Chapter 950 Qi Ke's Order Meeting ([-])
Qi Ke witnessed with his own eyes the aura of a first-rank general in the imperial court turning his face as soon as he said it, and the pitiful look of Bai Qing who was being trained at that moment, tsk tsk, like a bullied little milk dog.

"The tide of refugees is moving, and people will stay behind or keep up with them along the way. The exact number of people who will eventually arrive outside Donglin County is unknown at present, but we can first calculate how much manpower and resources it will take to complete the dredging of the river as quickly as possible." Grain, first calculate a reference number, and then make adjustments according to the actual situation, do the work in front, and don't be too busy when things come to an end." Qi Ke rubbed his chin and said.

General Bai and Bai Qing nodded silently, the general was full of admiration for Qi Ke, while Bai Qing followed Qi Ke's suggestion and began to make preliminary calculations in his heart.

Once Qi Ke's train of thought was opened, it was difficult to close it. After giving Bai Qing some advice, she followed this train of thought to think about other things.

"Master Qian."

"Ok?"

"I remember the land of the workshop. The actual scope you bought includes a connected mountain?"

"That's right, the mountain is still deserted, the yamen is half sold and half given away, and the soil layer in the place where the mudslides have been washed away is unstable, and it comes here from time to time. For so many years, few trees have grown. I see the height of the mountain. It’s okay to agree, and I’m going to keep it for training soldiers.”

"Okay, let's make use of that mountain."

"You want to open up wasteland? But the soil is not stable."

"If the soil is unstable, you can plant some plants with well-developed root systems that can stabilize the soil. What a waste to just use it for soldiers to run around."

"Do you have that many people?"

"Among the refugees, there are all kinds of people, men, women, and children. The men go to dredge the river, the old people weave baskets and sacks to earn money, and the women also have to have a place to eat. Let them go to the mountains to open up wasteland. After working all winter, people with good morals are basically We can also pick them out, and choose volunteers to sign death contracts to add female workers to the factory."

"Hey, you have a way, sure." Bai Qing's eyes lit up, and he agreed immediately.

The men among the refugees are hated wherever they go, because they can't consume these strong labors, and the strong men who have nothing to do will only fight, fight, steal, rob, and rape when they gather together. Women are different. However, they do not endanger the society and do not disrupt public order. If many women come to Donglin County, they will surely attract many people to work hard if they know that there is still a chance to stay as female workers after land reclamation.

"The men dredging the river can also be selected in the same way after finishing their work. I will write to village chief Jia to ask if he wants someone to repair the warehouse. If he wants someone, the reliable ones he picks out can be sent there." Qi Ke continued Said that she has a lot of work under her command, and she can digest and absorb some of the refugees, but not all of them, and the resettlement of the refugees still depends on the local officials.

"Yes, this is a good way." General Bai smiled and was full of praise, "When the refugees have a stable job, their hearts will be stable and they will not make trouble. After all, the majority of the refugees are timid and fearful. If we have what they lack, we will give it to them. If there are outstanding performers, it is also possible for Bai Jiajun to guarantee their settlement and naturalization."

"Liangshui Town is so desolate and needs a large population. It's a way to lure refugees there, but I don't know what the attitude of the local government is." Bai Qing rolled his eyes, not optimistic about the ruling ability of the local county lord.
