0534: Refugee influx

When the order was issued against these fleeing civilians, it immediately caused an uproar. It's just that in the face of the threat of Ma Tengjun, many people obediently returned to their places of residence after hesitating for a while. After all, if all their belongings were to be confiscated, they could not afford it. After all, if you have nothing to live in a foreign country, it may be better to be alone, but if you are a family, it is very difficult to survive.

But despite this, it's not that no one still goes to Li Yi's territory, it's just that these people are mostly poor people who are already poor, even if they are confiscated money, there is not much difference for them, as long as they can protect themselves, everything else is easy to say.

Of course, they weren't worried that Li Yi would harm them, although in this era, it seemed to be a common thing to let soldiers loot places after the city was broken, but over the years, Li Yiping had a yellow scarf, begging Dong Zhuo, and then taking advantage of Dong Zhuo's killing to attack Hedong and Hongnong, there had never been any intrusion on the people after the city was broken.

This point has long been spread all over the world through word of mouth, and it is also one of the reasons why Li Yi's reputation is so high and a large number of people take refuge. After all, they can be so kind to the people in the place they have just taken, let alone the people in the territory.

And the reason why they still left Sanfu and Hongnong was because they were worried that if the war was unfavorable, Ma Teng would probably force them to help defend the city. After all, Na Ma Teng and Dong Zhuo are both from Liangzhou, and over the years, because of Dong Zhuo's relationship, Liangzhou people are not very good in the eyes of many people. Moreover, Ma Teng is still a rebel, and he is a person ♀ who betrays the lord and kills the master, so it seems that it is not impossible to do anything, let alone just pull strong men from the people.

Puban County, Hedong County.

Looking at the more than 1,000 people outside the city who were empty-handed and dusty, and Zhao Yun, who was transferred from Jayang to Pusaka, was silent, he never thought that after Li Yi officially declared war on Ma Teng, the first thing he would face was this situation.

"Prefectural order, what should I do now?" A county magistrate asked. Since Li Yi's tax reform, there have been countless people from all over the country who have rushed to settle in the areas under Li Yi's rule, and among them, there are not including the people who have nothing and only have a little food. But that is a very rare case, and mostly young and vigorous young men, will never be a problem to deal with.

But now, this is the case with more than 1,000 people in front of him, and there are many old people, women and children ♀, Rao is this county official has dealt with many people who have moved here or plan to move north to merge with the state, and now it feels quite tricky.

"Open the gates!" After Zhao Yun was silent for a long time, he said in a somewhat hoarse tone.

"County order, this is thousands of people!" Hearing Zhao Yun's words, many county officials on the side were immediately shocked.

"Open the gates!" Zhao Yun's calm voice sounded again, but this time, his tone was filled with firmness that he had not seen just now.

"Send men at the gates of the city to examine the people and have them identify each other, so that no spies may take advantage of them. In addition, he ordered people to prepare dry food and broth to help these people, and then sent people to Anyi to inform Gaofujun of the matter. Zhao Yun kept commanding.

Although "Nuo" was a little unwilling, these county officials did not dare to disobey Zhao Yun's order, so they had to follow the order.

At the same time, Zhang Liao and Guan Yu in Huangchi both encountered the same situation, and their reactions were no different from Zhao Yun's, they all accepted these people, even if they spent a lot of money and food for this.

"Hmph, G Ma Teng was able to come up with such a shameless trick, no wonder he was able to control Chang'an so quickly!" Lu Bu looked at the information from Guan Yu and snorted coldly.

"Fujun, this matter must be well formulated, otherwise with the increase of such people, the consumption of our army is afraid" Xu Shu said with a stern expression.

Although there are only a few thousand people who have fled to Li Yi's territory today, who knows if this will be just the beginning? If the passage of time and the start of the war lead to more people fleeing. At that time, God knew if Lu Bu and Gao Shun alone could afford to support these people.

"Let's do it, let the people who fled from Huangchi move to Luoyang to settle down↓ The good lord plans to rebuild Luoyang, and I am worried that there are too few people to build." Lu Bu groaned, but when he said this, his expression wrinkled. Well, the problem of resettlement of the people is simple, after all, there are too many barren places under Li Yi's rule that lack people to open up the wasteland, and the difficulty lies in how to deal with the livelihood of these people.

These people are dragged with families and have no belongings, and they are clearly needed to arrange their livelihoods. After all, not everyone can survive without anything, let alone a large number of old people and children. So the question arises, suppose a person needs an average of about one and a half stones of food a month, even if he dies to eat, one stone is always needed, right? A thousand people is a thousand stones a month, but what about ten thousand? And now that the war is about to start, the consumption of food will skyrocket

"Yuanzhi, what do you think?" Lu Bu said with a headache. "These people must stay and be helped until they are able to live on their own, otherwise if they are allowed to starve to death or escape from the lord's rule, it will only ruin the lord's reputation for many years!"

As Li Yi's confidant general, he grew up with Li Yi since he was a child, and Lu Bu absolutely did not want to see Li Yi's reputation go wrong because of anything.

Hearing this, Xu Shu frowned and groaned, and only after a long time did he say respectfully, "Fujun, the lower officials think that if they come to help them on a monthly basis, it will definitely not work, on the one hand, it is too much to take out so much food at one time, and on the other hand, it is easy to have unnecessary problems when giving so much food to these people." Therefore, it is better to send officials to cook the food that these people need in large cauldrons in the local area, and cook as much as they want. ”

"In addition, it is possible to order the men of the common people to participate in the construction of the place, while the women help with the cooking and some of the less burdensome tasks, and give them a small salary. In this way, we get more labor and we are able to reduce the consumption of food. Xu Shu said respectfully.

"Well, that's it!" Lu Bu pondered for a moment and then said, "In addition, if any of these people want to get something for nothing or take the opportunity to stir up trouble, immediately drive them out of the territory under their rule and let them fend for themselves!" If you dare to resist, you will be arrested and reduced to slavery! ”

"No!" Xu Shu replied respectfully when he heard this.
