Disaster victims arrive and resettlement sites are built

The resettlement site planned by Li Zhi is next to the Fengshui River.

The abundance of water here provides a powerful power for some of the workshop's machinery.

It also solves the problem of water supply for workshops and victims.

Due to the limited time, Li Zhi handed over the work of supervising the construction to Li Zhe.

He himself hurried to draw some mechanical drawings and then found someone to hurry up and make them.

These things cannot be handed over to the general as a prisoner, because these will be Li Zhi's own property in the future.

Once he is reported, he will be charged with a public weapon for private use.

Li Zhi transferred Yang Siqi over and put him in charge of recruiting people to make equipment.

Liu An was sent by him to buy coal mines.

When the construction of the resettlement site is completed, it is estimated that winter will not be far away.

He had to solve the problem of heating the victims before that.

At present, people only understand that coal can be used to make coke and make iron.

didn't know that Li Zhi would soon let coal into thousands of households.

Pei Mingli moved the cement workshop to the workshop area at the request of Li Zhi.

Several of the kilns he acquired also began to expand.

Li Zhi plans to build the resettlement site with bricks and cement to lay the foundation for his future plans.

Most of the recent capacity of the ironmaking workshop will also serve Li Zhi.

Li Zhi made a large amount of pig iron and wrought iron from Ba Zheng, among which wrought iron also specially asked Ba Ken to make thin plates.

He plans to start making honeycomb stoves, partly to heat the victims, and more to sell them.

Coal and honeycomb stoves are part of the funding that Li Zhi uses to sustain the construction of the settlement.

The first victims arrived a little earlier than expected, with a small number of a few hundred.

But it also means that the work of accepting the victims has officially begun.

Li Zhi found Li Zhe and said to him: "First arrange some meals for the victims to feed them, and then organize men to start building houses." ”

Li Zhe agreed and ran to arrange, and Li Zhi asked Pei Mingli to start preparing cement bricks.

Since some foundations had already been dug before, the construction work that began was going well.

More than 2,000 people were busy together, and the main body of dozens of bungalows was soon built.

Each bungalow designed by Li Zhi is three-room, so that the needs of the family can be met as much as possible.

After the first batch of housing was formed, Li Zhe immediately found Li Zhi.

He said with some concern: "Your Highness, are these houses too luxuriously built?" I'm afraid the cost will be unbearable! ”

He was right, the houses built here were much better than most of the houses in Chang'an.

The cost of building a house for more than 30,000 people at this standard is really a bit big.

Li Zhi comforted: "Lord Li doesn't need to worry, these houses will not be demolished after they are completed, and the official will have his own way to recover the cost in the future." ”

Li Zhi's confident appearance once again made Li Zhe feel speechless.

He is now more and more unable to understand Li Zhi.

However, he is not easy to persuade too much, after all, the person who spends the money is Li Zhi himself, and it doesn't matter how people want to build it.

As more and more people arrived, the construction of resettlement sites became faster and faster.

Li Zhi selected some experienced craftsmen from among these people and asked them to start decorating the interior of the house with some people.

It's still late summer and early autumn, and after the house is renovated, it doesn't need to be dried too much, and it will soon be ready to move in.

So within a few days, Li Zhi gradually arranged for the old man and the children to move in first.

When the victims saw the elderly and children living in the houses they had built, everyone was full of enthusiasm.

They had never thought that these houses were for them to live in.

just thought that this was the price of the imperial court to support them.

In their minds, being able to eat two full meals a day is already a very good treatment, and they don't dare to ask for too much.

This is also deliberate by Li Zhi.

He didn't give a lecture to the victims as soon as he came up, preaching any inspiring teachings.

These victims came here to survive, and what Li Zhi did was to let them see hope as soon as possible.

And no words can be more reassuring than the rising houses and the full meals of two meals a day.

The men were responsible for building the houses, and the women were not idle, so Li Zhi put them in charge of cooking and washing clothes.

In addition, he also arranged for some elderly people to clean up the garbage in the resettlement site and keep it hygienic at all times.

When the number of victims became more and more, Li Zhi began to divide them into areas, so that people in the same place could live together as much as possible.

Rows of houses, streets, and districts gradually took shape in less than a month.

All the victims were already dizzy with happiness.

They never imagined that the victims would be treated so well.

Many people laugh while doing in the process of construction.

There were even people who lived in the house in advance, crying loudly.

Some people refuse to leave the construction site even if they are accidentally injured.

They felt sorry for what they were enjoying so far.

After a few more days, all the victims were largely settled.

It was only then that Li Zhi began to take advantage of the evening to visit various districts.

The first is to calm the emotions of the victims, and the other is to convey to them their plans for the future.

Under Li Zhe's explanation, the victims really knew that it was only a child who brought them all this.

The victims of the disaster in each district will express their gratitude to Li Zhi, and most of them are directly moved to tears.

Li Zhi directly deducted all this credit to Li Shimin's head.

He said to the victims: "Ladies and gentlemen, the imperial court has just been established, and it is not yet possible to make you wait for food and clothing. ”

Speaking of this, he changed his words and said: "But Your Majesty is working hard, and I believe that this wish will be achieved in the near future." ”

After saying this, all the people bowed in the direction of Chang'an City.

The mouth kept shouting: Long live my emperor!

Li Zhi waited for them to calm down and continued: "Everything you have enjoyed now is a blessing that has dragged down Your Majesty, and this king hopes that you will behave well in the future and not disappoint Your Majesty." ”

When the victims heard this, they immediately expressed their loyalty.

Li Zhe was also full of admiration when he watched it from the side.

Li Zhi did not make a long speech, but mobilized the gratitude of the people in a few simple sentences.

Li Zhe is very sure that these victims will definitely exert all their strength in the subsequent labor.

No matter how tiring the work, they can persevere.

Things turned out as he expected, and then Li Zhi brought a lot of machinery.

Soon after the machines were assembled, Li Zhi began to instruct some of the victims to make honeycomb coal and honeycomb stoves.

The victims he selected were all serious about studying, and they were afraid that they would miss the opportunity to repay the court because they did not study well.
