Sitting in the carriage, he went all the way to Jiuquan Town.

At first, because of the remote location of Sanjian Creek, I couldn't see anything.

Close to the nearby village, changes began to appear.

Many people in ragged clothes walked on the road in groups, most of them were young and middle-aged people who had a lot of food, mixed with a few old and young women and children.

"Master, give me something to eat, I haven't eaten in a few days!"

"My lord, you are doing well, my child is sick, can you lend me dozens of yuan, dozens of yuan is enough, and I will repay you by being a cow and a horse in the next life."

"Master, I am strong and can do any work, you are short of people, I will work for you, just take care of the food, I don't need money, I really don't need money."

Seeing a convoy coming, the crowd swarmed up.

Wang Xu lifted the curtain and saw that most of these people had yellow and thin faces, and their faces were dusty, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were called Huazi.

"See what?"

Xue Mushan sat in the carriage, guarding the stove, and asked without opening his eyes.

Wang Xu turned his head slightly and replied: "These victims should have come from Tongshan County, Tongshan County is at the junction of Jiaozhou and Yangzhou, only people who came from there can come over so quickly, and the large army of disaster victims is still behind." ”

"What else?" Xue Mushan asked again.

"And?"

Wang Xu looked at the crowd again, and found that between seven or eight young people, there were only two or three women and children mixed in, and thought: "The disaster situation in Tongshan County should not be serious, and most of the people still have some surplus food at home, so most of the people who fled the famine are young and strong."

The young and strong eat a lot, and the family can't afford to support them, so they can only flee out, and the old and young women and children eat less, and they can't run, and they have surplus food to support their lives. It's good that these people have the help of the imperial court, but if they don't, most of the ten people are young and strong, and eighty percent of them will be in turmoil. ”

Xue Mushan nodded lightly and said softly, "Go on..."

Wang Xu was speechless for a while, these are all he has on the surface, there is nothing to say.

But looking at Xue Mushan's appearance, he was obviously not satisfied, obviously he didn't get to the point.

What is very important and ignored by himself, Wang Xu can't think of it, so he can only ask: "Please also ask Mr. to solve your doubts." ”

"When looking at problems, we should not only look at the surface, but also look deeper inside. Disaster relief is a sentence, how to help, how to operate, where to start, that is learning. From the perspective of the people, you are right, but from the perspective of disaster relief, it is far from enough.

Since this group of people came from Tongshan County, more than 100 people gathered together and surrounded the old, young, women and children in the middle, indicating that they knew each other, even if they didn't know each other before, they also met on the road.

The snake can't be headless, and in the run-in of the escape road, it must have its own leader, or someone with enough prestige to deter others.

The word disaster relief is simple, but it is not good, disaster relief can also evolve into robbery, since ancient times, there are not a few people who are kind enough to give porridge but end up with a broken family, you may not have heard of it, it is because of this kind of thing, and the above has been pressed down.

However, if you want to organize disaster relief, you have to check the rules and regulations in it, otherwise good things can be done bad. ”

Xue Mushan slowly opened his eyes, looked at Wang Xu who was standing by the car window, and said with a smile: "You come to tell me, how to help these people?" ”

Wang Xu laughed when he heard it, what should I do, Xue Mushan pointed it out, how could he not answer: "Find their snake heads, there are snake heads to appease, this group of people will naturally not be chaotic." ”

"What if the ranks of the victims were increased by a hundredfold?" Xue Mushan continued to ask.

Wang Xu pondered for a moment and replied: "There are more than 100 people in this group of victims, a hundred times is 10,000 people, and the team of 10,000 victims is difficult for anyone to suppress, and most of them are cobbled together by countless small groups. In that case, they should be allowed to elect representatives, help with disaster relief, and send hundreds of people to maintain order, so that there should be no chaos. ”

Xue Mushan smiled and said, "Add ten times more..."

10,000 and 10,000 times more, that's 100,000.

100,000 people is not a small number, and Jiuquan Town is only 100,000 people, if the 100,000 victims are not handled properly, Jiuquan Town will be turned into ashes in an instant.

Wang Xu secretly estimated that the 100,000 victims of the disaster were not only disaster relief in Jiuquan Town, but also had to guard against the chaos of the heart.

After all, the strength of the two sides is almost the same, and even Jiuquan Town is weaker, so there is no guarantee that someone will have troublesome intentions.

Wang Xu thought for a while and thought of a variety of possibilities, and then said: "100,000 disaster victims, the power of Jiuquan Town alone cannot be suppressed, in order to avoid chaos, we have to send people to the county seat to invite the official mansion to wear a tiger skin."

At present, at the beginning of the disaster, the people are uneasy, and there is the righteousness of the government, and then select young and strong people from the town to form a thousand-person township protection group, so that they can be sure to survive the disaster..."

It was only a month or two before the autumn harvest to urge grain, the price of grain was too high, and the people were displaced.

In such a short period of time, the credibility of the government has not been questioned, even if there are people who are bewitched, they are not able to defeat the people's hearts like iron, and the official law is like a furnace, your second uncle is still your second uncle.

Xue Mushan nodded with satisfaction at first, and then raised a finger: "Add ten times more!" ”

"Plus?"

Wang Xu's brows tightened, and the entire Liyang County has a population of only eight million.

Jiuquan Town, just one of the dozens of town-level units under Liyang County, can still maneuver around the influx of 100,000 victims, if there is an influx of millions of victims...

Wang Xu didn't dare to think that if there were so many victims, one person would be able to eat up Jiuquan Town, and the old locust trees at the entrance of the ancestral shrine would have to be gnawed off.

At this time, it is not Jiuquan Town that will relieve the victims, but it is necessary to worry that the victims will not swallow Jiuquan Town.

As the saying goes, bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates.

The comb is used to comb hair, and the grate is also a type of comb, but it is denser than the comb, and the ancients used to scrape dandruff and lice.

The rebels and the rebels have a fight, and the bandits are coming, just like the comb, there is still something left between the teeth of the comb.

Rebels, rebels, that's the grate, don't think about anything left, you have to comb a few hairs away.

"Disaster relief is not a number of heads, let alone a family, why in the face of disasters, many families would rather sit on the sidelines than end up earning a good name?

Are they stingy with food, afraid of being eaten and drunk by the victims?

No, what they are afraid of is a bad one, the mutton was not eaten, but it caused a fishy body, chaotic people, bandits, chaotic army, you think about it carefully, stained with this messy word, they really have a difference?

Disaster relief is a good thing, it can make a name for itself, it can make a profit, why does disaster relief always be called a chore, even the disaster relief envoys sent by the imperial court have black faces?

People, you can't just look at the surface, when you see a wolf eating meat, you have to think of the wolf being beaten, and if you can't think of it, it's easy to fold inside. ”

Xue Mushan spoke earnestly, and looked at Wang Xu with encouragement: "People's hearts are sinister, and even more so in the court, this time you let it go, and the teacher will help you to do it." With this experience, next time, you will be able to live with good. ”

Wang Xu closed his eyes and thought about the picture of millions of victims pouring into Jiuquan Town.

After a long while, he exhaled and replied solemnly: "There are millions of victims, and the Lord is in one word." On the first day, it is necessary to select the thorns among them, kill the chickens and monkeys, and deter the victims.

Once the victims are deterred, the 100,000 residents of Jiuquan Town will be able to manage one million victims.

However, this step must be taken skillfully, and it is easy to provoke civil unrest if it is not coincidental, and the heat is very important.

The first step is successful, and the next step is triage.

The victims can't do nothing, and if there is nothing to do, so many people will gather together, and if there is no chaos, there will be chaos.

There was really nothing to do, so let them go and cut down trees and choose an open place to build a house.

It's winter now, even if it's warm in the south, and these people can't survive without a house. While we were giving porridge, we were driving the victims to work and not letting them be idle.

Survive until next spring, everything will recover, and eighty percent of the victims who have come out for half a year will go home.

At that point, the crisis will be resolved, and the reluctant or homeless people can be selected to integrate into the villages and towns. Whether they stay to work or work as tenant farmers, they are all qualified laborers who will be assimilated over time. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xu looked at Xue Mushan and asked, "Sir, is this method feasible?" ”

"Don't ask me, ask the time, people are not sages, who can do everything?"

Xue Mushan didn't give an affirmative answer, maybe he had the answer, but he didn't want to say it, he wanted Wang Xu to find it himself.

With the contemporary Confucianism in charge, even if there are millions of victims, it will not evolve to the point where it is out of control, and it can advance and retreat, and there is no worries.

Wang Xu learned about Xue Mushan's good intentions, and while he was happy to worship his good teacher, he couldn't help but have a question.

Xue Mushan is so powerful, above the court, he was defeated and defeated, and how powerful should the person who had to resign and live in seclusion be.

Compared with these old foxes, in addition to the works of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing, and five generations of sages, I am afraid that I am not enough to read in wisdom.

Fortunately, he didn't have the idea of becoming an official, otherwise he would have entered the court, and the martial arts would have been changed to a civil fight, and he would not have been played to death.
