After the rebirth, the cannon fodder left the plot

Chapter 127 Resettlement of Refugees
But there is no way, the refugees are still gathering outside the city, and they have to find a way to solve it.The magistrate does not do personnel affairs, so he can't be like the magistrate, and drive these people to other places, right?
In the room, Gu Jin was on the kang looking at Xiao Youping who wanted to learn to walk but kept throwing his butt. Seeing Shen Jingcheng coming back with a dark face, he couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

"He actually asked me to solve the refugee issue by myself." Shen Jingcheng finished the prefect's reply letter.Pointing in the direction of Fucheng, full of dissatisfaction: "You said there is something wrong with him, who is he looking at and bullying?"

After hearing the magistrate's reply, Gu Jin also became very angry, but he also knew that being angry was useless, and there was no way for a senior official to crush someone to death.

"Then..., what do you think about letting those refugees build dams?" Gu Jin thought about the proposal he had thought about before: "Let's save the remaining tax and food for them, and I think they can eat a lot of it." In ten and a half months, the weather should be about to warm up by then, and when the river thaws and the river is opened, it should be almost the same when the river returns to the river."

Speaking of this, Gu Jin paused for a while, thought for a while and said: "Also, we can also let the people of the villages in our county build village protection dams around the village while it is not spring, so that even if there is a flood in the future, as long as the water potential If it’s not too big, the villages won’t be flooded, and these are their own affairs, we don’t need to feed them with food, and they don’t need to drag their families to the county town when there is a flood.”

Having said so much, the last sentence is actually the key point that Gu Jin wants to say.

The sudden gathering of so many people in the county is a great pressure for the residents of the county, and it is also a very troublesome thing for her and Shen Jingcheng. It is better to let these refugees continue to repair the dams, and the people in the villages can Go to build the village protection dam in your own village, which can not only solve the problem of refugees, but also solve the problem of refuge in each village when it encounters floods in the future.

Listening to Gu Jin's words, Shen Jingcheng's eyes lit up, and he felt suddenly enlightened.

"How did your brain grow?" Shen Jingcheng stepped forward to hug her in a strange way, his eyes were full of surprises: "Why are you so smart?"

Gu Jin had never been praised like this before, his face suddenly became hot, and he felt very embarrassed.

In fact, she really had selfish intentions, she just didn't want such a thing to happen again in the future, and she just didn't want to worry about it.

"If you think it's feasible, let's go to my husband to discuss a charter." Gu Jin raised his hand and slapped the hot face, and said, "I just thought of it temporarily, and I don't know if it's feasible. I have seen more and thought more deeply than me, and it would be better to plan well."

"Okay, let's go to find Mr. Jiang together." Shen Jingcheng felt relaxed all over, picked up Xiao Youping who fell down again, took the little cotton cloak next to him, and began to wrap him up with arms.

Xiao Youping knew that a pack of this stuff meant he was going out, so he was so happy that he couldn't stop drooling.

After Jiang Zhengshu heard the simple plan of the two, he looked at Gu Jin with some surprise.

He also didn't expect Gu Jin to come up with such a good idea.

It has to be said that this is a very good solution. It not only resettled the refugees, but also built dams, and also gave the villages a place to take refuge in the future.

Seeing that Jiang Zhengshu also felt that this was feasible, Gu Jin couldn't help laughing out of joy.

Suddenly, she felt that she was still very useful and could help the two of them.

Since Jiang Zhengshu also thought it was okay, several people began to discuss the detailed implementation method. Half a day later, Shen Jingcheng took the discussed plan booklet and went to order the yamen servants to start to follow the plan.

First of all, he asked the government servants who went to each village to inform the people to repair the village dam, and explained in detail the benefits of repairing the village dam.

After all, no one knows when there will be a flood?No one knows where the embankment will burst suddenly. Sometimes when the flood comes, there will be no time for people to escape. With the village protection dam, it is different. Once the dam breaks or the flood overflows, the village protection dam can temporarily block the sudden flood In the coming flood, even people who don't know how to swim can escape, making it possible for people to wait for rescue.

The government servants who were sent to communicate with the refugees issued notices that there was no free food in Yuhe County, and they had to work if they wanted to eat.

Men can go to the dam to repair the dam, and the old and weak, women and children can undertake some simple jobs in the county in need, such as washing and cooking, cleaning courtyards and streets.After all, if you want to eat, you have to work, and if you don't want to work, you can leave.

The refugees outside the city were dumbfounded. Some of them didn't want to work, and those who just wanted to make a living left immediately.And those who really just wanted to survive immediately flocked to the master book who managed the registration and distribution of work to sign up.

In this way, the men, under the leadership of the yamen in charge of building the embankment, went to the river in groups, and the women who were good at needlework went to undertake the work of making clothes for some people in the county, and those with a little craftsmanship could do some weaving. Things, no matter how clumsy your hands and feet are, you don’t know anything, just send out a broom to clean up the garbage in the streets and alleys of the county.

Of course, not everyone has to do it. Shen Jingcheng stipulates that each household can only give out one man and one woman per day, and each person can only distribute one liter of food per day.

With such a portion, even if it is a large family, adding more water when cooking can make the rice full and not starve to death.

After all, this is to resettle refugees, not to let them have enough to eat and drink. If anyone thinks it is not good to be here, just leave, no one will force them to stay.

In this way, the refugees who went to Yuhe County started to work one by one. At the same time, Shen Jingcheng also mobilized the wealthy households in the county to donate money and food. At any rate, those people were also building dams to protect their homes, not in vain. Eating food, for your own safety, is also a contribution to the county.

Of course, when Shen Jingcheng mobilized the wealthy households in the county, he also pulled a carload of grain from the Gu family's grain shop to the side of the embankment with great fanfare, and it was the Gu family's grain shop that took the lead in donating.

But who in the county doesn't know that the Gu's grain store is opened by the county grandfather's sister-in-law?This is to show people that I don't just ask you to donate, but my wife's family also donates a lot.

When the wealthy household saw it, what was there to hesitate about?The magistrates of the county dragged their sister-in-law into the water, so why don't they donate?

So without further ado, I happily started donating money and food.

After all, the former county magistrate didn't donate food himself, and he didn't even have a good word to say when asking them to donate money and food. At least now, the county magistrate speaks and does things very happily.

In this way, there was more food in the county, the refugees by the river were repairing the embankments in full swing, the streets in the county town were cleaned up, and the ordinary people of Yuhe County who returned home also began to work around their villages. The maintenance of the village dam was carried out in an orderly manner and in full swing.
