Chapter three hundred and ninety second placement method
Regarding the humble smile on Abbot Zhitong's face, Li Xingchen just smiled slightly and turned to look at the mountain gate. Zhitong was obviously a smart man, and there was no need for him to say anything else, because he had more important things to do than these temples.
Things will be solved.
At this time, he had realized that the number of refugees had exceeded his imagination. There were two to three hundred people gathered in Baoen Temple. If Baoen Temple was not really big enough, I would not be able to accommodate so many people no matter what.
The situation of Baoen Temple is like this, and the situation of other temples will certainly not be much better.
Looking at these refugees with stiff expressions on their faces and following each step like puppets, Li Xingchen could only sigh and shake his head. Their clothes were ragged and their faces were dusty, but this was a true portrayal of most people in this era.
The next biggest headache for Li Xingchen is how to resettle these refugees.
After all, it is now known that there are thousands of refugees gathered outside the city, and it is unknown how many people are on the way to escape. This is definitely not a small number, especially for Bashu, which has a small population of Han people.
The harsh rule of the Northern Zhou Dynasty gave Li Xingchen a problem, but it also gave him an opportunity.
Xiao Shilian and Dai Cai quickly walked into Bao'en Temple, and Abbot Zhitong was also a sensible person, so he hurriedly left. Seeing Abbot Zhitong leaving, Xiao Shilian couldn't help but curled his lips: "If it weren't for Shizhong and you showed up to kill others at the critical moment, I'm afraid
These refugees still don’t know where they should be resettled.”
But Dai Cai was a little worried: "The general is a bit reckless in doing this. The monks in these temples have been pampered for so long, and they can be considered domineering... After all, many wealthy families in the city provide these temples with money."
Incense, the general will inevitably offend people by doing this..."
Li Xingchen snorted softly: "I don't expect not to offend them, but who dares to stand up and say 'objection' now?"
Dai Cai was startled for a moment, then smiled silently. Yes, as Li Xingchen said, among the aristocratic families in Bajun City, only the Tang family of Bajun followed suit, and everyone could see Tang Zhengliang's attitude clearly. As for Li Xingchen,
These aristocratic families actually don't care what kind of attitude they show, all they have to do is follow closely.
What's more, even without Tang Zhengliang, the number of soldiers and horses that Li Xingchen firmly controlled in Ba County was enough for him to deal with all possible threats.
It is conceivable that the temples in the Bajun area will not be doing well in the future.
"Zidong, what we should consider now is not these trivial matters," Li Xingchen said with a smile, "but how to resettle these refugees."
Immediately, Dai Cai, Xiao Shilian and others cheered up, and Li Xingchen considered: "A certain person has already thought of two or three methods. Look at these refugees, although they are mainly women, children, old and weak, there are also many young people.
, these people must be selected first.”
Xiao Shilian nodded slightly. This is for sure. What Li Xinchen needs most is, after all, sufficient soldiers. Even if there are not many young people among these refugees, for Li Xinchen, it is not in vain.
"Secondly, the elderly refugees among these people are looking for land to settle and cultivate in the surrounding counties. This matter is left to Zidong." Li Xingchen then looked at Dai Cai.
Dai Cai hurriedly responded. After the last war around Bajun, the number of Han people was not large and many fields were abandoned. This time, it was just a good idea to use these refugees to re-cultivate. Li Xingchen patted his palms gently:
"Some other women and children will ask Mr. Ouyang to come over tomorrow and see that they can't do the physical work in the workshop, but they can still do some sweeping work. And now that the weather is getting colder, the soldiers also need more work.
I can let them help make the armor, so it’s the best of both worlds.”
Dai Cai and Xiao Shilian glanced at each other subconsciously, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. While they were still feeling relieved that these refugees had finally gathered together, Li Xingchen had already begun to think about how to resettle them next, and even formed a plan in his mind.
Conclusion, perhaps this is the gap between them and Li Xingchen.
"Chen Zhishen!" Li Xingchen turned around and shouted.
Chen Zhishen, who was directing the distribution of clothes not far away, did not dare to neglect and ran over quickly: "General, what are your orders?"
"Send out all our sentries and search for the refugees along the main roads. Try to gather them in the city first. Also, pay attention to spreading the news. The bigger the publicity about our plan to resettle the refugees, the better." Li Xingchen said in a deep voice.
, "You must personally take responsibility for this matter, and notify Wangjiangtai and Geleshan at the same time. Try to gather the refugees along the way to prevent them from causing trouble."
A bitter look suddenly appeared on Chen Zhishen's face. He was good at finding people, but he had trouble with publicity. "General, I'm sorry for my incompetence. What should I do when I see the refugees?"
·······”
Li Xingchen interrupted him with a smile: "How do you usually talk to the folks in your hometown?"
Chen Zhishen was a little surprised, but Li Xingchen said with a smile: "Just tell them that although there is no good wine or meat in Bajun City, as long as they are well fed and have work to do, they will not be hungry in the future. Just treat them as yours.
Folks in the countryside, please persuade them to come here."
Chen Zhishen also understood at this time and nodded hurriedly: "This subordinate understands!"
"Okay, hurry up and make arrangements!" Li Xingchen waved his hand, "If someone sees you wandering around the city during the day tomorrow, just wait until you can't eat and walk around!"
Xiao Shilian and Dai Cai both had smiles on their faces, while Chen Zhishen solemnly cupped his hands, turned around and left quickly.
"Zidong, I have something else to trouble you. Go and ask the head of the Tang family to write a notice and post it in the city to explain clearly what he means. These refugees are only staying in the city temporarily and will not do anything to the people in the city.
It has had too many impacts on my life, and if anyone wants to take advantage of this opportunity to recruit workers, I won’t stop you." Li Xingchen paced back and forth, "Just speak clearly and clearly."
"No!" Dai Cai responded.
For those basically illiterate refugees, of course, you can use the simplest language to persuade them. If you say it in a formal way, they will not understand it. But if you want to appease the people in the city and various aristocratic families, it is better to use more formal words.
good.
"That's it for now, hurry up and make arrangements." Li Xingchen clapped his hands.
After Xiao Shilian and Dai Cai left quickly, Li Ping, who had been standing not far away, stepped forward: "General, where should we go next?"
"Where are we going? Of course we are going home." Li Xingchen said seriously.
Li Ping opened his mouth, a little surprised. But Li Xingchen said matter-of-factly: "I have done all the brainstorming, and the only thing left is to keep them busy. Of course I have to go home to catch up on some sleep, otherwise I will have to do it tomorrow."
You have a pair of dark circles under your eyes?"
"Uh..." Li Ping suddenly felt that he had no way to refute.
