North Song

Chapter 330: The refugees are making trouble

Views:

He saw more and cared more than Chen Jing.

"You plan to go back to farm in spring?"

Kou Ji stared at Wang Tiansheng and Chen Jing with questions.

Wang Tiansheng and Chen Jing looked at each other and shook their heads together.

Kou Ji was a little surprised: "It is said that people rely on food as their heaven, but you don't want to go back to farm?"

Chen Jing rubbed his hands, his wrinkled face squeezed into a ball, and said with a wry smile: "Of course the little old man knows that food is the heaven for the people, and that farming is what we ordinary people should do.

It's just that a flood made us become wealthy.

Even in the spring, the court told us to go back to plant the fields, but we would have to wait until autumn to get the harvest.

But from spring to autumn, during this period, we can't live it. "

Chen Jing looked back at the tent not far behind him, and sighed: "At that time, I don't know how many people will need to sell their children and girls to get a ration. If you don't keep everything, you will..."

Having said that, Chen Jing couldn't continue.

Wang Tiansheng added with a heavy face: "Eat bark, chew tree roots, gnaw Guanyin soil... Eat human flesh..."

Chen Jing sighed, and an ugly smile was squeezed from the old cheeks, and said to Kou Ji: "Our Song Dynasty is much better than that of the Zhou Dynasty..."

Kou Ji was stunned, not understanding what Chen Jing meant.

Wang Tiansheng frowned and said to Chen Jing: "Those compliments to the court do not need to be said in front of the Kou Industry Department.

The Kou Industry Department is different from other officials. "

Chen Jing was stunned, smiled dryly, and nodded.

Only then did Kou Ji react, what Chen Jing said just now was a scene.

Kou Ji smiled calmly: "In front of the official, there is no need to be cautious or flattering."

Chen Jing arched his hands and said: "What the Kou Engineering Department taught is..."

Kou Ji nodded and continued: "According to the imperial court, I will give you a ration to support you until next spring."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jing and Wang Tiansheng's expressions changed.

Kou Ji smiled and said: "But you don't need to worry, I have already asked you from the court."

Chen Jing and Wang Tiansheng were stunned when they heard the words, and looked at Kou Ji in amazement.

Chen Jing asked cautiously: "After the spring, the Kou Industry Department intends to support us?"

Before Kou Ji could speak, Wang Tiansheng's mouth twitched and gave Chen Jing a glance, but did not speak.

He felt that Chen Jing was a little whimsical.

With the financial resources of the imperial court, they are only willing to support them until next spring.

Kou Ji can still be richer than the court

Can support them for more than half a year

Chen Jing was stared at by Wang Tiansheng, and realized that he had said something wrong, with an unnatural expression on his face.

Kou Ji didn't care, but smiled and said, "It's not impossible to provide for you."

Chen Jing and Wang Tiansheng's eyes widened for an instant, as if they had heard something unbelievable.

Wang Tiansheng reminded in a deep voice: "Among us, there are more old and weak women and children than young and strong..."

Wang Tiansheng is reminding Kou Ji that more than half of their refugees cannot do anything to help Kou Ji.

Kou Ji laughed in a low voice: "It won't get in the way..."

Chen Jing and Wang Tiansheng looked at each other with shock.

The two of them pondered for a long time, suppressing their shock, and said to Kou Ji: "Since the Kou Industry Department is willing to support all of us, then we naturally listen to the Kou Industry Department."

Kou Ji pretended to be joking and said, "I'm afraid that I have supported you for more than half a year. When you are going to use you, you will have to go back to farm."

Chen Jing and Wang Tiansheng looked very ugly when they heard Kou Ji's words.

Kou Ji's worry is not unreasonable.

The vast majority of the refugees, their ancestors for generations have lived on cultivated land.

Cultivated land has penetrated into their bones. In the hearts of many of them, farming life is far more practical than any other life.

Chen Jing gritted his teeth and said: "As long as the Kou Industry Department can give us a long-term livelihood, Xiao Laoer will do his best to let more people stay."

Wang Tiansheng didn't promise anything. He just said, "The students will try their best to persuade the people to stay..."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little heavy, Kou Ji grinned, "It is too early to say this. We have not yet settled all the victims. After we have settled all the victims, we will discuss this issue.

Chen Jing and Wang Tiansheng seemed to be relieved, the expressions on their faces became more natural, and they nodded together.

Kou Ji waved his hand, "Go back and rest... Tomorrow we will accept more victims."

Chen Jing and Wang Tiansheng agreed, and went back to sleep in their tents.

Kou Ji ordered the servants to lead the selected young men to do a good job of patrolling.

Then, he took Cao Tong back to the place where the grain and grass were piled.

In the next few days, with the continuous influx of refugees, food will become the focus of the refugees, as well as the focus of Kou Ji and others.

There are countless grains distributed by the imperial court, which can only allow the refugees to eat two meals a day, each with a bowl of gruel.

There will certainly be many people who cannot eat enough, and they will be worried about these foods.

So Kou Ji must guard these grains.

At the corner of the pile of grain, a tent was tied up with three beds in the tent.

One goes to Kou Ji, one goes to Liu Heng, and one goes to Cao Tong.

Entering the tent, Cao Tong sat down on his bed, stretched his waist, and asked Kou Ji curiously, "Fourth brother, why did you say that to Chen Jing and Wang Tiansheng?"

"That remark?"

"It's the words of the victims who ran back to farm. You have also said that it is too early to discuss the issue, why do you still have to discuss it?"

Cao Tong looked suspicious.

Kou Ji sat on the bed, took off his boots, shaking the dirt on his boots, and smiled: "Just give them an account in advance. Let them think about this in their hearts, read about this, and then help me go. Do this.

The victims have to read my good and think about doing things for me.

Otherwise, after the beginning of the spring next year, the court asked them to go back to their hometowns to plant the land. Haven't they all gone

Will I be in vain by then? "

Cao Tong admired: "The fourth brother is thinking really long-term... Now that the victims have not been properly settled, the fourth brother, you think about the problem of the victims going to stay in the future."

Kou Ji took off his coat, opened the quilt on the bed, and lay in.

After covering the quilt, he said to Cao Tong: "Go to sleep... Starting tomorrow, we may become very busy. It will not be easy to get a good night's sleep at that time."

Cao Tong agreed, and just like Kou Ji, took off his boots and coat, and lay in the bed.

After lying down, Cao Yu called the yamen who stood guard outside the door to come in and blew out the candles in the tent.

In the middle of the night.

Liu Heng came back from Bianjing, got into the tent and fell asleep on the bed.

The next day.

Before dawn.

Li Di sent a group of refugees.

The three of Kou Ji got up and rubbed their faces, woke everyone up, and began to resettle the refugees.

With the help of Chen Jing, Wang Tiansheng and other elders and villagers, as well as the first batch of refugees led yesterday, Kou Ji and others didn’t need to do anything. The refugees consciously started to wash, drink medicine, and work.

The walls rammed with wet soil are pulling up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

By the evening of the second day, the walls of the first batch of houses had already taken shape.

The firewood and hay collected by the women have been piled up into hills.

The clothes washed by the women are in a row after another.

Some people who were waiting to watch Kou Ji's jokes, after sending people to observe the resettlement of the refugees, left the gate of the North City in disappointment.

Kou Ji not only made no mistakes in resettling the refugees, but did an unprecedentedly better job.

At least, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, none of the many examples of resettling refugees can be compared with Kou Ji.

After nightfall.

There was a dispute.

The cause was that the two women had a dispute because they snatched a wooden bowl. In the end, the husbands behind the two sides attacked each other and wounded others.

Kou Ji and others rushed to the scene immediately.

Chen Jing, Wang Tiansheng and the others made a unanimous decision to kick the two families out of the place where the refugees were staying.

But Koj did not do that.

He first comforted the two arguing women and the crying child hiding aside, and then he asked the doctor to take action to treat the injuries of the two men who did it.

Finally, Liu Heng sent the two of them to a windowless house to recuperate.

Since the injuries of the two are not serious, they plan to let them rest in the house for three days.

The refugees were very convinced and approved of Kou Ji's judgment.

Ever since, there were three or five fist fights in succession that night.

Kou Jiji adopted the original treatment method and sent them to recuperate.

In the hearts of some victims who like sneaking and rape, Kou Ji's approach is not only not punishing them, but providing them with opportunities for laziness in a disguised form.

Chen Jing, Wang Tiansheng and others have repeatedly persuaded him, but Kou Ji has not adopted it.

After the fight, people still deal with people in this way.

After returning to the tent at night.

Liu Heng questioned Kou Ji with incomprehension, "Fourth brother, if you do this, you won't be able to punish people at all. Those victims of disasters will only regard this as a way to escape from work, so as to be lazy."

Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng and said calmly, "When did you see me doing useless things?"

Cao Tong curiously asked, "Fourth brother, what other intentions do you have for doing this?"

Kou Ji asked Liu Heng to move a brazier, put it in a tent, and said calmly: "Why is it that a small country with few people is far better controlled than a big country? It's because the more people, the more things, the more trouble, and the more friction.

The number of victims resettled here has exceeded 30,000.

If 30,000 victims are piled up together, it is easy to have conflicts and fights are inevitable.

So this kind of thing cannot be eliminated at all.

Even if you pull them all out to play the board, it's bloody.

When they go back to heal their injuries, they will make trouble. "

Liu Heng said fiercely, "Then cut it all off!"

Kou Ji and Cao Tong looked at him in astonishment.

Liu Heng hummed, "Is it wrong? I still don't believe it. Are they afraid of death?"

Cao Yu added a piece of charcoal to the brazier, and said contemptuously: "You think the victims are servants of your Liu Mansion. You can kill them if you want?"

Kou Ji reminded: "Outside the city of Bianjing, at the feet of the emperor, they are all agricultural, protected by court laws, and the Manchu civil and military are all staring at them. As long as they don't kill them, you can't kill them."

Cao Yu took Kou Ji's words and said: "If there are homicides in various places, local officials are not qualified to execute prisoners without authorization. Prisoners need to be escorted to Bianjing City. After the Bianjing City is audited, they can only be executed in the autumn.

During this period, whenever the prisoner complains of injustice, the court must send the case back for retrial.

And a murderer, during the nuclear trial, can complain twice.

The imperial court did this to the death row prisoners, not to mention the civilians.

If you really kill them without committing a murder case.

The censors will definitely impeach you. "

Liu Heng stared, "They disturbed the resettlement of the victims, shouldn't they be killed?"

Cao Yu opened his hands and said, "Although Gong Kou said on the Hanging Arch Hall that those who disturb the resettlement of the victims can be cut first and then played. However, the documents in the inner court were not issued to us. Instead, they were in the hands of Gong Li.

In other words, the only person who can cut first and then play is Gong Li. "

Liu Heng shouted: "There have been so many lives in the Jinshui River, and the court has not seen them pursue them."

Cao Tong closed his mouth and stopped speaking.

Kou Ji did not speak to help Liu Heng's confusion.

There were so many lives in the Jinshui River, because the identity of the people who were stuffed into the Jinshui River was different, and the identity of the people who rushed to the Jinshui River was also different.

Although the court has been advocating people-oriented, it has also formulated a series of people-oriented laws.

But it does not restrict everyone.

For example, some officials in the DPRK believe that sitting on a sedan chair is to treat people as animals and should be banned, but they themselves did not give up sitting on a sedan chair.

Liu Heng humbled his head and thought for a while, trying to understand the joints.

He raised his head and stared at Kou Ji and said, "Should we just let those thorns make trouble? If they stir up trouble, how can the victims get better?"

Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "That's not... Most of the victims are still very good. Just give them a bite to eat and let them do what they do. Those thorns are just a small group of people.

Now, it's time for the two of you to work hard. "

Kou Ji got up, bypassed the brazier in front of him, walked to the table in the tent, took out two pages of paper, and handed them to Liu Heng and Cao Tong.

"These are the rules that I have drawn up to manage the victims according to the laws of the court. Tomorrow, you two will dispatch your servants to manage the victims together with the village elders and clan elders.

Whenever there is a disturbance, I will deal with it according to the method I have dealt with before. "

Liu Heng read the instructions on the paper and frowned, "Fourth brother, you just locked them up and didn't teach them. Isn't this encouraging them to make trouble in a disguised form?"

Cao Tong took the paper and nodded: "The heaviest punishment is only for 15 days. If they want to be lazy, they only need to make trouble, fight, and then they can go to the house and stay comfortably. Change. Be me, I will make trouble."
