Chapter 519 You are truly the Buddha of all families!
Lin Ze nodded, expressing his approval of Su Hongcai's work.
We cannot use the standards of later generations to judge the disaster relief at this time.
This is not an intentional smear campaign, but judging from the current level, the best way to help disaster victims is not to try to "relieve the disaster."
Since the reform, countless places have suffered from disasters. Sometimes the warlords also provided symbolic disaster relief. Later, the one in the south would often send telegrams ordering certain places to actively provide disaster relief.
and then?
The young and strong were drafted into the army, the young women were sold, and the old were left to die.
Once a group of people die, the disaster will be over.
Looking back, the relief officials had already made a fortune.
Before the incident, the disaster relief officer in the southern system was a top-notch lucrative position, even better than the military supply officer!
Where are you going to make sense?
The wave promoted by Lin Ze this time is certainly not comparable to the saturation disaster relief in later generations, but it meets the three most critical elements.
The first is order. No matter when, losing order is terrible. Don't test human nature at the moment of life and death.
So many patrolmen in Peking have been transferred to the outer cities, but we cannot expect all of them to work as diligently as their brothers in the three outer districts.
Rather, as long as they are there, there will be no chaos in the outer three districts, and if there is no chaos, it means that many people will not die.
Second, it is the most basic food. This kind of food does not need to be hot, clean, or filling.
As long as there is a stutter, it's fine.
As long as you give them something to eat, you will be the great Lord in the eyes of the victims, and you will be a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering!
The third is to prevent the occurrence of plague.
Lin Ze walked around the police station wearing a black raincoat and indeed, he did not see any tragic situation.
Further south, cars could not drive through, so we waded through the water for two streets. Su Hongcai introduced: "Director, there is a high ground ahead. It used to be a charity garden, but now it has been requisitioned by us. Many people have gathered there and are given a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun made of mixed flour every day."
Lin Ze went in to take a look. The so-called Yiyuan was a public cemetery.
The ordinary people in such disaster-stricken environments have strong vitality. Some children are playing under the corridor where they are not exposed to the rain.
There were men setting up sheds in the hospital in the rain. When I looked closely at the wooden boards they were using, I was shocked. They looked like coffin boards!
Su Hongcai was also a little embarrassed, but Lin Ze said, "Okay, take care of the living first and then the dead."
Just as he was about to go out, an "old man" came running over tremblingly with a stick, and knelt down four or five meters away from Lin Ze with a plop.
Niu Saner took half a step forward, and the patrolmen around him drew their guns.
Although he is called an old man, he is probably in his forties or less than fifty years old.
Many people in later generations could not imagine what kind of living conditions the poorest people in the outer city had.
Men also don't have enough to eat all year round. Even if they can eat enough, they will become skin and bones due to lack of nutrition because of the monotony and low quality of the food. There are no fat people, and those who are not as dry as skeletons are considered healthy.
Even so, they had to go out to work every day until their energy and blood were too weak to carry the heavy bags. Then they would pull carts. When they could no longer pull carts, they would go to pick up coal slag with the other children. When they could no longer pick up even coal slag, they would have to beg for food and finally die in some unknown alley.
Women had an even more miserable life. If they were lucky enough and were born somewhat pretty, they would be sold to "kind-hearted" families. After being trained, the best ones would be sold to low-level military officers and officials as mistresses, the middle ones would go to brothels, and the lowest ones would be employed as maids or do groceries.
But if she doesn't even have good looks, then what awaits her will be a life of suffering.
She married an equally poor man at an early age, gave birth to several children, became ill, lost all her hair and teeth before she was thirty, and died in poverty.
Lin Ze looked at the kneeling old man and then at Su Hongcai.
Su Hongcai quickly explained: "Director! There is absolutely no fraud here. Whether it is food or money, not a cent is missing!"
The old man summoned up his courage and said, "Is that Master Lin? I met you once, and everyone said that you saved us this time. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be alive! Master Lin, you will be a noble and lord for generations to come, a noble and lord for generations to come!"
As he said this, he began to kowtow.
Niu Saner wanted to help him up, but he didn't expect that the noise here alarmed more and more people.
There were old and young, men and women. The children watched timidly and were forced to kneel by the adults beside them.
"Master Lin! I kowtow to you!"
"Master Lin! Buddhas come to all families!"
"We all want to thank Master Lin! Woo woo woo!"
Lin Ze was stunned for a long while, then managed to say, "When the water recedes, you will work hard. Whether you are setting up stalls or carrying loads, you must follow the rules!"
After that, he turned around and left.
Without looking anywhere else, he returned to the police station, got in the car, and asked Niu Saner to drive to the front-line headquarters.
No way!
Everyone is on their knees. If we don’t do something, we won’t be able to sleep at night!
The biggest problem now is food.
Lin Ze was rich, but he didn't have that much food. For so many people to eat only one meal of porridge a day would be an astronomical figure.
The car stopped in front of the front headquarters.
The Japanese on guard got anxious! Captain Lin, why are you still following the rules at this time! It's raining so hard, can you still walk in?
While moving the barricades away, he waved his hands desperately, signaling that the car could be driven in.
This time Lin Ze didn't refuse.
After getting off the car, I deliberately didn't open an umbrella, my hair was wet, and I rushed into Naoto Matsuzaki's office.
"Matsuzaki-kun, this is bad, there might be a civil uprising!"
Matsuzaki was taken aback by his sudden words and looked at his embarrassed appearance, "Ah?"
Lin Ze said seriously: "The outer city and the southern suburbs have suffered from floods. These unruly people have nothing to eat, and some of them are making trouble. Our assistance bureau has already killed dozens of them! If this continues, I'm afraid the outer city will be in chaos!"
Naoto Matsuzaki realized the seriousness of the problem and slammed the table, "If not, send troops and kill them all in advance. Even if they die, we will have peace!"
Lin Ze almost pulled out his gun and shot this grandson!
Damn it, this grandson of Matsuzaki can no longer be relieved by lingchi, we have to think of some new means!
Restraining his emotions, Lin Ze said anxiously: "I also thought of taking the initiative, but, alas!"
He leaned close to the desk and whispered, "Ten or eight are fine, dozens or hundreds are fine, but that's tens of thousands of people! Mr. Matsuzaki, if the noise gets out of hand and gets to the general's ears..."
Why did Sugiyama Madoka want to engage in a security war?
Isn’t it just for the so-called national security?
If guns are used to kill people on a large scale this time, it will prove that there is a civil uprising. My goodness, there is a civil uprising in Peking, and it is on a large scale. Where will Sugiyama Madoka put his face?
Lin Ze added, "This is not the key point. The key point is the railway lines in the outer city and the southern suburbs. If those warehouses are attacked..."
Matsuzaki couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up and walked back and forth a few steps.
"Lin Sang, you are always quick-witted, what should we do?"
"Mr. Matsuzaki, I dare not say it. I am afraid that someone will say that I cannot distinguish my position."
"Hey! Between you and me, is there anything that cannot be said? Say it now!"
"I think we should prepare for both situations. On the one hand, we should ask the people we know in the outer city to lead the suppression. On the other hand, we can take out a little bit of food, even if it's just for show, to provide disaster relief. This can calm the emotions of the victims. As long as the rain stops, everything will be easy!"
When Matsuzaki heard this, he thought it was a wise strategy!
Who is familiar with the outer city?
Looking at Lin Ze in front of him, Matsuzaki's eyes lit up.
"Mr. Lin! As the saying goes, one thing should not be handled by two different people. I'm sorry to trouble you to make this trip!"
Lin Ze had a sad face, "Mr. Matsuzaki, this... this is not an easy job..."
Matsuzaki's face turned serious, "Lin-san, you can't be so picky!"
Then he laughed again and blinked, "Don't worry, I will give you a credit. I will report to the general in person. Stopping a civil uprising in time is a great achievement!"
