Chapter 212: The Thief Ship Gets Bigger and Bigger

Because of Kong Youde's rebellion, at Zhang Yao's insistence, Dengzhou Mansion did not sit idly by and watch the lives of 100,000 Liaodong refugees. When Chen Xie sent out the troops, Song Yi had already begun to deal with it. 100,000 is a terrible number, but this time the wave of refugees did not form a terrible accumulation scene at the beginning, as in the past.

The earliest refugees appeared after the Battle of the Daling River in August last year. 66 came across the sea continuously.

Thanks to the vigorous exhibition of industry and commerce in Dengzhou, the craftsmen among these people quickly found a place to eat.

After all, craftsmen are a minority, and it is necessary to come forward to divert at this time. Zhang Yao made great efforts in this matter, and with the cooperation of Song Yi, last year's bumper harvest in Dengzhou gave the diversion of food and creation conditions. Over the past few months, about 10,000 refugees have been accepted by local workshops in Dengzhou, where they have a place to eat. About 30,000 refugees were accepted by Laizhou, and about 8,000 refugees were accepted in Zhaoyuan County alone, and 3,000 strong men became miners, working for their lives. About 20,000 refugees were received from Ninghai Prefecture and other subordinate counties.

Although it was handled properly before, this time the number of displaced people was too large, and they were dealt with in batches, and gradually the hedgehogs gathered on the coast of Dengzhou to find a bite to eat. After the New Year, Zhang Biao also took more than 10,000 people to Changyi to farm, and the number of refugees who stayed in Dengzhou was no less than 50,000. What Dengzhou Mansion can do is to set up a porridge shack, and hang the lives of these people first for one meal a day. Even if it is one meal a day, Dengzhou Mansion has lasted for almost two months, and there is not much food in the treasury.

At this time, Sun Yuanhua was finally in the mood to deal with this matter. If it weren't for the appearance of Chen Xie, there would have been a protracted rebellion in the entire Denglai area, with many county towns such as Huangxian and Pingdu. All conquered by the rebels. 100,000 refugees provided a large supply of troops for the Dengzhou rebels. In this time and space, refugees are also a headache. The Battle of the Daling River, the mutiny in Dongjiang Town, and the continuous war led to a sharp increase in the number of refugees.

If these refugees are not dealt with, the trouble will be great. Chen Xie knew this very well in his heart, but there were some things he couldn't take the initiative.

After the carriage entered the city, it did not go to Sun Yuanhua, but first went to the building of the United Firm. Chen Xie's appearance caused a small commotion. Liu Qing walked down quickly from upstairs and stood at the foot of the steps and bowed slightly to wait for Chen Xie to get off the bus.

"How's Zheng Zhilong's talk over there?" Chen Xie didn't get out of the car, and opened the door directly in the car to ask questions. Unification Alliance

"Don't if you're over forty. Three taels of silver for those over thirty years old, and five taels of silver for those over fourteen years old. Half for women. ”

Chen Xie on the carriage was silent for a while before he said, "Sue his people, this deal is yellow." Let's prepare to implement the second set of plans, these people we have to digest. ”

Liu Qingdao: "Boss, it's good to talk about it in Xincheng." No less than 200,000 acres of land can be acquired. It can consume at least 20,000 people. If the price is right, you should be able to buy an additional 100,000 mu. The key now is Changyi, where we have only won a total of 150,000 acres of land. Individual gentry are very face-saving, and Zhu Wannian of Laizhou Mansion is not very face-saving. ”

Chen Xie pinched his chin and thought about it, "Forget it, don't worry about him." You tell you to go down and buy as much land as you can. ”

The car door closed, and Liu Qing took a step back: "Congratulations to the owner." ”

Chen Xie in the carriage. Rubbing his head with one hand, the problem encountered in the Ming Dynasty was the land problem. Especially those with gentry backgrounds, not only do they not have to pay taxes. It also wantonly annexed land. These people are the moths of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Xie really wants to hold high the banner of fighting local tyrants and dividing the land, but now it is obviously unrealistic. Governments everywhere are facing pressure from refugees. The refugees gathered in the Denglai area were digested in the real sense, but only 30%. Other words. There are at least 70,000 refugees, and local governments are helping them. The long-term existence of these people. It will inevitably bring tremendous pressure to the government.

The fact that Dengzhou's industry and commerce have digested more than 10,000 refugees is still beyond Chen Xie's expectations. After several years of cultivation. The exhibition of industry and commerce in Dengzhou can be described as fast, and it is no less than the Jiangnan area. The downside is that the place is still too small. The most efficient way to digest the population is through industry. But now Dengzhou, there is not much industry. Except for the factories run by Chen Xie, the others can only be regarded as workshops.

"Dengzhou Mansion has tried its best, and if you don't want to do anything else, you can't hold on. Now the number of hedgehogs gathered in the north and west of the city is increasing, even if there is one meal a day soup porridge, it is a huge number. Lord Zhongcheng, you can't sit idly by. ”

Song Yi had a crying voice, Chen Xie heard it outside the courtyard wall, bypassing the screen in the courtyard, the ministers gathered in front of the council hall, discussing how to deal with the refugees. When Chen Xie, who was dressed in civilian clothes, appeared, Sun Yuanhua stood up with a swish, scaring everyone else. Sun Yuanhua walked down the steps quickly, and the other officials had to follow out, which was equivalent to welcoming Chen Xie collectively. Spiritual Mage

This scene frightened Chen Xie, stood in place and looked around, looked at Sun Yuanhua and waved excitedly: "Sihua, come on, I'm waiting for you." Chen Xie looked around, there was no general. At present, in Dengzhou City, there seems to be no other military generals in charge, just one Wang Qinian. Chen Liangmo, the deputy general, was beaten to Lushun by Sun Yuanhua and sent additional troops to Huanglong.

"Lord Zhongcheng, all the people present are Chen Xie's officials, isn't that right?" Chen Xie stood still and didn't move, Sun Yuanhua realized that he had lost his honor, hahaha laughed to hide his feelings, and said: "Benxian is really in a hurry, tens of thousands of refugees." Sihua didn't go to the north and west of the city to see, on the field on both sides of the road, the shacks and hedgehogs gathered, just a nest, and a few families were huddled together. At present, it is all dependent on the relief of Dengzhou Mansion to survive, and something big will happen in the long run. ”

Song Yi also stepped forward and arched his hand: "Sihua, this mansion begs you, hurry up and think of something." Now more than 20 people are dying of illness every day, and if we don't deal with it, the weather will get warmer, and the outbreak of a major epidemic will be a disaster. ”

As far as these words are concerned, Song Yi is a qualified official, not the kind of ungrounded goods. Chen Xie took a step forward and arched his hand: "Zhongcheng, Uncle Zhang, Deputy Envoy Song, Governor Song." Since everyone is here, Chen Xie is rude today, and when everything is handled properly, Chen Xie will make amends to all the officials. ”

"Okay, don't come to these false courtesies, your eyebrows are burning. Come in and talk! Zhang Yao spoke, and Chen Xie walked up the steps and sat down in the conference hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, these days, Chen Xie is also thinking about this matter, and he has a few directions." Chen Xie paused for a moment, and Deputy Envoy Song Guanglan immediately answered: "Hurry up, everyone is waiting, don't make trouble again." ”

Everyone agrees with this, Kong Youde's rebellion, everyone escaped a catastrophe, and they all have a sense of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe. In particular, Yu Dacheng, the governor of Shandong, was soon sentenced to exile after being escorted to Beijing. This shock is not small, and everyone does not want to die on the way to exile.

Everyone here is sincerely grateful to Chen Xiedi, his army does not need to go to the household department, and everyone has a share of the money left behind. Although there is a suspicion of cultivating a warlord, who can take care of this now? Warm wife: The president is uneasy and kind!

"The solution, first diversion, this is what the officials are already doing, and they are doing it well. The second step is to provide relief through work, and there is only one way, to build roads. A concrete road connects all the counties in Denglai. The third step is Tuntian. Many of the health centers in various localities have abandoned land, and as long as water conservancy projects are carried out, they can be re-cultivated. However, this matter needs the support of adults. At present, the guards in various places are in ruins, and the soldiers cannot fight, and food and salary are wasted. He thought that if he could get the support of the adults and take the land of the guard, this alone would solve tens of thousands of refugees. ”

Chen Xie said that this stopped, and everyone suddenly fell silent. No one dared to take a stand on this issue, because this was the price offered by Chen Xie. If you want me to deal with the refugees, you'll have to exchange them for a guardhouse.

Sun Yuanhua closed his eyes tightly, turned his back to the sky, and was silent for a long time. Even Zhang Yao looked at Chen Xie with surprised eyes and said, "Sihua, can you tell me your reason?" At this time, only Zhang Yao could speak, and as soon as he spoke, everyone came to the spirit.

Chen Xie smiled bitterly and said: "My lords have misunderstood, there are three people who Chen Xie is plotting for. First, there are many deserters from the land and the military households of the guard, and most of the rest are old and weak, and the military households are just tenants of the governor. There is a shortage of people, no water conservancy, and a large amount of land is wasted, so it is better to take the opportunity of rectifying the health centers and incorporate the wasteland into the tuntian system. Those officials of the guard can still do it with some silver. Second, Dengzhou is close to the sea, so it is possible to organize refugees to go to the sea to fish, and they need boats to go to sea, and the money of the officials of the health center will not be used to buy boats. Even if there were boats, they would not be given to refugees. It's better to hand over the boat and be his landlord with peace of mind. Anyway, when it comes to war, they don't need it, and it's counterproductive. Third, I have an American secret method of drying salt along the beach. ”

Speaking of this, everyone's eyes turned red, and their breathing became heavier. Chen Xie has proven countless times that he has a golden hand. He said that if he can dry salt, it must not be a small business. With the continuous growth of strength, Chen Xie's black hand finally reached into the field of salt. And Chen Xie is still very obvious, and he wants to pull everyone to do it together. Now on the ground of Denglai, there are some craftsmen boiling salt, and the salt produced is very difficult to eat, and everyone here does not eat coarse salt, but uses green salt. Zhang Yao, a local tyrant, even took snow salt directly from Chen Xie's hands, but unfortunately the amount of snow salt is not much, and the lord who can eat snow salt in Dengzhou City must be a civil official with more than seven grades (including seven grades), so he is embarrassed to open this mouth with Chen Xie.

After throwing out the matter of drying salt, Chen Xie's thief ship can be said to be getting bigger and bigger. Of all the people here, one is counted as one, even Zhu Wannian, who is sitting in the corner, will inevitably be pulled onto the thief ship. He can get off the ship, but in the future, there will be no place for him to stand in the officialdom. (To be continued)
