North Song

Chapter 328: Not terrible refugees

Views:

The laborers moved from noon to evening before they finished moving everything.

During this period, Kou Ji, Liu Heng and others were not idle either.

Kou Ji took the craftsmen of the mansion to clear a place in the mud, padded it with wooden boards, and began to build a large stove for boiling water.

Liu Heng took the people, took the walls of Ruisheng Garden, and used the bricks on the walls to create a huge pool.

Li Di went outside the North City Gate in the evening and saw Kou Ji leading the people to build a large stove and a pool. He asked doubtfully, "What's the use of repairing these things?"

Kou Ji handed the mud embryo in his hand to an artisan in the mansion, rubbed the mud on his hands, and said: "Boil water, soak the refugees to drive away the cold from their bodies, and wash them away. Filthy, so it’s not easy to get plagues."

Li Di heard that the large stoves and pools were built for the refugees and were used to prevent the plague, so he urged: "Then you should build more. Since you have taken the west wall of Ruishengyuan, then Simply strip the other three walls together.

The masonry above is enough for you to build several large pools. "

"The court will not blame? The officials will not be impeached?"

Kou Ji stared at Li Di suspiciously.

Demolition of the royal garden is a felony.

Had it not been for Liu Heng to have already done something to Ruishengyuan before he went outside the North City Gate, he would definitely not touch the things in Ruishengyuan.

Li Di stared, and shouted: "Take the role of the royal family to shelter the refugees, why not? If you really worry about the impeachment of the officials, you can push this matter to the old man, and the old man will do his best."

Kou Ji hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary..."

The reason why Kou Ji chased Li Di to ask about this clearly was because he was afraid that Liu Heng would get into trouble because of his private destruction of the royal garden.

Listening to Li Di say this now, it shows that the guilt of demolishing the royal garden is not heavy during the special period.

If this is the case, then he doesn't need to worry anymore.

Li Di snorted and yelled a few words to Liu Heng, who was leading the person who was smashing the wall not far away, and asked Liu Heng to call more people, hurry up, hurry up and build the sink and stove.

Seeing Li Di urging Liu Heng anxiously, Kou Ji noticed something. He approached Li Di and asked in a low voice, "The refugees are coming?"

Li Di sullenly, nodded and said: "The scout who went to investigate has returned. The first batch of refugees have already flocked to a place ten miles outside the city of Bianjing. Some people may come over overnight, but a large number of refugees should be tomorrow. Arrived in Bianjing City."

Kou Ji nodded solemnly, and asked, "The food hasn't arrived yet?"

When it comes to food, Li Di's face is even more ugly. "Those god-killers are all damned... It has been almost three days since the court's papers have been delivered, and their food hasn't arrived yet.

They don't know that if they delay for a moment, some refugees will die as a result. "

Just as Li Di gritted his teeth and cursed, Mu Chong wiped the sweat from his forehead, panted and walked in front of Kou Ji, arched his hands, and said: "Kou Engineering Department, the first batch of things have been removed.

The three of us won't stay here anymore, and we have to go back to urge the second and third batch of things. "

Kou Ji hurriedly bowed his hands and said: "I have work..."

Mu Chong didn't say much, he arched his hands to Kou Ji, he arched his hands to Li Di, and left outside the north gate of Bianjing City with his manpower.

Li Di looked at the back of Mu Chong and the others, frowning and said: "Are you using the power of merchants to help you settle the refugees?"

The Mu's business was big enough and it was a royal merchant, so officials in the DPRK had an impression of the Mu's.

Mu Chong has been living in Bianjing City recently to work on Jiaozipu. Li Di has met him once, so he knows his identity and background.

Kou Ji nodded and said, "Is that so..."

Li Di reminded in a deep voice: "The merchants are cunning and value profit over righteousness. You should cooperate with them and be careful that there is no bones left behind.

Kou Ji smiled calmly: "But they are fast enough. I asked them for something, and they delivered it to me soon."

Li Di pondered for a moment, and told Kou Ji: "Take the old man to see..."

Kou Ji nodded, and led Li Di around the pool and stove just built, to the place where the other party's goods were not far from them.

The first thing that catches the eye is that the neatly stacked wood, the wood is tied up by wet cowhide rope, piles together into one piece.

Behind the wood, there are square piles wrapped in leather blankets.

There are hundreds of neatly square piles.

Li Di looked at these things, stunned and stunned. He turned around and asked Kou Ji in confusion, "What's inside?"

Kou Ji stared at the square piles and said: "Medicinal materials, lime, stone, etc., are wrapped in cow and sheepskin blankets to prevent moisture... They are afraid that I will not have time to help the refugees build a place to live, and the family added 3,000 tents. "

"Medicine? Tent? Lime? Stone?"

Li Di dumbly repeated these four things.

Among the four things, any one is more difficult to collect than grain.

Li Di glanced at the square piles with a complicated expression, with his hands on his back, and left without saying a word.

After returning to the military tent at Nanchengmen, Li Di drafted a document and threw it into the palace.

The palace quickly gave a reply.

The 800 li at Duting Station rushed, and overnight the documents approved by the court were delivered to the grain supervisors who escorted grain and grass everywhere.

The content on the essay is very simple.

Due to the deadline, at five shifts tomorrow, the grain transport teams from all over the place must deliver the grain outside the city of Bianjing.

One hour later, cut over the grain officer.

Two hours later, General Huliang was killed.

Three hours later, he cut off his head and toe.

Five hours later, they all decided.

After the five-cutting order was issued to all the grain transport teams, the grain inspectors who escorted the grain and grass finally panicked. They did not dare to delay on the road any more, and they lit a torch overnight and escorted the grain to Bianjing.

When encountering large water blocking the road, or mud blocking the road, they simply carried the food on their shoulders by hand.

Li Di was stimulated at the North City Gate, and Kou Ji did not know about the Five Slash Orders after he returned.

After Li Di left.

Kou Ji approached the craftsmen sent by Meng Weizhong, and together with the craftsmen of Kou's Mansion, Cao's Mansion, Liu's Mansion, and Li's Mansion, he began planning the construction of houses in the open space at the northern gate overnight.

Due to the large number of refugees, it is impossible to stack them together, and it is impossible to build houses for them according to their heads.

Therefore, Kou Ji planned several areas and planned to house them separately.

The first to be set up was the tent. Before the house was built, the tent was a temporary shelter for the refugees.

The houses need to wait until the refugees arrive, and the young and strong are selected from them before they can be built.

But the area, Kou Ji has to plan first to avoid chaos.

In addition to building tents overnight, creating pools and stoves, the craftsmen also used mud embryos to create several places of reincarnation.

Kou Ji has been leading the craftsmen until the next morning, when the sun rises.

Li Di sent someone to tell Kou Ji, saying that it was the first batch of refugees who had arrived, and let Kou Ji make preparations.

Refugees from the south, east, and west will drink a bowl of hot porridge at the east, south, and west gates. After they warm their stomachs, they will be sent to the north gate where Kou Ji is.

The refugees from the north will be directly absorbed by Kou Ji.

There is also a porridge shed at the north gate, which is under the direct jurisdiction of Kou Ji.

The southwest is probably the place most severely affected by the floods, so the first to rush to the city of Bianjing was also the refugees from the southwest.

After begging for a bite at the west gate and south gate, the refugees were taken to the north gate.

When the first batch of refugees arrived outside the North City Gate, some of the people in Bianjing City, who were waiting to see Kou Ji's jokes, rushed to the North City Gate and stopped to watch.

Some princes and grandsons are still straddling horses, running back and forth on both sides of the refugees' ranks, seeming to be looking at something novel.

Kou Ji gave orders to Liu Heng and asked Liu Heng to take the people from the Imperial City Division and take them all down.

Under the guidance of an official, the refugee team arrived in front of Kou Ji.

Kou Ji looked at the refugees with mixed feelings.

They are not so badly dressed, most people have nothing, only some people carry things like pots and pans, others carry burdens with children sitting in them, and three or two people push wheelbarrows. Wife, children and mother.

Perhaps it was because they had drunk hot porridge at the gate of Nancheng before, so their complexion was ruddy, just a little dirty.

They are like scared rabbits, and they look scared when they see everyone.

He didn't speak, just opened his eyes and stared at you all together.

The only thing that people can remember at a glance is their white-eyed benevolence without any emotion.

Kou Ji walked to the refugees under the gaze of the refugees, and said loudly: "My official Kou Ji, Tim is in charge of the work of the Ministry of Industry, and is responsible for your daily necessities, food, housing and transportation.

Kou Ji's voice fell to the ground, and the refugees still looked at him blankly, no one spoke.

Kou Ji only continued: "When I reach the place under my jurisdiction, I hope you can abide by my rules."

The refugees still looked at him without speaking.

Kou Ji stared at them, and said, "Are there any clan elders or village elders among you?"

When Kou Ji asked the elders, there were some reactions among the refugees.

Two elderly old men, surrounded by the refugees, appeared in Kou Ji's eyes.

The two elders met Kou Ji and gave them a salute first.

One of the elders introduced: "Kou Industry Department, Xiao Lao Er is under the rule of Kaifeng Mansion, Xiangfu County, Xiaowang Township, Chen Jing, a clan of the Chen clan."

Chen Jing pointed to the refugees behind him and introduced Kou Ji: "Many of these people are from my Xiaowang Township."

Another old man introduced: "Kou Industry Department, the student is under the rule of Kaifeng Prefecture, Xiangfu County, Liwangxiang Township, Wang Tiansheng."

Wang Tiansheng pointed to the refugees behind him and said: "Among these people, most of them are people in Li Wangxiang who have been affected by the disaster."

Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully after hearing the introduction of the two.

He looked at Wang Tiansheng and questioned: "In front of the official, you claim to be a student, but you have a reputation?"

Wang Tiansheng looked arrogant, but said humblely: "There is no fame and fame. During the Chunhua period, Taizong Kai Enke was awarded a scholar, and the student was lucky enough to be selected in the Qiuwei of Kaifeng Mansion.

Kou Ji nodded slowly when he heard the words.

He instructed Chen Jing and Wang Tiansheng: "Since many of the victims of the disaster are people in the town where you two are located, then you two should cooperate with the officials and arrange them."

"Little old man (student) obeyed."

Kou Ji told Chen Jing and Wang Tiansheng about the process of resettlement of refugees.

After the two of them listened to it, they roughly repeated it to the refugees in extremely rough language.

The refugees just like to listen to the rough language of the two of them.

After the two of them explained to the refugees what Kou Ji did and what they wanted to do to help the refugees, the refugees looked at Kou Ji a little more convinced.

So, whether Kou Ji threw them into the lime-soaked pool or into the hot pool, they didn't complain.

After the refugees had washed, Kou Ji gave them some clean clothes and asked them to put on them, and then designated them a tent for temporary rest.

Those who contracted the disease on the way were sent to the doctor's tent for treatment.

Kou Ji was assigned to work for young and strong men and women who had no disease and no disaster.

The young and strong men followed the craftsmen to clean up the wood and rammed the earth into a wall (tied up with wooden pillars, leaving a certain distance, filling in the wet soil, and then beating it with human power to increase it a little bit to become a wall).

The young and strong women and women were arranged to mow hay and pick up dead branches and dead trees washed down by the flood.

There were also some women who were assigned to a pool to wash the clothes changed by the refugees. After they were dried, they were sewn and repaired and handed over to the next batch of refugees to wear.

Kou Ji found that, with the cooperation of Chen Jing and Wang Tiansheng, the refugees were surprisingly docile, provocative, gossiping, and complaining, very few.

Occasionally there are one or two gossips. Before Kou Ji could speak, Chen Jing and Wang Tiansheng would rush forward, give them a kick, and then pull out the eighteenth generations of their ancestors and scold them, and they couldn't hold their heads up.

Kou Ji asked Liu Heng and Cao Tong to bring the manpower to suppress the troubles among the refugees, but it was useless.

Li Di came here once halfway through the resettlement of refugees in Koj.

He escorted a batch of grain and handed it to Kou Ji.

He told Kou Ji how much time and how long the food should be provided to the refugees, and then left.

In fact, it is fake that he escorted food.

Come and see how Kou Ji resettles the refugees, it's true.

Seeing that Kou Ji used the village elders and clan elders among the refugees to properly arrange the refugees, he didn't say a word.

Because in his eyes, what Kou Ji did was far better than any disaster relief done by the court before.

He was convinced.

He just reminded Kou Ji in a low voice when he was about to leave, "The first group of refugees who rushed over was okay. They didn't have too much hungry for too much time, so it was easy to control. But later, the refugees were not so easy to control. Up.

Remember to deal with it carefully..."
