Chapter 202: Resettlement of Refugees
Originally, according to Yang Yun's plan, he could take advantage of the drought in Chu to bring 30,000 to 50,000 victims to his fiefdom to develop.
But when he went to the city, he couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp, and under the city of Xunyang Pass, there were at least more than 100,000 people standing and sitting, and there were at least more than 100,000 people, which was far beyond his original plan.
After discussing with Ju Yuanguang and Qiu Ze, Yang Yun finally made up his mind to lead these victims to his fiefdom.
"Your Highness! The last general also knows that you are a compassionate person, but you must know that it is easy to welcome these victims into the customs, but it is extremely difficult to send them away, and you are sure that your fiefdom will accept these people? The general in charge of the guards of Xunyang Pass said with a frown.
The Xunyang guard will be called Kangcheng, he is a very stubborn person, and those big people in the court come here, and he usually doesn't give a good look.
But this time it was Yang Yun who came, and his attitude was very friendly. Because of Yang Yun's heroic feat of defending the city in Fufeng City back then, Kangcheng, who has been in the army for many years, is very admired.
"General Kang, although the victims of this Chu country are not the people of Dafu, but seeing these living lives starving to death in front of our eyes, this king really can't bear it, let them come in, this king and the people of the fiefdom tighten their belts together and tide over the difficulties with them." Yang Yun said sincerely.
"Oh well! The last general will be the master once and let them in. Seriously, standing on the gate every day, watching these people of Chu starve to death one by one, I don't have a taste in my heart. "Cannes is also a straightforward guy and made decisions quickly.
After discussing with Kangcheng, Yang Yun decided to open the gate for three consecutive days from the next day and let these victims from the Chu State enter Xunyang Pass.
The number of nearly 100,000 victims far exceeded Yang Yun's expectations, but now they have to accept them head-on.
After returning from Kangcheng, Yang Yun immediately arranged for people to temporarily dig up a lot of earthen stoves behind Xunyang Pass, preparing to cook some porridge for these victims in advance, so that they could save their lives first.
Early the next morning, these victims of the Chu State, who had already given up hope, were pleasantly surprised to find that the gate of Xunyang Pass, which had been tightly closed, was greatly opened today.
The ecstatic victims immediately helped the old and the young, and rushed to Xunyang Pass. Because there were so many victims outside the gate, they all wanted to enter the gate as soon as possible, so after a while, they were all crowded at the gate.
Kang Cheng led his soldiers to maintain order at the gate, and when he saw that these victims were unwilling to obey the command, they only knew how to squeeze in desperately, and he suddenly became angry.
Kang Cheng gave an order, and his soldiers picked up the leather whips in their hands and beat the fiercest people to a good beating, and immediately beat them until their skin and flesh were blurred, which made these victims honest and obey the arrangements of the guards in a proper manner.
After the soldiers at the gate made arrangements, these victims came to the porridge shacks in an orderly manner, each received a bowl of gruel, and devoured it.
On the first day of the switch alone, 60,000 or 70,000 victims were flooded from outside Xunyang Pass. When he came to Xunyang Pass this time, Yang Yun had already prepared, bringing a lot of grain and grass, and also bringing more than 5,000 people from fiefdoms.
Despite the preparations, there were so many people who had entered the disaster that everyone had been busy for the day, and by the time the evening was finally over, everyone was exhausted.
When the gate was opened the next day, another 40,000 or 50,000 people had flocked in from outside the gate. They were too busy to do so, so they found some women from among the victims
Join the porridge cooking team.
On the third day, when the gate was opened, there were far fewer victims entering from outside the gate, and looking at the sparse people who entered, Yang Yun and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Yun didn't take it easy for long, and his brows furrowed again. Because, in the afternoon, there were more people entering the customs.
It turned out that the victims in some nearby places heard that Juyangguan could release people to Dafu, so they hurried from all over the country.
Seeing that so many victims had flocked to Xunyang Pass, Yang Yun couldn't help but secretly complain. But the victims have been told that it will be closed for three days.
Yang Yun didn't want to leave an untrustworthy handle for these people of Chu who he wanted to subdue, so they continued to let these disaster victims enter the customs.
If you have the opportunity to enter Dafu, it is possible to escape the fate of starvation, so these refugees who received the news hurriedly came to Xunyang Pass.
So, before the guards closed the gate, many refugees came, and seeing through these swarming refugees, Yang Yun had to ask people to quickly prepare food for them.
"Your Highness, the number of refugees this time has been fully counted, a total of 144,852 people." Early the next morning, Kangcheng came to find Yang Yun and gave Yang Yun the data he had sorted out.
"Your Highness, whatever the purpose of your operation, I have to thank you. Because you saved the lives of these 140,000 people, Lao Kang, I am a rough man, I won't say anything else, I let the brothers save a little food from between their teeth. Although it's not much, it can be regarded as a little bit of my old Kang's heart! ”
Kangcheng said, waving his hand. A team of soldiers guarding the pass, pushing carts of grain, delivered cartloads of grain to Yang Yun's men.
When Yang Yun came to Yangguan this time, he brought a total of more than 20,000 people, including 15,000 soldiers from fiefdoms, and more than 5,000 ordinary people who came to do chores.
But this time, he had to return to the fiefdom with nearly 150,000 refugees, which was more than the number of people in the entire fiefdom.
In order to save food, and to prevent these refugees from having enough to eat, they have the strength to make trouble. So Yang Yun only gave these refugees two meals of gruel a day, and even then, the amount of food consumed every day was frightening.
These refugees, who came from the state of Chu, in Dafu, although they avoided the fate of starvation, they still did not have enough to eat and drink. After a brief period of probing, some of the refugees began to complain and even clashed with the escorts.
Yang Yun knew that for refugees who were several times more numerous than his soldiers. If they are not controlled, it will be a very troublesome thing to manage them well.
Therefore, Yang Yun ordered his soldiers to kill these guys who dare to make trouble or incite others to make trouble.
So, the soldiers under Yang Yun killed several guys who took the lead in making trouble, and these refugees completely settled down, and began to cooperate with these soldiers from the fiefdom, and slowly walked in the direction of King Wu's fief.
With these hundreds of thousands of people all the way, the speed of the march was very slow. It took some almost a month to finally reach the fiefdom.
Along the way, the food that Yang Yun asked people to bring was already consumed, fortunately, there was military food given by Kangcheng, and there was a little bit of food given by local officials in the face of King Wu after passing through some county governments along the way. to ensure that these hundreds of thousands of people did not return to the fiefdom hungry.
When these refugees came to the fiefdom of King Wu
At that time, all the people in the fiefdom were busy.
First of all, these refugees were resettled in the three counties on the back cover, and among the three counties, Shidong County had the smallest number of refugees, so the number of refugees resettled this time was the largest.
Yang Yun and his brothers had already discussed the issue of refugee resettlement, but they never thought of it. This time, there were so many refugees who came to King Wu's fiefdom.
This time, the number of refugees in King Wu's fiefdom even exceeded. The sum of the number of people in the original three counties of King Wu's fiefdom is a very troublesome thing to manage.
These more than 100,000 refugees came, after the fiefdom of King Wu. At the beginning, they were quite grateful, grateful for the grace of Wu King Yang Yun for giving them life, and cooperated with Yang Yun's arrangement to survive here.
But this period of harmony did not last long, and after gaining a foothold in the three counties of the fiefdom, the refugees gradually adapted to this kind of life under the fence, and began to compete with the locals for various interests. It's quite noisy.
In recent days, these soldiers from the state of Chu have clashed with the local people several times, and many have been injured in the clashes. Some even lost their lives.
In response to this situation, the counties began to focus on persuasion. Give them ideological work. I hope that everyone can live in harmony and develop together.
But the constant occurrence of blood made Yang Yun and his subordinates completely sober, and the troubled times must be re-enacted. At this time, Yang Yun deeply realized the true meaning of this sentence.
So, under Yang Yun's advocacy, the county government changed its previous moderate attitude, and when they still did not listen to many persuasions, the county officials of each county arrested a lot. , the head troublemaker.
For those who carry blood on their bodies, the personality takes iron-blooded measures mercilessly. There are even some people who have sinned heavily. was directly pushed to the execution ground and beheaded for public display.
The blood finally brought these troublesome refugees to their senses, and they began to learn. Get along in harmony with the residents of the original three counties.
Immediately after that, some policies were promulgated to simply drive some refugees who were idle and did not do their jobs out of the fiefdoms.
In addition, based on historical experience, Yang Yun divided every 30 households into a group, and the people in each group supervised each other. If there is a violation of the regulations, the method of "straining" will be adopted, and everyone will be punished together.
After punishing some of the troublemakers, the groups of refugees began to monitor each other, working together to put pressure on the thorns and nip their illegal ideas in the bud.
Of course, Yang Yun also knows. It is not possible to blindly force pressure, so immediately afterwards, Yang Yun announced a few more orders that made the victims feel more satisfied.
Notices were issued in all counties, whether they were newcomers, refugees or indigenous residents. We are all equal and have the same rights.
The three counties of Yang Yun's fiefdom did not have any big landlords before, some time ago. The county government cracked down on some unscrupulous landlords. Confiscate their lands to the imperial court.
For those small landowners who obeyed the law, the personality declaration gave money or some good policies to exchange their land.
Therefore, so far, the land of the three counties of the fief is basically owned by the county government. The county magistrates of all counties have issued policies to contract these lands to all the people.
Except for the land contracted by the people, except for the very low taxes, the rest is owned by the people themselves, which greatly mobilizes everyone's enthusiasm for farming.
