Chapter 958: The Pressure Brought by the Displaced People
Wang Can and Li Ru walked around the city and found nothing.
In the city, there are porridge sheds specially opened by the government, and Chengdu is becoming more and more prosperous under the governance of Wang Can, and it is impossible for displaced people to pour into the city in large numbers.
After leaving the city, Wang Can had his soldiers drive to the surrounding villages.
Because the road was slippery, the speed of the journey was slow.
After Wang Can and his entourage left the north gate, they started from the village in the north, made a big circle, and finally returned to the north gate. This lap went down, and an afternoon passed.
At this time, Wang Can's expression was solemn, and there was no relaxed expression on his face.
When he went out of the city, Wang Can knew that there were homeless people outside the city, because it was inevitable, and he was prepared for this in his heart, but when he really walked around the mountain village, he would find that the thatched huts were full of trembling homeless people, and the number of people was really too many to count.
Faced with such a situation, how could Wang Can's mood be relaxed?
Whether it is Wang Can himself, or the civil and military forces under Wang Can, or other princes, they all think that Yizhou is rich and prosperous, and it is a pure land of peace and happiness, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
After Wang Can walked carefully, he found that this was not the case.
The situation is very grim and does not allow for optimism.
The carriage stopped outside the city, and the atmosphere in the carriage became solemn.
Wang Can took a deep breath and ordered, "Go back to the palace!" ”
Suddenly, the horses threw off their hooves and ran, and after entering the city, they ran towards the palace. Along the way, Wang Can and Li Ru did not speak, and it can be said that they were speechless for each other.
Li Ru was sitting precariously with an expressionless face.
Wang Can lowered his head slightly, falling into deep thought.
After returning to the palace, the two guests and hosts sat down.
Wang Can looked up at Li Ru and asked, "Wen You, do you know the situation outside the city?" ”
When Li Ru heard this, his expression changed greatly.
He hurriedly got up from his seat, walked to the center of the main hall, knelt on the ground and said, "On the way home from my humble duties, I saw a few homeless people in the city with hot porridge to drink, and my heart moved, and I suddenly wanted to see the situation outside the city. Then he went to the surrounding areas outside the city and walked around, and found that the situation was very serious, so he specially rushed to find the lord, wanting to attract the attention of the lord and increase efforts to control the homeless people. It is not good to do things in a humble position, please surrender the lord! ”
Li Ru was a little apprehensive in his heart, thinking that Wang Can was going to investigate the affairs of the displaced people.
The gathering of displaced people is not a trivial matter, and it must be done with caution.
Although there are many displaced people across the country, it is also very common, but such a situation has occurred in Yizhou, which has a lot of pressure on Yizhou. If it is not handled well, it will also have an impact on the local people.
Wang Can walked to Li Ru's side, stretched out his hand to hold Li Ru, and said with a smile: "What a crime, get up!" ”
After the two sat down, Wang Can said: "Tell me carefully, why are there so many displaced people in Yizhou?" ”
"Goo!"
As he spoke, Wang Can's stomach growled, which seemed very abrupt in the hall.
Wang Can stretched out his hand and touched his stomach, and said, "After walking all afternoon, I haven't even eaten lunch, Wenyou should be hungry, let's eat first, and then talk about this matter when we are full." If this matter is not resolved, this year will not be good. ”
"No!"
Li Ru nodded in response, with a hint of excitement on his face.
What an honor it is to be able to dine with Wang Can.
Wang Can has always eaten quickly, this is his own habit. When Wang Can finished eating, Li Ru was still chewing slowly, which can also see the difference between Li Ru as an ancient person.
Those who are soldiers have no spare time to chew and swallow slowly.
Li Ru saw Wang Can put down his chopsticks, and hurriedly put down his chopsticks, he was a courtier, so he couldn't let Wang Can wait!
Wang Can waved his hand and said, "You eat first, and then continue to discuss the affairs of the displaced people when you are full." ”
"Thank you, my lord!"
Li Ru hugged his fists in thanks, and his face showed gratitude.
A quarter of an hour later, the two returned to the side hall.
After Li Ru sat down, he said slowly: "This year, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the north fought in Guandu, Liu Bei used troops against Nanyang, Cao Cao attacked Yuzhou and Yangzhou in the second half of the year, plus Jiangdong Sun Wu and Liu Biao also had friction from time to time, General Gan led the naval army to gradually expand, often fighting with Sun Wu, and all parts of the world can be said to be full of beacons. ”
"The more wars, the more displaced people."
"But there was no war in Yizhou, even if the lord used troops abroad, the battlefield was in Liangzhou and Nanyang County, and the people of Yizhou were not affected. In this way, the people of the world think that Yizhou is a pure land, carefree, and do not have to worry about war, so many people have migrated and want to live in Yizhou. ”
"Along the way, many people have become homeless."
"Some people's families are ruined; Some people died halfway; Some people have become robbers......"
"After people from all over the world arrived in Chengdu, it was already approaching the end of the year. At this time, there was no land for them to cultivate, and they had no source of livelihood, coupled with the cold weather, more and more people were silted up and could not evacuate. As time went on, more and more people were displaced, and the pressure on Yizhou increased. ”
Li Ru's expression was solemn and he said; "Yizhou is indeed prosperous and rich, and the people have surplus food at home, but the people will not generously give their surplus grain to the displaced people, so the displaced people are displaced people after all, and it cannot be solved."
Wang Can asked, "There are so many displaced people, what do you think?" ”
Li Ru immediately replied: "My lord, the army can support some people, and I think that I can select strong or young people to join the army, let them become soldiers, and relieve some of the pressure." The rest of the old, weak, women and children can only open warehouses to release grain, let them survive this cold winter, and then measure the land in the next year, and give a part to the displaced people, so that they can stabilize. ”
Wang Can shook his head and said: "This can't be done, the pressure is too great, even if Yizhou is rich, it will be dragged down." ”
Immediately, Wang Can said: "There is still a big thing to do next year, and when the time comes, we will use troops against Jingzhou, if there is not enough food and money to support it, it will have an impact on next year." ”
Li Ru said: "My lord, the situation of the displaced people is not only in Yizhou, but also in Liangzhou and Nanyang County, and it is the case in all states in the world. ”
Wang Can said: "I was thinking about this all the way and thinking of ways to relieve the pressure. ”
Li Ru's spirits perked up, and he hugged his fists and said, "Please make it public!" ”
Wang Can said unhurriedly: "We are going to use troops in Jingzhou next year, and we definitely need to re-recruit troops, so the suggestion you put forward is the first one, to select the young and middle-aged people among the displaced people, let them enlist in the army, so that they can support themselves, and they can also have military pay to support their families, this is the first one." ”
"Second, all displaced people must be registered, and this matter must be dealt with, so as to ensure that the displaced people are not chaotic, and that land will be allocated in the coming year."
"Third, this is the most important one, for all displaced people, implement the method of cash-for-work. In layman's terms, it is to let them pay for labor, and let them exchange labor for money and food. After the selection of the first one, most of the people left behind must be old, weak, sick and disabled, but they can be allowed to comb the rivers and lakes, build roads, build houses, etc., anyway, they can use people, and it is a light work, and they are all unified for the displaced people everywhere to do. Although things like building roads and combing rivers won't be useful in the short term, they will be beneficial in the future. ”
"Fourth, we must handle the relationship between the government and the displaced people, there can be no arrogant and domineering officials, and there can be no oppression of the displaced people.
Wang Can said four suggestions in one breath, and continued: "The household department is responsible for the affairs of the displaced people, and you can also brainstorm and think of other ways to relieve pressure on the basis of these. You are responsible for specific things, you are the head of the household department, and you are in charge of the livelihood matters of Yizhou, Liangzhou and Nanyang County, and you have to worry a lot. ”
"No!"
Li Ru replied with a fist and agreed.
Wang Can's opinions already have a general framework. After he returned, he would convene his staff officials to determine a specific implementation plan, which would certainly alleviate the pressure brought by the displaced people to the greatest extent.
After the two discussed the countermeasures, it was already dark.
Li Ru left, and Wang Can also returned to the harem to continue the big thing.
