"Thank you for your hard work, brothers!"
Sun Lei looked at the visitor with a smile. Qinbei Pavilion
"Brother, my little brother is incompetent. He didn't even handle these little things!"
Lin Chong said with a guilty look on his face. After Sun Lei left, he took charge of the overall situation of Liangshan, but waves of victims came to surrender. He had never dealt with such a thing, so he could only wait for Sun Lei to come back.
"In fact, we have done a good job. As Master Lu said, the people around us coming to support us show that we have won the hearts of Liangshan. This is a good thing, so we must treat it with caution."
Sun Lei shook his head. Lin Chong and others cannot be blamed for this matter. All he left behind were military generals. There would be no problem in training troops and deploying defenses. Pei Xuan would probably have a headache dealing with these matters.
"Pei Xuan, what is the specific situation now?"
Sun Lei looked at Pei Xuan and asked.
"Brother, when the disaster victims come, they should write to the court to request for disaster relief funds, build temporary shelters, open warehouses for disaster relief, set up porridge stations, and properly resettle these victims. Once the disaster is over, they will be sent back to their place of origin."
Pei Xuan clasped his fists at Sun Lei and said that he had been the head of the state government and had dealt with natural disasters, but the methods were all the government's. There was a state government above the county government, and there was a court above the state government. There were always ways. But Liangshanbo was different. This was a bandit village with no other support. Everything stopped when Sun Lei came here.
"Temporary shelters are already here, and a porridge restaurant is open, but this is not an option. Our cottage has limited food and grass. If it continues in the long run, the cottage will be emptied sooner or later."
Zhu Gui said anxiously, money and food are the most fundamental problem. The court's disaster relief is because the family has a strong family and can mobilize the power of the world. After all, the world is so big that disasters don't happen everywhere. As long as resources are allocated, they can be solved. For Fabi, Liangshanbo is just a small place, nothing else.
"Jiang Jing, how many victims are there now? Do we have enough food and grass?"
Sun Lei looked at Jiang Jing and asked.
"Brother, now we have taken in 10,535 victims. We have no problem in Liangshan providing food and grass relief to them, but this consumption will still have an impact next year..."
Jiang Jing took out a small account book from his sleeve and handed it to Sun Lei and said.
"It made a few people laugh. The Liangshan I want to show is not like this."
After reading the account book, Sun Lei looked at Wen Huanzhang and Xu Guanzhong with a wry smile. He described Liangshan so beautifully before, but now he was surrounded by disaster victims. It was really a slap in the face.
"Brother, why did you say this? This is a great kindness. It just shows that Liangshanbo is a gathering place for righteous people. It's not too late for us to be happy!"
Wen Huanzhang and Xu Guanzhong quickly said that compared to whitewashing the peace, they would rather see the real side. What Sun Lei is doing is what people with lofty ideals want to do. Although he is a little embarrassed, he is actually a person who does things. No one can blame or ridicule.
"In ancient times, in addition to opening warehouses for disaster relief, there were also immigrants providing food and work-for-relief. It is impossible for immigrants to provide food because there are corrupt officials around. The victims will only be exploited. I wonder if my brother is willing to provide work-for-relief. ?”
Wen Huanzhang clasped his fists at Sun Lei and said, "Opening a warehouse to provide disaster relief is the simplest and most direct way, but it requires very high financial and material resources. Liangshan will definitely not be able to carry it. How can we support more than 10,000 mouths?"
Immigration means moving disaster victims to places where there is no disaster and good food production. This is not realistic for Yangshan. Yangshan is so big and there are rebels who cannot be tolerated by the government. The surrounding Jeju and Yunzhou are already disaster-stricken. There is absolutely no place to move.
“Credit for work?”
Sun Lei touched his chin and started thinking.
"Brother, this is the idea that Fan Wenzhenggong came up with in the south of the Yangtze River. When Fan Wenzhenggong was in power in Hangzhou, there was a great famine in Wuzhong and Liangzhe Road. The disaster in Hangzhou was particularly serious. Although Fan Wenzhenggong wrote a letter asking for disaster relief, but But the imperial court has been slow to allocate funds.”
"Fan Wenzhenggong had no choice but to find a way on his own. He saw that the areas south of the Yangtze River believed in Buddhism, and the temples in various places had a lot of money and food. In addition, there were many rich people in the areas south of the Yangtze River, so he summoned the abbots of each temple to preside over it and told them that in the year of famine, labor was cheap. It was a good opportunity to repair the temple and expand the temple. When the abbot of the Buddhist temple heard the news, he immediately recruited civilians to start construction projects."
"Not only that, Fan Wenzheng also organized a boat race, parade and rally on the West Lake. The wealthy people were all interested in saving face and rushed to this event. They spent a lot of money and food and fed many victims."
"He also encouraged officials and wealthy households to renovate government offices, residences, and warehouses. For a time, everyone had a job, and the disaster was over."
Wen Huanzhang looked at Sun Lei and said, "Liangshanbo has just been established. According to the blueprint drawn by Sun Lei, large-scale construction projects will definitely be indispensable, which is suitable for the work-for-relief method."
"This is a good idea. It's the dry season now, and dredging and widening the river requires a lot of manpower. It's excellent!"
Sun Lei's eyes lit up. These victims could be dealt with in the same way as the prisoners captured earlier. They were all sent to dig river channels and build river embankments. This was an extremely important matter for Liangshanbo.
"Dredging and widening the river?"
Xu Guanzhong listened thoughtfully. Dredging and widening the river channel is to control water conservancy, but water conservancy is the barrier of Liangshan Bo. This river can also be regarded as the barrier of Liangshan Bo. In the future, when the war is fought, these can play a big role.
"My little brother is so stupid that he didn't expect it!"
Lin Chong and others suddenly realized that the prisoners in Jeju were still digging river channels. The leaders were Huang An, the Jeju regiment leader, and He Tao, the arresting envoy.
"Then let's do this. Tell the villagers that if they want to stay in Liangshanbo, they have to work hard and they will be distributed according to their work. If they perform well, we in Liangshan can allocate land to them next year."
Sun Lei looked at Zhu Gui and said.
"Uh, brother, where did we get the land?"
Zhu Gui asked with some confusion, the land on Liangshan Mountain must not be cultivated by outsiders.
"Zhu Gui, wherever you look you can see land that is not land? Brother, I don't know how to rob anything else. I specifically look for corrupt officials like Yang Jian to rob. Didn't Yang Jian say that all land without land deeds is public land? What do we do in Liangshanbo? ? What we are grabbing is their public land! I can’t stand the little sesame and mung bean in the hands of the common people!"
Sun Lei patted Zhu Gui's shoulder and pointed into the distance.
"Yes, brother!"
Zhu Gui was overjoyed after hearing this. It was difficult to say anything else. Most of the brothers who went up the mountain were familiar with robbing things, and robbing the imperial court and corrupt officials was just doing justice for heaven.
"Let's go back to the mountain first. It looks like we'll be busy again for a while."
Sun Lei said with a smile that the resettlement of more than 10,000 disaster victims is not a small problem, but fortunately with these people, the defense problem outside Liangshanbo can be solved in the next few months. When the river channel is widened, the army will be unable to Take a step closer to the water.
Sun Lei's plan is to widen and connect all the rivers and lakes outside Shuibo to form a huge water ring, extending Liangshan Bo's control area for another fifty miles.
"By the way, Pei Xuan, pull this iron bull down, go down the mountain privately, and be severely punished in front of Juyi Hall."
Sun Lei pointed at Li Kui and said to Pei Xuan that the military stick only records whether to hit or not.
"Yes, brother!"
Pei Xuan had been staring at Li Kui for a long time. He disobeyed military orders and went down the mountain privately. How could he be spared?
