Long before the chaos in Shuangmiao Mountain, Lin Chunhong began to spread his plan to control the countryside to the entire county. He established the "Xingzhishu Hall" in Bailizhou. According to Lin Chunhong's plan, this Xingzhishu Hall will focus on cultivating rural management talents in the near future and provide him with a continuous stream of various management talents in the long run.

Lin Chunhong attaches great importance to this school. He not only personally formulates learning plans and formulates textbooks, but also allows twenty people who entered the countryside to give lectures in the early stage, and also takes classes in person. Recently, the school system is three months. After the study is completed, he is sent to the countryside for internship. After passing the assessment, he is officially in charge of the management affairs of a village.

After reaching an agreement with Prince Hui's Mansion, some unsightly gentry still tried to resist the archers entering the countryside. Without saying a word, Lin Chunhong immediately sent a guard like a wolf and tiger to conduct armed training in these villages under the banner of archers. He also took the excuse of arrest to bring an unreasonable gentry back to the yamen to interrogate for three days.

This method has very obvious effect. The squire who was about to resist immediately retracted and chose to cooperate or turn a blind eye.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Lin Chunhong was sent directly to the countryside after the first batch of students from "Xingzhishu Hall" graduated. In less than half a year, more than 100 villages in Zhijiang, each village had archers. The entire Zhijiang immediately became unrecognizable. Some knowledgeable people gradually realized that if this continues, Bao Zhedong's order may not be able to leave the county town.

Lin Chunhong didn't take Bao Zhedong's power sphere seriously at all. He was planning to build the Bailizhou River Dike, but he had not yet obtained the official deed of the mudflat. Bao Zhedong was already dissatisfied with Lin Chunhong, and because Lin Chunhong had no fame, he looked down on him a little. How could he give him the official deed so easily?

One day, a soap official suddenly came to report, and the magistrate Bao Zhedong invited him. Lin Chunhong asked casually: "What's the matter with Bao's parents? So I invited me alone?"

The Zao Lie replied: "I also invited Lord Bo, it is said that it is a refugee."

"You go back, I'll go there right away, thank you for your hard work."

When he heard about the refugees, Lin Chunhong understood the trick in Bao Zhedong's belly. Zhang Daohan had long notified Lin Chunhong: Shaanxi, Henan has suffered frequent floods and droughts, and a large number of refugees entered the Jingxiang area of ​​Huguang. The court ordered Jingzhou and Xiangyang to properly handle the order, but the order was issued, but the money and grain were not available. Jingzhou Prefecture decided to divide the refugees into each county, and Zhijiang divided the refugees into more than 5,000 refugees. More than 2,000 stones of grain were allocated from the treasury according to the amount of one and a half stone for each refugee, and the remaining insufficient parts were supplemented by Zhijiang County.

Lin Chunhong couldn't help but sneer: I dare not give me the official deed. Today I will let you kill your teeth and swallow them!

Lin Chunhong arrived at the county government office and found that Tan Jiexi was already there. Judging from the tea, it was probably a long time since he arrived. As soon as Lin Chunhong settled down, Bao Zhedong poured bitterly: there was no food in the county, and there was no remaining wasteland to resettle the refugees. Now that the refugees gathered in Anfu Temple, there were signs of instability and became rebels at any time...

Lin Chunhong heard this and asked, "Didn't Jingzhou Prefecture allocate more than 2,000 stones of grain?"

"That's just on the books, and the final amount of less than a thousand stones." Bao Zhedong and Tan Jiexi said in unison, unable to hide their contempt in their eyes, and they thought to themselves: This fool doesn't even know this.

Of course, Lin Chunhong knew that the people of Jingzhou Prefecture and Zhijiang County were working hard to swallow up the food, and even Bao Zhedong and Tan Jiexi jointly swallowed 500 stones. Now he asked Lin Chunhong to come over, it seemed that he wanted Lin Chunhong, a rich man, to take over this hot potato. As for the details, these two dogs probably had already discussed it.

Lin Chunhong asked again: "How many strong men are among the more than 5,000 people?"

Tan Jiexi rolled his eyes and replied, "About 50% of the strong men."

"What? Are there 50% of the strong men? Where are their parents, wives and children?" Lin Chunhong continued to pretend to be an idiot and asked.

Tan Jiexi was very impatient with Lin Chunhong asking about some useless things and replied: "If you can run from Shaanxi and Henan to Zhijiang, of course, many of them are strong and strong. Those old, weak, sick and disabled are probably dead."

"Oh? Alas, people's livelihood is difficult, so many people are dead on the road. Wouldn't that be covered with bones all the way? Cao Cao wrote a poem: White bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. It's so miserable, it's so miserable! 50% of the strong men, once there is a civil war, like Dangyang, it's over. Have you heard of the tragic situation of Shen Wenrui and Song Haitao? That's so miserable. At that time, I arrived at the county government office, and my heads were hung on the wall of the county government office, with empty eyes..." Lin Chunhong knew that these two old guys wanted Lin Chunhong to take the initiative to propose solutions, and then naturally threw the burden to him, so he kept making trouble.

The tragic situation between Shen Wenrui and Song Haitao made Bao Zhedong and Tan Jiexi shudder. Bao Zhedong could not watch Lin Chunhong continue to pretend to be idiots, and interrupted him: "So, Lin Dianshi has to think of a way. If it stirs up a civil unrest, the so-called "no eggs left after the collapse of the nest, everyone will be finished together."

"What good way can I do? How long can I raise more than 5,000 people with one thousand stone of grain? Besides, there is no resettlement and cannot be repatriated. I have to keep it." Lin Chunhong spread his hands and said.

This refusal made Bao Zhedong and Tan Jiexi quite dissatisfied. Tan Jiexi couldn't help but charge forward and said, "People in Jingzhou and Yiling know that Lin Dianshi is rich and rich, and money is like flowing water. Recently, I heard that Lin Dianshi still lacks workers in logging wood, and building river embankments in Bailizhou still lacks civilians. Why not recruit these people? On one hand, it gave refugees a way to live, and on the other hand, it solved the big problem for Zhijiang. Why not do it without pleasure in both the court and himself?"

Lin Chunhong said with a bitter face: "Everyone looks at me, but no one knows that last time Chen He lowered the price to sell wood, I lost nearly 100,000 taels of silver! Lord Bo didn't say that logging was okay, but I was angry as soon as he said that, the natives didn't let me log there at all. Now there are hundreds of people in my place who have nothing to do! Building a river embankment is a matter of Zhijiang County, so how can I have the ability to build it? It's just a rumor!"

Bao Zhedong and Tan Jiexi were both a little angry. I treat you as a dish and discuss the affairs of refugees with you. You are crying and pretending to be stupid. What do you think of us? Bao Zhedong said angrily: "If you have any difficulties in Lin Dianshi, just raise it directly? Don't beat around the bush!"

Seeing that the fire had arrived, Lin Chunhong smiled and took out a land contract and said, "There are currently 53,400 acres of arable land in Bailizhou. I want to build the river embankment. The sandy land on the tidal flats is about 178,000 acres. After the river embankment is repaired, more than 160,000 acres of thin land will be obtained. I hope my parents will have an official deed!"

Bao Zhedong and Tan Jiexi took the contract and saw that their faces turned green. They kept cursing Lin Chunhong: This kid is too dark. By relocating refugees, he actually wanted to take more than 160,000 acres into his hands. He wanted to divide a spoon, but he thought that repairing the river embankment was not just a joke, and he had to invest at least hundreds of thousands of taels. Moreover, when the flood came in summer, it was still a matter of whether the river embankment could block the flood.

Bao Zhedong shook the contract and said, "Lin Dianshi is planning to take all more than 5,000 refugees to the river embankment?"

Lin Chunhong shook his head and said, "Without food, how could I raise so many people? I will recruit up to 30% of them!"

Bao Zhedong and Tan Jiexi exchanged glances and said, "If you recruit 50% of them, the remaining 50% will have more than 1,000 stones of grain, and you can still last more than a year. In the future, some wealthy families donate part of it. Lin Dianshi, do you think this is OK?"

Lin Chunhong cried and secretly rejoiced in his heart, saying, "Please have an order from your parents, can your subordinates not enforce it? It's just that it has made me suffer. Oh, it's not easy!"

When he returned to his residence, Lin Chunhong immediately asked Xiao Daizi to send an order, asking Zhou Wang, Zheng Tiancheng, Zhang Zhao, Li Chengzong and Li Chongde to come to the county town to see him, saying that there was something important to do. The next day, Zhou Wang and others rushed to the county town. They heard that the official deed of the tidal flat in Bailizhou had been obtained, and they were all very happy. When they discussed the plan to spend money last time, they decided to build the river embankment, but the official deed was not obtained, and everyone was hesitant for fear that the cooked duck would be obtained by others. Now that the official deed was obtained, it was just right to do something.

Lin Chunhong also introduced the matter of refugees, and asked Li Chengzong to recruit craftsmen from refugees. No matter what craftsmen, as long as they have a skill, even those who can build a cottage, would be recruited; Zhang Zhao would recruit ship workers who were skilled in boats; Zhou Wang would recruit people with strong health and innocent family affairs to join the guards, especially those who had joined the border army; Li Chongde would recruit talents who could handle finance and competent positions such as clerks. Zheng Tiancheng would choose the remaining people to be strong and act as laborers to build river embankments, and asked Zheng Tiancheng to purchase food for two or three thousand people.

When Zheng Tiancheng heard this, he said with a bitter face: "It is not a good time to purchase grain at this time. Besides, there is a shortage of grain everywhere, and the price of grain has risen to 2,500 cents per stone. Two thousand people have to work and consume more grain. It costs at least 1,000 stone a month, which is more than 2,000 taels of silver, not counting firewood, rice, oil and salt. Moreover, the 2,000 people who are building the river embankment are not enough, and it takes at least 50,000 people to work for two years before the completion of the construction."

Li Chongde also nodded and said, "Tiancheng is right. If you buy grain now, it is simply priceless. Even if you are willing to pay a high price, it is still a question whether you can buy it!"

Lin Chunhong didn't expect that the grain problem was so serious. He was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to do. After a long time, he asked Tiancheng: "How much grain does our Changping Warehouse have?" Lin Chunhong currently has thousands of people. In order to cope with the emergencies, he built a "Changping Warehouse" in Bailizhou.

"According to the original plan, all the grains that can be purchased were only 8,000 shi, and now the stock is only 6,500 shi!"

When Lin Chunhong heard this, he felt a sudden heart. Now he is supplying all the meals for thousands of people for free. Once food is short, the consequences will be unimaginable. Alas, in the early stage, I only focused on doing business, so why did I forget the problem of eating? Now the workers and guards are centrally managed, and it is impossible to distribute silver instead of meals.

Lin Chunhong sat down on the chair dejectedly and murmured: "What should I do? I can't let everyone be hungry!"

After hearing this, everyone's face turned gray and miserable. Only Zhou Wang smiled and said, "There is no such serious thing. The grain is not just rice and wheat. Now the local people have too many sweet potatoes and corn. It is not difficult to buy it at a slightly higher price. Besides, eating more meat and oil and meat is consumed less. The local people have a lot of bacon in their hands by the end of the year, so it's enough to buy more. Those who are almost starving to death are not too happy to eat this!"

Zhou Wang also reminded Zhang Zhao, who said, "Huguang has many rivers and lakes, so how can you starve to death? It's so easy to catch fish in the water for a long time if you're really hungry. Now we can also send some people to catch fish specifically. After marinating it with salt, it's good to preserve it. Doesn't Tiancheng still have 30,000 stones of salt in his hand? It can be used to make salted fish." After Chen He escaped, Zheng Tiancheng spent 90,000 taels of silver to buy salt in his hand from Guan Renmei.

Zheng Tiancheng was happy when he heard this and shouted, "With salted fish, we can ship it to other places to sell it. This is a profitable transaction. By the way, Boss Lin, as long as we can get salt and private salt, we can sell salt by selling salt. Wow, that's a lot of money!"

Zheng Tiancheng's dancing hands made everyone roll their eyes. Li Chengzong said, "Do you think the government is an idiot and will you watch you sell salted fish?"

Lin Chunhong smiled and said, "The government is not an idiot, but he will turn a blind eye. Let's talk about this later. The most urgent task is to make grain. Xiao Daizi immediately drafted a document and ordered Yuezhou, Yiling and Qingjiang Sanhuo Store to purchase grain, including sweet potatoes, corn, etc., bacon and wild game, and they are all shipped to Bailizhou for storage."

Little Daizi responded, and Lin Chunhong continued: "There are only 50,000 mu of Bailizhou that have purchased more than 8,000 stones of grain. This is too little. There are nearly 20,000 mu of land that are deserted. It's a pity. I want to recruit people to farm, but I can't find so many people at the moment. Think about it, what good way is there?"

Li Chongde curled his lips and said, "Yes, no food is stable. It is true that money is fast when doing business. I felt inappropriate before, but Boss Lin didn't pay attention to it. Now it's considered a loss of money, and it's not too late!"

Lin Chunhong didn't mind Li Chongde's criticism at all. This was his fault. He used to think that with money, he couldn't buy much food? Now he has truly realized the importance of food. Sometimes food can't be bought.

For a moment, everyone, with the mentality of not flowing away from outsiders' fields, had an idea of ​​the arable land under Lin Chunhong.

Afterwards, several people went to Anfu Temple to recruit refugees. No one had ever seen a large-scale refugee. After entering, they were deeply shocked.

What environment do refugees live in? The low shack does not even have the most basic function of sheltering from rain. It is dark and wet inside. There are some simple pots and basins, and there are no water intake facilities. They are all directly fetching water in the river. Outside the shack, sewage flows everywhere and garbage is everywhere. If it weren't for the beginning of winter, it would have been mosquitoes. The refugees are all thin and are catching lice and basking in the sun. What is even more terrifying than thin is their desperate eyes. With the arrival of Lin Chunhong and others, people keep pulling children to sell, saying that the uncle is okay, okay, the child can't go on with us, begging him to give him a way out. Lin Chunhong looked at these children and felt even more excited, and immediately ordered Xiao Daizi to cook porridge with the rice and grain he brought for refugees to drink.

Outside the slum, a large number of archers gathered to prevent any refugees from making ill-conspiracy. Seeing Lin Chunhong being surrounded by refugees, holding a spear and constantly scolding and driving away, Lin Chunhong quickly stopped the rude behavior of the archers.

When the pot of porridge was set up, the refugees were immediately attracted, their eyes turned green, making people unable to bear to look at it anymore. Seeing Lin Chunhong's sympathy, Zhou Wang touched him and said, "Don't change the plan, we don't have the ability to manage so many things." Lin Chunhong then suppressed his agitation and ordered everyone to do things according to the original plan.

So, the guard team brought by Zhou Wang immediately ran to the middle of the refugees, beating the gong and shouting about recruiting people. After drinking porridge, the refugees immediately surrounded Zhou Wang and others, making the few people busy. The refugees had no one to organize and had no habit of queuing up, and they squeezed into a group everywhere. Some did not even understand what Zhou Wang and the others were going to do. They only heard recruiting people, and they squeezed over, making Lin Chunhong shake his head in a hurry. The unorganized people are the most terrible. It is estimated that once someone calls him, he can eat enough in some place and follow him immediately, and he will not care whether he will be beheaded. It is estimated that this is the chaotic people in Shanxi, Shaanxi, the organizational ability of this government is really poor. When you meet a responsible official, you can prevent these hungry people from starving to death and becoming chaotic people. If you meet an inaction official, it will inevitably become a rebel.

On the third day, more than 1,600 strong men were recruited, with their families, and more than 3,000 people, headed from Anfu Temple to Dong City, and took a boat to Bailizhou. Lu Shiyuan of Bailizhou had already begun to build wooden simple houses for these refugees to live in at Lin Chunhong's instructions. In the process of organizing refugees, Xiao Daizi performed very well. He organized the ten refugees into a group, designated one person to be responsible, and arranged an escort.

The team was escorted, and each eight groups were formed into a team, and one person was appointed to be in charge. He only cared for more than ten people. Although the refugees were in chaos, under his arrangement, there was no trouble. They walked properly, got on the boat, and rested... Everyone was very satisfied with Xiao Daizi. Lin Chunhong pointed at Xiao Daizi and smiled and said, "General Dai, I will take office tomorrow, and the civilians who repaired the river embankment will be under your control!" It made Xiao Daizi a little at a loss.
Chapter completed!
