The dredging of the river is a relatively large project, but if the dredging work is done well, not only can the embankment be prevented from being washed away by floods in the next year, but also the dug up silt can also cover the fields and fertilize the fields, which is very fertile.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were relevant records, using the silt dug up in the river to fertilize the field, and then irrigating it with river water, the yield of corn per mu can reach ten stones, which is already a very high yield, and later generations may not be able to achieve this yield under the use of a large number of pesticides and fertilizers.

The cold wind on the embankment was bitterly cold, and a grass shed was built next to it to rest and shelter the officials who came to inspect, but Qin Feng did not hide in the shack, he came to inspect the progress of the river dredging project, how could he hide in the shack to avoid the wind?

He stood on the embankment wrapped in a cloak and watched hundreds of people working on the riverbed, one by one, and now each family was allocated a hundred acres of land, and the people thanked Qin Feng for giving them the land, so that they could cultivate and feed themselves and their families.

The people who have hope are full of energy when they serve the conscription, and although they need to bring their own food while they work, they are also willing, and after the river is dredged, it will not be easy to break the embankment next summer.

"This progress is not bad, but it can't be stopped in middle age, and it must be completed before the end of the year!" Qin Feng instructed the official in charge of cleaning up the river.

The official promised: "No! ”

At this moment, a fast horse galloped over the embankment in the distance, "Ritsu-"

It was a messenger who came, and the messenger jumped off his horse and came to Qin Feng's side to bow down, and presented a letter: "Qi Yu Taishou, Yang Changshi has a letter to Taishou!" ”

Qin Feng took the letter and opened it, and frowned after reading it.

Yan Xiang, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but ask, "Lord, what happened?" ”

"A large number of displaced people have entered my Nanyang territory from Runan, Yingchuan, Jingzhou and Sili areas!" After Qin Feng finished speaking, he handed the letter to Yan Xiang.

Yan Xiang was stunned for a moment, "How can so many homeless people enter my Nanyang, adding up to more than 200,000!" Could it be that the news of the lord's order to divide the fields among the homeless and the common people spread out, so the landless people in these places rushed over when they heard the news? ”

Qin Feng said: "Mr. Yang thinks so too, but this matter has to be asked by the homeless people to confirm!" ”

More than 200,000 displaced people, this is not a small number, if you leave these displaced people alone, his reputation will only be damaged, but to accept these displaced people, you have to prepare food rations and seeds for them for half a year.

Moreover, to settle these displaced people, the human, material and financial resources that need to be used are not a small amount, and I am afraid that the entire Nanyang will be dragged down.

Yan Xiang, who was looking at the letter, asked, "What does the lord plan to do with these displaced people?" ”

Qin Feng thought for a while and said, "We have to go and see the actual situation in this matter, and then convene all the gentlemen to discuss!" ”

Qin Feng, who hurried back to Wancheng, didn't have time to rest, so he immediately ordered someone to find Juniper.

"Subordinates, see the lord!"

Qin Feng got up from his seat, raised his hand and said, "Excuse me!" Juniper, I called you here this time because there was a large influx of displaced people in my Nanyang territory, and your Internal Affairs Department immediately sent people to mix in to conduct a detailed investigation to see if these displaced people were instigated, or if they just heard the news that Nanyang had distributed land to the people and rushed over! ”

Juniper immediately agreed: "The subordinates understand, so they will send people to infiltrate the homeless people to investigate!" ”

Then, Qin Feng sent people to gather the strategists to discuss how to deal with these displaced people.

In the lobby of the Taishou Mansion, at Qin Feng's signal, Yang Hongzhong announced the matter.

"At present, outside Wuguan, in the direction of Sili, at the junction of Yecheng and Wuyin, at the border of Runan, and in the direction of Jingzhou, there are a large number of displaced people coming here, according to the rough estimate of the local government, the number of displaced people in these directions adds up to more than 200,000 people, and most of them have entered the boundary of my Nanyang!"

In addition to the Wuguan and Sili directions, the displaced people in these two directions were temporarily blocked outside the pass, and the displaced people in other directions were not blocked by the Xiongguan dangerous obstacles, and the displaced people have poured into Nanyang one after another, and such a huge number of displaced people, the local government could not stop them at all!

Xu Shu frowned and said: "The number is too large, I am worried that so many homeless people will make trouble when they get together, once someone instigates it, it will be a disaster, I am afraid that there will be no grass everywhere I pass!" ”

Yan Xiang said: "The question now is how to deal with these displaced people, whether to accept them, or to gather forces to drive them back? ”

Qin Feng looked at the strategists present, and today he specially brought Chen Qun and Zhao Yan, who were teaching in Funiu Academy, over and asked them to listen.

He stopped his gaze on Jia Xu and asked, "Mr. Wenhe, what do you think?" ”

There has always been no good way to deal with the problem of displaced people, even when the world is unified, even when Ming Jun is alive, it may not be able to deal with the problem of a huge number of displaced people.

Because to deal with the problem of displaced people, it is only the magistrate who is responsible for the implementation, and if you want to provide relief to the victims, you must have food and relief materials, and if these food and materials are transported in time, it is fine, and some of them can be used on the displaced people; If food and relief materials cannot be brought in in time, more and more people will be displaced, and if there is an agitation to make trouble, it may cause even greater disasters.

If they are not rescued in time, once these displaced people have nothing to eat, they can do anything to survive.

Let's talk about the issue of relief, the work in charge of relief may be poor for some officials, but for honest officials, I am afraid that it will be a disaster, you are not greedy, but others should be greedy, what is the consequence of not being social? It is likely to be excluded or even framed; And if you are greedy and someone denounces you afterwards, once you find out, the results speak for themselves.

Let's talk about a very real problem at present, Nanyang does not have much food reserves, and the Taishou Mansion has already tightened its belt to feed 30,000 soldiers and horses, and then it has to feed 200,000 homeless people who have no income for half a year, is this possible? If these 200,000 displaced people are put in, where will the food come from, and how to deal with the accommodation of these 200,000 displaced people in this big winter?

Therefore, Jia Xu didn't know how to answer Qin Feng's question.

He thought for a while and said: "I think that we should immediately gather troops and horses to drive out all these displaced people, otherwise there will be a catastrophe in Nanyang next!" ”

After saying this, Qin Feng didn't feel strange, Jia Xu deserved the title of poisoner, and the lives of 200,000 homeless people were like mustard in his eyes!

But the other people's senses were very bad after hearing this, Yang Hong frowned and said: "Mr. Wenhe's suggestion is too cold, after all, it is 200,000 people, this cold winter and the moon, the weather is cold, drive them out, how many of these people can live until the beginning of spring next year?" Could it be that these 200,000 lives are so worthless in the eyes of Mr. Wenhe? ”

Jia Xu asked rhetorically: "What Mr. Yang means is to let them enter my Nanyang realm completely without any obstruction?" ”

"Most of them have already entered the Nanyang realm, and they are afraid that it will be too late to drive them out at this time!" Yang Hong said angrily, and then said to Qin Feng: "Lord, I think that now I can only negotiate a feasible way to properly settle these homeless people!" ”
