"My lord, so far, our political affairs department has resettled more than 34,600 displaced people, all of whom are distributed in Haicheng, Kenli, and the east bank of the Daqing River, but there are still more than 53,700 people, and there is no way to resettle them. Among them, there are more than 12,400 young men and more than 40,000 young women......"

The official hall of the Government Affairs Bureau, that is, Xu Changqing's outer study, Li Yan is carefully reporting the current situation of Haicheng to Xu Changqing.

In the official hall, Yang Zhongliang, Li Hongyun, Zhang Hongqiang, Zhao Zengjin, Xu Xiu, Zhang Long, Zhang Hu, and other important military and political officials were all worried and listened carefully to the report.

There's no way around it.

It's not that Xu Changqing is not tired and doesn't want to be lazy, but so many people are not properly arranged, and they eat, drink, and Lazar every day, which is astronomical!

At this time, although some of the food and materials promised by Fan Yongdou have been transported to Haicheng and begun to be cashed, compared to the overall situation, the dozens and hundreds of truckloads of grain that have just arrived will be able to be maintained, and if there is no way to solve it quickly, it is tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst.

But the men are well arranged, the army absorbs a part, the fleet absorbs a part, including salt farms, armory workshops, docks, shipyards, livestock farms, etc., can be integrated, but the female dependents are in trouble, especially many female dependents are pregnant......

The current abortion technology is not perfect, the slightest carelessness is one corpse and two lives, not only can they not be allowed to work, Xu Changqing also has to take good care of them.

The key is that this thing couldn't be checked at that time, and there was no such huge manpower and material resources.

And whether it is the soldiers of the model army or the Qing army, the aesthetic power is still in one dimension, and the women who the Qing army thinks are good-looking, and the soldiers of the model army must not look bad......

And these beautiful ladies, as you can imagine, must have a problem......

It was not easy to bring them here, if they gave up, even if they thought with their butts, Xu Changqing could know the consequences, they could only die humbly without the slightest dignity, and become a handful of loess in Haicheng......

After listening to the report, Xu Changqing pondered for a long time, and his eyes suddenly changed: "No matter how difficult things are, someone has to do them!" These women, they are also my people of the Ming Dynasty, and they are also my sisters of Xu Changqing! Do they want to be like this? Who is it, who is it, holding the court and eating white rice and rice, but not protecting them? ”

As he spoke, Xu Changqing stood up suddenly: "Everyone in the Political Affairs Bureau listens to the order!" ”

"Whoa."

The audience, including the military advisor Li Yan, suddenly fell to his knees!

"I don't care what method you use, all pregnant women are exempt from any labor, and each person must ensure two slices of sea cucumber and a bowl of fresh fish soup every day! God doesn't want them anymore, I turned my back on them, and I, Xu Changqing, came to raise them! ”

"Lord, but this ......"

Li Yan wanted to say something.

Xu Changqing simply and decisively interrupted: "No, but! If there is not enough food, then, reduce military supplies! ”

"Yes......"

Li Yan, Li Hongyun, Yang Zhongliang and others looked at each other, all speechless, and could only bow their heads and say yes.

"Handsome and benevolent!"

"It is an honor to be able to serve the handsome man to death!"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, ...... poor sisters."

But on the military's side, one by one, their blood was boiling, and they couldn't hide their admiration in their eyes when they looked at Xu Changqing.

They don't have so many fancy intestines as these literati in the Political Affairs Bureau, Xu Changqing's move is definitely a heroic feat that stands up to the sky!

Even if you ask the world, how many people can do this?

Especially the red lady, her beautiful eyes were already hazy with tears, and she kowtowed to Xu Changqing desperately.

I'm afraid that if Xu Changqing asked her to charge into battle at this time, even if she knew that she would die, she would definitely not hesitate!

……

The women's camp was placed not far from the wharf, which was used as a military defense area earlier, mainly in Haicheng at this time, and many sand walls here did not need to be rebuilt, and some sheds could shelter from the wind and rain, so that these poor women could have a place to live.

At noon, not long after Xu Changqing made a decision in the Political Affairs Bureau, the news reached the women's camp.

Suddenly, in the huge camp of tens of thousands of people, the excited and joyful cries of women could be heard everywhere.

"Uncle, you are really the reincarnation of the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva......"

"Uncle, as long as the slave family is still alive, they will definitely set up an immortal archway for you......"

"Uncle, the slave family is willing to use ten years of yang life in exchange for a day of your health......"

"The slave family is also willing, and the slave family is also willing......"

“……”

As the manipulator and executor of this matter, looking at the crying of countless women in the camp, Mei Yan's tears were a little unable to hide, so she turned around and wiped her eyes vigorously.

The women next to her were the same, and they felt the pain and empathy.

They were all the first batch of women rescued by Xu Changqing in Liaodi, although Xu Changqing later found them a good home, but they didn't accept it, and they swore a long time ago to guard Xu Changqing for the rest of their lives.

Xu Changqing came to them, that was their blessing, if Xu Changqing didn't come to them, it would also be their life.

It is precisely because they have a common fate that they know how painful these poor ladies are at this time.

In a short time, the news spread throughout Haicheng.

Whether it is a female dependent who has the same experience, or someone who has not had this experience, they all empathize.

I've never eaten pork, I've always seen pigs run.

As a woman, how can you not know the pain of having no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth?

The men were silent as they heard this.

I'm afraid that in this world, only their handsome, Xu Changqing has the courage to devour heaven and earth.

This pushed Xu Changqing's already peak reputation and influence to a height that was impossible to reach.

However, at this time, Xu Changqing, who was checking the detailed figures of the Political Affairs Bureau in the official hall, could only smoke and smile bitterly.

According to the current state, not to mention the use of troops in the northwest, it is a problem to eat, and at most it can hold out for a month......

Fortunately, Xu Changqing still has a lot of small coffers, including Li Youwei, who also have a lot of private money, which can barely last for a while.

But we have to find a way out as soon as possible!

If we can't find a way out as soon as possible, it will inevitably trigger a chain effect, and the collapse will only be instantaneous.

"Heidao, Changshan Island, Dazhu Island, Xiaozhu Island, is there any news recently?"

Xu Changqing took a deep puff of the dry tobacco pouch and looked at Li Yan, Li Hongyun, and Yang Zhongliang.

At this time, there were only these three people and Xu Changqing in the hall.

Naturally, this kind of confidential task will no longer be heard by others.

Li Yan said: "Not yet. However, my lord, we have almost checked the situation on these islands, except for the two bandits on Heidao and Xiaozhu Island, the rest of the islands are all bitter fishermen, as well as the salt farms of many big households. However, on these islands, there is not a small amount of land that can be cultivated, but it is too bitterly cold, and there are storms on the sea from time to time, and the common people are reluctant to go there to farm, preferring to stay in Denglai as tenant farmers. ”

Xu Changqing nodded slowly.

This is also a big disadvantage of the seaside, which is that there are frequent storms!

In the future, once there is a terrible storm, it will still be a mess of chickens and dogs, not to mention this kind of technology tree and productivity at this time.

It is normal for ordinary people to have scruples about this.

Li Hongyun said: "Lord, let's focus on the development of Zhanhua and Lijin, as well as Boxing, there are more new lands that can be reclaimed, as long as we are willing to work hard, at most three years, we will definitely be able to turn Shandong Zuoxie into a new granary." ”

Yang Zhongliang also nodded: "Lord, although the Tartars are fierce, our Ming Dynasty is not a vegetarian, they just come once or twice, it is impossible to come every day." If the wind and rain are smooth, I'm afraid it will take less than three years, and by next year, we will have a big harvest. ”

Although Li Yan didn't speak, he also looked at Xu Changqing hopefully, obviously, he also agreed with this plan.

Xu Changqing nodded slowly, but did not express his position.

Even people like Li Yan, Li Hongyun, and Yang Zhongliang, who are at the core decision-making level and can understand many core news that ordinary people can't capture, can make this kind of judgment, not to mention other people.

I'm afraid that even now, they still regard the Qing army as a 'scabies'.

But Xu Changqing didn't know what to say, and said after a long while: "If there is a better way to walk, I am willing to take a better road!" But this thing, not afraid of 10,000, just in case! If the Qing army attacks again, you feel that where can we defend except Haicheng? ”

"This ......"

Several people fell silent.

Yang Zhongliang was entangled for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Lord, even if the Tartars attack again, it can't be next year, right?" What if it's the year after tomorrow? As long as we grasp this year and next year, we will have made more than a year in vain. ”

Xu Changqing suddenly laughed.

It is no wonder that later generations said: "As long as there is a place where the sun rises, there will be Chinese!" ”

If there is no war and the social order is normal, the Chinese will definitely make all the nations in the world sigh!

It's a pity that what they don't know is that it is already April of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, and at this time next year, it is very likely that the whole world will be turned upside down!

When the time comes, you have no danger to defend, you don't have a strong mobility, what can you do to play with the wolf-like Eight Banners elite?

No matter how much land is planted and how many people are reproduced, it is no wonder that it is just making wedding dresses for others, so that there are many more minions in the wild boar skin of the dog's day!

"Don't be in a hurry about this! Preparedness is safe, this year's spring ploughing, we have missed a lot, even if it is remedied, how much can it be remedied? Strategist, Li Ye, Uncle Liang, you are all smart people, you should understand, can we return to our roots quickly by farming, or can we return to our roots quickly by fishing and drying salt? ”

There are many things that can't be said clearly, and Xu Changqing can only change the angle.

"This ......"

Several people looked at each other, and soon understood.

Li Hongyun said: "Lord, if this is the case, my subordinates also think that it is better to have a big pot of rice now." The subordinates also made a special inquiry before, because of the war and the ravages of bandits, the surroundings of Heidao and Changshan Island, including the southern Liaoning side, have not had decent fishing operations for many years, with our current foundation, if we can gain a firm foothold on those islands, the amount of fishing will definitely be able to improve again! Moreover, you can use those salt farms, and the integration of fishing and drying salt will definitely greatly improve efficiency. ”

Li Yan also nodded and said, "Master Li's words are feasible. If it happens, we can not only go to southern Liaoning to fish, but also spy on intelligence from southern Liaoning, killing multiple birds with one stone! ”

Yang Zhongliang also nodded again and again: "From the perspective of business, this is the best way!" The subordinates also agree with this strategy! ”

Seeing that everyone had finally reached an agreement, Xu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was still impassive, and he said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then let's take action as soon as possible!" Ladies and gentlemen, within a month, I want to take one of the islands legally and completely, can I do it? ”
