The torrential rain raged for a full half month. When the sun broke through the clouds, this apocalyptic scene finally ended, leaving ruins everywhere and homeless refugees everywhere. At this time, the outside of the Free Territory was already overcrowded. More than 100,000 disaster victims in Panshi Town poured into Freeland to wait for relief. Refugees from nearby towns also heard about Freeland's disaster relief and came one after another.
Man Chong and Zhuge Xiaoliang were extremely busy. This time they were different from the intermittent refugees from Qingzhou, but refugees from nearby towns and villages came in large numbers.
Qin Ge returned to the Free Territory after leading his soldiers to provide disaster relief. Due to the high-intensity disaster relief work for more than ten consecutive days, Qin Ge fell asleep as soon as he returned. But just after sleeping for an hour, Man Chong and Zhuge Xiaoliang ran over in a hurry.
"This time our territory was protected by auspicious animals and divine farmers, so there was basically no disaster. However, a flash flood destroyed a newly built pig farm in Chaijia Village. Fortunately, the pigs in the pig farm had just been killed and there was no damage!" Man Man Chong reported the impact of the disaster, first to the free leader and then to the entire Panshi Town: "Panshi Town was severely affected by the disaster this time. More than ten villages were affected. The initial estimate of the victims was about 200,000 people. The crops were damaged and the harvest was barely ten thousand. Two or three!”
Qin Ge's eyes were bleary, and he tapped his forehead lightly and said to Wei Sanniang: "How long can our supplies be supplied?"
Wei Sanniang looked a little solemn and said: "If we keep the current consumption rate, our current reserve of materials will be exhausted in one month! Moreover, the price of food affected by disasters has soared in various places. Although we have five purchase points in Jiangxia, the price of food has risen sharply. 50%, and this growth rate will continue!”
Zhuge Xiaoliang bit his lip and said: "This catastrophe is the beginning of the Yellow Turban Uprising. It can be said that the demons are dancing in chaos at present. The careerists among the evolvers are inciting them everywhere. There are also rumors that Yellow Turban Taoist priests have appeared in various places. They are using talismans and spells to start bewitching. People, the entire Huaxia District is now in chaos! It seems that a war is about to begin! We must now go all out to develop armaments!"
Qin Ge squinted his eyes and turned back to Man Chong: "How is the production of the black scale armor and the broken sword?"
Man Chong nodded and said: "Currently! We have more than 500 pieces of black-collar armor sets in reserve in our territory, and each weapon is equipped with a breaking sword. Our iron foundry can cast fifteen sets of black scale armor sets and two breaking swords every day. Ten!!" Qin Ge nodded with satisfaction. This was also due to the fact that more than ten days ago, Qin Fuhuo broke through the master level, was promoted to the master level blacksmith, and understood a forging field: refining. It can increase the casting speed by 20% during the iron casting process. And under Qin Ge's instruction, he can freely hire blacksmiths and recruit apprentices with high salaries. Currently, there are more than 260 blacksmiths in the iron foundry! Qin Fuhuo was promoted to the master-level blacksmith, and Tieniu was also promoted to the master-level under Qin Fuhuo's training not long ago. There are three senior blacksmiths, twenty-seven intermediate blacksmiths, and the rest are junior blacksmiths. These people are all talented blacksmiths personally selected by Qin Fuhuo. As the forging technology of the iron foundry has reached the cutting edge, this makes the public transport department of the wood workshop very excited, and they often bring some precision parts to communicate with the iron foundry!
Qin Ge nodded and said: "Xiao Liang! Put the information about Black Scale Armor and Zhan Zhan Dao on the forum. Our territory sells one hundred sets of Black Scale Armor and two hundred Zhan Zhan Dao in Taishan County. This matter is up to you. Responsible! Xiu Niang! Tell Fan Wenjin to increase the purchase of grain, and the transactions of other goods can be postponed. In addition, the amount of relief grain distributed to refugees cannot be reduced!" Zhuge Xiaoliang frowned, but did not say anything, and asked Qin Ge He cupped his fists and went out.
Qin Ge looked back at Man Chong and said, "Bo Ning! What should we do now?" If we are dragged down by refugees like this, the free community will be completely destroyed in less than a month, and as time goes by, more and more people will come to us. With more and more refugees arriving, this time will be greatly shortened!
Man Chong also looked solemn at this time. He originally wanted to persuade Qin Ge to tighten the relief for the victims and give up some of the old, young, sick and disabled, but seeing Qin Ge leading the troops to rescue the victims without sleep for more than ten days, he has lost weight now. Circle, his face was dark and yellowish, his eyes were sunken, and he looked like he was overworked. He still didn't say that sentence: "The most important thing now is to stabilize the situation..."
"Your Majesty! My subordinate Chen Yuan is here to greet me!" Chen Yuan's voice came from outside the courtyard.
Qin Ge's eyes lit up and he said to Wei Sanniang: "Go and invite Mr. Chen in!"
Chen Yuan and Qin Jizong walked in under the leadership of Wei Sanniang. Chen Yuan kowtowed to Qin Ge and said, "My lord, please forgive Yuan for leaving his post without permission. Yuan came to this matter in an emergency. I hope your lord will forgive me!" Qin Ge raised his hand to signal Chen Yuan to get up.
Chen Yuan got straight to the point: "May I ask my lord how to deal with the refugees?" This is Chen Yuan, who never does things in a sloppy manner.
Man Chong sighed: "I was discussing this matter with my lord just now. My lord is planning to sell military products and expand food purchases to provide disaster relief! And I am suggesting that my lord promote the reconstruction of each village!"
Chen Yuan kowtowed to Qin Ge and said: "Yuan thanked the lord for his kindness on behalf of the victims! Yuan has three suggestions. One is to rely on food to win over the hearts of the refugees and stabilize their emotions. The second is to take the opportunity to annex the clans and forces in each village. Keep them firmly in your hands, and at the same time seize disaster relief materials from them. The third is to recruit the middle-aged refugees in the name of disaster relief, use rations as offerings, and let them invest in post-disaster reconstruction!" Qin Ge's eyes lit up, Chen Yuan's three points can very well solve the current dilemma. The first is to expand its prestige among refugees, rally people's hearts, and unite all people. The second article is that there are some clans and gentry forces in the countryside. They usually annex farmers' land and accumulate wealth. It can be said that they have rich family properties and are the actual power holders of the towns. However, these guys are very stingy. They stored food and supplies at home. Although they suffered losses due to this disaster, their family was rich and they still had plenty of food and fish. Due to the major disaster, vegetables and meat were cut off in many places, and many squires came to Free Ling to consume. This is evident from the fact that Piaoxianglou’s business is more prosperous than before! But these people cannot move. If the Free Territory wants to develop, it must not lose its reputation among these landlords and gentry, otherwise it will be difficult to move forward in the countryside. Chen Yuan is also a ruthless character. Now that food and supplies are in short supply, he plans to let these people use the money they have stored. Spit it out! Solve the coal burning crisis. The third article is a bit like the work-for-relief system of later generations. The disaster relief food you receive freely cannot be white-collar work. If you want to have enough to eat, you have to work!
Man Chong raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and said: "Shu De would not be a gentleman if he did this! I would also like to add three suggestions. The first one is to increase the laws and use heavy codes in troubled times. In Panshi Town, there have been cases where refugees smashed and robbed the squire's house. So now we must increase the intensity of law enforcement and use the system to restrain public opinion! The second one is to fan the flames! Nowadays, there are bandits killing squires and local tyrants plundering assets in various towns. Can we use this to put some pressure on these squires in the territory and let them take the initiative? Spew out the hoarded money, food and property. The third item is to take this opportunity to annex the power of the squires and completely bring Panshi Town under the control of the Free Territory! Only by completing these three items can the lord have a stable rear and have the ability to compete for hegemony when the world is in chaos in the future. The power of Taishan County!”
Qin Ge rubbed his forehead and thought for a while and said: "Very good! With the help of two people, the free leaders and the people will be able to successfully survive this crisis! Chen Yuan! I order you to be in charge of the post-disaster reconstruction work. You are responsible for the post-disaster reconstruction of the villages in Panshi Town, and I hope you will fully assist Chen Yuan in his work!" The two of them bowed to accept the order and left in a hurry.
Qin Ge frowned and said to Wei Sanniang: "How long can our territory maintain with all our strength?"
Wei Sanniang said with a grimace: "I just calculated that by mobilizing all resources to raise supplies and food, the economic strength of the free territory can support it for up to two months. By then, all the resources in the territory will be exhausted! By then …”
"When the time comes! The victims who have lost everything may be free to be buried with them!" Qin Ge took up Wei Sanniang's words. Seemingly having made a decision, Qin Ge turned around and said to Wei Sanniang: "Recall A Feng, A Feng, Xiao Zong, Xiao Yong, Xiao Wu and all the Qin family soldiers, and ask them to rush to the territory within two days! "Wei Sanniang was shocked, took a deep look at Qin Ge, and retreated.
Under the full control of two internal affairs experts, Man Chong and Chen Yuan, the three villages under the Free Village absorbed some of the refugees, and the other refugees were evacuated to other villages in Panshi Town in an orderly manner, and village reconstruction began. Qin Ge Before the village was built, a mobilization speech was delivered and received great support from the villagers.
However, great difficulties were encountered during post-disaster reconstruction. The squire-dominated families in Panshi Town accounted for less than 5% of the population, but they controlled 80% of the resources, including fertile land, minerals, and timber. Even various resources such as mountains. Due to the reconstruction of the village, a large amount of stone and wood were needed, but the squire occupied the village's resources and not only banned logging, but also took the opportunity to raise the price. Chen Yuan communicated with them, but they refused to live or die! Chen Yuan had to go deep into the mountains to collect wood and stone, which wasted a lot of manpower and material resources.
Freely led Qin Ge's bedroom. Feng Lie, Han Feng, and the three brothers Qin Fuguan and Qin Jizong stood in the bedroom. Qin Ge gave a detailed explanation of the development of the territory to the three of them.
Qin Jizong clenched his fists and said: "These damn country squires, they don't care about the lives of refugees. How is this different from looking down on human life?"
Qin Ge knocked on the table and said: "I heard that Heifeng Village has recently robbed the squires and plundered supplies in Lijia Town next door! If these bandits come to our territory, I think these squires will be much more peaceful!"
Qin Jiyong grinned and said: "We will lead the subway army to sweep away the bandits. If those guys from Heifeng Village dare to come to our territory to cause trouble, I will definitely kill the shit out of those brats!"
Qin Ge nodded and said: "Yes! We have brought stability to Panshi Town, but those squires are greedy and greedy. They ignore the stability that our soldiers have brought and ignore the life and death of the people. I think they should be allowed to remember a little longer! This time I called you here to complete a special task. Our goal is to let the thieves from Black Wind Village visit Panshi Town!"
Weijiazhuang is located in the northeast of Panshi Town, adjacent to Lijia Town. Weijiazhuang is a high-end village among more than a dozen villages here, where the Wei clan gathers. Weijiazhuang is located to the north of the high-end village. Weijiazhuang occupies the entire Weijia Village and More than ten surrounding villages have 80% fertile farmland. Originally, the villages here were peaceful, with chickens and dogs chatting among each other. However, after the disaster, 70% of the villagers here have fled to the free territory, and the land is lonely. However, in Weijiazhuang, The lights are bright. There are thirty to forty thousand people with the surname Wei here, and the number of direct relatives in Weijiazhuang is three to four thousand. It is said that when disaster strikes, everyone will fly away. After the disaster in Weijiazhuang, the Wei family can be said to have lost nothing, regardless of other branches. The people of the Wei clan are dead and alive, and now there are only three to four thousand people from the Zong family in Weijiazhuang!
At this time, except for Weijiazhuang, which was brightly lit, the entire land was completely dark! , a group of well-dressed troops were lined up outside Weijiazhuang Village. Not far away was the courtyard of the owner of Weijiazhuang. There were three strong men at the front, one with a full beard, riding a yellow gelding and carrying a machete. The one on the left The man with an unhappy face, on the right is a strong man, but there is a scarlet birthmark covering half of his face.
The unlucky man turned back to the strong man with the birthmark and said, "Brother! What are we really going to do?" These three people were none other than Han Feng, the bearded man, Feng Lie, and the strong man with the birthmark. Ge dress up. Han Feng is good at disguise, and his disguise skills are superb. This time, he transformed the three people into the three bosses of Heifeng Village, the three brothers Hu Biao, Esha and Guihu!
"This is a bloody and dark road! But I can only do this for the sake of the Free Territory and the hundreds of thousands of refugees. In this troubled world where human life is taken seriously, the only way to survive is to survive!" Qin Ge lowered his voice and said no. Out of heaviness.
The elite bandit dressed as Qin Jiwu was silent for a moment and said: "Brother! Just let us do these things! You..."
"I brought up this affair, you just followed me!" Qin Ge ordered to Han Feng who was standing aside!
"Children! Kill them! Steal all their food and jewelry!" Han Feng laughed in a very weird and rough voice. This is Hu Biao's signature move!
Qin Jiwu roared angrily, raised a huge shield and shouted: "Xiangyue!" He rushed out like a tank, "Boom!" With a loud noise, the entire Zhuqi door shattered. Han Feng and the other three were the first to rush into Weijiazhuang!
"Bandit! Hu Biao!" The people in Weijiazhuang screamed, but what greeted them was a bright butcher's knife!
Suddenly fireworks started, and the entire Weijiazhuang suddenly became a hell on earth. In addition to the owner's mansion, Weijiazhuang was surrounded by hundreds of direct households. When they heard the sound, the strong men in the village took out their weapons and surrounded the village!
"Ah Feng! You take Xiao Zong and Xiao Wu to drive away the Xiang Yong outside the village! Xiao Ben fights quickly!" Qin Ge shouted coldly in a low voice!
With a fierce look in Qin Jiben's eyes, he rushed into Qinjiazhuang with a war gun. Everyone he met along the way, whether they were servants, women or children, was shot down by him. The son of the owner of Weijiazhuang was a third-rate military general, and was also killed by Qin. Jiben uses dozens of tricks to give results! In less than half an hour, Weijiazhuang turned into a river of blood, with no chickens or dogs left!
Qin Ge stood in the courtyard of Weijiazhuang, and the Qin family's children began to rummage through boxes and cabinets in search of belongings.
"Don't take it to heart, this is a world where people cannibalize people. The rise of the Qin family must be bloody!" Qin Fukian stood behind Qin Ge. Originally Qin Ge didn't want him to come, but after hearing Qin Ge's decision, Qin Fukian made a special trip and came over. He looked at Qin Ge with a complicated expression and said, "It's just that we, the older generation, can handle these things. Isn't it inappropriate for Ji Zong and the three of them to come..."
"I just want them to understand this world. The rich and powerful in this world are built on the blood and tears of others!" Qin Ge's voice was low.
At this time, Qin Jizong walked in from outside the village and clasped his fists and said, "Brother! We killed more than fifty people in Xiangyong. When the others saw that they were defeated, they became like birds and beasts and dispersed!"
