The first batch of about 100,000 people who moved south have arrived in Qiantang County, accompanied by more than 20 officials, although the local officials of Hangzhou and the court officials have gone all out, but this short-term population migration still brings tremendous pressure to Qiantang County, rents have risen, prices have skyrocketed, and various public security cases have also risen one after another, making the people of Qiantang County complain.

In the big tent area, there are noisy people everywhere, several men set down a small table next to the big tent to have a drink, talking about future plans, two women in the distance quarrel over trivial matters, a group of children happily run between the big tents, a patrol of soldiers through the big tent, two arguing women hurriedly pulled the soldiers to judge.

More than a dozen public latrines were built in the distance, and more than 100,000 people moved south to pose a serious challenge to epidemic prevention, and disinfectant lime was sprinkled all over the path between the large tents, filling the entire camp with the pungent smell of quicklime.

Li Yanqing, accompanied by a group of officials, made his rounds in the tent area, and he had planned to visit the prefectures, but the enormous pressure brought by the relocation of the capital made it impossible for him to stay out of the situation, so he had to stay in Qiantang County.

Wei Jin said worriedly: "Taiwei Li, I just got the news that another 80,000 people have crossed the river to Runzhou, and I am afraid that Qiantang County will face even greater pressure." ”

Li Yanqing frowned, "Are these 80,000 people all Bianliang people?" ”

"I'm afraid that some are and some are not, and it's hard to tell at the moment."

According to the initial plan of the imperial court, Qiantang County only accepts the people of Bianliang, Tokyo, but in fact, the people of the entire Central Plains are retreating south, and it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

This matter can only be done in a way that makes the people feel that it is profitable to go to other places, and then gradually leaves, and forcibly expelling them can only intensify the contradictions.

Now the people who have migrated south can only continue to receive, thinking of this, Li Yanqing asked Cao Yan with a deep groan: "How many tents are there in the warehouse?" ”

Cao Yan shook his head and said, "It's not much, I'll count it this morning, and there are about three thousand." ”

Li Yanqing turned back to Liu Jian and said: "The army will withdraw to the Jiangning Mansion barracks tomorrow, and it is enough to leave 5,000 new troops here, and all the cavalry will be withdrawn." ”

Liu Jian understood the worries of the capital commander, once the imperial court arrived in Qiantang County, it was likely to take advantage of the situation to reorganize the Jingzhao Army into the Imperial Forest Forbidden Army, and the main force of the Jingzhao Army must be withdrawn as soon as possible.

He nodded, "Prepare for the humble position, and leave tomorrow." ”

Li Yanqing smiled again and said to Cao Yan: "The northwest camp can be stationed with 5,000 troops, and I will leave 5,000 soldiers to assist the government to maintain order, and the main force of the army will withdraw north to Jiangning Mansion, and there is a ready-made military camp in Jiangning Mansion, so that you can vacate 10,000 big tents and hand them over to you to use to settle the people." ”

Cao Yan calculated in his heart that 10,000 big tents were still not enough to fundamentally solve the problem.

"May I ask the captain, where is the imperial court now?"

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "I received a quick letter this morning, the fleet of the imperial court and the official family has arrived in Yangzhou, plus the palace people, hundreds of officials, family members, guards, and troops, there are about more than 50,000 people. ”

Cao Yan's face changed, how to settle so many people?

He hurriedly said: "Although the palace has been completed, and the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards can live in the palace, what about the hundred officials and the army?" ”

Li Yanqing thought for a while and said: "The army can solve it, they have brought their own tents, and the trouble is a hundred officials, there are probably close to four hundred officials, and there are about two or three thousand people with their families, and we have to find out where they live." ”

Wei Jin said cautiously: "Maybe there is no need to solve the residence of so many people, according to the statistics before the lowly position, many high-ranking officials have actually bought land and built houses in Qiantang County, there are about 100 people, and if you remove them, in fact, there are only two or three hundred middle and low-level officials, or you can only let them rent a house for the time being." ”

"But are there still so many empty rooms in the city?" Li Yanqing asked.

"If you think of a way, you should be able to make it up."

Li Yanqing nodded, "I'll leave this matter to you, and the county government will come forward to book the empty house first, and then consider renting a private house after the officials are settled." ”

"The lowly understands that the lowly will personally handle this matter."

Li Yanqing said to Cao Yan again: "It is a bit unrealistic to rely on the government to solve the housing, if there are rich households who are willing to spend money to buy land and build houses, then it is okay, I suggest that a part of the slightly remote land can be auctioned first, divided into an acre of size, the price of land can be slightly cheaper, but each family can only buy one acre of land at most to build a house, I believe that there will be many people who are willing to spend money to buy land and build houses, so that at least thirty percent of the residents can be diverted, and the remaining people who cannot afford to buy land can rent public housing." ”

Cao Yan nodded, "The lowly position also thinks so, the tent can't bear so many people, you have to find a way to divert it, selling land is a good way, but how to do it, does Taiwei have an idea?" ”

Li Yanqing pointed to the north with a horsewhip, "The north city wall has been expanded to the Huantang River, and the officials have agreed, you can sell the land near the Huancheng River first, and then use the money from the sale of land to build the city wall, as for the price, you can refer to the land price of nearby counties, such as Yuhang County, Xiaoshan County, which is three percent higher than the land price over there, and sell 30,000 mu first." ”

Wei Jin said again: "As Taiwei said just now, each household can only buy one acre of land, there are many loopholes to exploit, some big families will demolish the household, in addition, many non-Tokyo residents will also participate in the purchase of land, which is inconsistent with the regulations of the imperial court, the meaning of lowly duty, is there a need for restrictions?" Also, what about shops? It is unrealistic for many shops to have one acre of land, such as taverns and inns, at least two or three acres of land. ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, "It doesn't matter who you are from when you buy land, as long as you can get the money, in addition, each household is limited to one mu of land, and each family can buy one mu of land at a flat price, and the price of the second mu is doubled, but it cannot exceed three mu at most, and the number of people in each household shall prevail according to the records of the household department in the sixth year of Xuanhe, and the temporary demolition will not be recognized, as for the shops along the street are not sold for the time being, only residential land is sold now, and houses must be built immediately after the sale of the land, if the girders are not erected after three months, the government has the right to take back the land." ”

"I'm afraid this will need to be measured a little before dividing the land, and it will take at least ten days to prepare."

"There is no problem with the preparation time, but you can let the wind out first, and the government can also register and screen first, or you can first collect a deposit of fifty taels of silver, and take the number according to the order of payment, and those who pay the money first can give priority to selecting the land, and then use the pre-collected silver to start building the city wall."

After a while, everyone finally settled on a charter, which was led by the state government and implemented together with the county government.

．．．．．．

Although the county seat has been expanded twice, half of the expanded city in the south is reserved for the imperial court, and it has not been sold to the outside world, and the land after the expansion of the city in the north has already been snatched up, making it difficult to find a place in Qiantang County at present, so when the news of the state government's decision to sell the new land came out, a stone suddenly stirred up a thousand waves, and the people in the city were talking about the land sale.

The gate of the state government is queuing all night, the queue is several miles long, everyone is scrambling to pay the deposit, the interesting thing is that the people in line are actually locals, and the people who moved south are a little slower to react because they are not familiar with the situation.

At noon, Li Yanqing went home to drink tea with his family, he has not been with his family at noon for many years, ordering tea and dividing tea is naturally handed over to the teacher, her tea art was also famous in Tokyo that year, and her family unanimously recommended her to order tea for everyone.

Hu Qing'er acted as a temporary tea boy and was responsible for boiling water, and while boiling water, she smiled at everyone: "I found that the water quality in Qiantang County is much better than that in Kaifeng Prefecture, and even the well water in the county town is better than the spring water in Meishan in Kaifeng Prefecture." ”

"Qing'er can also distinguish water?" Li Yanqing asked pretending to be surprised.

"Big brother look down on me!" Hu Qing'er glanced at Li Yanqing, and said angrily: "Although I don't know how to order tea, I still know the most basic water quality, and the boiled water is obviously less limescale than Tokyo, and the taste is sweet and moist, can't I even tell this?" ”

"Then I'll test you, where is the best spring water in Qiantang County?"

Hu Qing'er scratched her head and looked at Shishi as if asking for help, Shishi shook his head and smiled: "I really don't know." ”

At this time, Zhao Fujin, who was sitting on the side, whispered: "It should be the Ruishi Spring of the White Horse Temple of Phoenix Mountain that is the most famous!" ”

"Official, is Fujin right?" Cao Yun asked with a smile on the side.

Li Yanqing nodded, "It is indeed the most famous Ruishi Spring, and the water of Fengle Building is taken from Ruishi Spring, but after the official family and the inner palace moved over, the water of Ruishi Spring will not be supplied to the outside world, it is exclusively for the royal family, and Fengle Building can only use Longjing Spring." ”

The master divided the first cup of tea, brought it to Li Yanqing, and smiled lightly, "The water I use is the Hupao Spring of Dinghui Temple in Daci Mountain, I think it is no worse than Ruishi Spring, you might as well taste it." ”

Li Yanqing picked up the tea bowl and tasted it gently, and immediately praised: "Clear and fragrant, it is really good water and good tea!" ”

Everyone laughed, and at this time, Cao Yun smiled and said, "Official, there is something I want to ask you for help." ”
