There were no land disputes, and the resettlement sites were up and running smoothly. Except for a small number of wealthy families who rebuilt themselves in the city, most of the people who originally lived in Tongzhou City were resettled in the four resettlement sites outside the city gates. Then, next to the official road from Jingshi to Tongzhou, a resettlement point was set up every eight miles, with a minimum of several thousand people at each point and a maximum of tens of thousands of people, basically temporarily resettled the 100,000 people in Tongzhou.

Since it is a resettlement site, the first thing to do is to solve the problem of housing. It is certainly too late to build a house now, and the four resettlement sites outside Tongzhou are only temporary residences, and it is impossible to build permanent houses.

In the past, refugees who fled the famine generally built their own shacks, to put it bluntly, they used a few pieces of wood to build a shelf and spread some dry grass on it, which was considered a nest. Although it is easy to set up, the disadvantages are also very obvious: it can only shade the sun, and it is okay to block the wind, but once it is windy or rainy, the shack is completely useless. Moreover, it was late autumn, the weather was getting colder and colder, the cold protection of the shacks was too poor, and it was not yet fireproof, so Zhu Youzhen naturally would not take this kind of means to resettle the refugees.

The other is the tent. Tents were first invented by nomads and later adopted in the army, mainly made of wood, canvas and felt. It has the advantage of being lightweight, windproof, and snowproof, but the disadvantage is that it is less rainproof and is not fireproof. For the people on the grassland, it doesn't matter if the tent is not rainproof, because the prairie is dry and rainless; But for the North China Plain, it is now the season of continuous autumn rains, and the canvas is completely wet and leaking in the first half of the day.

But having a tent is better than nothing. As early as the time of the defense of the Beijing Division, Zhu Youzhen ordered the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Engineering to purchase a large number of tents, and for a time set off a rush to make tents in the Beijing Division. In Tongzhou alone, 5,000 tents have been distributed across eight settlements. Each tent can sleep more than 20 people, which is theoretically enough to meet the needs of all refugees.

In addition to tents, there is another new thing that has appeared for the first time in this era, and that is the prefabricated house.

In the past life, prefabricated houses were commonplace, and they could be seen on any construction site. It uses light steel as the skeleton, sandwich panel as the enclosure material, and the components are connected by bolts or rivets, which can be easily and quickly assembled and disassembled, and can realize the general standardization of temporary buildings.

Compared to tents, which are also temporary shelters, prefabricated houses have several important advantages. First of all, its thermal insulation and rainproof properties are very outstanding, not inferior to permanent buildings. For example, in the rainy Jiangnan region, the Mongolian tents are almost useless, and even the huts made of thatch are not as good as the cloth still absorbs water.

Second, prefabricated houses are much more durable than tents. The main material of the tent is canvas, which can be broken with a sharp cut, and it wears out relatively quickly in the wind and sun. The prefabricated house is different, as long as you don't use a sledgehammer, the paint surface of the board is usually maintained, and there is no problem at all with ten or eight years.

Thirdly, the activity method is more fire-resistant, which is particularly important in resettlement sites with large populations. Historically, fires in refugee settlements have been commonplace, causing even greater casualties than the disaster itself. Because whether it is a shack or a tent, it is all caught on fire, and the fire is very easy to spread. The prefabricated house is different, the material itself is fireproof, and the construction is very neat, and it is almost impossible for the fire to spread quickly.

As a person who has traveled through time, Zhu Youzhen must of course introduce modern advanced things into this era as much as possible. Of course, things that are too high-tech can't be done, but things like prefabricated houses are not technically difficult to do, and the ancients just didn't think of it.

At the beginning, he proposed the concept of prefabricated houses to Sun Yuanlong and others in the arsenal, and the purpose was also for military purposes. Sun Yuanlong and others immediately carried out trial production according to Zhu Youjian's description, and it was soon made. Originally, the construction of prefabricated houses is similar to that of ordinary houses, and they must follow the mechanical structure of building houses. For the skilled craftsmen of ancient times, making beams from steel was not a problem at all.

The only panels used for enclosure are composite panels made of insulation and cement in modern times. But these things did not exist in this era, so craftsmen used iron sheets nailed to the outside of wooden planks instead. Although the performance is a little worse than that of modern plates, it can still be used.

Therefore, the arsenal has long begun to mass-produce parts of the prefabricated house, especially after the end of the defense of Beijing, Zhu Youzhen ordered Sun Yuanlong to set aside half of the manpower to make the prefabricated house. On the official road from Jingshi to Tongzhou, there is a lot of traffic every day, and after the materials of a set of prefabricated houses are delivered, they are assembled by craftsmen on the spot.

Not to mention the refugees, even those officials who had seen some of the world, seeing a brand new house appear in front of them like a trick in less than half an hour, they all opened their mouths in shock, and finally couldn't help but cheer loudly!

However, compared with tents, the number of prefabricated houses is still relatively small, and Zhu Youzhen did not distribute them to refugees at will, but used them as office space and workers' dormitories.

The so-called workers were actually newly recruited by Zhu Youzhen from among the refugees, and they were all ordinary people in Tongzhou City in the past. These people have long since lost their land for various reasons, or they are engaged in small business in the city, or they serve dignitaries, or they make a living by selling coolies on the Grand Canal. Now that the city of Tongzhou has burned to the ground, the environment they rely on for their livelihood no longer exists, and if they rely solely on relief, it will definitely become a heavy burden; If you leave it alone, you will definitely starve to death.

But Zhu Youzhen would not be worried about this kind of thing, and he just took this opportunity to recruit a large number of workers from the refugees. This is not comparable to when he was in Qinwangzhuang, when he recruited people from landed farmers, and if he wanted to recruit people, he had to pay a relatively high salary. Now, if not, refugees have no choice, as long as they are paid, or even if they are fed, they will not hesitate to apply.

In just three days, 20,000 workers were recruited from eight resettlement sites in Tongzhou. The treatment is three meals a day, and the monthly salary is 500 yuan, that is, half a tael of silver. Even with such a low salary, the registration office was crowded, and many people who were brushed down because of their poor health couldn't help but burst into tears and refused to leave in the vicinity. It wasn't until Gu Yanwu personally assured them that the government would properly resettle those who could not become workers, as well as all the women, old and young, to ensure that they would not go hungry, that everyone dispersed in disbelief.

Late that night, after the exhausted Gu Yanwu reported the recruitment situation to Zhu Youzhen, he asked with a little worry: "What is the use of recruiting so many workers at once?" ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled confidently: "This is simple, if you want to get rich, build roads first!" ”
