Chapter 22 The general trend of the world
Song Boming shook his head: "Master Hou, let me give you an example, if you are the son of a gang leader, and your two elder brothers are fighting for the position of the gang leader, because you no longer have the ability to compete for the position of the gang leader, so your two elder brothers do not pay attention to you, but this does not mean that your two elder brothers do not pay attention to you, if your two elder brothers find that their younger brother has a desire for the position of the gang leader, what do you say they will do?" β
Li Yao said: "Either co-opt, or suppress, or watch from the wall!" β
Song Boming said: "Master Hou, you only said the first half, whether it is suppressed or co-opted, whether you ignore it!" Once one of your two elder brothers becomes the leader, no matter how much you woo or suppress you in the past, they will eventually imprison you, or even kill you directly! β
Li Yao was taken aback: "This won't be, the two brothers have always been very good to me!" And I've never coveted the throne of King Qi! β
Song Boming smiled bitterly: "Master Hou, you are too naΓ―ve, if you don't covet it, it doesn't mean that others will think so!" I guess since you moved a million refugees, your two brothers have been wary of you! You don't covet it, why do you stay in the fiefdom and enjoy yourself with peace of mind, why do you want to take in nearly a million refugees, those refugees have been outside Dingbian County for two months, why no one has taken them, but are waiting for you to relocate? And the 10,000 foot soldiers stationed outside the county are obviously here to spy on you, so it can be seen that your father is not very relieved about you! β
Li Yao didn't think too much about it when he was preparing to relocate the refugees, he just felt that these refugees were the foundation of his own development, and if he missed this opportunity, he might never meet them again in the future!
So what should I do in your opinion?
Song Boming said solemnly: "Break it into pieces and scatter millions of people to various counties!" β
"It can't be!" Li Yao refused. "I'm still of great use to these refugees."
Then you can only pull these refugees to the Gobi Desert to open up the wasteland, and Master Hou, you must not use the idea of conscription now!
Li Yao nodded, then let's do it first! It's a matter of a little bit more for you.
Song Boming arched his hand and turned around and was about to leave, but Li Yao stopped him, "Song County Order, stay!" β
Song Boming glanced at Li Yao in surprise: "I don't know what else the Hou Ye has to explain!" β
Li Yao said: "You come back first, I know that I was abrupt about this relocation of refugees, and I want to ask now, what impact has my relocation of refugees caused this time?" β
Song Boming was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Master Hou, you have done a little abrupt about the relocation of refugees, did you think about moving refugees at the beginning, otherwise why did you ask all the grain merchants to buy grain." β
Li Yao was broken by Song Boming, blushed and said, "Yes, I just came here and had this plan!" β
Master Hou, it's good that you have this plan, it seems that you also want to do something for your fiefdom, but you have too many refugees who have migrate, do you know how many countries you have migrated nearly a million refugees? Although other countries have attracted refugees to a greater or lesser extent, you are the first to have migrated nearly a million refugees like you at one time.
Now Qi has become the target of public criticism. Fortunately, the strength of our Qi country is relatively strong, and the king of Qi is also relatively tough, so other countries have not said anything for the time being? But when they have absorbed all the refugees from the Jin Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom will come to you for trouble, and other countries will watch from the sidelines, who will let us be the first one!
Li Yao smiled: "Jin State, Jin State is very good to be able to protect itself now, two years of drought, coupled with the invasion of the Turks, our country has not fallen into the well, it is very good!" β
Master Hou, you are right, the Jin Kingdom is indeed very weak now, but what about a few years later, how about the Jin Kingdom in a few years? The Jin Kingdom has been fighting with foreigners all year round, and its military strength is very strong! If this is used as an excuse to start a war against our country, then our situation will not be good!
Li Yao smiled and said: "Song County Order, you can rest assured, my father will not let me go!" β
Song Xian Ling smiled at this time: "Master Hou, you think too highly of yourself, I have heard of it before, you are the first gentleman in Qi country, and we can all see King Qi's indulgence of you!" But you've made a big mistake this time! With a population of millions, you can't even rely on your own army! Not to mention too much, there are 20,000 troops set up among you, a million refugees, one is called the Pipe Pot Army, and the other is called the Temporary Management Army! Although these 20,000 troops are a ragtag army, they do exist. β
Song Boming paused, "The most important thing now is to pass through King Qi, first of all, to cancel these two armies, and secondly, in order to facilitate the management of refugees, so the refugees must all be dispersed, and 5,000 people are a village, and militarized management is implemented!" They are not allowed to move around each other, and they must send secret agents to carry out surveillance, and if they find that they are disseminating speech at home, and any speech that is not conducive to the management of speech, they will be killed on the spot! Since you have brought people over, we can't let them go back! β
In addition, Master Hou, it's time for you to spend your money now, and now you can start making friends with some powerful people in the Jin Kingdom, so that it may come in handy in a few years!
Master Hou, in addition, your rice grain is estimated to have to find a way, although you sent those rice merchants to buy grain, but now that you have received millions of refugees, Liang Chao will inevitably be a little worried, so the food you buy in the future may not necessarily arrive on time!
Li Yao said with a smile: "I don't care very much about whether the grain can be delivered on time, because this time I got more than 3 million loads of grain from Dingbian County, and there is no shortage of grain for the time being, but for the grain merchants in this county, I think they should be allowed to pay the grain on time for the time being, after all, they have made a note with them in black and white, and doing business is originally profitable and compensating, and it will not hurt the muscles and bones if you lose it once!" β
Song Boming said: "Hou Ye, you say it is reasonable, since the grain merchants in our county have promised Hou Ye, you don't have to worry that those merchants will break their promises, they will still do business in your fiefdom in the future, even if you can't buy grain in the east, it's okay to buy some grain at a high price in other counties in your country, but you will hurt the hearts of the grain merchants if you do this, you did it, and you can't buy food in the east but it has something to do with you, my suggestion is that the grain must be paid in full, But they can pay later, and when the wind loosens up after a while, they can still buy food in Dongdu! You won't lose money that way. By doing so, you are making the grain merchants owe you a favor. β
Li Yao was silent for a moment: "I can think about this matter, but Song County Order, if you use your power for personal gain in this matter, don't blame me for not talking about the old feelings!" β
Song County Ling nodded: "Master Hou, I can't hide it, I have some thoughts about the grain merchants in this matter of transporting grain, and the biggest grain merchant in this county is my brother-in-law!" But I can assure you that I will not do anything to use power for personal gain, and if you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate! If I don't say anything, I'll send myself to prison immediately! β
Li Yao saw that Song County Order confessed to him, but he had a clear conscience, and said with a smile: "Song County Order, I still believe in you, besides, you are still needed to do the resettlement of nearly one million refugees this time!" β
By the way, the county magistrate, you can now start arranging for those refugees to dig the canal, I already have a way to divert water from the mountain, and then you can call those who have explored the water source on the mountain, and then gather at the county office. Let's go get water.
Song Xianling said happily: "Master Hou, do you have a way?" If we can get water from the mountains, we will definitely be able to feed the refugees received by our county! β
