I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 189, Zhang Baiqi's Ledger

It's just that Xu Wei's troubles are serious. Xu Wei, the previous victims, was resettled nearby. Except for the victims of various work, the entire Taiyuan County resettled about 50 victims.There is still a lot of wasteland on both sides of the Fen River in Xihe County that has not been reclaimed. Xu Wei arranged for 30 people to reclaim it.

These 80 victims filled the entire Taiyuan County and Xihe County. It is not impossible to continue reclamation in other places, but most of them are mountainous areas. Not to mention the difficulty of reclamation, and the harvest is not high!
After Xu Wei's logging team cut down trees to build tracks and houses, they arranged for people to plant various fruit tree seedlings.After a few years, these fruits can be sold, and it can also reduce the number of canned fruit factories to sell to herders who lack vitamins. The industrial chain has also been extended. In short, Xu Wei has experienced more extended industrial chains and more placements for workers!

Coal and steel industries are rare in Taiyuan County. Xu Wei asked Niu Laohan to bring the elites of Mayi Iron and Steel Plant to Taiyuan County to build a steel plant ten times larger than Mayi Iron and Steel Plant.The iron and steel plant alone needs more than 3 workers. In a word, there is no way to resettle the disaster victims in agriculture, so they need to be resettled in industry, so that the people can get employment opportunities as much as possible.

Xu Wei thought that the maximum number of people who came to Bingzhou was about 100-200 million people, most of Taiyuan County and Xihe County occupied by Guangxin could be resettled, and hundreds of thousands of people could be resettled in other places. The problem of refugees would not be solved.

So after Xihe County and Taiyuan County were full of resettlement, Xu Wei let the refugees continue to go north. Yanmen County had no land for reclamation, but the handicraft industry was developed, and it could even be said to be the most developed area on the planet.

Xu Wei also asked the various workshops in Mayi to recruit workers as much as possible, and each workshop recruited one-tenth of the placement ratio. At the same time, Xu Wei also contacted Zhen An, who opened a textile factory in Mayi, to reduce taxes and help They borrowed money to expand their workshops, etc., and asked them to recruit more victims. Although Yanmen County has a large population, it should not be a problem to resettle 50 victims. In this way, the problem of victims will not be solved.

But Xu Wei didn't expect that there would be so many victims, and after Bingzhou received millions of people, it still didn't decrease. Instead, the population of each person entered soared to 10 people per day!Judging from the current situation, there are at least 500-600 million victims in Dahan!
This caught Xu Wei a little off guard. Yanmen County, Taiyuan County and Xihe County were overcrowded after resettling millions of disaster victims. The only way to continue resettling victims was in the sparsely populated Hetao County.

There is a lot of land in Hetao that can be reclaimed. Xu Wei has now issued an order with Wang Lei, Zhao Rong and Niu Gui, asking them to find a way to resettle millions of refugees in each county!
After accepting millions of refugees, Zhang Baiqi persuaded Xu Wei to stop, because the current number of refugees is the most beneficial to the Tengjia Army, which can increase the strength of the Tengjia Army without affecting the subsequent development of the Tengjia Army.And if it continues to increase, it will be too much pressure on the Fujiko army.

Zhang Baiqi settled accounts for Xu Wei: "Because of the sudden increase of refugees and the lack of land, we arranged a large number of refugees to become construction workers and asked them to build roads, tracks, and resettlement houses for refugees from all over the world. These alone cost a billion dollars now. , This is still in the nearby places like Taiyuan County and Xihe County.

To really relocate the victims to Shuofang County, which is almost 3000 miles away, and the relocation of more than one million victims and the farming of Hetao will cost about 50 billion yuan.Wuyuan County may be a little less, but it costs about 40 billion yuan, and Yunzhong County is the least, but it is estimated to cost more than 30 billion yuan.

Moreover, the population of these counties and counties has increased, and the number of soldiers protecting them will increase correspondingly. Now, 5000 people in the first battalion are obviously not enough. These soldiers spend more than 4 billion more a year.It is conservatively estimated that we will fill in 2 billion for disaster relief this year.This is equivalent to 6 years of taxation by the imperial court. Even our Mayi can be considered rich for two years, but Qu Shuai is not enough even if all the savings of the entire Tengjia Army are exhausted! "

Xu Wei earns a lot, but also spends a lot. It costs more than tens of billions of money to build Mayi into what it is now. In addition, he buys a large amount of grain from the tribe every year, and Mayi has a surplus of 3000 million shi of grain. , even the purchase price is worth 30 billion yuan, so Mayi’s financial balance is not very large, only about 50 billion yuan. If it weren’t for the fact that most of the victims have a stutter, Mayi would not be able to complete such a large project even if it went bankrupt. !
But Xu Wei smiled and said: "Not all of them need to spend money. At least for the millions of victims of reclamation, we only need to spend some food and farm tools to let them get through this year, and next year they can support themselves alone. There are hundreds of thousands of refugees living in Shangjun, and there are almost 300 million refugees who only need food and don't need to spend money.

We in Mayi have the help of various chemical fertilizers, and the yield per mu is generally 2-3 times that of other places in Dahan. As long as half of the refugees here can farm, it is enough to feed all the refugees. Desolate, with nothing but a few small counties, we can militarize the rest of the victims, let them become the infrastructure army, and build roads, tracks, houses, city walls, water conservancy facilities, etc. throughout Bingzhou, as long as we have money, I'm afraid they won't be able to find a job!Now we have only accommodated more than 100 million refugees. Don’t underestimate the potential of Bingzhou. According to our plan, everyone works hard. The entire Bingzhou can accommodate more than 500 million disaster victims! "

Zhang Baiqi was dizzy when he heard the shock, and he said for a long time: "Qu Shuai, if you really want to play like you, I am afraid that our Mayi's 3000 million shi food will be consumed. Qu Shuai really wants to make our Mayi Bankrupt!"

He still heard the word bankruptcy from Xu Wei. He thought that the Tengjia Army could save more than one billion yuan in healthy finances every year. to the top of their own heads.

Compared with money, Zhang Baiqi pays more attention to the production of food. Now it is obvious that the world is in chaos. Even if you have money, you can’t buy food. So Zhang Baiqi doesn’t care if you run out of money, but Zhang Baiqi eats up food. About to jump up.

"Qu Shuai, you are drinking poison to quench your thirst. Bingzhou can only accommodate a maximum of 200 million people. Now that we have saved millions of people, no one in the world can point at us! To continue to accept refugees will exceed the capabilities of our Tengjia Army Qu Shuai spent all his money and still can’t shake the foundation of our Tengjia Army. If there is no food, not only will Bingzhou be in chaos, but even our Tengjia Army will be in chaos!”

Xu Wei sighed and said: "This year, the flood of the Yellow River created millions of refugees. If we don't save them, these people will not survive this winter due to the corruption of the big man. These victims have nowhere to go. They left their homes and came to Bingzhou , It is because our Tengjia Army gave these victims hope to survive. In order to survive, they have embarked on the road of moving north. If their road is cut off now, it is not letting them die!

"Zimeng, when you rebelled with the great virtuous teacher, didn't you just want the low-level people of the big man to survive, why do you have to cut off the livelihood of these millions of refugees now!"

Zhang Baiqi calmly said: "It is because I saw the failure of the great virtuous teacher that I know the strength of the big man. We can't quickly improve our strength. When the big man calms down, the only ones who will be defeated will be hundreds of people from our Tengjia army." Thousands of people.

Compared with these refugees, I want to protect the safety of these millions of people.Accepting 100 million refugees can speed up the development of our Tengjia Army. If we accept more than 300 million refugees, our Tengjia Army will definitely fall into a period of stagnation for several years. If we accept more than 500 million refugees, not only will our entire Bingzhou be in chaos, but even Our Rattan Army will also be affected! "

"The big man wants us to accept their burden now! Qu Shuai, don't want us to fight the big Han court much, but the court attaches great importance to us. There are more than 20 elites around Bingzhou. As long as we show our flaws, the court will definitely It will hit us with a thunderbolt, and then kill us all."

"We can't just follow in the footsteps of the Han court. They are unable to accept the victims and rush to our Bingzhou. We want to prevent the victims from continuing to Bingzhou. Qushuai, I also know that saying this is very cruel to the victims who have not entered Bingzhou, but If we don’t do this, we will be cruel to our own people, and if the disaster victims in Bingzhou continue to grow like this, we will drag our Tengjia army to death!”

Xu Wei said: "Zimeng, you are too conservative in your estimates. Human potential is infinite. If you don't force yourself, you don't know how capable you are. I think these 500 million refugees coming to Mayi will not delay our rattan armor. The development of the army will also become a boost to the growth of our rattan armor army!"

Xu Wei vaguely felt that Emperor Ling died in the past two years. Xu Wei often played "Three Kingdoms". He remembered that the Yellow Turban Uprising was in 184 AD, and it was 190 years since the feudal lords sought Dong. He died within 5 years, and Xu Wei remembers that it has been almost five years since he came to this world, that is to say, in less than a year, Emperor Ling will die, and the world will be in chaos. It will be much better.

Unlike the 5 troops of Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, the 10 troops of Liu Bei in Jizhou, and the 6 troops of Dong Zhuo in Shangdang.Although the big man has not formally attacked the Rattan Armor Army, his defense against the Rattan Armor Army is not low at all!

Isn't it just 500 million disaster victims? After Lingdi died, the princes were busy dealing with Dong Zhuo. If they only robbed Youzhou or Jizhou, how many refugees could not be resettled!

Is the whole Dahan population very large now?It's only a population of [-] to [-] million. Compared with the big man's land, it is obviously very vast and sparsely populated!

Zhang Baiqi hesitated and said: "Shuai Qu, you want to arm them to become our vanguard against the big man? Are you going to start an all-out attack on the big man?"

He thought that Xu Wei wanted to recruit cannon fodder, and officially planned to start an all-out war with the big man!As long as there is a war, not only will people die, but if they occupy a new territory, they can also kill the nobles and nobles to reap a sum of money and food, and they can also divide the fields and land to resettle the refugees!This seems to be the only way to solve the excessive disaster victims in Bingzhou.

Xu Wei said helplessly: "It's almost autumn harvest now, how can there be a war, should we live through next year!"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Xu Wei, Zhang Baiqi said helplessly: "Shuai Qu, why don't we summon the high-level officials of Mayi to discuss how to deal with the refugees?"

Xu Wei thought about it, and knew that the differences within the Tengjia Army should be unified, so he agreed!
Ten days later, except for Wang Lei who was too far away, the other high-level Mayi leaders gathered in Taiyuan County, and the Taishou Mansion held a high-level meeting of the entire Tengjia Army!
As a supporter, Zhang Baiqi told everyone about the situation that the Tengjia Army is facing now, and told everyone that the number of disaster victims entering Bingzhou has exceeded 200 million, and this number is still increasing!For every extra day of delay, Mayi will take care of 10 more victims!
The old man Wang said strangely: "There is nothing to discuss, of course it is to save people. A few years ago, our life was worse than these disaster victims. Now that everyone is living a good life, it has become the kind of people we hated back then. For rich and heartless people!"

The old man Niu also said, "Isn't it a reckless disregard for human life if we do this?"

Zhang Baiqi knew that Old Man Wang and Old Man Niu were kind-hearted, so he said: "Even if each of the two million people eats 10 shi of grain, it will take us 2000 million shi of grain in a year. If the number of disaster victims doubles, We don’t have enough food, and now there are more than 400-500 million victims in Dahan, I don’t agree with the treatment, I just want our Tengjia Army to do what we can!”

Xu Wei said: "The account is not calculated in this way. A year ago, we in Mayi could harvest 3000 million shi of grain. Now we occupy more than half of Bingzhou. Even though the water conservancy facilities have not been fully rolled out, the entire Bingzhou It is still possible to harvest more than 6000 million shi of grain in Bingzhou. Calculated on the basis of 10 shi, the grain in Bingzhou is enough to feed 600 million people, and our water conservancy facilities and chemical fertilizers are fully popularized in Bingzhou. The whole Bingzhou harvests 1.5 million shi of grain. It shouldn't be a problem! So the population of Bingzhou is far from the limit!"

Zhang Baiqi retorted: "Qu Shuai considered it the smoothest situation. What if there is a drought in Bingzhou? All our food has been given to the victims. What if we don't have any food in the disaster? The government of the city is well-connected and the people are harmonious, but other places in Dahan are constantly suffering from natural and man-made disasters, who can guarantee that natural disasters will not come to Bingzhou."

Old Man Wang and Old Man Niu immediately stopped talking. Although they were kind-hearted, they couldn't help these refugees by harming the interests of the Rattan Armor Army!

Niu Guidao: "It's not as exaggerated as Brother Zimeng said. I am looking at the construction of water conservancy facilities in Yunzhong County this year! Now the entire Yunzhong County has 300 million mu of irrigated land, and the growth of food is also very good. As long as there are no surprises, this year Yunzhong County Not only can Zhongjun be self-sufficient in food, but it can also take care of it and provide it to the herdsmen in the surrounding area. I am worried about the lack of labor every day, and many plans are difficult to implement. If Qu Shuai supports 500 million stones of grain and grass, I, Yunzhong County, can accept 100 million Refugees!"

Zhang Baiqi couldn't believe it and said: "Yunzhong County really has tens of millions of grains harvested this year?"

Does he know that Yunzhong County has always been poorer than Mayi, and there is not much food to grow, so they can only graze!
