Lin Ruan stood on the city tower, looked at the situation below, and smiled with satisfaction.

This method was learned in the base in her previous life.

The base does not support idlers, if you want to eat, you have to work, and no one should support you unconditionally. After a long time, these people will be raised with a natural idea.

And letting them exchange their labor for food, not only the previous benefits, but also another advantage is that after the problem of floods and plagues is solved, these people will also be willing to actively return to their hometowns.

After all, if you work for others, you can only have enough food and clothing. If you work for yourself, you will be able to make a surplus. And staying in a foreign land, there is not even a place to stay, how can it be comfortable to return to the hometown.

But if they give free porridge for a long time, these people may not be willing to travel back to their hometowns.

People are degenerate, they can open their mouths with food, so why do they need to go back to their hometowns and farm again. Even if this meal can't fill your stomach, you can't starve to death, right?

In the afternoon, the work for food went more smoothly, and some people who wanted to change places were willing to stay.

Qin Xian Ling looked at the refugees who had anger on their faces, and was so happy that he was so happy that if this matter was done, he would be able to be promoted to a higher level if he didn't get his official position.

And for Lin Ruan, who came up with this method, he was even more polite, no, he asked with a shy face: "Xiangjun, what do you think we should do next?" ”

Lin Ruan knew that this pustule was trying to make merit through her, but she didn't care about this, so she said, "Where do the refugees live now?" ”

Qin County Ling pointed casually: "It's under the root of this city wall, or in the nearby woods." ”

Lin Ruan thought for a while and said, "Then move out some of the refugees and build houses, build resettlement houses, use the cut straw as the roof, use mud as the wall, find a vacant land, and build some simple resettlement houses, so that these refugees have a place to live." It's almost September, and the nights are cold, and it's easy to get sick from freezing. The flood plague doesn't know when it will be resolved, let them have a place to hide first, and they can also be more grateful to Lord Qin. ”

As soon as Qin Xian Ling heard this method, he immediately made a decision and immediately asked people to arrange it.

As soon as those old and weak women and children heard that the county order and the township monarch were going to arrange people to help them build houses, they were so excited that they called the county commander and the township monarch living bodhisattvas.

Qin County Ling has been an official for so many years, and it is the first time he has been praised like this, and he is so proud that he can't bear to look at it directly, and the whole person is like being beaten with chicken blood, and his work efficiency is unprecedentedly high.

Lin Ruan didn't bother to pay attention to this unreliable county order, returned to Linjia Village, wrote a letter to Chen Zhizhou, and carefully wrote down all the measures here.

As for whether Chen Zhizhou will follow suit, it depends on Chen Zhizhou's own meaning.

Luohua was responsible for delivering the letter, and it only took half a day to go back and forth, and when he came back, he brought Chen Zhizhou's reply.

Chen Zhizhou said in the letter that this method of exchanging work for food is very bold, but it is very feasible, and he will also unite the officials and wealthy families in Qingzhou City to implement this method.

After all, there are more refugees in Qingzhou City, and the pressure is even greater, and Chen Zhizhou is also worried about this matter these days.

In this way, Qingzhou City also began to exchange work for food, and the original headache of the refugee problem was quickly solved, the refugees no longer have to worry about food and shelter, and ordinary people no longer have to be afraid.

Life in the city has quickly returned to normal, shops and restaurants have begun to operate normally, and all the order of life has returned to the original track, except for the ragged refugees everywhere, nothing else is the same as before.

Such a fast speed amazes the old people who have had this experience.

You must know that in the past, when this kind of thing happened, it took as little as two or three months, or as much as half a year or even longer, and the lives of ordinary people did not want to recover, and the losses of those shops and restaurants were even greater.

When the people knew that Lin Ruan came up with this method, they couldn't wait to praise Lin Ruan to the sky.

The resettlement measures for refugees in Yulin County and Qingzhou City were soon heard.

After the emperor saw the fold handed over by the prefect of Huaiyang, he couldn't help but say in a loud voice: "This Lin Ruan is really a little bold, he actually came up with such a method and successfully implemented it, which really solved my urgent need." ”

The next morning, the emperor announced this in the court, and planned to promote this method throughout the country, so that the pressure on the court to settle refugees could be drastically reduced.

However, many courtiers also raised objections, believing that in this way, some refugees would be resentful, believing that the court was taking the opportunity to exploit them.

The crown prince stood up and said: "Father, there is a way to do both things here, if the adults are worried about the grievances of the refugees, they can set up a porridge shed in the imperial court, and distribute a porridge soup every day, and those who are willing to work in exchange for food can exchange labor for better food." Those who don't want to receive basic food, so that the refugees have nothing to say. ”

No one objected to this method anymore.

As a result, the decree of exchanging work for food was soon promulgated in various places, and those county governments that received refugees began to implement the exchange of work for food, and of course, they would also prepare porridge sheds for the imperial court. When the food on both sides is put together, it is a world of difference.

With good things, who would want to eat bad.

In this way, except for some people who are really too lazy to move, and some old and weak women and children who are really unable to move, who are willing to choose the porridge and water of the imperial court once a day, everyone else is willing to work for food.

And with the support of the porridge shed of the imperial court, some people who could not exchange work for food, and could only wait for the strong laborers at home to earn food and come back to share, also had an extra ration. Although the ration was not enough to cover anything, it was better than nothing.

Daxiangguoji Temple.

After the Queen Mother finished the day's worship of the Buddha and chanted the scriptures, she returned to the courtyard where she lived.

After Mama Hong waited for the Queen Mother to clean her hands, she said: "Queen Mother, the person who investigated Lin Xiangjun's life history has returned, and the emperor also sent someone to send a letter over." ”

As he spoke, a palace maid brought the letter.

The Queen Mother first picked up the letter sent by the emperor, opened it and read it, and the more she read it, the more obvious the joy on her face became.

Seeing this, Mama Hong asked, "Queen Mother, what good news did the emperor write in the letter that made you so happy?" ”

The Queen Mother opened the letter and put it back in the envelope: "The emperor said that there is a proper solution to the refugee matter, and this method was still thought up by Lin Ruan's girl." ”

As he spoke, he told him about the method of exchanging work for food, and said, "This girl's brain is really good, and she is bold. There must have been some people in the court who thought about this method, but they had a lot of concerns, so they couldn't implement it. On the contrary, it was Lin Ruan, a girl who had no desires and no desires, and actually did this thing and solved a major problem in the imperial court, which is really courageous. ”

Mama Hong boasted: "Lin Xiangjun is a person who has ideas and dares to do things, and this is really a great achievement." ”
