Hearing this, Yang Guang smiled slightly and said: "Who said that I am going to recruit them into an army, the imperial court has difficulties with the imperial court, but this is not a reason for us to sit idly by, after all, these are my people, I don't care about them, who cares about them!?" ”

"I mean, for those who still have families among the displaced people, they are all scattered and placed near Jiangdu, and the imperial court allocates grain and grain to them, let them be responsible for farming, and send the army to be responsible for patrolling to ensure the stability of civil order. As long as you help them resist this little half a year, when the autumn comes, the court can double it! ”

"For the men and women among the displaced people, the imperial court hired them according to the situation, or recruited them as soldiers, or assigned to the coolie battalion as coolies, or assigned to the blacksmith battalion to build weapons, or assigned to the textile mills in Jiangdu, or selected the elite elements to become the fine work 。。。。。。 of the military department and the Jinyi guard."

"Let each of them make the best use of it, let the court's contribution be worthwhile, let every one of them not starve to death, but also not let any of them be idle. In a word, people should do their best and make the best use of things! ”

After listening to Yang Guang's arrangement, Feng Deyi was silent for a moment and said: "Your Excellency, even if this is the case, the imperial court still has to consume a lot of grain and grass to feed these people, and it may not be effective in a short period of time, and if it spreads, the displaced people around here will flock to the Jiangdu, and the Jiangdu is so big, I am afraid that it will not be able to bear it!" ”

Yang Guang was unmoved, and said firmly: "Everything has a process, nothing is achieved overnight, and if the imperial court wants to change its mind and regain the country, then this is a necessary step." If the food is gone, you can find another way, but if the people's hearts are lost, it will be difficult to pick it up! As for the problem of the increasing number of displaced people, I don't think I should worry about it, I will ask the military department and Laihu'er to step up their preparations and strive to swear to the Northern Expedition as soon as possible. As long as I take away these hundreds of thousands of Xiaoguo troops and the Right Yiwei Water Division, the pressure on Jiangdu will be much less. ”

Seeing that Yang Guang's determination had been decided, Feng Deyi simply said: "Since the holy will has been decided, Weichen will obey the order!" As Shangshu Zuocheng, the minister is responsible for this matter, and he should share the worries of the saint! The minister rushed back to the city and discussed the resettlement of the displaced people with His Royal Highness King Yan and the six departments! ”

Seeing that Feng Deyi understood the taste so well, Yang Guang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Hmm! I will organize the displaced people to gather and manage on the spot, you go back to pass the edict first, and let the right imperial guard general Chen Ling immediately organize the military force to maintain order on the spot, and cooperate with the imperial court to do the next resettlement work, this favor will be sold to the right imperial guard soldiers who stayed in Jiangdu. Then let the military department and the household department first take out some grain and cloth for resettlement, and when you discuss a specific plan, you will immediately disperse and resettle these displaced people! ”

"Father, after the meeting ended last night, the child went to the granary and learned about the grain hoarded in Jiangdu, which was less than 300,000 stone in total! In addition to the 100,000 stones left in Jiangdu, our Northern Expedition Wang Division only had less than 200,000 stone of military rations left, which was only enough for our army to eat for three months. If it is distributed to the homeless, then our army will not be able to fight for a long time, and I hope that the father will think twice! Yang Yong was silent on the side, and he couldn't help but say at the moment. Because from the bottom of his heart, he does not approve of distributing military rations to help the displaced people, because from a military point of view, food is the foundation of the army, and the army can be reduced by 20,000 or 30,000 people, but if the food is gone, no matter how many people there are, it will collapse!

"I just roughly calculated the account and allocated 100,000 stone from the Northern Expedition army rations, which is enough for these homeless people to settle their families in Jiangdu. In this way, my Northern Expedition Wang Division still has more than a month's worth of military rations, plus the grain and grass that Pei Yun and Mai Mengcai collected on the spot in Pengcheng, which is enough for our army for two months. When the time comes, defeat Li Mi, and the food will be exhausted! ”

Speaking of this, Yang Guang sighed, beat his chest and said: "Alas, it's a pity that the grain in the big granaries of Luokoucang, Huiluocang, Liyangcang, and Yongxing Cang, Luokoucang alone has hoarded more than 20 million stone of grain!" This is the grain and grass that the emperor and I have worked hard to hoard for decades, and now all of them are cheaper than the thief army, and they are helping the thief flame! What a pity! What a pity! ”

Yu Shiji frowned and said, "But if you want these people to work, you can't do it twice a day." Under normal circumstances, a person has to eat one catty to one catty and two taels of grain a day, and even if the 100,000 stone military rations are dried and thin a day, they will not be able to support it for two months! The autumn harvest is still months away! ”

Hearing this, Feng Deyi smiled slightly and said, "Lord Yu doesn't have to worry, this food is very particular!" The ancient city defenders, who had no food in the city, tried their best to eat all the rats, and finally fell to eating human flesh raw. Now, although the court is difficult, the situation is far better than sitting in a lonely city! The minister thought that as long as the regulations of more work and more and less work were clarified, and then some 'condiments' were added to the meal, it would last for several months, and then it would be up to His Royal Highness King Yan to play! ”

Yu Shiji was puzzled: "What does Lord Feng mean?" ”

Yang Yun's face changed, and he said, "Is it possible to mix floating mud in rice and make that slag flatbread?" I've heard that if you put rice crumbs into cakes and eat them, you can eat them to your heart's content, but after eating them for a long time, your body will become swollen, your heels will become weak, and you will eventually get sick and die! ”

Feng Deyi explained unhurriedly: "Except for floating mud, can't it be mixed with other things?" For example, mixed with tree bark, although there is no nutrition after eating, it is better than not having to eat, at least it can fill the stomach, but it may not last long, and you will be hungry, which just stimulates the displaced people to work harder for the court! ”

After being reminded by Feng Deyi, Yang Guang understood it at one point, smiled slightly, and explained: "Feng Lang still has a way!" By rewarding and punishing the homeless people with food, they were stimulated to work hard for the court, and then they could add water, tree bark, rice husks, sawdust, weeds, grass roots, and other 'condiments' to the meal. In this way, the displaced people can not only eat enough, but also work for an extra month or two. With so much buffer time, I can get food to feed more and more victims, and I am still confident in this! ”

Shen Guang interjected: "Indeed, with this method, our 100,000 stone military food can last these 300,000 or 400,000 displaced people for three or four months, and there are still 100,000 stone grain in Jiangdu City, which is enough for the displaced people in the back to come and beg for food." As long as there is enough time, the imperial court can get food through multiple channels. Relatively speaking, there were still not many wars in Jiangnan, and production in various places was not greatly damaged. As long as the imperial court sends troops to collect grain, I believe that the head snakes in various places will not sell the face of the imperial court. ”

"Alright, that's it! Feng Lang, the preliminary work of pacifying the displaced people is fully responsible for you, I am optimistic about you! Yang Guang said straightly.

"The saint is wise, the minister will do it immediately!" Feng Deyi bowed to Yang Guang, and before leaving, he didn't forget to pat Yang Guang's fart, and then under the escort of a team of Janissary cavalry, he quickly returned to Jiangdu City.
