Yuncheng after Chao Gai's careful governance, Shi Wenbin carefully governs, all the head of the fast is all arranged by Chao Gai, local economic development, people's livelihood is good, and recently the Salesian Hospital, medicine hospital, and there is a way to subsidize the difficult groups, basically there are no beggars. But today, Chao Gai found that as soon as he entered the territory of Yuncheng County, he actually found three groups of beggars and five groups of beggars walking forward in rags. The catchers who were running back and forth were helping to divert the beggars on the road, and it happened to be Chao Ran who was on duty, and he was pulling a few sick beggars in a horse-drawn cart to treat them.

"Chao Ran, what's the situation? Why are there so many beggars in the territory? Chao Gai asked.

"Mr. Wu said that he went to various places to publicize the role, but he didn't expect that there would be so many, and now more than 3,000 craftsmen and more than 2,000 women and children have come." Chao Ran said.

Chao Gai was also secretly frightened, Chao Gai also promoted all the way, but he didn't expect such a simple propaganda to have such a big effect. When the craftsmen come, it is productivity, and when these old and weak women and children come, they are a heavy burden for the time being, and they must be treated with caution.

"What do you do now?" Chao Gai asked.

"The craftsmen have been assigned to our subordinate factories, mainly shipyard sites, industrial park sites, and trade city construction sites, as for the old and weak women and children, the county commander has built a porridge shed outside the city gate, and basically everyone can eat and will not starve to death." Chao Ran said.

Chao Gai shook his head secretly, he didn't think about this matter thoroughly, he didn't expect that there were so many homeless people, and it seemed that he was going to come up with a lot of money again.

Chao Gai said: "Bian Xiang and Wan Chun, you two will go back to the barracks with Xie Zhen and Xie Bao first, familiarize yourself with the environment, and I will go back after dealing with the matter." ”

After Chao Gai finished speaking, he took Jiao Ting to find Shi Wenbin, Shi Wenbin was busy, and he was obviously a little dissatisfied with Chao Gai's practice of recruiting homeless people.

Shi Wenbin said: "Chao Tuanlian, recruiting craftsmen to open factories, this is very good, but here are thousands of displaced people, you see, they are all children and women." ”

Chao Gai said with a smile: "What the county order said is right, I also didn't think about it, who would have thought that there are so many displaced people in nearby states and counties, I'm afraid it will continue to increase, we have to plan early." ”

Shi Wenbin smiled helplessly, and Shi Wenbin's long attendant said: "Adults don't have to worry, Chao Tuanlian must have a deep meaning in doing this." ”

Chao Gai said: "I can't say the deep meaning, I'm just soft-hearted for a while, but the county order doesn't have to worry too much." Most of the craftsmen have gone to the construction site, and even if they can't find a job, they will return to their hometowns on their own. As for these women and children, I plan to build a homeless village in units of 500 people, far away from the county seat and other rural villages, to isolate and observe them first, and to arrange for the children to go to school when they are healthy, and as for the women, they will also have jobs one after another, and I plan to start a large spinning and weaving factory, which will also require at least a few thousand female workers. These female workers who have no husbands will find a husband from the iron factory and the carpentry factory to marry, which can be regarded as a contribution to our Yuncheng. ”

"The money from the county treasury to clean up the river has been almost spent, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come up with the money to resettle the displaced people. Besides, there is a shortage of manpower. Shi Wenbin said.

Chao Gai said: "I will pay for all the money and food, and the manpower group will send 200 people out." If it's still insufficient, let Zhu Tong and those guards all come out, and it's okay to take the money all day long and not work. ”

Chao Gai finished speaking and left, leaving Wen Bin to watch stupidly.

Chang Sui sighed: "Although the matter is a little troublesome, but it is a great credit to deal with it, you must know that the imperial court has always used the increase in population as a reference standard when evaluating magistrates." If the population increases by 20,000 or 30,000 this year, the commercial tax will definitely rise sharply, and rewards will definitely be indispensable at that time. ”

Shi Wenbin said: "It's not difficult for me to do such a thing, as long as he pays for it." ”

Shi Wenbin immediately screened and distinguished the homeless, isolated and observed those who were sick, and all healthy men who had the ability to work went to work on construction sites or mines, and they couldn't be craftsmen and small workers, so they couldn't be idle anyway. As for the women, children, the old and the weak, they were divided into groups of 500 people and helped each other to build straw houses and shacks. Two meals of porridge and one meal of sorghum noodles a day. The women did what they could, building toilets in their living quarters, disinfecting lime, setting up cauldrons to boil water, and strictly prohibiting the drinking of raw water.

Chao Gai allocated 50,000 catties of grain on the same day, enough for these two thousand people to use for a period of time, and at the same time, in order to avoid the inflow of too many displaced people and the collapse of Yuncheng's economy, Chao Xun immediately arranged a caravan not to recruit displaced people, but only to recruit craftsmen.

Let's say that the two brothers of Xie Zhen and Xie Bao were full of enthusiasm and expectation, and followed Bian Xiang and Pang Wanchun to the Yuncheng regimental training camp in the mountains, and all kinds of new things made people dazzled.

The teams of soldiers walked so neatly and their legs were so neat. There were also soldiers singing, and the voices were loud and tidy. There are also hundreds of soldiers learning to ride horses on the school grounds, and from time to time there are the shouts of officers and the laughter of soldiers, everything is so strange.

Bian Xiang took the two of them to register first, and then received the armor from Song Wan, as for the weapons, both of them had their own weapons, but they didn't need to send them. The two of them put on brand-new cowhide armor, and they were also majestic with five strands of heavenly forks in their hands.

Zhengmei, suddenly Li Kui came back with the team cross-country, tired and sweaty, and saw Xie Zhen and Xie Bao coming over and said, "Are you two new soldiers?" ”

Xie Bao said: "Of course, didn't you see that we are all wearing armor, and we are also Bian Xiang's deputy." ”

"You must have some skills to be the deputy of this stupid big man, can you dare to fight me?"

Xie Bao didn't know the rules, and looked at Bian Xiang next to him, Bian Xiang said: "He is not convinced by you, he wants to fight with you, there is a cushioned ring in the small school field, and those who want to fight can go there to compete when there is no training task, but the point is up to the point, and the casualties will be served by military law." Of course, you can also ignore him, this guy's name is Li Kui, and he has a lot of strength, so it's better not to beat him. ”

Xie Bao is a young man's nature, not to mention what kind of bird soldier he is without blood.

"Although you are big, I am not easy to deal with, I can fight if I want, I'm afraid you are not a good man." Xie Bao said.

The group went straight to the school ring, which was actually just a wooden platform with a layer of cushions on it. Xie Bao lost his armor and weapon, and flew into the ring in a single suit. Li Kui's reckless man went on the stage shirtless, and his swarthy muscles were dazzling.

Xie Zhen looked at Li Kui's muscles and was a little worried, Bian Xiang said: "This fight can only be one-on-one, winning or losing is nothing." But if you fight two and one, it's a shame. ”

Li Kui's original fists and feet were not routine, and later he learned sanda fighting with Chao Gai, and his fists were strong and fierce, and he was vigorous. Xie Bao didn't know the depth, he was punched twice when he went up, but it was not in the way, after many years of hunting, Xie Bao's body was very sporadic and not fighting with Li Kui, but fighting. After fighting for more than a dozen rounds, Xie Bao accidentally let Li Kui grab his arm, and one fell over the shoulder and fell seven meat and eight vegetarians, obviously losing.

Li Kui went over and stretched out his big hand: "Get up." My brother said that if I don't fight, I don't know each other, and my name is Li Kui. ”

Xie Bao said: "I Xie Bao." ”

Li Kui wanted to reconcile Zhen again, and it happened that Shi Xiu came, and Shi Xiu and Xie Zhen had a fight. Obviously, Xie Zhen's martial arts are a little stronger than his younger brother, and he has rich experience in actual combat, and he is also on a par with Shi Xiu, and the two have been fighting for a long time before they stop.

Li Kui looked impatient, shook his head and left.

After Chao Gai returned to the barracks, he immediately invited Wu Yong and Zhu Wu, who were in charge of the project, back, and called Liu Tang to the big tent.

Chao Gai said: "Everyone has worked hard, this time I went out and gained a lot." In Yishui, he met Li Kui's brother, who was proficient in residential construction and was a great craftsman, and he promised to come over in a few days, and then arrange for him to be in charge of house construction in the village. ”

Wu Yong said: "Since he has the ability, naturally he can't bury him." ”

"I also met two strange people, one is called Li Ergou and the other is Xu Ge, and I arranged for a caravan to pick them up. Liu Tang arranged it. Chao Gai asked.

Liu Tang said: "Everything is according to my brother, Li Ergou and his eight dogs have been arranged to the military dog farm, and Li Ergou will be responsible for the military dog farm in the future." It's just that Xu Ge said that the barracks were too noisy and not conducive to the life of the pigeons, so I asked the governor of Chao Xun and found him an old house in a secluded place in the village, and the pigeon loft had been built. ”

"Okay, let's arrange it." Chao Gai said.

Zhu Wu said: "My brother recruited a pigeon, don't you want to establish a way to spread the book of flying pigeons?" This flying pigeon is a great fly, and when applied properly, it can achieve miraculous results. ”

"Exactly, it's just a matter of urgency. It has to be raised for a few months, and there are too few carrier pigeons, so you have to collect some more, otherwise it will be difficult to establish this channel. Chao Gai said.

"There are two other people, Xie Zhen and Jie Bao, and arranged for Bian Xiang to be his deputy, these two people are heroes among the hunters in Dengzhou, and their mountaineering skills are extraordinary. Tomorrow we will arrange a reception for these four to celebrate. Chao Gai said.

After saying these things, Wu Yong said: "A few days ago, Governor Xu sent someone over, saying that the 20,000 acres of mountainous land in Ren Batian County were contracted to us cheaply, and twenty catties of wheat per mu of land a year. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange for Liu Youtian to sign a contract in the past. However, this Xu prefect is really enough to pick the door, and the value of the more than 10,000 acres of good land of the Ren family alone is three or five hundred thousand yuan, let's just get some floating wealth, and 20,000 acres of wasteland are embarrassed to charge such a high rent. Chao Gai complained. However, it just so happens that this land will be used for peanut breeding next year, and it is not a waste.

Xu Lin benefited a lot from taking the county Ren Batian, and his income was several times that of Chao Gai. It just happened that Jeju regimental training made Huang An die in battle, and Xu Lin intended to promote Chao Gai's position, but the general judgment disagreed, saying that Chao Gai had been in Yuncheng County's regimental training for less than half a year, and it was probably inappropriate to be promoted rashly.
