Chapter 1017: A Worried Heart

Linsha City is in the hinterland of the sandbank, and it is six or seven hundred miles away from the border of Qingzhou, so it is definitely not easy for those displaced people to come to Linsha City.

Now it seems that 600,000 homeless people have come to Linsha City, but Lin Ze believes that the number of homeless people who have fallen on the road will definitely not be less than 100,000.

Thinking that more than 100,000 homeless people had fallen on the road like this, Lin Ze was really murderous to the leaders of the Qingzhou rebels in his heart.

"My lord, you ........" Ma Ziqiang on the side was a little unstoppable, he was now only an acquired eighth-layer master, compared to Lin Ze's strength that he could directly confront the innate stage master now, it was much worse.

"Oh....... , I'm sorry, General Ma, I'm sorry!" Lin Ze reacted, quickly gathered his killing intent, and apologized to Ma Ziqiang.

"General Ma, I just think of the leaders of the Qingzhou rebels who caused this huge disaster, so I can't help it in my heart, I can't help it, I will make such a mistake and hurt you by mistake, I'm really sorry. Lin Ze explained here.

Ma Ziqiang understood as soon as he heard it, and said very generously: "My lord, what did you say, for the leaders of the Qingzhou rebels, they also hated them very much, with their birth, they should have understood the hardships of the people at the bottom, and it stands to reason that after they rebelled, they should treat these people at the bottom well, but they directly ignored the lives of these people at the bottom and drove them out of Qingzhou."

Seriously, in fact, with their strength, they can completely rescue most of the displaced people, but in the end, they made such a choice, so, my lord, for these people, the lowly position is also eager to tear them apart directly. ”

When he said this, Ma Ziqiang's eyes also flashed with endless killing intent, endless killing intent towards those rebel leaders in Qingzhou.

Historically, something similar has happened.

The most obvious example is Li Zicheng in the late Ming Dynasty.

Li Zicheng was obviously born from the bottom of the people, not only Li Zicheng, but most of the leaders of the peasant uprisings at the end of the Ming Dynasty were born at the bottom, so these people know the hard life of the people at the bottom best.

But what did they do after the uprising?

Not only did they not help the people at the bottom, but also, during the uprising, directly coerced a large number of ordinary people at the bottom and used them as cannon fodder on the battlefield.

In order to prevent these low-level ordinary people from contributing to the siege of the city, they also detained their families as protons in the camp, and when they were defeated, they left these old and weak behind to block the pursuers behind them.

This kind of thing, these rebels did not once or twice, but countless times.

Even Li Zicheng did the same thing.

Even if he later put forward what 'Juntian is free of grain', and 'Welcoming the king, the king of Chuang will not pay for food' and other slogans that seem to be close to the people, but in fact, these are just slogans, how Li Zicheng did it before, and how he does it now, at most it is a little hidden.

Not to mention the rest, just because Li Zicheng broke through the opening of the seal and directly dug the embankment of the Yellow River, it can be seen that he is not a good person, or in fact, he is also a tyrant who does not love the people and only treats the people as bargaining chips.

Every time the Yellow River bursts, the harm is great, and Li Zicheng's burst of the embankment directly drowned more than 300,000 people near Kaifeng Prefecture, so the number of people who have lost their livelihood is even more numerous.

If Li Zicheng were a person who loves the people and understands the people at the bottom, he would not have done such an inhumane thing.

And that's just one example, and there are many more like that.

Let's put it this way, from the beginning of Li Zicheng's rebellion to his death, the number of innocent people who died because of it was definitely calculated in millions.

Where is such a person qualified to be an emperor?

The result also proved this point, Li Zicheng, who was ruthless to the common people, finally died in a very dramatic way at the hands of several peasants.

This can really be said to be, people are doing it, the sky is watching, it's not that they don't report it, but it's not timely, once the time comes, it will kill you immediately.

"General Ma, have the displaced people in the city been resettled now? how many have found a way to live, and how many are still displaced. Lin Ze asked.

"My lord, this ......." Ma Ziqiang's face turned red directly.

"Please forgive me, my lord, I am incompetent, and I have not found a way out of life for the displaced people in the city, all the displaced people are still in the city, and there are not many people settled. After speaking, Ma Ziqiang lowered his head with a guilty face.

"Alas......." Lin Ze sighed in his heart, but he was not disappointed, because, not only in the Chu State, but even in ancient China, the government placed the most displaced people in the soup porridge or something, and in the end they would still send them away.

As for these displaced people finding new outlets, they are very few.

"General Ma, this can't be done, now that the spring ploughing has passed, how will they live in the second half of the year and next year? Lin Ze asked directly.

It's already summer now, and spring plowing has long passed, so these displaced people can only be helped by the government now, but there is always a head to this kind of relief, as long as they don't find a way out for these displaced people, they will die sooner or later.

Ma Ziqiang obviously knew this, so he couldn't say anything about Lin Ze's words.

"This ...... My lord, it's okay for you to let the lowly position fight, but thinking about these problems is really not the strength of the lowly position, so, my lord, the lowly position is waiting for your order now, and wait for the deployment. Ma Ziqiang replied with a single person, and he came up with a look of Lin Ze as the leader.

Lin Ze was amused for a while, but Lin Ze didn't say anything about him, because Lin Ze didn't expect anything from him.

As a general, Ma Ziqiang can do what he is now, which is already good, and it is indeed difficult for him to find a way out for these homeless people.

What's more, when Lin Ze came to see Ma Ziqiang, he actually fought for the purpose of recruiting him, and now that Ma Ziqiang took the initiative to send it to the door, it is strange that Lin Ze is unhappy, where will Ma Ziqiang be blamed.

"Ma Ziqiang, how is the situation of the wasteland around the Left Acropolis?" Lin Ze asked about the situation of the fields around the Left Acropolis.

Most of the displaced people are farmers, so as long as there is enough land, they can be resettled.

"My lord, don't think about this, the land within a hundred miles around the Left Acropolis is the land of those generals before the Left Acropolis, so ......." Ma Ziqiang shrugged and said.

"Well, it seems that it is impossible to resettle these homeless people around the Left Acropolis. Lin Ze muttered to himself.

"In this way, Ma Ziqiang, you start organizing those homeless people now, let's go to Huangsha Town!" Lin Ze said directly.

"Huangsha Town, this ........." Ma Ziqiang hesitated a little, and couldn't help asking: "My lord, Huangsha Town is a desert area, and there is no land there. ”

"Who said that there is no land there, General Ben was the chief soldier of Huangsha Town before, and since I arrived in Huangsha Town, I have opened up more than 100,000 acres of land. Lin Ze said proudly.

"My lord, is this true?" asked Ma Ziqiang in disbelief.

He had been to Huangsha Town three times before, and he knew the situation there very well, and now he really didn't believe that it would become so good.

"Hehe, Ma Ziqiang, Huangsha Town is indeed a semi-desert area, as if it is not suitable for farming, but he can't plant the land, just because of the lack of water, in fact, about two or three meters below the sand, it is still fertile black soil, and I'm very embarrassed, General Ben has a good skill in his hand, that is, it can easily locate groundwater.

Huangsha Town is short of water, but there is no shortage of groundwater resources, and it is even very rich, plus the tens of thousands of fire-armored cattle prepared by the general can be used as ploughing cattle, it is not difficult to open up land around Huangsha Town, as long as there are enough manpower, not to mention 100,000 mu, even if it is a million mu of land, it can be opened up. ”

"Hiss........." Ma Ziqiang gasped, he really couldn't imagine that Lin Ze's ability was so strong, and he actually carved out land in the desert.

Regarding Lin Ze's words, Ma Ziqiang immediately believed it, because such a thing could not be hidden, as long as Ma Ziqiang asked, he would immediately know that this thing was not true, so he believed that Lin Ze would not deceive him.

"If you really want to have this million acres of land, then you can really solve the livelihood of these 500,000 homeless people, my lord is really amazing!" Ma Ziqiang was completely conquered by Lin Ze in his heart.

In his opinion, it is a big problem to solve the problem of vitality for these more than 500,000 displaced people, but it was solved so simply by Lin Ze, from this moment on, Ma Ziqiang really surrendered to Lin Ze.

(One million acres of land, even if it is evenly distributed, these 500,000 displaced people have two acres each, and with two acres of land, they can't starve to death, not to mention, there are still a large number of people who can go to work in Lin Ze's factory.) )

"My lord, after hearing that you had eliminated more than 500,000 sand thieves and completely solved the border troubles in the west, I was thinking in my heart how good it would be if I were your subordinate, so that the lowly position could also show his strength.

Now the adult has made the humble job a headache for countless days, and the humble post no longer knows what to say, but I hope to serve the dogs and horses under the hands of the adult in the future, please accept the humble job!!"

After speaking, Ma Ziqiang stood up very solemnly and knelt on the ground.

At this time, Ma Ziqiang's heartbeat was very intense.

Just like when the scores of the college entrance examination are checked, the mood of those candidates is very apprehensive and very exciting!
