Chapter 858: Knocking on Chang'an (5)

This road was originally a hundred paces wide, and in its heyday it was even specially maintained, and the middle of the road was paved with wooden planks to facilitate the passage of fast horses between the post stations. Under the Qin Dynasty's elaborate craftsman system, even the position between each plank was just the distance from the horse's four hooves.

But such a delicate and great project also accompanied the Qin Dynasty in the long river of history.

Now this straight road of the Qin Dynasty has been damaged, and some intersections do not hesitate to dig it up in order to defend against the Hu people who are constantly invading the south of Emperor Heng and Emperor Ling, forming a deep trench......

There are too many people in the land of Sanfu now.

It's scary.

Li Ru drove all the people of Yin in Henan to Sanfu at the beginning, and before he started the pacification and resettlement work, he suddenly suffered from violent inflation, which led to the collapse of many measures for a while, so that these ordinary people were completely reduced to refugees.

The ancient city of Chang'an is no longer a place to shelter the people of the Han Dynasty, but has become a place where disasters occur, in order to let the dignitaries and nobles in the government and the opposition not be under the impression of refugees, the captain of the city gate has strengthened the inspection, and people who have not passed through Chang'an are not allowed to enter Chang'an City, so that many people from Henan Yin are displaced outside the city.

Those who are a little more clever, take advantage of the time when there are fewer people, they begin to build grass huts in the mountains, or dig a nest on the sunny side of the leeward side, as a place to stay, and then think about what to do to live, and those later, there is no better ground around Chang'an, so they can only be forced to go farther and farther, part of it enters the river from the sloping valley, part goes northwest to the Hexi corridor, and the other part goes north along the Qin Straight Road......

"Head north! To the north! ”

"Everybody's going north! Work harder, hold on a little longer, and you'll be on the ground! ”

A large group of ragged refugees hobbled to the north, they did not know what their future would be, and they did not know whether they would be able to see the sun tomorrow, but they heard that there was an official in the north, who was willing to take them in, who would give them fields, and who would give them a place to shelter from the wind and rain, so they accompanied each other and dragged them all the way north.

As they walked, several older and frail people were a little exhausted, and they staggered and sat down on the trunk of the tree beside the road, which had been stripped of its bark and died, and said to his family with a smile: "...... Go forward, all of you...... I'll just rest for a while, and I'll catch up with your ......."

After finishing speaking, he pushed the half-sized boy beside him, urging him to hurry up and keep up with the large army of refugees, and then waved to him with a smile, and then stared at the familiar figure slowly disappearing from the field of vision, and then slowly raised his head like this, looked at the withered branches that were no longer half of the leaves, and finally glanced at the sky of the big man, and then closed his eyes like this......

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

"Zhonglang!" After listening to Fei Qian's words, Xu Shu couldn't help but be taken aback, and said, "This ...... If you really do this, how much food and grass will be spent! ”

Starting from Diaoyin, a small camp was built every fifty miles, and three chiefs were sent to lead the troops to garrison, and they were connected to Yinshan in this way! It's a bottomless pit!

It's not that he is inconsiderate of the people, nor is it that Xu Shu is hard-hearted, but Feiqian has just finished a large-scale battle here, on the one hand, he has to replenish the soldiers, and on the other hand, he has to continue to produce, how can he fill all the grain and grass reserves into this pit?

Before the Han Dynasty, there were also the imperial court to implement disaster relief or something, and there were also a large amount of grain and grass allocated to the sky, but such a large amount of grain and grass was still not enough, and how could the grain and grass in Feiqian's hands be enough?

That time the disaster relief refugees were not covered with corpses?

There were no thieves who rebelled at that time?

If these displaced people get out of control and start a mess halfway, won't that set themselves on fire?

But Fei Qian has been thinking about this issue for a long time, which is also a very important factor why he came to carve Yin in person. Because including Xu Shu, even the vast majority of people in the Han Dynasty, in terms of the recognition and treatment of refugees, even Fei Qian is only half a bucket of water, but it is still much stronger.

"Yuan Zhi, what is a homeless person?"

"At four o'clock, Guan Zi said, the fifth in the northern government, 'prohibit migration, stop the displaced people, and divide the differences', so those who died in the ground due to disasters are called displaced people." Xu Shu replied.

Fei Qian nodded, and then asked: "Since the Han Dynasty, when encountering displaced people, how to deal with most of them?" ”

Xu Shu thought for a moment and said: "In the ninth year of Yanxi, Qingxu was dry and dry, the grains were damaged, and the people were relocated...... Jiyu set up a village in the border, collected the displaced people, most of them were repatriated, and many of them entered the mountains for thieves......"

In fact, in the Han Dynasty, the problem of displaced people was not once or twice, but many times, and because the productivity of the Han Dynasty was still relatively low, once it snowballed, it was very terrible, and sometimes it affected each other, resulting in the complete destruction of the production and living structure of a whole region, making a large-scale population become a displaced person.

In the Han Dynasty, the imperial court and local county governments basically restricted, suppressed and repatriated the displaced people, and used county soldiers to control and pacify. And the worst thing is to force him to return to his hometown regardless of it......

Therefore, every time there is a displacement, the death of the population, the reduction of slaves, the adoption of soldiers, the settlement of the mountains and forests, or the eventual transformation of the bandits are the end of the majority of the displaced people.

"Why do bandits survive? And the homeless can't live? Fei Qian suddenly asked.

"This ......" Xu Shu didn't expect Fei Qian to suddenly ask this question, and subconsciously said, "The thieves are robbing a lot, this, um......" As soon as the words came out, Xu Shu felt that something was wrong, so he frowned and thought about it.

Fei Qian didn't urge, just let Xu Shu think for himself.

There is nothing wrong with the thieves robbing, but as Xu Shu said, the drought in the ninth year of Yanxi is also an arid area, and there is no grain everywhere, and even many local scholars are forced to wander, where do the people who go into the mountains to loot?

Cannibalism?

It's the same for homeless people and bandits, this kind of thing is inevitable, and they all do it. However, in the face of the same harsh environment, why are most of those who have become bandits able to survive in the end, while those displaced people are often not one in a hundred?

“…… The outcasts are disorderly, and the bandits ...... There is a leader ......" After a while, Xu Shu came up with an answer that was relatively close to the correct one.

Fei Qian nodded and said, "In addition, tools are needed...... Teach them to fish, so that they can ...... for a long time"

In fact, the answer is very simple, even if they are bandits, when they are not looting, they still carry out life and production in an organized manner, and will gradually accumulate some of the remaining materials, so as to ensure the continuation of most lives. As for the homeless, they eat all the way and have nothing in their hands, and once they get something, they can't wait to eat it all, a few bubbles of feces and urine, and then it's all gone, and they are always facing hunger.

Therefore, to deal with the displaced people, just by repression, or what is the work for relief, is to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, such a way of dealing with a large amount of food and grass, will also bring great civil pressure to the gathering place, and the most labor-saving way is to immediately organize the displaced people to resume self-rescue, evacuate, and re-establish the mode of production and life, with today's food, but also know where to go tomorrow, what to do can have food, people's hearts will naturally settle down, In this way, the establishment of order and the survival of personnel can be ensured to the greatest extent.

From Diaoyin to Yin Mountain, there are rivers such as Luoshui along the way, naturally there are fish, shrimp and shellfish, and there are also large forests on the surrounding hills, and there is certainly no shortage of wild fruits, birds and beasts.

Taking a step back, even if they can't catch living things, now that spring has arrived, everything grows, this road was originally sparsely populated, and plants are growing at will, so there are many sprouts of these plants that can be collected and eaten, so as long as Fei Qian supplies them with the tools of production and life, and tells them the goal of moving forward, these people who are accustomed to suffering will naturally struggle to try their best to live when they see the hope of the future.

And what they need to do is just to take out some grain and grass at the beginning, pacify them and reorganize them from a plate of scattered sand into a small production team......

In fact, in history, Fei Qian knew that even if he did not organize it, these people in Chang'an, in order to avoid military disasters, fled to Jingxiang, fled to the Western Regions, and went south to Bashu, and even some even went to Jiaozhou.
