Chapter 216 Refugees After achieving gratifying results in resisting the last locust plague, people's trust in Qingcang has reached its peak.
Presumably, he will be praised all the time in a few years.
At the end of the eighth lunar month, the harvest season is about to usher in, but some people are happy and some are worried.
Due to the last culling of the locust plague in Huaxia City, although the losses were large, they were within a controllable range.
During this period, he imposed some Favorable policies, such as delaying people's repayment time, or providing relief policies for farmers who have suffered particularly serious losses, to cope with the coming cold winter.
But people in the West are not so lucky.
Every once in a while, Yang Xiaomei will send back news that due to the locust plague, a large amount of land has failed to harvest, and a large number of areas have fallen into famine.
It is precisely because of the famine that their recruitment has become very difficult.
Smoothly, sometimes just one steamed bun can persuade famine-stricken refugees to send their daughters to join the Women's Army.
Anyway, one more mouth and one more waste of food.
It is better to send one's children to a place where there is no famine.
According to her, she was very close to Yu Qiang Hu at this time, probably only a few dozen miles away.
During this period, Qing Cang also sent a message to her, telling her to be careful.
After all, getting closer to the Qiang Hu would inevitably have some impact on her personal safety.
On the other side, Yang Zizong was already reporting on the progress of hundreds of houses.
"Commander, the hundred houses you asked me to build are almost complete.
We are now moving in the wooden beds.
One house can accommodate about twenty people."
He doubled the number of beds for residents and accommodated as many residents as he could to reduce the pressure on Huaxia City.
At the same time, Wu Chaojing was also in the meeting hall.
Following his words, he said: "Commander, as you expected, more than a thousand refugees have entered the city and are currently asking for our assistance."
After listening to the reports of the two people, Qingcang said: "Yang Zizong, you have done a good job.
In addition to one hundred, you can build another hundred.
Regarding the refugees, Minister Wu, you can build one hundred more from the thousands of refugees."
Select strong men suitable for joining the army, as long as they agree to enlist Provide a one-year tax exemption policy for their families and help them get through this winter.
At the same time, each family will be given a reward of 10,000 yuan.
There will also be subsidies for land reclamation.
At the same time, we should also ask if there is any shortage of women in the women's army.
Some women with potential can also be used.
Absorbed into our army."
Yang Zizong said: "I understand."
Wu Chaojing said: "Commander, I'm afraid that the house is not enough for thousands of refugees.
As far as I know, there will be more and more refugees in the future."
"I have also considered this.
If they cannot be accommodated, our army will escort them to Quyang and Leping.
The treatment there will be the same as in Huaxia City."
Winter will be here in a few months.
As winter approaches, living conditions become more and more severe.
If you don't have a place to live, this winter will be very difficult.
Wu Chaojing said: "If this is the case, it is indeed possible.
At least 20,000 people can be accommodated in the two cities."
"That's it.
You go down and do it.
If you have any problems, report back."
"Yes I understand" After Yang Zizong and Wu Chaojing retired, Guo Jia and Qing Cang were the only two people in the entire meeting hall.

Qingcang said: "What do you think of Zhang Yi's escape from prison?"
Just now, Qingcang received news that Zhang Yi escaped from prison with the cooperation of his old subordinates.
He wanted to hear Guo Jia's opinion on this matter.
Guo Jia said: "I don't think he can do anything anymore.
If he goes back to Luoyang, because he lost Jinyang City, he will inevitably be punished by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and he will inevitably suffer the pain of being imprisoned again.
I guess he may remain anonymous.
To say the least, , even if he goes back to Luoyang, he won't be able to make any big waves.
After learning from the previous failure, he won't dare to come again.
Maybe we can release the news that he has an underground arsenal to ensure that he won't even dare to set foot in Luoyang City. ” "Well, your analysis is quite good.
It's not much different from what I thought.
So I'll ask you to release the news.
One more thing, I want Luo Xiu to capture Jiuyuan.
What do you think?"
"The locust plague was caused near Jiuyuan.
Now Jiuyuan should be the most severely affected place.
At this time, the city guard should be in dire straits.
Coupled with the large number of refugees migrating eastward, it can be seen from the side that Jiuyuan's city guard does not have that talent.
To control the problem of food shortage, but there is a drawback to occupying Jiuyuan, that is, it will consume our food reserves and accelerate our consumption.
Without supplies, if there is no food, we will not survive this winter.
It’s also very tight.”
Guo Jia said this, and the truth is very obvious.
The population of Jiuyuan is more than 200,000.
Since famine has become apparent, such a large number of people need to eat.
Just solving the problem of eating is enough to give him a headache.
"It looks like we'll have to wait a little longer."
When Guo Jia said this, he had no choice but to suppress his own thoughts.
After all, it was not a wise idea to take over a city full of famine, and he was not a philanthropist.
But this matter is contradictory.
When the population of Jiuyuan City drops below 200,000, then even if it is occupied, it will be of little use.
It cannot complete the task of occupying the city.
The task requires a population of more than 200,000.
It was better not to take this risk, so he did not intend to occupy Jiuyuan.
"I think we can capture the county towns around Jinyang and shrink the wealth in the county towns into Jinyang City.
With the size of Jinyang, it can be regarded as the second Huaxia City."
"From there, we can recruit 20,000 new soldiers in a short period of time.
I know there is unlimited potential there, just as you said."
Qingcang has also thought about this, but he has never had time to deal with it during this period, and he just has free time today.
So he said, "Let Dian Wei come in and see me."
After a while, Dian Wei led Yun Zhongfeng and Le Jin into the meeting hall.
Dian Wei walked in and said, "Commander, you are looking for us."
"Yes, we have something very important at hand.
We want you to do it.
It will just happen to accumulate combat merits for the two deputy brigade commanders Yun Zhongfeng and Le Jin."
Qing Cang intended to promote the two of them.
They had not fought a single battle since they joined the legion.

Now he decided to let them go out and train.
As soon as these words came out, the two of them were overjoyed.
The two of them said in unison: "Commander, just ask."
"Okay, I want your Second Independent Brigade to immediately go to Jinyang to join Luo Xiu, and occupy the county towns near Jinyang as soon as possible.
The more the better, it is best to kill the nearby grass bandits as well, and then take all the property obtained Incorporated into Jinyang City."
"This task is not difficult.
With me, Dianwei, it is very simple."
Qingcang said something profound: "Dianwei, let's give in to some things that should be given up.
There is nothing better than greed for merit."
Dian Wei is outspoken and doesn't hold back on anything.
"Commander, I understand.
Although I, Dian Wei, am a rough man, I still understand your intentions very well.
I will definitely let the two of them accumulate military exploits."
"Okay, then it's all down to the three of you."
The three of them immediately went out to order troops and headed towards Jinyang
