174 Food crisis

Population is what Shen Yue needs most now.

The people in Dinghai County, he can't make up his mind; All the military households in Longshan followed him to eat.

In other territories, he didn't dare to recruit troops easily, Shen Da went to Shandong to recruit displaced people, and he didn't know when he would come back.

"In the past, the command yamen kept bringing some of the excluded military households to the island for the sake of private salt, and the salt production continued to increase, and the military households above could not resist, and there was not even food seeds, so the military households fled to the mountains in large numbers, and then slowly everyone reported the disappearance of the people...... The commanding yamen did not enter the mountains to search...... If the second child is not mistaken, there are more than 3,000 people hiding on the entire island, many of them are fleeing with their families, and they are expected to rush to this side after the disaster a few days ago......" Kang Taiping's words made Shen Yue jump.

"Three thousand?"

He was frightened by the number.

With such a large population, the amount of food needed would be very large.

It wasn't a good thing to let Shen Qi go back and move the loyal military households over without considering this aspect last night.

Once it is not controlled, it will cause big problems.

The Xu family's family plus half of their own Minzhuang team is only more than 200 people. Once these people make a mess......

"My lord, the food on our ship will last for a maximum of five days according to the current consumption." Qin Yuan reported.

"Doesn't it mean that there is a lot of food? Are pirates at sea enough to last for months? Shen Yue asked Shen Jiu.

I just have a territory and a population, and there is a food crisis immediately?

"When they fled, they lost a lot. I just counted the boxes......" Shen Jiu explained awkwardly.

Shen Jiu wanted to cry without tears, so he stared at the silver, where to think about food or something?

There is a shortage of food everywhere in Daming, but there is no shortage in Jiangnan.

Even pirates can be replenished on the island of Taiwan, how can they go with a large amount of silver when they flee?

"My lord, they are willing to follow the arrangement!" At this time, Kang Taiping also came over, with two middle-aged people.

One of them was the one who had spoken to Shen Yue before.

"My lord, this is the old dog Yasuhiro, who didn't understand the adult's intention to defend us before, and contradicted the adult." Kang Taiping's words confirmed Shen Yue's previous guess.

But he also understands that anyone wants a better life.

"In the future, let him follow you to help organize production activities on the island!" Shen Yue nodded, he had something on his mind, and didn't say anything.

The other person is also the leader of the team, and everyone takes turns to dry the salt on weekdays.

The people of the island are still very united in this regard.

This time the disaster made everyone hungry, and if Qian Longxi didn't solve it, I don't know how many people would starve to death.

"Those who meet the requirements will enter the Minzhuang reserve team, and those who do not meet will be assigned to the team. Kang Lao, please bring people and recount the household registration. Shen Yue said to Kang Taiping, there are so many more people at present, and the household registration handed over to him by Qian Longxi is useless at all.

Kang Taiping's face darkened, and he asked Shen Yue, "My lord, are these all included in the military registration of the Thousand Households Guarding the Imperial Palace?" ”

"No, register separately, and the Thousand Households Guarding the Imperial House will no longer have military registration, and will be replaced by all conscripts in the future. The land reclaimed on the island, like the house, belonged to me before, and everyone is allowed to buy it back in the future, pay 40% of the rent, and the rest will go to the people who planted the land. Shen Yue's words made Kang Taiping kneel down and kowtow to him again to thank him.

made Shen Yue speechless.

This old man seems to like to kneel?

Anyway, this island was not included in the tax apportionment of the imperial court at all, and it should have belonged to the people on these islands, but Shen Yue suddenly became his own private land because he assigned this island to the territory of the Thousand Households.

Maybe Qian Longxi and others don't know the wealth above at all, or maybe they feel that the island is lonely overseas.

"Shen Jiu, carry out the selection of the people, and don't want those who are disobedient." There are many people, and Young Master Shen's team naturally only needs the best.

"Young master, it's not good." At noon, Shen Qi's boat came back, and as soon as he saw Shen Yue, he cried and shouted.

"What's wrong? Could it be that the pirates have come ashore? "Shen Yue can't wait to kick this dog's leg into the sea." Is there anything you can't say? ”

"Young master, there are a large number of victims from Longshan and Wujiawan Wharf who have dragged their families to join ......," Shen Qi said with a sad face.

"Isn't that a good thing?" Shen Yue asked.

"Young master, these people have to be fed, how much food do they get? Before, Steward Yang Fu asked people to talk everywhere, our workshop needs to recruit people, and the young master's Minzhuang team needs to recruit people...... No one wanted to come before, but now that there is a disaster, there is no disaster relief in Dinghai County, and the victims have come to us. Especially when I heard that working in our workshop, there is 30 yuan per day; After our people were not paid a high salary, they begged for nothing, and gathered outside our house to beg for take-in......" Shen Qi was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Shen Yue was also about to cry.

How to solve this matter?

"What does Lord Xu say about this?" Longshan is Xu Yaozong's territory.

"Your Excellency lets you solve it yourself, the victims can't always gather in Longshansho, otherwise it will be easy to cause a rebellion. The old lady took Sister Yue'er to give porridge, and the food at home was about to run out. The old lady asked you to go back and solve it! ”

"How many victims are here?" The Shen family has a lot of food reserves.

It's all running out?

"At least thousands......" Shen Qi cried with a sad face.

Shen Yue felt that he was about to collapse.

Do you have to bear the food for 10,000 people? If they are all stored, how will they be fed?

"Shen Jiu, you choose someone here, after you choose it, let Qin Yuan take it to Wujiawan Wharf, which is suitable for drills and disrupts the formation......" Shen Yue could no longer stay on the island.

Then he found Kang Taiping and his son, and asked them to recruit manpower to level a piece of land near the north of the salt pan and build a school barracks, which needed to be close to the seaside port and suitable for large ships to dock.

Later, regardless of the Kang family's father and son, they didn't understand this at all, and went directly to Shen Qi's ship and returned to Longshan.

When he arrived at the Longshan Station, when he saw the victims sitting on the ground like this, the black pressure of the victims, he couldn't help but feel big.

"You say it yourself, how is this handled? Once the civil unrest is provoked, who will bear the consequences? "Xu Yaozong was at the Shen family, originally discussing the affairs of these victims with Qin Yulian, but when he saw Shen Yue coming back, he immediately became angry.

"Young master, this matter is not handled by the villain!" Yang Fu also cried with a sad face.

"How long can the food at home last?" Shen Yue knew that he couldn't be in a hurry now, and he had to figure out how long the food at home could last.

"The food at home is less than 200 stones, and there are more than 4,000 victims, each person has half a catty of grain per day, and they have to consume more than 20 stone of rice a day. As a housekeeper, Yang Fu is naturally very clear about the money and food at home.
