Chapter 73 Settlement of Refugees
  As soon as Li Rushi and others were sent away, Fang Dashan also arrived with others. He immediately came up and apologized: "Your Majesty, our rescue was late and you were frightened."

"It's okay. A few little thieves are not a big problem. If you encounter a Tatar attack, you have to move faster." Lin Feng still clicked. This is the first time to cooperate together.

If I didn't have a portable space, I might have to explain it here.

"Understood, we will carefully summarize and make corrections later." Fang Dashan replied anxiously.

"Let's go clean up the battlefield together." Lin Feng did not dwell on this matter. It was normal for the newly formed escort team to have little experience in fighting and encounter some problems.

In front of the west gate of Fugu, the rioters died, were injured, and fled. Several porridge stalls were overturned to the ground, and some shacks built by refugees were also set on fire. The scene was chaotic.

Other refugees who did not participate in the riot were also squatting aside and shivering, wondering whether the officials would be angry with them.

At this time, Fang Tiezhu came back with his men to chase the scar-faced monkey. The guy was indeed a monkey, and he ran away very fast.

After Lin Feng looked around, he said to Fang Tiezhu: "Tiezhu, your civilian team immediately cleans the battlefield, counts the casualties, and screens the refugees who participated in the riot. We will capture them together and then deal with them."

"Yes" Fang Tiezhu took the order and left.

"Where is Zhao Jialiang?" Lin Feng called.

"Sir, the younger one is here." Zhao Jialiang replied quickly.

"You organize the villagers to clean up the place immediately, restore the porridge stalls, and organize porridge soup after order is restored. The mountain guards are responsible for the protection." Lin Feng ordered.

"Yes!" the two responded.

After arranging the two main items, Lin Feng did not stay where he was. Instead, he went to the West City Tower to check the situation and wait for news.

On the way to the gate tower, Lin Feng asked Lin Jiakang to go to the county government office to call Su Shunian from the household, Hu Yanming from the workhouse, Jiang Yin from the execution house, and others.

Prepare to use Dongfeng to deal with civil unrest and resettle the refugees outside the city.

Lin Feng came to the city tower and watched Fang Tiezhu lead the people's strong team to isolate a group of rioters who had just rushed to the city gate to participate in the siege. Then, based on the dictation of the people who were giving soup outside the city, they arrested other people who participated in the vandalism, smashing and looting. personnel.

Zhao Jialiang took twenty or thirty of his villagers and began to clean up the smashed porridge stalls and put out some shacks that were still burning.

Fang Dashan led the escort team to patrol nearby to deter people with ulterior motives, and soon order was restored in the entire refugee gathering place outside the city.

After a while, Fang Tiezhu came up with a man dressed as a guard flag.

He pointed at the small flag and said: "Your Majesty, this is Guo Zheng, the small flag of Fugu Baihu Office. He said that he stuffed a letter in your office to call the police this morning. He just helped us kill someone who wanted to be a spy." The chief of the hundred households at the city gate used his banner to stop them from opening the city gate."

"Oh, are you the one who left a message claiming to be a conscientious guard soldier?" Lin Feng asked.

"It's the villain." Guo Zheng replied.

"Why did you think of calling the police to us and stopping your superior?"

"My lord, my family is in Dabao Town. The Liu family has taken over all the land. My father wanted to ask for an explanation, but he was beaten and crippled by the Liu family's servants. Your Excellency, you are not afraid of the power and inspected it. Liu family, I can't say how happy I am.

On weekdays in Baihu Station, Baihu officials and the general banner also try every possible means to squeeze the brothers below. I have long hated them. But being alone and weak, I can only make do with them.

This time I learned that they were going to collude with the rebels to attack the county town and avenge Liu Qianhu's family, so I found an opportunity to warn you. "Guo Zheng briefly talked about what happened.

When Lin Feng heard about it, he realized that he was an underground worker hiding inside the enemy. He was very good.

Then he solicited: "Guo Xiaoqi, you made the right choice and you are very methodical in doing things. I wonder if you are interested in coming to the county government to help me with work?"

"Everything is decided by the county magistrate alone!" Guo Zheng naturally couldn't go back to the Hundred Household Office, so he immediately agreed without hesitation.

"Tie Zhu, have you calculated the casualties?" Lin Feng then asked.

"Back to the county, according to preliminary statistics, more than ten people were killed or injured in our people's army and government officials, and more than twenty people were killed or injured in the porridge delivery service outside the city.

In this battle, more than 40 rioters were killed, nearly 100 were injured, and more than 100 rioters were arrested, including the bald Zheng who attacked the county magistrate. Fang Tiezhu replied.

"Fang Xiaoyu, you immediately take the arresting squad officer to interrogate the leader of the rioters and make sure he vomits out everything he knows." Lin Feng ordered. “Understood!” Fang Xiaoyu immediately went to do it.

"Fang Tiezhu, you lead a team of civilians to the Fugu Hundred Household Office to arrest that hundred households. If you dare to collude with the rebels to attack the city, I must file a good complaint with the state government. Guo Zheng, you can also lead the way." Lin Feng ordered.

"Yes!" The two walked away.

At this time, Su Shunnian, Hu Yanming and others also arrived.

Lin Feng asked the two of them to sit down, and then said: "There have been riots today, so the resettlement of the refugees outside the city is urgent. You must implement it immediately."

"Sir Hu, as discussed yesterday, your workshop immediately recruits people to build housing for the displaced persons, and organizes people to work. If there is food, chaos will be less likely to occur."

"Okay, I'll implement it immediately."

"When you build housing for the refugees, one thing is to plan it carefully and don't make it chaotic. I think it should be built at the southwest corner of the West City Gate, so as not to block the official road. The other thing is to move quickly. It's already very cold today. If we delay it any longer, we may freeze to death." Lin Feng added.

"Young official understands!" Hu Yanming replied.

“Li Si Su, your household department will hurry up and register the households of the people who are willing to stay outside the city to enrich the population of our Fugu County.

Those who are willing to be registered as households and stay will be allowed to cultivate public land controlled by the county government based on the standard of five acres of land per person. They will pay rent at a rate of 20% in the first year and 30% in the future. These lands are not allowed to be bought or sold. Lin Feng explained, and by the way, he mentioned the land policy he was considering, which was to combine public land and private land.

"Your Majesty, where does this public land come from?" Su Shunnian asked.

"Of the 7500 acres of land inspected last time by the Liu family, 1500 acres will be reserved for other uses. The other 6000 acres can be used as public land of the county government and leased to landless people for farming." Lin Feng said.

"My subordinates understand, our household will start processing it immediately." Su Shunnian replied.

In this way, at least more than a thousand people can be accommodated in the rented fields, five to six hundred people can be recruited in the work houses, and then the Zhenming Group and the Minzhuang Team can come to pick some people, and the refugees outside the city can be resettled.

Once these refugees are organized, they will be a source of increased strength in the future.

Not long after the arrangements for the resettlement of the refugees were completed, Fang Tiezhu came back to resume his duties.

"The county magistrate, there is no Baihu Yulin and another general banner Zhao Qi in Baihu Station. He said that he went to Yulin Guard yesterday. It seems that they were well prepared."

"Did you find any other evidence?"

"There is no written evidence, and Mao Dayong is dead. The other guards who came with him to seize the city gate acted according to his instructions, and cannot directly testify against that hundred households."

"Okay, this Yulin guard won't return to the state government. Let's report it to them first and let them argue."

Lin Feng didn't take it seriously. It involves both the military and political systems, so relying on the power of the officialdom is definitely not enough. Even if the lawsuit goes to the governor's office, it will be settled. If you want revenge, you have to rely on yourself.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with the refugees who participated in the rebellion?" Fang Tiezhu asked for instructions.

"Screen them, and pull out the leaders, such as the bald Zheng, and chop them to shock other refugees." Lin Feng ordered, these people should be kept for the New Year if not killed.

"What about the remaining general participants?" Fang Tiezhu asked next.

"These people are sent to forced labor camps," Lin Feng said.

"My lord, what is reform through labor?"

"It's reform through labor. Let these people do any hard work, give them food to eat, and don't starve to death. They work for two or three years to see their performance, and then decide whether to release them." Lin Feng explained.

"This method is good!" Fang Tiezhu praised.

"The reform-through-labor personnel will be handed over to the Li family's Li's Building, and your Minzhuang team will send out a small team to help take care of them." Lin Feng arranged. The construction industry needs coolies the most, and this money cannot be drained away.

"Understood!" Fang Tiezhu said.

 It has been promoted for the second time. Please support me.
