Chapter 488: Spend Less
All of their nearly 700,000 victims were received by Ning'an Mansion.
In addition, the other party also provides food and accommodation, but they need to work in exchange.
If they can settle down, who wants to be a homeless person who wanders around and has no fixed place to live, let them work in exchange for stability, no one will not want to.
But where are so many people going to be settled?
It turned out that there was a good family in Ning'an Mansion, the Xue family, who was willing to spend a lot of money on disaster relief.
These nearly 700,000 people were arranged in Fengqing County, where the Xue family is located, and several surrounding counties.
The Xue family, which has only risen in recent years, is definitely not the richest in the entire Fengqing County, at most it is just a rookie.
But people are from poor families, and it is easier to empathize with the plight of the people at the bottom.
Therefore, after becoming rich, he still does not forget the other poor people, and wants to give back the wealth in his hands to the people and help more people.
For a while, the reputation of the Xue family was greatly improved in the entire Ning'an Mansion, and it was greatly rewarded by the Taishou and the county lord.
Even these two went to their Xue family in person to praise them, such a high honor also made the Tang family and others have a light on their faces, and in the village, the scenery is infinite, and they walk lightly.
Not to mention anything else, the threshold of their family is going to be broken by those who propose marriage and matchmakers, and they are not here to ask for marriage, but to add their own son to their Xue family.
Where can I still worry about finding a satisfactory son-in-law.
It's a pity that now their granddaughters have too high a vision and can't look down on these people at all.
Or maybe I don't have time to go on a blind date with them.
Each of them has a lot of things under them, but they don't have the time to spend time on these people.
For this, Tang and the others didn't say anything, anyway, their two granddaughters who had already recruited were pregnant.
There are successors in the big house and the second room, and their Xue family is rich, and the other granddaughters are not worried about not being able to find a son-in-law in the future, so why are they in a hurry?
Not to mention, everyone in their own hunting team has reached the end of the year, and there are dozens of people who are in their twenties, and there are even many girls who are over twenty-five who are not married.
Their granddaughter really doesn't worry about having no men, and the men chasing after her are all patting the team.
We have to pick well, we have to pick some good guys, who can not only be worthy of their Xue family, but also make their granddaughters like it.
This is called rather than abundant.
Now the eight sisters of the Xue family, as well as Jiang Qianyue and Liu Huining, are all able to go out and take charge of themselves.
And these elders, they also have important tasks to do, and they all manage a lot of people under them, and they are the leaders.
In the eyes of those long-term workers, it was the old lady, the old lady, and the young lady, all adults, and the old man who went crazy and drove himself and others out in the past was already in the sky and on the ground, not in the same grade.
These 'expelleds' are eating and drinking spicy food, and he, the expellator, is eating bran and living on the little daughter-in-law.
This is retribution!
Back to business.
Since the Xue family expressed their willingness to pay for these victims to work and provide them with food and accommodation, Lord Na Taishou waved his hand and directly approved a large area of land for them to build a righteous village for the victims to live in.
To put it bluntly, it is to give them land to build Yizhuang, and they give it desperately, for fear that they will want too little.
And it also provides various conveniences for the Xue family.
For the planning of Yizhuang, it was handed over to Xue Zhujing, who has now learned something, and she personally handled it, and let her master assist her.
It can be used by 700,000 people, so how many houses will have to be built.
And with such a large complex, the building materials required are innumerable.
Again, this is a big problem.
This matter is very important, and Jiang Qianyue did not dare to decide on her own, so she convened the whole family to discuss.
Nowadays, when there is a big matter, she basically involves everyone, so as not to make them think that she has the power alone.
After discussion, everyone decided that they would simply recruit bricklayers to build a brick and tile factory, and then recruit carpenters and other craftsmen to build a furniture workshop.
If you provide such a large amount yourself, you can save a lot of silver.
And these craftsmen are recruited from these homeless people.
Of course, a lot of the coolies needed also came from the displaced people.
As for materials such as wood, they do not buy them directly, but gather the displaced people to cut them directly.
I didn't go to other places to destroy the mountains and forests, so I went to the periphery of the Higashijinno Forest to collect materials.
In ordinary mountains and forests, if you want to cut wood, you can only spend money to buy it.
After all, no matter how much the county order encourages them, it is impossible for them to cut them in vain.
But how many mountains do you have to buy to get so much wood!
Therefore, Jiang Qianyue set her sights on the East Shenye Forest.
For this reason, she didn't know how many times she ran to the county office, and finally got the approval of the county magistrate, and asked them to cut it off on the grounds of doing good deeds.
After such a struggle, the cost of building a house has also been greatly reduced.
Speaking of the Higashijin Wild Forest, we have to mention the homeless people again.
The large number of victims from the north who poured into the south began with tens of millions.
At the beginning of the establishment of Great Chu, the people of Chu were tens of millions of people, but under the development of previous generations of wise emperors, the population of Great Chu reached more than 400 million people when it was the largest, and now there are more than 300 million people.
There is a great drought in the entire north, and you can imagine how many people are affected and how many people are homeless.
With so many displaced people, the pressure on these prefectures and counties in the south is too great for them to bear.
Except for some of the displaced people who were taken in, where did everyone else end up?
It is the periphery of the Higashijinno Forest.
Because, even if they dig grass roots and eat the soil, there are not so many grass roots for them to dig, especially now that it is early spring, and everything has not yet been repeated.
What should I do if I can't dig it, so I can only go to the Higashijin Wild Forest, which makes them awe-inspired, but has a lot of green plants all year round.
The periphery is not enough, and you can gradually go deeper.
Even if there is danger inside, it is better than starving to death outside.
Moreover, there are so many of them, there are many people and great strength, and they are afraid of any danger.
Let's go back to Xue's house.
Except for building a house, everything else is a trivial matter.
Another big thing is that their own sheds and pig farms can also consume a lot of labor.
The Xue family was born in a peasant family, and what they care about most is land, which is the foundation of their livelihood.
Now that they have enough money, they can't wait to buy the land.
The most cost-effective way is to hire people to cultivate.
This can consume a lot of labor, so that they will not eat and drink in vain, and let the silver flow out in vain.
With so many people here, the Xue family can do everything.
Family building is even more popular.
As for the silver.
Xue Langjing sent back so much, and their own sweet potato money for this season has also been fully paid.
Money is far sufficient.
Originally, the biggest problem was food.
As a result, the Zheng family or Zheng Linchu is also capable, she can provide as much food as they need, and it also solves the Xue family's worries.
It also gave them a deep insight into the ability of the Zheng family, a powerful family.
It is said that the price of grain in the north has been stabilized by the Zheng family.
Although it is still very expensive, it is a downward trend.
