After inspecting the resettlement of the camp and the situation at the soup kitchen, Lin Ze went directly to the silver vault in the left acropolis at the third stop.

When it comes to disaster relief, money always comes first.

With enough money, you can buy enough food, disaster relief materials, etc., so Lin Ze has to go to find out about the silver treasury in the left acropolis.

The left acropolis is a military town, therefore, the silver treasury situation here Lin Ze already has a bottom in his heart, and there should not be much silver.

However, after Lin Ze really opened the silver vault of the Left Acropolis, he looked at the empty silver vault in front of him, which could run mice, and he was speechless for a while, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

Although Lin Ze had long expected that there would not be much silver in the silver vault, what was going on with such an empty silver vault, Lin Ze was really speechless.

"Ziqiang, what's going on here? Why don't you have any silver coins. Lin Ze turned around and asked Ma Ziqiang.

Ma Ziqiang stood up and explained helplessly: "My lord, the silver treasury in the Left Acropolis was emptied by the Governor's Mansion after the displaced people began to settle here, in order to prevent the displaced people from rioting and endangering the safety of the silver treasury. ”

"Hehe......." Lin Ze also smiled helplessly.

This time, he agreed with the Governor's Palace's approach, after all, there were more than 500,000 homeless people here, and if they really rioted, the silver coins in the treasury would definitely not be saved.

The silver treasury was completely unexpected, and Lin Ze went to the armament warehouse of the Left Acropolis for the fourth stop.

It is different from the silver vault, there are a lot of military equipment in it, and the quality of these equipment is also good, Ma Ziqiang introduced, this is the reserve equipment of the White Elephant Legion.

Lin Ze didn't say much about this, anyway, Lin Ze couldn't look down on these equipment.

After turning around, Lin Ze frowned and returned to the yamen of the Commander's Mansion, and kept sighing in his heart, this is really a mess, a super mess, if he wants to make this mess, he has to spend a lot of effort, energy and money.

Back at the Yamen, after everyone had just sat down, Lin Ze directly turned around and asked Wang Ming: "Wang Ming, how to deal with those displaced people next, first tell me your opinion." ”

In the Left Acropolis, other things, such as Yu Mingming's affairs, can be put aside first, and the problem of the more than 500,000 displaced people here must be solved first, which is the top priority now.

Wang Ming didn't hesitate for a moment, and quickly said: "My lord, before answering this question, I will first ask my lord, how to deal with this left acropolis." ”

Ma Ziqiang, the commander of the Left Acropolis, is already loyal to Lin Ze, so it can be said that the Left Acropolis is Lin Ze's from now on, so Wang Ming has to ask Lin Ze about Lin Ze's disposal of the Left Acropolis, and then he can continue.

"Wang Ming knows my heart very well!" Lin Ze glanced at Wang Ming with admiring eyes.

"The Left Acropolis is now a territory for self-improvement, and this is a military fortress connecting Huangsha Town and Linsha City, such an important place, of course I will not give up. Although Lin Ze's words sounded like nothing, all the people present were smart people, and as soon as they heard Lin Ze's words, they knew that he would not give up the Left Acropolis, and for a long time to come, the Left Acropolis would become Lin Ze's outpost against the Governor's Palace.

"That's how it can be arranged. Wang Ming said with a relaxed face.

"For the displaced people here, in addition to a considerable part of them moving to Huangsha Town according to the previous arrangements of the adults, there is a part of us that we can follow the traditional practice of the Chu State, that is, the government funded the construction of roads and canals. The road from the Left Acropolis to Huangsha Town is very poor, and now that there are so many displaced people, it is time to repair this road well, so that if there is any danger in the Left Acropolis in the future, we can also support the Left Acropolis faster. Aren't adults often saying that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and now we will first repair the roads here in Zuo Acropolis and Huangsha Town. ”

Lin Ze nodded with satisfaction: "Wang Ming, this method of yours is feasible, indeed, if you want to get rich, build roads first, this is a wise saying!"

In fact, even if Wang Ming didn't suggest this, Lin Ze would start arranging the cultivation path.

It's just that the road cultivation arranged by Lin Ze is not only from Huangsha Town to Zuo Acropolis, but also the six main passages from Huangsha Town, and Lin Ze has to take a big rest.

Why?

The reason is simple, that is, the needs of industrial development.

Lin Ze was already preparing to develop Huangsha Town, Black Sand City, and Windwind City as industrial cities, and he would build a large number of factories in these cities.

These factories can not only house a large number of displaced people, but also produce a large number of products, such as toilet paper, toothpaste, toothbrushes, toffee and other extremely scarce items in the outside world.

Once the factory has produced these products, it needs to ship them out, and at this time, it needs to connect the roads to the outside.

The better the quality of the road, the faster the speed of transportation, for the factory, the speed of production will also be accelerated, the wages of workers will also rise, correspondingly, their consumption power will be greatly strengthened, of course, there will be more and more shops to meet the needs of workers, in the end, the business environment in the city will be better and better, the vitality of the city will be stronger and stronger.

The first condition for these things is that there is a need for smooth roads, and without smooth roads, the materials produced in the factories cannot be sold, so that the factories cannot be opened, or the operating efficiency of the factories is very low, resulting in the wages of the workers will not be high, their desire to consume will not be generated, and finally, the city will naturally not develop.

Lin Ze knew these things very well in his heart, so he had been calculating the construction of roads in his heart for a long time.

As for the cement and other things needed for cultivating the road, Lin Ze had already begun to arrange people to specialize in refining cement a few months earlier, that is, when he decided to build the Half Moon Valley Reservoir.

I believe that after returning to Huangsha Town this time, Lin Ze will be able to see the cement he needs.

Here, Lin Ze and Wang Ming set measures to use the cultivation path of the homeless, and immediately Ma Ziqiang stood up and put forward different opinions.

"But my lord, there is no money in the Left Acropolis, and with your relationship with the Governor's Palace, I believe that the Governor's Mansion will never give this money. Ma Ziqiang said worriedly.

"My lord, the Left Acropolis is just a military array, most of the people living in it are soldiers, and there are already people and shops related to the military, although these people and shops can provide some tax funds, but such ordinary people in the Left Acropolis are only more than 8,000 households, more than 40,000 people, and the annual tax is only about 100,000 silver coins at most, plus the taxes of these shops inside, a total of about 500,000 silver coins a year, these money still need to deal with the various expenses of the officials in the Left Acropolis, but it will be enough, and there will not be much balance at all。 ”

"In addition to the Qingzhou rebellion last year, the Zuo Acropolis added some military equipment here, and it cost a lot of money, and now there is indeed not much money in the Zuo Acropolis, and you have also seen the situation in the silver treasury, although it is half empty by the Governor's Palace, but even if there is no Governor's Palace, there is not much money in the silver treasury, only about 50,000 silver coins.

What's even worse is that the silver is about to be issued, and the 50,000 silver coins in the silver treasury are not enough for the amount of silver, so, my lord, we are now extremely short of money, and we really have no power to recruit displaced people to open up the road!"

Ma Ziqiang persuaded Lin Ze very sincerely, although he was only a general, but he also knew that it was an extremely expensive act to recruit homeless people to open up the road, and he didn't want Lin Ze to fall into the big trouble of lack of money.

Lin Ze smiled, and didn't immediately explain what was in it, but asked very calmly, "Then Ziqiang, how much money do you think it will take to implement this cultivation path plan?"

Lin Ze is preparing to test Ma Ziqiang's ability in government affairs this time, military talents, Lin Ze is not lacking now, what is lacking is government talents like Ma Ziqiang, who dare to work and take responsibility.

Ma Ziqiang just thought about it for a moment, and quickly replied: "Based on the calculation of recruiting 50,000 people to cultivate, I think at least 500,000 gold coins will be needed a year. ”

After saying this number, Ma Ziqiang looked at Lin Ze with a worried face, afraid that Lin Ze would be hit by this 'huge' number.

That's 500,000 gold coins, not 500,000 silver coins.

Such a large sum of money is an astronomical amount for the Zuo Acropolis and even for the Yamen of Linsha City.

Don't think that the state of Chu is very rich, just think that 500,000 gold coins are just a small amount of money.

Just like Yu Mingming, the third prince of the Governor's Mansion, in order to recruit Lin Ze, he directly gave a sky-high price of 30,000 gold coins in a Chinese New Year's Eve, and Yan Yucheng, the seventh prince of Kyoto, even directly lost to Lin Ze 10 million gold coins.

Compared with these two figures, 500,000 gold coins don't seem to be a lot of money, but don't forget the identities of Yu Mingliang and Yan Yucheng.

One of them is the third son of the governor, his mother is the county lord, and the other is directly the emperor's seventh prince, the identity of these two people is naturally much higher than many people, their fathers have a lot of money, control a continent, or a large part of the commerce of an entire country, so 500,000 gold coins are nothing to them.

However, this is only for individual people, and the people in the nine layers and nine in the Chu State are still very poor.

For example, ordinary people can have three or four gold coins a year, and they can guarantee a year's food.

There are three or four gold coins on one side and 500,000 gold coins on the other, is there a possibility of comparing the two?!

The answer is obvious, there is no possibility of comparing the two at all!
