Chapter 180: How to Resettle Hundreds of Thousands of Displaced People?

Western capital.

Wang Xu has been very busy these days, selling wine, inspecting various work, and relocating displaced people, so he really doesn't even have time to eat.

Even Wang Xu didn't have a free day, let alone Jia Hui, as the Minister of Military Aircraft, he wanted to govern all the affairs of the Western Capital, and as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, he had to deal with important matters of Wenyuan Pavilion, and he was already busy with his feet not touching the ground, but I don't know when, countless people came, and these people brought their families and mouths, and they were all clamoring to enter the Western Capital.

Fortunately, Wenyuan Pavilion has begun to take shape, Jia Hui temporarily threw everything to those newly recruited teachers, anyway, Wenyuan Pavilion is not a big deal, it is nothing more than sorting out books and materials to register and make books, and then cultivate some students, these things Mr. Teaching is fully competent.

The Military Aircraft Department is relatively busy, it has to investigate and draw maps, count the population, money and food, and so on, but no matter how busy it is, it must first resettle the displaced people, Wang Xu has already said, and now the resettlement of the displaced people is the first major matter.

Under Wang Xu's instructions, Jia Hui has already dispatched 10,000 troops out of the city to maintain law and order, stabilized the displaced people outside the city, and learned the reason.

At this moment, in the Chengqian Palace, Wang Xu held a meeting, and the participants were all officials above the seventh grade.

Wang Xu looked at Jia Hui and asked, "Has the situation been clarified?" ”

Jia Hui said: "I have figured it out, I am exempt from paying all taxes in the western capital, and there are naturally many people who come to take refuge, even the people of Beijun and Qingyuan County have come, and the lowly sent people to count, there are no less than 200,000 displaced people outside the city, and it is still increasing, all thinking of settling down in the western capital, in order to prevent riots in the city." The lowly has ordered all the gates of the city to be closed and forbidden for all to enter or leave. ”

Wang Xu took a deep breath, the people's will can be relied on, as the saying goes, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and he has his own reason.

It's a good thing that people come to take refuge, but. It's too much, it's not good, hundreds of thousands of people, how to settle it, if it is not done well, it is easy to riot.

Sun Yu said: "My lord, the last general will discuss that all the people will be put into the city, resettled, and open a porridge shop to provide relief." As for the issue of public security, the lord does not need to worry, and the last general will lead troops to patrol day and night. ”

The people must be settled, but they must not blindly open the city gates, because half of these people are homeless, and they are different from the people of the counties, they are all dying, and entering the city will definitely cause riots, and what will happen to the people in the city at that time? So. What Sun Yu said was rejected by Wang Xu.

Huang Quan said: "There are three more cities to the west, and each city can accommodate 50,000 displaced people. In this way, the pressure will be much less, and you can also find something to do for those county orders, saving them from panic all day long. ”

Wang Xu smiled: "How do you know that they have nothing to do all day, although the county order has a low official position, they guard one side and protect the people of the county." It's a lot of credit. ”

"Of course, the strategy you said for relocating displaced people is also very good and can be adopted, but what you said is not detailed enough."

Wang Xu probed his brain and looked at a Confucian standing at the back of the main hall, and that Confucian was Murong Yuan. He has been a county magistrate for half a month, his political performance is very good, and his official reputation is also good.

Wang Xu said suddenly: "Murong Yuan, I heard that you have a lot of experience in governing the county, why don't you say your opinion at this time." ”

Murong Yuan bowed respectfully, his expression was not humble or silent, and said: "King Qiyuwen, all the ministers have good strategies, so there is no need for Weichen to be grandstanding." ”

Wang Xu smiled, he understood Murong Yuan very well, there are many people with higher positions than him in this hall, like Jia Hui and Sun Yu, these people are all Wang Xu's direct ministers, if Murong Yuan comes forward to steal the limelight from everyone, will there be a good life in the future, especially Jia Hui, that is the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and the minister of military aircraft, is his supreme leader, besides, if the strategy is not good, King Wen will not like it, anyway, it is not good to do anything, since this is the case, what else to say, be silent.

Of course, Wang Xu wanted to prevent this kind of thing from happening, his eyes swept over everyone in the hall, and said: "You don't have any scruples, in this Chengqian Palace, no matter the level of your position, no matter your background, you can speak freely, no matter what you say is right or wrong, this king will never blame in vain." ”

Looking at Murong Yuan, Wang Xu said coldly: "But if you have a good plan and don't say it, then the king will be angry." ”

Murong Yuan's life experience has been investigated by Jinyiwei clearly, the Murong family was originally a big family in Bao'an County, and there are many talents in the clan, who can write and martial arts, and also have a very high status in the court, Murong Yuan is a member of the clan, but he is a concubine, and he is not treated by the clan.

At this time, hearing Wang Xu's words, Murong Yuan Zhengse said: "King Wen, Weichen has discussed, according to the vacant land in each county, the people will be divided into each county, first to meet the three counties in the west, and then the remaining displaced people will stay in the western capital, and a refugee camp can be set up between the outer city and the inner city of the western capital to temporarily distribute gruel relief." ”

Wang Xu nodded, what Murong Yuan said was more detailed, 'The people are divided into counties, and the displaced people stay in the western capital', it is indeed a good idea, but the displaced people are different from the people who have moved in, they do not have any property, they cannot take care of themselves, and they all rely on the government to help, this is not just a meal or two of relief, it must be relieved all the time, in the long run, I am afraid that even if there is more food, it will be empty for the displaced people, you must know that this is hundreds of thousands of displaced people, and it is still increasing.

Murong Yuan was watching Wang Xu's reaction at this time, and Wang Xu said, "You go on." ”

Murong Yuan said: "The people who are assigned to each county must register and make a register, rent the barren land to them, and the government can collect rent every year. ”

When Wang Xu heard this, he interrupted: "There is no need to collect rent, we didn't collect any taxes from the original people, why do we have to collect other people's taxes?" It's not fair, and the people will be resentful. ”

"King Wen really loves the people like a son, and he obeys the ministers." Murong Yuan was shocked, and immediately made a big salute to Wang Xu.

Throughout the ages, how can there be an official government that does not collect land tax, and it is also the people from other counties, if all the governments in the world can do this, then the world will really be peaceful, I am afraid that no one will do it if they spend money to invite people to rebel.

Wang Xu said: "There are at least more than 150,000 displaced people staying in the Western Capital, and it continues to increase, what are you going to do?" Let me tell you first, I don't have so much food to open a porridge shop, and if I continue to give porridge like this, we will be eaten poor by the displaced people in the western capital. ”

This is what Wang Xu is most worried about, there is not much food in the first place, only enough for the army to eat in June, if there is still 200,000 displaced people, then whether the food can last until the New Year is a problem. ”

King Wen doesn't prepare a soup kitchen? Everyone in the hall was surprised, this is not like King Wen's style, Sun Yu frowned even more.

Jia Hui glanced back at Murong Yuan, he also wanted to hear Murong Yuan's high opinion and see how to settle those hundreds of thousands of displaced people.

Murong Yuan said: "The soup soup will definitely be given, but we can take back the soup next year, and the food will be more!" ”

As soon as Murong Yuan finished speaking, everyone in the hall was puzzled, what kind of strategy was this? Can the food be harvested back after being eaten by the displaced people?

Wang Xu also became interested, and said eagerly: "You go on." (To be continued......)
