Hu Zhongyang said: "If the adults insist on going their own way, I am afraid that it will make the hearts of the people of Dongliang County cold, and there is no need for us to stay here." ” Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "If I heard correctly, Hu Caidong seems to be threatening me" Hu Zhongyang said with a solemn face: "The grass people don't dare" Hu Xiaotian said casually: "How many years has Hu Caidong been in Dongliang County?"
Hu Zhongyang said: "Born and raised in Si, our Hu family has been operating here for seven generations, and it has been more than 100 years. ” Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Presumably Hu Caidong must have special feelings for this place."
Hu Zhongyang nodded and said: "The homeland is difficult to leave, and I don't hide it from Lord Hu that in the hearts of the grass people, Dongliang County has been regarded as a part of their lives." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "I can understand your feelings, if you don't have such sincere feelings for your hometown, you won't be nostalgic to this day, it is said that more than half of the merchants in Dongliang County have moved into Dayong, if Hu Caidong is just to maintain his own interests, I am afraid that he has already moved north like other businessmen." ” Hu Zhongyang said: "Thank you Lord Hu for your kindness, the reason why the grass people are reluctant to leave is indeed because of this." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Do you know what the biggest difference between us is?"
Hu Zhongyang didn't speak, but he thought in his heart, you are an official and I am a citizen, this is the biggest difference between us.
Hu Xiaotian said: "In your heart, Dongliang County is your hometown, and your feelings are deep, but my hometown is not here, that is to say, I don't have as deep feelings for Dongliang County as you, and the emperor gave Dongliang County to Princess Yongyang as a fief."
It doesn't mean that the emperor attaches great importance to this, you should be able to see and think clearly about the current situation.
Although it was the first time we met, I believe that Hu Caidong is a smart person, and Dongliang County Yu Dakang has no special significance. ” Hu Zhongyang said: "The grass people remember that it was the adults who brought Dongliang County back from Dayong.
He was secretly vigilant in his heart, Hu Xiaotian's words clearly told him that Dongliang County was not so important in Hu Xiaotian's heart, and he could take any extreme measures if necessary, even at the expense of the interests of Dongliang County.
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Princess Anping was killed in Yongdu.
That's why Emperor Dayong used Dongliang County as compensation, and I also know that the people of Dongliang County have no sense of belonging to Dakang in their hearts, and there is a way that the melon is not sweet.
Since the people's hearts are not here, it is useless to keep these people, tomorrow I will issue an order, and I will not stop anyone who wants to return to Dayong.
But people can go.
Dakang is never allowed to take away any grass and trees. ” Hu Zhongyang's scalp was numb for a while, Hu Xiaotian was threatening himself, if he wanted to leave, he had to leave all his money here, this kid was ruthless enough, he said in a low voice: "Don't forget, my lord, the people are the foundation of the country, if all the people of Dongliang County are gone."
Dongliang County will be reduced to an empty city, and perhaps this city will cease to exist. ” Hu Xiaotian smiled: "It's not that there are already 30,000 refugees in Dongliang County.
I don't think they would mind being a resident of Dongliang County. “ Hu Zhongyang gasped, this new city lord surpassed Taishou Li Mingcheng too much in terms of wisdom and means, and it was difficult for him to take advantage of him.
Hu Xiaotian said: "But now the border of Dayong has been blocked, without the permission of Dayong, no one is allowed to set foot in Dayong, maybe Hu Caidong has a way to open up the joint and return to Dayong, I think most of the people do not have this ability, if they abandon Dongliang County but are not accepted by Dayong, wouldn't it be a dilemma" He took a sip of tea and waited quietly for Hu Zhongyang's answer.
Hu Zhongyang said: "Lord Hu, most of the people who can stay in Dongliang County have feelings for here, if there is a way, everyone will not choose to leave, and we are not without sympathy for the refugees who came to Dakang, but the endless influx of refugees into Dongliang County has exceeded the capacity of Dongliang County, if you blindly accept it, Dongliang County will be dragged down, and everyone will be finished together." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "In your opinion, how should we solve this matter?"
Hu Zhongyang said: "The grass people are not talented, I have estimated the situation faced by Dongliang County with my peers, Dongliang County has not been affected by the natural disasters of Dakang because of geography, but the food in the city is limited, and the current situation of Dongliang County can accept up to 30,000 refugees, and now it is close to saturation.
Because of the lack of unified management and scheduling, these refugees took all means to survive after coming to Dongliang County. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "What do you think is the most lacking thing in Dongliang County at present?"
Hu Zhongyang said: "An army that maintains the stability of Dongliang County.
He paused and said: "In fact, most of the people in Dongliang County know in their hearts that Dayong will take back this place sooner or later, Dongliang County has been under Dayong's rule for nearly a hundred years, and most of the people think that they are Yongren." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Hu Caidong thinks he is a Yong or a Kang person."
Hu Zhongyang sighed and said: "Don't hide it, Hu once offended a certain powerful person in Dayong, which is also one of the reasons why the grass people dare not return to Dayong, plus the ancestors of the grass people have regarded themselves as Kang people for generations and have never given up the desire to return to Dakang, so the grass people are still reluctant to leave." ” Hu Xiaotian was satisfied with Hu Zhongyang's reason, nodded and said: "The escort team must be disbanded, as for the refugees from Dakang, we can accept them conditionally in the future, and those who enter the city must be strictly selected." ” Hu Zhongyang said: "If the escort team is canceled, who will control the situation in front of you." ” Hu Xiaotian slowly put down the teacup in his hand and said: "To solve the bell, you still have to tie the bell, and if you want to manage the refugees well, you have to start from their inside." ” Hu Zhongyang blinked, as if he didn't understand what Hu Xiaotian meant.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Dongliang County has always been your hometown, for me, from today on, this is the place where I survive and develop, if you want this land to be preserved in the troubled times, everyone in Dongliang County should work together, instead of tearing each other down, among the 30,000 refugees should be able to select a passable army, if you are ready to accept these people, then you might as well let down your guard and look at them with the same eyes." ” Of course, Hu Xiaotian understands that a mere Dongliang County can't accept too many refugees, and the first thing he did when he came to Dongliang County was to set aside an area twenty miles west of Dongliang County for refugees to temporarily accommodate themselves, and at the same time issued an order to recruit refugees, the reason for this is to give refugees a chance to become a member of Dongliang County in the name of it, and second, because Hu Xiaotian does not dare to trust the aborigines of Dongliang County itself too much, and most of these people have no sense of belonging to Dakang.
It's hard to rely on them to fight Dayong.
After Hu Xiaotian issued the conscription order, nearly 20,000 people signed up in the refugee camp in just three days, and according to Hu Xiaotian's conditions, if he met the conditions and was conscripted into the army, he could lead a family member to live in Dongliang County, which meant that for these refugees he was temporarily out of the predicament.
Of course, with the development of training, with the promotion of positions in the barracks, or with meritorious achievements, you can get more favorable conditions.
Although there are nearly 20,000 people who have signed up, but really through layers of screening, only 5,000 people meet the requirements, after the initial training, 3,000 people were screened out, and finally only 2,000 people remained, these two thousand people began to deploy while training, Xiasha Port became the focus of defense, as the weather turned cold, there was still a steady stream of refugees smuggling in, although Hu Xiaotian sympathized with the plight of these refugees, but in the face of reality had to choose to refuse ruthlessly, and those who came to join the army and met the conditions were accepted.
A children's hall was specially opened in Dongliang County to accommodate the fleeing children, who were no longer able to take care of the old and weak women.
Even so, a month after Hu Xiaotian arrived in Dongliang County, the refugee camp and the boy boy hall were completely saturated, and it was impossible to accept more refugees.
He ordered his men to arrest the boatmen who smuggled the refugees across the river, and these boatmen transported the refugees in this way to make huge profits, which could be regarded as an opportunity to make a fortune in the country, and these people must be severely punished.
Through the punishment of those who organized smuggling, the occurrence of smuggling was reduced from the source, so that many smugglers began to choose other places as their foothold, and the number of refugees who smuggled to Xiasha City was indeed greatly reduced.
Liang Yinghao and Xiong Tianba walked into the conference hall and saw Hu Xiaotian standing with his back to the door, quietly looking at a map on the wall, the two did not dare to disturb, and waited quietly behind Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian nodded and turned around: "What are you looking for me?"
Xiong Tianba smiled: "Good news, I have found those brothers in Cangmu in the past, and more than two hundred people are all good players, including a hundred marksmen.
"Although the conscription has been continuous recently, but because of the harsh conditions, the number has only just exceeded three thousand, most of these people have not been exposed to actual combat in the past, Xiong Tianba has no headache in order to train these people, with his past two hundred brothers, not only will there be a leap forward in combat effectiveness, but also in terms of training, his pressure has also been reduced a lot.
Hu Xiaotian said to Liang Yinghao: "What news do you have?"
Liang Yinghao said: "I observed the terrain near Dongliang County, in addition to the city wall is the Yongjiang River, and there is no natural danger to defend at the border with Dayong, if you want to strengthen the defense, you must work the city wall." ” Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "There is no need for that for the time being, even if the city wall is made taller and wider, once the Dayong army goes south and besieges Dongliang County, sooner or later it will run out of grain and grass." ” Liang Yinghao said: "I haven't heard of Dayong's sending troops recently, it seems that they are busy with internal affairs, and they don't have the energy to think about going south in a short time."
