"Lord, there should be people who can read and write among the refugees, and there should also be people who know the art of Qihuang, if the lord hires them with a skill to work in the corresponding place, I think the refugees will not refuse." After speaking, Xi Zhicai also glanced at Su Xiu meaningfully.

"yes, why didn't I think of that?" Su Xiu slapped her thigh and woke up.

In fact, it's not that Su Xiu couldn't think of this, but he couldn't connect his plans in Taishan with refugees for a while.

"Okay, Miss Misan, according to what you said, 200,000 stones is 200,000 stones, but you also know that I can't come up with money to pay you at this time now, it's not that I don't have it, but there are too many places to use money now, and I'm still a little stretched now, how about deducting those grains from the immortals' drunken shares?"

"My lord is really calculating, and without spending a penny, he took out another 200,000 stone of grain from my Mi family."

Mi Zhen glanced at Su Xiu, this method is actually not impossible, but businessmen often need capital turnover, and if there is no capital in the account, this 200,000 stone grain will still have an impact somewhat. But fortunately, the Mi family has a deep family background and an income from fairy drunkenness, so it will not affect the normal operation.

"Of course, I won't let you suffer, I will give you an extra three cents every month, and I will pay you all within a year." Su Xiu simply moved out of the method of installment payment in later generations, I have to say that this method is still very reasonable, otherwise no one in the future will agree with it.

"Oh? That's not bad, that's okay, I'll write to my eldest brother when I go back, and ask him to bring food over. Mi Zhen is also the first time to hear of this method of paying bills, think about it carefully, on the basis of not affecting her own business, you can still have a little more income, this business can be done.

"That's okay, Xiu is here to thank Miss San for the refugees." Su Xiu bowed deeply to Mi Zhen and said.

"Adults don't have to be like this, I can be regarded as making a little contribution, and besides, adults still have a comeback. The adults still have something to discuss, so Zhen will leave. After saying that, he left the county guard's mansion.

"Zhicai, your suggestion just now suddenly made me pause, I thought about it, it just so happens that now Mount Tai is developing, I originally planned to wait for the autumn grain to pass before considering the construction of the road, and now it can also be carried out in advance. The victims were allowed to build roads, while the government paid them monthly, and others could share a portion of the land for them to cultivate, so that the refugees could stay in Mount Tai without causing trouble. ”

"The lord wants to build a road?"

"Yes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Only when the road is clear, will there be more room for development. The reason why Mount Tai has been poor for so many years, in fact, is still poor transportation, so that the people have no more ways to generate income, once the disaster and famine turn back to someone who takes risks and falls into the grass, this wine is a vicious circle, so it is imperative to build roads. ”

"Well, it does make sense, in addition, my lord, your craftsman workshop can also recruit some talents from among the disaster victims, and we must disperse the disaster victims as much as possible, so that the food in various places will not be in a tight situation."

……

In late July of the fourth year of Guanghe, sure enough, if Su Xiu said, a large number of refugees began to flock to it, especially in Chi County, Lu County and Laiwu County, which are close to Qingzhou, and these places are close to Jinan Army, Pingyuan County and Qi County, but these three places are the most serious places.

Although all parts of Mount Tai were ordered by Su Xiu to open warehouses and release grain to help the victims, the number of victims was still much beyond Su Xiu's expectations, this was still the beginning, and there would definitely be more refugees pouring in in the future. What's even more difficult is that if the Xuzhou direction does not accept the victims, a large number of victims will come from the Xuzhou direction.

When the news from all over the world came to Su Xiu's desk like snowflakes, Su Xiu was also the first two big. Su Xiu never thought that the situation was much more serious than what he had originally thought. It's a shame that Su Xiu had some preparations at the beginning, otherwise just this first wave of refugees would have turned Taishan upside down.

The flood of victims caught Su Xiu off guard, but Su Xiu couldn't let it go, so he had to issue an order to let all localities find ways to divert the victims, and called on the people of the county to take out a part of the grain to support the victims.

That night, after the discussion between Su Xiu and Xi Zhicai, it was decided to start the road construction plan immediately, otherwise the situation would be even more difficult to control when the next batch of disaster victims poured in.

The next day, Su Xiuxin's order quickly spread to all parts of Mount Tai:

Anyone who can read and hyphenate characters, knows the art of disambiguation, and can build houses with wrought iron can go to the county government to wait for arrangements; All young and vigorous victims can sign up for road construction at the local county office; Those who are willing to join the army can also go to the county recruitment office to register for screening, and those who have labor can register locally and wait for the government to distribute the land; All the elderly, weak, women and children, as well as those who have lost the ability to work, are to wait for the government to resettle them after registration.

As soon as the decree was issued, refugees from all over the country cheered and rushed to tell each other. The local people of Mount Tai also felt that the county keeper had called Mount Tai, which had indeed made everyone live a good life, and they all responded to the call and took the initiative to help the victims.

In order to deal with possible turmoil, Su Xiu even did not hesitate to put some of the officers and soldiers hidden in the cottage into the public eye to help maintain law and order in various places.

At the same time, the academy and medical center prepared by Su Xiu are also under construction overtime, and the entire Taishan County has entered the process of high-speed operation due to the influx of refugees from Qingzhou.

Su Xiu has a headache now, just in the morning, Xi Zhicai told him that the government's grain inventory may not last until the autumn grain is put into storage, even if the previous military income is added, it can at most maintain the current batch of refugees for the winter, and this is still to ensure that no next batch of refugees will enter Mount Tai.

You must know that it is only mid-August, and if you can't put the autumn grain into storage, it means that the government will definitely not have more than 100,000 stone of grain. You must know that before the influx of refugees, there were nearly 400,000 stone of grain in the government, and in less than a month, nearly 300,000 stone were consumed, which is quite a terrible figure.

"Zhicai, how long will it take for the relief food from the imperial court to arrive?" After learning about the disaster in Qingzhou, Su Xiu sent people to Luoyang and spent a lot of money to ask Zhang Rang to help deal with the situation, hoping to move some food to deal with the entry of the victims. But it's been two months, and there's still no response.

"The imperial court is estimated to be unreliable, I heard that it was because of the Qingzhou disaster that the Taiwei Zhang Huan was dismissed, but when it comes to disaster relief food, they are all passing the buck to each other, and it is not easy to allocate a million stone of grain, and it is estimated that there will not be many people who can be distributed to our side, and this is still a situation where officials at all levels above do not look too ugly."

"What then? Do you want to find Mi Jia again? Let's not talk about whether they still have food in stock, even if they do, it is estimated that there is not much. In less than a month, three groups of refugees have poured in, and there should be one or two more in the future. ”

Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly: "No way, this is also why we didn't expect that there would be so many refugees, and the previous preparation was completely insufficient." ”

"In this way, Zhicai, you go to the rich merchants of Mount Tai, let them do something, and they sounded the alarm when they suppressed the bandits, and now is the time for them to stand in line; I plucked out of my own. If you can slow down a little time, you can slow down a little time. In addition, the whole county was notified that it is strictly forbidden to brew wine without permission for the time being, and the offenders will be punished severely, and I will think of a way to do the rest. ”

"That's it."

Sleepless all night, Su Xiu got up early the next day and sent someone to contact Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, asking them to help purchase grain, whether it was cattle and sheep on the grassland or rich businessmen in other states and counties, as long as they could fill their stomachs now.

And Su Xiu himself arranged various affairs of Mount Tai and once again embarked on the road west to Luoyang.
