Chapter 269 Disaster Relief



As for the children, some of the elderly take care of them, while others are responsible for cooking and boiling water.

Li Yao also mobilized some able-bodied young men from the local area who, although their houses had not collapsed, had suffered minor or moderate losses such as property damage, to form a security team.

While protecting the disaster victims from being bullied and insulted by the people in the city, they also had to supervise the disaster victims to prevent them from cheating or shirking their duties, and were also responsible for patrolling the disaster victim resettlement sites at night.

With sufficient supplies, all of this is easy to achieve. As long as the government officials do not covet supplies and earnestly implement policies, the disaster relief work can be completed in the shortest possible time.

This step was handed over to Li Yao. She gave a mental pep talk to more than 200 officials and yamen runners, instructing them to carry out their work diligently in this disaster relief effort and not to take even a needle or thread from the people.

After the policy was finalized, Li Yao stored 20 tons of rice in the government warehouse and 40,000 sets of winter clothing in another warehouse, all of which she had selected from the supermarket warehouses of the small country she had acquired during the apocalypse. She also stored 40,000 pairs of various snow boots, as well as various medicinal herbs for treating colds and flu.

Although this snow disaster affected many towns, in ancient times the population was small. A city with tens of thousands of people was considered a large city. Therefore, according to the incomplete statistics of the prefecture government, the entire prefecture, including its subordinate counties, villages, and towns, had a large number of people affected by the disaster. After Li Yao took out the supplies, they had to count them and send them to the subordinate counties and towns in batches.

However, Li Yao also took on this task. She delivered the documents to the local county government offices one by one according to the list, explained them to them, and used the same psychological suggestion to get things done.

Meanwhile, many wealthy and prominent families in the prefecture, upon hearing that Princess Chang Le and Prince An had come to provide disaster relief, all wanted to send gifts and money to cultivate relationships.

After discussing it with Prince An, Li Yao, one playing the "good cop" and the other the "bad cop," accepted everything, totaling over a million taels of silver, along with many valuable treasures.

That very evening, she took Prince An back to the palace to divide the spoils with her father, the Emperor, and her elder brother, the Crown Prince. In the end, the treasures went to Li Yao, the silver went to the Emperor and the Crown Prince and went into the national treasury, and Prince An received five thousand taels as a running fee. Everyone was happy.

Of course, to save face as a princess, she still erected a monument and wrote down the names of all the people who gave money. The monument read, "Special thanks to these people for their donations to the disaster victims during this disaster."

Now everyone got what they wanted.

The disaster relief policies were implemented step by step, and in just a month and a half, the disaster victims had moved into temporary resettlement houses with heated brick beds and began to rebuild their homes.

The main cause of this snow disaster was that the heavy snow collapsed houses. Not many people got sick. Li Yao only used the medicinal herbs she took out to brew a few herbal soups to prevent colds and fevers.

After all the disaster victims were properly resettled, Li Yao collected the remaining supplies, and a system notification sounded in her mind: [Names of Rescuers in this Rescue Operation]

Li Yao instantly understood that this was for her to count the number of people. She indicated "read" to 6834 and returned to the princess's residence.

Over the next six years, Li Yao provided supplies and went to areas affected by natural disasters such as droughts, high temperatures, locust plagues, floods, and mudslides, gradually completing the mission of 100,000 people, totaling [number missing].

During the next 50 years of Li Yao's service in Dagan, she was always the first to rush to the front lines of disaster relief whenever there was an emergency. She helped more than a million people.

In the newly built homes of these disaster victims, which Li Yao was unaware of, there were longevity plaques carved by the victims themselves and inscribed with her name, which were worshipped day and night.
