Chapter 21 Have you ever heard of the power of the people?

Eternal life?

Is it so stylish?

And this is me, an unidentified new county lord, should I hear it?

Fang Yihu glanced at Liu Che suspiciously, not knowing what the meaning of what he was telling him.

"Don't worry, the widow just tells you that there are many benefits to being the lord of the county, prolongs your life, and encourages you to work hard,"

Emperor Wu of Han saw Fang Yi's worries, smiled, and changed the topic, "Tomorrow, the widow will lead the crowd back to the capital of the Han Dynasty." ”

"Tomorrow? So fast? ”

Fang Yi blurted out.

"Yes, tomorrow, this time the royal driver personally attacked Dong Thief, and the recovery of Luoyang has been completed, by you, uh, the aborigines are here, Luoyang will be safe for a while, I hope you have the ability to make Luoyang County glorious again."

"Well, I'll do my best."

Fang Yi responded, such a big burden fell on him, and he didn't know if he could withstand it.

However, Emperor Wu is absolutely right, he is the county guard of Luoyang County, no matter which side wants to attack Luoyang, he must consider whether he wants to be the heart of the aborigines.

Of course, that's only for the big powers...

"Okay, you go back, the widow still needs to send someone to provide Luoyang with some grain and grass from nearby counties to solve the urgent need."

After Fang Yi thanked him, he withdrew from the imperial city alone.

There was already a group of people standing outside, and when they saw the new county lord coming out, they hurriedly beckoned him and carried him into a sedan chair.

"Oh, it's time to feel the corrupt feudal class again."

Fang Yimei was sitting on the sedan chair, thinking about how to run this county town, but the sedan chair suddenly stopped.

An attendant lifted the curtain and told him that he was blocked by a group of refugees.

Fang Yi looked out along the curtain of the car, and sure enough, he saw groups of ragged people surrounding the front.

"What does that mean?"

"Most of them are homeless refugees after Dong Thief ordered the burning of Luoyang, probably because they want to beg the adults to give them a way to live. This kind of thing is very common, and we have notified the city guards to expel them..."

"Eviction? Aren't they the people of Luoyang? ”

"Yes, if the adults are kind-hearted, we can take a detour."

Fang Yi frowned, he had just become the county lord, the news spread so quickly, and he was blocked by the people, and the whole thing seemed to be developing in a bad direction.

Eviction or detour, but they are all evading the problem, and if this matter is to be spread, they will have no reputation, and it will be more difficult to mobilize the people.

He thought for a moment, stepped out of the car, walked towards the refugees, stretched out his hand to help a gray-haired old man, and asked, "Old man, why are you blocking the way?" ”

As soon as the old man looked up, he saw that the new county lord turned out to be a young man, and he was also stunned, and then wept bitterly and said: "My lord, I am the only one left in my family, and the house was also destroyed by the fire, and I have no place to live or food to eat, so I have to beg my lord to find a way to give me a way to live." ”

"Okay, since I'm the county lord, I'll definitely let you live, but you also have to let me go home and make a disaster relief strategy first."

"My lord, you went back today, naturally you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, I don't know how many days will come before you think of us again, but we can't wait, there is no place to live, there is nothing to eat, we, we ......"

Fang Yi also wanted to persuade the refugees to get out of the way first, but the wailing and pain were everywhere again, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

"That's ......"

Fang Yi waved his hand, asked his entourage to gather the refugees surrounding the road, stood in front of them and said, "I must everyone know, I am the new county lord of Luoyang County, I don't care who you get the news from, or who instigates me to block my way, it doesn't matter." But if you want to live, I will give it to you. ”

After a pause, he continued: "It's summer, it's still morning, and there's still some time until evening, so look for the wreckage of your houses, for wood, for haystacks of rags, and for the rudimentary tents and houses in the outer city. One afternoon is completely sufficient, I will send someone to supervise, and for each person who builds one, he will distribute two bowls of rice porridge, and he will get more for more work, so is it okay? ”

After listening quietly, the refugees all stopped talking.

Fang Yi saw that no one moved, and he also understood what these people were thinking in his heart: I am a refugee, and you still ask me to work? Isn't this pure exploitation?

He sighed and continued: "Now those who want to participate in the reconstruction can go back to the mansion with me to register, and after registration, they can receive a bowl of rice porridge, but those who do not participate in the reconstruction after registration will be punished with twenty canes." ”

As soon as everyone heard that they could receive rice porridge when they registered, they immediately got out of the way and prepared to follow behind Fang Yi.

Fang Yi shook his head, he knew that as soon as he said this, there would definitely be people who cheated and cheated and took chances, only receiving rice porridge and not working.

"Then punish some, the huge Luoyang City, you can't do it without the law."

......

After returning to the mansion, Fang Yi immediately began to arrange for the registration of rice porridge.

The whole mansion began to be busy at once, after all, there were several long queues of refugees outside the door.

Maintain order, register names, check and check, boil porridge and release grain......

Fortunately, there are enough people in the mansion, and they can be considered busy.

Qin Liangyu angrily found Fang Yi who was sitting in the middle hall and was bowing his head in contemplation at this time.

"No, what do you think? Although we did collect a lot of food from the profiteers a few days ago, the food added up was not enough for these refugees to eat for three days. ”

Fang Yi looked up at Qin Liangyu, who was quite resentful, knowing that she was also out of impatience, he smiled and responded, "Then what should I do?" Isn't it possible to watch them starve to death and freeze to death? ”

One sentence made Qin Liangyu speechless for a while.

Fang Yi continued to explain his thoughts, and then said: "Emperor Wu will also transfer some grain from the neighboring counties for us in a few days, and it will be harvested immediately, the matter of grain is actually not a big deal. ”

"Summer Harvest?"

Qin Liangyu blinked and said suspiciously, "Now most of the land belongs to those landlords, do you want to snatch grain from them?" ”

"It's not me who robbed it,"

Fang Yi thought for a while and corrected, "It's not a robbery, these lands should belong to the people, I just let them get back what belongs to them." ”

Qin Liangyu's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "Are you crazy? Do you want to move the interests of those landlords? Without their help, you, the county lord, will be unable to move anywhere in the future. The last time we collected food, we offended them, and this time the refugees blocked your road is probably their idea, if you still ......"

Fang Yi reached out and lightly tapped his fingers on her lips, interrupting her to continue talking.

"It's smaller again, sister."

"Have you ever heard of the power of the masses?"
