As the most powerful city in the northern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Heyang City has a population of one million, even larger than the capital Jinling.
Of course, the planning of such a huge city is also a very profound knowledge.
But compared to other cities, Heyang City is a little special.
Because Heyang City was not so big from the beginning.
Like the capital Jinling, Heyang is also a thousand-year-old city.
In history, it has been chosen as the capital by six different dynasties.
It has been continuously expanded for thousands of years, and until now, it is large enough to accommodate millions of people living together, which can be said to be overwhelming.
And this kind of continuous expansion often creates some slightly negative historical legacy issues.
For example, the concentration of population density varies, the city planning is relatively chaotic, and even some idle land does not know how to use it for the time being.
Yes, even though there are many places in Heyang City that are so densely populated that houses are very expensive, there is still some vacant land in the city.
It is not that no one cares about these lands, but due to various reasons, no one can really take these lands as their own.
Over time, it has become a hot potato inexplicably.
The place where Tieniu led Jiang Fan arrived was one of these open spaces.
Thousands of refugees were temporarily resettled here, and extremely simple shacks were built in the open space. Although it was not too messy, it was still a bit disturbing to look at it.
"Master, the refugees who have poured in recently are all here. Master, you have mentioned before that if this happens, we should focus on the management and not allow the refugees to wander around at will.
So I found a place like this. Now I come to give porridge twice a day regularly to prevent these refugees from starving to death, but after all, it is not a long-term solution, young master."
Tieniu said helplessly.
"How are these refugees doing?"
Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes and asked.
There happened to be a government official giving porridge, and the refugees were in a mess. However, under the scolding and sticks of the corresponding government officials, they slowly and reluctantly formed a long queue.
This kind of behavior is absolutely inhumane in your own world, but in other worlds, it is already an extremely gentle approach.
Jiang Fan is not a holy mother, and he doesn't have many childish ideas. What's more, in such a position now, he must consider the overall situation. There is no way.
The butt determines the head, and this is true for almost everything.
"It's okay for the time being, but many refugees sneak out of this temporary settlement every day. The deterioration of public security in Heyang is also related to this situation. Moreover, these refugees have no idea about their future life. In a short time
I don’t think there will be any problems, but if it goes on for a long time, it will be hard to say.”
Tieniu said.
Jiang Fan nodded and walked towards the shacks.
Tieniu and several government officials hurried to follow. Such a group of people looked like big shots in the city, so they really attracted the attention of some refugees.
But most people had dull eyes and numb faces, completely turning a blind eye to the appearance of Jiang Fan and others.
"Bring the porridge over here! You want to be beaten, don't you?"
Not far after he approached the shack, Jiang Fan suddenly heard a cruel voice.
"Please, you took away my porridge yesterday. If my mother doesn't eat, she will starve to death!"
Another voice said with a cry.
"Then it's none of my business! Just two bowls of porridge every day! Who the hell can eat enough! Get it quickly! Otherwise you can't keep the porridge, and we'll break your legs! Then let you two go away and wait to die!
"
The ruthless voice said angrily.
Jiang Fan frowned and immediately changed direction and walked towards the location of the two voices.
Just when I turned a corner, I saw two people fighting for a bowl. Their movements were a bit big, and the bowl was not held firmly and fell directly to the ground.
At this time, not only was the bowl smashed into pieces, but all the porridge in the bowl was also completely spilled.
There were four people standing behind one of them. When they saw this, they couldn't help but became furious and said in a hateful voice: "Damn it! You are so shameless! Come on! Beat me! It doesn't matter if you beat me to death! The government won't care anyway!"
"Let's see who dares!"
Jiang Fan scolded him coldly.
Several people were stunned at the same time. After turning their heads to see clearly what Jiang Fan and the others were wearing, their faces suddenly turned pale.
The street patrol officer who was following Jiang Fan had already stepped forward while Jiang Fan was scolding him, and instantly surrounded all the people grabbing the porridge.
The man who was robbed did not look at Jiang Fan at all. He just knelt on the ground with a desperate look on his face, looking at the porridge spilled on the ground, his lips moved slightly, and tears appeared in the corners of his eyes.
"Is this common?"
Jiang Fan looked at Tieniu expressionlessly and asked.
Tieniu shook his head in confusion and said: "Young Master... I don't know, we are short of manpower recently, and basically everyone is maintaining law and order in the city. As for here, after settling the refugees, it's just
I just come here to give porridge every day."
"This won't work. The more concentrated a place is, the easier it is for evil forces to breed. If the government no longer has effective control methods, then the accommodation of refugees can only be regarded as superficial.
"
Jiang Fan said coldly.
"But... there are not enough manpower..."
Tieniu looked confused.
"If you don't have enough manpower, you have to find a way. There are difficulties in handling anything. When faced with difficulties, the first reaction should be to solve them, rather than letting the difficulties face you and just give up!"
Jiang Fan scolded Tieniu, then took a deep breath and said, "Let's gather all the physically strong people among these refugees, and then conduct training using the training method I provided before. The venue
It can’t be in Heyang City, we have to choose a place outside the city.”
"Let the Qian family take care of this matter, with our tribesmen as the training instructors! Not only will all the selected refugees be guaranteed to be well fed, but for those who perform particularly well, we will also pay them a salary! Of course, this part of the cost will
, it will also be settled by the Qian family."
"ah?"
Tieniu was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said in astonishment: "Master, doesn't that make you a private army? Is this... no problem?"
"Stupid, why don't we just change the name? In order to solve the increasingly serious refugee problem, we need to establish a militia system, and all militias are under unified control. We are solving problems for the court. What does it have to do with raising a private army?"
Jiang Fan glanced at Tieniu sideways, and then said: "I will write down the specific plan for you later."
"Yes, Master."
Tieniu didn't dare to ask any more questions and agreed honestly.
While they were talking, another group of government officials appeared outside the refugee settlement.
Jiang Fan took advantage of the situation and looked around, with a surprised expression on his face.
Because the street cleaning sign that the government officials put out was a city guard sign!
