Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 511
After all, Huang Xingchu has worked in the UNHCR for five years. At the beginning, the UNHCR was a place where noble children were gilded. After all, there was nothing to do.

It's just that since the three-year drought, the number of refugees in the Far Eastern Dynasty has increased sharply, and his life has become more difficult every year. When he was transferred to the UNHCR, he was still a third-rank official. Five years later, he has been demoted to become a seventh-rank sesame official. .

Although the position has been demoted, the jurisdiction has not been reduced in the slightest. The refugees in all provinces of the Far Eastern Dynasty are under the jurisdiction of the UNHCR, but in fact, officials in various places do not care about the UNHCR.

Therefore, the UNHCR can only manage millions of refugees in the Wangjing area. Although the jurisdiction is only in the Wangjing area, the UNHCR is still overwhelmed.

"According to the latest statistics from our UNHCR, there are 230 registered refugees outside Wangjing City."

Holding a brochure in his hand, Huang Xingchu reported to Lin Chuan: "Now 150 million of them live in the two refugee camps we built in Changhe and Dongling outside the city. The rest of the refugees spontaneously formed several refugee camps and refugee camp."

Huang Xingchu explained embarrassingly: "We really don't have the ability to build more refugee camps."

Lin Chuan waved his hand, saying that he was not to blame. After all, UNHCR has only more than 20 officials, but it is not easy to manage millions of refugees.

"The problem we are facing now is that there is not enough food, there is a shortage of supplies, and the refugee camps have infiltrated illegal forces. Now that winter is coming, the situation will become even worse..."

Huang Xingchu is very familiar with the situation of the refugees. He gave a detailed report on the number of refugees and the problems faced by the refugees. In a word, there is a shortage of food and money.

After listening to Huang Xingchu's report, the situation is much more serious than Lin Chuan imagined. The problems facing the refugees are not only the survival problem, but also the security problem.

According to Huang Xingchu's report, there are at least dozens of violent gangs among the refugees. They have controlled most of the refugees. Efforts were made, but with little effect.

In fact, most of the refugees came to Wangjing just to survive, but the existing violent gangs seem to have changed a lot of things. If the containment is not strengthened immediately, it may trigger new riots, which is very important for the fragile dynasty. Said, is unable to withstand such a blow.

"Master Huang, I have a clear understanding of the situation of the refugees. Next, I will talk about the plan I am responsible for resettling the refugees this time." Lin Chuan waited until Huang Xingchu finished speaking, and began to introduce the new solution to him.

"I decided not to provide free porridge to the refugee camps, but to pay for it. If they want to get food, they must participate in labor. This will not only vent their energy, but also help us do some infrastructure."

Huang Xingchu showed concern: "Master Lin, I admit that your plan is good, but what if the refugees don't want to go to work and want to go home? Now they keep marching all day long, just clamoring to go home."

"I will solve this problem. I think most people come to Wangjing to ask for work. We provide them with jobs. When working, we provide not only food but also money. They will not refuse."

"If someone really encourages them not to work and make troubles all day long, I don't think I need to be merciful." Lin Chuan's face flashed fiercely.

As a soldier, Lin Chuan didn't think as much as Huang Xingchu. He provided work food and travel expenses for the refugees. He was benevolent. If they objected to work for relief, then even if they starved to death, it would be due to their laziness. No wonder others .

"Your task now is to recruit some literate people among the refugees. The more the better, they will be responsible for managing the refugees in the future. My requirement is that every two hundred refugees need at least one clerk. You Do you understand?"

"Lord Lin, leave this matter to me, and I promise to complete the task." The arrival of Lin Chuan made Huang Xingchu find the backbone, and he patted his chest to promise.

Lin Chuan added: "I only give you half a day, it's up to you how many you can recruit."

"Master Lin, don't worry, I will definitely recruit enough clerks."

Lin Chuan ordered: "You will send someone to lead the way later, I will go to the grain depot to pick up food, and in the afternoon I will go to the Changhe refugee camp."

Lin Chuan quickly entered the working state. On the one hand, he sent Huang Xingchu to recruit clerks who could read and write, who would be responsible for managing refugees and distributing food money in the future.

On the way to the grain depot, Lin Chuan still did not forget about his work. According to the plan discussed with the emperor, there are two work-for-relief projects that they will launch soon.

The first is to build a road from Yiwangjing to Leo Province in the southern region. There was originally a road, but it was built a hundred years ago.

The original provincial roads have been destroyed due to environmental and time factors, and many places have been severely damaged after the war, and they cannot travel together, so they can only detour.

This time the re-planned road is named "Straight Road". As the name suggests, a straight road is a straight road. It will not wind and bend through various provinces, but will be built directly to the province of Leo, covering thousands of miles.

The specification of the straight road will be several grades higher than that of the provincial road. The width of the road is at least ten meters, and the foundation is twice as large as before, paved with blue bricks.

The purpose of building the straight road is very simple, that is to strengthen the dynasty's control over the wealthy areas in the south, and to transport grain from the south to the north more conveniently.

In addition to building a straight road from Wangjing to the southern region, another work-for-revenue project is the construction of an irrigation canal that is hundreds of miles long.

This water diversion project will start from Nanchuan Province, divert the water from the Sanggan River to Katong Province, and irrigate the eight northern provinces along the route, so as to solve the water shortage in this area and build a grain growing base in the north.

These two projects are large projects that require countless manpower and material resources. If it was put in place before, no emperor of that dynasty had such courage to implement it.

But now there are many refugees in the Far Eastern Dynasty, which can not only solve the security problem, but also save labor costs. By the beginning of next spring, these projects will be almost halfway through, and the refugees can return to their hometowns at that time, and then they will be converted to contracting to stimulate business development. , which is also part of Lin Chuan's plan.

"General, the grain depot is here." The carriage stopped, and Li Qiye knocked on Lin Chuan's door and opened his mouth.

Lin Chuan put away his thoughts, rolled up the drawings again, tidied up his official uniforms and got out of the carriage.

The official guarding the grain depot was a fourth-rank official named Liu Kan. He heard that Lin Chuan was very frightened when he arrived, so he hurried out to meet him, fearing that he would anger Lin Chuan and be taken to the prison of the Supervision Department, but he forgot that Lin Chuan Chuan is no longer the inspector general, but Lin Chuan's Yu Weiyi is there, and they dare not neglect.
