Chapter 457: The Real People Fill the Side
I walked around the tent area a few times, and although I went to every tent in detail, I found that there was a thin blanket inside. As long as the refugees come in, they can rest in peace. In addition, the floor was sprinkled with lime and basically disinfected.
And each tent area has a separate open-air toilet. In terms of hygiene, it is in line with the epidemic prevention regulations advocated by Tai Hospital.
In addition, not far from the camp tent, several deep wells were dug separately. It not only alleviates the problem of drinking water for refugees, but also provides a boost for the development of Guankou Town in the future.
"Not bad! The most scarce thing in the town is a well, and it's good that you can make three in a row. Zhang Timing was very satisfied, so he praised it a few more times. Tim was so excited that his face turned red.
He tried his best to keep himself calm, and responded: "It's still the secret sympathy between Erman and Ne'er, and some of the gunpowder they stored there has been allocated to the pass." In just a few days, three deep wells were drilled. ”。
Qierman and Neer are towns that developed a long time ago. Among them, Naer is still a small city with walls. Now, with the increase in population, both places have been upgraded to counties. At the same time, the number of towns like the pass has also increased.
It's just that some places, like the pass, are far away from the water, and the draft is difficult. In order to solve this problem, the Ministry of Works allowed each county guard to declare the amount of gunpowder so that it could be transferred to the local area to dig wells for water.
However, the size of the town of Guankou is too small, and the amount of gunpowder is limited. Therefore, it has always been difficult for Tim to apply for gunpowder for the town of Guankou. The influx of refugees and the arrival of Zhang Timing made the weight of Guankou Town suddenly become important.
Therefore, Tim bought gunpowder, which was difficult to obtain before, and this time he easily transferred it.
In order to make good use of it, Tim Maimai drilled three wells in one go. Once and for all, solve the draft problem of Guankou Town in the future.
Zhang Timing didn't have the heart to explore this cause and effect, so when he heard this, he only thought that Tim Maimai was not merit and was not proud. In my heart, I appreciate it even more.
At this moment, there was an explosion in the sky. I saw that the already gloomy sky was even darker. Blue lightning shuttled through the clouds, hideous and terrifying.
"Da Diwan, let's get back to town quickly. This rain is unspeakable, it is about to fall. ", Tim said with concern. Although he still wanted to stay with Zhang Timing for a while longer, the heavenly prince was not beautiful, so he could only persuade him to leave against his will.
"No problem! It's been a long time since it's rained, and I'm happy when I'm wet. Zhang Timing said with a smile. Tim had no choice but to smile, and continued: "Then the pass, can it be released?" ”。
"Hmmm! Now that the tents are ready, let them go. If you enter the customs, you don't have to rush to do it now. After they are all settled, just send more people to help with it. Zhang Timing thought that the refugees came in earlier, so they could take shelter from the rain. He nodded and agreed.
Tim Maimai answered yes and was about to go down on errands. Zhang Timing thought of something, and said again: "Wait! Two more border troops were sent around the tent. Let them patrol inside and outside at all times to prevent trouble. Also, refugees are not allowed to leave until they have received directions. Even if you want to leave, you have to listen to the will of the Anmin Division. ”。
Lu Yin is an important customs clearance document for walking in the territory of Khorasan. At important gates and cities, they will be inspected. Especially at a time of the influx of refugees into Khorasan, inspections have become more stringent. In the past, refugees had entered Khorasan through the water and other places. But there was no way, and it was quickly discovered. Volunteers, who are then fined for one year, are required to work in official Khorasan workshops for free for one year.
Although it does not starve to death, it is too costly for refugees who have access to road guidance and a way to earn money through formal channels. So many refugees would rather wait at the border than get directions.
It's just that there are too many refugees this time, so the border doesn't dare to open up all at once. At the same time, it is also to buy time for the security department so that they can come up with a way to resettle as soon as possible.
After all, the sudden influx of refugees into the interior of Khorasan can easily cause social problems such as deterioration of public order, rising prices, lower labor costs, and reduced workers' incomes. If it is not handled well, it is very easy to cause confrontation and hostility between regions.
Therefore, Khorasan will never allow these refugees to move freely.
It just so happened that Li Chengji conquered a large territory of Gur and Sindh, and the place was in turmoil and war, and the population of that place was greatly reduced. It is a newly annexed land, and the people do not have a high sense of identification with Khorasan. So they were resettled to enrich the local population. At the same time, it also has certain benefits for the rule of Khorasan.
This was the decision Lee Seung-ji made as soon as he heard the news of the massive influx of refugees into Khorasan. The Ministry of Security, which is in charge of resettling the migrants, also immediately carried out Lee's order. For refugees or fugitive slaves from various places, we will take measures to preferentially resettle Gul and Sindh.
Of course, if the refugees knew the news, they would not have been willing to do so. After all, Gul and Sindh are extremely foreign places to them. With the fear of the unknown, they naturally do not want to go.
But they didn't have a choice!
After all, neither the Western Qarakhanid nor the Great Liao are peaceful, and the only one who can rely on them is Khorasan. In addition, considering their emotions, Anmin Division will not reveal the resettlement location so quickly. So these refugees are destined to enrich the land of Gur and the land of faith.
For these, Tim Maimai did not know. But even if he knew, he didn't bother to pay attention. When I came to the pass, the boundary composed of earthen walls mixed with barbed wire firmly blocked the refugees who could not see the end of the pass town.
It was not built in Khorasan, but in the Western Qarakhanid. And at the beginning of the establishment of Khorasan, Taohuashi Khan Osman suggested it to Li Chengji. On the surface, it is said that it is to prevent border disputes between the Western Qarakhanid State and the Khorasan State, which will damage the friendly relations between the two countries. But in fact, it was Taohuashi Khan who was afraid of Li Chengji's encroachment step by step, so he was impatient to build a border wall.
It was also at the beginning that the border between Khorasan and the Western Qarakhanid was actually in the beginning. But as time went on, more and more Khorasan herders migrated to the upper reaches of the water. Slowly, some of the lower khanate villages began to appear as Khorasan herdsmen. There were many fights between the two sides over pastures and land, so that the border gradually did not stop.
At the same time, Khorasan's policy of reassuring the people attracted many low-class people such as slaves who had lost their freedom, landless peasants, herdsmen who had no fixed residence, and craftsmen who had a difficult life. As a result, they used various methods to escape from the Western Qarakhanid and became Khorasan.
In addition, some villages and tribes near Khorasan also collectively switched to Khorasan.
