The crowd quietly quieted again.

In fact, these workers also knew that Zhao Dongting's words were reasonable.

It is useless for them to force the county magistrate.

The county magistrate is not a god, how can he save them all?

I was just worried and anxious in my heart. So I did this just now.

They were really indifferent at this time.

At this time, Zhao Dongting's tone became softer and said, "Everyone should believe that no matter how many workers can be rescued in the end, the officials of the county, the soldiers of the defenders and the yamen runners will do their best. If such a big landslide occurs at the mine, the rescue work will not be completed in one or two days. If you stay here, it is better to go home first to prepare and call on the villagers to come and help our defenders to rescue them, okay?"

The crowd was talking again.

Then someone shouted, "This young master is right. There are too few soldiers in the defenders. We should go home soon and ask someone to help."

Amid the shouts, someone hurried away.

Some of them live in a mountain village not too far away.

The scene was no longer so noisy.

The county magistrate gently wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Zhao Dongting with gratitude.

Zhao Dongting also spoke relaxed and even said to the county magistrate in a low voice: "Now, please let someone go back to the city immediately and mobilize all the people in the city. In addition, invite all the doctors in the city and bring all the medicines. The food and grass must also be transported here. You must prepare for a long-term search and rescue of all the staff here! No matter how many people can be saved in the end, the government office must not give up easily! The food and grass can be transported slowly, but you must show your attitude now. Do you understand what I said?"

"I understand, understand!"

The county magistrate nodded quickly and ordered the director of the Social Security Bureau next to him to go back to the city in person. Then he couldn't help but feel confused.

Zhao Dongting is so anxious and wise and calm, and is far beyond his comparison.

Which young master from the family can have such insight?

As long as the government does its best, even if the final search and rescue work is not satisfactory, the people will not be too angry with the government.

Although this still cannot be restored to the workers buried in the mountains, it can prevent things from getting worse.

If the people really make a big fuss about this matter, the impact may be even more serious than this landslide.

"He Zhuanzhu!"

After thinking about it, the county magistrate hurriedly said to the chief clerk: "You should go into the city quickly and bring all the deposits in the treasury."

He looked at the mountain, "When you bring back the bodies of workers from the mountain, you will immediately pay your family's pensions... and pay them mainly in the name of burial expenses. Don't be stingy. Even if you use up all the deposits in the treasury, you must not let the people feel dissatisfied with our government, do you know?"

The chief clerk had a serious face and rushed to the city with a few people.

At this time, Jun Tianfang and others had already reached the top of the mountain.

Then a master flew down the mountain with a man in his hand.

Not all of the thousands of workers were buried in the mine cave, and there were obviously many survivors.

Even their slight noise actually caused a small collapse on the mountain again.

The crowd screamed in surprise.

Zhao Dongting couldn't help frowning again.

Such a landslide occurred in the mine, which seemed to be an accident, but in fact it was because of many omissions in mining methods.

After all, this era is far from comparable to later generations.

And even in later generations, aren’t there often landslides and other events?

If the mining method is not improved, there will probably be no such things in the future.

Although this cannot shake the foundation of the Song Dynasty, it is not a good thing after all. It can only cost hundreds or thousands of lives, so how can people not feel distressed?

Zhao Dongting couldn't help but think deeply.

As experts brought the surviving workers down the mountain, the crowd that had not left became noisy again.

Some people burst into tears, while others were even more worried.

Jun Tianfang and others all looked solemn.

After going down the mountain, Jun Tian let him go to Zhao Dongting and whispered: "Young Master, the situation above is not optimistic..."

Zhao Dongting looked at him.

Jun Tianfang said again: "There are many collapsed places, and many people... are buried below and cannot survive..."

Zhao Dongting sighed heavily, "It's as much as you can save..."

He then looked at the county magistrate and said, "Let the defenders clear the mountain road. But remember not to be impatient, safety is the best."

"The lower official obeys the order."

The county magistrate was quite impressed by Zhao Dongting at this time, so he quickly agreed and went down to make arrangements.

Hundreds of defenders requisitioned many hoes, car baskets and other items on the scene and headed towards the mountain road.

The people looked at them with anticipation.

Until now, they can rely on these defenders.

Some people wanted to go up to help, but were stopped by the yamen runners.

The county magistrate shouted: "You are kind to help me, and I thank you here. But the situation on the mountain is not yet determined, so don't risk your life."

His words made many people look grateful.

Those who were originally worried and even anxious and impulsive were gradually lost.

No one wants such a thing to happen. Now it seems that the government is indeed doing its best.

The soldiers all risked their lives to go up the mountain to search and rescue. What else can they say?

Who was not raised by his father and mother? Who was not a flesh and blood body?

Time passes slowly.

The defenders on the mountain road were already clearing the mountain road, but the progress was extremely slow.

Zhao Dongting sighed in his heart when he saw this scene.

It is really difficult to simply use manpower to carry out such a large rescue.

Although all the soldiers of the defenders were sweating profusely, how could they keep up with the speed of excavators in later generations by simply digging with hoes?

I really have to wait until they completely clear the mountain path, but I don’t know when I will go.

At this time, Zhao Dongting no longer felt too lucky. He knew that it was inevitable that many workers would be buried in the mountains forever.

Even when he first arrived here, Zhao Dongting had this conclusion in his mind. Otherwise, the subsequent response would not be to relieve the people.

At this time, the one who can go to the mountain to save people is Jun Tianhang.

But they only have dozens of people after all. No matter how powerful they are, how many people can they save?

It has been more than an hour since the rescue work has not made much progress.

Jun Tianfang only saved more than a hundred surviving workers, and most of them were still trapped on it.

Jun Tianfang and others had already told Zhao Dongting about the above situation.

Many workers are no longer alive.

The director of Cenxi Social Security Bureau finally brought hundreds of soldiers and many yamen runners.

This is probably to transfer all the defenders in Cenxi County.

After leading the crowd, he hurriedly joined the ranks of unblocking the mountain roads.

This process is also dangerous.

There were two landslides, and two guards even damaged.

Afterwards, the chief clerk also arrived with dozens of people, all of whom were minor officials, servants, etc. More than ten carriages, and several large wooden boxes were tied to each of them.

Behind them are many people.

These were all temporary calls from the chief clerk and other officials, mostly the coolies in the city. They helped transport the grain in the grain warehouse.

The crowd was surging.

I don’t know how many people gather here in Cenxi County.

At this time, the incident of the landslide of the coal mine was obviously spreading.

And Coal Mountain finally stabilized.

After careful observation, Zhao Dongting and others saw that there was no sign of landslide again, so they asked the yamen runners to let the people go up.

Some brave people joined the ranks of defenders with hoes and other items.

Although the manpower seems a little thin at this moment, the scene is quite touching.

Officials and people work together.

The county magistrate and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The county magistrate had nothing to do before. He returned to Zhao Dongting sweating profusely, bowed deeply to Zhao Dongting and said, "Thank you, thank you, my dear..."

If Zhao Dongting hadn't given him advice and helped him to appease the people, the scene would probably not be like this now.

Zhao Dongting looked at him with a look of praise in his eyes.

The county magistrate is about forty years old, with short beards and gentle looks, but he is a bit brave.

He had been risking his life on the mountain road for himself to direct the soldiers to clear the mountain road. Zhao Dongting saw these two times that he was almost buried here.
Chapter completed!
