Chapter 322: Refugees are coming
I was excited for a long time before I found that Sister Qingxia was covering her pretty face with a shocked expression. Her pretty face blushed and caught up with the bottle of red ink placed on the table. Sweat, that, I was so excited just now that I actually kissed Sister Qingxia's pretty face fiercely.
Well... this is a sign of excitement. If a man gave me such an idea, I would pound his chest to express my feelings and gratitude. However, if I pound such a beautiful girl with such a beautiful girl, I believe that Sister Qingxia, who is one person who has five or six imperial guards, is likely to stuff my head into the stove.
So, expressing my gratitude to her in a more intimate way may be the best choice. At least I like this, of course I have such an interest in beautiful girls.
However, Sister Qingxia had already lowered her head and her pretty face turned redder. "Young Master, what do you mean is Qingxia's suggestion available?" Sister Qingxia did not seem to be angry, but instead asked such a question, which means that she could also accept my passionate expression.
"Of course, this is the best choice for dealing with this matter as I know. Thank you for giving me such a good idea." Looking at the charming and pretty face and full of shame, I felt as if I saw the flowers of spring blooming slowly in front of my eyes.
"Qingxia, Qingxia go and see if the water is boiled. You can do it first." Sister Qingxia said this with some trembling fear, lifted up her long skirt and ran out of the door. Looking at her slim back, she looked at the kettle that was obviously placed on the coal stove. The corner of the young master's mouth couldn't help but subconsciously curled up an evil curve. This beautiful girl was shy.
This shows that my master's sneak attack plan was successful. Well... well, it was an unintentional act that was too excited. However, this proves from another aspect that a passionate young man's yearning and pursuit of beautiful things represents the enterprising spirit of mankind and the harmonious view of society.
Seven days later, 1,200 crossbow horses and 600 good horses finally arrived in Hancheng County after a arduous journey. These 1,800 horses were released by me and I entered the valley. Seeing the horses running happily in the valley, I felt very comfortable.
With these horses, plus the six hundred good horses that I originally had, the number of horses I now have is enough for me to build an elite cavalry unit. These horses are not Mongolian horses, but the kind... Khan, I know, these good horses should belong to the Ilima, and they are much taller than Mongolian horses and Sichuan horses in the south.
Anyway, when I stood in front of the horse, I could only reveal half of my head. Based on my height of 1.7 meters, after calculating this, my back height must be at least about 1.5 meters. And those crossbows, based on the horse breeds that I admired in later generations, should be Mongolian horses.
It is relatively short and frustrating, but I know very well that Mongolian horses were also very awesome in later generations. However, they can only be loaded with light cavalry, and cannot be the choice of heavy cavalry. This young master prefers heavy cavalry wearing heavy armor and holding spears. Of course, light cavalry is definitely an elite division.
Or in the future, this young master will make a heavy cavalry team and a light cavalry team. Just when I was happy and erratic, Li Yuanfang ran over panting. "Young master, our horse shed is still not enough."
"No?" Looking at so many good horses and crossbow horses, my young master's happy mood instantly fell to the bottom. "How much is it missing?"
"As you tell me, crossbow horses are raised on the other side of the river, and good horses are raised here. Now, the horse sheds of good horses are almost the same, but those on the opposite side are at least three or one in a row." Li Yuanfang said with a sad face. "Our people are already working hard, but the problem is that although the materials are prepared very well, it takes a lot of manpower to transport them."
"It's okay, do it first. If it really doesn't work, just build a frame with wood and then build straw on it. Let's go through these days. Anyway, these horse sheds and houses that people live in will be rebuilt. It's okay." After thinking for a long time, I had to solve the problem in this way. Before I came here, I asked Zheng Ye and the others to prepare a lot of wood. Well, many of them were not yet clear.
But there is nothing I can do about this. I want to recruit refugees. Of course, the preparation of this batch of materials is naturally done in the name of building a dock.
Looking at these more than a thousand horses, I am full of energy, and those corps are also full of energy. In order to allow these horses to have winter huts in the shortest time, more than 200 corps took action together. It took less than half a day to build more than twenty greenhouses and stuff the remaining crossbows and horses into it.
"Zheng Ye doesn't know when he will come back. Young Master, we have too few people. If we continue to do this, I'm afraid I can't hold on." Li Yuanfang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a heavy breath.
"Well, yes, if I continue to do this, I will not wait for this young master to build Hancheng County into the paradise I hope, I am afraid we will all be exhausted first." This young master said with a look of regret. After thinking about it, he was helpless. "Wait a minute, I just hope that Zheng Ye can get someone earlier."
More than half a month has passed, but now this guy has not heard back yet, which really makes me speechless. But I think so, if you want to recruit refugees, in addition to spending money and food, you have to find a way, otherwise it would be bad if the local government would stop him.
So I gave Zheng Ye a huge sum of 150,000 yuan to let him go. Fortunately, Sister Qingxia's words made me understand the principle of doing things in a low-key manner. Fortunately, Zheng Ye left not long ago. Through the carrier pigeon, the old housekeeper sent someone to find Zheng Ye directly from Luoyang and told him.
However, since this, it will be difficult to do things as a private person, but if you do so, the safety is much higher. It seems that God heard my son’s call. That night, my son rushed back to the county town from the valley and received the news that the first batch of refugees would arrive in Hancheng County for more than 1,700 days at most. I hope I can prepare in advance.
After hearing this news, I took on the style of a county magistrate. Now, when officials come to discuss how to deal with the issue of more than 1,700 refugees, this is a big event, and it is a major event that has risen to a political level. Naturally, I cannot act arbitrarily. The most important thing is to let these guys know that I am actually forced to helpless.
"Disposses? More than 1,700 refugees?" Zhubo's voice was astonishingly loud, like the rooster whose syringe was stabbed into his wings by someone with a flu vaccine syringe. Everyone couldn't help but take a breath, and everyone's eyes fell on this young master.
"Yes, there are more than 1,700 refugees, what is the population of our Hancheng County? The total population is 47,471. So many people come in one go..." Yang Qiong frowned and murmured.
"Young Master, can you be sure that it is just a refugee, not a bandit?" Han Xiong took a deep breath, and knocked his fingers on the scabbard by his waist for a while before asking me. Well, I don't like others calling me Changsun County Magistrate, nor do I like others calling me Duke Qi. It feels like being called too old, so it's better to call me a young master.
"Well, this is the news that I got from Luoyang, the eastern capital." I put on a serious expression and glanced at the people in the hall very seriously. "You all think, how should we deal with it?"
"Your son, you are the head of a county, and you should decide this matter." The master's eyes turned and he quickly jumped out and was the first to express his attitude. Next, the book masters and others expressed all the principles of taking the Duke of Qi as their leader and obeyed the will of this master unconditionally. Of course, no matter what happened, I naturally had to be responsible for it.
"Young Master, this refugee is quite a bit. Otherwise, report to the court first and see how the court decides?" Han Xiong's suggestion was more cautious, but this was not what I needed. Although the master and the piao Shuzuo were shirking responsibility, it was just right for the young master's wishes.
"As long as we are not bandits, we should take responsibility as officials, and let them settle down first and report to the court. Otherwise, when the refugees arrive here, we will be unprepared. If we are determined to provoke them, how can we know if the refugees will become bandits?" Yang Qiong, who had been thinking for a long time, finally spoke up and threw out the idea.
"Mr. Yang's words are very reasonable. We cannot watch the refugees in Hancheng County without food and clothing." This young master nodded and smiled at Yang Qiong with relief. This guy is worthy of being a civil servant, at least this idea is very consistent with the current situation.
"Young Master is right, but I'm afraid the county's financial and material resources cannot be supported." The Lord Bo jumped out again, wrinkled his face and looked bitter. These words made everyone present feel a little sad.
This young master smiled confidently and glanced at this poor man. A sense of superiority rose from time to time. "Originally, I wanted to build roads and build factories in Hancheng County. Unfortunately, the local labor was insufficient. Now that there are refugees coming to Hancheng, it is suitable for it.
In order to reduce the troubles of our county, I paid the money. However, I am anxious and difficult to prepare for food and clothing. I hope you can inform the people in the county that I purchased the old clothes of the people in the county at the price of new clothes." After hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but take a breath.
