Chapter 1085: Buying and Pulling
Although Feng Fei is a military attaché, his brain is not stupid, and he also realizes that the Haihan people are willing to take the initiative to take the lead in doing this kind of thankless work, and the purpose may not be simple. Judging from what Hao Wanqing just said, Feng Fei believed that the Haihan people were just packing up refugees from Shandong and sending them to the south as cheap labor in the name of disaster relief. If you want to recruit a large number of refugees in an open way, you really have to build a good relationship with the local government.
Of course, this is definitely a good thing for the thousands of coastal households that are currently shouldered by the military and government. If we can really get rid of some of the displaced people in the prefectures and counties, it will be less difficult for the government to organize the resumption of production. The saved relief food and related expenses will naturally not be returned to the imperial court, and several military leaders will divide the accounts, and the oil and water flowing into their pockets are still considerable.
"If you want to help the refugees, the food needed is not a small amount, and when the refugees hear the news, they will flock to the prefectures and counties, if you can't get the food, I am afraid that the scene will get out of control at that time, and there is a plan to deal with it?" After Feng Fei understood the pros and cons, he began to verify the feasibility with Hao Wanqing.
Hao Wanqing also understood Feng Fei's intentions, and immediately responded: "We came to Shandong this time and brought nearly one million catties of grain, and there will be a fleet of ships that will continue to transport grain from the south, which is enough to maintain local operations." After we start accepting refugees, we will also organize them to grow grain on Zhifu Island to solve some of their supply needs. ”
As long as the sea routes are not interrupted, Haihan's fleet can continue to transport the collected refugees to the south, and then bring back grain from the south to recruit more refugees. However, the sea transportation line that Haihan relies on has a long voyage, and the Shandong coast will freeze in winter, and there are many uncontrollable unexpected factors, so it can only be said that this plan is indeed feasible in theory.
Feng Fei was secretly shocked when he heard this, these Haihan people actually transported so much grain from the south at any cost, if the other party was not bragging, then this action power was really terrifying. It can also be seen from this that the other party is bound to win this plan, and whether he agrees with it or not, he will probably do it, otherwise it will not be possible to transport the million catties of grain back to the south in its original form.
Feng Fei asked, "Then when do you plan to start?"
"The sooner the better. Hao Wanqing responded: "If Lord Feng thinks there is no problem, then we will send people to various places as soon as possible to post notices and distribute leaflets, so that the people can know about our arrangements and come to Zhifu Island to receive relief on their own." ”
Feng Fei pondered for a moment before he asked again: "This official wants to see your grain reserves, but I don't know if it's convenient?"
Hao Wanqing saw that the other party had a posture of not seeing a rabbit or an eagle, so he agreed immediately. Haihan has really transported a lot of grain from the north this time, and it is indeed a bit of a boast to say that one million catties, but there must be hundreds of thousands of catties, even if it is counted one by one, it will not be completed in a while, and it will definitely be able to fool Feng Fei over.
At that moment, Hao Wanqing took Feng Fei to see the grain transported by Haihan this time. The goods unloaded ashore in the past two days were mainly building materials and munitions, but more than half of the food was still on board. After leaving the camp and coming to the dock, Hao Wanqing pointed to a neatly parked row of sailboats on the shore and said, "These are all grain ships, Lord Feng can designate one at will, let's get on the boat and have a look." ”
After seeing with his own eyes the cabin full of local rice bags, Feng Fei finally believed Hao Wanqing's statement. The cabins of these big ships each contained tens of thousands of catties of grain, proving that Hao Wanqing was not talking nonsense.
Hao Wanqing was not done yet, and took Feng Fei to see the migrant camp that had been planned, and introduced to him: "We are going to build a temporary residence here that can accommodate 5,000 people, so that the people who will be transported to the south can be turned." In order to facilitate management, it is tentatively planned to be divided into 10 camps, each with 500 people, and the women are in separate camps......"
What is the concept of 5,000 people? There are only more than 1,100 people in the garrison of Qishan Thousand Households, plus the families of the guards and the villages and towns around Qishan City, there may only be about 4,000 people when they are full. In the past, the gentry who came out to help refugees in the Denglai area had never built a refugee camp of this scale, and the reasons were very simple: first, there were not enough manpower to build a camp of this size, and second, if so many refugees were really recruited, no landlord could afford to raise them. It is rumored that the Han people in China are rich enough to rival the country, and Feng Fei has only witnessed how terrifying this kind of wealth is until today.
The large fleet, the strong militia forces, and the ability to carry out large-scale resettlement programs across thousands of miles may not be possible even for the government, but the Haihan people have actually done it. Shicai Natakahashi Minami said that his master was dealing with officials at the level of the chief soldier and the prefect in the south, and it seems that what he said is true. Feng Fei admits that among the wealthy businessmen and gentry he has come into contact with, he has never seen such a powerful financial master, and he is a little glad that he was not reckless on the sandbank just now, God knows what officialdom bigwigs these Haihan people have made friends with in Shandong, if they do it with this southern tyrant, they will have to swallow their teeth if they are knocked out on their side.
Before leaving, Hao Wanqing ordered someone to carry a wooden box out, saying that it was a gift for Feng Fei. Feng Fei was still immersed in the shock of what he saw and heard at this time, but he didn't care too much. Hao Wanqing only sent him to the gate of the camp, and it was still Gao Qiao Nan who accompanied him back to the blockade on the sandbar and sent him out of the area controlled by Haihan.
When Gao Qiao Nan asked Feng Fei's subordinates to hand over the wooden box, Feng Fei remembered that there was such a gift and asked his subordinates to put it away first. Luo Biao came over to inquire about the whereabouts of the missing soldier, but Feng Fei just shook his head and said, "Go back first." ”
Feng Fei didn't hear the slightest news of the missing soldiers here in Hao Wanqing, and there was no way to use force, but judging from the attitude shown by Hao Wanqing, the Haihan people obviously didn't want to tear their faces with the Ming army, and Feng Fei couldn't think of a reason why the Haihan people wanted to attack the Yantai Mountain outpost - such a huge fleet was parked in Zhifu Bay, could it still be invisible for a long time? Even if the Yantai Mountain outpost was destroyed, the Qishan Station would soon discover their traces.
Of course, Feng Fei couldn't imagine that Haihan would take action against Yantai Mountain, and the main purpose was actually just to seize the beachhead during the initial 24-hour security period, set up a perimeter defense line, and ensure that the follow-up materials and personnel could land smoothly, and he had no intention of attacking the city.
