132 Mass immigration
Yangzhou, after the start of the new year, the business of the various companies was very good, and many things were directly contracted by the Li family. Anyway, I don’t know what the Li family intends to do. They buy everything in large quantities. The big ones have carts, horses and cattle. The small ones have needles and needles, the large ones have food and cloth, and the small ones have arsenic poison. As long as you can buy them, the prices of all kinds of goods have risen by a lot.
For this reason, the new Yangzhou provincial governor, Zheng Lezhi, even asked about the matter, but was fooled by Li You on the grounds that the goods were shipped to foreign countries for sale. Zheng Yee knew that the reason for the problem was not the price increase of the product, but the quantity purchased by the Li family. The grain alone bought 100,000 shi, let alone other things. The quantity is surprisingly large. Yangzhou and several nearby counties are sold out.
In the courtyard of Li's house, where Li You lived, Yao Ping and Gouzi were both present. Today, Yao Ping came over to talk about the residents who moved to Liuqiu. This was originally nothing, and it was arranged long ago, but who knows that things will still change.
Originally, Yao Ping entrusted the three dental firms to deal with the matter. Not many people were willing to go, and only 500 people were willing to go in a year. All this is ready, and in a few days I will take the people to Liuqiu Nanwan by boat, but today, the treasurer Lin from Chuzhou Yahang rushed to Yao Ping and told Yao Ping that he had found a large number of people who were willing to go to Liuqiu. .
These people are all dragging their families. There are more than 700 households in total. The intermediary fee given by the Li family is two consistent with one household, plus heads. Otherwise, the treasurer of Chuzhou Yaxing will not come overnight to treat them. In other words, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a fortune.
"Yingzhou and Shouzhou are in Zhongzhou. Even if there is trouble, the government will not care about it, and let these people run around and form refugees. They are not afraid that thousands of people will lift the official hats on their heads. "Li You was also a little speechless.
"A Lang, what's the use of complaining? This was not originally due to the new governors of the two places. They are also the same as Zheng governors. They just took office. If you want to say it, you have to blame the former governor. But now it's too late to say that. Then again, these people are just for your use. You can accept them. I heard from the treasurer Lin that many of them are craftsmen."
This matter has to start in August last year. These refugees originally lived in a township and six different villages at the intersection of Yinghe and Huaihe Rivers, but they lived at the junction of the two states. The heavy rain that stopped for a few days caused the river to soar and destroyed the town and the six villages. Originally, I was still looking at the government's relief, but no one would recognize it. Yingzhou was pushed to Shouzhou, and Shouzhou was pushed to Yingzhou. The reason, to put it bluntly, was that they had been promoted in less than two months, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with this knot.
The two states did not completely ignore them. They also transferred out food and some money. Originally, these victims thought that the officials were in charge of them, but who would have thought that this was just to delay time. When the new governor took office, someone would be there. Taking over the mess, the governors of the two states still think so.
When the new governor took office, he discovered that the food and money used were from the state government treasury, so he hurriedly stopped the rescue. If this continued, the state government was in deficit, but there was no way to explain it. But when this stopped, the villagers in one village started to make trouble. For the new governor, it is much more important to protect yourself than to protect these victims.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on the new governor. To solve these refugee problems, they still need to go to the court and wait for the court’s rescue. But who ever thought, this is only a month, which makes the refugees unable to live and cause trouble. People even led people directly to the state capital to make trouble. With this trouble, all these troublemakers were taken into custody.
What the new governor of the two states did not expect was that as soon as the news that they had detained more than 200 people in the two states came out, more villagers came to make trouble. The reason is even more lamentable, that is, there is food in the prison. . In the end, I had to order all the people to be released.
Regardless of the officials, some daring ones began to slowly form thieves. For those helpless, the officials could only order an eradication. This was just before the New Year’s Day. This eradication came down and killed more than a hundred people. As a result, the remaining refugees began to find a way to survive in other states and counties, and then stayed in Yingzhou or Shouzhou. It is estimated that they could only starve to death.
When these people came to Chuzhou, Chuzhou Yaxing took action. While encouraging these refugees to migrate, while buying food and relief, they also asked them to return to their hometown to call the refugees to Chuzhou, where they can at least survive. At this time, the refugees had a way to survive, and Chuzhou was not so far away, so they went back to their hometowns and called for people to go.
At this time, most people came to Chuzhou. Although Yaxing guaranteed their food and drink twice a day, they spent a lot of money, but once they transferred these people to the Li family, this cost was simply a small amount of money, and it was not worth mentioning. Even if only some people are willing to go to Liuqiu, this business will not lose money. New Bayi Chinese website debut
The people in Yaxing are very inspiring. They talk about Liuqiu but the sky is full of flowers, and what Li You said to the room is just a good thing. But they all blow Liuqiu into a paradise. For these people who are struggling to survive, this is just right. It doesn't make much sense to go back to the hometown anyway. Most of the family members and friends are also there, and it doesn't matter much to seek a life. In this way, some people who took the lead signed the contract with the Yaxing. Slowly, more people joined it. Until the end, most people signed the contract with the Yaxing. Only more than fifty households were really reluctant to bear it. Away from hometown.
There are more than 700 households and nearly 3,000 people. This is something Li You never thought about. He didn’t think that he could get more than 3,000 people in a year. This obviously went beyond his expectation. These people are needed, but as there are more people, everything he prepares will change accordingly. However, in any case, a large number of people is a good thing, and it is not enough to settle them down. This money is really small for Li You.
"Forget it, that's it. Uncle Ping handed over everyone. As soon as the person arrived, he quickly boarded the ship, and one ship was transported away. This person must not stay here too much, otherwise, we can There is a problem, after all, there are thousands of people."
After Li You finished speaking, Yao Ping nodded and said: "A Lang, otherwise, choose a hidden place on the Yangtze River and get on the trestle bridge. This is easy to say, and secondly, there is no need to worry about those who are interested. Check it out."
"Okay, let's arrange it like this." Li You said to Gouzi again: "Gouzi, send these people to Liuqiu Nanwan, I will leave it to you, remember, make statistics first. See which of these people are craftsmen, and improve the treatment of craftsmen. Now we lack craftsmen."
"I know the young master, I will do it well." (End of this chapter)
