Chapter 623 Visiting the Farm ([-])

"Farming is my duty. My roots are here. I will definitely not walk away. I will use this time to find people with skills from among the refugees to assist me. No one is spared from natural disasters. These talents I was forced to be displaced, live among the refugees, and make money when I find one or two, and then cooperate with each other to get the factory on the right track as soon as possible, so I don’t have to work so hard to run both ways.”

The two village chiefs breathed a sigh of relief.

"These refugees are indeed excellent labor force. After the autumn harvest, some of them can be recruited to dredge the river for us, and help them spend the winter safely with work." Bai Qing said, "I originally recruited some refugees to give Qian The households do some mending and odd jobs, but our own food is limited, and we don’t recruit many people. After the autumn harvest, the new food can expand the number of people.”

"Yes, as long as we have food in our hands, the refugee problem is not a problem, and the local labor force is just short. If they do a good job in the early stage, we can consider negotiating with the government to give them a temporary residence status and set a number of years. Those who have a history of breaking the law will be given official residence registration.” Qi Ke spread his hands, “There are always more solutions than difficulties, use your brains, and it will be beneficial to the local area to keep these laborers.”

What Qi Ke said made Mou Shenjiang, Bai Qing and Cheng Feng all silent. The two village chiefs were a little restless in such an atmosphere, and only Qi Ke and Zhao Lin in the corner of the room looked calm.

"Qi Ke." Mou Shen broke the silence and raised his eyes to look at Qi Ke.

"My lord, please tell me." Qi Ke bowed slightly.

"Do you think there are many refugees in this county?"

"Uh, I don't know the exact number, but it seems to be okay?"

"Then let me tell you that the number of local refugees is indeed not large, because our place is the easternmost coastline, and a large number of refugees who wandered eastward stayed along the way. In fact, not many of them finally reached Donglin County, otherwise the local yamen would not We will not open the city gates and let the refugees enter the city, as in other counties, the city gates are strictly guarded, and the identity documents of the local people will be strictly checked when they enter and leave."

"The county dares to do this because the Bai family army is here. Otherwise, a local county with a large food shortage will definitely close the city gate when it sees refugees coming."

"What you said is also a reason." Mou Shenjiang nodded in agreement, and the others showed a little complacency. This small but factual compliment made them feel very comfortable, "But now the people outside People don’t see it that way, especially after hundreds of thousands of catties of pig roots were sent out in Siliu Village not long ago, and the number of refugees has been increasing.”

"Uh, I really don't know." Neither Qi Ke nor Zhao Lin paid special attention to the number of refugees. It made no difference to them whether they increased or not. What they valued was that these ready-made refugees could be absorbed and worked. enough.

"If you send out the same amount of food after the autumn harvest, then a large number of refugees will rush to Donglin County to seek a chance before winter begins."

"Hehe, there will only be more and no less food during the autumn harvest, and there will be a lot of livestock and medicinal materials."

"...!!!" The news Qi Ke gave was so shocking that it completely wiped out what Mou Shen was going to say. The five big men present were all stunned, their mouths were so wide open that they could stuff a whole egg.

"Are you serious?!" The happiest person was naturally Bai Qing. The public grain handed over by the villages and towns under his rule were all concentrated in his hands and redistributed by him, so the more public grain he had, the more things he could do. It is not unreal for refugees to use work as relief.
