"Hahaha, those refugees still want to rob us of our things, but there are no doors!"

"The patrol guards are overwhelmed by the seven cities, and it is easy to expel the refugees, isn't it just a matter of paying more taxes! If the refugees come to attack, our losses will only be more, I tell you, I have seen refugees before, and they ......."

"That's right, we must expel the victims who want to divide our land. ”

"Isn't it just repairing the city! ”

"I am willing to advance and retreat with the guards of the Acropolis of the Forest!

"Those who offend my Hengyang City will be punished. ”

......

Under the impetus of well-intentioned people, the voices of the people are developing in a good direction, and everyone is happily paying taxes and donating materials.

The crisis of Hengyang City and the efforts of the forest patrol guards were well known to the people in this war of public opinion and were supported by the people. In order to help the rangers, what is the amount of labor! Guarding the rangers is protecting themselves.

Anyway, this is to protect the people, so Ling Xiyue has no pressure to do such a thing.

"It's a genius to use this method to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people. Yun Xuan exclaimed.

The people of Hengyang City now know about the incident of the bandits slaughtering the village, and also know the efforts made by the forest patrol guards and the city guards to protect them, and they also have to work hard to build fortifications for self-protection.

Most city lords in Dongzhou have only two attitudes towards their people, oppression and protection, and the two are not in conflict.

They are not the city lords for the sake of the people, but for their own interests, so even if they protect the people, in the end, they are for the sake of the long flow of water and squeeze out more oil and water.

However, it is already a lucky thing for the people to have a city lord who is willing to go a long way, after all, such a city lord will not let them not live.

However, no one ever thought that they could do things on their own to protect themselves.

Every resident pays taxes, and the city guards have an obligation to protect them, and no city lord will ever say, I'm sorry, our city guards are limited in strength and can't protect you.

Such a city lord will be drowned in saliva. Even if you don't drown the castle lord, you will be squeezed dry by the surrounding castle because of your weakness.

Weakness is the greatest original sin.

However, Jiang Ming did just that, not only did he do this, but also made the people happily take the initiative to donate all kinds of extra materials one by one, and some people would run to comfort the city guards, so that they could feel the care from the people they guarded.

"The construction of the fortifications is very tiring, they are already very hard, and with the fatigue of the fortifications, they will not be able to last long. ”

Jiang Ming said gloomily, "And the despicability of human nature will not make them realize their mistakes, but will start to accuse the City Lord's Mansion of deceiving them, and then make trouble even more serious." ”

After Jiang Ming mentioned this, Yun Xuan found that this possibility was not impossible.

"I'm sure you have a way. "Ling Xiyue already has blind trust in Jiang Ming now.

Jiang Ming said: "Then go back to what you had to do at the beginning, accept refugees." They would not be able to bear the fatigue of building walls and various fortifications, but the refugees were different, after the defeat of the Seven Cities, many refugees were displaced, some became bandits, but many more could not even be bandits. ”

Yun Xu, Ling Xiyue, and Leng Lanying were all stunned, they were stunned by Jiang Ming's idea.

It is difficult to satisfy the inhabitants of the city, but to satisfy the refugees, it is enough to provide them with food, and to feed them, and to drive them to do anything.

Looking at their stunned expressions, Jiang Ming smiled and said, "This idea is actually very easy to think of, but only Hengyang City has the conditions to do it." ”

Refugees are easy to use, as long as they have food, but the reason why refugees appear in batches is because there is no food, which is an irreconcilable contradiction.

There are also some city lords who will take in some refugees from other cities, but the resources of a city are limited, and if a part is given to the refugees, it is necessary to reduce the share of some of the original residents.

In addition, if the news of taking in refugees spreads, then a large number of refugees will swarm and crowd the city, and if they don't want to be overwhelmed by the refugee flow, they will have to wave a butcher's knife at them. Only then will the previous efforts be in vain.

Now Hengyang City is rich in materials and has a rich life, of course, it has the spare capacity to accept some refugees, but the long-standing concept makes the residents who have lived in the city for a long time extremely reject them.

Now, with the first two notices as foreshadowing, the third notice can be posted.

[The people of Hengyang City work every day, the hard work is abnormal, and now the troubled times are coming, so they have to recruit people and build fortifications, just to ensure the safety of one party.

Today's staff offered: You can recruit refugees as people to build fortifications in our city, and you only need to give them food and clothing. In this way, the people of the city can be exempted from the suffering of forced labor.

If there are refugees who have made outstanding contributions to the fortifications of our city, they can settle in our city, and hope that the whole people will supervise them. 】

As soon as the notice came out, the city rejoiced again.

Now even the labor is exempted, and the labor of the refugees is directly exchanged for goods and materials, and the dirty work is left to them to do, so that the cost they pay can be minimized.

As for the refugees who have behaved well, if they have really contributed enough, then it is not unacceptable to accept them.

"I don't know which of the city lord's staff came up with the plan, but this plan is really good. ”

"That's right, we don't have to do anything superfluous, we just leave everything to the refugees. Aren't they going to eat? What we have is eating. ”

"But wouldn't it be ...... to let refugees join us?"

"We exchanged a little food for them to repair the city wall, so what's wrong with letting the good ones join us?"

"Yes, we don't accept those who eat and wait for death, but only those who are diligent. ”

"Long live the city lord! Long live Hengyang City!"

"Shh

"Is there anyone who is well-informed and who knows which staff member is so smart?"

"The nephew's neighbor of the second aunt of my third aunt is on an errand in the City Lord's Mansion, and I heard that this idea was conceived by the uncle of the City Lord's Mansion. ”

"How can there be an uncle in the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Some time ago, the eldest lady was not preparing for a big wedding! As a result, she was interrupted by the attack from the Seven Cities, and the eldest lady wore a wedding dress and went to the battlefield in person, just to protect us!"

"Miss, a weak woman, actually made such a big sacrifice for us. ”

"The eldest lady is really a strange woman!"

......

Under the guidance of the City Lord's Mansion, the people of Hengyang City were grateful to the City Lord's Mansion, and even brought Jiang Ming and Ling Xiyue into thanks.

It's just that I don't know what's going on, in the end, what the people are most concerned about is actually the marriage of the eldest lady, and even the rumors of wearing a red wedding dress to the battlefield have come out, and Jiang Ming has been walking for several days to avoid the city lord Ling.
