Chapter 157: Placement Box

Xiakou, the convoy of assassins marched towards the state government, Zhou Fashang sat in the car and fell into thought, the first batch of people who moved from the Chang'an area of Guanzhong had been successfully settled, but this was only the beginning, and there were many things to be done one after another.

In just over a month, the house must be repaired to resettle the people, and only the wooden house can be used for emergency.

The rows of wooden houses are neat and pleasing to the eye, but if one day the water runs out of the water, it will cause a tragedy, and in a matter of moments, the settlements where the people are housed will be burned to the ground.

If there is an adobe house, it is safer to live in, but the time to build the adobe house is urgent, not to mention that it is not in time, and in the summer, if it rains heavily, the hastily built adobe house can easily collapse.

At that time, the whole family will die as soon as they die, which is not much better than being buried in the fire, so Zhou Fashang knows that it is only an expedient measure to arrange for the people to live in wooden houses at present, and they will have to build houses and resettle them in the future.

Building an adobe house depends on the weather, and it is not easy to build a house in the summer when it rains, and it will take nearly half a year after the autumn harvest, during which time the fire prevention in the settlement is still a big problem.

Not to mention that there are people moving in the follow-up, according to Yu Wenwen's statement, the cumulative number is nearly 10,000, as soon as he thinks of this number, Zhou Fashang has a headache, and at the same time he is excited.

Farming and war are inseparable from people, Ezhou has experienced war and sparse population, and the people of Xiakou City are few, so the grain output cannot be increased, and it cannot support too many troops, and military food has to be transported from other places.

There are few troops, the war is overstretched, the number of households is small, there is a shortage of manpower for new water conservancy on weekdays, there are no water conservancy facilities, it is delusional to open up wasteland and farm, and there is no need to think about making a difference.

A total of nearly 15,000 families moved to Xiakou, Ezhou, as long as they survived the first year, the water conservancy facilities were repaired and the wasteland was reclaimed, and the situation in Ezhou would open up after the harvest, so Zhou Fashang decided to hold on no matter what.

He failed to participate in the war against Sui, and if he wanted to make contributions in the future, he had to participate in the war against Chen, as long as he spent two or three years of hard work in Ezhou to cultivate and recuperate and hoard grain and grass, then when the imperial court moved troops against Chen, it was the time for him to show his skills.

However, the problem to be solved now is how to resettle the next group of people who are about to go south.

While thinking about it, the car had arrived at the state office, and Zhou Fashang got out of the car and went straight to the conference hall, where there were already people waiting for a long time.

There are officials dressed in official uniforms and soap clothes, and there are also officials dressed in ordinary cloth clothes, according to the arrangement, they want to discuss here, and the presiding officer is naturally Zhou Fashang, who is the assassin of history, and now the main lord has appeared, and the talks have begun after everyone saluted.

"Thanks to your strong support, the people have now settled down smoothly, and the official is deeply grateful."

Speaking of which, Zhou Fashang turned to the topic: "Four thousand households is just the beginning, everyone also knows that there will be people moving in the future, and the official has already received the exact news, with a total of more than 10,000 households, are you ready?" ”

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of the people present were different, most of the officials were surprised, and the cloth clothes were all happy, they were all the shopkeepers of the Huangzhou workshop, and now there is a huge business opportunity in front of them, how can people not be moved?

"10,000 households, no less than 50,000 people, will arrive in Ezhou within a few months, mainly to settle in Xiakou, most of the required expenses need to be solved by the government, according to the previous story, the official naturally wants to ask..."

Zhou Fashang looked around at the people present, and then said solemnly: "The resettlement of the people is very important, do you have the ability to do the next?" ”

"Rest assured, we will do our best!"

"There is no basis for the words, what happened to the things that were discussed before?"

In the face of Zhou Fashang's question, an official stepped forward and replied: "Envoy, we have carefully finalized the relevant details with your shopkeepers, please make your eyes clear..."

He led Zhou Fashang to a desk with a long wooden box next to it, which was made to efficiently resettle the people: the resettlement box.

The resettlement box, as the name suggests, is a box to be used when relocating the people, which contains relevant items, and the official opened the box and asked people to take out the contents of the box one by one and put them on the table, and at the same time explained to Zhou Fashang.

In order to resettle the people, clothing, food, housing, and transportation must be solved, and the resettlement boxes are based on "households", and the contents can meet the basic needs of a family after settling down.

In order to ensure redundancy, the resettlement box is prepared based on six people in a household (two old, two large and two small), and the first preparation is related to "food".

The people of Guanzhong came all the way to Xiakou in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was unlikely that they could carry tableware and cooking utensils with them, and the corresponding items were prepared in the resettlement box: six wooden bowls, wooden plates, bamboo cups, and wooden spoons, six pairs of bamboo chopsticks, and a pair of rice cookers and retorts.

These things can meet the basic needs of cooking, eating, and drinking.

Next is the "clothes", four sets of adult clothes, two sets of children's clothes, of course, the size is larger and cannot fit, you need to cut it yourself, and the clothes are cheap and beautiful Huangzhou cloth.

There are also six cloth towels, how to use them at will, after all, the poor family is not as particular as the rich family.

Then there is "living", two straw mats, six bedding, sewn according to the size of adults, it is impossible to say how warm it is, but the quality is acceptable; There are two wooden basins, two barrels and two scoops, and one foot of hemp rope as thick as a little finger.

There is a sewing kit, which contains six iron needles and six rolls of twine, which are considered daily necessities, and as for the "line", six pairs of straw sandals.

Everything can be packed into long wooden boxes that can be moved by two adults to meet the needs of a family who has come from afar to settle down, giving the settled people time to slowly add other supplies.

This novel "packaging" method will provide great help for the resettlement work, and how many "resettlement boxes" will be prepared for the number of households settled.

The government sets the number of resettlement boxes needed, and all items are packed in a unified manner according to the list, and the government sends someone to supervise them, make sure that they are correct, affix seals, and transport them to the settlements for distribution.

When a family settles down, a resettlement box is distributed to ensure basic daily necessities, and food is distributed separately, which saves a lot of trouble.

Save trouble but not money, so many resettlement boxes are purchased by the government, which is a net loss on the books, but a careful calculation is a big profit: population, is a priceless treasure.

There are nearly 15,000 households, and if the population of Ezhou increases by 15,000 according to the rate of natural population growth, it will take about several decades in peacetime, and it is not more cost-effective to spend this money to stabilize the population of 15,000 households.

Zhou Fashang was very satisfied with the "creativity" of the resettlement box, and he was even more satisfied with the fact that the treasurers in Huangzhou were about to make a contract with the state government to prepare 10,000 resettlement boxes on time and in quantity, and if there was any delay, ten times the compensation.

In black and white, I am not afraid of the other party's breach of contract, and no one dares to breach the contract, not to mention that this matter is very important, it is for this big order, the workshop owner in Huangzhou must rush to work day and night.

Picking up a wooden bowl, Zhou Fashang carefully examined it, a set of six wooden bowls can be tightly stacked together, and the size of each bowl is almost exactly the same after separation, not only wooden bowls, but also wooden dishes and spoons.

There are a lot of them, but the size is exactly the same, which is not something that can be done by manpower, and Zhou Fashang knows that the carpentry workshop in Huangzhou has a unique skill, that is, a water-powered "lathe".

A hydraulic lathe can make dozens of identical bowls, saucers and spoons in a single day.

Not only that, but a water-powered sawing machine can easily sawn wood into pieces of the same size, which are used to make barrels or pots, and long pieces of bamboo are sawn to make cups and chopsticks.

Not to mention the production of wooden crates, even the construction of wooden houses is very trouble-free, the wood of Dabie Mountain is transported to Xiyang City along the Bashui to be sliced, and then loaded to Xiakou with the iron nails made by Huangzhou supervisor, which is very convenient to use.

The iron sand selected from the Bashui River sand, as well as the application of hydraulic wire drawing machine, provides convenience for Huangzhou Jian to produce cheap iron nails in large quantities, thanks to the perfect water conservancy facilities, all kinds of workshops in Xiyang, Huangzhou, use water power, batch to make many products, which is not available elsewhere.

10,000 resettlement boxes, in which the required items can be made and packed in Xiyang City, Huangzhou, and then transported to Xiakou by ship for later use, Zhou Fashang felt for the first time what Yuwenwen called "the power of the workshop".

In order to settle the migrants, a sufficient number of resettlement boxes can be prepared in just over a month, in other words, the "military supply boxes" that prepare tens of thousands of troops are nothing for Huangzhou, right? (To be continued.) )
