Chapter 620: Wildfires Burn Endlessly
The population of Guanzhong began to migrate to other places.
Wang Xuanjing took advantage of the drought in Guanzhong and the opportunity of thousands of miles of red land to migrate the population on a large scale.
The imperial court toured the east to eat, which was simply a joke for the imperial court.
As the imperial capital of a country, in order to save food, the emperor took hundreds of civil and military officials to other places to eat.
From this point, it can be seen that Guanzhong is really no longer suitable for farming. At least it can't feed that many people.
In the past, Wang Xuanjing wanted to migrate the people of Guanzhong to fill the land abandoned by war in various parts of the world. It's just that because people don't want to leave their homes, the migration is not going well at all.
But this time, there was a great drought in Guanzhong and people everywhere, but it gave Wang Xuanjing the best chance.
Wang Xuanjing's previous cash-for-work was to manage the victims with simple military methods, and after several months of running-in training, these people have become disciplined and obedient.
So taking advantage of this opportunity, he began to migrate these people to the Central Plains, Hebei, Youzhou, Hexi and other places.
The autumn breeze is bleak.
The land in the north is yellow, and a large number of new houses have been erected near a river.
After the training of these people, they did a good job, and since these things were originally built for themselves, they worked even harder. The surrounding ashes and ruins have been cleared.
They used infinite passion to dig ditches and build houses, and in just one month, they built more than 1,000 wooden houses.
The enthusiasm of the people was aroused, dredging the damaged ditches, repairing the damaged houses, and preparing for next year's spring planting.
Li Ke stood by the ditch with his hands behind his back, looking at the yellow fields, and then at the hot construction site next to him, and suddenly felt that this place was full of life.
Wang Xuanjing bought back the grain in the hands of those noble families, of course, the price increased slightly, but it still made them suffer heavy losses.
Then a large amount of grain was distributed by the imperial court to the people who were willing to migrate.
In fact, it is not possible to move without migration, there is no food at home, and if you do not migrate, you will starve to death.
Li Ke used two counties to accept the migrated victims, about 20,000 families, more than 60,000 people, in order to settle these people, the amount of money and food spent is amazing.
However, as long as these people take root here, the land that has been devastated by the war of the Sui Dynasty will be restored to life.
After two years, they will be providing a large amount of food.
The seeds are ready, and the agricultural equipment is lacking, but it will be replenished as soon as possible, barely enough, but the most troublesome thing is the serious shortage of ploughing cattle.
Since the war, most of these cattle have been snatched and killed for meat, and the number of cattle in the world has reached a dangerous level.
Fortunately, someone proposed the method of horse farming, because the land in the north is flat and close to the grassland, although horse farming is not as good as cattle, but it is finally helpful.
Coupled with manpower, it can barely be used.
These are not insurmountable difficulties, as long as we hurry up to plant winter wheat, and wait until the next year, as long as there is no catastrophe, these people will be able to stand firm.
"Zhuang, the imperial court has migrated and resettled the victims on such a large scale, what a great courage!" Zhang Xuan looked at the victims who lined up to enter the camp in line, and was amazed.
The discipline of these victims was unexpectedly good, and if they did, they would be a good auxiliary with a little training.
"Li Shangguan, I heard that a batch has also been placed in the west?"
Li Ke nodded and said: "Eight thousand households have been resettled, all of whom are those victims in Guanzhong, and there are about 28,000 people. ”
There is a county town in the west, which was abandoned at the end of the Sui Dynasty because of the war, and later it was burned down, so I immediately went to see it, these places are not bad, so I placed a group here.
The original dilapidated county town is also being repaired little by little, once ruins everywhere, birds, beasts, insects and ants are entrenched, and now it is gradually regaining popularity.
Li Ke was basically in charge of the resettlement of displaced people in Zhao County, and he was very relieved to see the dilapidated city getting better little by little, the ruins being cleaned up, and new houses being built.
It's easy to destroy, but it's hard to build.
It was burned down, and now it takes them ten years to recover.
"Let's eat!"
A well-rounded shout rang out, followed by the bell next to it.
The victims of the disaster officially opened their meals.
In order to provide disaster relief, Wang Xuanjing used military law, otherwise these tens of thousands of people are really difficult to manage, and they are almost a plate of scattered sand.
Since the afternoon, food has been prepared in the camp in the eastern suburbs of Zhao County, and Wang Xuanjing has implemented cash-for-work, so that the people will be fed.
Therefore, two meals a day were changed to three meals a day.
For the first time in their lives, many of the victims ate three meals a day, and they were full, with salt and even meat in them, which was something they had only dreamed of.
The camp's pots, crockpots, kettles, etc., are all in different styles, but they are all neatly arranged. Tens of thousands of people sat around, and the whole scene was not spectacular.
Although they suffered from drought this year and were relocated here by the imperial court, it has to be said that they also had enough to eat for the first time in their lives after coming here.
The first time, three meals a day, the first time I ate meat, too many firsts.
There is no doubt that the tuntian system is not a good system, otherwise after the world is peaceful, the tuntian system will be abolished in a very short time.
One of the important reasons for this is that the tax collection in Tuntian is too ruthless and there are too many restrictions.
However, in the event of a catastrophe or a war shortage, the tuntian system will be found to be unexpectedly easy to use.
Not only is the management simple, but the tuntian system is used for disaster relief, as long as they survive the first year, the rest will be their benefits. The imperial court no longer has to bear the huge problem of food and materials.
Basically, under the tuntian system, they can produce and use it on their own.
Li Ke came to the camp, and the people around him were very grateful to him, although they were tired now, but at least they all survived, many people who dragged their families and had children, they were also relieved, at least the children would not die.
A large amount of food was delivered, and when they learned that there was a meat meal tomorrow, the camp cheered.
Most of the meat eaten by these people is river fresh, or some hunted prey, and the amount is not much, basically boiled into broth, and one person drinks a bowl.
But even so, it still satisfies the people.
Li Ke saw a child in the crowd. Walk over and pick it up.
The child was about four or five years old, his face was dirty, his clothes were in tatters, but at least he was well fed.
If there are children, it means that the people have passed the most dangerous time.
The child's parents stood aside, cowering, as if they wanted to say something, but did not know how to speak.
"What's his name?"
"Weeds."
"That's a good name." Li Ke said: "Wildfires can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows." ”
"How's it going here?"
"Okay."
"How's it going?"
"Don't worry about being stolen when you sleep."
Li Ke was silent when he heard this, he knew what the so-called stealing was.
