Chapter 233 Chizhou Victims

"I really sent a pillow." There were tens of thousands of refugees who asked Sun Yu to take over. This matter seemed to be a burden to others, but Sun Yu seemed to be a wealth. Sending this group of people to the Daliuqiu Island directly resulted in a county population. As long as the initial supply of materials keeps up, two years later, he will be able to be self-sufficient.

"Sir, what good thing is it? I laugh like this?" The evil dog asked curiously, why did his adult smile a little differently than usual.

"The flood in Chizhou is caused by tens of thousands of people, and your Majesty asked my loyal and brave army to resettle. This matter is really wonderful." In the first half of the year, taking advantage of the war in Jingchu, Sun Yu secretly took advantage of the boss's efforts, but he got thousands of people. Now, there are tens of thousands of victims at once. I don't know how much disaster is in Chizhou, and whether there is a way to expand the population.

"Isn't this a matter of spending money? I thought His Majesty gave me silver." The evil dog shook his head. How much money would these tens of thousands of victims have to spend? I guess Mr. Xu knew that he had to cry bitterly. The Marquis was so happy.

"There is no one under his command, and he only has money, so he is useless. By the way, Lao Cheng, please take a break here. I will ask Ye Heng to select personnel again. If I have an urgent matter, I will go back to Jianzhou first." Sun Yu decided to go north to Chizhou in person, and no matter how he wanted to get more people back.

"Oh, by the way, let that person go back and let that person be the injured official, named Qi Jun, do the work of the county magistrate first, get better and do not do it well, but change people." This person has a righteous heart and suffered this time, so Sun Yu decided to give him a chance.

Sun Yu first sent someone to Quanzhou and Zhangzhou with his letters, and handed them over to the governors of the two places, and began to hoard grain and transport it to Daliuqiu Island. After these victims landed on the island, they had to provide the staple food by themselves within a year. This was indeed a big test. Six stones of grain per capita would cost one million stones. Sun Yu's current territory still felt a lot of pressure.

A few days later, Xu Yi frowned at the governor's office of Jianzhou.

"Mr. Marquis, didn't you say you could be more abundant this year?" Xu Yi also pointed out that he had some relaxed life this year, and now he assigned a task of 300,000 stone.

"Well, haha, the plan cannot keep up with the changes. Sir, look, this Daliuqiu Island is our back and retreat. If this is not developed, we can't be a savage. Let's just endure hardships, the child is still young." Sun Yu felt a little embarrassed. Since Xu Yi followed him, the money and food have been in short supply. I thought that after the autumn harvest this year, I could live a more relaxed life. The granary in Quanzhou has begun to be built, but this year I guess I can't save food.

"Oh, okay, grit your teeth again." When Xu Yi heard this, he made more than 100,000 people. Even if the territory was lost, it would be good to be an island owner. He farmed during busy farming and fished in his spare time. He heard that the island was quite large and all developed to support millions of people.

"Well, 300,000 is not necessarily enough." Sun Yu touched his nose. The million grain was calculated based on the population of about 150,000, but he felt that he could still fight for it.

"Mr. Marquis, what are your ideas?" Xu Yi held his forehead with his hands. If he added more, I'm afraid that someone in Jianzhou would not be able to eat enough.

"This is a rare opportunity. If you operate it locally and add some more, it is OK." If you say hello to local officials and promote it again, I believe those

Anyone with no land must be moved.

"Mr. Marquis, tell me, how many people are going to get back?" Xu Yi felt that with Sun Yu's current status and means, and with money, this matter could really be accomplished. He didn't dare to be noticed by the court before, but now he directly intervened in the refugees. It would be a smooth progress and no one could find out. When he turned around and sent it to the island, there would be no trace. If he hadn't been afraid of the ugly appearance, Sun Yu would have thought of directly grabbing people.

"Depending on the situation, the more the better." Sun Yu felt that the base was large, and he had to eat braised vegetables and live some hard life. But as long as he survived until next year, he might have a surplus on the island. After all, the land that had not been developed must be extremely fertile, and close to the equator, with sufficient light, and food must be highly productive.

"Subordinate, try to make as much as possible." Seeing that Sun Yu had made up his mind, Xu Yi had no choice but to think of ways and collect more. He didn't know what the weather was going on later. If he could get a good harvest, he would always be more brisk.

All the officials of Chizhou were taken to Jiangning Prefecture and were tried by the Third Division. Now the governor of Chizhou was reselected by the Ministry of Personnel. He was previously appointed as the Minister of Rites, named Gong Qixia.

Speaking of which, Gong Qixia passed the imperial examination at the age of 32. Because of her family background and no choice, she was transferred to the Qingshui Yamen of the Ministry of Rites. She worked for more than seven years and was about to welcome the eighth place in the Ministry of Rites. She actually made a turn for the future and got the opportunity to release her.

I still remember that day, Sun Ju, the Minister of Rites, called himself to his room and told him that only 10,000 taels would be allowed to be sent to the governor of a state. Gong Qixia sold out all his land in Jiangning and his hometown, and raised more than 3,000 taels. All the rest came to the bank to borrow money, because he knew that if he missed this time, he would probably have no chance in his life.

A real-powered official like the governor of a state, who is not even 30,000 to 50,000 taels at a time, wouldn't even think about it. Gong Qixia knew that there must be something strange about it, but he couldn't control it, so he would take up the seat first.

"Sir, this food is not much." Just when Gong Qixia was stunned, He Zhiqian, Sima of Chizhou next to him, asked. He Sima was basically under the condition of being under penalized for retirement. He was probably going to be an official in two years, and he escaped the disaster.

"Have the food from the court not arrived yet?" Gong Qixia was very distressed. The granary in Chizhou was empty, and there was not much money left. The court's disaster relief supplies had not been in place. If he had known that the situation in Chizhou was so bad, he might not have the courage to spend 10,000 taels here.

"It's probably coming soon, and there are three days at most. However, the victims can't wait. If something goes wrong, they can't deal with it." He Sima was also anxious and wanted to retire smoothly. If there was a real civil rebellion, it would be fine if it was not exiled.

"Go to the big city and grain merchants and borrow a batch?" It was because of the borrowed batch of grain that I had some rice grains in the porridge soup.

"The price of grain has soared, and it has doubled. They are all pointing to selling at high prices, and they are unwilling to borrow it." How could He Sima not know what these grain merchants are thinking? They borrowed a little before, just to block the government's mouth. If all the grains were borrowed by the government, they would pay them back when the imperial court's grain arrived and they would make a lot of money.

"It's all a bunch of unscrupulous businessmen, I want to kill him quickly." Gong Qixia stomped his feet. He was an official, and only a few businessmen dared to make things difficult for his career?

“Oh,

My Governor, I must not think so. Nowadays, who can do grain trading has no connection with the world? Only our arm can't twist their thighs." He Zhiqian was stunned. Why was he a fool? If you are so easily taken down by you, they dare to make excuses to refuse. Since they don't sell their face, they are confident.

"Then, let's just watch this?" Gong Qixia was depressed. The governor had the final say in this place, why could not even handle a grain merchant? Besides, if you just wait like this, the seat he received for this ten thousand taels might not be able to be saved and would be wasted.

"It's better to buy some at a high price first, then find a way to make up for it." He Zhiqian had no choice. This person was obviously not good at it. If he had been a few years earlier, he would have to use his brains to make him useless and use him as a decoration. Now that it's not possible, even if it's empty, he will retire and make others cheap.

"Then, please, Lord He." Gong Qixia had no choice but to pass the level in front of her.

"This is what the subordinate should do, but this IOU must be stamped with a private seal. The government seal is stamped with a large seal, but people do not recognize it..." He Zhiqian's meaning is very clear. I can do things, but you have to bear the responsibility. After all, you are the official seal of a state, and you are just a mess.

"This matter, hey!" Gong Qixia had no choice but to take out a paper and pen, write a 3,000 taels of IOU, and stamped his private seal. The 3,000 taels of grain bought in the silver was barely enough for two days to cook porridge. If the imperial court's food was less than two days later, he would probably have to write an IOU. As the governor, he was already in debt of 10,000 taels.

"Report to the governor, a large group of cavalry appeared outside the city gate, from the loyal and brave army, and the leader was Zhenhai Hou." The guard at the gate rode all the way to the governor's mansion to report. Now there are too many refugees outside the city, and they all hurried inside the city and did not dare to go out at all. They just made a rough confirmation at the top of the city.

"Marquis Zhenhai? Sun Yu, the governor of the Zhongyong Army, actually came here in person. Let's go and have a look!" When Gong Qixia heard this, she immediately smiled happily. The burden could be thrown out soon.

Sun Yu stood outside the city and looked around. It was surprising that all the victims were here. There were no officials or soldiers who maintained order outside the city, and there was no big trouble.

Just as Sun Yu was waiting, bags of grain were put down from the city along the hanging basket. A group of strong men came forward and took over the grain. Then a batch of them were placed in front of each big pot. As these people maintained order, the whole camp gradually smelled of porridge, men, women, young and old, stood up one after another, and lined up in front of the big pot.

"Da Qiu, go and inquire who is the leader here, and bring me here." There were too many victims this time. In order to maintain order, Sun Yu specially brought Zhang Daqiu and his law enforcement camp. They are good at this matter. But unexpectedly, there is still a certain organization among the victims, which is easy to deal with. As long as you take down this person, it will be easy enough along the way.
