Chapter Eighty-Four: The Chaotic Ink City
For Liu Yi's refusal, Lu Meng obviously had already prepared, so after Liu Yi's words were spoken, Lu Meng didn't force it, but said: "In this case, if I want to go to Mocheng with my husband, my family governor hopes to customize some objects with my husband." ”
Naturally, if there is business, you can't refuse, Liu Yi nodded and said: "Then please wait here, the speed of the ship is now, and we can arrive in Mocheng in three days, and you and I will talk in detail at that time." ”
Liu Yi knew that Lu Meng was worried about the meticulous work of other forces on this ship, so he didn't say much, but just asked Liu Sandao to arrange for a group of people to rest, and wait until they arrived in Mocheng, and then discuss, what requirements would be made for Zhou Yu, the big customer, Liu Yi was still very curious in his heart.
In fact, Zhou Yu's order this time is not large, at least it did not meet Liu Yi's expectations, and it can probably equip thousands of people's combat materials, including arrow clusters, bows, shields and some relatively simple armor, and it is not even as much as Liu Bei's last order, which should be regarded as a temptation.
After all, compared to Xiangyang, there will be a lot fewer news channels in Jiangdong, and the speed of news transmission in this era is not high, not to mention that Jingzhou has always been in a hostile state with Jiangdong, which also limits the speed of news delivery, and Zhou Yu just wants to see Liu Yi's ability at present.
Lu Meng didn't stay in Mocheng for long, and after a beautiful meal, he was a little reluctant to leave, and it seemed that he had to wait for a while.
"Sir, is this population still acceptable?" Liu Sandao came to Liu Yi's side and asked.
"Pick it up, why not?" Liu Yi asked rhetorically as he stepped on the ship.
At present, the population of this Mocheng is also more than 10,000, but there are not many opportunities like this, Liu Yi is ready to take it a few times, for others, the homeless people are a burden, but for him, this represents infinite wealth.
"Sir, this time, I'll go." Liu Sandao hurriedly grabbed Liu Yi.
"Why is that?" Liu Yi looked at Liu Sandao suspiciously, if it weren't for the fact that he was in a hurry to pick up people, he wouldn't have to send Lu Meng away so quickly, after all, he was also the main contact person in Jiangdong.
"General Wei came over just now and said that there are some people in the city who can't be managed, so I must leave you behind, and as for picking up people, I will go." Liu Sandao said.
Before Liu Yi received Lu Meng, Wei Yue found Liu Sandao, these days he is about to go crazy, and it is the feeling that the busier he is, the more directionless, those people in the city have all kinds of problems, eating, drinking, and Lazar, many times it is not enough to solve it with food, anyway, Wei Yue feels that he can't deal with it, and he tried to cut off a few thorns, but it didn't have much effect, so he could only come and ask Liu Yi to stay and help.
Liu Yi thought about it, then nodded and said, "Okay, you go and hand over to that Xiahou Bo." ”
He has already had two experiences, whether it is the displaced people in the Fancheng area, Liu Sandao and Xiahou Bo, they are already skilled enough in how to accept refugees, and there is no need for him to follow them every time.
Saying goodbye to Liu Sandao, Liu Yi quickly found Wei Yue, who was already so busy that his brain began to collapse outward, and did not go to see him immediately, but just wanted to see how Wei Yue handled things.
"General, the displaced people who have settled down in the city are starting to get restless again, they say that the food is too bad, and they want to cook in the same kettle as us."
"Where does the Heavenly Workshop have the time to help them cook?" Wei Yue scratched his head with a headache and said, "Tell them no, if you want to, go to the Heavenly Workshop to do it yourself." ”
"General!" Before the man could leave, another soldier rushed in and gasped, "The people in the north of the city are fighting with the people who are in charge of cleaning the streets. ”
"Then let the people who clean the streets withdraw, and if they dare to chase them, they will directly kill people!" Wei Yue roared with red eyes.
"General, those people in the west of the city don't think there is enough food to eat, do they continue to open warehouses to release grain?" Someone else came in.
Wei Yue felt that his head seemed to have become two for a while, opening a warehouse and putting grain? It was okay at first, but now, if you continue like this, I'm afraid that the grain stocks that Liu Yi got before won't be able to support next year's autumn harvest.
"I'll do it." Liu Yi sighed, walked in, and said to Wei Yue.
"Sir, you're finally here!" Seeing Liu Yi, Wei Yue felt as if he had seen a relative, and hurriedly stood up and grabbed Liu Yi.
"From now on, post the list." Liu Yi nodded, looked at the herald who had not yet left, and said: "All refugees are only provided with two bowls of porridge a day, and if they want to eat more, they need to rely on labor to obtain them, and in addition, the houses in the city are only temporarily borrowed for their residence, and if they want to obtain them permanently, they also need to rely on labor in exchange." ”
"Sir, they are unwilling to open a warehouse to release grain, don't you force them to rebel by doing this?" Wei Yue looked at Liu Yi with a wry smile.
"First of all, the general must know that people's hearts will never be satisfied, especially those who are used to receiving, he will take your giving for granted, and chaos will definitely be chaotic, but if you continue like this, it will not be enough to sell Mocheng." Liu Yi shook his head, in fact, Mocheng has the attribute of returning to the hearts of all the people, as long as it is managed properly, there should be no current problems.
But Wei Yue is so simple and rude, and the other party tries to meet their needs as much as possible, so that these people's mentality is a little unbalanced, and the rules are not established, so it will cause the current chaotic scene, if you want to calm down quickly, you have to kill this idea of taking it for granted, and then you can say anything else.
"How can there be so many things for them to do in this city?" Wei Yue smiled bitterly.
"Why not? Sweeping the streets, cutting trees, digging ditches, carrying goods......" Liu Yi looked at Wei Yue and said: "These people are idle, they have hands and feet, and they come to support themselves. ”
"It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, to give food to food, to ask for money to give money can only solve the problem for a while, give them something to do, they will feel down-to-earth."
This kind of thing is for work, Cao Cao has already done it, and the effect is obviously good, and now Liu Yi has probably made some changes that echo the status quo of Mocheng, and then release it, the effect should not be too bad.
"Order the soldiers to come out, and those who take the lead in making trouble will be killed immediately!" At the end, Liu Yiyun summed up lightly.
In the face of such a situation, blindly caring about human life will only make things worse, remove some thorns, deter the people, and let them do things in the direction they give, so that they can exchange for long-term peace and put Mocheng on the right track.
