Chapter 47: Marriage (First Update, Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection)
On the first day of the second month, when the news gathered from all sides showed that not only Du Du had retreated, but even Dolgon had hurriedly withdrawn outside the pass, the people in Jinan City who had been waiting for the end of the day finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Subsequently, many practical problems were put in front of everyone. On this morning, a group of people gathered in the hall of the Wangcheng Shizi's Mansion to discuss the aftermath.
“…… At present, there is no one in ten houses outside the king city of Jinan City, except for a few houses in the north city, most of the houses in the south city and the outer city are burned down, only a little broken wall remains, and hundreds of thousands of people in the city have neither warm clothes nor shelter in the tile. ”
After Song Qizhu's words fell, Zhang Bingwen followed up again.
"And then the resettlement of nearly 100,000 Ding Zhuang in the city, it is also a problem, these Ding Zhuang in addition to more than 10,000 people are the people of Jinan, most of the others are the people rescued by the prince from the Jiannu "human circle", most of his family members are killed for Jiannu, even if they are the oldest, they are only thirty or forty years old, most of them are in the prime of life, they are often alone, if they can't be properly resettled, in case of a group of disasters, I am afraid that it will increase and become chaotic......"
The most headache after the war is probably Ding Zhuang's dismissal, if it is just a simple defense of the city, it is nothing, just need to be dismissed and go home, but now Jinan is facing tens of thousands of single "Ding Zhuang" who need to be dismissed.
"Yes, those Ding Zhuang have nothing to worry about, if they are allowed to return to their hometowns on their own, it is inevitable that there will be crowds on the way, and the slightest change may cause trouble, Lord Shizi, this matter must be handled carefully!"
"And those women who have been saved, how to settle those orphan girls who have a miserable life is also a big deal, if they can't be properly resettled, if they are deceived by traitors, won't they suffer even more?"
When he heard Han Chengxuan, the magistrate of Licheng, mention those women, Zhu Guoqiang's eyebrows raised, he thought for a moment, and then suddenly smiled.
"Well, on one side there are homeless young people, and on the other side there are homeless orphans, you see......"
Looking up at everyone, Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.
"Just make them husband and wife, so that the strong man has a family, and naturally he will not be a hidden danger in the place for gathering together! What do you say? ”
"The prince of the world's clever plan!"
As soon as his words fell, Deng Qian immediately praised.
"In this way, not only does it stabilize Ding Zhuang, but also gives the orphan girl a place to go, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone."
"The prince of the world is high!"
In the echo of everyone, Liu Huaguang frowned and said.
"The prince's plan is a good strategy, but even if they let them become husband and wife, they are all homeless and miserable, even if Ding Zhuang has a family, he still sleeps in the open air, and when he sees his wife suffering with him, he will inevitably take risks, after all, he can still hold on and survive alone. But how many men would like to see their wives suffer with them? ”
As the only one of these people who did not have an official rank, Liu Huaguang directly pointed out the hidden dangers in this method. When he said this, the faces of the people who were originally patting the sycophants couldn't help but change slightly, but his straightforwardness made Zhu Guoqiang look at him twice, and he has always admired Liu Huaguang, who destroyed his family and recruited bravely to defend the city, and now his good impression is naturally two more points.
"What Skadden is worried about!"
Nodding slightly, Zhu Guoqiang groaned.
"Actually, this matter is easy to do, but it is also easy to do, Jiannu entered the Kou, burned, killed and looted along the way, so that thousands of miles were uninhabited, and hundreds of miles around Jinan were also red, so ......"
Looking at everyone, Zhu Guoqiang said directly.
"I'm thinking about it, or I'll hand over the borderless land around Jinan to them to cultivate!"
What the!
When everyone heard this, their faces changed slightly, and when they were about to speak, they heard the prince continue.
"Since most of the people outside the city are killed for Jiannu, then there must be a lot of borderless land, rather than letting those lands be wasted, it is better to give them to these Ding Zhuang, let them settle down in Jinan, first, they can avoid Ding Zhuang wandering around as a troubled place, and second, after they settle down, they can also be rich in the place, so that the government can collect taxes, what do you think?"
"Lord Shizi, this, I'm afraid there is something wrong with this, although many of those lands have become borderless land, but if after the land is divided, there is a former owner who comes to him, how to deal with it at that time?" As the magistrate of Licheng, Han Chengxuan naturally realized the risk of land division for the first time.
"It doesn't matter, if the original owner comes up, after confirmation, let it be returned, the original population of the hundred miles around Jinan is more than one million, and now most of them are killed for Jiannu, it can be said that there is no one in ten, I don't know how many places there are borderless, and there is no place to place Ding Zhuang?"
For the concerns of Han Chengxuan and others, Zhu Guoqiang said again.
"As for the houses they live in, this is easy to do, let them live together with 100 families, and build houses with bricks and timber from the old villages, although those houses have been burned down by Jiannu, but the bricks must still be intact, if they work together to build houses, it will not take a few days to build the houses, well......"
After thinking about it, Zhu Guoqiang looked at Song Xuezhu and asked.
"Xu Chu, don't we have tens of thousands of cattle captured in the Qing army camp, if it is enough for one head per household, if it is not enough, it will be divided between two families and three families, and they will all be distributed to them, and the government does not need to keep it, after all, it was originally all the people's things."
As soon as Zhu Guoqiang's words fell, there was a lot of praise around him, even those who still had some concerns about the "division of land" all stood up and said a long way.
"The prince is benevolent!"
The reason why they are like this is because those cattle belong to the prince, after all, those things were captured by the prince and the army, so they are naturally the things of the prince.
That's more than 30,000 cows!
These cattle alone are worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and the prince directly rewarded them all to the people. Moreover, for the people, cattle are more expensive than silver, "agriculture is the foundation of cattle", and the people cannot do without cattle for farming. I don't know how many people will benefit from this reward.
"The prince is benevolent and righteous, in this way, this Ding Zhuang's heart will definitely be able to settle down!"
"No, who doesn't want to live a stable life."
"In this way, I Jinan will definitely be able to recover as soon as possible! Recreate the prosperity of yesterday! ”
In the compliments of everyone, some people whispered puzzles.
"This marriage pays attention to a "parent's life matchmaker's words", this, in this hurry, how so many people are matched, and who is matched with whom, it is also the same thing......"
Listening to the concerns of others, Zhu Guoqiang laughed and said.
"It's a simple matter, there is no matchmaker, so Lone will be their matchmaker, and as for the wedding, I will hold a group wedding for them by celebrating the victory......"
