Chapter 199: Recruiting Displaced People

Without Li Baiqing's nail, Changning County has truly become Fang Hong's world. At www.biquge.info this point, he can refine the Luotang River with peace of mind.

However, if you want to truly refine the Luotang River, it is not so easy. Although he has stepped up his efforts to urge the river workers to build the barrage, the population base is here, and even if he wants to speed up the progress, he is unable to do so.

Later, Xu Jiang gave him an idea, that is, to absorb the homeless. Now Liu Liu and Liu Qi are rebelling, fighting in the north and south, Zhili, Shandong, Henan, Huguang and other places, the people everywhere, in addition to relying on the forces of these two people, the rest have all left their hometowns and fled to places where there is no war.

Although this land of Jiangxi is not very clear, at least there is no war, and many displaced people come to Jiangxi. It's just that the number of displaced people is too large for the cities everywhere to accept it, and many people are stopped from the city gates. This is also for the sake of safety, who knows if there is a rebel army in this gang, and if they rush into the city to cause chaos, who can stop them?

Now, Changning County is doing the opposite, wantonly recruiting displaced people to come over. As soon as this news came out, those homeless people flocked to it.

Nowadays, it is difficult for these homeless people to even fill their stomachs, and the requirements are extremely low, as long as a big steamed bun, they can make a young man sell you for a day. However, with so many people crowding in, management becomes a big problem, and one carelessness can lead to riots.

As a result, Xu Jiang broke up those who came from the same place and divided them into five branches, each of which was based on the family unit. In other words, within each branch, you basically only know your own family. In this way, everyone is isolated, they are not tightly huddled, and there is much less chance of a riot.

After dividing the five branches, Xu Jiang asked Zhao Cheng to send people from the inspection department to lead these people to build accommodations. Fortunately, it's summer, and even if the house is not built, there is no need to worry about someone freezing to death.

Although Changning County is not very large, there is a lot of vacant land and wasteland within its jurisdiction, and it is completely possible to establish a few more villages and open up some fields.

Finally, these victims have settled down, but with so many mouths and no food source, they can't just rely on the help of the county government. Although Xu Jiang is very rich in their hands, they can't spend money like this.

So, the meat show came.

Xu Jiang sent officials and began to recruit river workers. Do a day's work, give 20 yuan and add three big steamed buns. Is this price high? Really not high, and it's pitiful. However, for these victims, having food, drink, and wages is already a good treatment.

But there is another new problem in front of us, those original river workers, but three taels of silver a month, the salary is several times that of these people, if it is known, then there is no rebellion. In this world, there is no shortage but inequality, and everyone is a human being, so why should my salary be low? If it arouses the common hatred and hatred of those outsiders, chaos will arise.

Xu Jiang pondered for a long time, and finally came up with an idea, that is, to divide the ranks. He called the original river workers the chief workers, and the new ones were called small workers. The price of the chief worker is three taels of silver per month, and the price of the small worker is six hundred wen per month, plus three meals a day.

Only those with excellent performance can be promoted to chief engineer. And if the chief worker is passive and lazy, he will also be demoted to a small worker. He skillfully resolved the contradiction between the local and the out-of-tanther, and transformed it into the contradiction between the superior and the subordinate.

When the time comes, he will erect a few more models and promote some foreign river workers to chief engineers, so that the morale of everyone will be aroused, and one by one they will definitely work hard.

This is also an alternative way to control people, sometimes, it is not a blind high salary to make people work for you, but to divide the upper and lower, so that the people above can enjoy the sense of superiority, so that the people below know the direction of efforts.

As a result, the construction of the embankment was much faster. Originally, more than 500 people were working on the construction, but now it has directly increased to 2,000 people, and everyone's morale is high, and the efficiency has also improved a lot.

......

The time has entered July, although it has entered autumn, but the sun is still hot, and the burning people are hot, and there is nowhere to hide. But this Changning County is also weird, every three or five is a cloudy rainy day, and the temperature outside does not affect here at all.

In the small courtyard in the east of the city, Fang Hong stood under the eaves and watched the rain and mist flying down in the sky. From his body, there was a trace of light and empty aura.

If someone looked at him at this time, they would find that when the rain and mist were close to his body, they would instantly retract and turn into droplets, and then roll down his hair and clothes, and his body was not stained with the slightest wetness.

"Boom. In Fang Hong's body, there was a faint roaring sound, as if the tide was crashing against the stones on the shore, which was the sound of the blood in his body hitting his body.

And above his skin, it became more and more red, as if blood seemed to be able to break through the skin at any moment. "Hmph......" After a long time, Fang Hong's brain suddenly dizzy, and all the red on his body dissipated, revealing a trace of paleness.

He can control the flow of water, of course, he can control the blood, and when he is in good spirits, he finds that his blood is full of impurities. Of course, he wanted to get rid of the impurities, but it was clear that his plan had failed.

The structure of the human body is the most complex, and these impurities that will have an impact on people's health are actually entangled with blood, and they are not something that he can get rid of if he wants to.

"Young master, why are you standing here, careful of the rain. Ah Gui walked in from outside, and when he saw Fang Hong standing outside, he admonished.

"Come on, is there still no news from my father?" Fang Hong waved his hand, it's been more than half a year, and my father hasn't come back yet, which makes Fang Hong a little worried.

"The master is now in Nanzhili, it should be fine, the young master doesn't have to worry, I'm afraid that there are too many bandits now, blocking the trip. Ah Gui said comfortingly, and in fact, he hadn't received a letter from Fang Dayuan for several months.

"It's better to be like that. Fang Hong looked Ah Gui up and down, as stated in the "Book of Living", Fang Dayuan died with Ah Cai and Ah Gui, if it was really dangerous, at least wait until Ah Gui and Fang Dayuan met.

Ah Gui was a little hairy by Fang Hong's strange eyes, originally, according to his heart, he would not be so easily shaken, mainly because his young master's eyes were too sharp and bright, as if he could perceive people's hearts.
