Chapter 87: Post-War Effects
Ye Chen ran wildly all the way, and finally arrived at Yejiabao in the afternoon of the next day.
The surface of Yejiabao has returned to calm, the gate is open, and the corpses outside have been disposed of, although the three trenches have been filled by the Wuhuan people, but they are not flat, and they are also filled in at this time.
Several low walls outside Yejiabao have not been demolished, if the Wuhuan people from other places come to take revenge, and the trenches come and dig, these low walls will take more time to build, and these low walls have a lot of passages, and they have not blocked the gate, which has almost no impact on Yejiabao.
After entering Yejiabao, the rows of tents were still there, and most of the people were still there, so I didn't see much less.
After entering Yejiabao, Ye Chen asked Tai Shici to help entertain Zhao Yun and Hua Ningxi, he went to Old Man Ye first, and Old Man Ye was fine, so he went straight to find Wu Xian.
"Young master, you're back." Wu Xian said with a sad face.
"Tell me what's going on now." Ye Chen already had a bottom in his heart, and he could bear no matter how bad the situation was.
"Young family master, our Ye family's business has been hit hard, this time I estimate that the next three months will definitely be greatly affected, and it will take half a year to recover."
Now the entire Youzhou has not calmed down, and the Wuhuan people in other counties are still poisoning, and Wu Xian is also calculated based on the news that Liaodong has reacted back in the past two days.
"There is no way to do this, if it really doesn't work, we will expand our business outward, and other places have not been affected, and there is still business to do."
"Let's not talk about it later, let's just say that now, many tenant farmers' homes have been destroyed, and before they moved out, our Ye family promised to help rebuild, and we saw that the reconstruction began, but our Ye family has no money." Wu Xian spread his hands out, indicating that there was no way.
"The money is okay for the time being, there are also seizures this time, give you 100 million, and get through the crisis for the time being." In fact, Ye Chen didn't have any good way at present, so he could only hold on first, after all, he had to give confidence to the people below, otherwise if something went wrong with him, the people below would not know what to do.
"Well, if there is 100 million, then the current reconstruction work can be completed, and the next step is spring plowing and spring sowing, this money is enough, but it is difficult to do the rest."
Wu Xian knew that Ye Chen still had to build weapons and armor, and he had to do many, many things, but Wu Xian could only tell him clearly that the Ye family had no money now, and he had to find a way to raise money by himself.
Of course, Ye Chen had to build weapons and armor, at least equipping all the five thousand guard battalions, but he knew that all the equipment would cost tens of millions of dollars.
"How are the tenants settled?" Ye Chen is still more concerned about these victims, and these people will be his foundation in the future.
"Young family master, those whose homes have not been destroyed have been let go back, and those whose homes have been destroyed still live in Yejiabao before they are rebuilt."
"This can't be done, Yejiabao is too crowded, and the construction of Yejiabao has not been completed yet, and the construction of Yejiabao will stop when they live in it." Originally, there were many houses, warehouses, and workshops to be built in Yejiabao, but now that the vacant land is occupied by the victims, how can Yejiabao be built.
"What can the young family master do?" Originally, these should be the things of Wu Xian, the general manager, but he knew that Ye Chen attached great importance to these people, otherwise he would not have spent a huge price to resettle the displaced people.
"Lend them the tent and let them go back and return it when the house is built."
"No, young master, this tent is not enough at all, in Yejiabao, they have many people living in one tent, if they are allowed to go back, then the family will have to send a tent, this tent is not enough at all."
Ye Chen ignored this point, men and women are separated in Yejiabao, there are more than ten or twenty people living in a tent, if they are allowed to go back, then it is impossible for them to live together, then one tent for a family is not enough, and now the Ye family has no extra tents, and it is far from enough to settle the displaced people in Yuxian County.
"In that case, squeeze out some tents and let some laborers go back, live together, build a house together, work day and night, and build the house as soon as possible, of course, the cost and materials will be paid by our Ye family."
"Well, that's okay, I'm sure they don't have any opinions."
"In addition, there is no danger outside Yejiabao, and the people in the fort will be moved to the open space outside Yejiabao, so that Yejiabao can be built."
"Well, good. However, there are few family owners, whether this construction will be done later, and our Ye family's economy is not rich at present. Wu Xian said with some embarrassment.
"You can't stop, you have to speed up, time is pressing."
Wu Xian didn't understand why Ye Chen said that time was pressing, as if something was urging him, he didn't understand it, he didn't dare to ask, he just looked at Ye Chen with some grievances.
"As for the money, the money over there in Luoyang has never asked them to transport it for more than a year, this time I will arrange someone to transport the profits over there, which can support it for a while, and I will find a way to find a way to get the rest of the money."
At present, Ye Chen can only demolish the east wall and make up the west wall first, but fortunately, the construction of various workshops has not been relaxed, and the output can be increased soon, and the Ye family will have more income at that time.
Whatever Ye Chen said, Wu Xian could only agree.
Liaodong slowly regained its calm, while other places were not so lucky, Jixian, Wuhuan people have been storming. Because this is the Youzhou Governor's Office, besieging this place can leave the entire Youzhou group leaderless, so that they have no chance to resist.
Therefore, Qiu Liju personally led tens of thousands of Wuhuan people to besiege Jixian County.
However, after all, Jixian County is the seat of state governance, the city wall is tall, the defense is strong, the Wuhuan people are not good at attacking the city, as long as the city has enough defense and dare to fight back, then the Wuhuan people have no choice.
In the end, in Youzhou, several large cities were surrounded and not beaten, and other places were miserable, and the sack of Wuhuan was very cruel and killed many people.
The Wuhuan people had enough of grabbing, captured a lot of prisoners, and were preparing to retreat.
The Wuhuan people withdrew one after another, and this time they were just to loot, and the entire Youzhou was devastated, and hundreds of thousands of displaced people were homeless.
And the imperial court, after the Wuhuan people withdrew, did not say anything special, and had no plans to send troops to the prairie, nor did they plan to provide disaster relief. Only those local officials, for the sake of face and in order not to be crowded by others, set up some porridge shacks and gave some porridge to the victims every day.
Many officials were also troubled by these many victims, so they wanted to bring disaster to the east, before the Ye family recruited displaced people in Liaodong, many people thought that it was thankless, for the sake of reputation, but no matter what, many officials wanted to use it.
I don't know who started to spread the news, the Ye family in Liaodong is taking in displaced people, as long as they go, they will provide food and shelter, and help restore production.
At this time, many displaced people went to Liaodong with their families in order to survive, and it was inevitable that they would encounter a large number of victims along the way, so they formed a larger team.
Those officials were also inspired to send the victims to Liaodong, and many of them gave them part of the rations for the sake of fame, so that they could eat on the road.
The victims stayed in the local area, and the local officials could not ignore it, even if they died, they had to be buried, and if they didn't care about anything, then the imperial court didn't mind sparing themselves, after all, an official had a pit, and he could sell one for money if he didn't get rid of one.
Now that the victims of the disaster are rushing to Liaodong, the Ye family has also received the news, and the officials of Liaodong have also received the news.
Although the officials in Liaodong were very reluctant to let the victims go to their side, they really didn't dare to openly stand up against it at this time, otherwise they would be sprayed to death by the Qinglius.
This Ye family can't object, although the pressure is huge, or if the hundreds of thousands of disaster victims come together, they can crush the Ye family, but the Ye family can't refuse, they can't let those disaster victims come and drive them away, or simply ignore them.
At this time, not only the officials in Liaodong panicked, but even Wu Xian and Bai Feng also felt great pressure. Originally, the Ye family of the victims in Liaodong still had the ability to take it, but with the disaster victims from other counties, even if there were more than 100,000 people in total, it was not something that the Ye family could take.
When Li Wei, the Taishou of Liaodong, received the news, he summoned several staff members.
"What can you do, if these hundreds of thousands of victims rush to our Liaodong, then it will be strange if nothing happens."
Originally, Li Wei was still very happy, because Liaodong was the first to relieve the harm of the Wuhuan people, and the losses suffered were not as serious as those of other counties, and the most important thing was that all the Wuhuan people who came to Liaodong were wiped out in Liaodong.
Although none of these were done by him, but by the Ye family, who is he and who is the Ye family. He is the Taishou of Liaodong, and the biggest credit for this must be his own, because the Ye family is not from the government, but just a businessman, and the credit has nothing to do with them.
What a big credit for nothing, who is not happy, but as soon as he heard that the victims of Youzhou were rushing here, then he felt a huge pressure, and if he didn't handle it well, he would lose his official position.
The merit of this great man is a merit, the fault is a fault, the credit is not many people will remember, when it is useful, it is remembered, when it is useless, there is merit and no merit, but if it is a fault, if people look at their own position, or see that they are unhappy, give a copy, then their own officials will be the end, or pay their own money to dredge and dredge.
"Lord Taishou, this is not easy to do, the key is that we can't oppose it yet, and even if we oppose it, no one will pay attention to it." A staff member said to Li Wei very embarrassed.
"Yes, this Ye family is really, recruit homeless people, recruit homeless people, and make such a move." Another aide complained that he said this no matter who helped Liaodong solve the Wuhuan crisis, and who helped Liaodong solve the problem of the victims.
"That's right, Lord Taishou, we can go and ask the Ye family, if the Ye family can accept these homeless people, then not only will there be no loss to us, but we can also gain a huge reputation."
As soon as this idea came out, Li Wei was moved, the key is still the Ye family, as long as the Ye family can be the big wrongdoer, he doesn't care.
