As the imperial court's relief money and grain arrived in Yanzhou and Qingzhou Prefectures one after another, the pressure on Yushan Town was instantly reduced a lot, and all prefectures and counties began to make every effort to help the victims.

At the same time, under the strict orders of Yingzong, the officials of the prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River also raised a large amount of money and grain with the powerful families in various places, and in just a few days, the money and grain raised were transported to the disaster area.

As a result, the number of victims who flocked to Yanzhou and Yushan Town began to decrease one after another. In October of the 11th year of Orthodoxy, the victims stranded in various parts of Yanzhou began to be sent back to their hometowns by various prefectures and counties.

At this time, the cold wind of early winter has begun to howl, and everything in Yanzhou Mansion is withering, and it seems that it is about to enter the cold winter, but Yushan Town has collected 110,000 victims in the past few months!

For a time, Yushan Town, Huakou Town, Zhangqiu Town, and Anshan Town were all overcrowded, and the victims who had left their hometowns and were unclothed were waiting to be fed, which made the hearts of everyone in Yushan Town hang.

Because the financial resources of Yushan Town are limited after all, the money and grain earned by the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Civil Affairs seem to be groundbreaking, which can be described as a daily income, but in the face of 110,000 disaster victims, these money and food are simply beyond their means!

The cold winter is coming, but at this time, there are still a considerable number of victims in Yushan Town who do not have houses to live in, so they can only build nests around the towns and villages to temporarily escape the wind and cold, and even rations and cotton clothes are in short supply!

In the face of this situation, Liu Juntao was also anxious at this time, although there are no new victims flocking to Yushan Town, but the situation facing Liu Juntao is still very grim.

At this time, in the face of increasingly cold weather, Liu Juntao must raise enough food and cotton clothes for the 110,000 victims in the shortest possible time, and build houses in Yushan Town, Huakou Town, Zhangqiu Town, Anshan Town and other farms as soon as possible for the victims to live and settle down!

This is a huge project, which not only requires a huge amount of money and food to support, but also requires huge manpower to implement. However, the current Yushan Town has neither inexhaustible money and food, nor enough manpower to use!

In order to resettle the 110,000 victims, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce have already used the manpower, and even the military department has mobilized all the manpower that can be mobilized and scattered it everywhere, and now there is no surplus manpower.

After thinking about it, Liu Juntao suddenly remembered some of the means of disaster relief in later generations, and finally decided to turn the passive into the active, turning the 110,000 disaster victims into the driving force for Yushan Town to enhance its strength!

So, Liu Juntao and Guo Yongzhong discussed, carried out an inventory of the 110,000 victims, and all of them were registered, indicating their origins, ages, livelihoods and specialties.

Moreover, in order to solve the problem of insufficient cotton clothes for the victims, Liu Juntao could not rely on this method alone, not only the number of cotton clothes raised was limited, but also a lot of money.

So, Liu Juntao found Guo Muying and asked the clothing factory to immediately recruit strong women and old people from the victims, expand production on a large scale, and sew cotton clothes with all their might.

Guo Muying also understood the importance of the matter, and immediately took the guys from the quilt factory to recruit people everywhere, and ate and lived in the quilt factory for more than a month, and the whole person was tired and lost weight twice.

If Liu Juntao hadn't heard the news, he personally rushed to the clothing factory and dragged Guo Muying home, ordering him to rest for three days, it is estimated that Guo Muying would be tired.

After that, Liu Juntao ordered to inform everywhere:

First, rations and warm clothing for all victims were rationed, and priority was given to the elderly, weak, women and children. Young men can only maintain the most basic food supply, cotton clothes are not available, and it is impossible to eat enough!

Second, all the young and strong men among the victims of the disaster were organized into a team and assigned to work in various places of the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

At the same time, the young and strong people of the disaster can also apply to work in the farms and residences built in various parts of Yushan Town, and the work is also calculated according to the amount of work;

The above two ways out, strong women can also participate, but the work is calculated according to eighty percent of the young and strong.

Every 10 days, the young and strong women of the victims can exchange for food, cotton clothes, and living utensils with the accumulated work!

Third, the military department immediately selected young people from among the victims, numbered 5,000 people, and sent them to the escort camp for training, and prepared to be incorporated into the Yushan Town Escort Team after training!

Fourth, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Civil Affairs immediately began to expand, and the area of shops, caravans, and tuntian fields had to be greatly increased, so as to consume the manpower of the victims.

When Liu Juntao's four orders were sent everywhere, the entire Yushan Town was in rapid operation again, and the 110,000 victims were like a turbulent water, which was diverted and guided by the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the military, and quickly resettled everywhere.

The huge manpower of the 110,000 victims was transformed into a huge motivation in just over a month, so that Yushan Town turned into a fierce horse and began to run wildly.

In the past month or so, new farms and shops have sprung up all over Yushan Town, and the power of Yushan Town has begun to expand rapidly, from the northern and central parts of Yanzhou Mansion to the entire Yanzhou Mansion, and began to rapidly expand to Qingzhou Mansion, Jinan Mansion, Dongchang Mansion, and Dengzhou Mansion.

At this moment, the entire Shandong Haoqiang and gentry were shocked, and they never expected that the hundreds of thousands of victims did not drag Yushan Town down, but let Yushan Town develop rapidly.

The people who were about to watch Liu Juntao's jokes are now unable to laugh, and they don't understand what kind of method Liu Juntao used to do this!

In the eleventh year of orthodoxy, at the end of December, Yushan Town.

Liu Juntao looked at the data reported by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce, and his heart was also overjoyed, it seems that his plan in the past few months is completely correct, and he finally took Yushan Town to tide over the difficulties.

However, before Liu Juntao was happy for too long, Tang Yu came over with a sad face and said, "Mr. Lian, our inventory in Yushan Town has bottomed out, and there will be no money and food next month!" ”

Liu Juntao was also taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Doesn't the Ministry of Commerce have inputs every month?" What's more, now that the business of the Ministry of Commerce has expanded several times, our Yushan Town's income should be more! ”

Tang Yu said with a wry smile: "Mr. Lian, now the stalls in our Yushan Town are too big, money is being used everywhere, and there are bottomless pits everywhere!" The Ministry of Commerce has more than 300,000 yuan per month, but it is simply not enough to make ends meet when it is distributed everywhere! Also, it is true that the business of the Ministry of Commerce has expanded several times, but it takes time to return to the cost of doing business, and it is impossible to make money every day immediately! ”

Hearing this, Liu Juntao was also a little flustered, frowning and thinking.

Although Tang Yu was very anxious, he still waited quietly to the side, and did not rush to urge Liu Juntao to take an idea.

After a long while, Liu Juntao asked in a deep voice: "How long will it take for the newly opened stall of the Ministry of Commerce to be profitable?" ”

"At least three to four months!"

"How much silver is there in our Yushan Town every month now?"

Tang Yu had obviously already calculated this number, and without thinking about it, he said directly: "After deducting the monthly income of the Ministry of Commerce, there is still a gap of eight to one hundred thousand taels of silver per month in our Yushan Town!" ”

"Eight to one hundred thousand taels?"

Liu Juntao repeated Tang Yu's words, pacing back and forth in the room, frowning and thinking about where to get so much silver.

"Eight to one hundred thousand taels!"

Suddenly, Liu Juntao seemed to think of something, and said to Tang Yu with some excitement: "How much does the Qufu Confucius Mansion have in the Ministry of Commerce now?" ”

Tang Yu instantly understood what Liu Juntao meant, and said: "The 500,000 taels of silver invested by the Confucian Mansion were only invested in the Yushan Workshop, and they have nothing to do with the shops and caravans in various places. Moreover, the Confucian Mansion only accounts for 30% of the share in the Yushan Workshop! ”

When Liu Juntao heard this, he laughed out loud and said, "Okay! Now, we have somewhere to dig for silver! ”

"Mr. Lian, I'm worried that the Confucian Mansion will pay this money?"

"Don't worry!"

Liu Juntao said confidently: "I expect that the Holy Father of Dingyan will definitely agree to give the silver!" ”

The next day, Liu Zi'an rushed to Qufu County with Liu Juntao's handwritten letter.

Only eight days later, Liu Zi'an rushed back with a reply from the Confucius Mansion in Qufu County.

Liu Juntao took Yan Shenggong's handwritten reply and read it, and after a while, he laughed out loud, and said to Liu Zi'an and Tang Yu: "Yan Shenggong has agreed, all the shops and caravans under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Commerce, Yan Shenggong will account for 20% of the share, and another 500,000 taels of silver!" ”

Tang Yu was excited when he heard this, and said; "In this way, our Yushan Town has no worries! With these 500,000 taels of silver, our Yushan Town can fully support it until the beginning of spring next year, and the new stall of the Ministry of Commerce will also start to make a profit! ”

Liu Juntao also took a breath, and secretly said in his heart: "Finally! Yushan Town has finally crossed the Ghost Gate Pass and is truly powerful! ”
