Chapter 502 The strange place (seeking a silver note)
Jiang Fan didn't take Gu Haoran's matter too seriously.
After all, his relationship with Gu Yanyan was somewhat complicated, and his relationship with Gu Haoran only had conflicts and never any friendship.
So no matter what happened to Gu Haoran, as long as Gu Yanzhi didn't find it on his head, he would be too lazy to take care of it.
Even if Gu Yan wants to ask for his help, he will only deal with it out of duty.
As for whether or not you should try your best, it just depends on your mood.
After leading Tieniu and several government officials to stroll around several streets, Jiang Fan discovered that although the hygiene of the streets could still be maintained, the number of beggars begging on the streets had increased significantly compared to before.
increase.
After all, the jobs that Heyang City can provide are limited.
Even if Jiang Fan raised a city management fee and added jobs for health personnel, it was still a drop in the bucket compared to the population of Heyang City.
Therefore, these new refugees obviously cannot be resettled through the government affairs work of the government.
Even though Tieniu has been asked to select those who are relatively strong among the refugees, raise them as livestock, and prepare them into an army.
But after all, there will still be many refugees who are unable to meet the standards.
Most of these refugees who cannot meet the standards will eventually become beggars.
Because the government's porridge-giving behavior cannot continue forever.
The government's grain reserves belong to the entire Zhou Dynasty. Local officials have the right to use a limited amount. If you want to use most of the grain reserves, you must have approval from the relevant yamen in the capital.
Therefore, once the food consumed by the soup kitchen reaches the limit that Heyang government can bear, this temporary settlement method will collapse instantly.
As for the idea of using the Qian family's food to continue giving porridge, Jiang Fan just thought of it and threw it away.
Not only does it conform to the principle of helping friends to help each other, but it is also applicable to the management of refugees.
Huh?
Just as he was thinking about these things, an idea suddenly flashed in Jiang Fan's mind.
Since refugees can be cultivated in the direction of military strength, can these beggars... be cultivated into their own intelligence network?
If it can really happen... coupled with the high public support in Heyang City, then the certainty of controlling Heyang City will be even greater!
Jiang Fan stared at the beggars everywhere on the street without blinking. After thinking carefully for a while, Jiang Fan suddenly waved his hand and said, "Let's go home!"
"Ah? Go home? Master, have you thought of another good idea?"
Tieniu asked curiously.
"I do have an idea, but whether it can be realized will require more research and we will go home first."
At the same time, Lin Shenghe, who lived in Prince Wu's Mansion, suddenly sniffed his nose and frowned involuntarily.
Although his aura and martial arts realm were completely sealed, his five senses and physical strength were not affected in any way.
It's just that when you live in Prince Wu's Mansion, you need to be careful enough not to be seen by anyone.
Prince Wu's Mansion did not restrict his movements. Except that he was not allowed to leave the palace, he could move freely in most places in the palace.
Of course, there are some sensitive areas where you can move around freely.
Although Zhou Di and Zhou He had no requirements in this regard, Lin Shenghe knew very well that someone must be watching him secretly. If he made any suspicious move, then the mission assigned to him by his young master would be tantamount to failure.
.
Therefore, since Lin Shenghe moved into Prince Wu's Mansion, he has always behaved very normally and has never done any risky behavior.
Turning his head to look in the direction where he smelled the smell, Lin Shenghe thought for a moment, then turned around and left the room.
He stood at the door and stretched, then walked out of the yard as if he was just wandering out of boredom.
Soon he came to the place where he smelled the smell, a very remote small garden in the palace.
On weekdays, even the servants of the palace would not come to this place. Generally, only those who are in a bad mood and want to be alone may come here.
Just as he was about to step into the garden, Lin Shenghe saw Zhou He coming out sweating profusely.
The two of them looked at each other and were stunned at the same time.
Zhou He's face flashed unnaturally for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and nodded: "Brother Lin, are you taking a walk?"
"Yes, I ate a bit too much at lunch and my stomach felt uncomfortable, so I went out for a walk. I didn't expect to meet His Royal Highness."
Lin Shenghe said with a smile.
"It just so happens that I have some questions about Brother Jiang and I want to ask Brother Lin about it. Why don't we chat?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a destiny, and he dare not resign."
Lin Shenghe leaned forward and said.
On the other side, at the edge of the refugee settlement, the face of city guard Gu Yan was getting worse and worse as time went by.
Although there are thousands of refugees living here, they are actually crowded together and occupy a small area.
The people brought by Gu Yanzhi searched the entire residential area in about an hour.
But it can be seen from Gu Yanzhi's face that this hour's search has basically yielded nothing.
"Are you sure you were knocked unconscious near here?"
Seeing that all the people responsible for the search had returned and reported to him that no trace of his son had been found, Gu Yanzhi turned to look at the servant who had reported the news before and said in a cold voice.
The servant trembled, nodded vigorously and said: "I'm sure, sir, it's really on the street near here. The young master thought it was too late, so he took the villain along the path and hurried home. Unexpectedly, he just entered
On the trail, the villain was sneak-attacked and knocked unconscious."
"If the place where I fainted had not been on a remote trail, I would have been discovered early this morning and woken up, and I would not have been unconscious until noon. My lord, every word of the villain is true, absolutely nothing.
What a lie!"
Gu Yan couldn't help but pick up a handful of the flower seeds.
It wasn't that he suspected that this person was cheating on him. After all, he was a domestic slave with a bond of sale, and his loyalty could be guaranteed.
But the disappearance of his son is really a bit strange.
If the other person was just asking for money, his son should have been knocked unconscious along with this person.
Why go through unnecessary trouble and get kidnapped again?
And if the other party's purpose was not to seek money, but to kidnap his son from the beginning, then why not take the servants away with him?
Somewhat confused about the contradiction, Gu Yan couldn't control his irritation.
He had a vague premonition, but when it came to his son's safety, he really didn't want to think too much about it.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally made up his mind: "Let's go directly to Lieutenant Jiang Cheng to report the case. Lieutenant Jiang Cheng will come forward and search the whole city! We must find Haoran!"
