Liang Wei’s worries are undoubtedly redundant.

For the people of Houlianggouzi Town, who have nothing, they now have no other hopes except for the government's relief. Or because the land in Henan has been pacified for less than two years, there are still some ulterior motives who want to do something, but there are still hundreds of soldiers stationed here! Even though they don't bring weapons, as a well-trained army, even if they are bare-handed, they can beat them into pieces.

Now the court has paid money, and it has white hair. Not to mention some colorful things they have never seen before, even a wooden stick can be exchanged for something that can be eaten and worn.

When the shopkeeper of the Liu Family Warehouse was still placing a tent on this high ground, there was already a long queue outside. There were soldiers from the Right Jinwu Guard on duty here, and the team was quite neat.

When the people saw the food bags and various supplies unloaded from those mules and horses, the people were much calmer. There were many things, and the family only had one yuan, so they couldn't buy much, so everyone must have a share.

The most common ones are of course food. Secondly, they are clothing, bedding, pots, pans, needles, threads, etc.

A few door panels were placed on the ground, and the goods were yarded on top. With the shout of the shopkeeper, the transaction officially began.

As Hu Yang said, a pound of fine grains is 30 cents, and a pound of coarse grains is 20 cents. Other clothes and beddings are still more expensive. The people of Houlianggouzi actually did not react much to this price. First, this is the money for the government's white hair. One yuan is enough to buy fine grains. If the family is not very crowded, they can eat dry food. However, if the population is large, they can at least eat full with coarse grains. Didn't they say that they will pay more money tomorrow?

Of course, no matter whether it is a large population or a small population, they will use up all their money. Even if they can't eat it, they will be prepared for a little accumulation.

"Shopkeeper, I still have a few silver dollars here, and I want to buy some bedding and clothing." One of them stood in front of the shopkeeper and took out a silver dollar from his arms.

"Yes, but we can only find banknotes like you who paid the silver dollar. Is there any problem?" The shopkeeper had a kind attitude and said with a genuine smile.

A silver dollar is only one thousand yuan, and a bed of bedding will definitely be a lot left.

"Can't you find copper coins?" the man asked hesitantly.

"No." The shopkeeper shook his head firmly.

"How long will you stay here?"

"It's been a long time!" said the shopkeeper: "Maybe we will set up a branch in Houlianggouzi Town in the future."

"Buy!" Hearing this, the man immediately made up his mind that as long as the main person is still there, even if he is looking for the so-called money that he has never seen before, he can spend it.

The yuan issued by the court was only enough to buy food. Most people who had a few dollars in their pockets had to buy some other basic daily necessities. They used to buy money without any place, but now they can buy it, of course they still have to have it. Although the price has also risen sharply, some urgent things are not possible.

Not long after the one-yuan banknote was distributed, it was recycled again, but the shopkeeper found a lot of paper and ten-cigarette paper yarn. He took back dozens of silver dollars, and then more paper money was retrieved.

In the entire Henan, such scenes occurred almost at the same time in the disaster area. The issuance of new banknotes was first spread out on a large scale above the ground in Henan with the help of a disaster.

This is actually a matter of habit. When everyone begins to get used to such a payment method, everyone will accept such a thing calmly.

Everything was calm in Houlianggouzi Town, and Liangwei also let go of half of his heart. The people became stable, and the next step was to rebuild their homes.

"Brother Hu, I will ask you to help you more next." Liang Wei, the newly appointed Tun Chang, bowed to Hu Yang sincerely.

"We have received an order when we come here. No matter what, as long as you speak, we will help!" Hu Yang smiled and said, "Hundreds of young men have to find more things for them, otherwise they will not be able to vent their energy all day long, and something will be easy to get into trouble."

"The military discipline of our army is really nothing to say now!" Liang Wei said sincerely: "At the beginning, the fellow villagers in the town were all very scared."

Hu Yang laughed: "Next, is it necessary to rebuild Houlianggouzi Town?"

"Not good!" Liang Wei said: "Aren't I going to the county meeting today? Next, I will use labor instead of relief. This kind of white-haired money will last for another five days. The county said that the original place in Houlianggouzi Town was no longer available. Over the years, if there was a little flood, it would be affected. Since it was completely destroyed this time, I would just choose another site to rebuild it first. The location is above our current highland."

"First of all, the road must be opened!" Hu Yang said: "Otherwise, bricks, tiles and wood will not be able to enter."

"Yes, it takes the fastest time to open up the external transportation of Houlianggouzi Town. I will mobilize all the laborers in the entire town. In addition, Brother Hu, you have hundreds of people, so you can build a simple road and barely let carriages and other people come in. Others will organize them back to the old town to see what other materials can be used, and pick them out and reuse them." Liang Wei said: "The county said that for this reconstruction, each household can only subsidize 100 yuan, which is not enough. If you can save some, just save some!"

"I see that almost all the people here have nothing. What should I do if there is not enough money?"

"The money house provides loans! The interest rate is extremely low, and the annual interest rate is half a year!" Liang Wei said: "There is no choice but to lend money from the money house. Pay it back slowly in the future! The subsidy of each household in the imperial court is 100 yuan, which is nothing more than that. This has never been done in previous dynasties. The manpower required for reconstruction can be ignored. We can organize and help each other. The big end is actually just building materials."

The 100 yuan new banknote is basically the past ten taels of silver. If the construction of an adobe house is not counted as labor costs, twenty taels of silver can basically be settled. In other words, the government subsidies are half the amount, no wonder Liang Wei was satisfied, and the people thought that there was nothing to say.

"Then get moving!" Hu Yang said: "Help them settle their home earlier, so we'd better go back soon."

On the 30th day after the disaster, the reconstruction work of the entire disaster area began vigorously.

To this end, the imperial court allocated tens of millions of yuan in a very short period of time to provide pensions and treatments in the disaster area. According to the past price, it was millions of taels of silver.

Gao Xiangsheng tried to get three million taels back from Wang Yikun with great difficulty. Without even a splash, he spent all his money and the court even paid a lot of money.

Of course, if Gao Xiangsheng had not brought back this unexpected fortune, Li Ze would have been even more difficult.

Fortunately, although he invested so much, it was not without returns. The reconstruction of the entire disaster area was actually a big business. After the money was invested, the people were placed and given relief. The merchants earned real money and silver. The court returned a large amount of tax revenue. What Li Ze valued even more was that because of the post-disaster handling work, the court truly gained foothold in Henan and won the hearts of the people.

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Right Jinwu Guard left the barracks and put down their weapons. At this time, they were no longer representatives of violence, but transformed into fighters for rescue and disaster relief, and the patron saint of the people.

All the members of Yixing took the lead, and the officials came to the front line one by one, completely allowing the local people to realize that the current Tang Dynasty has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes in nature compared with the Tang Dynasty in the past.

Although the parents and officials were called this in the past, this time, the people truly realized what a parent and official should look like. Only then did they truly have an object that they could rely on.

In the north, Li Ze managed to manage for many years before the people truly recognized his rule. In Henan, he did not expect that a sudden natural disaster would make him realize this wish.

Water can carry a boat, but also overturn it, and can be recognized by the general public. This is the greatest praise for the court and the government. It is also the core element for them to consolidate their rule. It is difficult for a court that is not recognized by the people to gain a foothold for a long time. Violence can be taken advantage of for a while, but it cannot be successful forever.

This disaster also allowed the court to further test the response and governance capabilities of the entire bureaucratic system, the summarized experience and exposed disadvantages were presented to the desks of various departments and government departments at the first time. After it was carefully refined, it was sent to the desks of Li Ze and the chairman of various committees. A change and rectification within the bureaucratic system was immediately launched.

Xia He smiled happily. Her credit currency plan finally made a great start. In less than two months, the new banknotes were almost fully deployed in Henan.

Xu Xiang was also excited that the success of the credit and monetary policy means that he has greater room for implementation in his financial plan. Because Luoyang is still the commercial capital of the world at this time, with this fulcrum, it will be much easier to promote new banknotes.

For Li Ze, misfortune is based on good fortune, and good fortune is hidden. This time, this time it really corresponds to this sentence.
