Chapter Eighty-Five: Catch the Ducks on the Shelf

The implementation of cash-for-work methods, as Liu Yi expected, met with a lot of resistance in the early days.

After all, for nearly half a month, people have been accustomed to the fact that the Mocheng government almost unconditionally meets their needs, and they have entered a comfort zone, and the inertia in their bodies has been completely released with this bottomless compromise.

As soon as the list came out, the new refugees in the city became dissatisfied and clamored.

"Leave them alone, those who are willing to work will be given food immediately, and they can even be paid, and those who are not willing to work can only drink porridge." As for the reaction of the refugees, Liu Yi had expected that there would be a shortage of manpower in the city, but he had to smooth out the order of the city before the next batch of refugees returned.

"Whoa!" The little official in charge of coordinating the supplies agreed when he heard this, and turned to carry out the order.

"Bo Yuan, they won't rebel, right?" Wei Yue was a little worried, feeling that facing these refugees was more tiring than facing thousands of troops.

"Trouble may be possible, but if it is a rebellion?" Liu Yi glanced at Wei Yue and said with a smile: "The people's hearts are not aligned, and there is no one to co-ordinate, how can you rebel?" What we need to do now is to kill the troublemakers immediately, and we must not be unbearable in the slightest. ”

"Don't worry, I've already told you to go down." Wei Yue nodded, they are all reckless bandits, if you really want to be ruthless, they are all murderous existences.

Although he was still a little worried, Wei Yue finally conveyed Liu Yi's order.

The chaos in the city did not improve, but for a day, the whole city was in chaos, and this situation reached its maximum in the evening when the food distribution began.

After all, not everyone is willing to work against others, willing to accept the arrangement, there are many people who go to work, these people in the evening according to the labor pay, get rich food, and even some people get wages, these people began to spontaneously maintain the rules of Mocheng, others drink porridge, but they have bread, eggs and some vegetable porridge, the most intuitive gap in food came out, stimulated by the sense of superiority in the heart, began to spontaneously maintain the order of Mocheng, to persuade those who are unwilling to accept.

As for the effect......

The sound of scolding and fighting in the city can be heard even when sitting in the government office.

"Bo Yuan, this ......" Liu Yi carved wood carvings there lightly, and occasionally dealt with some files, in addition to posting the list and distributing food today, Liu Yi also asked people to start establishing household registration, and most of the problems now are here.

"This official business is often the same as marching and fighting, we are the main generals of this Mo City, others can be chaotic, but we can't be chaotic, once we are chaotic, then everything will be closed, and wait for tomorrow to see, as long as they don't really join forces to fight, this Mo City will not be chaotic." Liu Yi had a confident expression, but in fact, he didn't know the bottom of his heart, after all, this was different from when he dealt with thousands of people before, most of the people at that time came by themselves or with them, he dealt with this kind of thing, and it was also the first time that the eldest girl got on the sedan chair, and it was a lie to say that he was not nervous, but as he said, now he must be calm, and then he can infect Wei Yue, and pass on this calm attitude one by one.

Otherwise, as the lord of Mocheng, he will be in chaos, and it is really hard to say what will happen to the people below.

When Wei Yue heard this, he admired Liu Yi's determination, in fact, if this was really a war, he would not be in a hurry, but the uncertainty of the future made him have to be anxious now.

"More work needs to be done." Liu Yi shook his head and said: "The woods in this area can't all be cut down, now that there are enough people, I plan to organize people to go to Tianmen Mountain tomorrow to find some good trees to cut down and concoct them into timber, and this place also doubles as a market town." ”

Liu Yi said, taking out the drawings he had made and showing them to Wei Yue, which could be regarded as distracting himself.

Although the concept of environmental protection in ancient times is not as clear as in modern times, in fact, there are also relevant regulations, not which forest you like, just cut it directly, especially this kind of large-scale logging.

At present, the population of Mocheng will follow Cao Jun to the south, entering a blowout growth stage, since he can't find the right talent, Liu Yi is ready to personally handle the further planning of Mocheng, the city's facilities have been built, and the next step is to build roads.

Although Mocheng was established at the confluence of the three rivers and the waterway is developed, it does not mean that there is no need for land routes, at least there must be a main road that can connect with the post road, as for the others, for the time being, it is not too necessary.

The two discussed until the sky was completely dark, in fact, Liu Yi was always saying, Wei Yue was listening to the sidelines, opinions or something, for Wei Yue, the big boss would not have it, he just felt that listening to Liu Yi say this, looking at Liu Yi's confident face, he could be a little more confident for no reason, in fact, he didn't see that Liu Yi was actually forcing composure.

This night, Liu Yi had insomnia, and as for Wei Yue, he was in a state of insomnia as early as the beginning, and now his eyes are almost like rabbits.

Waiting for this kind of thing is not to be anxious, the reason why I am anxious is because I am uncertain about the future of things, after all, the first time I deal with this kind of thing, Liu Yi only deals with it according to some information he knows, as for what things will evolve into in the end, Liu Yi doesn't know.

A new day began as Liu Yi appeared in the government office with some red eyes, Wei Yue was a little surprised why Liu Yi's face was so bad, but looking at Liu Yi's appearance, he didn't ask much.

The cash-for-work plan continued, although it was still very chaotic the next day, but it was obvious that the resistance was decreasing, and after the statistics of the evening work data came out, Liu Yi's heart that had been hanging finally fell back into his stomach.

At least according to the data, compared to the first day, the number of people who agreed to exchange labor for food, shelter and money according to the rules set by Mocheng has increased by about 30%, although there are still people killed for making trouble, but compared with yesterday, it has been reduced by more than half, and then, as long as it continues to do it at this rate, I believe that when the next batch of refugees are sent, Mocheng can restore temporary stability.

With this first batch of people proofing and the experience accumulated in the past few days, it is much easier to manage the second and third batches of refugees.
