Chapter 593: Drawing lots to divide the room
Let the eunuchs lead the troops to fight, they don't have the ability, but if they want to make a whole person, they are better than anyone else.
On the same day, Li Shi, the son of heaven, heard some gossip in the palace, which made Li Shi a little angry and immediately brought Song Chaofeng over.
Li Shi said with a cold face: "I don't want some messy rumors to appear in the palace, you have to check it out for me, where did these rumors come from?" β
"Back to Your Majesty, in fact, the old slave has also heard some rumors in the past two days, and is investigating the source of these rumors."
"Is there a result of the investigation?"
"The source of the old slave already knows, it is some eunuchs who are on duty outside the palace to bring back the news, but the specific person has not been found yet."
Li Shi was stunned, "What do you mean by this, is there a rumor outside?" β
Song Chaofeng sighed, "It has long been spread outside, in fact, the ministers also have a lot of discussions, but they didn't want to spoil Your Majesty's mood, so they didn't tell Your Majesty." β
"What are you talking about?"
"This ....." Song Chaofeng hesitated.
Li Shi glared at him fiercely, "Speak!" β
Song Chaofeng had no choice but to say: "The main thing is that Li Sheng's dismissal of local officials, the appointment of new officials did not pass the ministry, and the killing of Da Xi Baohui did not get the consent of the military department, especially the killing of Li Yuanjin, everyone discussed a lot, thinking that there was another hidden secret. β
"What's going on?"
"Your Majesty, when Li Xilie's troops were in rebellion in Sui Prefecture and Tang Prefecture, Li Yuanjin was the first magistrate to write to the imperial court, plus his official reputation has always been good, and he is Yan Zhenqing's protΓ©gΓ©, everyone thinks that it is impossible for him to be loyal to Li Xilie, and Li Sheng must have another secret reason for killing him."
Seeing that Li Shi was silent, Song Chaofeng said again: "Sending a prison army is the most effective measure since ancient times, especially when the disaster of the current feudal town is getting worse, the importance of the prison army is even more prominent, Your Majesty listened to the prince's advice and did not send a prison army to Li Sheng, although the starting point is to trust him, it may eventually harm him, after all, the prince is young, he has no rich experience, and many things cannot be seen through."
Your Majesty, the old slave believes that all generals have a seed of ambition in their hearts, and if they don't give it a chance, it won't sprout and sprout, but if it is connived, it will definitely come out, and the old slave is very worried that Li Sheng will become the second Guo Song! β
Li Shi was shocked, Guo Song's lesson suddenly appeared in front of him, how Guo Song became a feudal town step by step, he knew very well that withdrawing from the Hexi Prison Army was probably his biggest mistake.
Li Shi nodded, "You're right, I should indeed send a prison army to Shannan Dongdao, and I can't repeat the mistakes of Hexi." β
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Li Shi immediately appointed the eunuch Wang Fazhong as the supervisor of Shannan Dongdao, and set off on the same day, and at the same time ordered the criminal department and the official department to send people to Tangzhou to investigate the cause of Li Jinyuan's death.

After the wheat harvest in Longyou, it began to settle the displaced people in Longyou on a large scale, the resettlement places are mainly concentrated in Shanzhou, Lanzhou and Weizhou, 200,000 displaced people are young and strong to build villages, build houses, busy in full swing, at the same time, groups of women, children and old people from Zhangye moved to Longyou through the big bucket valley, settled in the county seat and villages,
Guo Song was still in Longyou at this time, in a village fifty miles east of Shanzhou City, Guo Song and a dozen officials were inspecting the construction of the village.
The village is called Linjia Village, it has existed since the Sui Dynasty, but in the Anshi Rebellion, the invasion of the Tuyuhun people, a large number of people fled, these villages are gradually abandoned because no one lives, similar abandoned villages in Longyou There are tens of thousands, their seats are good, most of them live by the water, leaning against the woods or hills, these villages formed by history are very suitable for becoming new villages.
200,000 young men were divided into 200 construction teams to build new houses and complete the construction of various settlements before the winter.
"This is our newly built house, please take a look!"
Guo Song stood in front of a newly built house, this is a unified design of the new house, simple and practical, low investment, each household occupies about one acre of land, three and a half mud and straw houses, the yard is very large, the courtyard piles are laid around, the fence is built by the owner of the house himself, and they are also left with space to build their own houses and expand.
"Is the house leaking?" Guo Song looked at the roof and asked.
An official hurriedly said: "The roof truss is smeared with a layer of white mud, and the thick wheat straw is spread, which will definitely not leak rain, and can bear the heavy pressure of heavy snow, just afraid of the snowstorm after the winter, but everyone has experience, and the roof wheat straw will be pressed with large stones in winter." β
Guo Song nodded and said to the surrounding officials: "We have to think about it more carefully, we all know that we must shovel snow in time after the snowfall, otherwise the heavy snow will collapse the house, but most of these displaced people are from the Central Plains and have not experienced the blizzard in the Hexi Corridor and Longyou, they may not know, so we should remind them as soon as possible, I am just making an analogy, which means to consider the details." β
Everyone hurriedly said: "The envoy has considered it thoroughly, and he has remembered his humble duties!" β
Guo Song went to check out the other houses, there are about 200 households in Linjia Village, close to the Xiaoyu River, a tributary of the Yellow River, except for a large forest, the rest is an endless wheat field.
Guo Song asked the resettlement envoy Cao Wannian again: "How should the house be distributed?" β
Cao Wannian hurriedly said: "The lowly job is ready to use the method of Fengzhou, divided into two kinds of lots, one is the red lot, the other is the white lot, the red sign is to live in the city, and the white sign is to live in the countryside, but there is no choice, we will number all the houses, in fact, it has been almost compiled, and the first lottery will be held in five days, and about 10,000 families will participate." β
"How do you choose these 10,000 families?" Guo Song asked again.
"We decided according to the order of registration, the first 10,000 families will be drawn first, we have told everyone, it is not that you can get a good house by drawing first, it is completely dependent on your own luck."
Guo Song smiled again and asked, "What if many families want to live together?" β
Cao Wannian smiled: "Have you forgotten our experience in Fengzhou?" We will set up an exchange space at the drawing of lots, with specialized officials in charge of this, who will provide information and let the people negotiate the exchange themselves. β
Guo Song remembered that this was still the method he came up with back then, and he actually forgot it.
"Good! Five days later, I'll come to see your lottery. β
.........
The first batch of house selection was held in Shanxian County, Shanxian is the second largest county in Shanzhou, the people basically fled to Hexi, and there were not many who came back, they exchanged their Longyou house for a house in Hexi, Shanxian County is almost an empty county, the big mansions of more than three acres in the city were bought by the government, and will be used as official residences, or as official assets for rent, while other houses are divided into small courtyards, almost every family has half an acre of residential land.
Although the first batch of house selection was held in Shanxian County, it does not mean that they can choose the houses in Shanxian County, they are all randomly drawn, but they can choose to live in the city or the countryside, the rural housing area is large, you can open up the wasteland to grow vegetables, raise chickens and ducks, and live in the city can find something to do, earn money to support the family, each has its own advantages, basically the original living in the countryside also chooses the countryside, and the original living in the city will also choose the city.
Thousands of big tents have been set up outside the city of Shanxian County, 10,000 families have gathered here, the lottery point is outside the camp, each family sends one person to participate in the lottery, due to the full publicity in advance, everyone knows what the rules are, it is completely by luck, the first one to go up may not be able to draw a good lot, everyone is not in a hurry, patiently waiting for the moment of the lottery to come.
In the early morning, tens of thousands of people gathered in the wilderness, everyone was whispering, talking about the upcoming new home, and everyone's eyes were full of yearning and longing for a new life in the future.
"Be optimistic about your number plate, the first thousand come and line up!" Several soldiers shouted in unison.
The first batch of lots began, and the people who came up were basically men, they were the masters of the family, and under the coordination of the soldiers, a thousand people quickly lined up in a long line, and some of the people who were too excited and made the mistake also retreated.
On the high platform put two large tables, there are two large cardboard boxes on the table, one red, one white, red represents the countryside, white represents the county seat, the first batch of twenty people came to the stage, the leader is a sturdy man in his thirties, he has a red number plate in his hand, he and a dozen other men quickly came to the red cardboard box, the official said to them: "Draw a note at will, and then go off the stage!" β
The man at the head took a deep breath, reached out and took out a folded note from underneath, and walked off the stage quickly, he was illiterate, and hurriedly handed the note to an official, who looked at it and smiled: "Room 23, Qingwa Village, Dongxiang, Shanzhou County." β
"But where is Qingwa Village?" The man was still confused.
The official pointed to the back, "There is a map in the back, you can find it!" β
At this time, his wife ran over with her two children and asked nervously, "Dalang, where is it?" β
"It's Qingwa Village, Dongxiang, Shanzhou County, let's go look at the map!"
The family hurried to the back........
