Chapter 165: Food Problem, Wait for Death
"Please don't stuff too many people over."
Ji Rufeng and the others glanced at each other and said.
They had been with Fang Yuan for a long time and knew Fang Yuan's character.
At this time, you must not refuse, I just hope that too many people will not be stuffed over.
"Okay, this official already understands your situation, and I have worked hard for you to make a trip."
Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said solemnly.
Ji Rufeng: They added 200 to 500 people to each factory.
The cement factory, steel factory, brick factory, soft bed factory, toilet factory, etc., each increased by 500 to 1,000 people.
Roughly calculated, the main urban area of Liaozhou can accommodate one or two hundred thousand people.
There are also four counties that also accept a large portion.
Let the refugees open up the wasteland and dig out their own land.
"I'll say goodbye!"
Ye Chengmin and the others glanced at each other, and finally got up to leave.
"Where is Yang Sine?"
Fang Yuan sat in the conference room for a moment and shouted out.
Soon, Yang Sina came in.
"Go do two things!"
"First, notify the counties and county orders and let them choose some places to be used to open up wasteland for refugees!"
"Second, notify all shops in one city and four counties, and advocate that they recruit people, and the salary for the first three months can be low, but they must include food and housing."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
How many refugees are pouring in is uncertain.
But if you want to accommodate more people, you have to mobilize more forces.
"Yes!"
Yang Siner's compliments should be.
He was about to leave, but was stopped by Fang Yuan.
"By the way, let someone go to the money village and call Lu Xia here."
Fang Yuan commanded again.
Yang Sine left and did what Fang Yuan had ordered.
It didn't take long for Lu Xia to come over, and before Fang Yuan could speak, she began to complain.
"Zhouzun, I'm so busy."
"I'm a doppelganger now, and I can't keep myself busy."
Midori Xia said with a sad face.
She is now the manager of the White Tiger Club, the manager of the State Guest House, and the manager of the money house.
She had to manage all three places, which was too difficult, and she could hardly tell where she came from, especially during this time.
"Is it so busy?"
"The White Tiger Club hasn't been handed over to Lu Chuchu yet?"
Fang Yuan was very surprised, and said suspiciously.
"I almost threw it to her, but I haven't completely thrown it to her, she's lazy."
Lu Xia complained.
The White Tiger Club and the State Guest House do not occupy a lot of time, mainly because there are many things in the bank.
Only two of the refugees from the camp in the south of the city were really eligible for the arithmetic and were sent to the money bank to help.
But they still have a lot of unfamiliarity, so they can't really help much just yet.
So there are so many jobs that Midori Summer has to help out that she can't even be busy lately.
"You work hard a few more days, just wait for this time."
"If you are really too busy, go to the Fang Mansion to find someone, and let whoever you find do it."
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and comforted.
"Okay."
"What are you looking for me?"
Lu Xia changed his face and said with a smile.
"Recently, Liaozhou will bring in a large number of refugees, and then the official will come up with some policies so that they can borrow money."
"You have to review their situation at that time, and the minimum requirement is to have a job in Liaozhou."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
The refugees who were admitted this time could not simply feed them and not starve to death.
It is also necessary to give them the opportunity to start a business and so on, so that those who have the ability can develop.
But in order to reduce the risk, at least you need to have a job in Liaozhou, and if you can't pay the money, it will be deducted from your salary.
"Okay, don't worry."
Lu Xia thought about it and said solemnly.
This is not a problem, she must strictly control the policies issued by Fang Yuan.
"Then you get busy first."
Fang Yuan originally had some detailed thoughts to talk to her.
But seeing that she is so busy, I won't delay her, let her go and get busy first.
"Mmmm, I'll go to the Fang Mansion to find someone first."
Midori Xia nodded heavily.
Fangfu's Hongfu and Qingyu, as well as Xue Jiaoyan, can come to help.
By the way, there is also Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li is also very good at arithmetic, and she has to be invited over.
These days, those families come to apply for loans, and it is troublesome to review, and you have to estimate how much to borrow.
Time passed.
There are more and more refugees outside the city, and it has exceeded 10,000.
But because of two gruel meals a day and two hundred people a day, order outside the city was good.
Not only did there be no disturbance, but many latrines were built, and the refugees' basic sanitation was solved.
Everything seems stable.
But the real problem is just beginning.
The grain in Liaozhou City is about to bottom out!
None of them have come back yet!
was about to ask Du Miaoyan about the situation, and Du Miaoyan arrived.
"Fang Yuan, good news and bad news."
Du Miaoyan said with a complicated face.
"Let's start with the good news."
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said indifferently.
"The good news is that Changsun Chong has returned from Bingzhou, and he has successfully transported back the grain, and he is about to arrive at the gate of the city."
"The bad news is that something happened to Zhao Yingcai, the assassin of Langzhou, and Du He couldn't receive the food, so I asked you if you want to come back first?"
Du Miaoyan sighed.
"What happened to Zhao Yingcai?"
Fang Yuan was suddenly shocked.
"Cui Zhentang, the head of the household department, impeached Zhao Yingcai for maliciously purchasing grain, intending to hoard goods and raise prices to subvert the regime, and now he is being taken to Chang'an City by the officials to be tried."
Du Miaoyan sighed.
"Slander!"
Fang Yuan was furious.
He was so anxious that he got up and walked back and forth.
Zhao Yingcai bought grain for himself.
This matter can be testified by itself, and there is a high probability that the imperial court will not pursue it.
But since Zhao Yingcai has been taken away, he will definitely investigate deeply, and there is a high probability that something will happen to him.
Because Zhao Yingcai's butt is not clean, although the problem is not big, it is very likely to be demoted or dismissed.
This is where Fang Yuan is anxious!
"What now?"
"Do you want me to take a letter back to my father?"
"But it may not have much effect, Cui Zhentang is a member of the Boling Cui clan."
Seeing that Fang Yuan was so anxious, Du Miaoyan pondered for a moment and said.
Cui Zhentang is not only a household servant, but also a person with five surnames and seven wangs, and he has a strong relationship.
Even if you ask Du Ruhui to come forward, this kind of thing that has been put on the table must also pay attention to evidence.
"No, you don't."
"You tell Duhe and them not to come back yet."
"Also, let them send Yang Xiulan and Zhao Zixuan to Liaozhou City safely!"
Fang Yuan shook his head and said in a deep voice.
Zhao Yingcai's food was not collected, but he couldn't receive it.
Leave them behind, and there will be no problems with that batch of grain, and no one will dare to mess with that batch of grain.
But Fang Yuan was worried about Yang Xiulan and Zhao Zixuan's mother and daughter, worried that someone would target the two of them, and worried about the safety of the two.
Zhao Yingcai was taken to Chang'an City, and according to the process, it was difficult to solve the problem without a month or two.
"Okay!"
Du Miaoyan nodded solemnly, and then left the arrangement.
"Zhang San, you go to greet Changsun Chong in person."
"Let them in through the south gate, and try not to let the refugees know about the food being brought back."
Fang Yuan called Zhang San and said in a deep voice.
"Yes."
Zhang San left.
Fang Yuan leaned back on the stool a little tired.
Zhao Yingcai was not taken away for a long time, he was not taken away for a long time, but he was taken away at this time, and it is estimated that someone took the opportunity to make trouble.
Otherwise, knowing that Zhao Yingcai's batch of grain was transported for disaster relief should give him some face.
Cui Zhentang, Cui Yuanting, Boling Cui's is a good Boling Cui's.
"Zhou Zun, can the lower officials come in?"
Yang Sine's voice sounded outside the door.
"Enter."
Fang Yuan sat up solemnly and said indifferently.
"Zhou Zun, the lower officials heard that Zhao Yingcai, the assassin of Langzhou, was brought to Chang'an City for trial because of something."
Yang Sina closed the door and said softly.
"You're so well informed."
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile.
Du Miaoyan's front foot had just called for the news to pass on to him, and Yang Sine knew it on the back foot.
Is this what the son of the prince is capable of?
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince asked if you needed help?"
Yang Sina smiled slightly, and then took a few steps forward and whispered.
"Third Prince Li Ke?!"
Fang Yuan was suddenly a little unsettled.
When did you get noticed by the prince?
"Exactly."
"His Royal Highness admires the state and has always wanted to talk at night."
"But because the distance was too far, I couldn't do it, and this time I learned that your former superior had an accident, so I asked my subordinate to ask if you need help?"
Yang Siner explained.
At this moment, Yang Sine had a feeling of superiority.
But it's no wonder, after all, as the son of the prince and the prince, he will inevitably be proud.
"This officer thinks about it."
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.
Unexpectedly, Yang Siner is not only the son of Yang Gongren, the prince of Guanguo, but also the person of Li Ke, the third prince.
And Li Ke even took a fancy to himself and wanted to take refuge in him.
It's a pity that Li Ke is not destined to return.
"Zhou Zun, Zhao Thorn Shi is in danger!"
Yang Sina opened his mouth and looked at Fang Yuan with some astonishment.
You must know that he represents the third prince Li Ke this time.
Fang Yuan said that the consideration, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is a refusal, right?
"This official said to consider it!"
Fang Yuan's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice.
"Yes, the next official will retire."
Yang Sine frowned, a little unhappy.
But he was not proud enough to face Fang Yuan in Liaozhou.
After Yang Sine left, Fang Yuan fell into deep thought again.
Zhao Yingcai must have to find a way to save it, but he can't rely on Li Ke to save it.
The third emperor of the Tang Dynasty is not the current crown prince Li Chengqian, nor is it the third prince Li Ke.
Relying on Li Ke to save Zhao Yingcai at this moment is equivalent to announcing to the outside world that he has taken refuge in Li Ke and will be liquidated in the future.
So what to do?
Fang Yuan's brows furrowed into the word Sichuan.
Not long after, Eldest Sun Chong and Cheng Chumo returned and went to Fang Yuan to resume their lives.
"Fang Yuan, 10,000 stone of grain from Bingzhou was successfully transported back!"
The eldest grandson arched his hand and said.
"Thank you for your hard work, please the White Tiger Club?"
Fang Yuan smiled and invited them to sit down for tea.
"Okay."
"I heard that something is wrong with Duhe?"
Changsun Chong and Cheng Chu glanced at each other silently, revealing a smile that all men understand.
"There was an accident, but it's not Du He, it's Zhao Yingcai, the assassin of Langzhou."
Fang Yuan explained the situation to the two of them.
"It's surnamed Cui again!"
"The Bolingcui clan is really not a good thing!"
When the eldest grandson heard this, he immediately said angrily.
"You're in trouble in the state too?"
Fang Yuan frowned.
The sons of the two princes went in person, and no one dared to stop them?
"It's a bit of a hassle."
"When we were transporting grain, Cui Yuanting, the assassin of Bingzhou, threatened to send grain to the state for disaster relief and would not transport it to us."
"At that time, I was angry and scolded him a few times, and Chu Mo was even more direct, and directly took out two axes, which were successfully transported back."
The eldest grandson Chong said coldly.
It's ridiculous, and the state wants food relief, why didn't I see them for disaster relief?
In the entire Hedong Road, there is currently only one place in Liaozhou for disaster relief, and the others have not even opened a city gate.
"Do you have any ideas to join forces with me to get the Bolingcui Clan?"
Fang Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice.
"Forget it."
The eldest grandson Chong immediately sneered.
The Bolingcui clan is really strong, unimaginably strong.
He is only the son of the Guogong, and he doesn't have an official position, how dare he engage in the Boling Cui clan.
Even his own official Shangshu father didn't dare to go too far in the face of these wealthy families.
"Okay, then you can go back and rest first."
"Just report my name when you go to the White Tiger Club."
Fang Yuan said with a smile.
was not dissatisfied because the two of them did not cooperate.
In the face of the five surnames and seven hopes, normal people are all avoidant, how dare they easily go against them.
"Remember to call us if there's something over there!"
The eldest grandson Chong didn't stay long, and left with Cheng Chumo.
After the two left, Fang Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind: an idea to save Zhao Yingcai came to mind.
"Zheng Jiu, how many state officials and security guards are there outside the city now?"
Fang Yuan called Zheng Jiu and asked.
"There are two hundred and thirty state officials and two hundred and sixty-five security guards outside the city to help!"
Zheng Jiu walked over and said respectfully.
He is not like Zhang San, and he has to check the book when he reports his work.
"So much, has order in the city been affected?"
Fang Yuan frowned.
"It does have an impact."
"The brothers are busy until late every day to rest."
"There are many places where patrols have been reduced, and many factories are temporarily short of guards."
Zheng Jiu reported truthfully.
But it can't be helped, there are really few people in the city now.
If you persist for a while, you will get better, and everyone gritted their teeth and persevered.
"Order outside the city is important, but order inside the city is just as important."
"As more and more refugees are brought in, order in the city will become even more important."
"From today onwards, twenty state officials and security guards will be transferred back every day to stabilize order in the city and guard various factories!"
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
"Twenty each for the state clerk and the security guard?"
Zheng Jiu asked uncertainly.
"Yes."
Fang Yuan nodded.
"But there are a lot of refugees coming in every day, how can we manage so many refugees when we transfer people back like this?"
Zheng Jiu said worriedly.
There are too many refugees outside the city, more than 20,000.
20,000 ah, you can raise an army to fight.
"There will be more and more refugees outside the city, and we will not be able to manage them with more people."
"The city is the most important thing, to make sure that the people in the city are okay, go ahead."
Fang Yuan waved his hand and didn't talk to Zheng Jiu.
He was ostensibly for the stability of the city, but secretly for the rescue of Zhao Yingcai.
Save Zhao Yingcai Here Fang Yuan has his own ideas and does not intend to tell anyone.
Subsequently, Fang Yuan called Zhang San to arrange some things.
A few more days passed.
The number of refugees outside the city swelled to 35,000.
Order has collapsed, but it is still maintained.
Because if you are obedient, you will have the opportunity to enter the city, and you can be sent to the city to work after registering the information.
This is the reason why most people are willing to accept order.
But those who have a heart will actually find that there are more than half of the state officials and security guards outside the city.
Tents were also discontinued, and new refugees either poured into the tents that had been put in place at the beginning or slept in the open air.
At the same time, the refugees also found that the gruel was even thinner, and they could not fill their stomachs, which was very different from the beginning.
For a while, the refugees began to have opinions.
"Hey, official, why are these porridges getting thinner and thinner day by day?"
"Don't you want to provide disaster relief, do you put the money and grain of the court into your own pockets?"
"That is, we want to eat, we want to eat meat, we want to go into the city to eat fragrant and spicy food."
Someone made a fuss.
There were a lot of people who responded at first.
Because the porridge is really thinner and thinner day by day.
But after the trouble was about to enter the city, the people who had arrived earlier panicked.
Suddenly, the refugees split into two camps.
"What about after entering the city?"
"Will you rob when you enter the city?"
"When you enter the city, will you burn and plunder?"
"You don't have any fart, why do you eat and drink spicy food when you go to the city?"
There are early refugee rebuttals.
They remembered what Fang Yuan had said, and they were worried that Liaozhou City would no longer provide disaster relief.
"You, what are you talking nonsense?"
"We want to go to the city to work, not to rob the city!"
Another group of refugees retorted.
But the tone is obviously a little untenable.
They are like the first refugees to arrive.
I want to go to the city, I don't want to stay here and live like a pig and a dog.
But when asked about entering the city, they were speechless because they had no answer.
"Then you just wait to be picked, instead of making trouble here and affecting us."
The group of refugees who retorted shouted loudly.
None of them wanted their desire to enter the city to be compromised by their chances of entering the city.
"When's that going to be chosen?"
The refugees who wanted to enter the city said angrily.
These words touched the hearts of the people, but the people did not understand.
Some of the refugees were emotionally aroused and looked at the city gates with longing eyes.
There is not a single refugee here who does not want to go into the city, and there is not a single one who wants to stay here.
But some of the refugees who still kept their senses knew that they would no longer have a chance if they made trouble.
Suddenly, the city gate rumbled and slowly opened.
The people looked into the city with joy on their faces.
It was only very soon that they showed signs of panic.
I saw two long queues neatly walking out of the city.
They were all armed, and they walked out in unison with grim expressions.
If you estimate the number, there are as many as 500 people.
Since the disaster relief, so many people have appeared at the same time.
The troublesome refugees subconsciously became panicked and retreated.
Soon, Fang Yuan walked out on a horse, followed by Du Miaoyan, Xue Bowu, Li Danqiu's sisters and brothers, Zheng Jiu and so on, all of whom were masters.
After going out to the door, Fang Yuan and the others did not continue to move forward, and stayed at the door, and the refugees present looked at it and were very curious.
Not long after, a horse-drawn carriage drove quickly on the far side of the cement road, passing through the refugees on both sides of the cement road, and stopped in front of Fang Yuan and the others.
Fang Yuan dismounted and walked quickly to the carriage.
"Brother Yuan!"
No one has seen it yet.
The sound came from the carriage.
Immediately, a yellow figure jumped out of the carriage and pounced on Fang Yuan's body, hugging Fang Yuan tightly, crying.
Yang Xiulan also walked out of the carriage, her eyes were slightly red, but she was still calm and nodded slightly with Fang Yuan, and stepped out of the carriage with Fang Yuan's support.
The refugees present watched, and the second monk was puzzled.
"Be good, don't cry, Brother Yuan will save Uncle Zhao."
Fang Yuan patted Zhao Zixuan's back and comforted.
After pushing her away from his arms, Fang Yuan pulled the two of them forward a few steps and faced tens of thousands of refugees.
"This official heard that someone was making trouble just now!"
"Some people say that gruel is getting thinner day by day!"
"Some people also say that the money and grain of the imperial court are put in the pockets of their own officials!"
"But which eye of yours saw that the court had any money and food?"
Fang Yuan's face was grim, his tone was deep, and he shouted.
The scene was very quiet, and Fang Yuan's words could be heard by the people in front of him.
As soon as the words fell, they changed color in an uproar.
"Doesn't the court have any money and food to come down?"
The refugees were shocked and looked around.
They couldn't believe that the imperial court had no money and food to come down, so how could Liaozhou have been relieving the disaster for so long?
For nearly a month, has Liaozhou been helping the disaster by itself?
"Silence!"
On the horse, Du Miaoyan whipped the horse rope a few times.
A few snapping sounds sounded, causing the refugees at the scene to slowly quiet down and look at Fang Yuan one after another.
"It's me, it's the family and business house in Liaozhou, it's the food prepared by Zhao Yingcai, the assassin of Langzhou, Shannan Province, and his wife and daughter, so you can live!"
Fang Yuan continued to speak aloud.
Easily pushed Yang Xiulan's mother and daughter forward slightly.
As the refugees heard this, they burst into tears.
They thought it was the money and food of the imperial court, but they never thought that the imperial court had not given any help.
For a while, their feelings of gratitude, guilt and other emotions came to their hearts, and the eyes that looked at Yang Xiulan's mother and daughter were full of gratitude and guilt.
"However, in order to prepare food for you, Zhao Yingcai, the assassin of Langzhou, was impeached by traitors and sent to Chang'an City for trial."
"Now, there is no grain in Liaozhou, and the grain in Langzhou can't be transported if it is seized, so you can continue to make trouble, and by the way, wait for death."
Fang Yuan shouted loudly.
He brought out almost all the masters in the city today to greet Yang Xiulan's mother and daughter.
It's to fend off the refugees who might riot next.
Without food, they are going to die, can these refugees endure it and not rush into trouble?
