Chapter 854

Xingqing palace.

Gu Jiu, with a small abacus, was making an account with Wende emperor.

"At present, there are about 450000 refugees going south. According to the calculation of 40000 people and half a catty of grain per person per day, the daily consumption of grain is 20000 Jin. "

"Firewood, medicine and staff salaries are calculated separately. Now the weather is warm and cold, sooner or later it will be cold. At least 5000 quilts and 10000 cotton clothes must be prepared. "

"Burning fire at night, charcoal consumption, is also an expenditure. In addition, Xiuyi Weijia will send people to patrol, so they need to prepare supper and reward in full. The total sum of zero and zero is at least 10, 000 taels a month. "

"The war with Beirong is expected to last for a year and a half. It means that in one or two years, these refugees will not be able to return to their hometown to start their lives again, and they can only rely on the support of the court. "

"And with the deepening of the war, more and more refugees will pour into the capital. Because of the panic, many civilians began to flee before the Beirong army attacked. This will be more and more. I predict that in half a year, the number of refugees in Beijing will probably exceed 100000. Ten months later, it is possible to surpass 200000 people. "

"In order to resettle so many refugees, from now on, the Ministry of accounts must set aside enough budget. If we take the median of 100000 people, the Ministry of housing will leave at least 400000 taels of silver this year to resettle refugees. The premise is that no one is greedy. However, I doubt that 400000 taels is not enough to spend. When it comes to winter, the consumption will increase sharply. I'm afraid that the money is in short supply. It's better to reserve 600000 taels of silver. Medicinal materials should also be prepared to prevent epidemics. "

Gu Jiu puts down his abacus and looks at Wende emperor.

Emperor Wende, with no expression, looked at Zhao, the Minister of Hubu.

Mr. Zhao had a headache, "Your Majesty, in the account of Madame Zhao just now, grain is coarse grain, and it is cheaper than the current market price. But with the influx of refugees into the capital, food prices are bound to fluctuate. Four hundred thousand taels is indeed the minimum budget. Even a budget of 600000 taels may not be enough.

Unless the imperial army can end the war in half a year. Otherwise, there will be only a lot more refugees. Today, people all over the world know that the capital is rich. The small Xinmin county is called xiaojiangnan. The refugees come from the north, they will not go to the south of the Yangtze River, they will only come to the capital for survival. "

Wende Di asked, "can the Ministry of public accounts take out this money to resettle the refugees?"

Mr. Zhao shook his head. "The household department has worked hard for many years and saved a little property. When the northern part of the house started to fight, all of them took it out. This year's income has also been arranged. It is really impossible to squeeze enough money to resettle the refugees. "

With that, Mr. Zhao went to see Huang's son-in-law.

The Hubu has no money. The Shao Fu must be rich.

Huang's son-in-law is silent. He is a seal. He will do whatever your majesty says.

He did not comment on the court's affairs.

Wende Di tapped on the table, worried.

Just now, his majesty, the nine daughters-in-law can only guarantee that they are alive

The food is only coarse food. I want to eat meat and vegetables. I'm sorry, the refugee settlement does not provide it, and there is no money to provide it.

Therefore, Gu Jiucai said that the only way to ensure the survival of the refugees, the rest can not be guaranteed.

"Can't we follow the example of Xinmin county and organize the refugees to carry out construction?" asked Wende

Gu Jiu was surprised, "is your majesty going to let these refugees settle down in the capital? If you don't settle down and the house is built, the refugees won't pay for it. On the outskirts of the north of the city, there are mountains. No matter in the development of planting and commerce, it is not as advantageous as that outside the south gate. Even outside the east gate and the west gate, it can not match.

Natural conditions limit the development of the north gate. Moreover, the north gate is close to Beimang mountain, and the imperial mausoleum is in Beimang mountain. Large scale population settlement has never been allowed in this area. If your majesty needs her daughter-in-law to build a large-scale construction outside the north gate, please give an order. "

Wende had a big head.

Lord Lu said, "can the refugees be resettled to the outskirts of the city?"

Gu Jiu immediately objected, "refugees must not be resettled to the outskirts of the south of the city. You know, these refugees came to the capital to escape the war. Once they enter Xinmin County in the south of the city, there will be no wall isolation, Xinmin county will be in danger.

This group of refugees will loot Xinmin county. When tens of thousands of refugees rioted, they would have to go to Beijing to suppress them. Gentlemen, do you want to see this man-made disaster happen? Xinmin County in the south of the city has been operating for decades and paid countless human and material resources to achieve today's prosperity. Do you have the heart to let Xinmin county be destroyed by the hands of refugees

Fleeing refugees will never want to settle down when they enter the colorful Xinmin county.

On the contrary, they will be extremely jealous and hostile.

I am so miserable, people here sing and dance, eat and drink enough, don't be too happy. This world is too unfair.

The happier others are, the more resentful the refugees are.

When resentment accumulates to the point of explosion, you want to destroy everything. If we want to pull the people of Xinmin County into the same miserable situation as ourselves, then the refugees will feel balanced.Look, everyone is equally miserable. Finally it's balanced.

This is why, from the south to the north, all cities refuse refugees and refugees to enter the city.

The local destruction caused by refugees and refugees is almost devastating. Sometimes it's more terrifying than the damage caused by a war.

Even the most loving officials would not allow refugees into their own cities.

The most important thing is to take out food and grass and set up porridge shed to help the victims.

The experience summed up by the ancestors with blood and tears must not be belittled.

Gu Jiu is not afraid to guess human nature with the greatest malice.

As soon as she finished speaking, Wende Di immediately rejected the resettlement of refugees in the southern suburbs of the city.

"Gu Jiu is right. Refugees should not be allowed to enter Xinmin county."

Xinmin county is the capital's financial and taxation center, and can not withstand the destruction of refugees.

Lord Lu said, "the suburbs in the West and the suburbs in the East are feasible?"

Gu jiu11 rejected it.

On the outskirts of the east of the city, there are lots of fertile fields, which are also close to the Weishui wharf.

When the refugees entered the east of the city, the local people's harvest this year was basically invalid.

Xiuyiwei has limited manpower and can not prevent every refugee.

The refugee went to the field to steal some food, vegetables and fruits, and the refugee also went to steal some

No matter how much food and vegetables the local people grow, they can't afford such losses.

As for the suburbs in the west of the city, the granary is in the west of the city, and the transportation of grain and grass goes from the west of the city. Are you afraid that these refugees will attack Jingcang?

"Can it only be in the north of the city?"

"Unless the county governments in all parts of the capital can resettle some refugees."

"Don't count on the county magistrate below. Even if the court strongly demands that the local government accept refugees, the people below will also act in favor of others, for fear of causing civil unrest. "

Several ministers argued endlessly.

Wende's head was big, and when he patted the table, "he was placed on the outskirts of the city. I have made it clear that as long as I buy a house, the refugees will be allowed to settle in the capital. Gu Jiu, I will give you the responsibility. The Shao Fu will provide 600000 taels of silver. You have to solve the rest by yourself. I promise you will do as you please. "

Gu Jiu also has a big head.

"Your Majesty, the refugees are not the same as the refugees in those days," she said directly. The refugees had to leave their hometown because of the natural disaster and bankruptcy and lost everything.

Refugees fled because of the war, but they still have houses, land and industries in their hometown. As long as the war is over, they can go back home and start over again. It's impossible to expect these refugees to repair their civil engineering in the northern suburbs of the city, and to expect the outer suburbs of the city to develop rapidly like Xinmin county. "

Wende Di frowned. "Do you have a better way?"

Gu Jiu rubs her eyebrows. What can she do.

"Only factories."

"Run a factory?"

Everyone is curious to see Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu said: "what do these refugees look forward to most? Finish the war early, go home early and start again. Mobilize them and let them contribute to the war, such as military uniform factories, meat drying factories, sweet potato processing workshops and so on. All factories that provide materials for the war will recruit refugees.

If you work hard, you can get money. If you have money, you can improve your life and buy meat and vegetables. If someone sets an example, other refugees will move. Your majesty, when people have nothing to do with their affairs, they are most likely to think wildly and breed various problems.

As long as there is something to do, there is no time to think about messy things, and people's hearts will soon be stabilized. Once people's hearts are stable, there is no need to worry about refugee riots. "

Wende Di nodded in secret.

What he wants is stability.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of this matter?"

Lord Lu first agreed, "Madam Zhao's idea is feasible. The Ministry of works and the Ministry of housing should give strong support. "

"The Ministry of accounts has been unable to provide more money," said Zhao. All this year's income has been advanced. We also have a budget for next year's revenue. "

Lord Lu looks at Huang's son-in-law.

Huang's son-in-law immediately said, "you are all ordered by your majesty."

Emperor Wende looked at Gu Jiu.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, how do you plan to operate the factory?"

"Military authorization is required. Without the authorization of the military department, the daughter-in-law can not operate. "

"Yes! I will also order the Ministry of war to cooperate fully. "

Gu Jiu worries, "it's just that the factories in the suburbs of the north of the city are robbing the government of business. The daughter-in-law suggested that the Shao government should take the lead in this matter, and the four seas should help. "

Emperor Wende looked at Huang's son-in-law and said, "how to operate it, Huang's son-in-law, discuss with his wife and come up with a proper plan. I ask all Yamen to move as soon as possible. In a few days, a large number of refugees will pour into the capital. I don't want to hear about the refugee riots. "

"Comply with the order!"

After the preliminary plan has been decided, the details will be followed.

After all the ministers left, Emperor Wende left Gu Jiu alone.

Wende Di motioned Gu Jiu to sit down and talk."I don't know what your majesty says?"

Emperor Wende asked, "what is Liu Zhao doing recently?"

Gu Jiu pretends to be silly and white sweet, "every day I go to the court to do business, and I'm not busy with anything else."

Wende Di laughed.

Believe her lies.
