Chapter 541: Good idea
In the orderly construction of the first resettlement site, there was a small village by the lake, where 180 people lived, and even in the disaster year, they lived a stable and peaceful life.
However, after the arrival of a thousand victims, the peaceful life of the small village was shattered, and some panicked villagers thought that the village had entered the robbers, and took refuge in the nearby mountains and forests. However, after waiting in the mountains and forests for a long time, he found that the person who came had lived next to his village, and did not appear to have entered the village to rob.
In fact, this village is also very poor, even if it is robbed, it will not choose such a deserted village.
Ito was in charge of escorting the grain trucks at the end of the convoy, and by the time he saw the humble hamlet, many of the victims had already begun to cut down trees on the mountain.
Two or three hundred guards managed thousands of victims, it seemed orderly, the first to arrive at the disaster victims had already set up a porridge shed at the edge of the village, those young and powerful among the victims were selected in advance, under the leadership of the guards began to burn the wasteland and reclaim new land, everywhere was a heat wave rolling, billowing black smoke filled half of the sky, the scene looked grand and magnificent.
The victims seemed to have settled down in a day, and now there are no smiles on their faces, but the entire crowd is surprisingly calm.
Ito is also a person who has been crawling among the victims for a long time, how can he not understand the situation of the victims, and the only way to prevent the victims from making trouble is to feed their stomachs!
This is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, if there is enough food, is there still a need to let Zhen Qian come forward to preside over the overall situation?
Disaster relief is said to be tiring, but it is also a great credit, officialdom is to fight for connections, sometimes it also depends on the credit, this is like in the later generations of enterprises, some people are on the back of the ass, and some people are down-to-earth, such people are not less in any era.
Ito is a doer, who makes himself without the support of a big family behind him?
Because Ito knew how difficult it was to deal with the victims, he was surprised to see the rare order among the victims. If the livelihood of the 1,000 victims of the disaster is guaranteed to be maintained until after the beginning of spring next year, the food they need, even if it is the relief food made by Zhen Qian, will need about 1,000 stones, but the relief food brought by the convoy this time is less than 2,000 stones, and it is a miracle that it can last for a month.
Ito couldn't figure out what Zhen Qian was going to do? Does he want to leave a thousand victims here and leave them alone?
After settling down the grain truck, no one among the victims moved to rob the grain truck, which made Ito feel a lot more relieved, and now it seems that everything is fine!
Ito finally found Zhen Qian by the lake, Zhen Qian, who was dressed in coarse cloth and short clothes, looked inconspicuous among the victims, if it wasn't for the guards' reminders, it would be difficult for Ito to find the inconspicuous Zhen Qian in the crowd for a while.
"Greeting and sending envoys! Xiaguan can be regarded as having found you......", Ito panted and pushed away the crowd, but when he saw Zhen Qian, his throat seemed to be pinched all of a sudden, and Zhen Qian in front of him was actually standing on a raft tied with logs, barefoot, rolled up his trouser legs, wearing only a pair of calf nose pants on his body, completely lacking the solemn and majestic image in his mind, his skin was dark, beads of sweat were dripping on his forehead, and he was holding a long bamboo pole in his hand, but he looked a bit like Tian Shehan.
"It's ...... This is! ”
Ito was completely shocked by the image of Zhen Qian in front of him!
This is so close to the people!
"The judge is here!" When Zhen Qian saw Ito, he greeted him warmly, ignoring Ito, who was shocked, and pulled Ito onto onto the raft and said, "Look at how this raft is doing?" ”
"What is this?"
"Fishing, of course!" Zhen Qianyi looked at Ito with a fool's expression and said: "The fish and shrimp in this lake are about to become fine, go down the net, and if you are lucky, you can pull up 1,800 catties, if you add some miscellaneous grains and coarse grains, you can supply a thousand people to eat for many days, if there is any surplus, make salted fish and dried fish for emergencies!" ”
"I see!"
Ito didn't come to Zhen Qian to hear him talk about his fishing experience, and waited until Zhen Qian washed his hands and feet and put on his clothes by the lake, and then continued: "Greeting envoy, are we just going to stay here?" ”
"Judge, what do you recommend?"
"I'm ......!" Ito was speechless, and he slandered in his heart, the plan for disaster relief and locust control was formulated by Zhen Qian and Fujiwara Shuxiong, and he was just an executor, and he didn't dare to make any suggestions. However, since Zhen Qian asked, he said: "Ivan County was the most seriously affected, and the envoy was not in a hurry to rush to Ivan County to provide disaster relief here, wouldn't he put the cart before the horse?" ”
The corners of Zhen Gan's mouth curled slightly, and the smile on his face looked hypocritical in Ito's eyes, and he heard Zhen Gan's tone of voice with indifference: "Ivan County is indeed the most seriously affected, what does the judge think we can do in Ivan County at this time, is it to give porridge to save people, or to exterminate locusts and resume production, there are twenty or thirty thousand people waiting for relief, but where is the relief food in our hands?" The judge will not think that as long as we people appear in Ivan County, the disaster in Ivan County will be alleviated! ”
Ito was stammered by Zhen Qian's words, the entire Hizen country has more than 260,000 people, the area affected by the disaster has reached more than eighty percent, the population in need of relief has exceeded 200,000, and seventy or eighty thousand stone of grain is needed in a month, and the most grain that Hizen country can use for relief is only 100,000 stone, and after two months, there will be no more food to help the victims.
It is only August now, and there are still more than seven months to go until March next year, and Zhen Qian originally calculated that without five or six hundred thousand stone of grain, the country of Feiqian would not be able to survive this famine at all.
Ito was also driven by Fujiwara to get on the sedan chair, and he couldn't say that he was bitter in his heart, and on the bright side, the disaster relief was mainly based on Ito, but Ito had no food, no money, and no one in his hands, and he had to see Zhen Qian's face everywhere, and he was unwilling in his heart, but he didn't dare to say that he would do the disaster relief, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
Accompanied Zhen Qian to the big tent, from time to time a scribe caught up with Zhen Qian to ask for instructions, and gradually Ito heard some bright eyes, sat down in the big tent, took a sip of tea and said: "Welcome envoy, are you going to build a resettlement point here, can you tell the lower officials why this is?" ”
Zhen Qian took the towel handed over by the maidservant and wiped his face, sat down for a while, and said with a relaxed face: "The judge can also see it, yes, this official is preparing to build a resettlement point for disaster victims here, there will be many such resettlement points along the way, about forty or fifty miles to build one, how does the judge feel?" ”
Ito can see that the reason why Zhen Qian did not rush to Ivan County in a hurry is that he has already had a plan in his heart, this resettlement point is indeed good, and the construction of resettlement points along the way can not only collect some disaster victims and stabilize the mood of the disaster victims, but also provide security for future grain transportation like a post station, and the number of disaster victims that can be resettled in each resettlement point does not seem to be much, but there are many resettlement points, and there are many disaster victims who are resettled, and then let the disaster victims forage around, and the food required is much less than expected.
"What a great idea!"
