Chapter 604 Refugees (Part 2)

After the release of a princess's second-year declaration, she was killed by the unscrupulous governor's face and head. In the end, she could only run out with her hair and pouting. Even if Anna did not report, Zhao Guanhou knew that a wave of refugees had swept across Shandong. The porridge sheds in Jinan City and the urgent requests from several subordinates all showed that this wave of refugees was extraordinary, unlike previous years' disaster victims who fled to famine.

Shandong's welfare is the best and has always been the first choice for people to escape. Because under the rule of Zhao Guanhou, Shandong's public security and welfare have a reputation and are even called the Eastern Cape by foreigners. People with a little ability are willing to run to Shandong as long as they leave their hometown to make a living. In recent years, it has really attracted a large number of intellectuals and elites to Shandong.

The whole is like the previous gold. Every spring famine or disaster, people who cannot survive will flee. Shandong's social welfare institutions are not inferior to Taixi. When they come here, the chance of survival is the highest. People come here every year, but the situation this year is particularly serious.

Xia Manjiang is in charge of finance, Zou Jingzhai is in charge of justice, and Li Runnian is in charge of water conservancy. These three aides who have followed Zhao Guanhou since the pre-Jin era are still his loyal arms.

With the entry of a large number of refugees, the work of the three people is under great pressure. A large number of refugees means large ration expenses and serious social pressure. Unlike the last planned large immigration to Shaanxi and Henan.

This time, the refugees suddenly appeared, and there were a large number of dangerous elements who were unwilling to be content with their own affairs, waiting for government relief, and hoping to obtain a chance of survival through their own strength. The conflict between outsiders and local gangs and the challenge to the existing order in Shandong made the entire Shandong police investigation system busy, and even had to seek help from local garrisons and rely on the power of the troops to deter these refugees who are not afraid of the world.

"If these refugees are left alone, there will definitely be problems, but if they have to, it will be a huge expense. The current situation in Shandong..." Xia Manjiang was quite ashamed. Although his wallet was just a nominal manager, he was actually Jian Sen's deputy, but he still had the responsibility to support him.

In particular, Zhao Guanhou's attention to the Xia brothers also made Xia Manjiang willing to kill himself in return. When there was huge financial pressure, the first thing he felt was self-blame.

Although the pressure came from the weakness of the external market and had nothing to do with his personal actual situation, he still said with shame:

"Last year, Shandong's economic trend was sluggish. If so many refugees were placed, the huge economic pressure would make it difficult for Shandong's finances to support. Beizhi suggested that all civil servants in Shandong's administrative system could only receive half of their salary..."

Zhao Guanhou shook his head and said, "Why? The economy is sluggish and prices are rising. If you pay half of your salary, wouldn't it be worse? Other provinces like to talk about public servants' awareness, but my rule is not. As an official in Shandong, I can't give them ideals or ideology, and I can only give them two things, one is promoted and two is rich. I plan to issue a document, and all Shandong civil servants will have a salary increase of 15%. No matter how poor you are, you can't lose your yamen or your hardships, you can't give your public servants. This is the rule in Shandong."

He looked at the other two again, "Where is our Speaker Wang?"

"Brother Hexuan is still arguing with the members of the republic in the provincial parliament. The members have different opinions on the resettlement of Shandong refugees, and everyone can't argue with each other."

Zhao Guanhou smiled, "I think Mr. Hexuan must have his own solution, so I won't disturb him. Let me talk about my opinion first. This refugee, like the Shaanxi immigration in the past two years, is the same test question. The test is whether we Shandong is qualified and become our number one province in China. The previous question was answered well, and I hope everyone will answer this question well. After all, we have the experience of the last time and should do better this time. This matter is not a simple civil issue. It may involve other levels. All people and departments must be taken seriously and not be careless. I will issue a warrant to mobilize a division to be ready to assist in public security work at any time. As for the money, I will find a way. We cannot wrong our people, nor can we let the refugees have problems. As for the river prevention migrant workers that Brother Li is considering, yes, these people are ready-made labor, and there is no need to be useless!"

His arrangement was not expressed, but only looking at his expression, several subordinates were relieved. They had a trust similar to admiration for their commander, and as long as he said there was a way, there would be a way. Especially among the senior officials in Shandong, this idea has become a consensus.

Zou Jingzhai said: "Master, there is another thing that I must explain to you and also attract our attention. In the cases caused by refugees, there is a sign that foreign refugees and immigrants from Shaanxi and Henan have relatively close contacts. In recent cases, I have found that some people deliberately create an opposition among refugees and artificially provoke regional conflicts. They form the opposition consciousness of outsiders and Shandong locals. They even intend to guide refugees to attack Shandong locals. This is something that subordinates think is quite suspicious and should attract our attention."

"I can imagine this situation. When a person comes to another place and has no relatives, he will naturally feel isolated. All he can rely on is the village party or acquaintances. At the same time, some kind of opposition will naturally arise with the locals. It is normal to have such an emotion, and it is no big deal. As long as you have food and clothes to wear, you will be integrated sooner or later. However, on the one hand, there is no way to make a living and you cannot see the way to live. On the other hand, locals are full and warm, so they will naturally be unhappy. If someone instigates it, it is almost inevitable that the two will develop oppositions. In fact, the provocations are probably not only among the refugees, but also among the people of Shandong."

Zou Jingzhai thought for a moment and nodded, "The general is very good. When you say this, the students also remembered that some members of the parliament proposed proposals for refugees attacking the people, murders and robberies, and asked Shandong to allow residents to carry guns. As long as the tax has reached a certain number, they are allowed to hold guns and defend themselves. They also need to train the Lianzhuang Club in the countryside to cultivate the spirit of martial arts, practice martial arts, and practice military formations."

"This is just the beginning. In the future, people will spread public opinion among the people and promote revenge. First, refugees must kill residents, and then instigate residents to come out for blood and teeth, and it is best to let two fights so that they can be satisfied."

Zhao Guanhou sneered: "These people were originally from one place, deliberately divided into two groups to create conflicts, but they could not let the two live in harmony. Their hands were also extended to the parliament. My words were here, and the guns in Shandong were banned. As long as I became this inspector, no matter what big things happened, I would not send the guns to the people. The prohibition of armed forces is an iron rule, just like the militia armed forces are all banned. It is an iron rule that cannot be changed due to any external reasons. It is simply delusional to obtain this part of the power by causing trouble. I have a clear idea of ​​this matter, and as for how to deal with it, I will have a way."

People who have reached this level will naturally not be too stupid. Even those who are as loyal as Li Runnian have already understood at this time.

"Master, are you talking about the refugee problem, not only a natural disaster, but also?"

"That's natural. People who have coveted Shandong have never been a rare opportunity. The refugee affairs are a way they think of. They want to mess up the environment in Shandong through a large number of refugees. They are good at scrambling to fish in the waters. Since ancient times, this has been using bad methods and not rare. The lessons I taught them last time were not enough. This time, I have to teach them a little more lessons. This is a good thing. Let some people jump out by themselves and catch them one by one, saving more effort. You can do your own business and come up with a plan. I will find a way to do it. In short, the questions this time must be answered well and beautifully."

Jinan City at night is almost the same as the big cities in Thailand nowadays. The electric lights and power plants established by Huabi Bank make the entire city full of light. Many foreigners who fled from Thailand to Shandong to survive, strolled on the wide streets and looked at the rows of stores on both sides, and always had the illusion that they were still in their motherland.

However, there are a little more incongruous colors in Jinan City, which makes the overall environment a little weird. A long-lost odor appears in the wind. Refugees entering Shandong from other provinces drink raw water from the tap water pipes on the side of the road, and they will inevitably have stomach upset and are not used to public toilets. They still drown everywhere according to their hometown habits. The limited police can't manage them for a while.

Under each street lamp pole, there were a few ragged refugees curled up and squeezed together, looking at the pedestrians with dull eyes. As long as someone came over, they would stretch out their hands. The head of the beggars was still powerless and unable to deal with it in the face of such a huge base. The former underground social pattern was completely chaotic.

The porridge shed had already gotten off work, but there were still many people gathering. Since the porridge was strictly followed by discipline and distributed according to the principle of first-come and then arrive without considering the degree of hunger. Therefore, the refugees could only come over as early as possible and strive to get a good seat.

Several parks in Jinan City have long become paradises for refugees. The weather is still quite cold now. People stay here for a night without worrying about being stepped on by carriages or animals, and no one comes to harassment. Correspondingly, this place has also become a forbidden place for night travelers and dare not approach it at will.

A graceful figure, like a person who returned home at night, took the wrong path and walked into the park. If you want to turn around, you will still walk forward with your teeth. The high heels come into contact with the road and make waves. There are no lights in the park, and it is pitch black all around, and there is no movement. All the wind is snoring and unknown causes.

Ye Guiren's footsteps were accelerated unconsciously, as if he wanted to speed up the time and pass through this dangerous place. But just as this person was about to pass through a short bush, several black shadows suddenly jumped out of the bush and rushed towards the pedestrians.

The sharp dagger pressed against the snow-white neck and then dragged it into the grass. A hoarse voice couldn't help but say, "It smells so good! Her clothes are so smooth. This is the first time she has encountered such a good product these days. Just this piece of clothing can sell a few dollars!"

"Slower!" Another man whispered, "Shocking the others, it will be troublesome to divide them. Be careful not to tear the clothes."

While speaking, the pedestrian was pressed on the grass by the attacker. During this period, these attackers had committed three similar cases. However, the victims were all female homeless people and did not attract any attention. This was the first time that they attacked ordinary people.

Without a lamp, they couldn't see their appearance clearly, and they didn't care about their appearance. In short, this person was going to die. The things on his body could be used, and there was no need to pay attention to it. But just as the first big man stretched out his rough hands and groped his tender skin, a strange sound came. It seemed that something was stepping on a broken branch near the grass.

The alert man immediately pressed the victim's throat with a dagger and asked in a deep voice: "Who?"

"Idiot, I still can't get enough kung fu. I can't escape other people's ears."

As a man's voice sounded, several lanterns suddenly shone over, making these thugs who were accustomed to survival in the darkness unable to open their eyes for a while. When they finally got used to the light, they saw at least two-digit strangers who had touched them.

God knows how they came here. This area has been classified as the territory of these men through bloody battles. So many people invaded the territory, but they knew nothing. The great man who served as the leader had an instinctive premonition that it was not easy for people to deal with.

The leader is a man and a woman. The woman is very young and looks like a half-grown child who has not grown up. She speaks foreign words and turns out to be a foreign girl.

In the wind, there were shouts of people, screams and angrily curses, and then guns and screams sounded. As the lights here lights came, it seemed as if there was a signal, and the attack began without warning. It was like pouring a cup of cold water into the rolling oil, the quiet park became noisy. I don’t know how many people surrounded the park, and the refugees entrenched here were instantly suffering a catastrophe.

The lanterns, torches and even electric lights shining in the park, and the snakes and rats in the dark night were unable to hide. The attacking team did not intend to reason, but only issued simple and crude orders to treat the anti-orders and harm them mercilessly with force.

"You...one of you? Don't come over! Come over again, I'll kill her!"

The man who had a premonition of the situation was not good, panicked at the person opposite, and the dagger was tightly pressed against the hostage's neck. But the other leader only smiled coldly, "Bombies! He is obviously a refugee without any worries, and he is not at ease to do hard work and earn steamed buns. Instead, he thinks about doing such a thing. Is this the only thing you have? Apprentice, make-up exams begin!"

The man hadn't understood what was going on, and a crisp gunshot suddenly rang out. A projectile shot out from the revolver, through the thick night, shot into the man's eyes, and finally exploded behind his head, splashing the white brain and red blood on the hostage's face. Without waiting for the other bandits to make moves, the students who were making up for the exam seized the time, pulled the trigger with one hand and the other hand quickly pulled the hammer.
