Chapter 267 Refugee Management

Perhaps with the experience of the first two groups, the escape route of the third group of refugees seemed much easier. They even took the cotton cloth accumulated at home on the boat.

"Sir, we have nothing but these cotton cloths. I know that the merchants are buying cotton cloth in Bashu, and we will not disturb the market in Bashu. We just want to exchange these cotton cloths for some food after we get off the boat." The village elder said through gritted teeth.

The Qin general on the river boat glanced at the shivering Chu people, opened his eyes and said: "I can't make the decision in this matter, but I can promise you to allow cotton to board the boat."

"Thank you, sir!" Chu people cried with joy.

Maybe cotton can't be exchanged for anything, but with cotton, it feels like I have something to rely on.

After Duoyu learned about this, he asked Mao Xue to purchase the cotton on the ship at a price that was 30% off the market price.

"30% off?! No! This is too cheap for them!" Liu Ji jumped and firmly disagreed.

Han Fei frowned: "We only planted cotton for one year and spent most of the cotton seeds in Chu State. Chu State's cotton output is far higher than ours!"

If it weren't for the exquisite skills of the Textile Bureau, the cotton in Bashu County would have been squeezed out.

Because Bashu County has less cotton production than Chu State and better production technology, it has been taking the high-end cotton route, and the price is 50% higher than Chu cotton.

"Sir, there is another bumper harvest of food this year. Why don't we use Chu Nan's food in exchange for their cotton cloth? What they want most is not money, but food." Liu Ji rolled his eyes and said.

The grain-producing areas of Bashu County are mainly divided into three major areas, Badi, Shudi and Chunan.

Due to years of meticulous care, the fields in Shu have high yields and full rice grains.

Badi followed, and Chu Nan was the worst.

The land in Chunan has only been cultivated for two years, and the output is half of that in Shu. The rice produced is not as delicious as that in Bashu and Bashu, so the market price is cheaper.

Many fish…

"Okay, I'll exchange it for food according to your opinion. I'll leave this matter to you."

Liu Ji didn't want to be responsible for this matter, but when he thought about the misery of the refugees when she saw it, she might wave her hand and Bashu County would suffer!

"Here!" Liu Ji touched the top of his hair. This family has to rely on itself!

After listening to Liu Ji's words, Mao Xue made a decision: "Sir, I want to hire women among the refugees to make clothes. Some of these women have relatives, and some are alone. Even if they are independent women, their lives will be difficult. It’s more difficult.”

Being unfamiliar with the place and not understanding the Qin language, it was difficult for them to find work opportunities in Bashu.

And because Prime Minister Lu Buwei proposed last year that women should also collect a poll tax, now ordinary men hope that their wives can support their families.

These female refugees from Chu State cannot find jobs and cannot get married, so there is only one way out.

Mao Xue doesn't want them to take that road. Now the status of women is getting higher year by year. As long as they find a way to make a living, they will know how good Bashu is!

The Textile Bureau does not have the business of making ready-made clothes. Most of the people buy their own cloth and make their own clothes.

Mao Xue wants to enter this area, and many fish certainly support it.

Many Fishes: "You can go to the Chamber of Commerce."

Mao Xue instantly understood that the Chamber of Commerce would usually do charity activities such as building bridges and building roads to help the victims, so how could they be left out?

Of course, according to the style of the Chamber of Commerce, they will definitely not invest a large amount of money to steal the reputation of the female queen.

Mao Xue can discuss the sale of cotton clothes with them! There are so many staff members in the chamber of commerce, and one person can buy a set of comfortable and breathable cotton clothes. This order is enough!

The quality of Chu cotton is not as good as Qin cotton, but it can’t stand up to Mao Xue’s low acquisition cost! This can happen!

Mao Xue's thinking was completely open. There were hundreds of thousands of guards in Bashu County, and these were all potential customers!

When Mao Xue thought of this, her heart felt hot, and she pulled Liu Ji and hurried to the dock. When the number of river boats transporting Chu State refugees increased from one to five, collective refugees based on clans or villages began to appear among the refugees.

This is one of the unstable factors brought about by accepting refugees.

Being able to persist until this point and being able to escape to the Qin State with the entire family or village shows that these people are capable. They may have been small landowners or even low-level officials in the Chu State.

The truly poor people will not be able to survive as early as the very beginning.

If it were any other vassal state, they would have avoided the refugees long ago and would most likely have driven them away.

But for Qin, this kind of thing is too common, and everyone has extremely rich management experience from top to bottom.

The Qin State had very little territory and population at the beginning. It used the "guest" system to attract high-level talents from various countries and used the "farming war" to attract refugees.

For Qin, the more refugees the better.

Many Fish handed over the matter of dealing with the refugee clan to Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan was so excited that he issued a military order: "I will never let the refugees live in chaos, otherwise I will come to see you!"

Many fish felt at ease with Liu Xuan. At that time, he had nothing, so he could lead a group of refugees to the Lianpo fiefdom alone. Later, he stayed in Zhao State, where he rose to the rank of doctor, noble, middle-ranking scholar, and descended to all three religions and nine streams. Can build good relationships.

After coming to Bashu, he first studied in the academy for a year, and then took the initiative to apply for a rotation at the grassroots level to deepen his understanding of Bashu.

I have been sharpening my sword for ten years just for this moment of unsheathing!

Liu Xuan thought the same way. His eldest son and second son were highly valued by Heidou. His wife often helped Mao Xue. His Ji'er was even more prosperous. As an old man, he couldn't lag behind. them!

After Liu Xuan went to deal with the refugees in a hurry, many fish stretched their backs.

"You are the most relaxed now." Han Fei held a stack of processed documents and handed them to many fish to sign.

Many Fish took out a jade private seal half the size of a palm from his arms. The private seal was as red as blood, with a sickle shape on it. Under the sunlight, there seemed to be a warm red light flowing inside.

Many fish pressed their private seals on the ink pads and stamped their seals on the documents.

Thank you Shu Zhi, thank you for your kindness, thank you Zhang Qing!

Han Fei said sourly: "You are so lazy that you can't even sign your name, but they are spoiling you."

Many of Yu's subordinates know that their female queen has many things to do every day. In order to reduce her workload, Zhang Qing and Xiangli Zhongyi worked together to specially develop ink pads that do not melt when exposed to water.

This ink pad is a perfect match when used with Sichuan paper!

Many members of the chamber of commerce and nobles from vassal states wanted to buy at high prices, but Zhang Qing refused.

Later, after Duoyu learned about it, he asked Zhang Qing to sell it normally, and he would not make a bastard if he had money.

Zhang Qing wanted his daughter to enjoy it for herself, so she specially found this rare blood-colored gemstone and had it carved into a private seal by Xiangli Zhong himself.

Many fish love the private seal so much that they carry it with them everywhere: "It's funny, it's all from your heart."

Han Fei snorted and turned his head.
