Chapter 386 Do you know his son-in-law?
When the emperor issued an order to appoint officials and asked Wen Xiuyi and Chen County Magistrate to cultivate new grains in Yunwu Town, this matter was not a secret among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and once the order was issued, states and counties across the country would receive the news.
After all, they also had to prepare in advance to promote new grains, but no one expected that someone would actually hinder them in this matter.
From the letter from the magistrate of Fenlu County, we can see that there are tens of thousands of refugees coming here. Even if some people are left in Fenlu County, there will still be thousands of people coming here.
Moreover, the letter from the Fenlu County Magistrate to Chen County Magistrate also mentioned that these refugees did not know where they got the news. Yunwu Town has high-yield new grains, and they will not die of hunger when they arrive in Yunwu Town. Now most of the refugees They all came to Yunwu Town.
Emperor Annan was kind-hearted and treated the people well, especially the refugees who had migrated because of the disaster in their hometown.
If there are ordinary people who want to move to other places, as long as they have a road leading to their original place of residence and have it stamped, they can move all the way. When they reach their destination, if they want to stay and live, they only need to go to the Yamen and pay the handling fee. You can stay after changing your household registration.
Although it is said that, settling refugees is an extremely troublesome matter, but when they have to accept them, local officials will usually try their best to survive the fittest, that is, leaving some people behind and letting the rest go to other places. Place to go.
And these people who stayed must have been selected by them. Most of them have some wealth and can be used for money. Moreover, the number of people that each state and county can accept is also limited, which leads to some people even if Even if you have money, you may not be able to stay, and you will eventually be forced to move to the next place.
Then there is an infinite loop, layer by layer of digestion, and finally disperses these refugees, which also plays a role in resettlement, and also avoids the occurrence of riots caused by too many refugees that one city cannot accept them all.
What the emperor wants is peace and prosperity for the country and for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, so as long as people can be settled and troubles solved, as for the process, in the end not many people really care.
But now, they are obviously being targeted.
Tens of thousands of disaster victims are now rushing to Yunwu Town. Not to mention whether County Magistrate Chen has so many places to accommodate these people. Even if these people are here, can they just sit back and ignore them?Can you watch them starve to death?
Magistrate Chen didn't think he was a good official before, and he couldn't care less about human life. What's more, now he has been brainwashed by Wen Xiuyi, and all he can think about is how to benefit the people.
That's why Magistrate Chen became so angry when he saw this letter.
Wen Xiuyi did not expect that things would develop like this. The magistrate of Fenlu County was a pretty good person. He had been to Yunwu Town several times and had met with Magistrate Chen and Wen Xiuyi several times. They both discussed it. I will also share some with him when I start planting new crops this spring.
Looking at the furious Magistrate Chen, Wen Xiuyi quickly calmed down. He put the documents back on the table, pressed Magistrate Chen down on the chair, and poured him a glass of water.
"You calm down first."
Wen Xiuyi's voice was like magic, which quickly calmed down County Magistrate Chen's irritable mood. After drinking a cup of warm tea, Magistrate Chen's anger also calmed down a lot.
"No, these bastards, I must write about them." County Magistrate Chen said angrily.
Wen Xiuyi glanced at him and said: "What's the use of writing a book? You didn't read what Lao Du said in the letter. These victims are the ones who were resettled along the way. They did not resist the decree and did not show respect for the victims. ,only……"
I just don’t know what I told these victims and what kind of wrong guidance I gave them to make them all rush to Yunwu Town.
Wen Xiuyi patted Magistrate Chen on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "What we should be thinking about now is how to resettle these victims when they arrive."
County Magistrate Chen waved his hand and said: "How can we arrange it? Just do it as before. When the people arrive, they should distribute food and relief at the gate of the city. Then stamp their road signs and let them pass, and then Go wherever you like.
But I have never encountered so many people before. With so many people, how much food must be rescued?Do we still have money to buy food?As for what is left in the yamen granary, I'm afraid it won't be enough if they are all moved out. If they are all moved out, how will I pay salaries to these people in the yamen this year? "
"Ah? Is that so?" Wen Xiuyi didn't quite understand the arrangement and process. Only then did County Magistrate Chen remember that he was only in his first year as an official, so he simply explained it to Wen Xiuyi.
"Anyway, we've been doing this for so many years. It's just that we haven't seen so many victims move for many years. There are files in the yamen. The last time so many people moved was during the war..."
County Magistrate Chen paused for a moment as he said this, and mumbled at random. After all, with the change of dynasties, it is not the ordinary people who are unlucky in the end.
Fortunately, their current majesty is a kind and wise king.
Wen Xiuyi sighed: "It really can't be done. Let's use those who have stored up food first to deal with the emergency. We can't just ignore the situation."
County Magistrate Chen opened his mouth and wanted to say that it was their lifeblood and their bright future, but when he thought about it, why cultivate new grains, wasn't it just to feed the people.
When this idea came to him, County Magistrate Chen couldn't believe it was his idea. He felt that he must have been brainwashed so much by Wen Xiuyi that he thought he was a good official.
"We'll see what happens then. No one has arrived yet, so we don't know what the situation is, but Lao Du really can't stand it any longer. Do you want him to let him go?" County Magistrate Chen asked tentatively.
Wen Xiuyi nodded, what else could he do?Could it be that if they refuse Mr. Du, they can send people back to the northwest?Not realistic.
With so many victims, it was obvious that someone deliberately led them here. If he and Lao Chen failed to settle things properly and cause trouble, it would be equivalent to giving others a reason to interfere with them.
Wen Xiuyi despised this kind of behavior of using human life as a bargaining chip.
When he got home in the evening, Wen Xiuyi didn't hide anything. He called Old Man Wen and Luo Shi, Wen Yao Wenjun and Qiu Zhi together, and held a small meeting to discuss the matter.
At the end, Wen Xiuyi said: "Anyway, no matter whether someone deliberately lured people here to me and Lao Chen, since they are here, we have to pick up, not only we have to pick up, but we also have to pick up beautifully. No one can leave any excuses."
Old Man Wen and Luo Shi looked anxious. After hearing what he said, they asked worriedly: "Boss, if someone really targets you deliberately, will there be any problems with these victims?"
This……
Wen Xiuyi also fell silent, he didn't know.
At this moment, Qiu Zhi, who had been listening quietly, stroked the beard on his chin and said, "If I remember correctly, Gong Xingxian, the newly appointed governor of Beijiang Prefecture the year before last, is the Minister of Civil Affairs. Pan Yongnian single-handedly promoted him."
Several people were stunned. Wen Xiuyi couldn't remember that his crime was so personal, so he subconsciously asked: "Who is Gong Xingxian and who is Pan Yongnian? I don't know them."
Qiu Zhi glanced at him and hesitated for a while before saying, "You don't know Pan Yongnian, but you know Pan Yongnian's son-in-law."
Wen Xiuyi was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized something.
fuck.
