Chapter 44 Resettlement of Disaster Victims

More than 1,500 people changed boats at the canal ferry in the evening, Gu Haotian let everyone use dry food, and the people who were monitoring the Dong family's fleet reported that the Dong family's ship had returned in a hurry, so they ordered the fleet to go north along the canal to Liangshan.

There was no word all night, and by dawn the fleet had entered the Jeju ground. The more than 1,000 victims have been carefully cared for by the people of Liangshan in the past few days, not to mention that they are full, and the people on each boat will greet everyone with each other, and they will be like a family with everyone in just a few days.

Therefore, the boat went north and everyone didn't care much, and some people asked the reason, and the crew on the ship put the responsibility on the Dong family, saying that the Dong family did not explain it clearly, and intentionally or unintentionally revealed some of the Dong family's evil deeds of embezzling relief grain. Some shrewd people thought about why the Dong family had a sudden kindness and paid to send them to other places, because they were afraid that their ugly deeds would be exposed. So word of mouth spread that when the ship entered Liangshan, it spread throughout the entire fleet, and they were all scolding the Dong family for being inferior to pigs and dogs.

When the boat docked at the Golden Beach Wharf, Wen Huanzhang and Xiao Rang had already led people to clean up two houses in the Golden Beach, boiled hot water inside, and set up tables outside to register. When they got together again, the victims looked at each other and felt as if they had changed into a different person, and they all thought that this owner was indeed unusual.

When more than 1,000 people went up the mountain, it was dinner time, all the way to the smoke everywhere, the road was clean and tidy, the wife welcomed the husband, the mother called the son back, a leisurely peach source scene. Only the victims of the disaster were envious, and those who were anxious looked to the people who were already familiar with the ship to inquire about their situation.

"Don't worry, those people were also victims of the disaster in Hebei two months ago, and they were even more unbearable than you when they first came, and everyone can see the situation now. In our Liangshan, as long as everyone is willing to work hard, they can live a good life. ”

Following the guidance of the mountain personnel, they came to their respective residences, and saw that the family was fully furnished, food rations were provided, and even young people were helping to carry water to the water tank. When these victims saw such good people, some of them took out some small objects to express their gratitude, but the answer they received was all the same: "Our guards don't take a stitch from the people." ”

If the explanation of the crew members just now made these people still a little skeptical, now they have put their hearts back in their stomachs.

A lot of people are thinking: this is a dream.

Li Kui's home was also temporarily placed in the barracks in Qianshan, and this time he stayed in Yishui County, but he didn't get any chance to make a move, and he was very depressed. But when he saw Cuigu's affectionate eyes and the happy smiles of his family, and he was in a good mood again, he thought, he had to hurry up and find a junior official to do an errand, otherwise how could he be at ease.

At this moment, Gu Haotian was discussing the matter on the mountain with Wen Huanzhang.

Yishui and his entourage brought back more than 1,500 people, and the people of Gujiazhuang and the mountains recruited about 500 more people from the neighboring villages, and there were 2,000 more people on the mountain at once. These people certainly can't eat in the mountains, so how to settle these people has become a top priority.

There was a plan for the resettlement of the hungry people in the spring famine, but it was not estimated that so many people would be recruited at once, or even more than double the original population on the mountain, and this was not only a matter of resettlement, but also had to do a good job of integrating the old and new personnel.

Gu Haotian and Wen Huanzhang discussed for a long time, and decided that the first step was to settle the personnel first, and then take care of the follow-up fusion matters.

More than half of the 2,000 new arrivals are young and strong, and expanding the escort force is still the top priority, and it just so happens that the 300-odd people originally recruited from the displaced people have been trained for nearly two months, and they can be transferred from recruits to regular members to join the escort team, so this time they can recruit young people to re-enter the training camp for training.

Most of the remaining prime-aged people still have to enter Tao Zongwang's infrastructure army. At present, the largest team on Liangshan is the infrastructure team, which originally had seven or eight hundred infrastructure personnel on the mountain, and if they join again, there will be 1,400 or 500, which is also a large-scale infrastructure company in later generations. Now that it is a blink of an eye, Gu Haotian is very much looking forward to the development of the back mountain, which he has already explained, and if possible, he wants to separate the military and civilian living places in the near future.

"Haotian, for the teacher, it is appropriate to have about 1,000 infrastructure personnel. The population of the mountain is now close to 4,000, and it is also a large market town at the foot of the mountain, and it is not conducive to the long-term production of the mountain, so all walks of life should be arranged in the mode of the market town, and agriculture, animal husbandry, fishery, and commerce are indispensable. Although there is no grain produced on this mountain, the vast water is rich in fish, which is another granary, so that women can raise livestock, let some skilled people make daily necessities, and also run some shops, so that the people on the mountain can live and work in peace and contentment. ”

"What the master said is very much in line with me, the disciple originally wanted to wait for the various walks of life on the mountain to take shape, and then change the payment of grain to money, so as to promote the circulation between the various lines, Liangshan is an isolated island, it is inconvenient for the people to go out, and the business can only be operated by designating suitable personnel, and other industries only need to set some rules."

In fact, Wen Huanzhang's suggestion is also what Gu Haotian thinks, otherwise thousands of energetic men and women on the mountain can only rest at sunrise and sunset every day, and after a long time, I am afraid that it will be a pool of stagnant water, but all this can only be implemented when the residential area in the back mountain is completed, and he is now very eager to go to the back mountain to see.

It was late, and the two of them had a hasty dinner, and then gathered all the stewards and leaders on the mountain to discuss the matter.

"This time, I went to the canal to pick up these people in Yishui, and found that many of them live by the Yihe River, and they are all water, and they just happened to enter the water army." Ruan Xiaoer was the first to speak, seeing that the infantry army was about to enter in large numbers again, how could he be willing.

"Eighty people in the horse army is far from enough, originally because there were few people, I was embarrassed to say more, but now that there are more people, there are still many people in Hebei who know how to horse, which will have to be left to the cavalry." Zhou Yunqing also hurriedly said.

"What's the matter, all the training has been given to you, so we can only keep some novices in the infantry army." But he refused.

"The teaching team is not to increase the number of people, but this time more than 300 new members will become an army, and there must be some people who will lead the troops.

What Ma Qiang said was an old saying. Gu Haotian didn't expect this rough man to think of this, and he was very pleased.

"Brother Ma Qiang is worried, and the people of the teaching team only need to come to our infantry to ensure that the arrangements are properly arranged."

Before he finished speaking, he was besieged by Zhou Yunqing and Ruan Xiaowu, and the people in the teaching team didn't want it.

Several people quarreled, Gu Haotian thought that it was a good thing to have competition, but he stopped them, and immediately announced the plan discussed with Wen Huanzhang.

The number of sailors increased to 300, and 100 people were stationed in the back mountain, and Ruan Xiaowu was in charge; The number of cavalry was increased to one hundred and fifty, and they were allowed to be selected first among all members; There will be no increase or decrease in the personnel of the teaching team and the logistics department, and the rest will be used as infantry troops, and the leading personnel at all levels of the army will be given priority in the first literacy class.

Since the matter is a foregone conclusion, it is useless to quarrel, but Zhou Yunqing was entangled by Ji Sheng, Sun An and others, so he had to treat him.

The rest is the civil arrangement, Tao Zongwang's infrastructure team is a large employer on the mountain, Gu Haotian asked first.

"Brother Zongwang, how is the construction on the mountain progressing, is there enough manpower?"

"Minor officials, now there are more than 750 people in the infrastructure on the mountain, and the barracks in the front mountain have been built the most, if the people are moved to the back mountain, the barracks can accommodate more than 3,000 people, so it will be suspended below. At present, the focus is on the construction of the main hall and the back mountain, and the main hall has arranged more than 100 people, no matter how much it is, it is not enough, and the rest of the people have been working in the back mountain for nearly two months. Now that the middle avenue has been connected, more than 200 houses have been built in each of the many settlements, more than 10 single-person apartments have been built as mentioned by the petty officials, and more than 10 buildings have been built in the family quarters of the stewards and leaders. Tao Zongwang is on the construction site all day long, and he knows every brick and tile added to the mountain.

Honka's brewery more than doubled in size when it was moved to the mountains, and he proposed to add another fifty or sixty people, which is now sufficient.

Business can only be run by the management of the mountain itself, to put it bluntly, it is operated by the Gu family's designated person, Gu Haotian wants Gu Bai to do it, after he came back from the Li Jia Daokou Hotel, he is now Gu Song's deputy, and he is also skilled in business. His vision was to open a shopping mall similar to a post-supermarket to meet the living needs of the residents of the mountain.

Fishing fleets and livestock farms are the best ways to absorb women and middle-aged and elderly people. Gu Haotian already has a suitable candidate in his heart for the fishing team, that is, Ma Laosan, he could have fished, and he was also loyal to the Gu family. In the future, the aquaculture industry will ensure the supply of meat and eggs in the mountains, which is also a very critical industry, but he can't think of a suitable manager.

"Chickens, ducks, pigs, and sheep are no better than fishing, and they only need to carve out a few pieces of land on the mountain, and then the people will organize them themselves, and the logistics department can only buy them." Honka made a suggestion.

"I'm just worried that when everyone competes to participate, it will cause disputes, so it is better to let the logistics department be responsible for distribution and management." Gu Haotian set the tone, just waiting for the day after tomorrow to draw a suitable location.

Everything was agreed, Gu Haotian was about to call everyone to disperse, but Xiao Rang, who had not spoken, spoke.

"Food and accommodation can be expedient, but there is one thing that is about to be done on the mountain, the day before yesterday, a member of the team suddenly fainted in a literacy class, and someone used the earthwork to wake up, otherwise I really don't know how to be good, now the more people on the mountain, it is inevitable that there will be three disasters and six diseases, find a wise doctor to sit in the mountain to practice medicine, and it will be slow again."

Doctor—what a negligent one.

Everyone realized the urgency of this matter, and sat down together, but there was no good clue after a while, and the wise and famous would not be willing to go up the mountain under normal circumstances, and it was useless to invite those who were impatient, and there was no such person among the acquaintances of everyone.

Gu Haotian has two candidates in his heart, one is the divine doctor An Daoquan, this person is currently far away in Jinling, and it is impossible for a while. The other is his old acquaintance, Dr. Gao of Yuncheng County, whose level is also passable, but he doesn't know if he wants to come, so he will ask his father to explore, otherwise it will be okay to use some means.
