Chapter 531: Disaster Relief Material Procurement Camp
If you really want to do something, it's really simple.
What the imperial court has not been able to do for a long time, in Liu Xian's hands, it can be done by saying it, without so many twists and turns.
In other words, it is because Liu Xian is not short of money, and he can take out 100 million money.
But what Liu Xian wants to say is that the dignified man, will he really lack the 100 million money to save the people?
Is the treasury in the imperial court really so empty that it can't take out 100 million dollars? If this is really the case, it means that all the money has been greedy by the court.
Xi Zhicai obtained Liu Xian's full discretion to dispose of it.
He immediately dispatched some people to help according to Liu Xian's instructions.
In addition, he renamed the camp of the Liu Mansion caravan outside the city as the Wuyong Marquis Mansion Disaster Relief Material Procurement Camp, which also served as a warehouse.
He wants to make a name for Liu Xian, and he wants the people of the entire Luoyang capital to know that Liu Xian is preparing to save the people of the world.
Here, it is very particular, because Liu Xian wants to provide disaster relief, but for the time being, he has not decided where to help the people. Therefore, Xi Zhicai thinks that this can be completely under the banner of saving the suffering people in the world. In this way, it seems that Liu Xian has some lofty ambitions, which is to help the people of the world.
No matter what the final point is, but first spread this banner out, so that more people know that Liu Xian is here for the sake of the suffering people in the world. When such a thing spreads, when the time comes, who in the world does not know Liu Xian? Who doesn't applaud Liu Xian, the Marquis of Wu Yong? Who doesn't admire and admire?
Xi Zhicai is tantamount to turning the camp of the original Liu Mansion caravan into a relief center for the people of the world. In the future, no matter where Liu Xian wants to help the people, he will start from here first. In this way, it will also attract the attention of the world, making Liu Xian's reputation more widespread.
In addition, changing the name of the caravan camp of Liufu is equivalent to openly appropriating everything here as the Marquis of Wuyong's mansion. The local government and some of the camping materials borrowed from the city army at the beginning, the city defenders were embarrassed to ask for it back in the future, even if they didn't plan to ask Liu Xian to return it.
After all, this has become a place to help the people of the world, and everyone must make way for this place first.
That's the benefit of being in the name of righteousness.
When Xi Zhicai beat someone and embroidered a big banner and erected it, it was quickly seen and knew what was going on, and it was quickly spread in Luoyang. Liu Xian's name, when it had just cooled down, became the name of the heated discussion in the capital again.
The people from all over the world who originally stayed in the camp of Liufu's caravan can also smoothly become Liu Xian's people in the disaster relief world and protect the disaster relief materials at this time.
When procuring disaster relief materials, the first thing is naturally food. Secondly, they also need a variety of daily necessities, such as clothes, bedding, salt, medicine, etc.
In addition, there is a need for some Langzhong doctors as well as some special talents.
Disaster relief does not mean giving food, clothing, and so on to those affected by disasters. If that's all there is to it, it's a palliative not a cure. How much money, food, and clothing can be given to the affected people? The most important thing is to understand the situation and causes of their disasters, and guide those people to start production to save themselves, and to prevent possible disasters in the future. Otherwise, the relief will be completed, and then something will happen.
Therefore, while purchasing materials this time, we must also recruit some talents from the society at the same time.
But because it is under the banner of disaster relief, when recruiting talents, it cannot be hired under the banner of high salaries. But Liu Xian gave Xi Zhicai some advice and recruited volunteers from the society.
Volunteers, in this Han period, are actually a new term, and Xi Zhicai also thought about it for a while before he understood the true meaning of volunteers.
After listening to Liu Xian's suggestion, he applauded the case.
In this way, the procurement camp also played some advertising slogans according to some of Liu Xian's suggestions.
Like what one side is in trouble and all sides are supporting, they are all the descendants of the Chinese Yan and Huang, everyone is collecting firewood and the flame is high, and now they need some talented people to volunteer to help the people, follow the disaster relief team, and go to the disaster area in need to make some contributions to the people, etc......
Anyway, it's just some incendiary words, and in the end, it shows that Dr. Langzhong is needed, what kind of talents are needed, and so on.
However, although he will not be paid much directly, he also makes it clear that as long as he becomes a disaster relief volunteer and acts with the disaster relief team, the food and drink expenses will be provided by the Marquis Wuyong's mansion. Here, it is specifically stated that all the personnel involved in the disaster relief operation will not and cannot use any relief materials, and must ensure that every cent of the relief materials are used for the affected people in need. In this way, it is tantamount to promoting Liu Xian's reputation again, at least, so that the people involved in the disaster relief will have a grateful attitude towards Liu Xian in the future knowing who they have received.
In addition, there is a certain temptation for those volunteers, that is, to explain at the end, so volunteers, if they perform well in the process of disaster relief, will get the opportunity to join the Wuyong Marquis Mansion and work for Liu Xian, or get the opportunity to be recommended by the Wuyong Marquis Liu Xian. In any case, it is a way out, and the harvest in the future will definitely be more abundant, which can be regarded as a rare job.
After the notices were posted, they were crowded the next day. The effect was surprisingly good.
As soon as Liu Xian's mind moved, he decided to personally select some important people.
Because Liu Xian feels that this is actually a time to select some special talents for himself.
On the surface, you can use the excuse to pick people for the disaster relief team, but you can also recruit all kinds of talents for yourself.
Not to mention, in Luoyang now, even people with certain talents may not be able to find a job.
Because now there are more and more people who have come to Luoyang City, and some people who have been displaced to Luoyang, their lives are indeed extremely difficult and hard, and their lives are also difficult to calculate.
In Luoyang, there are not only slums in the city, but also huge camps inhabited by refugees outside the city, it is not very accurate to say that it is a camp, it should be said that some people who wandered to Luoyang, they simply have no ability to find a job in the city, and they can't survive in the city, so they gather in some places outside the city and live a life without a meal. Among them, they are basically ordinary people with their families.
They suffered from the scourge of the Yellow Turbans and came to Luoyang from all over the Han Dynasty. Some came for a long time, and then many people wandered to Luoyang every day.
In fact, as early as the end of 184 and the beginning of 185, the imperial court promulgated some regulations on the control of displaced people who came to Luoyang.
It is said that now the official army of the imperial court has eliminated the bandit leader of the Yellow Turban Army and defeated the Yellow Turban Army. Therefore, all those who came to Luoyang, and those who could not gain a foothold in Luoyang, all had to return to their respective hometowns to make a living. This point, in fact, is similar to the situation of disbanding the rebel army of the world at that time, and the rebel army from all over the world was required to return to their hometowns. It's just that on the bright side, those rebel soldiers, after returning to their hometowns, go to the government to register, and the court will reward them to a certain extent, but ordinary homeless people don't. Of course, in the end, those righteous soldiers are estimated to be very few of them will be rewarded by the imperial court.
It's a pity that these edicts issued by the imperial court are useless for those who have been displaced and finally settled in Luoyang Capital. It was not easy for them to come with their families, and it was even more difficult to go back. Without the help of the imperial court, it is really unlikely that they want to return to their hometown safely. Not to mention eating and drinking all the way, even the safety on the road cannot be guaranteed, and after going back, how can they live and survive?
Staying, maybe there is still a glimmer of life, leaving, that is a dead end.
In this way, as more and more people stay but can't find a job, they have indeed become a serious problem in Luoyang. Every day, people are dying of hunger, sickness and disease.
The court had no choice but to let it go.
In this way, outside Luoyang City, of course, it is not too close to the capital, and it is generally about ten miles away from the capital, and the wandering people spontaneously gather together, forming a homeless settlement.
In each of the homeless settlements, there are hundreds or thousands of small people, and there are also some large settlements with more than 10,000 people.
But at most, it is only more than 10,000, and as for the settlement of tens of thousands of people, the number of such settlements is too large, which will attract the attention of the imperial court, and will send military horses to ask them to leave. After all, with so many people together, it is easy to cause some things that are difficult to be controlled by the imperial court. What if they want to rebel? This has seriously threatened the security of the capital.
In fact, in the last year, there were indeed some cases of homeless settlements being driven away by forbidden troops sent by the imperial court. There are even a few generals in the official army of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, who have killed some homeless people and made meritorious deeds.
The people in the areas where the displaced people lived, they basically rented some fields from the local landlords, planted some grain and vegetables, and sold them in the city, and relied on earning some hard-earned money to support their families. There is also going into the city to find a job, even relying on begging and so on.
However, it is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of wandering people living around the capital of Luoyang, and there are hundreds of large and small homeless settlements.
In such a situation, the imperial court is actually extremely headache. There is absolutely no solution to the problem of these displaced people.
You can't drive it away, you can't kill it. There was no choice but to leave them to fend for themselves.
Now the disaster relief procurement camp is recruiting people, and the news quickly spread to the camps where they are homeless, so that many people are coming.
Liu Xian plans to recruit some talent from it. But there are some problems that come from those places where people live in large numbers.
The situation in the settlement of displaced people is actually very complicated, and basically, in every settlement of displaced people, there will actually be a leader of the displaced people.
These homeless leaders are naturally good and bad. Not to mention the bad, they are using the homeless people to form gangs, and in the end, it is for their interests, so that he can survive better in Luoyang. This kind of person doesn't say.
However, most of the leaders of the displaced people were actually elected by the displaced people, or they acquiesced to their status as a place where the displaced people lived. In this way, these leaders of the displaced people are also equivalent to the representatives of their settlements.
These representatives of the displaced people, they saw the disaster relief banner of the Marquis of Wuyong's Mansion, and they came to Liu Xian in the hope of obtaining relief and assistance from the Marquis of Wuyong's Mansion.
In the face of these people who directly asked Liu Xian for help, Liu Xian naturally couldn't ignore it, otherwise, it would go against the original intention of helping the suffering people in the world.
In fact, Liu Xiandu has not yet decided where to help the people first. They are all suffering people, Liu Xian naturally can't favor one over the other, and he really has to be anxious to meet people's needs and truly help the needy.
In this way, Liu Xian's plan to personally recruit some talents can only be handed over to others to do, and in the original Liufu caravan camp, Liu Xian entertained representatives of the displaced people from the surrounding homeless settlements in Luoyang.
The homeless settlements around Luoyang, who received Liu Xian's action to help the people of the Wuyong Marquis Mansion, did not all the camps take the initiative to seek relief help, or they did not realize that they could ask the Wuyong Marquis Mansion for help. Therefore, the people who came here this time to ask to see Liu Xian were only twenty out of ten.
Liu Xian was in a tent and met with them.
Liu Xian listened to their demands before he spoke to them: "Very good, after listening to what you said, I have a certain understanding of your situation." Let's put it this way, theoretically, I, Liu Xian, do want to provide relief to your homeless settlements. ”
When the representatives of the displaced people heard this, they immediately looked excited, and they got up one after another to bow to Liu Xian, hoping that Liu Xian could give them some help.
Liu Xian waved his hand, asked them to get up and speak, and then said to them: "Fathers, don't get excited. What I mean by Liu Xian is that relief must be relieved, after all, there are not a few displaced people like you who have come to Luoyang with their families and mouths, and if you want to be relieved, you must all be relieved, because I Liu Xian is not a person who favors one over the other. However, in the case of this relief, how to remedy it, and to what extent it will be remedied, these will have to be considered in the long run. ”
"Marquis Wuyong, that's what you mean......"
One of them, an older representative of a homeless settlement in his sixties, asked.
"This uncle, I mean to say that what we should do and what we should consider is a way to get you out of your current difficulties completely, instead of just getting some relief from Ben Hou, because in this case, it will only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. Ben Hou got relief this time, so what about a while? Nor will it solve your current situation of hardship and poverty. Perhaps, there will be a better solution to your problems. ”
Liu Xian said to them without thinking.
