During the period from May to June, at least not too many victims came to Qingzhou, and the various factors involved cannot be briefly summarized.

But based on this, Qingzhou Mansion finally had some time to react. After nearly 10,000 people rushed to work, the relief point in Zhengjiawa has initially taken shape and can resettle people.

Although many functional areas are still just a "brand", after a period of running-in, these people who are directly involved have basic management concepts in their hearts, and they can be regarded as having completed the crash course and can be put into actual management work.

In June, when the rain fell frequently, Song presided over several meetings, made several detailed work arrangements, and listened more to the reports of some problems that had arisen recently. The news was sent to the ears of the general judge, and Chen Xiujie came over in person, took the matter over briefly, and sent someone to take Chen Ji back.

Less than three days later, Chen Jihe got up from the sickbed again and rushed to Zhengjiawa.

The latest wave of victims arrived in Qingzhou, all of them were yellow and thin, unkempt, and really looked like disaster victims, and they were the ones who arrived earlier, and they also rushed to be sad from the bottom of their hearts, compared with these people in front of them, they were really much luckier.

However, even with such a kind of "sympathy", the contradictions between the two waves of people still broke out. The reason is obvious, there is not enough food. In order to accommodate the latest arrivals, the food rations of the original wave have been cut to a certain extent. Later, some other problems were revealed, and they were out of control.

Chen Xiujie didn't have much time to stay in Zhengjiawa because he had to raise food from all over the country and cut down the price of grain in Qingzhou City, so this time the incident caused a lot of death.

……

In the command center of Zheng Jiawa, Chen Ji held a clay bowl, drank a sip of inferior bitter tea, and said to a few people in front of him: "Since this thing has happened, then take out an attitude, cut off your head when you should cut off your head, and tell them the truth that if you don't want to live, you can go elsewhere to make a living." ”

"If a person does not save himself, who can save him?" Coughing twice, Chen Ji put down the earthen bowl, got up and went to Feng Qianhu, and said, "The knife in your hand is not as good as a burning stick?" ”

"Killing people is likely to provoke a civil uprising, and we can't afford ......"

"." Chen Ji took over, "If this kind of thing is not allowed at the beginning, how can it kill people?" As I said earlier, some people think that they have suffered a disaster, and we people have to hold them, and this is the time to let them be uncles? I'm really afraid of stirring up a popular uprising, won't I find an excuse? Let's just say that they are spies sent by the rogues, and they are here to destroy everyone's good life......"

Several people present looked at each other.

Chen Ji covered his mouth and coughed a few times, his face was ugly, and said: "The dead people, since they are all dead, they should do something for the living people, which can be regarded as a kind of merit." After you go back, you convene a meeting to convey some things, if you want to live here, you must pay the corresponding price, for those who have come here, you can give them ten years of free time to eat and drink to recuperate, and then you must participate in the great cause of base construction, or you will get out of the way. ”

Several principals led by Hou Mingyu glanced at each other, and finally Hou Mingyu said loudly: "In this way, I am afraid that it will really provoke a civil uprising." ”

Chen Ji sneered: "Let me remind a few people, near Zhengjiawa, there are several streams of rogues. ”

Hou Mingyu's eyelids trembled.

Chen Ji continued: "If they hold their own identity as disaster victims and still want to pretend to be an uncle to make trouble, they will naturally have to pay the price. Usually you want to make them feel at home, but I also reminded you that for some people, you should also make them feel intimidated......"

"As for the food." Chen Ji changed the topic, his brows furrowed, his fingers knocked on the table, and said, "The price of grain in the city is inflated, and it is impossible to expect the government to transfer grain, we have to find our own way." Then he looked at Hou Mingyu, the chief steward of Zheng Jiawa, and asked: "How long can each person cut by 20% per day?" ”

Hou Mingyu thought for a while and said, "Seven days at most." ”

Chen Ji paused, nodded, and said, "I'll figure out a way to do this, and in the next seven days, there can't be any more accidents, otherwise we'll just wait to run away together." ”

After a while of gossip, Hou Mingyu took people out to clean up the aftermath. Chen Ji left Feng Xuexiao behind, and said straight to the point: "The 1,000 people under Feng Qianhu meet about 500 rogues, what are the odds?" ”

Feng Xuexiao's hand holding the knife tightened: "The thousands of people under my command are all foot soldiers. ”

Chen Ji sighed: "In a hurry, the infantry can only be used as cavalry." He didn't give Feng Xuexiao a chance to react, and ordered: "Feng Qianhu picks out five hundred people who can fight, change into the clothes of an ordinary caravan, bring the guys, prepare three days of dry food, and set off with me early tomorrow morning." ”

Feng Xuexiao was puzzled: "Dare to ask the purpose of this trip?" ”

"Buy food. I also heard just now that the food we have in reserve is not enough for seven days, and the number of victims is still increasing, and the grain that the Qingzhou government promised to allocate has not yet arrived, so we don't want to think of a way, we really have to be eaten by the victims there. ”

"Dare to ask where we go to buy food?" Feng Xuexiao really had a bad premonition.

"Let's see." Chen Ji said leisurely.

Feng Qianhu's heart trembled.

Leaving the house, Feng Xuexiao returned to his station, immediately gathered several hundred households under his command, and issued a "combat" mission.

Chen Ji then called Gui Chun and asked him to invite Hou Mingyu and Song Qingming back.

After retreating, Chen Ji personally poured tea for the two of them, and after sitting down, he said: "The first people to come over have basically agreed with our current management methods, and I plan to pick a part of them, observe them for a period of time, and send them to my manor in Qingxiu Mountain in batches, which is not only to resettle, but also to reduce the management pressure here." Every family in the city has a lot of land over there, and now a third of it is in our name, and it needs to be planted. ”

"The paper mills and charcoal factories everywhere need people, and all aspects of the bookstore also need people. Of course, there will be a lot of people who will manage this place in the future, and you should also pay attention to training! ”

"In addition, I have been fighting for the outsourcing right of the imperial court's Denglai sailors, that is, we will fund the construction of the imperial court to help the imperial court build the sailors, pay the imperial court a sum of silver every year, and then the sailors will be at our disposal except for the daily protection tasks. At that time, whether it is to attack pirates, or to trade with Goryeo and other places, or to fight for maritime supremacy in the south, we will have the final say. Of course, this matter is still under negotiation, but once it is done, we still have to choose from these people who have fallen into Zheng Jiawa......"
