"Please, Master Zhou, please don't crowd in too many people."
Ji Rufeng and others looked at each other and said.
They have been with Fang Yuan for a long time and know his character.
I definitely can’t refuse at this time, I just hope not to crowd in too many people.
"Okay, I've learned about your situation and I'd like to thank you for making a trip."
Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly.
Ji Rufeng and the others are adding 200 to 500 people to each factory.
The cement factory, steel factory, brick-burning factory, soft bed factory, toilet factory, etc. in your hands will each increase by 500 to 1,000 people.
Rough calculations show that the main urban area of Liaozhou can accommodate 10,000 to 20,000 people.
There are four other counties that also accept a large part.
Let the refugees clear up wasteland and dig out their own land.
"I'll say goodbye!"
Ye Chengmin and others looked at each other and finally got up and left.
"Where is Yang Sina?"
Fang Yuan sat in the conference room for a while and shouted outside.
Soon, Yang Sina came in.
"Go and do two things!"
"First, notify the county magistrates and let them select some places to open up wasteland for refugees!"
"Second, notify all shops in one city and four counties and encourage them to recruit people. The wages for the first three months can be low, but food and accommodation must be included."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
It is uncertain how many refugees will come.
But if you want to accommodate more people, you have to mobilize more power.
"Yes!"
Yang Sina’s respectful response should be.
He was about to leave, but was stopped by Fang Yuan.
"By the way, ask someone to go to the bank and call Lu Xia."
Fang Yuan ordered again.
Yang Sina left and went to do things according to Fang Yuan's instructions.
Not long after, Lu Xia came over, and before Fang Yuan spoke, she started to complain.
"Zun Zhou, I'm so busy."
"I am too busy now even if I have three heads and six arms."
Lu Xia said with a sad face.
She is now the manager of the White Tiger Club, the manager of the Guest House, and the manager of the bank.
It is so difficult for her to manage three places. It is almost impossible to tell where they are from, especially during this period, they are even busier.
"Are you so busy?"
"The White Tiger Club hasn't been handed over to Lu Chuchu yet?"
Fang Yuan was very surprised and said suspiciously.
"I almost threw it to her, but not completely. She is too lazy."
Green Summer complained.
The White Tiger Club and the Guest House don't take up a lot of time, mainly because the bank has a lot of things to do.
Only two people from the refugee camp in the south of the city who were truly worthy were sent to the bank to help.
But they are still unfamiliar with a lot, so they can't really help much yet.
So Luxia has so much to help with that she has been overwhelmed recently.
"You have to work harder and it will be fine after this period of time."
"If you are really too busy, go to Fang Mansion to find someone, and let whoever you find do the work."
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and comforted him.
"Okay."
"Zun Zun, what do you want from me?"
Lu Xia then changed her face and said with a smile.
"Liaozhou will introduce a large number of refugees recently, and I will introduce some policies to allow them to borrow money."
"You have to review their situation at that time, and the minimum requirement is to have a job in Liaozhou."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
The refugees admitted this time cannot simply be given food to keep them from starving to death.
We should also give them opportunities to start businesses, etc., so that those who are capable can develop.
But in order to reduce the risk, you need to have at least a job in Liaozhou. If you owe money, it will be deducted from your salary.
"Okay, don't worry."
Lu Xia thought for a while and said solemnly.
This is not a problem, she will definitely strictly control the policies issued by Fang Yuan.
"Then you get busy first."
Fang Yuan originally had some detailed thoughts to discuss with her.
But seeing how busy she is, I won’t delay her and let her get busy first.
"Hmm, I'll go to Fang Mansion to find someone first."
Lu Xia nodded heavily.
Hongxu and Qinggao from Fang Mansion, as well as Xue Jiaoyan can all come to help.
By the way, there is also Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li is also very good at arithmetic, so we have to invite her over.
These days, all the aristocratic families come to apply for loans, and the review process is troublesome, and they have to estimate how much money to borrow.
Time passes day by day.
There are more and more refugees outside the city, numbering over 10,000.
But because there are two gruel meals a day and two hundred people are admitted every day, order outside the city is very good.
Not only were there no troubles, but many toilets were built, and the refugees’ basic hygiene was solved.
Everything seems stable.
But the real problems have just begun.
The food supply in Liaozhou City is about to bottom out!
Du He and the others haven’t come back yet!
Just when I was about to ask Du Miaoyan about the situation, Du Miaoyan arrived.
"Fang Yuan, a piece of good news and a piece of bad news."
Du Miaoyan said with a complicated expression.
"Let me tell you the good news first."
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said calmly.
"The good news is that Changsun Chong has returned from Bingzhou and has successfully transported the grain back to the city gate."
"The bad news is that something happened to Zhao Yingcai, the governor of Langzhou, and Du He can't receive the food. Do you want to come back first?"
Du Miaoyan sighed.
"What happened to Zhao Yingcai?"
Fang Yuan was immediately shocked.
"Cui Zhentang, the minister of the Ministry of Finance, impeached Zhao Yingcai for maliciously purchasing grain with the intention of hoarding goods and raising prices to subvert the regime. Now he was taken to Chang'an City by the Ministry of Personnel to face trial."
Du Miaoyan sighed.
"Slander!"
Fang Yuan was furious.
He was so anxious that he got up and walked back and forth.
Zhao Yingcai purchased the grain for himself.
You can testify to this matter yourself, and the court will most likely not pursue it.
But since Zhao Yingcai was taken away, there will definitely be an in-depth investigation, and there is a high probability that something will happen to him.
Because Zhao Yingcai's butt is not clean, although the problem is not big, there is a high possibility of being demoted or dismissed.
This is what Fang Yuan is anxious about!
"What now?"
"Do you want me to send a divorce letter back to my father?"
"But it may not be of much use. Cui Zhentang is from the Boling Cui family."
Seeing Fang Yuan being so anxious, Du Miaoyan pondered for a moment and said.
Cui Zhentang is not only the Minister of Household Affairs, but also a person with the fifth surname and Qiwang, and has very strong connections.
Even if you ask Du Ruhui to come forward, this kind of thing that has been put on the table still requires evidence.

"No need."
"Tell Du He and the others not to come back yet."
"Also, let them send Yang Xiulan and Zhao Zixuan safely to Liaozhou City!"
Fang Yuan shook his head and said in a deep voice.
It’s not that Zhao Yingcai didn’t collect the food, he just couldn’t receive it.
If Du He and the others are left alone, there will be no problems with that batch of food, and no one will dare to mess with that batch of food.
But Fang Yuan was worried about mother and daughter Yang Xiulan and Zhao Zixuan, worried that someone would be watching them, and worried about their safety.
Zhao Yingcai was taken to Chang'an City and followed the procedures. It would be difficult to solve the problem within a month or two.
"Okay!"
Du Miaoyan nodded solemnly and left the arrangement.
"Zhang San, go and greet Changsun Chong in person."
"Let them enter through the south gate, and try not to let the refugees know about the food being brought back."
Fang Yuan called Zhang San and said in a deep voice.
"Yes."
Zhang San leaves.
Fang Yuan was a little tired and leaned on the stool.
Zhao Yingcai was not taken away for a long time, but he was taken away at this time. It is estimated that someone took the opportunity to cause trouble.
Otherwise, knowing that Zhao Yingcai's batch of grain was shipped for disaster relief would give him some face.
Cui Zhentang, Cui Yuanting, Boling Cui... what a Boling Cui.
"Zun Zhou, can I come in?"
Yang Sina's voice sounded outside the door.
"Enter."
Fang Yuan sat up seriously and said calmly.
"Zun Zun, I heard that Zhao Yingcai, the governor of Langzhou, was taken to Chang'an City for trial."
Yang Sina closed the door and said softly.
"You are so well informed."
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a half-smile.
Du Miaoyan had just told the news to her, but Yang Sina already knew it.
Is this what the son of the prince is capable of?
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince asked you if you need help?"
Yang Sina smiled slightly, then took a few steps forward and whispered.
"Third Prince Li Ke?!"
Fang Yuan suddenly felt a little uneasy.
When did the prince pay attention to me?
"Exactly."
"The Third Highness has great admiration for Zhou Zun and has always wanted to talk to him at night by candlelight."
"But I couldn't do it because I was too far away. This time I learned that something happened to your former superior. I asked your subordinate to ask if you need help?"
Yang Sina explained.
At this moment, Yang Sina felt superior to others.
But it's no wonder, after all, as the son of the Duke and working for the prince, it is inevitable that he will be proud.
"I will consider it."
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.
Unexpectedly, Yang Sina was not only the son of Duke Guan Yang Gongren, but also the son of the third prince Li Ke.
Moreover, Li Ke actually fell in love with him and wanted to join him.
It's a pity that Li Ke is not destined to be his destiny.
"Zun Zun, Governor Zhao is in danger!"
Yang Sina opened her mouth and looked at Fang Yuan with some surprise.
You know, he represents the third prince Li Ke this time.
Fang Yuan’s consideration can be seen as rejection by anyone with a discerning eye, right?
"I said to think about it!"
Fang Yuan's eyes turned cold and he said in a deep voice.
"Yes, I will resign."
Yang Sina frowned, feeling a little unhappy.
But he is not proud enough to confront Fang Yuan head-on in Liaozhou.
After Yang Sina left, Fang Yuan fell into deep thought again.
Zhao Yingcai must find a way to save him, but he cannot rely on Li Ke to save him.
The third emperor of the Tang Dynasty was not the current prince Li Chengqian, nor was he the third prince Li Ke.
Relying on Li Ke to save Zhao Yingcai at this moment is equivalent to announcing to the outside world that he has surrendered to Li Ke and will be liquidated in the future.
So what should we do?
Fang Yuan's brows furrowed into a frown.
Not long after, Changsun Chong and Cheng Chumo returned and returned to Fang Yuan's place.
"Fang Yuan, Bingzhou's 10,000 shi of grain was successfully transported back!"
Changsun Chonggong cupped his hands and said.
"Thank you for your hard work, please invite me to the White Tiger Club?"
Fang Yuan smiled and invited them to sit down and drink tea.
"Alright."
"I heard there was something wrong with Du He?"
Changsun Chong and Cheng Chumo looked at each other and showed smiles that all men understand.
"There was an accident, but it wasn't Du He, it was Zhao Yingcai, the governor of Langzhou."
Fang Yuan explained the situation to the two of them.
"It's Cui again!"
"The Bolingcui family is really not a good person!"
When Changsun Chong heard this, he immediately said angrily.
"You also encountered trouble in Bingzhou?"
Fang Yuan frowned and said.
How dare anyone stop the two sons of the Duke from going there in person?
"It's a bit troublesome."
"When we were transporting grain, Cui Yuanting, the governor of Bingzhou, threatened that Bingzhou also wanted grain for disaster relief and would not transport it to us."
"I got angry at that time and yelled at him a few words. Chu Mo was even more direct and took out two axes, and then I successfully brought them back."
Changsun Chong said coldly.
It’s really ridiculous. Bingzhou asked for food relief, but why didn’t I see them providing disaster relief?
In the entire Hedong Road, only one place in Liaozhou is currently providing disaster relief, and the other city gates have not even been opened.
"Do you have any idea to join forces with me to bring down the Bolingcui family?"
Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice.
"Let's forget about this."
Changsun Chong immediately said sarcastically.
Boling Cui is really strong, so strong that it is unimaginable.
I am just the son of the Duke, and I don’t even have an official position. How can I dare to marry the Bolingcui family?
Even his father, the Minister of Civil Affairs, did not dare to go too far when facing these wealthy families.
"Okay, then you go back and rest first."
"Just say my name when you go to the White Tiger Club."
Fang Yuan smiled and said.
I am not dissatisfied because Chang, Sun and Chong did not cooperate.
Facing the five surnames and seven looks, normal people would avoid them, so how could they dare to go against them easily?
"If anything happens over there in Du He, remember to call us!"
Changsun Chong didn't stay much longer and left with Cheng Chumo.
After the two left, Fang Yuan suddenly had an idea flash in his mind: an idea to save Zhao Yingcai emerged.
"Zheng Jiu, how many state officials and security guards do we have outside the city now?"
Fang Yuan called Zheng Jiu and asked.
"There are two hundred and thirty state officials and two hundred and sixty-five security guards helping outside the city!"
Zheng Jiu came over and said respectfully.
Unlike Zhang San, he has to check his notebook when reporting work.
"So many...has the order in the city been affected?"
Fang Yuan frowned and said.
"It does have an impact."
"Brothers are busy until late every day before they can rest."
"Patrols have been reduced in many places, and many factories are temporarily lacking guards."
Zheng Jiu reported truthfully.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But there is nothing we can do, there are really few manpower in the city now.
It will get better if you persist for a while. Everyone gritted their teeth and persisted.
"Order outside the city is important, but order inside the city is equally important."
"As more and more refugees are absorbed, order in the city will become more important."
"Starting from today, twenty state officials and security guards will be transferred back every day to stabilize the order in the city and guard each factory!"
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
"Are the state officials and security guards twenty each?"
Zheng Jiu asked uncertainly.
"Yes."
Fang Yuan nodded.
"But refugees come in large numbers every day. How can we manage so many refugees if we redeploy manpower like this?"
Zheng Jiu said worriedly.
There are too many refugees outside the city, more than 20,000.
Twenty thousand people can form an army to fight.
"There will be more and more refugees outside the city, and we can't manage them no matter how many people we have."
"The top priority is inside the city. We want to make sure that the people in the city are okay, so go ahead."
Fang Yuan waved his hand and refused to elaborate with Zheng Jiu.
On the surface, he did it for the stability of the city, but secretly, he did it to save Zhao Yingcai.
Fang Yuan has his own ideas about saving Zhao Yingcai and doesn't plan to tell anyone.
Later, Fang Yuan called Zhang San to arrange some things.
A few more days have passed.
The number of refugees outside the city surged to 35,000.
The order has collapsed, but it is still maintained.
Because if you obey, you will have the opportunity to enter the city. If you register your information, you will be able to work in the city.
This is the reason why most people are willing to accept order.
But those who are interested will actually find that more than half of the state officials and security guards outside the city are missing.
The tents were no longer built, and the newly arrived refugees either poured into the tents that had been prepared at the beginning, or slept in the open air.
At the same time, the refugees also found that the gruel became even thinner and could not fill their stomachs. It was very different from the beginning.
Suddenly, the refugees began to have opinions.
"Hey, official, why is this porridge getting thinner every day?"
"Don't you want to provide disaster relief? Are you putting the court's money and food into your own pockets?"
"That's right, we want to eat, we want to eat meat, and we want to go to the city to eat delicious food and drink spicy food."
Someone is making a fuss.
A lot of people responded at first.
Because the porridge is getting thinner day by day.
But after the commotion reached the point where they were about to enter the city, those who had arrived earlier panicked.
Immediately, the refugees were divided into two camps.
"What about after entering the city?"
"Are you going to rob after entering the city?"
"After entering the city, will you burn, kill and loot?"
"You don't have any shit, why do you want to go to the city and drink spicy food?"
There were early refugee rebuttals.
They remembered what Fang Yuan said and were worried that Liaozhou City would no longer provide disaster relief.
"You, what are you talking nonsense about?"
"We want to go to the city to work, not to rob!"
Another group of refugees countered.
But the tone is obviously somewhat untenable.
They are almost like the first batch of refugees arriving.
I want to go to the city, but I don’t want to stay here and live like a pig or a dog.
But when they were asked about it after entering the city, they were at a loss for words because they had no answer.
"Then you just wait to be selected, instead of causing trouble here and affecting us."
The refugees who objected shouted loudly.
None of them want their hope of entering the city to be affected by others.
"When will the selection be made?"
The refugee who wanted to enter the city said angrily.
These words touched everyone's heart, but no one had an answer.
Some refugees' emotions were aroused and they looked at the city gate with longing eyes.
There is no refugee here who does not want to go to the city, and no one who wants to stay here.
But some refugees who still remain rational know that if trouble occurs, they will no longer have a chance.
Suddenly, the city gate roared and the city gate slowly opened.
People looked happy and looked longingly into the city.
But soon, they looked panicked.
I saw two long teams neatly walking out of the city.
They all wore weapons and walked out in unison with stern expressions.
Estimating the number, there were as many as five hundred people.
Since the disaster relief, so many people still showed up at the same time.
The rioting refugees subconsciously became panicked and retreated.
Soon, Fang Yuan rode out on a horse, followed by Du Miaoyan, Xue Bowu, Li Danqiu sister and brother, Zheng Jiu, etc., all of them were masters.
After arriving at the door, Fang Yuan and others did not move forward and stayed at the door. The refugees present looked at it with great curiosity.
Not long after, a carriage came quickly from the far side of the cement road, passed through the refugees on both sides of the cement road, and stopped in front of Fang Yuan and others.
Fang Yuan dismounted and walked quickly to the carriage.
"Brother Yuan!"
No one has seen it yet.
The sound came from the carriage.
Immediately, a yellow figure jumped out of the carriage, threw himself on Fang Yuan, hugged Fang Yuan tightly, and cried.
Yang Xiulan also walked out of the carriage, her eyes were slightly red, but she was still calm. She nodded slightly to Fang Yuan, and stepped out of the carriage with Fang Yuan's help.
As the refugees present looked on, Monk Zhang Er was confused.
"Be good, don't cry, Brother Yuan will save Uncle Zhao."
Fang Yuan patted Zhao Zixuan's back and comforted her.
After pushing her away from his arms, Fang Yuan took the two of them a few steps forward, facing tens of thousands of refugees.
"I heard someone was making trouble just now!"
"Some people say that the gruel is getting thinner day by day!"
"Some people say that the imperial court's money and food go into the official's pocket!"
"But which one of you has seen that any money or food has come from the imperial court?"
Fang Yuan's face was stern, his tone was deep, and he shouted loudly.
The scene was very quiet, and everyone in front could hear what Fang Yuan said.
As soon as the words fell, they became uproar and changed their colors.
"Doesn't the imperial court have money and food?"
The refugees were shocked and looked left and right.
They couldn't believe that the imperial court had no money and food, so why did Liaozhou's disaster relief work take so long?
Has Liaozhou been doing disaster relief on its own for nearly a month?
"Quiet!"
On the horse, Du Miaoyan whipped the horse rope several times.
Several snapping sounds were heard, causing the refugees at the scene to slowly quiet down and look at Fang Yuan one after another.
"It's me, the aristocratic families and merchants in Liaozhou, and the food prepared by Zhao Yingcai, the governor of Langzhou, Shannan Province, and his wife and daughter, so that you can survive!"
Fang Yuan continued to speak loudly.
Smoothly push Yang Xiulan and her daughter forward slightly.
The refugees present suddenly burst into tears as they listened.
They thought it was money and food from the court, but they never thought that the court had not given any help.
For a moment, they felt gratitude, guilt and other emotions welling up in their hearts, and the eyes they looked at Yang Xiulan and her daughter were full of gratitude and guilt.
"However, Zhao Yingcai, the governor of Langzhou, was impeached by traitors and taken to Chang'an City for trial in order to prepare food for you."
"Now, there is no food in Liaozhou. The food in Langzhou has been seized and cannot be transported. You can continue to make trouble and wait for death."
Fang Yuan shouted loudly.
Today he brought out almost all the masters in the city to welcome Yang Xiulan and her daughter.
It is to resist the refugees who may riot next.
Without food and waiting to die, can these refugees endure it without making a fuss?
