Chapter 58 Reconstruction of Ruichang

After Wang Ran took charge of Yangxin, he quickly compiled the basic situation of Yangxin.

More than 5,000 survivors and 43,000 shi of food!

The number of survivors is not particularly large, with more men than women at a ratio of six to four.

This aspect of food really shocked Song Yang.

When he heard that there were 43,000 stones of grain and grass, he immediately ran to the grain depot to check.

Only after seeing it with my own eyes did I know that the scale of the grain depot in Yangxin is larger than that in Jiangzhou.

Moreover, in order to supply the Daye Iron Mine, the scale was built to war-ready standards.

So the sturdiness is better.

No wonder there is so much food left.

This food is enough to feed everyone under Song Yang's current control until next year, or even more than enough.

Finally, Song Yang decided to let Chen Fu transport 10,000 shi of grain to Ruichang first.

Firstly, it ensures the food supply in Ruichang, and secondly, it can also be used as a transit transfer to Jiangzhou and De'an.

Then he asked someone to send a message to Qiao Jinglong. If there were refugees who could not be accommodated, some would be sent to Ruichang.

Song Yang's initial plan was to keep the population of each county under his jurisdiction at at least 5,000 people.

This is conducive to urban reconstruction and stability.

The news was sent out and he stayed in Yangxin for another three days.

The area has been completely stabilized, the construction of new camps has been completed, and pre-resettlement areas for refugees have also been divided.

All tasks are progressing steadily and Song Yang's guidance is not needed.

He then returned to Ruichang with Chen Fu and 500 minzhuang and 5000 shi of grain.

Because the transportation capacity is limited, the remaining five thousand stones will not be shipped until the next transportation.

When we arrived in Ruichang, we happened to meet Chu Fang bringing 3,000 refugees from Jianchang.

Chu Fang was the team leader who had followed Song Yang out of De'an.

After Song Yang destroyed the Changlong Kingdom in Ruichang, he sent him back.

Now Qiao Jinglong asked him to come out to lead the team again.

The situation is tense, and there are so few people available that I wish I could split the two halves by one person.

As for sending so many people this time, it's because De'an really can't accommodate them.

Some time ago, six thousand refugees arrived in Jianchang, and Qiao Jinglong anxiously sent a message to Song Yang.

After hearing Song Yang's words, Qiao Jinglong immediately sent two thousand refugees to Jiangzhou Fucheng.

After that, there was an emergency expansion of the refugee camp, and it was not easy to regain control.

Just a few days later, another large group of people came from Jianchang.

He didn't even have time to count how many people there were because he was too busy.

Qiao Jinglong had already planned to send someone off directly to Jiangzhou.

Song Yang's fast horse arrived just in time and asked him to send 3,000 people to Ruichang.

Good guy, Qiao Jinglong was dancing for joy after reading Song Yang’s letter.

"Your Majesty, this is a timely blessing!"

He now wants to send all the new refugees to Ruichang.

So we started the statistical work overnight.

At last count, there were only 2,500 new refugees.

Qiao Jinglong smiled again. This did not mean that he had solved five hundred more refugees.

So he picked out another five hundred from the previous wave of refugees, packed them up and sent them directly to Ruichang.

"Old Chen, I'll leave these people to you."

"You have seen with your own eyes how the refugees are resettled and the camps are built in Jiangzhou."

"Ruichang will take the road of Jiangzhou."

"I believe you can do well."

Song Yang finished speaking to Chen Fu.

He also announced in public that Chen Fu was now the magistrate of Ruichang County.

"Congratulations, Mr. Chen." Fang Zhe finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to managing Ruichang, he still wants to go back to Song Yang.

Before Chen Fulai came, Fang Zhe was really afraid that Song Yang would let him become the county magistrate on the spot.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty! I will do my best to live up to Your Majesty's trust!" Chen Fu solemnly assured.

Although Song Yang had made him the magistrate of Ruichang County before, he had been leading people in Yangxin to help stabilize the situation.

Now that I'm back in Ruichang, I'm finally on my own territory.

And in front of everyone, he became a county parent official.

Song Yang was still relieved about Chen Fu.

Without great capabilities, it is still capable of stabilizing a county and a city.

Of course, Song Yang also gave Chen Fu enough trust and practical support.

He gave Chen Furichang limited autonomy.

The so-called limited autonomy means that Chen Fu can recommend officials to be appointed by Jiangzhou Prefecture.

And it is limited to county governments and cannot recommend the military system.

This is far from what Wang Ran did.

But after all, Ruichang is directly under the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou, and the capital of Jiangzhou is still there.

Having the right to recommend officials is already a great freedom.

Chen Fu also understood this and thanked the prince with gratitude for his trust.

He also promised to find officials with outstanding abilities to contribute to the reconstruction of Ruichang.

Chen Fu was made the magistrate of Ruichang County, and Song Yang also stayed in Ruichang temporarily.

On the one hand, he helped Chen Fu resettle the three thousand refugees who came from De'an.

The other side is to see if Chen Fu can stand alone.

After Chen Fu took office, he immediately designated an open space next to the original settlement as a resettlement place for the refugees.

The construction of shelters is done by the refugees themselves, and Chen Fu is only responsible for providing basic survival food security.

There are also lazy people among the refugees who just want to take advantage of the fruits of other people's labor.

Chen Fu immediately pulled those people out and whipped them in public.

Only then did the refugees become more honest.

Chen Fu's approach was affirmed by Song Yang, and simply accommodating him was definitely not the answer.

Only by establishing a certain punishment and coercion mechanism can policies under the state of emergency be implemented.

While resettling the refugees, Chen Fu selected 500 strong men from the original 2,000 local survivors.

They were organized into five hundred-man teams, responsible for maintaining stability and assisting in reconstruction.

The number of armed civilians and veterans in Ruichang expanded to 1,000.

With these thousand armed people, Chen Fu could finally gain a foothold.

Three days later, Song Yang was completely relieved.

Judging from the promotion of various tasks, Chen Fu did a satisfactory job.

There is no innovation and no mistakes.

Moreover, we also found a person who had served as a government official among the refugees in Jianchang.

He was made a civil servant and responsible for the affairs of the refugee resettlement camp.

In this way, Ruichang also stabilized.

"Old Fang. It's the end of May, we should go back."

A few days later, Song Yang came to Fang Zhe to talk.

"What the prince said is that the date agreed with you adults is coming soon." Fang Zhe said with a smile.

He was talking about the Jiangzhou Conference in early June.

Song Yang has notified the four county magistrates Wang Ran, Chen Fu, Qiao Jinglong and Liu Huairen in the past few days to go to Jiangzhou for a meeting in early June.

After this period of turmoil, Jiangzhou Mansion has basically stabilized.

At the same time, Song Yang's sphere of influence also radiated to Ezhou.

At this time, it is necessary to bring together the principals from all over the country to hold a meeting.

The current situation in Jiangzhou is stable.

The subsequent development of forces, the reconstruction of cities, the revival of civilization, the reform of the army, and a series of other things need to be discussed in detail by everyone.

Song Yang didn't want to make a statement, and he didn't think that being a time traveler meant he was more comprehensive than these ancients.
