vulnerable groups.

People like this deserve to be beaten!

Because of this kind and strict rescue and management style, Yuan Shu quickly established his image among the disaster victims. An image of a kind-hearted but strict reward and punishment person quickly emerged in people's minds.

Once this image was established, order was naturally formed. Therefore, from the beginning to the end of the flood, the management of the entire disaster relief camp was always relatively orderly, and nothing unmanageable happened.

While Yuan Shu was fighting on the front line of rescuing the victims, the people in Luoyang City had their own opinions and plans about the occurrence and progress of this incident.

First of all, the Luoyang court, after a series of disputes and wrangling, from May 26th to May 29th, still did not come up with an effective plan. They were unwilling to contribute money, unwilling to contribute effort, unwilling to take responsibility, and blamed each other.

There were even many officials who demanded compensation from the court for their homes being flooded and for property losses. They didn't care what was happening outside, as long as they ensured that their property was not lost.

In the end, even things like whether the Luoyang city gates should be opened or whether soup kitchens should be set up could not be decided.

Some people think that the city gates should be opened to let the victims in, while others think that the unruly people outside the city should not be allowed in, so as to prevent them from causing trouble and undermining the stability of Luoyang City.

It was not until May 30th that the court learned that Yuan Shu had led his disciples to rescue people outside the city, and had set up a camp for disaster victims, to which they began to transfer large numbers of victims.

After the news spread, the Luoyang court suddenly fell into an embarrassing situation.

From the perspective of these insects' personal selfishness, they must be happy that Yuan Shu took the initiative to help them take over the mess outside Luoyang City. Isn't it wonderful to just sit back and enjoy the results without them having to spend money, work or take any responsibility?
But the problem is that, from the overall perspective of the Luoyang court, Yuan Shu's actions were a slap in everyone's face.

There was a disaster outside the city, which was obviously the responsibility of the court and the government. Rescuing the victims and sorting out the aftermath were also the things these gentlemen should do. Now they are not doing it, but letting Yuan Shu, a man without official status, do it. If this matter gets out, how will people in the world view them?
Originally, if we had just ignored it and waited for the flood to recede and everyone to go out and clean up the mess, this matter could have been handled in a low-key manner, but the problem is that now someone has stepped forward to deal with it, and this person is not an official.

This is very embarrassing.

There is a comparison!

Compared with you, what have we, the officials in power, become?

What's even more terrible is that Luoyang is under the feet of the emperor, and the emperor hasn't moved yet, but you, a commoner, have started to move. So where do you put the emperor?

The emperor doesn't care about his reputation? The emperor doesn't care about his reputation? The emperor can just watch someone die without helping?

No politics!

Totally non-political!
Starting from the beginning of June, sporadic criticisms of Yuan Shu began to appear in the court in response to this situation.

They thought that Yuan Shu's behavior was inappropriate and that he was trying to buy people's hearts and minds. He was at the foot of the emperor, and the court had not taken any action yet, but he had taken action. In this way, where did Yuan Shu put the emperor?
However, the scope has always been relatively small, and the words have been relatively mild, not as crazy as before.

The key point is that Yuan Shu is a member of the Yuan family, a direct descendant of the Runan Yuan family, which has been a family of three dukes for four generations. He was the strongest Confucian scholar who had overwhelmed the Confucian scholars in Luoyang and gained huge reputation and power. He was a person who had close ties with the government.

His father was Grand Coachman Yuan Feng, his third uncle was Minister of the Interior Yuan Wei, and his cousin was Chief of the Imperial Guards Yuan Chen.

He also had a distant relative, Yuan Pang, who served as the Minister of Defense.

He is not a simple civilian, he is a civilian with a background.

If the imperial court wants to take action, it also has to consider whether the target has a background. If the target has a background, you have to look at the owner when you beat the dog, right?

What is even more embarrassing for many officials who dare not speak out is that there are actually many of their family members, and even their own sons, who joined Yuan Shu in the rescue operation.

Because of Yuan Shu's great reputation in Luoyang City, many young students joined his school of psychology, studied with him, and became his students and disciples. Among them were many Luoyang officials and even children of powerful families.

This time, Yuan Shu not only went out himself, but also arranged nearly 20,000 disciples who followed him to go out. All those who followed him participated in this matter, which meant that more than 70% of the people in the entire court were related to this action.

If we really want to investigate Yuan Shu's lack of political awareness, disrespect for the emperor, and his attempts to win people's hearts, then their family members, and even their sons, will be implicated.

Isn't this the flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple?
Can they agree?
Obviously not.
