Chapter 296: Internal and external difficulties, the policy of reassuring the people

"Childe, Childe!"

Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

Zhou Fencao panted and rushed to the county office: "Son, has the horse returned quickly? There are thousands of refugees coming to Jing County." ”

He had already gone to the countryside to escort Zhou Lizheng and his party through the streets. When he heard the news of the influx of refugees, he immediately ordered everyone to return to the city and meet Chen Sanlang as soon as possible.

What a refugee is, it can be called a flood beast, and it is extremely tricky. The slightest mishandling can lead to catastrophic disasters.

Originally, there were checkpoints on the border of Yangzhou, guarded by soldiers and armor, and a large number of refugees were not allowed to enter the country at the same time. It's just that somehow, so many refugees have appeared in Jing County, and I am afraid that there must have been an accident on the border. Suddenly, I thought that the Yangzhou border was in charge of Hu Weiwei, could it be that he was instructed by Yuan Wenchang and did it deliberately?

First there was Shuraism, and then there were refugee groups, and this was the step to put Chen Saburo to death.

The means of the superior are to turn their hands into clouds and cover their hands for rain, only in a thought, and they have a poisonous heart.

In the hall, Chen Sanlang sighed. In the past, Yangzhou's attitude was actually quite restrained, except for sending Mo Xuanyi to disguise himself as a thief, there was no other move. But now wave after wave, it is almost impossible to directly let Hu Weiwei enter Jing County.

Of course, if the affairs between the Shura Sect and the refugees are not dealt with properly, I believe that the banner of Hu Weiwei will soon appear outside the city.

It can be seen from this that Yuan Wenchang has become more and more impatient, he wants to completely control the entire Yangzhou, and never allow such a foreign place as Jing County to continue to exist.

Zhou Fencao couldn't help but say again: "Childe, the refugees will soon be in the city." The decision had to be made early. ”

"Sir, what do you think you should do?"

"There are too many thousands of people, and we can't afford to accept them in Jing County. According to my plan. People should be sent out of the city, they should be diverted, and some of them should be diverted to other counties, or go directly to Nanyang Province. ”

Chen Sanlang touched his chin and smiled bitterly: "When the refugee tide comes, there are people behind it who are instructed and driven, but I am afraid that there are also ears, eyes and masters in the refugee group." How will they do what we want?"

Zhou Fencao gritted his teeth and said: "If the persuasion is ineffective, then kill the chickens and monkeys, so as not to kill some people to demonstrate and expel them." ”

Chen Sanlang sighed: "That can easily inspire a popular uprising. When the people are in an uproar and out of control, do you want to kill them all?"

Zhou Fencao's face turned pale, and the people changed. It was the most terrible situation facing politicians. As Chen Saburo said. You can't kill them all, besides, even if you want to kill them, it's thousands of people, and the Jing County government plus the soldiers, plus the soldiers of Chenjiazhuang, it's just a few hundred. If you fight, you may not be able to calm the scene.

Moreover. The most important thing is to kill the people, which is too serious. It's so heavy that Chen Sanlang can't afford it at all.

Once the knife is stained with blood, Chen Sanlang's reputation will be in vain, and it will be irretrievable.

The root of man is only the name and the instrument.

Why did Yuan Wenchang never get rid of Chen Sanlang head-on, wasn't it because of the name of the imperial court? If he really made up his mind to do the opposite, he would only be able to step on the iron horse, but he gave an order.

"However, it is not possible to let refugees into the city, so what should we do?"

Jing County is only how big it is, how many people it is, and it has been flooded by thousands of refugees, and the land that cannot stand is gone, and it cannot be managed at all.

Rao is Zhou Fencao is calm-hearted, and in the face of such a situation, he also feels helpless and has nothing to do.

"Knock knock!"

Drums were beating outside.

A servant came in a panic and said: "My lord, there are a lot of villagers and elders outside, and they are very emotional, and they want to meet your lordship." ”

Zhou Fencao stomped his feet and said: "They must have come to persuade Gongzi to close the city gate and not allow refugees to enter the city." ”

When refugees enter the city, local residents bear the brunt and suffer greatly. But if the city gate is closed and the refugees are outside the city, how long can it be blocked? Jing County is just a small city, and the city walls are low, and it is an exaggeration to say that you can climb up by temporarily cutting down some trees to make a simple ladder.

When the refugees have nowhere to go, nothing to fill their stomachs, and someone is secretly fanning the flames, I am afraid that they will directly break open the city gate and rush into the city.

"Childe, you can't go outside, it's better not to come out and be sleepy inside. ”

Chen Sanlang smiled: "This level can't be avoided, it's okay, I'll go tell you." ”

Stepping out of the county office, he spoke loudly, nothing more than reassuring people's hearts, and promised that he would not let refugees into the city.

After the promise was promised, the fathers and elders dispersed.

Zhou Fencao's face was worried: "Son, refugees are not allowed to enter the city, and they cannot be diverted, but how to resettle." ”

Chen Sanlang said with a straight face: "Then let them go to Chenjiazhuang." ”

"Chenjiazhuang?"

Zhou Fencao was stunned for a moment, he understood that although Gongzi was sitting in the county government, the most critical foundation was undoubtedly on the side of Chenjiazhuang, which was unshakable, and he hesitated at the moment: "Although the land on the side of Chenjiazhuang is vast and sparsely populated, and thousands of people can be accommodated, but so many people have to eat and drink every day, and the consumption is amazing, where can they afford it?"

With a population of several thousand, it is very scary to eat every day, even during this time, under the instruction of Chen Sanlang, Zhou Hezhi and others have been asking for food everywhere, but they have not bought too much. Such a small stock is basically used for emergency preparation, and if it is taken out to provide food and drink for the refugees, it will only be a few days' rations, and it will be difficult to sustain it.

And what about after that?

The urgent need was solved, but the butt burned again, and it was not a solution after all.

Chen Sanlang said slowly: "In fact, there has always been a lack of population in the village, and there is a shortage of people to open up wasteland, cultivate, and recruit soldiers. ”

Zhou Fencao smiled bitterly: "This is true, it would be nothing if there were a few hundred people, but now it is a few thousand." Once you accept it, you have to take care of everything after eating, drinking, and Lazar, how can you manage it?"

Chen Sanlang waved his hand: "The soldiers will block, the water will cover the soil, if you can't manage it, you have to take care of it, maybe, it will be an opportunity." ”

Zhou Fencao rubbed his hands, had to obey the order, left quickly, and went out to arrange.

......

Nanyang Mansion, the city gate opened, the sound of horses' hooves was urgent, and the pedestrians hurriedly dodged, the sound of soldiers rose, and a team of soldiers went out of the city in a neat and orderly manner. At the front of the team, a flag fluttered in the wind, and the logo of the tiger was bright and dazzling.

This is the armor of the Tiger Guard, and there are five hundred of them.

"What's the matter, so many tiger guards are out of the city?"

"Did the barbarians really have to fight?"

"Shhh, don't talk nonsense, I heard that they went to Jing County. ”

"Jing County, what's wrong with Jing County?"

"I don't know, it seems that there are thousands of refugees making trouble over there......"

"I see......"

The low voices of discussion, spoken from the houses on both sides, slowly lowered and could no longer be heard. (To be continued.) )
