Zhang Zhiyuan was very appreciative of Qiao Hui's serious and responsible attitude. If Nanyang County had a few more leaders like him, there would be no need to worry about the development. His gaze turned to the mayor of Wujiu Town, Zhou Sihai. "Sihai, you speak."
Wujiu Town was the richest town in the county. The living standards of the villagers were naturally different. Especially in the past two years, every family had demolished their old houses and built new ones. The level of village construction was in the forefront of the county. He said, "When it started to snow, I asked all the cadres of Bao Village to stay in the village. They are not allowed to leave their posts without permission. So far, according to the data I have, none of the houses have collapsed, and there have been no casualties. "
"Good!" Zhang Zhiyuan still trusted Zhou Sihai. He said, "When we go back later, hurry up and investigate and report in time. Wu Hexuan, you also speak. "
Guyang Village was also a poor and backward town. But because of its remote location, many families had moved out early. Therefore, the population of the town was sparse, and there were more vacant houses. He said, "The collapsed houses in Guyang Village have not been counted yet. There are no casualties for the time being."
"Yes." Zhang Zhiyuan recorded it in his notebook. He looked up to look for Li Jianwei, the mayor of Guiyu Village, but he did not find him. Not a single person from the town that he was most worried about had come. He patiently listened to the reports from the other towns and said, "Comrades, now that everyone understands the situation, I won't beat around the bush. I'm sure you all know what's more important. Next, I will divide the work. Yan Dongsen, Pei Qifeng, and I will be in charge of Guiyu Village. County Yang, Gao Bowen, and Xu Qingshan will be in charge of Tongyang Village … "
Zhang Zhiyuan originally let Pei Qifeng be in charge of Guyang Village. But on second thought, if he took charge of this matter, what would Yang Derong do? No way! He had to put the burden on him, which was the result of the division of work.
Next, Zhang Zhiyuan began to divide the responsibilities of the functional departments. "Civil Affairs Bureau, Materials Bureau, do a good job in the allocation of materials. Tents, coats, quilts, food, daily necessities, etc. must be prepared. The Finance Bureau will immediately allocate special funds. The Health Bureau will be responsible for the allocation of all the major hospitals and health centers in the county. All doctors and nurses will be on standby, and several teams will be organized to the front line. The Transportation Bureau will be responsible for clearing the road. No matter what, all the roads into the village must be cleared of snow. The Telecommunications Department will urgently repair the lines. The Public Security Bureau will be responsible for the deployment of the county police officers. Half of the police will be sent to Guiyu Village.
The Armed Police detachment will cooperate with County Yang. The County party committee office, and the Government Office, and the Government Offices Administration to do. " Before leaving, Zhang Zhiyuan didn't forget to ask Xiao Yang, "Have you found Lu Yiwei?"
After burying the woman, Lu Yiwei returned to school with a heavy heart. He thought the school would be very big, but there were only five bungalows. The room was full of people. The husband of the woman still couldn't accept the reality. He squatted in the corner and cried. The others didn't speak. Some were sitting or lying down. They were like frightened birds, looking out of the window in panic, waiting for dawn.
There was no stove in the classroom, and some of the windows were broken. The strong wind made the windows squeak. The villagers huddled together and shivered. Lu Yiwei didn't trust the quality of the classroom. He went out and checked every room one by one. Then he went back to the classroom.
After Lu Yiwei came in, he comforted the frightened villagers and lied, "Don't panic. The county will come to rescue soon. You must believe in the party and the government. No one will be left behind."
The moment Lu Yiwei said that, some of the women started to cry. Soon, like a contagious disease, the elderly and children started to cry. A woman was carrying a child who was less than a year old. The child waved his little hands and kicked his feet. His crying sounded like his vocal cords were torn. Two streams of tears flowed down his red face. It was a scene of despair.
"Comrade Leader, there's nothing left in my house. How can I live like this? Please save me, I beg you …" An old woman threw herself at Lu Yiwei's feet, hugged his legs tightly, and cried bitterly.
Lu Yiwei was full of worry. He helped the old woman up and comforted her, "Auntie, stand up. The ground is cold. I just said that the government will help everyone. It's okay if the house collapses, as long as the people are fine. "
At this time, the village chief came in and roared, "What are you crying for? With the leader here, what are we afraid of? From another point of view, it's a good thing that the house collapses. It's decades old. Next year, the whole village will mobilize to build new houses. When the time comes, we won't be afraid. "
"Yes, what the village chief said makes sense." Lu Yiwei hurriedly echoed, "Chairman Mao has already said that fighting against the heavens is endless joy, and fighting against people is endless joy. Natural disasters and natural disasters are not scary. As long as everyone is united, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome."
Lu Yiwei wanted to cheer for the villagers, but an old man poured a bucket of cold water on him. "It's easy for you to say that. Where's the money? Building a house doesn't need money. I don't have a single cent. How do you expect me to build one? "
The village chief immediately replied, "What's the rush? The leader said that the government won't ignore it. If we have any problems, we can look for him. Even if we can't find him, we still have Nizi."
"Yes!" Lu Yiwei said firmly, "As long as we get through this, everyone can look for me at any time. Since I promised you, I won't sit back and do nothing. Don't worry."
With Lu Yiwei's words, the villagers calmed down a little, and their crying gradually became softer. It was already two in the morning. It was still snowing heavily outside the window. Lu Yiwei stood in front of the window, unable to calm down. Did the county know that such a big disaster had happened? Would they come to rescue? If they didn't, what should he do? If he couldn't deliver the news, was he just going to wait for death?
He regretted the rash decision he made this afternoon. It was snowing heavily. If Shi Xiaoman's father went out to deliver the news, what if something happened and another life was lost? How was he going to explain it to Shi Xiaoman? But there was no medicine for regret. He could only pray that Father Shi was safe.
Father Shi's situation was indeed worse. He was blocked by the blizzard halfway. The only path to the township government was blocked, and there was no way to go around it. They had no choice but to turn back. But the weather was too bad and they accidentally fell into a ditch. Luckily, someone followed them and saved their lives. Fortunately, Father Shi only suffered some superficial injuries. He chose to rest in a nearby village and return home after daybreak.
At this moment, Zhang Zhiyuan and his team were sitting in the Guiyu Township government conference room, smoking and waiting anxiously for the rescue situation. The head of the Transportation Bureau, Sun Changqing, reported every half an hour, but the situation wasn't optimistic. Because the road was too narrow, large machinery couldn't go up at all. They could only rely on manpower to clear the snow. But the weather was extremely cold, and the workers couldn't stand it. The progress was very slow.
Nothing could be discussed if the road was blocked. Zhang Zhiyuan was burning with anxiety. He ordered the head of the Public Security Bureau, Luo Zhiqing, to transfer another batch of police over and personally supervise. They had to clear the road before daybreak and go deep into the disaster area.
Guiyu Township's mayor, Li Jianwei, still hadn't returned. The party secretary had been vacant, and the deputy secretary, Miao Yufei, was temporarily in charge. Miao Yufei had been working in Guiyu Township for more than thirty years. He was a typical old man. His work ability was average, and he didn't have a strong relationship. He relied on his experience to become the deputy secretary and waited for his retirement.
As an old township, he knew the situation in Guiyu Township like the back of his hand. It could be said that he had walked on every inch of land in the township, and even knew the number of people in each village. He reported the situation of each village without missing anything, and specially pointed out the six villages in Tiger Mountain Valley that were relatively dangerous. Zhang Zhiyuan listened to him and adjusted the work plan, focusing on digging in Tiger Mountain Valley.
The County party committee secretary had arrived. Miao Yufei tried his best to perform, hoping to win a good omen in front of Zhang Zhiyuan. After all, the position of the party secretary was empty, and it was worth fighting for. But he didn't expect good luck to come to him in a flash.
Zhang Zhiyuan said very seriously, "Miao Yufei, if you can enter Tiger Mountain Valley before daybreak and report the situation in time, I'll make an exception and appoint you as the party secretary of Guiyu Township."
Happiness came so suddenly that Miao Yufei couldn't believe it was real. He pinched his thigh hard, and after feeling the pain, he realized that it wasn't a dream. He promised happily, "Please rest assured, Secretary Zhang. I'll organize a small team now and take a shortcut into Tiger Mountain Valley. I promise to find out the situation before daybreak."
"Okay, be careful!"
After Miao Yufei left, Zhang Zhiyuan was worried and called Yang Derong to ask about the situation in Tongyang Township.
The situation in Tongyang Township wasn't optimistic either, but Guiyu Township's innate conditions were much better. Coupled with the strong combat power of the armed police detachment, they had already entered the village that was relatively affected by the disaster. It was estimated that in another two hours, they would enter the most seriously affected village. On the contrary, the public security police here had always been pampered and had never experienced such a big situation. All of them were timid and unwilling to do anything.
At this time, the director of the Finance Bureau, Xiao Zhixiong, came in to report. "Secretary Zhang, the first batch of supplies has been allocated. Our comrades from the Materials Bureau have purchased 2000 tents and some cotton-padded clothes and quilts. They should be back before daybreak."
Zhang Zhiyuan asked curiously, "Don't you usually have these things in reserve?"
Xiao Zhixiong said, "We usually have, but the quantity is small. Moreover, the tents have been weathered and can't be used at all. And the cotton-padded clothes and quilts are also eaten by insects … "
These things were strategic materials, and according to the relevant work plan, they must be stored in a certain amount and managed scientifically. However, natural disasters rarely happened in Nanyang County, so everyone took it lightly.
