The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

"The people in Beixiang don't treat us Central Plains people as human beings at all. They usually control them very strictly so that these people can grow food for them! This year, the people in Jingzhou and Pingqing Prefecture can't even grow enough food to eat by themselves. , Beixiang will not reduce taxes, so do they still have a way to survive? Naturally, they will try their best to run to our Yungu side. It is not easy to run over, and many people were intercepted and slaughtered by the Xiang people. The Xiang people were really inappropriate Son of man, even if they don’t care about the people, they are still afraid that we will care about saving the people.”

When the second uncle saw Song Yingkui asking about the situation of the refugees in the official camp, he couldn't help but complain about Beixiang's policies.

Beixiang's behavior is understandable from a rational point of view, but it is really outrageous from a rational point of view.

"In the name of the military government, send a clear message to Beixiang, reprimanding them for their atrocities regardless of the lives and deaths of the people! Posted in the official camp and Gongchang Quechang, openly and honestly accepted the refugees from Beixiang, and warned Beixiang, if they dare to use soldiers south of Huizhou to prevent the people from fleeing, the Yungu Army will do something thunderous and help the suffering people seek justice!"

It was unreasonable to ignore the refugees in Beixiang, but acting rashly would interrupt the original plan. For this reason, Song Yingkui was prepared to use a compromise method to express his attitude and provide some help to the refugees within a controllable range.

Fortunately, I also found a legitimate reason to openly and honestly break the agreement on not accepting each other's people in the trade agreement signed with Beixiang!

"What's Dazheng's attitude towards refugees flowing into Yungu?" Beixiang's attitude is predictable and easy to deal with. Song Yingkui is now a little worried about whether something will happen to Dazheng. If Dazheng stops the refugees, If we enter Cloud Valley, we won't be able to accept many people this year. We have been planning for several months, but in the end it may all be in vain.

"That kid from Qinzhou Pass Yao Dake has the final say. Tao Kedao, the guard of Wudu, has an old relationship with our Yungu. He will turn a blind eye to the refugees crossing the border. There should be no problem. Besides, there will be trouble this year. After such a disaster, if we help them evacuate some refugees, the local officials in Qinzhou and Guanzhong will be under much less pressure. It would be too stupid to obstruct this matter."

The second uncle still has a say in the situation of Dazheng's officialdom.Dazheng would not ignore the suffering people like Beixiang did, but after the imperial court issued relief measures, it was the local officials who had the final say on how to implement them.

In principle, Dazheng will not allow disaster-stricken people to move around freely. Under normal circumstances, the measure taken is to allocate money and food for local relief. If this does not work, some people will be organized into Xiang troops and relocated.

Dazheng's Xiang army is a very special existence. They are soldiers. They basically have no combat effectiveness, and no one will regard them as a serious army.Let’s say they are civilians, but they have military status!Its nature is a bit like the later Agricultural Reclamation Corps, or a state-owned construction company.It can be regarded as a kind of protective measure provided by the state to the people who have lost their livelihood.

The disaster-stricken people in Qinzhou and Guanzhong were unable to move to other places through normal channels and could only rely on government relief funds to tide over the disaster.This year, [-]% of the food harvest in this area has failed, and the disaster relief materials allocated by the Zheng court are definitely not enough.Coupled with the corruption of grassroots officials, the funding gap becomes even larger.

Sitting back and watching some of the victims flow into Yungu will not only reduce the pressure on disaster relief, but also prevent the people from starving to death. The grassroots officials in Dazheng are naturally happy to see this happen.

After listening to his second uncle's analysis, Song Yingkui finally felt relieved.Since there will be no obstruction from Dazheng, then what are you waiting for?Be confident and bold in grabbing people. If this wave is done properly, the shortage of people in Yungu will be alleviated by more than half, and the empty Wazhou will definitely be able to restore a lot of vitality!

In order to take full advantage of the dividends caused by the drought, not only did the administrative department go all out, but Song Yingkui was also not idle. He personally went to Wazhou and Huichuan to supervise and inspect the implementation of disaster relief and resettlement measures.After staying in Wazhou for nearly a month and visiting almost every resettlement site, Song Yingkui was ready to return to Taoyang to take charge of the overall situation.However, these days, he feels that something is wrong. There seem to be too many victims coming over?
"Ying Xiao, has the Executive Office reported the number of refugees currently received? Why do I feel that the number has exceeded [-]!" Song Yingkui, who realized that something was wrong, quickly found someone who was sent to Wazhou by the Executive Office to coordinate the disaster victims. Song Yingxiao, who is responsible for resettlement matters, asked about the current specific situation.

"Today we have resettled more than 1000 people. The dispatch from the Executive Office yesterday said that they have gathered nearly [-] people there and are organizing manpower to send them there!"

It's only mid-October, but [-] refugees have already been accepted. According to this development trend, the number of refugees pouring into Yungu will greatly exceed expectations, and the previously prepared response measures will not be enough to cope with the current situation.

The situation was critical, so Song Yingkui quickly rushed back to Taoyang City with his guards to discuss a solution with his second uncle.

"Uncle, what's the situation like with the refugees? How come there are so many refugees coming? You know, it's only October now. If it continues to develop, by March or April next year, the total number of refugees we will accept will probably be [-] to [-], or even Possibly more than [-]!”

The second uncle replied angrily: "According to the methods of the officials in Qinzhou and Guanzhong, it is difficult for the number of refugees flowing into Yungu to be less than [-]. These thieves are simply lawless. They not only concealed the information from the court They have greatly reduced the number of people affected by the disaster, and also deducted a large amount of disaster relief money and food. The expected disaster relief measure is to lure the victims to our Yungu territory!

News from Qinzhou said that in order to guide the victims to Yungu, the gang of thieves not only informed the people of our measures to resettle the victims, but also added fuel to the fire. "

No wonder the second uncle was so angry. What the officials in Dazheng did was a little too grand. They regarded Yungu as a big grievance.

"Didn't Dazheng Chaotang receive any news from Qinzhou and Guanzhong? How could they ignore the emergence of this situation?" There were cases of grassroots officials concealing reports and embezzling disaster relief funds. Song Yingkui did not believe that the monarchs and ministers of Dazheng Chaotang would get the slightest news. can not receive.Qinzhou is okay, Guanzhong is not far from the capital of Dazheng. It is impossible for Luoyang to not know about the disaster in such an important place!

"How could the important officials in the court not know about it? There are quite a few officials with Guanzhong citizenship in the court! The idea of ​​the important officials is nothing more than to turn a blind eye, so that they can profit from the greedy officials below. And it can save disaster relief money for the national treasury, why not do it? Even the emperor knew about it, and he was just pretending to be stupid to save money!"

"Ah? Are the officials in Guanzhong dumb? They just watch their hometown being harmed by petty officials!"

"They are just waiting for this to happen! People are fleeing in large numbers, and the land left behind will become idle fields. It happens to be taken over by big families like them!"
