On the first day of February, when news gathered from all parties showed that not only Du Du had retreated, but even Dorgon had hurriedly evacuated outside the customs, the people in Jinan city who had been waiting for help finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then many practical problems were placed in front of everyone. That morning, everyone gathered in the hall of the Prince's Mansion in Wangcheng to discuss the aftermath.

"...At present, there are not even ten houses left outside the royal city of Jinan City. Except for a few houses in the north city, most of the houses in the south city and the outer city have been burned down, leaving only a few ruins. The tens of thousands of people in the city have no clothes to keep out the cold.

There is no roof over your head.”

After Song Qizhu finished speaking, Zhang Bingwen continued.

"Furthermore, the placement of nearly 100,000 young people in the city is also a problem. Except for more than 10,000 of these young people who are Jinan people, most of the others are people who were rescued by the prince from the "human circle" of the slaves, and most of their families are

Even the oldest people who were killed by the slaves were only thirty or forty years old. Most of them were in their prime. They were often alone. If they could not be properly arranged, if they were to form a group and cause trouble, the number of slaves would be increased.

Chaos..."

The most troublesome thing every time after the war is probably the demobilization of Ding Zhuang. If they are just defending the city, it would be fine. They just need to be demobilized and go home. But now Jinan is facing tens of thousands of single "Ding Zhuang"

"Need to be dismissed.

"Yes, those young men have nothing to worry about. If they are allowed to return home on their own, they will inevitably form friendships on the way. If something goes wrong, it may bring disaster to the place. Your Majesty, you must handle this matter carefully!

"

"There are also those rescued women. How to resettle those orphaned girls is also a big deal. If they can't be resettled properly, wouldn't their suffering be made worse if they were deceived by traitors?"

When he heard Licheng Magistrate Han Chengxuan mention those women, Zhu Guoqiang raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and then suddenly laughed.

"Well, on one side there is a young man who has lost his family, and on the other side there is an orphan who has lost his family. Look..."

Looking up at everyone, Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.

"Let's make them husband and wife. In this way, when the strong men have a family, they will naturally not cause hidden dangers to the place just to gather for righteousness! What do you think?"

"Master Shizi's brilliant plan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Deng Qian immediately praised him.

"In this way, not only will the young man be stable, but the orphan girl will also have a place to go. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

"Goodbye, Your Majesty!"

Amid the echoes of everyone, Liu Huaguang frowned and said.

"The prince's plan is a good one, but even if they get married, they are all homeless and miserable people. Even if a young man has a family, he will still sleep in the open air and see his wife with him.

When you suffer, you will inevitably take desperate measures. After all, you can survive alone. But among men, how many are willing to see their wives suffer with them?"

As the only person without official rank among these people, Liu Huaguang directly pointed out the hidden dangers in this method. When he said this, the expressions of everyone who were originally flattering could not help but change slightly. However, his straightforwardness,

It actually made Zhu Guoqiang look at him twice. He had always admired Liu Huaguang, who destroyed his family and defended the city bravely, and now he naturally liked him even more.

“What Shida is worried about is!”

Nodding slightly, Zhu Guoqiang said thoughtfully.

"Actually, this matter is said to be easy to handle, but it is easy to handle. The slaves were invaded and invaded, and they burned, killed, and looted along the way, so that thousands of miles were deserted, and hundreds of miles around Jinan were completely bare, so..."

Looking at everyone, Zhu Guoqiang said directly.

“I’m thinking that we should leave the unowned land around Jinan to them for cultivation!”

What!

Everyone's expressions changed slightly when they heard this. Just as they were about to speak, they heard the prince continue to speak.

"Since most of the people outside the city were slaughtered for the slaves, there must be a lot of unowned land. Instead of letting the land be abandoned, it is better to allocate it to these young men and let them settle down in Jinan. This will prevent the young men from wandering around.

Wandering is a disaster for the local area. Secondly, after they settle down and settle down, they can also enrich the local area and allow the government to collect taxes. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there's something wrong with this. Although a lot of the land has become ownerless, what if the old owner comes after the land is divided? How will we deal with it then?"

Han Chengxuan, the county magistrate, was naturally aware of the risks of land division at the first time.

"It doesn't matter. If the original owner comes to find him, and after confirmation, just let him return it. There were originally more than one million people in the hundreds of miles around Jinan, but now most of them are slaughtered by the slaves. It can be said that there is no one left in ten, and there is no one who knows the land.

How many of them are worried that there is no place to put their young adults?"

For the concerns of Han Chengxuan and others, Zhu Guoqiang said again.

"As for the houses they live in, it's easy to handle. Let them live in groups of ten or hundreds of families and use the bricks, tiles and wood from the old village to build houses. Although those houses have been burned down by the slaves, the bricks must still be intact.

No damage, if they work together to build a house, it will only take a few days to build the house, um..."

After thinking about it, Zhu Guoqiang looked at Song Xuezhu and asked.

"Xu Chu, didn't we seize tens of thousands of cattle from the Qing army's camp? If it's enough for one family, if not, we'll give it to two or three families and give it to them all. There's no need for the government to keep it.

After all, they were originally things belonging to the common people."

As soon as Zhu Guoqiang finished speaking, there was a chorus of praises all around. Even those who were still a little worried about the "dividing of land" all stood up and bowed.

"Your Majesty, you are benevolent and righteous!"

The reason why they did this was because those cattle belonged to the prince. After all, those things were captured by the prince under his command, so naturally they belonged to the prince.

That’s more than 30,000 cows!

These cattle alone are worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and the prince directly rewarded them all to the people. Moreover, to the people, cattle are more valuable than silver. "Farming is the basis of cattle", and they are inseparable from farming.

That’s awesome. I don’t know how many people can benefit from this reward.

"Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous. In this way, this young man's heart will surely be at peace!"

"No, who doesn't want to live a stable life."

"In this way, Jinan will be able to regain its vitality as soon as possible and regain the prosperity of yesterday!"

Amidst everyone's compliments, someone else whispered doubts.

"This marriage requires a "matchmaker's words ordered by the parents". How can so many people match each other in such a hurry, and who is matched with whom is a matter..."

Zhu Guoqiang laughed loudly after hearing other people's concerns.
