Lin Zhao did not break his promise, but actually asked Zheng Ya to help inquire about other scattered people in the Cui family. However, the Beizhou generation can be said to be in chaos and there is no way to find someone in a while.

The Cui family, the first to be taken to the city by Lin Zhao, had no place to live in the governor's mansion first. According to Lin Zhao's wishes, they would be allowed to move out after a few days after they found a suitable house.

After settling down the Cui family, Governor Lin began to focus his main energy on these refugees. At this time, there were more than 5,000 refugees outside Qingzhou City. The food in the prefectures temporarily solved their food problem, but it was still a big problem to settle them.

After all, the Qingzhou army that Lin Zhao spent so much effort was only 1,500 people, and more than 5,000 people were added to eat out of thin air. In the visible future, more people would flock to Qingzhou City.

The most basic thing is how to solve the food and accommodation problems of these people.

The food problem is not bad. Although the news of war is almost spread all over the world and grain prices have risen a lot in various places, Datong Business itself is doing grain business and they are the source of grain. Therefore, there is no problem with eating in Qingzhou for at least one or two years.

In addition to the food problem, there is also the storage problem of these people. Qingzhou New City District has been opened, but most places are still open and there is no house for them to live in. If you want to build houses in large quantities, it is useless to have money alone and you need a lot of wood and stone.

The only good news is that there is no problem with the safety in Qingzhou now, so Lin Zhao has enough time to deal with these problems slowly.

After all, as long as you have a full meal, there will be no big mess.

In this way, in the following days, Lin Zhao began to accept these refugees who escaped from the war zone one after another. What made governor Lin feel relieved was that some of these refugees fled with food. As long as they were given a safe place, they could eat for a while and there was no need for the government to take care of them.

The other part of the refugees who do not have food rations are mostly rich, and they are not completely free from the government.

The only people who are truly poor and have no choice but to have almost two or three hundred percent of the population.

For these people, the Qingzhou Governor's Office sent people to serve porridge every day and occasionally gave one or two steamed buns.

At least it ensures that these people will not starve to death.

Then Lin Zhao began to post notices, asking these refugees to build the new urban area of ​​Qingzhou with the craftsmen who had originally introduced to Qingzhou, and at the same time pay them wages.

In this way, the expenditure of the yamen is far lower than Lin Zhao expected.

In this way, Governor Lin began a busy job of receiving refugees.

The Qingzhou Yamen has little money for the expenses, and most of them are subsidized by Lin Zhao or Datong Business Network. Therefore, the daily Yamen’s expense accounts are sent to Lin Zhao for review by Lin Zhao himself.

He spends most of his time every day dealing with these things.

On this day, Governor Lin was in his study room, estimating how much money he had spent from him these days. A knock at the door came, and he could only temporarily put down the charcoal pen in his hand and coughed: "Come in."

The door of the room was pushed open with a creaking sound. Miss Cui, who was still wearing a blue cloth, was holding a wooden plate in her hand. On the wooden plate was a white porcelain bowl with a lid, which was still steaming.

Miss Cui put the wooden plate next to Lin Zhao, looked at Lin Zhao, and whispered: "I saw that Brother Shi has been busy with refugees these days, and it was quite hard, so I stewed a cup of chicken soup for Brother Shi in the kitchen."

She lifted the lid of the porcelain bowl, put the spoon in, and handed it to Lin Zhao: "Brother Shi, drink it while it's hot."

Governor Lin looked at the hot chicken soup in front of him and coughed: "How can I be so embarrassed to bother the girl..."

"If Brother Shi had not rescued me, I might not know what the outcome would be."

In her voice, there were some tremolo sounds: "Just treat it as a little sister, repay your brother's rescue."

Lin Zhao nodded, no longer polite, took the spoon and took a sip.

This girl really had no reason to harm him, so Governor Lin could eat with confidence.

After taking a few sips of the soup, he first praised Miss Cui's skills, and then asked, "Is Liu Niang used to living in the yamen these days?"

Miss Cui nodded and whispered: "It's pretty good..."

"It's good to live."

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "This place is not as good as Chang'an City, nor is it as good as Qinghe. The conditions are a little simpler. However, I have a brother who does business here. I asked him to help find a suitable house two days ago. When the place is ready, Miss Cui and your younger brothers and sisters can move over."

Miss Cui’s craftsmanship is indeed very good. Lin Zhao drank a cup of chicken soup in a few gulps. After drinking it, he continued: “At that time, there is no need to squeeze in the yamen anymore.”

To be honest, this governor's mansion is an official residence and is also the residence of the Qingzhou yamen. The entire front yard is a yamen, and the back yard is usually the governor's family, which is not very big.

It is much smaller than Zheng Ya's private residence.

In addition to a few servants, Miss Cui also brought four younger brothers and sisters to this yamen, which was indeed a bit difficult to live in.

Besides, they are all innocent and live in the same yard as Lin Zhao. It’s okay to have a stopgap plan, but they will inevitably gossip over time.

Miss Cui felt a little sad for no reason, but she couldn't find any reason to continue to stay. She could only bit her lip and whisper: "Brother Shi... I'm so polite. In this world, I have a place to live, and I and my younger brothers and sisters are already very satisfied."

"That won't work. If you feel wronged, it will be passed on to Chang'an City in the future, my uncle will not be able to spare me."

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Liu Niang, my brother is very rich, and if you look closely, he probably has some relatives with you. It is also appropriate to ask him to do some effort."

Before the scientific expeditions emerged, the family politics dominated the world, so family origin was extremely important. In that case, several thousand-year-old families did not look down on other small families, or even looked down on the royal family. Therefore, several thousand-year-old families usually intermarry.

Even after the rise of scientific research and the decline of the family politics, several ancient families would still intermarry with each other.

The Cui family in Qinghe and the Zheng family in Xingyang are both thousands of years old. I don’t know how many people have intermarried over the years. As long as this girl Cui sits down and pursues Zheng Ya for several generations, she will definitely be able to talk about relatives.

"I will introduce you to know each other when I have time."

Miss Cui nodded in a daze, not hearing clearly what Lin Zhao was saying.

Suddenly, a piece of white paper on Lin Zhao's desk attracted her attention.

Miss Cui reached out to pick up the white paper, took it in her hand and looked at it. She saw that the white paper was filled with dense symbols with charcoal pens. These symbols were not recognized by her, the daughter of a noble family who had been studying since childhood.

She couldn't help but be curious and turned her head to look at Lin Zhao.

"Brother Shi, is this?"

Lin Zhao had finished eating now. He looked at the paper on Miss Cui's hand and realized what she was asking. He immediately smiled and said, "This thing is called Arabic numerals. I learned it from a Hu man when I was a child. I usually use it to settle accounts."

"These are accounts for Qingzhou these days, and I'm calculating them."

Miss Cui's eyes gradually became brighter.

She put down the "draft paper", turned her head to look at Lin Zhao's face, and then worked hard to muster up the courage.

"That... Brother Shi..."

Governor Lin was wiping his mouth aside at this moment, and he heard this and looked up at Miss Cui.

"What's wrong with Liu Niang?"

Miss Cui opened her mouth and couldn't speak for a long time. In the end, she almost turned red and lowered her head and stammered and said: "Well... I learned arithmetic and arithmetic when I was a child..."

She mustered up the courage and looked up at Lin Zhao, her face was already flushed.

"I can settle the score for you..."
