Chapter 359: Dilemma
Now that it has been agreed, Sima Boyu no longer hesitated, and immediately sent troops to Jiankuoling to set up troops to intercept them.
Sure enough, in the days that followed, it was rare to see a flood of victims into Longchuan. This significantly reduced the pressure on Si Nong Yingzhao and Sima Boyu.
"Sima Boyu, in just a few days, the effect is still visible." Finally stopped, Si Nong Yingzhao said happily to Sima Boyu.
"Of course, after all, you and I are officials of the Qin people, of course we have to do things for the Qin people, and we can't affect the lives of my Qin people because of taking in the victims of the Guanzhong disaster." Sima Boyu said proudly to Si Nong Yingzhao.
"You are reasonable, if it is because of the excessive reception of the victims of the countries in Guanzhong, and then affects the lives of my Qianyi Qin people, wouldn't it be a reversal of the cart?" Si Nong Yingzhao said.
"Exactly, we must not affect our own lives because we have helped the people of other countries." Sima Boyu said.
At this time, his subordinates came to report: "Report to Si Nong Ling and Jun Sima, and Dr. Qianyi has invited the two to go to the house to discuss matters." ”
Doctor, please?
Ying Zhao and Zhao Boyu couldn't help but look at each other after hearing this, and Ying Zhao smiled: "Isn't it for the sake of the victims?" ”
"No, I thought the doctor shouldn't know at this time." Sima Boyu said.
With that, the two walked towards Yingkang's mansion.
Walking into the mansion, Yingkang was already waiting for them here.
"Third brother, Bo Yuan, you are here, please sit down and talk." Seeing the two of them coming in, Yingkang said politely to the two.
Ying Zhao and Zhao Boyu looked at each other, since Ying Kang was so polite, it means that he didn't know that Zhao Boyu sent troops to prevent the victims from entering Longchuan at this time. So the two sat down in front of their respective desks, and Sima Boyu asked, "I don't know what the doctor is looking for me?" ”
"Actually, it's not important, I just want to learn about the situation in Longchuan with the two of you recently. Third brother, you tell me about the recent entry of the victims into Longchuan. After sitting down, Yingkang said to Si Nong Yingzhao.
As soon as he heard this, Yingzhao's heart chuckled, didn't the doctor already know about it?
However, the doctor's face was calm, and he didn't feel angry after learning the news, so Si Nong Yingzhao said: "It has been three months since the earthquake this year, and in the past three months, the number of people who have entered Longchuan in Guanzhong is about 10,000. ”
10,000 people?
10,000 people may not be much today, but in the sparsely populated Western Zhou Dynasty, it is not a small number.
Ying Kang was silent for a moment after hearing this, and said: "10,000 people is indeed a lot, I don't know how so many victims are resettled?" ”
"There are so many people in the disaster, and Qianyi is such a big place, if they are all resettled in the city, we won't have so many houses for a while. Therefore, I gradually resettled these victims in the city in the order in which they came to Longchuan. Yingzhao replied.
"Well---, third brother's move is very appropriate. I wonder how many people have been resettled in the city at the moment, and how many victims are outside the city? For the method of Si Nong Yingzhao, Yingkang affirmed.
"At present, there are less than 3,000 people in the city, and more than 7,000 outside the city."
After listening to Yingzhao's answer, Yingkang was very surprised, "Of the 10,000 victims, less than 3,000 were resettled in the city, so the vast majority of the victims are still outside the city, why is this?" ”
"There are two reasons, one is that although we have expanded the scale of Qianyi City, the houses in the city have to be built by the people themselves, so there are not so many houses in our Qianyi City for the victims to live in. The second is that if we suddenly resettle so many people in the city, it will be a great hidden danger to the security of Qianyi. After all, these victims were all people who did not have any savings, and when they entered the city, they lacked clothes and clothing, so it was difficult to ensure that they would not steal the things of the original Qin people. For this reason, I had to slowly move into the city to cope with the increasing number of victims. Yingzhao replied truthfully.
Yingkang knew that what the third brother said was the truth, and if these victims were released into the city soon, it would be certain that there would be frequent public security incidents. And for a while, there were really not so many rooms in Qianyi City for the victims to live in.
"Si Nong Ling is right, there have been many robberies among the victims who have entered the city, and our original people have a lot of opinions about this. In the past few days, there have been no less than a dozen thefts reported to me. As soon as Si Nong Ling finished speaking, Sima Boyu followed.
There have been more than a dozen theft incidents in a few days, which makes Yingkang's heart can't help but increase the pressure.
"There have been so many robberies in a few days, it seems that we have to pay attention. I wonder what the two of you will do to deal with this? Ying Kang couldn't help asking.
"We have ......" After listening to Yingkang's words, Sima Boyu hurriedly said.
But before he could finish speaking, Si Nong Ling glared at him fiercely, "We attach great importance to this, and we have also dealt with many victims who have made mistakes. However, we are also thinking that after all, the victims of the disaster are people who have lost their homes, and we cannot drive them out of Longchuan because of the mistakes they made because of hunger, so we should strengthen patrols in the future to prevent the victims from making similar mistakes after they are hungry. In addition, I am also considering allocating more food to the victims so that they do not go hungry as much as possible. What does the doctor think? ”
After listening to Yingzhao's words, Yingkang nodded, "Si Nongling's method is very good, but how much grain is left in Longchuan at the moment, can you deal with it this year?" ”
"This? Don't hide it, there is really not much food in Longchuan at the moment, and if the number of victims continues to increase, our food will not be able to support until autumn. Our own people will go hungry all winter. ”
After listening to Si Nong's words, Yingkang was silent, he knew about the Qin people's own family background, and he also knew that if the number of victims continued to increase, Longchuan's savings would not be able to last until the end of the year.
"I already know what you said, and now, I will discuss here how to give the victims a bite to eat and drink without blocking them from entering Longchuan, and prevent these victims from starving to death in our Longchuan land." Ying Kang said.
After listening to Yingkang's words, Yingzhao and Zhao Boyu were silent.
After a while, Yingzhao said: "Doctor, what you can think of, we have also thought of a way, if you don't stop the victims from continuing to enter Longchuan." We can't feed that many people with our food alone. In the autumn and winter, we ourselves will starve to death because of the lack of food. Rather than starving the people to death in the future, it is better to prevent the victims of other countries from entering Longchuan now. ”
This one?
What can I do?
Yingkang said sadly: "It's not that Yingkang doesn't know what the third brother said, it's just that I can't bear to watch the people lack clothes and clothes because of the earthquake, and finally starve to death in Guanzhong, a place that was originally rich." ”
"But if all the people of other countries are relieved, our own people will starve to death in the end! Moreover, these victims who entered Longchuan did not know how to be grateful at all, and they went to steal our original people, and after a long time, our own people will also have opinions about us. Zhao Boyu said.
Faced with the practical problems encountered, Yingkang fell into deep thought.
