Chapter 147: The Struggle Between Local and Foreign Forces
"Master, how is this child placed?"
Zhou Shi brought the child in the refugee area.
"What's your name?"
Fang Yuan looked at him and suddenly wanted to laugh.
Seven or eight-year-old body, dressed in adult clothes.
Even the shoes are worn by adults, and a large part of them are free.
It's no wonder that there are no children in the Fang Mansion, and the clothes are naturally adults.
"I don't have a name."
"Can you get one for me?"
The child tilted his head and said crisply.
Fang Yuan only saw clearly at this time that there were quite a few scars on his face.
Some are new, some are old, and the interlacing looks a little hideous.
There was also an old wound on his neck the size of a bowl, which seemed to have been fatal.
"Are you a man or a woman?"
Fang Yuan asked after a moment of silence.
"Female, female."
The child becomes more nervous.
It seems that he was abandoned by Fang Yuan because he was worried about gender.
Although the Tang Dynasty was relatively open, the folk patriarchal ideology was still relatively heavy.
"Then let's call it Kyokyu."
Fang Yuan looked at her a few times, thought about it and said.
If she didn't say it, Fang Yuan might not be able to tell that he was a female baby.
Zhou Shi on the side was the same, he looked at her in surprise, feeling that he was out of sight.
"Is the surname Fang?"
The child asked.
Fang Yuan and Zhou Shi were both stunned.
This kid doesn't seem to be simple.
"Nonsense, it's good to have a name."
Zhou Shi glared at him and wanted to send him away.
But the child looked at Fang Yuan fixedly, nervous with a strong expectation.
"Whatever you want."
Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.
"Then I will be called Fang Jingyu in the future."
The child said excitedly.
Her eyes moistened instantly, and tears fell.
"Zhou Shi, take her to find Hongxu and arrange a room."
Fang Yuan patted his brain and said.
"I, sir, I want to meet the master."
Zhou Shi sneered.
He brought people over, mainly to meet the giant.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so anxious to bring people to Fang Yuan.
"Then I'll take it."
Fang Yuan nodded and left with Fang Jingyu.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it seems that it does not feel like it has stopped.
From early morning to noon, there was a few centimeters of water on the ground of Fangfu.
Fang Yuan didn't go to work because of this, he was warming up and drinking tea in the living room, watching the rain on the patio fall into deep thought.
Fang Jingyu squatted beside Fang Yuan's thighs and obediently helped Fang Yuan beat his legs, but his strength was a little small.
Fang Yuan told her not to, but she insisted on giving Fang Yuan a kick, and in the end, Fang Yuan followed her.
Vaguely, Fang Yuan saw Zheng Jiu walking in in the rain, already soaking wet.
"What do you have to brave the rain to report?"
Fang Yuan said in surprise.
And poured him a cup of hot tea.
"Governor, the people in the refugee area have been counted."
Zheng Jiu shivered from the cold, took the hot tea and drank it.
As he spoke, he took out a booklet wrapped in oiled paper from his bosom.
Fortunately, he strongly demanded that the inventory be counted in the rain, otherwise a few people would have died in the refugee area today.
"It's hard work, you go back and let the brothers on duty with you take half a day off, invite them to a big meal, and go back to the official for reimbursement."
Fang Yuan took it and said in a deep voice.
If Zheng Jiu didn't come, he forgot about the refugee area.
It rained so heavily and went to the statistics of the people's information, and it was hard for them.
"Xie Zhouzun!"
Zheng Jiu's heart suddenly warmed, and he said respectfully.
"Hongxu, take Zheng Jiu down to change clothes."
Fang Yuan waved his hand.
As he spoke, he began to look at the statistical table brought by Zheng Jiu.
"Let's go."
Hongxu beckoned to Zheng Jiu.
"Thank you, Miss Red."
Zheng Jiu wanted to refuse, because he felt embarrassed.
But when he saw Fang Yuan looking at the statistical list, he thought that there should be something to arrange for him, so he stayed.
Hongxu left with Zheng Jiu, Fang Jingyu continued to beat her legs, Qingyu made tea, and Fang Yuan looked at the statistical table.
A total of 5,133 people were listed, 17 were literate, 3 were able to settle accounts, 4,978 were mobility-capable, and 435 were disabled.
"Young lady, arrange these people according to what I said last night."
"Among them, those who are literate and can settle accounts, you see if they can use it, and if they can be used, they will temporarily arrange to work in the money bank."
Fang Yuan handed the list to Qing Yuan.
There are more than 5,000 people, and only 17 people are literate, which is really a few.
But it's all refugees, and there are 17 people who can read, which is also very good.
Overall, the burden on this group of refugees is quite heavy, with hundreds of people barely able to move.
"Yes, sir."
Qing Yu took the list and looked at the sky outside.
The rain was a lot lighter, but it hadn't stopped, and she didn't go to work immediately.
At this time, Zheng Jiu and Hongxu came back.
"When the rain clears, the official will let Qing Yuan go with you, and you can just listen to her."
Fang Yuan said indifferently.
"Okay!"
Zheng Jiu said yes.
At this time, the rain was much lighter.
The sun slowly appeared on the horizon.
Gradually, the rain became lighter and lighter, and finally stopped.
"Miss Qing, shall we go?"
Zheng Jiu looked at Qing Yuan and asked.
"Master, I'll go to work first."
Qing Yuan stood up and said.
"Go ahead."
Fang Yuan waved his hand.
After glancing at the sky, he was also ready to go to the Assassin's Mansion.
"That. Can I go with Sister Qingyu? ”
Fang Jingyu asked timidly.
"Whatever you want."
Fang Yuan got up and said indifferently.
Fang Jingyu immediately walked happily towards Qing Yuan.
Zheng Jiu, Qing Yuan and Fang Jingyu left, and Fang Yuan went to assassinate the Shi Mansion.
"Zhang San, send a notice to the county order of the three counties and ask them to prepare for spring ploughing!"
"If there is still a shortage of water in other places, it will be diverted from the Gujiao River, and the three counties of Liaozhou must have a bumper harvest this year."
Fang Yuan called Zhang San and ordered.
It's spring, and there is still a short time before spring ploughing.
But you have to let them observe the farmland in advance to make sure that they can cultivate it.
The last year's drought left many places without water, and this rain saved the land.
However, there may be some places where there is no water, and it is necessary to drain or dig a ditch as soon as possible.
"Zhou Zun, what should I do if some families have all their vitality in the factory?"
Zhang San asked.
Liaozhou City opened a factory, recruiting people from one city and three counties.
Although Fang Yuan had an order, the family could only beckon one person, but it was aimed at one factory.
Some people have exploited loopholes, one person in this factory, one person in that factory, and almost all the new forces in the family have entered the factory to work.
"Let the factories make announcements to their employees that the work can be done, but the farmland cannot be wasted!"
"If anyone misses the time to cultivate their farmland, the official will dismiss them from the factories and will no longer hire them."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
The taxes collected by the imperial court can be grain or copper coins.
However, Fang Yuan did not allow everyone in Liaozhou to pay copper money, and he also had to ensure that the local food was sufficient.
Food is key in any era, especially in difficult times, and food is many times more important than money.
"Zhou Zun, why don't we imitate the cultivation model of Wuling County?"
Zhang San pondered for a moment and said.
"Huh?"
"The official almost forgot, so he will do it according to the cultivation model of Wuling County, but the announcement will also be issued!"
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
When he was in Wuling County, Fang Yuan gave a policy to the local people in order to improve the harvest of crops.
That is: whoever produces the most grain per mu is the champion of farming, and the same grain is rewarded, or copper coins of the same value are rewarded.
As a result, in the years when the policy was introduced, the grain in Wuling County was bumper year by year, and the people of Wuling County were more enthusiastic about their farmland than usual.
"Yes!"
Zhang San Gongsheng should leave.
"Huang Dada, how many rangers are there in the city now?"
Fang Yuan called Huang Dada and asked.
The Ranger in the city is a problem.
Chivalry is forbidden with force, and there are no less than a few people who rely on a broken sword to act wrong.
Although the three dead security guards in Qian Zhuang were made by Deng Ling's ink, they were also blamed on the rangers.
Their existence will bring uncertainties to Liaozhou City, and it will also bring security risks to the people of Liaozhou City.
"I haven't counted it, but there are quite a few, no less than 100 people."
"Mainly during your absence, I heard that you came here because of the war."
Huang Da said respectfully.
"Issuance of recruitment orders and expulsion orders!"
"Anyone who wants to stay in Liaozhou needs to join the escort team and obey the order of the state government, thirty yuan a month!"
"If you don't want to join, leave Liaozhou City within three days, otherwise you will be expelled!"
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
The appearance of Deng Ling's ink made Fang Yuan deeply feel the lack of masters in his hands.
Thinking of seizing the Mo family's treasure from the hands of Deng Ling's Mo with Mozi in the future, Fang Yuan felt that he wanted to improve his power.
"Yes!"
Huang Da complimented yes.
Carry out Fang Yuan's orders.
Soon, the rangers in Liaozhou City got the news.
For a while, the unruly rangers began to have the heart to cause chaos.
A room in the State Guest House.
Those two Deng Ling Zhimo live here.
"Senior sister, that Fang Yuan is really arrogant, driving us away in the name of driving away the rangers."
The young man snorted coldly.
"Let him be, just a magistrate."
"Is there any news from the person I asked you to inquire about?"
Mo Cailing said coldly.
The eyebrows are full of lofty nobility.
Their Deng Ling's ink is the greatest hero, for the country and the people, and what they do is for the common people in the world.
The ancestors once made the ministers of the nations frightened, and made the nobles and bureaucrats tremble, and did not dare to be too mean.
It's just a history of stabbing in one place, and you can't let yourself and others take it to heart.
"It was inconvenient to rain just now, but I only found out that it was Li Tao's wife."
The young man's face froze, and he sneered.
"Check again!"
"Results in three days!"
Mo Cailing frowned, looked dissatisfied, and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, yes."
The young man hurriedly left.
In the room, Mo Cailing was the only one left.
She lay on the soft bed and looked at the ceiling, muttering, "Is it you?!" ”
A few days passed.
There were several ranger rebellions in the city of Liaozhou.
But in the end, they were pacified by the state officials and imprisoned.
Of the remaining rangers, sixty-three were recruited, and the rest were driven away.
The three hundred state officials in the state capital have already made an exception and can no longer be included in the establishment, so Fang Yuan can only write to the imperial court to ask for a resettlement method, so as not to be targeted.
In the past few days, a total of 7 families in Liaozhou City have moved from other places, and the number of people is more than double that of the three families of Zhao Sun Qian before, and they are the main force in the migration.
These families will not all move to one place, they are divided into one main vein and several branches, this time the 7 families have all migrated over with the main vein, mainly Fang Yuan's advertisement.
Policy support, money bank borrowing, plus Liaozhou is small, only one city and three counties, the local family will definitely not be very strong, even if it is to stay and develop in the future, it is also a good choice.
The Assassin's Mansion Conference Room.
Fang Yuan summoned the seven newly relocated families and the previous ten families to a meeting.
"First of all, this official Lianzhou Assassin Shi Fangyuan, welcome you to move to Liaozhou City."
"The conditions proposed by the patriarch such as Zhao Yuanzhi before this official have not changed, and they are still valid."
Fang Yuan opened his remarks.
There were ten people at the scene, all over 30 years old, some with gray hair, and it was estimated that they were already fifty or sixty years old.
Although people are different, Fang Yuan feels that they all have one thing in them, that is, shrewdness and snobbery.
It is also estimated that it is shrewd and snobbish, so it will choose to estimate the risk of war and migrate to preserve strength.
"Thank you, Fang Tingshi."
"There is a sentence about the history of the square thorn, I will be relieved to wait."
"Fang Tingshi, don't worry, we will definitely follow your policy in Liaozhou City."
"Fang Thorn Shi's Liaozhou security team, can we also call it when we need people to escort the goods?"
The crowd opened their mouths to flatter.
They breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Fang Yuan's affirmation.
The migration to Liaozhou also depends on the conditions given by the Chinese source.
Otherwise, there will be many better places for them to choose from than Liaozhou.
Flattery to the end, people began to ask questions.
"Not bad!"
"The price is definitely much better than if you were to provide a team of guards."
Fang Yuan chuckled and nodded.
The security team did not charge money for Ji Rufeng's escort task, which was the benefit given to them by Fang Yuan.
But these families can't have such good benefits, they have to give money to call in the security team.
There is an essential difference between a trading house and a family, Fang Yuan can trust Ji Rufeng and other trading houses, but he can't trust these families in front of him.
"Xie Fang's assassination, the security team has solved a lot of our problems."
There is a family sighing.
They were relocated because of the security team.
The name that no one dares to stop across the thirteen counties of Bingzhou has been completely beaten.
I heard that the history of the state assassin and the history of the Xinzhou assassin forbade the people to spread the news, but the more they were banned, the more it spread, and the families in other states heard this rumor.
"It's rare to get together with all the families, and by the way, I would like to talk about the next step of the official."
Fang Yuan waved his hand.
The door to the conference room is opened.
Zheng Jiu, Huang Dada and others appeared pushing a sand table.
When Zhao Yuanzhen and the other family heads saw it, they all got up in an uproar and looked at the sand table in surprise.
"What is this?"
"Why is it so exquisite?"
"It's a sand table, but it's too ingenious, isn't it?"
"It's shocking, I've never seen a delicate sand table!"
Zhao Yuanzhen and others were shocked.
Looking at the advancing sand table, I was shocked.
They are all knowledgeable people, and they know at a glance that the sand table is not simple.
They had never seen such a delicate sand table before, and it greatly shocked them all.
"Yes, this is the sand table."
"Look, what do these things look like?"
Fang Yuan chuckled.
It's a pity that the giant is still recuperating from his injuries, otherwise let him introduce him.
I believe that so many generations of family patriarchs will be very proud of his sand table.
This is the sand table that Fang Yuan has already dragged the giant to do, a certain community plan in Dongcheng District.
With the advent of the bank, the community can also be launched, allowing the families to borrow money to build the community.
"It looks like a house."
"House by house?"
Zhao Yuanzhen was surprised.
It's a bit like the guest house they stayed in.
I heard that many people now want to build a house according to the structure of the State Guest House.
But the materials and prices discouraged them, so they didn't start.
"Yes, it's the house."
"These sand tables are all miniature versions, and the official is ready to follow this model to create a substantial house, called a community."
"The houses in each building have several rooms, and they can all live in a few families, and one house can live in many families."
Fang Yuan said loudly.
"Fang Thorn History, can you build such a tall building?"
The newly relocated family asked puzzledly.
It's not like no one has ever tried to build a tall building, but it's only three floors at most.
If it is too high, it will be beyond the tolerance range, it will collapse easily, and it will be very time-consuming and labor-intensive, which is not necessarily a good thing.
"Yes."
"Presumably, Zhao Yuanzhi and several patriarchs have seen the high-rise building in the official mansion, which has nine floors, and it is made of cement, iron and steel, and other things."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
"Yes, indeed."
Zhao Yuanzhen and others sighed.
"Is it the tall building in the center of the city?"
The newly relocated family immediately asked.
As soon as they entered the city, they found strange tall buildings there.
I was very curious about how such a tall building could be built, whether it was strong or not.
Since it was Fang Yuan's high-rise building, they didn't doubt whether it could be built successfully, after all, Fang Yuan didn't have to lie to them.
"Not bad!"
"Nine floors, wait for the top of the building, and see the mountains at a glance!"
"Have you ever thought about living in a high-rise building and having a panoramic view of the city?"
Fang Yuan said with a smile.
Make a resounding name for the community house.
The people of this era certainly did not have as much insight as the people of later generations.
Some of them may not dare to build that tall because of the height of the building or so on.
But as long as the advertising is good, then the sales can go up, and there is no need to worry about not selling.
Naturally, Fang Yuan planned to let them build it, and he only took the money for the land, the money for raw materials and other aspects, and let them bear the risks.
"Living in a high-rise building and having a view of the whole city?"
Everyone murmured, a little moved.
They all waited for the mountain and saw the scenery at the foot of the mountain.
The exclamation of seeing the mountains at a glance is something they can't forget.
How nice it would be if you lived in a high-rise building in the city and looked at the city?
Doesn't it feel like you're in control?
Take control of someone else's life!
"Once this kind of community house is constructed, it will definitely become the most popular place to live."
"I told you that I want to invite you to build the Liaozhou community together and make a fortune together."
Fang Yuan is the color road.
To bind them to the city of Liaozhou.
Since you migrated, don't be in a hurry to leave so quickly.
Although Liaozhou has only one city and three counties, there are too many places to develop.
As long as they stay, according to their own plans, Liaozhou City may become the first city in the world in the future.
Everyone was excited, but they still kept a cool head.
"Fang Thorn History, the old decay has a few questions."
Ye Chengmin, the newly relocated patriarch of the family, said in a deep voice.
Everyone slowly became calm and looked at Ye Chengmin one after another.
Ye Chengmin has a high prestige among these newly relocated families.
"Please."
Fang Yuan invited everyone to sit down and talk.
It's normal to have doubts, and it's strange to have no doubts.
"First, why didn't Fang Thorn Shi choose the local family in the city, but chose to cooperate with the family we just migrated?"
"Second, how much money does it take to build this kind of community house, how much time does it take to build it, and how much can it be sold?"
Ye Chengmin asked several questions in a row.
However, it also helped the people present to ask what they wanted to ask.
The family is more profitable than a businessman who knows how to make money and avoid risks.
"First, if you understand a little bit, you will know that there are many discords between this official and the local family."
"But this is not the reason why the official does not cooperate with them, but the official just said, it is rare for you to be here, so I will first tell you about the policies that the official will implement next, and the official will try to cooperate with them later."
"Second, it is estimated that it will take tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars to build this kind of community, and the official has not built it, I don't know how much it will cost, as for the time, it should be able to be built in about a year, and how much money you make, it depends on how you promote it, isn't it?"
Fang Yuan said slowly.
Residential housing is definitely profitable.
However, it is difficult to say in the early stage, and it has to be accepted.
The afterlife is bound by policies and many things, and there is no way to do it.
In this era, Fang Yuan also wanted to follow suit, but there was no way to follow suit.
At most, it is to attract investment on the first floor of the community to provide convenience to the owners.
"We understand what Fang Tingshi means, can we think about it for a while?"
Ye Chengmin nodded slowly, and did not immediately agree to Fang Yuan.
Tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands are not a small number, and they have to be cautious.
"Naturally, it needs to be thought through."
"But this is also a benefit from the official to you, please give an answer within seven days."
"By the way, this time, the official only needs five to ten families to participate, and too many people are not conducive to the later dividends."
Fang Yuan was not surprised, and chuckled.
But the initiative must still be in your own hands.
If they were united, Fang Yuan would break them up in the later stages.
The unity of any family is not conducive to the governance of the local government.
"Nature, nature."
"By the way, if we agree, can we borrow money from the bank?"
"You know, we can't bring that much money with us when we move here."
Ye Chengmin nodded again and again, a little flattering, and continued to ask.
Copper coins are too heavy to carry much.
If you carry too much, you are afraid of being robbed.
"Naturally."
"But the money in the bank is limited, please be considerate."
Fang Yuan smiled.
"That's nature."
Ye Chengmin and the others were happy at first, and then smiled awkwardly.
They thought of borrowing money directly from the bank to build the community, so they transferred the risk.
But what Fang Yuan said was also right, a money bank that had just been established might have hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Next, Fang Yuan stopped entertaining them and sent them out to the gate of the Assassin's Mansion before returning.
With their departure, the local families of Liaozhou City received the news.
That night, these families gathered at Xiwen Pei to express their dissatisfaction.
"Fang Yuan is too eccentric!"
"The policies and benefits are biased in favor of those who have migrated."
"We, the local families, have worked hard for Liaozhou, and there is no benefit, I don't accept it!"
"Yes, I'm not convinced, this kind of outsider's anti-bone boy, we can't just forget it!"
