(Weekend shift)

"What should I do?"

The homeless people organized thousands of strong people to build a river embankment in the north of Taohuawu, and it seemed that they wanted to live in the shallows in the north for a long time, and Zhou Jun also felt helpless and looked at Chen Hai. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

With the instruction of Ge Xuanqiao and Chen Xuanzhen, Chen Hai has almost passed the selection and entered the school palace to practice.

Chen Lie was only the deputy envoy of Jinlu, temporarily staying in Yanjing with Ge Xuanqiao to deal with the military envoy of Hexiang and the officials of the Taiwei Mansion, once the two sides negotiated the terms of peace, they would return to Hexi, so how to deal with the relationship between Taohuawu and the displaced people in the north was fundamentally up to Chen Hai to make an idea.

Can't drive away, can't fight, and the local government and county don't care, the displaced people not only have a tendency to gather more and more, but also occupy the grassy beach and shallow area north of Taohuawu for a long time, which is really tricky!

Wu Meng, Ge Tong, and Zhou Jingyuan all felt helpless.

"Ding Shuang, what do you think we should do?" Chen Hai saw Ding Shuang's indifferent expression, guessing that he should have some way to ask, so he asked directly.

"If they can really reclaim this grassy beach in the north and settle down in peace, what is there to worry about when we get along with this neighbor?" Ding Shuang asked with a smile.

Hearing Ding Shuang say this, Zhou Jingyuan and Zhou Jun suddenly realized that they were the ones who drilled the horns, thinking about it, they had been secretly guarding against the fact that these homeless people would breed right and wrong, and they had been secretly trying to drive them away, but they never thought that these homeless people really wanted to use this grassy beach in the north to settle down, even if the Red Eyebrow Cult secretly instigated it, how many outlaws would follow and make trouble?

Even if Chen Hai didn't care so much about the fate of the people of Yanzhou, he didn't have the arrogant mentality of being on top and didn't regard the displaced people as ants.

Although reality does not allow him to appease these displaced people, otherwise he will be regarded as having ulterior motives by those civil and military ministers in Yanjing, but he can't do nothing.

Chen Hai thought for a while, and also felt that Ding Shuang's strategy was the best policy, and said to Zhou Jingyuan: "Seeing that their conditions are also poor, you prepare a batch of farm tools and grain seeds, and send them with me tomorrow." Even if they really want to cause trouble in the future, it's good to have a good relationship at this time!"

The displaced people really want to cause a large-scale rebellion in the county capital near Gyeonggi, and as a guest army, they have no obligation to assist the local government in the war and suppression, and they will be able to get out of the situation in the future.

"It's okay to touch it, we have no right to stop them from reclaiming the river beach in the north, but we can't let them occupy the horse farm in Taohuawu. Zhou Jingyuan said.

Taohuawu Grange is only 300 acres, only about four or five hundred steps square, and the surrounding grass beach is their natural horse farm and training ground.

If it weren't for the homeless people who took action first, Zhou Jingyuan, who was good at economy and people's livelihood, planned to organize a group of people to surround the embankment after the spring and circle a grass beach as a horse farm in Taohuawu.

In this way, they can continuously transport Hexi good horses into the horse farm in Taohuawu, and then sell them in Yanjing City to make heavy profits.

Zhou Jingyuan felt that at this time, it was necessary to clarify the boundaries of the racecourse with the displaced people in the north, so as to save the future from breeding right and wrong.

****************************

The next day, Zhou Jingyuan prepared 200 bags of grain, 100 bags of grain seeds, and thousands of farm tools, loaded them into a cart, put on mules and horses, passed through the overgrown mudflats, and followed Chen Hai into the camp of the displaced people on the river beach north of Taohuawu.

In addition to the dozens of royal carriage grooms, Chen Hai also asked Wu Meng, Zhou Jingyuan, and Ding Shuang to follow him to visit the leader of the homeless people.

The camp of the displaced people on the side of the river beach is facing the vast water area of nearly ten miles wide in this section of the Qiuye River, the terrain is relatively high, but it is still much lower than Taohuawu, according to the amount of rain in a normal year, it will be flooded in late spring, not to mention that there may be heavy rain in the upper reaches of the Qiuye River that lasts for several days or even more than ten days.

The displaced people also realized this, so they organized people to build a levee on the east side of the campsite, hoping to block the river to the east of the camp, and at the same time, the grass beach west of the camp could be used to cultivate and grow some grain.

The homeless people dressed in blue and green were full of vigilance against Chen Hai, but Chen Hai came this time with the tools, grains and a batch of grain that they urgently needed, and the homeless people would not turn Chen Hai away.

Chen Hai was ushered into a grass hut.

Previously, Zhou Jingyuan inquired about some news, and only knew that the Liumin was from Lelin Mansion in the northern suburbs of Gyeonggi, and the leader Cao Feng was also from Lelin Mansion, probably in his forties, burly and dark-faced.

When Chen Hai bowed his head and walked into the grass shed, Cao Fengcai, who was sitting behind the long case made of rough wood, stood up to greet him, and he held an unsheathed iron sword with a straw rope tied around his waist:

"Cao Feng has cold legs, he will have attacks every cold season, he is inconvenient, he can't meet Captain Chen from afar, please see the sin!"

Cao Feng is not like a sect cultivator with a foundation of cultivation, but he is full of energy, and his voice is strong and powerful.

The thick and sturdy bones, the cocoons with the smoothed palms and the sharp eyes all show that Cao Feng often holds swords and soldiers, and his superb skills and striking skills should be a character such as a country hero ranger who is extremely prestigious in the countryside, so that he can be elected as the leader by the displaced people gathered here.

In the small grass hut, there were more than a dozen Jianyong wearing crude leather armor, or knives or swords tied to their waists, all staring at Chen Hai vigilantly, and even wanted to deliberately show their martial bravery.

Chen Hai just smiled in his heart, he could have sent troops to raid here and take down these dozen people, and let tens of thousands of homeless people scatter without a leader, but if there were no more than a dozen people to take the lead in doing something, the livelihood of tens of thousands of homeless people outside would be doubly difficult, and I don't know how many people would starve to death in the spring famine.

Although Chen Hai has no feelings for the people of Yanzhou, he doesn't want his hands to be stained with the blood of these homeless people, and listening to Cao Feng's name for him, Chen Hai knows that these homeless people have explored the bottom of Taohuawu, and he thinks that it is okay to do so, and he can save some trouble in the future.

"Cao Dangjia is polite, our two families live next to each other, and they didn't come to visit until today, it is Chen Hai's rudeness. Chen Hai politely replied, sitting behind the long case made of miscellaneous wood, looking at the rough board and the wooden thorns piercing the hands, it can be seen that these homeless people have gathered for nearly a month, and the conditions are really difficult.

Chen Hai didn't test anything with Cao Feng, and after presenting the gift list he brought this time, he directly clarified the meaning:

"It is a good thing that Cao Dangjia led everyone to build a dam on the north side of Taohuawu to block the river water, and it can also alleviate the spring and summer floods in Taohuawu and the horse farm. ”

"Horse farm?" Cao Feng and the others were also smart, and immediately heard the overtones in Chen Hai's words, and looked at them vigilantly, not knowing what Chen Hai's intentions were when he walked into the camp of the homeless people this time.

In addition to building a foundry, casting high-grade armor with Hexi craftsmen, selling it in Yanjing City, opening a dart shop, and training dart masters, we will also transport Hexi good horses into Gyeonggi for sale. Chen Hai said.

Chen Hai was not greedy, and he demarcated the scope with Cao Feng and other homeless leaders on the spot.

There is a three-mile-long road between Taohuawu and Meiwu Fort, which can be said to be a barrage embankment that has been built.

After Chen Haichun, he wanted to make use of the grass beach between Meiwu Fort and Taohuawu, and at the same time let the 20,000 or 30,000 mu of grass beach west of Taohuawu be empty for backup, and the displaced people could only reclaim the grass and shallows north of Taohuawu, and could not stretch their hands to the south and west of Taohuawu, let alone build a village between Taohuawu and Meiwubao.

After the beginning of spring, Chen Hai also wanted to build a strong dock fort in Taohuawu.

Even if the 200 soldiers stayed in Taohuawu, it was extremely taboo to provide relief and appease the displaced people near Gyeonggi as a guest army. In particular, Emperor Yitian and Prince Yingdan were still arguing at this time, and they both intended to suppress the local government to come forward to compensate the victims, and Chen Hai could not even directly hire a large number of displaced people to work in Taohuawu.

Whether it is to build a dock fort or to strengthen the dam between Meiwu Fort and Taohuawu, a large amount of stone and wood will be required, and a large amount of charcoal will be needed to smelt iron in the future.

Taohuawu can take grain, buy stones and wood from the homeless, Chen Hai believes that he can barely help them survive the spring famine, this is Ding Shuang's strategy, as long as tens of thousands of homeless people can really settle down north of Taohuawu, they will no longer become a hidden danger in Taohuawu.

Chen Hai forbade them to enter the west and south grass beaches of Taohuawu, which was to make Cao Feng and others unhappy, and at the same time to meet the stone and wood needed by Taohuawu, the displaced people only had 10,000 strong at this time, so they needed to divide half of the people to mine stone and wood and transport them to Taohuawu, but only in this way could Cao Feng and others get enough food from Taohuawu to survive the spring famine, and it was also possible to obtain the corresponding materials to cause the river embankment before the spring tide.

Chen Hai did not ask Cao Feng and other leaders of the displaced people to respond to him immediately, so he left 200 bags of grain, hundreds of bags of grain seeds, thousands of farm tools, and 20 ordinary mules, horses and carts in the dormitory of the displaced people, hoping to help them.

The next day, Cao Shuang personally rushed to Taohuawu, agreed to Chen Hai's conditions, and couldn't wait to send someone to Shiling, twenty miles away, to mine stones and send them to Taohuawu.

The hidden danger of the displaced people has been temporarily alleviated, Zhou Jingyuan and Ding Shuang have been running around for more than ten days, and they have also found a house suitable for opening a soldier armor shop and a dart shop in Tieqiao Lane in Xicheng, and Chen Hai needs to confirm it, and Chen Lie and Su Yuan are already completely unable to get out.

The house selected by Zhou Jingyuan and Ding Shuang has three courtyards before and after, plus the cross-courtyard on both sides, and there are more than 30 rooms. The courtyard is adjacent to Tieqiao Lane in the north, and the courtyard wall can open the door opening and open a soldier armor shop, and after the courtyard wall of Hongwu Street in South Street is opened, it can be used as the door face of the pharmacist garden......

In this way, you only need to arrange a team of elites to be stationed in the courtyard to take care of both sides.

Chen Hai believed in the ability of Zhou Jingyuan and Ding Shuang in this regard, and went to the courtyard near Tieqiao Lane to the north to take a look, and he was quite satisfied. If he stays in Yanjing City to practice in the future, he can also live in, after all, Taohuawu has to travel nearly 200 miles by horse to get out of Xicheng.
