Ning Changrong thought for a moment and replied: "General, we actually have enough food. As long as we gather the refugees before and provide them with the grain and rations they need in the early stage, they will continue to produce a lot of food for us later. food."

"In addition, we also have the food that General Ma, General Wang and several other generals brought back when they captured the city, which is enough to supply the needs of one million people for two years."

The reason why there is so much food is also due to the fact that they killed several small aristocratic families. These people took everything into their own homes, including gold, silver, treasures, grain, and cloth in the cellar. In the end, it all became easier for them.

Chang Yuan nodded, "I'm not too worried about the food problem. It's just that with so many people swarming in, trouble can easily arise if one mistake is made. The enemy may find an opportunity to take advantage of it." It was finally possible to manage the business with great difficulty. With the current situation, Chang Yuan didn't want to make such a mistake.

"Although there are a large number of people, in fact, except for a few, most of them are very obedient to discipline. As long as we hold the weapons in our hands, they dare not cause trouble at will." Ning Changrong said patiently: "What these people want is just It’s just a mouthful of food. This is quite simple, but there is an issue of population resettlement that needs to be dealt with urgently.”

Hearing that Ning Changrong had a solution, Chang Yuan hurriedly asked: "Mr. Ning, if you have any questions, tell me quickly."

"I don't know how many diseases these refugees have contracted on their way south. If they are not handled well, one mistake will cause a plague. Therefore, we need to isolate and observe them in different categories first, and only after confirming that there are no problems can they be assigned to various towns. However, Until then, there needs to be enough space for isolation."

Chang Yuan also understood the meaning of isolation. Wang Xiujuan popularized a lot of modern hygiene knowledge in the army.

"General, I want to free up some of the surrounding villages for these refugees to be isolated and observed. After confirming that they are okay, they will be distributed to various towns. In this way, no matter how large the number of refugees is, we can barely cope with it. But we need to compensate the villagers. Some gold, silver or grain."

Chang Yuan thought for a while, this is indeed the best way at present. Ning Changrong is really a natural manager. So many people can operate in such an orderly manner under his management. So far, there has been no turmoil. The refugees were not allowed to storm the city gate.

There must be spies sent by various parties among these refugees. If they are instigated and inspired by people with malicious intentions, it may lead to catastrophe.

But these were all handled quietly by Ning Changrong.

Looking at the other party with a smile, "Mr. Ning, when I invited you to join, now that I think about it, it was the most correct thing for Yuan to do in his life. Since Mr. Ning already has an idea in his mind, let's go ahead and do it. Whatever happens, just come to me."

Ning Changrong likes this about the other party. He doesn't trust others when he uses them, and he will give him all the trust since he is used. Whether it is superficial or real, the other party can at least show that he has trust in him. His appearance is enough to make people fall in love with him.

"Thank you, General."

……

Ning Changrong then divided the matter and drew an area. After determining the place, the county officials first notified the village chiefs of each village, and then the village chiefs notified their villagers.

"Everyone, come to the dam site to gather!"

Hearing the sound of gongs and roars outside, the villagers started talking.

"What's going on? Why do we need to gather together properly?"

"Who knows, might it be the refugees who caused trouble?"

"I don't know. We have soldiers watching outside. The refugees will not come to our village. Moreover, they have also disappeared at the city gate. Why are they coming here to us?"

"Yes, General Chang will definitely not leave them alone when they are hungry. When we escaped, didn't we eat a few full meals before being assigned work, and then we could support ourselves."

Xiaozhuzi has been on holiday these days, and the refugees outside are besieging the city. Although everything is in order so far, and there has been no trouble, the people in the city have no intention of shopping anymore, and all the shopkeepers living outside the city have asked them to go home. A few clerks living in the city were left to barely keep the department store running.

"Xiao Zhuzi, what happened outside?" Xiao Zhuzi's mother walked out with the support of her daughter-in-law.

Xiao Zhuzi walked back from the door of the yard and supported his mother from the other side.

"I don't know. The village chief asked us to gather at the dam. Everyone has to go. Let's go, mother, I'll help you go." Then he said to the woman next to him: "Cui'er, I'll do it. You'll be by your side." Follow." Cui'er smiled and hooked the hair around her ears with her hand, "Let's do it together, it's safe."

The family smiled and walked towards the dam field.

At this time, the dam field had arrived, and many people gathered together, chattering.

Seeing the three of them arriving, acquaintances walked up to them and chatted together.

"Oh, little bamboo is here."

Xiaozhuzi's family said hello one by one.

Seeing that people were almost here, the village chief standing at the front stood directly on the table. He didn't say a word, just staring at the villagers. Everyone's hair stood up at the sight of him, and they felt like they were facing a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. , suddenly did not dare to whisper to each other.

The village chief put away his lifelong momentum and said, "Are you done talking?" The people below were silent.

"Then listen to me."

Everyone was a little frightened when they saw his appearance, fearing that something had happened.

"What a happy event!" The village chief's expression changed, and he smiled so hard that his gums were exposed.

The villagers were confused by his inconsistent attitude.

"There are a lot of refugees coming to our city, everyone knows that, right?"

The villagers all said: "Why is it so clear? These refugees sometimes pass by our village, and everyone can see it."

Fortunately, there were soldiers guarding the outside, otherwise how could they stay as peacefully as they did now?

I just can’t go shopping in the city.

"Village chief, what does the good thing you mentioned have to do with these refugees?" a villager asked.

The village chief smiled, his face no longer serious, "This good thing really has something to do with them. We have been notified from above that we have to move temporarily." Seeing that there was some commotion below, the village chief raised his hand and pressed everyone's The voice, the village chief's prestige was very high, and as soon as the gesture was made, the voice suddenly disappeared again.

"Mr. Ning plans to rent our village and let us move to another place to free up the village for the refugees to live temporarily."

"Of course, Mr. Ning said that we will not let our troubles go in vain. At that time, each household will receive a certain amount of subsidies based on the number of houses you have. I know the situation in our village. Even the smallest family members can at least get it. Take two taels of silver."

As soon as the two taels of silver came out, the crowd was in an uproar.

"Really? Are you really giving two taels of silver? How long will it take to borrow the house?"

This is enough to earn them a whole year's worth of food.

"Mr. Ning is so generous. He originally settled our village for us. All our things belong to him, so why should we give him any money?"

"It's okay for us to leave, and I don't need the money, but what about the crops in the fields? I heard from Mr. Ning that we people are not allowed to have personal contact with the refugees. The refugees live here, and we can't come back to take care of them. Crops." Xiao Zhuzi couldn't help but ask.
