Chapter 242: On the right track

Li Yanzhi escorted Xin Yan back to the county together. Obviously, Xin Yan's gentle performance is also the result of Xin Yan's advice. In this era, Li Yanzhi's background is indeed too low. Although he had fought with the army many times before and had accumulated military exploits, if Xin Yan looked down on him with this, Li Yanzhi himself would not believe it.

Xin Yanken is so respectful to himself, except for Xin Peng's advice to him, there must be no other reason. Li Yanzhi knew that if he wanted the new county magistrate to look down on him from the bottom of his heart, then he had to come up with deeds and deeds that could make him face it. At present, it is to properly handle the affairs of the county and let Lingju County embark on the trajectory of development and growth. At the same time, Xin Yan himself and his family have benefited from this development.

Previously, Li Yanzhi acted as the agent for about two months in the affairs of the county government. investigated and dealt with such a case of embezzlement of ink, and also raided the home of the richest man in the county, Fan's shopkeeper. And thanks to these assets, Lingju County can use these assets in the initial development of its own planning, so that it can also take a certain shortcut in such development. Recently, there have been no less than 2,000 displaced people in Longxi. These displaced people are temporarily living in shacks, relying on the relief food of the county government.

Li Yanzhi's current concern is nothing more than to let these displaced people use as labor force and put them into production as soon as possible. When he met with the prince before, he had already mentioned this matter. However, Xin Taishou sighed a few words about the containment of the exiles, this matter is not easy, and after affirming Li Yanzhi's behavior, he never followed. Li Yanzhi himself also had the purpose of testing Xin Taishou. If Taishou asked to relocate some of these displaced people to the county government, he could also make a decision on the spot. However, Xin Taishou did not say a word, apparently thinking that these homeless people were a burden to the county government.

Thinking about this section, Li Yanzhi didn't force it anymore. Taishou did not mention the migration of displaced people, so he was happy to accept them all into the county. Anyway, now for a while, there is no shortage of food. There is no big problem with the livelihood of these people, and the concern is only to find a job for these displaced people as soon as possible. It is good to reclaim barren land and build water conservancy ditches. In short, it's not a good thing to keep them idle all the time.

The carriage bumped on the road. Xin Yan, who was also in the carriage, gradually couldn't bear it anymore, and he kept adjusting his posture, but he was still unable to resist the discomfort caused by this endless bump. Li Yanzhi has been in the army for a long time, but he doesn't feel any different, at this time, seeing Xin Yan's extremely uncomfortable expression, he also understands it in his heart, so he smiled and said: "Fuliang, the road here is uneven, you have to be patient and patient." I told them to go slower. ”

When Xin Yan heard this, he bowed slightly and said, "Then thank Dingdong for worrying about it...... Since I was a child, I have rarely left the house, and it is quite uncomfortable to travel so tiringly. ”

The wheels of the carriage continued to creak across the bumpy road. Li Yanzhi lifted the curtain, and suddenly had his own idea of arranging the homeless people to put into production.

The group had another day of jolting on the road. Finally, they arrived at the county hall before dusk the next day. Xin Yan has rarely been out of the house since he was a child, and the bumps along the way are nothing less than a kind of torture for him. After getting to the county mansion, he didn't care about arranging the luggage of the entourage he brought, so under the guidance of Li Yanzhi, he rushed into the mansion, washed his face by the well, and then was taken by Li Yanzhi to the back hall to rest and sleep.

Liu Jiwu reported to Li Yanzhi. This time Li Yanzhi went out, but there was nothing abnormal in the county. In the shacks outside the north of the county seat, porridge is still distributed to those homeless people on a daily basis. Li Yanzhi's heart moved, and he couldn't care about the fatigue of his journey, so he went to the north gate city wall with Liu Jiwu.

Listening to Liu Jiwu's words about making porridge according to the amount per day, Li Yanzhi thought that he didn't know what the conditions of the area where these displaced people lived. He was afraid that the sanitary conditions would be too rudimentary, so that if a large-scale epidemic broke out, it would be a catastrophe for Lingju County. Today's Lingju can't withstand such a blow. Li Yanzhi climbed the city tower and saw smoke curling for miles outside the city. It was the time of the porridge, and many displaced people in the shack area were lining up to receive the porridge in turn under the guidance and supervision of the county soldiers who were dispatched to maintain order.

"Tomorrow I will find a few doctors in the county, and then I will go to the shacks of the displaced people to see and treat them. In the future, you should always pay attention to keeping the shack area tidy. Otherwise, if there is an outbreak of epidemic, it will be a catastrophe for the county! ”

Liu Jiwu stood aside, listening to Li Yanzhi's advice, and nodded from time to time. Li Yanzhi looked at the shack area again, and then said leisurely: "Ji Wu, I plan to recruit homeless young people and build a gallop road to the county government, what do you think?" ”

Liu Jiwu raised his head, and then as if he was thinking about it carefully, he replied: "Since Sima has thought about it, he will do it." It took a lot of money to build the gallop road, but since Sima wanted to do it, there was a reason for Sima. Sima's foresight is far beyond our ......."

Li Yanzhi turned his head to look at Liu Jiwu, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "When did you learn this sycophant kung fu......

Liu Jiwu smiled faintly and said, "At the end of last year, Sima suggested that the Han Protector Army build more walls of Jincheng County and set up camp on the north bank. Sending two army commanders here, we all think it's redundant. Unexpectedly, this year's war proved how necessary Sima's concern was. If it had been the past year, our army had not set up camp, or had not built Jincheng County. This year's war will be unsustainable......"

Li Yanzhi heard what Liu Jiwu said, but he just smiled lightly and said, "This matter is a matter of the battle array. In the future, if you are in this position of decision-making, you will also be careful in every way. After all, a thought for a general is the net worth and lives of tens of millions of people. Don't be sloppy. ”

When Liu Jiwu heard this, he looked at Li Yanzhi's gaze, and then he was a little deeper. What Li Yanzhi said, every sentence was imprinted in his mind. He had always been cautious, and all he was worried about was how to deal with it. The military orders of the higher authorities have always been obeyed, and it is only out of military instinct. But he never thought carefully about the impact that a military order from his superiors or himself would have on these soldiers under him.

"A soldier may die for a short-sighted and stupid decision. The way to do this is to avoid making unnecessary sacrifices to your subordinates. Treat soldiers as human beings, not as stepping stones for their own advancement. Behind every soldier is a family of eager hope......" Li Yanzhi said in a deep voice.

Liu Jiwu nodded: "Subordinates keep in mind." Sima Yan said that he wanted to build a gallop road, and after his subordinates ordered the doctors to go to diagnose tomorrow, they would select the young and strong, and mobilize the craftsmen's tools, food, and other manpower and material resources......"

"That's it......" Li Yanzhi waved his hand and said: "Building Chidao is not the first priority at the moment. Let's let these displaced people reclaim the famine first. Li Yanzhi thought about it, but still stopped his idea of building Chidao immediately. Not to mention the huge amount of money spent on building the gallop road. I don't know when this major project will be completed. If these displaced people have not yet engaged in agricultural production next year, where will they get food?

"At present, there are many people in the middle of the county, and the situation is complicated. It is better to organize the production in the county first, and then talk about other things when it is on the right track. Li Yanzhi turned his head to look at the camp outside the city, and said softly as if he was emotional.
