Chapter 211, Youzhou Fengyun (8)

There are more than 600,000 permanent residents in Youzhou, more than 500,000 permanent residents in Jizhou, and the total number of people affected by the disaster in the two places is about 200,000, plus more than 50,000 people who voluntarily belong to the Great Song Dynasty in the grassland, a total of more than 260,000 people, of which 780,000 have been exported to the province, and there are about 180,000 people in the two places of Youji.

In order to ensure the prosperity and stability of the states, the court generally does not allow residents to move out at will, for this reason, after Zhao You arrived in Youzhou, he immediately issued a document to the surrounding areas, so that those who fled to other places can return to their homes as soon as possible, and the court will be the master for them, and everyone will be properly settled.

Now the court has sent people to deal with this matter, the thistle rebellion has been calmed, the people who escaped from the disaster, after seeing the announcement, suddenly gathered together in twos and threes, and began to return to their hometowns, the so-called homeland is difficult to leave, these people in their hometowns, no matter how much, there is still a bit of land and family business, back to their former home, how is it better than drifting outside.

Counting these fleeing victims, there are 260,000 people who need to settle down, most of these people's homes have been destroyed, food and money have been robbed, the court wants to settle these people, first of all, it must solve the problem of housing and food, and let everyone find a job that can make a living (whether it is farming or doing other things, there must always be a living job to do). )

It is not a small project to resettle so many people, but fortunately, it is close to the autumn harvest at this time, and many of the people who have fled are local farmers, their houses have been destroyed, and the things that can be eaten and used at home have been robbed, but most of the crops in the fields are still there. )

Fleeing before was a last resort, but now that the order in the state has been stabilized, they are back, the crops and fields are still their own, and the court only needs to repair the old houses for them, or build some simple grass huts and wooden houses, so that they can temporarily have a place to stay, and then divide a little grain that can be connected to the autumn harvest is almost the same, and the follow-up problems can be solved by themselves.

There are about 100,000 people in this part, and it is easier to settle them, and the remaining 100,000 people, except for more than 50,000 grassland refugees who returned to the Great Song Dynasty from the grassland, and the other part is mostly the residents in Youji City, they are either owners of various large and small shops, or long-term employees in some shops, a small part of these people still have some money in their hands, and most of them have nothing.

It is more difficult to resettle these people, and all the court can do is to rebuild those destroyed shops, who used to belong to those shops, and who still owns them after they are built, but the government is not responsible for the goods inside, you have to find your own way, before the shops are built, these people will all temporarily live in the people's storage center, and the rations will be distributed by the government every day.

As for those who have no house, no land, no shops and no money, the government will arrange for them to settle down in villages and towns under the prefectures, distribute land to them, and help them build wooden sheds and grass huts, and each family will be given half a year's rations, and the seeds can be collected by the government with the newly issued settlement certificate when the spring comes, and they will be returned after the grain is planted.

When Zhao You set off, he brought 200,000 taels of silver tickets (allocated by the court) and countless grains and grass materials, but when he came to Youzhou, he liquidated all the books, except for the consumption of the army, the money and grain in his hand were at least half of the shortfall.

After the account was calculated, Zhao You used the existing materials on hand to settle the victims, and at the same time collected money and grain from the prefectures and counties closer to the thistle, this edict was given to him by Zhenzong himself when he set off, after all, Bianjing is not close to the land of the thistle, if everything must be reported to Bianjing first, and then wait for Bianjing to make arrangements, it will delay a lot of things, for this reason, before departure, Zhenzong gave him an edict to let him act cheaply.

Zhao You, as the prince, came here to revitalize the disaster, in order to build momentum for his own position to make political achievements, since there can be no greed for ink, he himself abides by his responsibilities, vigorous and resolute, and the accompanying officials under his command naturally do not dare to stretch out their hands, there is the prince Qin sent to personally supervise the formation, and no one in the local officials dares to have that dirty heart, the beginning of more than half a month, the disaster is carried out very smoothly.

Half a month later, this good momentum began to be blocked, without it, the instructions to other states and counties to collect money and grain were not smooth, other states and counties received Zhao You's past documents, one by one, pushing back and blocking, looking for all kinds of excuses to cry poor, in a word, that is, there is no money and no food, human greed is innate, and the affairs of the secluded thistle have nothing to do with them, although Zhao You is the prince, these magistrates are not willing to take out the silver in their pockets to contribute to his political achievements.

Can't collect money and food, the disaster relief work in the two places will be stagnant, many things that are halfway are very likely to give up halfway, Zhao You received these reports after the news, furious, September 12, Zhao You in his own Qin mission in the thunder, he angrily to Li Sanlang ordered: "Li Sanlang, you go to gather the Qin Guards, follow me to Texas in the afternoon." ”

"Zhang Shilang, please go to the Marshal's Mansion and ask Marshal Yang to lend me a thousand elite soldiers, and I will take them to Texas to collect grain in the afternoon." After dividing Li Sanlang, Zhao You's eyes turned to Zhang Xun again.

Zhang Xun was worried that Zhao You would offend many people with such a toss, so he wanted to dissuade him, but then thought about it, the current emperor's eldest son is not yet the time to buy people's hearts, what he should do at this time is to deal with the affairs of the two places as soon as possible, and his thoughts fell here, and he swallowed back the words that slipped to his mouth, and quickly turned around to find Yang Yanzhao to borrow troops.

Zhao You's targets for collecting money and grain were Dezhou and Jinan Mansion, these two places are close to the thistle, and the other is relatively rich, from these two state cities to allocate more than 100,000 taels of grain, 200,000 taels of silver, and divide them, a state is only 100,000 taels of silver, 70,000 or 80,000 loads of grain, and it is not difficult for them.

Li Sanlang is Zhao You's captain of the Qin Guard, his duty is to protect Zhao You's safety, after listening to Zhao You's instructions, he went out and asked the deputy captain to summon the Qin Guard, and he himself went to find Xiao Nan, Zhao You wanted to go to someone else's territory to forcibly collect money and food, a bad one, it was possible to provoke those local snakes to be annoyed and embarrassed to secretly commit a black hand, he was worried that he couldn't protect Zhao You's safety alone, so he went to Xiao Nan with a lazy face, hoping that she could go to Texas with him, Xiao Nan's kung fu was much better than Li Sanlang, and she was with him, Li Sanlang can have peace of mind.

Xiao Nan did not refuse Li Sanlang's invitation, Zhao You's style of acting for a while, she looked at it in her eyes, and she still quite agreed, although Zhao You acted so vigorously in the two states of Youji, mainly for his own political achievements, but in the end it was the people who benefited, it is normal for people to be selfish, if you can do your own job well while satisfying your own selfishness, this person is a good person.
