Jiaozhou was in turmoil, and the leaders of various aristocratic families and tribes had secret thoughts. However, Dai Liang, the governor of Jiaozhou appointed by Soochow, was unable to suppress it and could only barely guarantee his rule in Nanhai County, including Cangwu, Hepu, Yulin, Jiuzhen and other counties. During the turmoil, the Huan family in Hepu County directly raised their flag to rebel and did not recognize the rule of Soochow.
The Huan family was originally the second largest aristocratic family in Jiaozhou after the Shi family. Now that the Shi family has been destroyed, why can't the Huan family rise in these troubled times and repeat what the Shi family did in the past? !
The Gan family of Cangwu County, who also has hidden thoughts, is wavering between the Huan family and Dai Liang. It is obvious that he wants to cause a war between the two families. After both sides suffer losses, the Gan family can easily reap the benefits. But the problem is that the geography of Cangwu County The location is not very good, sandwiched between Nanhai County and Hepu County, causing the southern part of Cangwu County to unconsciously fall into the battle between the two armies.
This suddenly involved the battle in three counties, which naturally produced a lot of refugees. In order to survive, these refugees naturally could not run to the more remote Jiuzhen County and Yulin County, nor could they run to Yazhou. In other words, if you go to Hainan Island, you can only escape to the northern part of Hepu County.
Even if the Gan family of Hepu County was willing, they would not be able to take in all the refugees from the three counties. In fact, they might not even have the intention to take in these refugees.
Since Hepu County is unwilling to take in these refugees, these refugees can only go further north. For example, Guiyang County and Lingling County in Jingzhou.
Of course, most of the refugees went to Lingling County. After all, Guiyang County was so poor that even Jiaozhou people looked down upon it.
They all want to be refugees, and of course they hope to be refugees in the richer Lingling County. And most importantly, Pan Jun in Lingling County needs these refugees to farm land now.
Even though he was working as a hermit for a wealthy family, he could at least survive. It was better than dying in the turmoil in Jiaozhou.
In this way, a large number of refugees poured into Lingling County. Kuai Qi was so greedy that sparks shot out of his eyes.
Kuai Qi really wants these refugees, but the problem is, Kuai Qi is a little embarrassed to talk about this.
Does Kuai Qi not know the current situation in Lingling County? It is now controlled by the Jingnan aristocratic family headed by Pan Jun. Now there is also a shortage of people to farm the land. The hidden households do not have to pay taxes. The aristocratic family For wealthy people, isn’t the more the better? !
Originally, everyone was from the Jingxiang family, and Kuai Qi knew everything. At this time, as a member of the Jingxiang family, it would be difficult for Kuai Qi to expose this matter and offend these Jingnan families.
But Kuai Qi is really short of people now.
Without enough Dingkou, he would not be able to govern Guiyang well, and if he could not govern Guiyang well, the Jingzhou Kuai family would not be able to restore its former reputation. For the sake of the Kuai family, Kuai Qi could only betray his teammates once.
Therefore, Kuai Qi secretly told Zhang Xi about Lingling County, hoping that Zhang Xi would come forward to take in these refugees before Pan Jun did, and then allocate some refugees to Guiyang to "farm".
Although there is not much land in Guiyang for these refugees to farm, they can at least help build roads and rebuild sand refineries.
As for the food problem of these refugees, I can just cry to Zhang Xi again.
Don't talk about it, Zhang Xi is a little moved.
At the beginning, Zhang Xi and Zhuge Liang promised Pan Jun only the right to allocate land in Lingling County. Pan Jun's unscrupulous accommodation of Jiaozhou refugees as hermits was unreasonable even on the table.
So, even if Zhang Xi really writes a letter to Pan Jun about this matter and asks him to vomit out all the refugees, Pan Jun must also do it. Otherwise, even if Pan Junan is charged with treason, there will be no way for him and Pan Jun. Reason.
But, well, this matter needs to be calculated in total.
Kuai Qi's request for money and grain and Dingkou and Dingkou are difficult to handle for the time being, but money and grain are easy to handle.
Zhang Xi immediately wrote to Shi Bao, asking him to transport a batch of grain from Changsha County to Guiyang to fill the food gap in Guiyang, and then asked Kuai Qi to use this batch of grain to attract people to build roads and improve transportation.
Build the road first. Without convenient transportation, even if you send enough Dingkou to Kuai Qi later, you Kuai Qi won't be able to digest it.
Then, Zhang Xi did not stay in Guiyang County longer, but returned to Lingxian County in Changsha County along the original road, then turned southeast, crossed the Xiangshui River, and went to Quanling County.
I need to have a good chat with Pan Jun.
When they arrived at Quanling and met Pan Jun, Zhang Xi didn't waste any words and dismissed him on the spot.
"Prefect Pan is at home and doing great things!!!"
These words immediately confused Pan Jun.
"Why did you say this?!"
Pan Junxin said that I haven't done much recently. I just divided some land, contacted some Lingling families, fanned the flames in Jiaozhou, and then took in some refugees. Huh? !
When Pan Jun thought of the refugees, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. Don't you think Zhou Mu found out about the refugees in Jiaozhou from somewhere and came to me to question him? !
And when he heard Zhang Xi formally explain his intention, it was just as Pan Jun expected.
What kind of gossip is spread by some unscrupulous person? !
No matter who spread the word, Pan Jun would definitely deny Zhang Xi's question anyway, shaking his head so much that he could see the afterimage.
"There is absolutely no such thing. All Dingkou of Lingling County are registered, and the aristocratic families are aware of the power of Heaven. How can there be any hidden refugees?!" Pan Jun explained with a righteous look.
You can't admit this easily. Once you are caught, you can be charged with treason easily.
But Pan Jun also knows that such high-sounding words are fine for fooling others, but it is almost useless to fool people of Zhang Xi's level.
Therefore, Pan Jun immediately continued, "Jun Jun has also heard about the turmoil in Jiaozhou. In this way, all counties should be ordered to strictly investigate the movements of the refugees in Jiaozhou. If any are found, they should be stopped. But I don't know how you want to arrange it?!"
I mean, just tell Zhang Xi that the previous matter ends here. If there are refugees again in the future, it will still be reported that only these refugees will be dealt with, which is also a problem.
"There are few people in Jingzhou, and I want to implement the strategy of farming. I wonder what Governor Pan thinks?!" Zhang Xi said.
"That's possible." Pan Jun thought for a moment, nodded, and said.
For farming, we must use the unowned land in the hands of the government. For example, the land at the junction of Wuling County and Changsha County that was converted into fields has nothing to do with my Lingling County.
All the land in Lingling County is owned by its owner. Pan Jun has already divided the land in Lingling County over the years.
By the way, Pan Jun still has a conscience. The land he re-divided was basically the land originally occupied by the Soochow family. Pan Jun did not touch the original land of the common people at all.
No matter how you put it, at least in Lingling County, whether it is the land of common people or the land of aristocratic families, they all have owners. If Zhang Xi wants to start farming, he can't get Lingling County to take over.
However, in this case, I am afraid that I can no longer do the matter of privately accepting hidden households. After all, Zhang Xi has already focused on this matter. It won't take long before someone will be sent to take charge of guiding the refugees.
Although it is a bit regretful, today is different from the past. It is okay for aristocratic families to make a fortune, but in official matters, everyone has to give each other face.
"Since Prefect Pan thinks it's feasible, let's leave this matter to Prefect Pan."
"Subordinate, please?!"
Pan Jun's eyes widened when he heard this. What did the commander just say? ! Did I hear that correctly? !
Leave it to me to host? !
That's not right. It's very wrong.
Based on Zhang Xi's political experience, doesn't he know that if he were left to do this, he would be able to make a lot of money as long as he had a hand in it? !
Didn't you warn yourself before because Lingling County privately accepted the refugees as hidden households? Why did you let yourself accept the resettlement of the refugees now? Aren't you afraid that you will continue to line your own pockets? !
Pan Jun couldn't understand, but he couldn't stand Zhang Xi and spoke again.
"Why, the prefect has any objections?!"
"I don't dare. I have to obey my orders."
No matter why, just agree to this first and then talk about it. Eat the food in your stomach first, and then talk about diarrhea later.
"As for the money and food needed to resettle the refugees, the state capital is in trouble, so the local government needs to raise its own funds to solve the problem."
When you come here, you know it’s not that delicious.
But if it's just some settled money and food, comparing the benefits, I believe those wealthy families would be willing to bear it.
"If Lingling County is really in trouble, you can communicate with Guiyang County. Governor Kuai wants to reset the sand-making mint. If necessary, you two can negotiate on your own."
No, what's the point of communicating with that poor place? Wait, the envoy seemed to have mentioned the mint just now, right? !
The big man's five baht was hard currency, and even Cao Wei and Soochow would recognize it.
No, he, Kuai Qi, was so capable that he could actually obtain the right to mint coins from the state capital or even the imperial court? !
If that's the case, you're going to get rich.
When he thought of this, Pan Jun's mind suddenly became a little hot and a little wild.
"It is our duty to take in the refugees. However, the refugees are scattered and most of them are from Jiaozhou. If Jiaozhou does not allow the refugees to go north to escape,"
".This world belongs to the Han Dynasty, and the people of Jiaozhou are also the people of the Han Dynasty!"
"Subordinates, please keep this in mind."
Well, with this promise, Pan Jun's eyes immediately shone.
Kavin, I really can’t write anymore. Sorry, there are only two chapters today.
(End of chapter)
