Chapter 35
This meeting was presided over by Xiao Mo. The first thing to discuss was about the drainage of Feishui and how the three towns needed to cooperate. The director Lu Lu, as the chief engineer, also participated in the discussion.

The process of the discussion has been going smoothly. Lin Chong, Qiao Zheng, and Chen Gongruo all expressed that they would obey Lu Lu's arrangement and fully cooperate with the drainage.

It wasn't until Xiao Mo said that all the victims of the disaster would be resettled in the three towns that the three Lizhengs frowned and said to Li Ji, "My lord, what's the reason?"

Originally, the three towns couldn't support it anymore. Of course, the situation in Tongshan Town where Lin Chong is located is better, but he is unwilling to accept these victims anymore!

Li Ji didn't answer the three people's questions, but pointed to Xiao Mo, the meaning was very clear, if you have any questions, you can ask him!

There are three Lizhengs, and two of them are his elders. They were dissatisfied, so Xiao Mo could only smile and said: "The matter of the disaster victims was indeed thought up by Xiao Mo. Isn't there a shortage of labor in the drought-stricken areas now? These disaster victims, there are Most of them are men who can farm and cultivate land; moreover, they also need helpers to open iron mines and build windmills, so this is why we send the victims to you!"

What Xiao Mo said is indeed true. The loss of population is also a big problem for the three towns. By doing so, Xiao Mo has indeed ensured that the three towns can continue to cultivate the fields and maintain prosperity after the successful drainage. But the problem is that even if the windmill is built Well, we can't catch up with the spring planting, and we have to persist until the autumn harvest, and the three towns will have food. It's been several months, where can we get food?
Although Lin Chong, Qiao Zheng, and Chen Gongruo all followed Li Ji's words and brought a lot of carts to the county seat, they didn't know that they were asked to carry food. Some carriages are coming.

Seeing the worries of the three of Lin Chong, Xiao Mo said: "Don't worry, you three, since the three towns can accept the victims, the county will also distribute food to the three towns according to the proportion of the number, but because the county is currently short of food, So I had no choice but to take out the three thousand shi grains at the bottom of the pressure box in Fengping warehouse, it depends on whether you want the grains or not!"

Hearing that there was food, both Lin Chong and Chen Gongruo's eyes lit up. Only Qiao Zheng could keep calm. The disaster situation in Tongshan Town is not very serious, and it is much better than Changle Town and Qiao'an Town. Qiao Zheng asked Xiao Mo: "Don't worry. If you're kidding us, tell me first, how do you divide the food and the victims?"

Xiao Mo said: "It's very simple. There are a total of 400 victims, of which 50 are old and weak children, and 70 are laborers. After these victims arrive in your town, let them take root on the ground. From then on If you become a resident of your town, of course, according to the number of people, the county will distribute the food to you. For example, in Tongshan Town, only three to four Zhuangzi were affected by the disaster, and there was no need for a lot of labor, so [-] victims went there. There are [-] farming men and [-] old and weak children, and these [-] people can get five hundred shi of grain!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Mo said to Chen Gongruo: "The disaster situation in Qiao'an Town is relatively serious, so let's divide one hundred men and forty old and weak children to go there, and then distribute one thousand shi of food!"

Qiao Zheng's face twitched when he heard that Qiao'an Town was allocated a thousand shi of grain, but he continued to listen to Xiao Mo's words calmly: "Everyone, Changle Town needs to mine iron ore, supplement labor, and build windmills. , so the rest of the victims will go to Changle Town, and the remaining [-] shi of grain will also be distributed to Changle Town!"

"Hmph!" After Xiao Mo finished speaking, Qiao Zheng's expression changed immediately, and he said to Xiao Mo: "Why do they have two towns, one with [-] shi of grain and the other with [-] shi of grain?"

Xiao Mo said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, didn't I just say that the food is distributed according to the proportion of the victims. With five hundred shi, it is estimated that Tongshan Town will last until the end of the year. When the autumn harvest comes, there will be food. What is so rare ?”

At the end, Xiao Mo said to Lin Chong and Chen Gongruo: "You two Li Zheng, Xiao Mo is a junior, but I still want to say here, if the country is happy, the people will be for the people! If the country is in trouble, the people will be dogs! The disaster victims are all Chinese people, so we must not make any mistakes. Now that we have led them there, we have to be responsible for them. In addition to rushing to work and leading them to build their own houses, we must also take into account the emotions of the victims and avoid conflicts. If there is a conflict, it must be resolved in time..."

After confessing a lot, Xiao Mo's earnest expression was in stark contrast to the rascal's expression in front of Qiao Zheng just now. Seeing Xiao Mo's seriousness, both Lin Chong and Chen Gongruo nodded, and Qiao Zheng was the last one.

Although he had a stern face, Qiao Zheng didn't dare to say anything that he disagreed with. Finally, Xiao Mo said: "You can transport the food tonight, but you can wait until after a while. As for the amount, three people are needed." With Li Zheng's cooperation, Tongshan Township will transport [-] stones first, with a difference of [-] stones; Qiao'an Township will transport [-] stones first, with a difference of [-] stones; Changle Town will also carry away [-] stones first, with a difference of [-] stones .The county will make up for the difference above in mid-April, how about it?"

Hearing that each town had to be short of some food, the three Lizhengs were a little bit reluctant, especially Qiao Zheng. Originally, they had the least food, only five hundred shi, but now it was three hundred shi. The face is black!
But Xiao Mo took out three written receipts in front of the three of them, which clearly stated the matter of the three towns in the county sending grain, including the amount and the date of return, especially the written receipts. The words were written as 'borrow' instead of 'poor', so the three of them finally agreed.

From the beginning to the end, Li Ji didn't open his mouth to speak. It was Xiao Mo who copied all the resettlement of the victims. It wasn't until Lin Chong, Qiao Zheng, and Chen Gongruo signed the paper that Li Ji said: " The three of them are all highly respected people in this county, and they will not fail the county's entrustment and disregard the victims, if such a situation really happens, then don't blame the county for being ruthless!"

The county magistrate opened his mouth, what else could the three of them do other than promise to promise?
In the end, Xiao Mo bowed to the three Lizhengs and said: "Please, you three! In addition to the disaster victims, everyone should fully cooperate with Master Lu's work in the future. What Xiao Mo means is that the three Lizhengs will also be responsible for this The supervisor who built the windmill for the first time will help Master Lu. As for how to do it, it is a matter for you to discuss. Anyway, the plan has been given to Master Lu. At the end of May and early June, I want to see the windmill. Above Feishui! That’s all I’ve said, let’s stop here for today’s discussion, but you must keep this food matter a secret, and don’t leak any information!”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Mo left the study, and the three Li Zheng were invited by Lu Lu.

Lu Lu invited the three of them to discuss the specific distribution of the victims. Xiao Mo didn't go because there was no need to do everything by himself. Some things still need to be done by themselves.

After discussing with Li Zheng from the Three Towns, Xiao Mo returned to the public house, only to see Zhou Chang's attendant Gao Yuan waiting for him.

After Xiao Mo and Gao Yuan met, Gao Yuan said in Xiao Mo's ear: "Your Excellency asked me to tell the Young Mansion that the soldiers you want have already fallen, and they are now on standby at the City Supervision Department. trip?"

The soldiers are here so soon?

Xiao Mo was a little surprised, it seems that Zhou Chang's ability to execute things is quite strong, he nodded, Xiao Mo asked Gao Yuan to lead him the way, and let Zhou Kui push him out of the yamen, and then got into the carriage!

 The third update is complete!
