Chapter 949 Qi Ke's Order Meeting ([-])
"How can Donglin County, a well-known barren county, attract aggressive outsiders?"

Qi Ke's eyes were still looking at Bai Qing's direction, but his eyes were erratic, already immersed in her own thoughts and talking to herself, Bai Qing scratched his head, knowing that Qi Ke could analyze what happened by himself. Relaxing from the tension, he grabbed a few pieces of chicken popcorn and threw them into his mouth under his father's disgusted eyes.

"Is there a wave of refugees moving in the direction of Donglin County?" It sounded like a question, but the tone was affirmative. She knew that the sea was calm, so the most likely direction could only be inland.

"This is the current observation." Bai Qing chewed the chicken popcorn without denying it, "but whether it will really come, no one knows."

"That's why it's just in case."

Qi Ke nodded clearly. If there is a wave of refugees moving, it is easy to understand Bai Qing's nervousness. The factory is outside the city, and the refugees can easily touch it. There are a large number of female workers, sufficient food, and a strong and warm building in the factory. It is indeed very easy to arouse the greed and ferocity of the refugees. As long as someone in the crowd instigates and provokes, riots will happen.

"You're not surprised at all?" Bai Qing belatedly realized that Qi Ke was not as nervous as he was, and his back was sweating, but Qi Ke still looked calm and calm, with his hands resting on the corner of the table. The posture didn't change a bit.

"Fortunately, when the wives of many low-ranking generals were guests with me, they mentioned to be careful when chatting with refugees. They heard that Donglin County had food swarming this year. The nervous thing about this is that the refugees, despite the number of It is huge, but it is scattered. When they are not moving, no one knows their movements. Now that they are indeed gathering and moving, there is nothing to be nervous about. Their every move has been closely observed. We have full control Time to prepare, no?"

"That's true."

General Bai interjected, and he watched the two young men with cold eyes. Qi Ke's relaxed sitting posture gave people a sense of reliability, anyway, he was more reliable than his son who seemed to have nails under his buttocks.

How can this work?There is no girl calm down in a dignified six-rank thousand household.

General Bai once again gave his son a disgusted look.

"I have already sent people back to the county with news, and I have to tell the Yamen to see how to divide the work and cooperate. I will also arrange for the soldiers to protect the factory and send them there before the start of work. Whether the refugees come or not will not affect our business." Bai Qing didn't receive any supercilious glances from his father, he only cared about the refugees and how he should defend himself.

"Where do they sleep? The factories are all women workers and no men's living quarters." Bai Qing sent troops to protect Qi Ke, of course welcome, but where to sleep is a big problem.

"Let them sleep in tents." Bai Qing didn't think there was any problem with letting his soldiers sleep in tents in the coming winter, "There are so many people in Qianhusuo, and they go in rotation. There are winter tents in the army. They used to be in the Northland , I can sleep well even when it’s knee-deep in heavy snow.”

"Okay, it's fine if you can bear it." Qi Ke flicked his fingers and had an idea in his mind, "We can't blindly defend the refugees and prevent them from entering the city. Let's not waste their manpower."

"You want to keep them to work? We don't know how many of them ended up outside the city yet."

"Master Qian, has the river in Qianhu's place started to be dredged?"

"It's started, hired man, do you want refugees to do it?"

"Can't manage too many people or is there not enough food?"

"It's okay to manage, and the root of the pig is enough to eat, but we can't verify the identity of the refugees. What if there are desperadoes who take the opportunity to sneak in, after all, it is the river channel of Qianhusuo, and the loopholes are too big."

"There are so many people in the Qianhusuo who can't defend the weak spots along the river, so you don't have to do it for the sixth-rank Qianhu." General Bai poured cold water on his son on the spot with an unhappy expression, "You can play tricks near the barracks. A quick death is the mercy of the Lord General."
