The road was muddy, and when you stepped down, the entire soles of your feet were almost submerged in the mixture of snow and mud, and the clean clothes were covered with specks of mud before long. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the new displaced people who fled arrived in Taiping City, they were given new settlements, but because the better places in Taiping City had basically been occupied by the first phase of displaced people, they could only settle in a slightly farther place. This is the case in mountainous areas, where it is very difficult to find a place to live and produce.

According to the tradition of Taiping City, these roads to Taiping City must be built by these villages themselves, and these new displaced people naturally do not have this ability now.

After walking on the dirt road for about an hour, the target finally came into view.

Hundreds of thatched huts are scattered on a flat land in the mountains, and all but this settlement is covered with a thick layer of snow.

"After the beginning of spring, is there a suitable field for farming?" Stopping, Qin Feng looked at the village not far away, and turned back to ask Ge Qingsheng.

"General, these places have been surveyed by the Taiping City Government this year, and the village in front of you is enough to accommodate two to three hundred people, there is enough land to cultivate, and more importantly, there is water." Ge Qingsheng replied: "As soon as spring begins, as soon as the snow melts, the wasteland can be cultivated, although it is a raw land, but the leaves have accumulated and rotted for many years, the land is fertile enough, and in a year, they will be enough to feed themselves." However, this year, it still needs help from the city. ”

Qin Feng nodded, "You are very solid in your work, how many new fugitive homeless people have arrived in the second half of this year?" ”

"More than five thousand." Ge Qingsheng said.

"Next, the area around Taiping City will temporarily stop accepting new displaced people." Qin Feng said suddenly.

"Huh?" Ge Qingsheng didn't react for a while.

took a deep breath: "Accepting new displaced people means that we have to bear an extra expense, these more than 5,000 people have to support for a year, which is not a small expense, and next year, our Taiping Army is afraid to usher in a new pass, there will definitely be continuous wars, food reserves must be sufficient, as soon as the war starts, the money will be spent like flowing water!" ”

"But the homeless people will continue to flee, and the new arrivals are their benchmarks, who doesn't want to live a peaceful life? Are we going to sit idly by when they come? Ge Qingsheng asked in a low voice.

"It's still in charge, if there are new homeless people coming, send them to the Taiping Iron Mine!" Qin Feng thought for a while: "Next year, I estimate that Taiping Iron Mine will definitely lack manpower in a short period of time, and a large number of people from the former Changyang County who have completed their sentences will definitely leave because of homesickness, and before they come back, the production of Taiping Iron Mine must not be relaxed." Because next year we will definitely need more iron. ”

"They're gone, will they come back?" Ge Yansheng smiled bitterly.

"When they find out that life in Changyang County is far less profitable than in Taiping Iron Mine, they will definitely come back." Qin Feng stepped forward, "People go to high places, and water flows to low places." Changyang County will definitely not be able to develop in a short period of time, and the people there will flow to Shayang County. ”

"But this will overburden Shayang County." Ge Qingsheng followed Qin Feng's pace, "Too many displaced people are not a good thing for local security, and the capacity of Taiping Iron Mine is also limited." At the other end of Changyang County, you still have to find a way! ”

"Of course, I'm worried about the selection of the county guard of Changyang County now, the military management is only a temporary means, and when Mo Luo is completely finished, Changyang County will enter normal order, but I haven't found a suitable person yet. Would Lord Ge be interested in going there? ”

Hearing Qin Feng say this, Ge Qingsheng was startled, and shook his head again and again: "Ge is only a shallow learner, I don't dare to try that place, I'm not for myself, I'm afraid that I will do things badly, and when the time comes, I will miss the general's big thing." ”

Qin Feng laughed, "I can't let you go if you want to!" Although Taiping City is beginning to take shape, the expansion is still continuing, so many new displaced people have to be resettled, and there can be no problems with the docking of Taiping Iron Mine, these are what you have been doing, how can you get started with another person for a while? Next year will be our most critical year, I will go out to fight in all directions, and there must not be a single problem in the nest. ”

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Ge Qingsheng suddenly became a little inexplicably moved: "Don't worry, general, I will definitely run the general's nest well." After saying that, I felt that something was wrong there, but when I thought about it left and right, I really didn't figure out what was wrong.

The village is not large, and there are about 100 villagers who have fled from the village, all gathered on the snow in front of the village at this moment. The whole village is fenced off, which is the only protection measure for this village, after all, it is in the deep mountains, even in winter, it cannot be ruled out that there will be fierce beasts and the like, but not all fierce beasts hibernat.

As Qin Feng and the others approached, more than 100 people knelt down in unison, some were silent, some kowtowed, and some shouted thanks, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

"Hurry up, everybody." Qin Feng took a step forward and said loudly, seeing that these people were still kneeling on the ground, he waved his hand, and the horse monkey and other guards behind him trotted over and pulled a group of people up one by one.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Qin Feng smiled with a smile on his face: "No matter where you come from, since you have arrived in Taiping City, they are our brothers and sisters, from now on, you don't have to worry about freezing and starving, because we Taiping Army will help you." When spring begins, Taiping City will send you seeds and cattle to plough here, so that you can live and work here in peace and contentment, and multiply. ”

The crowd cheered, and many people knelt down and kowtowed.

For these people, being able to eat enough and live in peace is the biggest begging. They are quite satisfied to be able to go from the original precariousness to the current temporary shelter.

Before they arrived in Taiping City, they still had doubts, but after arriving here, they realized that the original rumors were true, and the government had divided the territory for them, built them thatched huts, and sent food and cotton clothes so that they could survive this difficult winter.

The person who is here today is the supreme leader of the Taiping Army, the legendary General Qin, and his words have reassured these homeless people.

As long as there is land, they can survive. As long as they are diligent, they can live better and better, and during the days when they came here, the government also organized them to visit some homeless villages that arrived here in advance, and some even found their fellow villagers, and saw that those who came first were living a prosperous life, and everyone's heart was hot.

There was no oppression, no heavy taxes, and the peaceful world that I had only heard about in storytellers before still existed in this world.

Surrounded by everyone into the village, in the simple thatched hut, the temperature inside and outside is the same, even if the firewood is burned, it still can't add much temperature, fortunately, everyone still has cotton clothes and quilts, these are all issued to them by the city, although they are all old, but they are uniform style of military supplies, naturally they are all good things.

"Where did you get so many quilts?" Qin Feng was a little curious, he had always asked about these things.

"Isn't Lufeng's miners' battalion officially established? They changed the military uniforms and other supplies of the official field barracks, and we collected these eliminated things, washed and dried them, and stored them in the warehouse. Ge Qingsheng said.

"You've got a good idea." Qin Feng smiled and pointed to these thatched huts: "What about the house?" You can't let them live in a thatched hut all the time, can you? ”

"General, I have thought of a way, now those displaced villages who arrived here in advance have had a good life in the past two years, and have earned a lot of money, and I am ready to let them come to a counterpart to help, and a village to help a village, and if they have the money to contribute, they will help them build their houses. All the raw materials are available here and it doesn't cost much. In this way, it not only makes the city less ****, but also increases the feelings between these people, right? Neighbors in the big hometown, keep going to help each other! ”

Listening to Ge Qingsheng's words, Qin Feng laughed, "You have a good idea, so try to do it here first, if it is done well, it can be fully promoted." ”

Being able to do things well without spending the government's money, such a good thing, Qin Feng naturally wants to do as much as possible. This Ge Qingsheng's brain is really not ordinary flexibility, in the past two years, relying on Taiping City, the people in the surrounding villages have lived a very nourishing life, farming when they are busy, and they come to Taiping City to work when they are free, and they have some spare money in their pockets for a year. If they can come up with some good deeds and form a routine, it will be of great benefit to deal with these things in the future.

Coming out of the village, the sky was already dark, looking back at this humble village, the light of the torches was exposed from the cracks in the thatched hut, today Qin Feng came here to inspect, Ge Qingsheng specially transferred some white noodles from the treasury, and some meat was sent here, so that these homeless people could eat a meal of dumplings, which was also a kind of grace from Qin Feng. For such a thing, Qin Feng felt that it didn't matter, for him, the important thing was to let these people settle down, and the most important thing was to become the cornerstone of the Taiping Army in the future, this is not something that can be solved by a good meal, but to have continuous policy support, so that they can really take root here, as long as they take root, sprout and blossom, they will not miss their hometown, but regard this place as their real home, only in this way can the foundation of the Taiping Army be more solid.
