Chapter Ninety-Six: Displaced People Are Resources

"After removing the daily reports that the lord had accumulated in the past that needed to be reviewed, and then removing the reports of the recent days, as well as the plans and advice that were not very important, under the guidance of the teacher, after summarizing these reports, I found that the main problems were the following." Everyone sat down, and after Yun'er served fragrant tea, Yang Fu rubbed his eyes that were a little red, and opened his mouth to talk about these reported matters.

But Ma Chao almost didn't sit down: his father, he is really a professional pit son! I thought that there were a lot of affairs in Fufeng County during this time, and he couldn't handle it. I never thought that he had not reviewed all the previous reports......

"Good! Yishan, you are now in charge of the middle of the country, and you can be the master of those general reports and approvals in the future. And when it comes to what needs to be discussed, you can ask me again. Ma Chao glanced at Yang Fu, who was a little tired, again, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Although De Jong is a newcomer, he is proficient in affairs and knows political strategy, and in the future, Yishan can divide government affairs into De Rong; Zidu is the son of Fufeng County Shou, and the things before Fufeng rely on the ability of Zidu, if there is something wrong with Yishan, you can also find Zidu to discuss. ”

Although Fufeng County is only a county, there are a lot of general reports on weekdays. And even if it is very little, Ma Chao does not want his secretary or subordinates to be drowned in official business. As a result, Ma Chao saw that Yang Fu was tired, so he asked Yang Fu to find Zhang Ji, Meng Da and others to share some of it.

Ma Chao actually said this sentence very well: one is that he gave Yang Fu a certain amount of power when he came up, and he could deal with it with general reports. In this way, it is a recognition of Yang Fu's efforts and talents over time; Second, Ma Chao praised Zhang Ji and Meng Da in public, so that the two would not mind Yang Fu's requests and instructions in the future; Third, Zhang Ji was a newcomer and eager to show his talent, and he assigned tasks to him when he came up, which was a kind of trust and recognition for Zhang Ji.

Therefore, after Ma Chao's words, the three of them greeted each other, most of them were 'long admiration and long-term admiration', 'long-term hearing and long-term hearing', 'in the future, you still need to rely on Mr. Dacai', 'but there are orders never shirk' and the like.

In the past, Meng Da was actually cooking alone in the entire Fufeng County, and Ma Chao hired Yang Fu and Zhang Ji at this time, which was actually an act of decentralization for Meng Da.

But Ma Chao's decentralization is skillful, first of all, the financial power is still in the hands of Meng Da, and Meng Da's status will not be weakened because of this, but will be improved because of the addition of these people. After all, in any group, the status of the chief financial officer is very good; Secondly, out of those trivial matters of government affairs, Meng Da will be much easier, therefore, Meng Da does not have the slightest aversion to Ma Chao's arrangement, on the contrary, he may also pat his head: Why are you so stupid, you can't think of a way for the young master to be a senior shopkeeper?

For the division of labor and construction of the Ma family group in the future, Ma Chao also has a draft in his heart, that is to say, he has already had an idea about the political reform at the end of the Han Dynasty, but at present, he only needs to govern a county, and there is no need to reform with great fanfare, just fine-tune the responsibilities of his subordinates.

"After the matters reported by the county government are sorted out, most of them are as follows." After Yang Fu finished speaking, he continued: "First, the thieves are damaged, and they need to allocate manpower and financial resources to repair them. The second is ......"

"Slowly, from one to one, one by one." Ma Chao waved his hand to interrupt Yang Fu's report and began to solve political affairs for the first time: "How much property, manpower, and time will be needed in terms of the damage to the city wall, the repair of the streets, and the compensation of the people?" ”

"Lord Zidu has listed the details tomorrow, please take a look at ......the young master" Yang Fu immediately took out another bamboo slip from his hand, it seemed that he had been prepared for this matter.

"Zidu, the remnants of Fufeng County, can independently contract and improve this project?" Ma Chao doesn't want to look at those data, for him, the leader only needs to know how much money he has in his pocket, and how much money he needs to pay this time.

"Fufeng County is a rich county, and although there is a big war this time, it can also bear it independently." Speaking of these, Meng Da's voice is not low. In fact, if it were someone else, the tone couldn't be lowered: We have money in our pockets, what are we afraid of?!

"Good! is so rich, and it has something to do with Zidu's previous operations. Ma Chao also laughed, and then continued: "Zidu has been in Fufeng County for a long time, and he is also proficient in personnel, political affairs, and military affairs, so this matter will be handled by Zidu, and De Jong will assist him, what if?" ”

"Da Ding should do his best, and give the master a solid support." Meng Da accepted the order with emotion, and it seemed that he was very sure.

"Young master, now that he has passed the mango planting, he is in the agricultural season, and he is conscripted into labor, I am afraid that if he misses the agricultural time, the reputation of the Ma family will be harmed." Zhang was in charge of conscription in Feng Yijun, and when he heard Meng Da's assurance, he was anxious, regardless of whether he collided with his boss or not, so he spoke bluntly.

"De Jong doesn't have to worry too much, Fang Jindong thieves are in power, the people are not happy, there is a large influx of displaced people in Fufeng County, if these displaced people are not recruited, sooner or later they will gather into bandits, this conscription, I beat their idea." Meng Da heard that Zhang was worried about farming and opened his mouth to explain.

"Oh? How can such a thing happen? Ma Chao didn't know that there were still a large number of displaced people in his county.

"However, on top of the report, the second thing is this matter." Yang Fu said: "The Qiang people were affected by the disaster last year, and the young master went deep into the hinterland of the grassland, which made the Qiang people frightened and kept Fufeng County safe. However, there are also many Xiqiang tribes who have carried out small-scale looting in Liangzhou and Yongzhou. Those homeless people heard that the young lord was powerful, and the Qiang people did not dare to invade Fufeng County. As a result, most of the displaced people found Fufeng County. ”

"Well, Zidu, in Fufeng County, is there still ownerless land, or wasteland that needs to be cultivated?" Ma Chao knew that the reason why these homeless people went into exile in ancient times was because they had no land in their hands. In ancient times, the field was a more important property guarantee for the peasants than their lives.

"The fertile land of Fufeng County has long been owned, and most of them have been occupied by large households in the county. Only in the suburbs are there still large areas of wasteland that have not yet been cultivated, but those places are often plundered by the Qiang people, and no one dares to cultivate them......" Meng Da replied after hearing Ma Chao's inquiry.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the land annexation was serious, and Ma Chao could hear Meng Da's tone and guess that the fertile land in the county had already been carved up by some large households.

"Well, I know, I don't want to mention those big families for the time being." After Ma Chao listened, he already had a plan in his heart: "This conscription, if you don't recruit from the people of Fufeng County, Zidu can pay for those displaced people to come to serve." Taking this opportunity, you can also compile a book, since you heard that a certain reputation came to Fufeng, you must not let them go into exile again, let alone let them conflict with the local people in Fufeng, causing unnecessary trouble. ”

"Pay?!" Meng Da was a little surprised, and hurriedly said: "Since ancient times, dealing with the homeless, soup alms have been a great virtue, it is good not to drive them away, and the young master still has to pay for them to serve in the conscription?" ”

"However, according to the wages of private helpers, those who are young and skilled may pay four hundred dollars a month for food; If you are old and weak and have no skills, you can pay 200 yuan a month, and you can also include food. The price is at Mengda's discretion, and I only need to see an impregnable city wall and restored street shops. Ma Chao was determined to open up a precedent for capital employment in the late Han Dynasty: "If you go down, those who participate in the conscription this time can register and make a register, and in the future, they will be compiled into the register of Fufeng County, and they will be the people of Fufeng County." ”

"Young Master...... This time, it will cost a lot of money. Meng Da has a bitter face, as the chief financial officer, deducting money from him is no less than cutting his flesh.

Zhang Ji, Meng Da, Yang Fu, Han Feng and others all frowned and pondered, still considering its feasibility, only Jia Fox did not smile on his face, and he looked mysterious and self-aware. Seeing this, Yang Fu couldn't help but ask Jia Xu: "Teacher, what is the intention of the young master to do this time?" ”

"Displaced people...... Hehe, the homeless people are a large resource, and the young master has a far-reaching vision, which holds the hearts of the homeless, and in the future, Fufeng County will have less labor? In the longer term, which of these military affairs, political affairs, agricultural affairs, and even world affairs is not closely related to the displaced people? ”

Yang Fu suddenly woke up: This homeless person can be organized into the army, can be cultivated for the people, can serve as a servant, and even can spread a good reputation in the world, which is really an immeasurable resource......

But Ma Chao didn't think about this, his original intention in doing this was just to know that after the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the competition among the heroes, the population had decreased sharply and the four seas were barren: this homeless people, that is, capital, can't be wasted in vain!
