There was no need for Gu Yanzhang to speak, Xu Ming, who was standing on the side, had already replied: "Don't worry about manpower, you can take a look at the Di Bao that arrived only two days ago, to the north of Fuzhou, it doesn't rain, the paddy fields are dry, and the rice seedlings are less than thirty percent. ”

"If there is rain next, you can kill locusts, if there is no rain, locusts and drought will be troubled, and more than half of the people in Fuzhou and Jizhou will have to leave their hometowns to beg for food." Xu Ming sighed and said, "Instead of worrying about the lack of manpower to repair the canal, it is better to worry about the lack of archers and patrols in the state." ”

Fuzhou has a population of more than 100,000 people, and there are many people in Jizhou, even if only half of them want to flee, it has reached tens of thousands.

When the displaced people pass by, the state has to ask for disaster relief.

Although Ganzhou is Shangzhou, it is not an important place, except for a Gan orange in the past, there is nothing conspicuous about the rest, just mediocre, and it has never been the destination of the displaced people.

The prosperous places in the south of the Yangtze River, Beijing Daimyo, Xijing Luoyang, and Beijing are the first choice for displaced people to flee.

However, no matter what state or county, you don't want to be homeless.

These people flocked to the disaster, and there were many people with mixed hands, and it was just a matter of production, and it would also make a mess of local law and order, leaving a pile of messes for people to clean up.

"Could it be that the general judgment means that the displaced people are used to build the canal?" Sun Lin said suddenly.

Gu Yanzhang didn't deny it, only bowed his head.

Sun Lin didn't feel anything at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he woke up and this method was really wonderful.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he hurriedly said: "If there are thirty or forty thousand displaced people, at least three or five thousand of them are strong men, right?" With such a group of people, the culvert can be repaired in half a year! If you use the homeless, you don't need to levy labor, you don't need to hire people, you don't even need to save money, you just need to give some grain and rice! ”

Speaking of this, Sun Lin's face froze slightly, raised his head in some surprise, glanced at Gu Yanzhang, and asked: "A few months ago, the general judgment was used to fold Jingzhong, please delay the autumn grain of the middle of the state, didn't you already have such an idea at that time, and prepared to keep the displaced people to build water conservancy and dig ditches?" ”

Sun Lin threw himself on the embankment and ditch, he came to Ganzhou, just for an official body, and he used all his energy to make merits.

Since he entered the government, not only has he not paid much attention to Wang Lu and Xu Ming - after all, the former is dozens of years old, and he has not been able to get a background, but he is just a corrupt Confucian, and it is useless to make friends, and the latter is even more cheap, but he is a subordinate in the shop - it is Gu Yanzhang's general judgment, and he has not had much scruples.

Sun Lin consciously came to Ganzhou, which was condescending.

However, at this moment, he couldn't help but look at Xu Ming.

At the beginning of this year, most of the other party's energy was focused on the outside of the city, first to choose the address, plan the area, and then to prepare materials and build barracks, which was like burning eyebrows.

Sun Lin knew that this was for the homeless, and he used to joke in his heart, but he was just a passerby, and after staying for three days and five days, he was leaving, and this Gu Yanzhang still had to spend so much effort to build a camp, he was simply full of food and had nothing to do.

But now that the piles are all in one place, he suddenly seems to have opened his mind.

Sun Lin looked at Gu Yanzhang and muttered: "The camp set up outside the city, the courage of the Liudu supervisor, the autumn grain that was deferred, and the newly dug well, are all all prepared for the homeless people to arrange for them to work for relief after they arrive?" ”

Gu Yanzhang said lightly: "It's just a rainy day, to resettle tens of thousands of displaced people, there are thousands of things, I don't know how much effort it takes, where can it be done in a few words." ”

After he finished speaking, he turned to Xu Ming and asked, "How is the well outside the city dug?" If the boundaries are drawn according to the original arrangement, how many people can live? ”

Xu Ming hurriedly stepped forward and reported them one by one.

Sun Lin stood aside, listening to Gu Yanzhang ask about the big and small things in the camp, from water sources, diet, to epidemic prevention and disease prevention, from safety, control, to the division of areas, all in detail, almost to the extent of triviality.

In the other party's questioning, only half of Sun Lin had a concept, and the remaining half, he wouldn't even think about it on weekdays.

Xu Ming is much stronger than him, and he can answer seven or eight times out of ten.

He watched a thin layer of sweat oozing from the corner of Xu Ming's forehead little by little, and watched the other party take out a small book from his arms, a pen with a small bamboo tube on his head, and record the points that he didn't do on the notebook.

Sun Lin's heart sank.

He was originally conceited of his own strength and his own background, and this Gu Tong judged that he would have to give a few thin faces no matter what. But when he thought about it seriously, he found that things might not be as simple as that.

What Xu Ming did in the camp was equally brilliant! If you do a good job, you will win the praise and recognition of the people, and it is very easy to gain popularity. And Wang Lu Guozijian was born, although he may not be good at scientific examinations, but he is inexplicably very good at teaching.

But his own assistant is to repair ditches......

The uncertainty of this case is too high, and there is no way to guarantee whether the culvert in Ganzhou can be repaired in the end.

But what Xu Ming and Wang Lu did was definitely meritorious.

Slowly, a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

After getting along for a few months, no matter how much he didn't care, he also touched Gu Yanzhang's temperament a little.

This is a man who likes to do practical things.

If Xu Ming and Wang Lu really got a lot of credit, but they didn't do anything, then in the end, whether the other party would see that he would sell face on his identity, he really couldn't be as sure as before.

Gu Yanzhang didn't take a second look at Sun Lin, he asked Xu Ming about the contents of his stomach, although there was no surprise, he was satisfied enough.

He asked as he counted the time in his mind.

There are still a few months left before the autumn and winter season, and if there are a few heavy rains, the disaster in the area north of Fuzhou should be alleviated a lot, and the number of victims will be reduced by more than half.

At this time, he was really just taking precautions, although he knew that this natural disaster was almost unavoidable, but he still had a little hope in his heart.

Gu Yanzhang has escaped, things are expensive to leave their hometowns, people are cheap to leave their hometowns, if there are really locusts and droughts, how many people will die, how many people will be displaced, and how many peasant families will be ruined.

I only hope that God can have more conscience this time, even if it rains three or two times, and don't let the locusts really drive people to a dead end.
