This meeting was presided over by Xiao Mo, and the first thing to talk about was about draining the water, how to cooperate with the three towns, and the chief bookkeeper Lu Lu, as the chief engineer, also participated in the discussion. 【&n】

The process of deliberations has been smooth, and Lin Chong, Qiao Zheng and Chen Gongruo all said that they would obey Lu Lu's arrangement and fully cooperate with the drainage.

It wasn't until Xiao Mo said that all the victims would be resettled in the three towns that the three Li Zheng frowned and said to Li Ji: "My lord, why is this? ”

Originally, the three towns could no longer support it, of course, the situation in Tongshan Town, where Lin Chong was located, was better, but it was unwilling to accept these victims anymore!

Li Ji didn't answer the questions of the three, but pointed at Xiao Mo, the meaning was very clear, if there is any problem, you go and ask him!

Of the three Lizheng, two of them were their elders, and they were not satisfied, so Xiao Mo had no choice but to smile and say: "The matter of the disaster victims is indeed something that Xiao Mo came up with, isn't there a shortage of labor in the arid area now?" Eighty percent of these victims are men who can farm and cultivate land; Moreover, you also need helpers to open iron mines and build windmills, which is why the victims are sent to you! ”

Xiao Mo said that it is indeed good, the loss of population is also a big problem for the three towns, Xiao Mo did this, it is indeed to ensure that the three towns can continue to cultivate the fields and maintain prosperity after the successful drainage, but the problem is that even if the windmill is built, it will not be able to catch up with the spring planting, and it will be held until the autumn harvest, and the three towns will have food.

Although Lin Chong, Qiao Zheng and Chen Gongruo all brought a lot of car frames to the county seat according to Li Ji's words, they didn't know that they were asked to load food, otherwise, I was afraid that the three of them would not only bring such a number of car frames.

Seeing the worries of Lin Chong and the others, Xiao Mo said: "Don't worry, since the three towns can accept the victims, then according to the proportion of quantity, the county will also send grain to the three towns, but because the county is now short of food, so I have to take out all the three thousand stone grain at the bottom of the Fengping box, and it depends on whether you want it!" ”

Hearing that there was food, Lin Chong and Chen Gongruo's eyes lit up, only Qiao Zheng could still keep calm, the disaster in Tongshan Town was not very serious, much better than Changle Town and Qiao'an Town, Qiao Zheng asked Xiao Mo: "Don't play tricks on us, you talk about it first, how to divide this food and the victims?" ”

Xiao Mo said: "It's very simple, there are a total of 400 disaster victims, of which 100 are old and weak children, and 300 are laborers, these disaster victims, after arriving in your town, they will let them settle down on the ground and take root, and become residents of your town from now on, of course, according to the head, the grain county will be distributed to you, such as Tongshan Town, only three or four Zhuangzi have been affected, and there is not much labor, so they will be divided into 70 disaster victims, including 50 men who can farm, and 20 old and weak children, these 70 people, You can get 500 stone of grain! ”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Mo said to Chen Gongruo: "The disaster in Qiao'an Town is more serious, so I will divide a hundred men and forty old and weak children to go over, and then distribute 1,000 stone of food!" ”

Hearing that Qiao'an Town had received a thousand stone of grain, Qiao Zheng's face twitched, but he continued to listen to Xiao Mo quietly: "Ladies and gentlemen, because Changle Town has to mine iron ore, replenish labor, and build windmills, the remaining victims will be given to Changle Town, and the remaining 1,500 stone grain will also be distributed to Changle Town!" ”

"Humph!" After Xiao Mo said that, Qiao Zheng's face immediately changed, and he said to Xiao Mo: "Why are they two towns, one is 1,500 stone grain, and the other is 1,000 stone grain?" ”

Xiao Mo said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, didn't you say it just now, according to the proportion of the victims, the distribution of these grains, with five hundred stones, it is estimated that it will be enough for Tongshan Town to last until the end of the year, and when it comes to the autumn harvest, the grain will be there, what is rare?" ”

At the end, Xiao Mo said to Lin Chong and Chen Gongruo: "The two are positive, Xiao Mo is a junior, but I still have to say here that if the country is happy, the people will be for the people!" No matter how difficult the country is, the people will be dogs! Since we have led them there, we must be responsible for them, in addition to hurrying up the work and leading them to build their own houses, we must also take into account the emotions of the victims, avoid contradictions, and resolve them in a timely manner......

After explaining a lot, Xiao Mo looked serious, which was in stark contrast to the expression of being a scoundrel in front of Qiao Zheng just now, seeing Xiao Mo so cautious, Lin Chong and Chen Gongruo both nodded, and finally Qiao Zheng.

Although he had a straight face, Qiao Zheng didn't dare to say anything disagreeable, and finally Xiao Mo said: "These grains, you can transport them away tonight, but you have to wait until the time is over, as for the amount, you need to cooperate with the three Lizheng, Tongshan Town will transport away three hundred stones first, and the difference is two hundred stones; Qiao'an Town transported 600 stones first, and the difference was 400 stones; Changle Town is the same, 900 stones are transported first, and 600 stones are missing. The county will make up the difference in mid-April, how about it? ”

Hearing that every town had to have some food, the faces of the three Li Zheng were a little reluctant, especially Qiao Zheng, who originally got the least amount of food, only five hundred stones, but now it has become three hundred stones, and their faces are all black!

But Xiao Mo took out three notes in front of the three of them, which clearly wrote the matter of the grain in the three towns in the county, and even the amount and the date of return were also written, especially the words on the note, which was written 'borrowed' instead of 'poor', so the three of them finally agreed.

From beginning to end, Li Ji didn't speak, it was all Xiao Mo who single-handedly copied the matter of rehousing the victims, until Lin Chong, Qiao Zheng and Chen Gongruo signed the note, Li Ji said: "The three are all highly respected people in this county, presumably they will not be entrusted by the county, ignore the disaster victims and ignore them, if this situation really occurs, don't blame the county for being ruthless!" ”

The county order spoke, and the three of them could do anything other than agree?

Finally, Xiao Mo bowed to the three Li Zheng and said, "Please, three!" In addition to the affairs of the victims, everyone must fully cooperate with the work of Master Lu in the future, Xiao Mo means that the three Li Zheng are also the supervisors of the construction of the windmill this time, and help Master Lu there, as for how to do it, that is a matter for you to discuss, anyway, the plan has been given to Master Lu, and in the low of May, the beginning of June, I want to see the windmill, standing on the water! That's all for today's discussion, but you have to keep this food matter secret, and you can't leak the slightest rumor! ”

After that, Xiao Mo left the study, and the three Lizheng were invited by Lu Lu.

Lu Lu invited the three of them to discuss the specific distribution of the victims, but Xiao Mo did not go, because there was no need to do everything personally, and some things still needed to be completed by themselves.

After discussing it with Li Zheng of the Three Towns, Xiao Mo returned to the public house, but saw Zhou Chang's attendant Gao Yuan waiting for him.

After Xiao Mo and Gao Yuan met, Gao Yuan said in Xiao Mo's ear: "My lord asked me to tell Shaofu that the soldiers I wanted for my lord have fallen, and now I am on standby in the City Supervision Department, and I asked Shaofu if he went over in person?" ”

The van soldiers are coming so soon?

Xiao Mo was a little surprised, it seems that Zhou Chang's execution ability is still quite strong, nodding, Xiao Mo asked Gao Yuan to lead the way, so he let Zhou Kui push himself, walked out of the yamen, and then got into the carriage!
