66 The outcasts gathered
The next day, everyone went to their respective homes according to the discussion in the evening, and then they didn't know how Li De and Zhang Chong negotiated with Wu Yongkang, anyway, after a long time, Wu Yongkang personally poured tea and water for Li De and Zhang Chong with a satisfied smile, but judging from Li De's faces, there was no heaviness, and it seemed that Wu Yongkang's conditions were also acceptable to everyone. It's okay to do this, so that everyone won't be hurt and angry.
Early in the morning of the third day, Wu Yongkang and Li De took a few people to the direction of the county government, while Gan Xingzhi dispatched a team of more than a dozen people with weapons to patrol outside the village every day, while Wu Juren still went out to sea with a boatload of people to fish, and the movement in the village was still not big, and everyone was still doing their own work as usual.
However, after Zhang Chong negotiated privately with them, all the young and strong women joined in helping to build houses and roads, leaving only a few elderly people to take care of the children, in exchange for a day's rations.
The days passed like this, and sure enough, gradually began to have signs of homeless people appearing or disappearing outside the village, fortunately, now there are mostly some scattered people, the patrol team in accordance with Zhang Chong's earlier explained conditions, the personnel were screened, and the people who did not meet the requirements were driven away by them after sending one or two catches according to the head, as for what they will do in the future, I'm sorry, I can only ask for more blessings.
Even if the other party kowtowed and begged bitterly, he couldn't impress this group of Haikou who had long been accustomed to life and death, and finally had no choice but to leave. Looking at the distant figure, the people of Chen Village felt compassion but also more happiness, and they worked more and more attentively.
Although Li Tianyang sympathized with the other party and had the heart to help, it was a pity that there was no way to make decisions in these matters, and at the same time, he also knew that this was also a last resort and a helpless move, so he could only persuade Li De and others to send some catches and do his best. As for the grain, it has long been strictly guarded by Li De and his people, and they have to register it as soon as they enter and leave.
Six or seven days later, Li De and the others rushed back from the county government, and at the same time, they were accompanied by more than a dozen full grain trucks and the officials who accompanied them. Originally, according to the government's standards, only the truly homeless could receive relief, that is to say, only displaced people who have been lingering in important places such as the county government for a long time will receive relief, not like Wu Yongkang and others today, who only went to more than ten people to bring back so much food.
This is the saying that money can make the devil grind, and the more disaster the year, the more these government officials will make a fortune and make money. As the so-called mountain is high and the emperor is far away, what is the disaster, and the geometry of the victims, all of them are in a chapter of the county order, and the knowledge in a piece of paper and ink is too big, filled in by the county order, and no one really came down to investigate. As for the victims who really need relief, they are either deducted from their rations or bought as slaves by large families.
Relying on Wu Yongkang's relationship, Li De and the others worked up and down in the county, spent nearly 300 taels of silver, and got this full of nearly 40,000 catties, that is, more than 200 stone of grain. In fact, compared to the price of food on weekdays, it is a little higher, but now, it is cost-effective to get these grains at such a price. It is impossible for everyone to spend more than a month in a city like Quanzhou to buy food at this time, who knows what kind of situation will happen at home during this time!
Seeing the truckload of grain loaded into the warehouse, the villagers were also full of joy, just in the middle of the old saying that there is grain in the warehouse, and they don't panic! It's just that these grains have to be distributed to the old fox for nearly one-third, after all, he also paid a hundred taels of silver and his own relationship, isn't he ready to hoard some grain, and then find an opportunity to sell it at a high price?
With more than 20,000 catties of grain, plus tens of thousands of catties of grain in the original warehouse, it can finally support everyone for a long time, and Li De and others can also calmly cope with the arrival of refugees.
Even after screening, the village has received nearly 100 refugees in the past few days, and the scale of refugees has become larger and larger as time goes by. From being alone at the beginning, to the current scale of dozens of people, it has also brought difficulties to everyone's containment and management. As long as there is a large flow of refugees, there will be more conflicts, some of them use their strength to oppress the weak, some take the opportunity to rape women, and more of them fight for a mouthful of food, so that a group of pirates who maintain order are so busy that they can only continue to draw manpower from the villagers!
Originally, these things should be under the jurisdiction of the government, and a guy like Li De has no experience in accepting refugees, so how can he know how to manage refugees. Fortunately, since the Ming Dynasty, there have been many famous books on how to manage and provide relief to the victims, although these erections are considered forbidden books and are not accessible to ordinary readers. But thanks to today's technology and culture, as long as there is a market and useful things, some people dare to risk the production and sale of private, as a scholar from Shaoxing, Zhang Chong is fortunate to spend such books, but he has come up with many plans to help the refugees establish order.
Although there are still occasional traitors, it is much better than at the beginning.
Li Tianyang and the others also have a job, and now every literate among them will take two partners to go around the refugees, ask for household registration, and establish a register. Originally, these were all government affairs, and Li Tianyang and them were taboo to do so, but unfortunately the mountains are high and the roads are far away, who would be bored and come here to ask for the guilt?
For those who are sick, they directly isolate him from everyone for treatment to prevent an epidemic. What I didn't expect was that the girl named Yumo of the Chen family could also read and break words, although I didn't know the specifics, but just that handwriting with a brush threw Li Tianyang and others to 108,000 miles. Now she is also involved with her good sister Furong, after all, there are really not many people in the village who can read and write, otherwise even a semi-literate guy like Wang Decai will be pulled out.
It took nearly three days for the teenagers to complete the registration of the people, and relying on these booklets, Li De and Zhang Chong once again divided the displaced people into four camps, and disorganized the distribution of the displaced people in each village on a household basis. Originally, according to their intentions, they wanted to divide the people from the same village together, so that everyone would be familiar with it and save everyone a lot of trouble, but Li Tianyang interjected in the middle, explained the pros and cons of scattered resettlement to Zhang Chong and the others, and finally persuaded Li De and the others to disperse the displaced people, and the distance between each camp was dozens of zhang. As a result, the village needs to be supervised by more manpower, but it also makes things like stealing chickens and dogs much less.
