106 Absorb the victims

Zhao Xiang hurriedly made a painful appearance of constipation for half a month: "But the small people are such a big piece of land, and there is not so much work for the victims to do, when the river is dug and the courtyard wall is built, there is really nothing to do, and now every day I wake up with three or four hundred quintals of food consumed, and there is no way to continue!" Even if the grain is eaten one day, it will be robbed by the victims like Kaiyuan Temple, and it will be burned again. Lord Wang, you said that Kaiyuan Temple was killed by the rebels, and if a large piece of family property was left in a blink of an eye, there was only a pile of scorched earth and a large area of ownerless fields......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Xiang pinched his words and looked at Wang Haoran.

Wang Haoran naturally knew that Zhao Xiang was crying poor, and he also knew that Zhao Xiang was opening the Yuansi field, but he had just obtained a little real power in the morning, and he couldn't contribute much. He looked at the people around him, and Wang Cun said to the accompanying officials very familiarly: "Lord Wang has something important to discuss with Zhao Gongzi, so let's avoid it for the time being." ”

Looking at the reaction of the officials, nearly half of them were unhappy, and they didn't take two steps for a long time. Wang Haoran was also helpless, so he had to pull Zhao Xiang to the side where there was no one: "Brother Zhao Xian, to tell you the truth, those big families were already ready to start dividing the Yuansi real estate, but last night there was a rain, and the victims regathered, and the magistrate and Chen Zhisi had to let me come out to preside over the resettlement of the victims, and it was temporarily shelved." The resettlement of the victims is not just a matter of Longxi County, the two adults of Zhizhou and Tongju personally supervised it, and it was done, I can speak, you naturally have some weight in their eyes, understand? ”

Zhao Xiang nodded: "In other words, I'm chasing ducks to the shelves now?" ”

Wang Haoran nodded: "Three thousand, you resettle another three thousand victims, I heard that you not only provide jobs for the victims, but also build new houses for them, seriously?" ”

Zhao Xiang pointed to a large area of bulldozed wasteland behind him: "No way, since they are working here, they can't let them sleep with their families, you see that this thousand acres of good paddy fields are gone, alas!" ”

Wang Haoran wanted to kick Zhao Xiang, it was obviously a river beach and wasteland before, where did the good paddy fields come from? Moreover, this large area adds up to four or five hundred acres of land at most, and how can a thousand acres emerge. Knowing that Zhao Xiang wanted to blackmail him, but there was no way, the situation was pressing, and only Zhao Xiang was the only one in Zhangzhou who could help him, so he had to say a little bit of empty words: "Brother Xian, this is the best policy!" You can rest assured, as soon as the matter of the victims is over, the official will ask the court for credit for you, and he will definitely return your 1,000 acres of good paddy fields to you, but the victims of the disaster should be treated equally, this land is so big, it is not a problem to resettle another 3,000 people, right? He deliberately added the word "paddy field".

"I'm afraid we have to expand another 500 acres to the west." Zhao Xiang said.

Wang Haoran gritted his teeth: "Then expand another 500 acres!" ”

"What else do you need me to do?" Zhao Xiang felt that since the other party had written a blank check, he had to express his intention to cooperate.

"No need, work for relief, resettle the 3,000 victims, and I'll take care of the rest."

……

As soon as Wang Haoran left, Zhao Xiang hurriedly called He Defang and Chen Hanlin: "You two know what the land of Kaiyuan Temple is, right?" ”

Chen Hanlin said: "The nearest is the bamboo forest in the west to the west, the east to the north of the city, and I heard that there are tens of thousands of acres under the round mountain on the other side of the river, but I have to inquire." ”

He Defang asked: "Brother Xiang is intentionally ......"

Zhao Xiang smiled: "It's really not my turn to share this cup of soup in this realm, I just think that since I am repairing the river now, Lord Wang just said that he will arrange another 3,000 people to come over, so many people are crowded here to dig the river is not able to turn around, it is better to directly help Kaiyuan Temple to repair the river, dig a little deeper, you can let the water in the river pour in, and wait for the next year, no matter who the land becomes, it is good to irrigate and get water, what do you think?" ”

The two of them didn't know what Zhao Xiang meant: "Brother Xiang'er's plan is naturally good." ”

"Then there are two laborers, all the way to the east and all the way to the west, and it is faster to dig with machines, and manpower is still used for fine work. Build two more brick kilns, I see that you used adobe bricks to build houses before, and it collapsed after a rain last night, how can such a house live in people, so it is still necessary to burn bricks in the brick kiln to build it...... "When I think about it, it seems that there are still so many things so complicated, there are too many things to do, and there are not enough people, and everything has to be done by yourself, and Zhao Xiang is not good.

At noon, the Zhao family's porridge shed began to give porridge again. This time, no one like Mrs. Xu who likes to take advantage of small advantages will dare to share the porridge anymore, after all, the chaotic people rushed Kaiyuan Temple a few days ago, and now everyone is still apprehensive.

Of course, Aunt Xu didn't take advantage of that small advantage because she and the original more than 20 village women returned to work again, and they were still engaged in logistics. It's just that as soon as they took up their posts, these people found that most of the logistics team was composed of rioters, and with a lot of regulations for receiving materials and materials, it was almost impossible to think of ordering something to the house like before - even if it could be done, the rule of "dismissal immediately and never use it again once discovered" was enough for them to weigh it carefully.

After the porridge was served at noon, Wang Cun led the servants to bring 3,000 victims from the other side of the embankment to the open space here, and these victims were all dragged with their families, some of them had seven or eight people, and the common point was that there was at least one strong laborer in the family. Such a choice, Wang Haoran also spent a little thought. The reason why the victims of the disaster have evolved into chaotic people is that there are too many strong laborers in it, and once they are cornered, these strong laborers can rob them for themselves and their families.

Zhao Song has his own set of arrangements for the victims, that is, the Xiang Army. It is said that these victims should wait for the imperial court to be incorporated into the Xiang Army, but time waits for no one, if they gather to grab big households like a few days ago, and then disperse in a hurry, Wang Haoran's work is extremely ineffective - not only is it difficult to have a good record in the evaluation, but the little power that is newly acquired may also be immediately taken away by the top bosses Lin Shiyong and Chen Zhisi.

Zhao Xiang uses work to give money, in addition to eating three and twenty copper coins for a day's work, he can buy rice at the price of ten wen and one catty, so that the whole family will not starve to death.

Restraining these strong men, as long as they don't turn into chaotic people, Wang Haoran's goal has been achieved for the most part, and as for how Zhao Xiang resettles these victims, it is not his concern. What Wang Haoran had to do was to settle the remaining nearly 10,000 victims on the other side of the embankment.

It is not reasonable for such a large number of victims to gather here. The more people there are, the fewer resources available for survival, and these people gather in reverse, only to say that they have made the decision for the next raid.

Human nature is always greedy. Many of the victims rushed into Kaiyuan Temple a few days ago to grab food, and after a few days of full food, they asked them to wait for the Zhao family's porridge that was gone when they peed, and they were not very satisfied.

Wang Haoran took the servants to persuade all the way on the riverside, but the victims only promised to return to their hometowns as soon as possible, but they had no intention of leaving. When he returned to the porridge shed to rest, he found that there were 2,000 more troops on the embankment.

Zhizhou Zhao Gongsu finally couldn't help but transfer the army to deter the victims.
