Chapter 160: The Refugee Wave is not a big deal either
Chapter 160: The Refugee Wave is not a big deal either
Chen Xie will not care about the matter of grabbing the land, and there are many things to do.
After dividing the territory, Dengzhou City did not stop because of this. The refugees from Liaodong who stayed in the north and east of the city were densely packed in simple shacks. That's tens of thousands of people, and if you don't handle it properly, something big will happen.
Sun Yuanhua had a headache, he didn't have any good ideas, so he had to find Zhang Yao and Song Yi to discuss. Zhang Yao was not polite at all, as a local head snake, he replied directly: "Sick!" Song Yi pinched his nose and had to go into battle alone, he was not Zhang Yao, he was not a local snake, and he didn't dare to resist Shangguan.
"As the prefect, Lord Song is duty-bound!" Sun Yuanhua is a technocrat but it does not mean that he will not be an official. After calling Song Yi over, he directly threw the task to him, and it didn't matter how to deal with the governor.
Song Yi was angry, but he didn't have a temper at all, unless he quit and hung up the seal. The problem is that he can't bear this official, so he can only go back and think about it. According to the usual practice, the local wealthy merchants and gentry were gathered, money and grain were raised, and porridge sheds were opened, and when the situation was stable, these Liaodong refugees would naturally disperse.
The question is, Song Yi, the prefect who has just arrived, can the local rich businessmen and gentry give him face? After thinking about it, Song Yi thought of Chen Xie. The Admiral is now the richest man in the locality, and the most prestigious military attaché. Holding the barrel of a gun in one hand and the silver in the other, with his help, this matter is not a matter.
Ordinary military attachés, Song Yi can invite him over in the next post, but Chen Xie can't. He had to come to the door himself. There is one thing that Song Yi and Chen Xie don't know, and this matter is related to Cao Huachun. When Gonggong Cao went to announce the oracle, Chen Xie was rude a lot, and Cao Huachun suspected that Song Yi was making trouble, so he didn't mention the relevant etiquette in advance, and deliberately made Chen Xie make a fool of himself.
What is the truth? Song Yi didn't know Chen Xie's details before, and Chen Xie didn't let anyone be too rude to himself. Eunuch Cao was wishful thinking, and put effort into it to get Song Yi to Dengzhou, just thinking about letting Chen Xie toss Song Yi. First, it gave Chen Xie a chance to take revenge. The second is to return Chen Xie's favor. Thirty thousand taels of silver is not so easy to take. Whether the military attache is worthless or not, Cao Huachun is still worried about the pension money in the future, and only by doing a good job can there be continuous income.
All in all, Cao Huachun's flattering eyes were thrown to Chen Xie, a blind man. However, Chen Xie is very good at doing things. The Dragon Boat Festival just passed. Mo Tai, who remained in Jingshi, gave a gift to Cao Huachun's home outside the palace. And used a fashionable word: Bing Jing.
Song Yi didn't have many options. can only call the entourage and go to Zhangjiazhuang with the staff, when they go out of the city. I was surprised to see a large number of refugees walking in the direction of Zhangjiazhuang, what is the situation? And I also saw the iconic green military uniform, Chen Sihua's family team?
Song Yi hurriedly ordered to stop the sedan chair and let people inquire clearly. Soon the staff came back and brought a message that these people were craftsmen recruited by Chen Xie's workshop, and some were recruited by the engineering team.
"Turn around and go to the north of the city to the sea." The sedan chair immediately turned around, and soon saw a scene that brought tears to the eyes.
Dozens of cauldrons were erected at the scene, and 100 soldiers were responsible for maintaining order. There were many people holding bullhorns and shouting, "Blacksmith!" "Recruit a carpenter!" "Recruit a bricklayer!" The scene seemed to be very chaotic, and there were dozens of long queues, but in fact they were well organized.
The long line of refugees slowly moved forward, Song Yi's appearance did not cause panic, the refugees didn't even seem to have the strength to kneel, and countless numb eyes watched him walk to a table. The majesty of the government does not seem to have much influence at this moment. Song Yi felt that those numb eyes were like knives, and he might cut himself into pieces at any time.
The person in charge of the scene was a shopkeeper, and when he saw Song Yi, he stepped forward and saluted very politely. Song Yi asked, only to know that these were all the jobs that Chen Xie gave to the big shopkeepers of various workshops, recruiting people, preparing to expand production, and give refugees a way to live, so as not to get together and cause trouble.
Song Yi asked people to bring a chair, and he didn't leave, sitting at the scene and watching how they could get it. At this time, Song Yi's face was a little red, as if it was sunburned, but he was actually panicked. If you don't have the ability to solve the problem of refugees, just sit here and be a mascot to add a little credibility to Chen Xie's actions. The dignified prefect sits here, which is more useful than any propaganda.
"Name? Who? Age? How long have you been doing it......? The recorder asked a man, with a black face and a strong force.
"Du San, a native of Yongping, thirty-eight years old, has been a blacksmith for 20 years, and there is a mother-in-law and two babies at home, both of whom have come to Dengzhou."
The recorder quickly finished the record, handed him a sign and said: "Put away the sign, bring your family, go there to eat something first to cushion your strength, you have to walk for half a day." He sent this one away and shouted again: "Next." ”
Blacksmith Du San didn't leave in a hurry, but asked: "This master, my doll at home is sick, can you advance some money to get medicine first?" The clerk who recorded it was not angry, but said with a concerned expression: "Don't go to grab the medicine, delay the child's illness." See the red cross on a white background? Send the child over there, and you can see a doctor for free with this wooden sign. Hurry up! ”
Du San bowed vigorously, turned around and ran, in a low grass shed, the mother-in-law had a sad face, and a six- or seven-year-old child in her arms was asleep without crying or making trouble.
"Quick, quick, the child is saved." Du Sanyi stretched out his hand, picked up the sick child and ran, the wrinkled mother-in-law asked the older girl to follow, and cleaned up the only belongings in the straw shed by herself, a quilt, tied her back tightly and walked slowly.
When she arrived at the place of the white cloth and red cross, Mrs. Du saw a woman in a white coat who was treating her child. It turned out to be a female doctor, and her voice was very kind. "I had a high fever of thirty-nine degrees, and I immediately cooled down physically. Prepare a fever reducer, it is likely to be pneumonia, prepare for rescue ....... ”
At this time, Du San's body shook a few times, and he directly hit the ground with his buttocks. When the female doctor saw this, she immediately stood up and said, "You don't care, right? When he saw a wisp of bright red flowing out from under the reservoir tube, he exclaimed, "Don't you want to die?" Trauma without treatment? Someone, take him to take care of his wounds, this is a blacksmith, get the number plate. ”
A soldier picked up the gun, and then came over to help Du San and said, "Sit with that, don't move." ”
When Du San didn't know why, a young man was also wearing a white coat, helped him sit down on a stool, squatted in front of him and said, "I'll help you check the wound, and if it hurts, you have to endure it." ”
The wound was on the leg, and the young doctor took a look at it and said, "It's an arrow wound, it's already inflamed, and it needs surgery, can you endure the pain?" Du San nodded vigorously, and the young man hesitated for a moment and said, "Take a rope, tie the person to the pillar, and give him a wooden stick to bite." ”
Mrs. Du Sanniang was anxious on the side, watching her husband be tied to a wooden stake with a chair, and a swollen thigh-thick calf was set up on a low table. The two soldiers held down their thighs and didn't let them move, and the mother-in-law wanted to step forward, but was stopped by the doctor's words: "If you want to kill your man, just take him away." ”
The scalpel cut open the scarred wound, and a stream of pus and blood spurted out, and the prepared basin caught it. Du San's face was covered with cold sweat, his painful face was distorted, and he gritted his teeth and endured it.
The young doctor, who was dealing with the wound with an expressionless face, and when he cleaned it repeatedly, he explained to the woman next to him: "Prepare the infusion, record the medicine, penicillin ......." "There really wasn't any time to lose.
Half an hour later, Du San had already fainted in pain, and the young doctor completed the last procedure, put down the guy in his hand, and said to Du San's mother-in-law: "Count him lucky, the arrow is not poisonous, this life is saved by seven, and the remaining thirty percent depends on God." ”
After the operation, Du San was carried onto a four-wheeled carriage with a cloth canopy for shade. The woman in the white coat came over, looked at Du Sandao, who had woken up, and said, "Don't move your hands!" As he spoke, he hung the hanging bottle on the pole next to the car, and explained to him after giving him an infusion: "Count your luck, you are a blacksmith to be qualified to use such an expensive medicine." By the way, let your mother-in-law bring the child with me, there is meat porridge in the back, and I will feed you with some food. The child's fever is starting to subside, and whether he can be saved or not will have to wait until tomorrow. ”
When the mother-in-law came back with the meat porridge, Du San thought she was dreaming. The girl behind the mother-in-law washed her face and hands, holding a basin of white-flour steamed buns in her hand, swallowing her saliva vigorously.
"Dad, you eat, this is given by the big sister, a total of six steamed buns, I didn't eat a bite. My big sister gave me cookies, but they were delicious. ”
The mother-in-law shed tears on the side, took a spoon to feed Du San porridge, and muttered: "I met a nobleman, thanks to the child's father who learned blacksmithing back then." In this realm, the blacksmith is the most popular craftsman. I heard that a miracle doctor is the master, and his favorite craftsman works for him. Du San picked up a steamed bun, handed a big girl and said, "Eat." I can see that as long as you are willing to work hard for the master, this realm can live, as long as this life can be saved, there is hope for the future. ”
For a whole morning, Song Yi saw that these tens of thousands of refugees were really not a big problem in Chen Xie's hands. On this morning, at least 3,000 artisans were taken away. The 3,000 artisan households were followed by many family members, and there were probably thousands of soldiers at the scene this morning to maintain order. As long as someone makes trouble, they will immediately press it, and the slightest resistance is a bayonet stabbing it, without blinking an eye.
After sitting for a morning, there were more than a dozen corpses dragged. It's even simpler if you're not a craftsman, and there is a field opposite, which says that it is to recruit workers to do hard work, build roads, repair docks, farm, and need manpower everywhere.
According to the estimation of the people below, there are probably more than 30,000 refugees, and if this continues, it will not take a few days to deal with them. A big stone in Song Yi's heart fell to the ground, and he was very grateful to Chen Xie for this move. I want to know more about how Chen Xie resettles refugees. (To be continued......)
