According to Jin Feng's living standards in his previous life, this kind of house couldn't be more shabby, and it was even worse than those abandoned unfinished buildings.
But even such a simple house still makes Donghai refugees excited.
They used to live in thatched houses in their hometown. When it rained, there would be heavy rain outside and small rain at home.
Before fleeing, refugees had no sense of security.
Their only extravagant hope is that after arriving in the East China Sea, as rumored, they can beg for a sip of porridge to avoid starving to death.
It would be even more perfect if we could find another ruined temple to stay in.
As a result, after arriving in Donghai, they not only found jobs and had enough to eat every day, but they even lived in brick houses.
Neither the Yuwen family nor the Zhou family dared to say this when they tricked the refugees into coming to the East China Sea.
The counselors of the two families made a rough estimate in advance. Even if half of the people they incited went to the East China Sea, tens of thousands of people could gather in a short time.
To feed so many refugees, the amount of food that needs to be consumed every day is an extremely huge amount.
Even if Jin Feng can persist for a short period of time, he will never be able to persist for a long time.
After all, if you think about it from another person's perspective, if they were Jin Feng, they would never give away so much food to unrelated refugees.
When Jin Feng stops giving porridge, the Yuwen family and Zhou family's arrangements among the refugees will incite the refugees to rebel and besiege the dock.
Unfortunately, their plan was discovered in advance by the Ninth Princess and was thwarted.
Not only did he fail to kill Jin Feng and Ninth Princess, but he also took the lives of his whole family.
In fact, when the Yuwen family and the Zhou family carefully discovered that the Ninth Princess and "Jin Feng" left the dock in an airship and sent the news back, both the Yuwen family and the Zhou family had a fierce argument.
Some tribesmen feel that the plan to use refugees to siege the dock is well-established and the safest. Now that refugees have begun to flock to the East China Sea, the plan is already half successful, so they should wait patiently.
Another group of people believed that the Ninth Princess and "Jin Feng" took the airship to Guandao, probably to observe the situation of the refugees.
If they find that there are too many refugees and are scared away, then the plan will completely fail.
What they should have done at that time was to take advantage of the fact that the Ninth Princess and "Jin Feng" were on the airship, use the numerical advantage of the falcons to attack the airship, and kill the Ninth Princess and "Jin Feng".
After intense discussion, the second group of tribesmen finally won.
Because the heads of the two families also felt that Princess Ninth and Jin Feng would most likely run away when they saw the situation of the refugees.
By then, no matter how perfect their plan is, it will be empty talk.
In fact, what they didn't know was that Jin Feng never planned to escape.
Even if the Ninth Princess hadn't appeared, their plan might not have been successful.
Although Jin Feng didn't know the plans of the Yuwen family and the Zhou family, he knew in advance that refugees were gathering in large numbers towards the East China Sea.
The Yuwen family and the Zhou family were reluctant to give food to the refugees, but Jin Feng was willing.
On the day he learned that the refugees were coming to the East China Sea, Jin Feng asked Tang Xiaobei to transport grain from the south of the Yangtze River to prepare for the flow of refugees.
The food transferred from Jiangnan, coupled with the kelp from Maolang Island, is enough to feed the refugees.
Moreover, Jin Feng has also made a plan to resettle refugees so that they can not only have food to eat, but also find a job to support their families and survive for a long time.
For refugees, as long as their parents, wives, and children can stutter and don't starve to death, that's enough.
Not to mention living in a brick house.
This is something that refugees would never even think about before arriving.
Later, during the construction, some escorts chatted with the refugees and told them that this was a house built for themselves. Most of the refugees couldn't believe it.
In the end, it was Zuo Feifei who asked the postman to publicly announce the incident while reading the newspaper, and then arranged for some refugees to move into the newly built dormitories in advance. Only then did the refugees finally believe it.
After confirming that these houses were really built for themselves, the refugees' enthusiasm for work obviously increased a lot.
Although the escort clearly told them that these brick houses were not free to live in and they had to pay rent, they still could not stop the enthusiasm of the refugees.
Because when she came here, Zuo Feifei said that not only would she have food to eat, but she would also be paid a few cents a day.
Knowing that most of the refugees were in urgent need of money, Zuo Feifei specifically stated that wages would be paid every ten days in the first two months.
Now many refugees have received wages twice.
The rent for a brick house is only a dozen cents per month, which they can afford.
In order to live in brick houses as soon as possible, many refugees are unwilling to get off work at night, insisting on letting the bodyguards light bonfires and then work overtime.
Therefore, the plans of the Yuwen family and the Zhou family are impossible to succeed.
Zheng Chiyuan's heart surges every time he thinks of what Jin Feng did after coming to Donghai.
It has been less than three months since Jin Feng came to Donghai, but Donghai has undergone earth-shaking changes.
If anyone else had faced the sudden influx of tens of thousands of refugees, they would have fled long ago.
Instead of running away, Jin Feng faced the difficulties and took the initiative to solve the refugee problem, and solved it perfectly.
Yuxi Town, which was originally too busy to take care of itself, instead of becoming more chaotic and poor due to the arrival of refugees, has become lively and prosperous.
Every time he saw the refugees who were working hard, wiping away their sweat and smiling innocently, Zheng Chiyuan felt that their eyes were shining with hope, as if their lives had suddenly made progress.
In fact, when Zheng Chiyuan learned that the four princes had rebelled and that the vassal kings from various places had proclaimed themselves kings, he also had the idea of self-reliance.
After all, he controls the only navy in Dakang. If he rebels, no one can do anything to him.
But after repeated thinking, Zheng Chiyuan finally gave up this idea and chose to surrender to Jin Feng.
Every time he thinks of his original choice, Zheng Chiyuan feels scared and happy.
I'm glad I made the right choice in the first place.
Other feudal lords may not have the means to fight against the navy, but the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau does.
If Zheng Chiyuan had chosen to learn from other vassal kings, I am afraid that the navy would no longer exist now.
Even if Zheng Chiyuan could escape, there would be no place for him in the East China Sea, and he would have no choice but to flee and become the pirate he hated most.
Zheng Chiyuan had been too tired recently and rarely had some rest, so he ordered the fleet to anchor and dock on the sea not far from the Yangtze River outlet, while he returned to the cabin to catch up on his sleep.
He slept until the afternoon. Zheng Chiyuan was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard the shouts of soldiers outside.
"Quick, lift the anchor! Raise the sail!"
Zheng Chiyuan quickly put on his clothes, ran out of the cabin, and saw a panic on the deck.
The soldiers rushed to their respective posts, some weighed the anchor, some raised the sail, and some turned the rudder.
"What's going on?" Zheng Chiyuan grabbed a soldier and asked.
"General, look to the west!" The soldier pointed to the west with a pale face.
Zheng Chiyuan subconsciously turned his head and looked to the west.
I saw that the river surface in the west was densely covered with wood.
