Hearing this, Qiangzi nodded and carefully put away the wooden sign in his hand.
The day after tomorrow, he can officially enter the Ministry of Industry School to study!
At this time, Qiangzi was extremely excited.
At this time, Hu Changan was in a very good mood.
Today, newspaper propaganda has begun to bear fruit.
The first batch of study places at the Ministry of Industry and Technology School has already been taken up.
In order to appreciate Hu Changan's clever plan, Zhu Yuanzhang gave Hu Changan three days' leave.
Compared with rewards, this is more to Hu Changan's taste.
After all, Hu Changan is not too short of money right now.
To him, money has become a number on paper.
In comparison, a solid vacation is more in line with Hu Changan's appetite.
Hu Changan was filled with joy at the thought of being able to sleep for three long hours.
However, on the first morning, Hu Changan was woken up by the boy's scream: "Sir, it's bad, something big has happened in the soap workshop!"
"What's going on?" Hu Changan got up from the warm bed quite displeased, and motioned vaguely to the boy to speak first.
After receiving Hu Changan's approval, the young man immediately started talking like a barrage of words: "Sir, something bad is going on!"
"Last night, a large wave of refugees rushed into the soap workshop."
"Not only did they eat up all the stocks in the soap factory, they also occupied the factory to sleep!"
"Now there is no way for the soap factory to work."
"Everyone is gathered around the door of the soap workshop, so anxious!"
As soon as Hu Changan heard this, most of his sleepiness disappeared immediately.
Something happened in the soap factory?
That’s really incredible!
Originally, when Hu Changan bought the land, he knew it was the only way for refugees to pass through.
There have been no refugees recently, so Hu Changan gradually forgot about this incident.
Who would have thought that this refugee would come after all!
Hu Changan hurriedly put on his clothes and walked out the door.
The first thing Hu Changan wanted to go to was the Five Cities Army and Horses Division.
After all, refugees have now entered the soap workshop. Hu Changan alone may not be able to drive away so many refugees.
Therefore, Hu Changan must obtain the support of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.
The Five Cities Military and Horse Division is like a complex of urban management, firefighting, and police in later generations.
The matter of refugees is naturally under the jurisdiction of the Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities.
As soon as he arrived at the yamen of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, Hu Changan was warmly received by the commander Luo Yong.
Luo Yong's sense of Hu Changan is quite good.
Although this winter is colder than previous years, thanks to free briquettes in Chang'an, not many people in Yingtian City froze to death!
Naturally, Luo Yong is extremely grateful to Hu Changan.
If the Ming Dynasty had a banner for future generations, Luo Yong would definitely award a big banner to Hu Changan.
After chatting with Luo Yong for a while, Hu Changan also explained his intention to Luo Yong.
Without saying anything, Luo Yong directly assigned a small team of troops to Hu Changan.
After all, the issue of refugees is also within the jurisdiction of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.
Even if Hu Changan is just an ordinary person, Luo Yong still has the obligation to send his officials to provide disaster relief.
When Hu Changan saw this, he also smiled slightly and left directly with the group of sub-officials.
The group of people galloped on the official road, heading towards the location of the soap workshop.
At this time, the soap workshop was in a mess.
Refugees from other places have occupied the entire soap workshop with their families.
The women and children among the refugees were occupying the canteen in the soap workshop and were busy cooking.
The able-bodied men among the refugees stood at the door and were in a stalemate with the workers in the soap workshop.
The atmosphere on the field was condensed, and the crisis was imminent.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from the official road.
After turning a corner, Hu Changan took the lead and appeared in everyone's sight.
Behind Hu Changan, a wave of officers and soldiers followed closely.
When the workers in the soap workshops saw this, they cheered for joy.
It's the young master.
The young master is here to help them!
But the faces of the refugees showed solemn expressions.
Some timid people even want to retreat on the spot.
After all, they were officers and soldiers!
If you go against the officers and soldiers, you will never get any good results.
Seeing this, the leader of the refugees quickly glanced at the crowd seriously.
When everyone saw this, they immediately put away their intention to retreat.
Now, you can’t retreat!
Life has forced them to this point.
Once you retreat, you will die without a burial!
They are going to be severely punished anyway, so why not just eat before going on the road?
Soon, Hu Changan and his party arrived at the door of the soap workshop.
When the officers and soldiers saw the refugees, they all took out their weapons.
One of the leading officials shouted at the refugees: "This soap workshop is private property. Please evacuate as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, be careful that the sword has no eyes!"
Upon hearing this, the refugees suddenly shrank.
But the man at the head was unwilling to be outdone and shouted loudly: "We are all citizens of the Ming Dynasty, why are we not qualified to have a full meal?"
"How come these officials can eat and drink well, but we refugees can only starve and freeze?"
When the refugees heard this, they also shouted loudly and became excited.
"That's right, why are you arresting us? We just came here to have a meal and sleep, what's wrong with that?"
"Either let us have a full meal, or we will fight with you today! Anyway, we are all going to starve to death soon. It is better to be killed than to be starved to death!"
The atmosphere on the field suddenly became more tense.
The leading official also frowned when he saw this.
As officials, the last thing they want to do is to expel the refugees.
These refugees were forced to leave their homes and find a way out because they had no other choice.
Everyone is a very vicious person.
Simply verbal repelling will not work at all.
Only by driving them away by force can these refugees be made obedient.
However, if they are driven away by force, bloodshed will inevitably occur.
This is what no one wants to see.
But no matter what, someone has to do this kind of thing.
The leading official frowned and was about to raise the knife in his hand, signaling for everyone to use force to suppress it.
However, just as the leading official was about to raise his sword, a male voice interrupted his train of thought: "My lord, we might as well talk about the suppression by force later."
"After I finish talking to these refugees, it won't be too late for you to take action."
The person who spoke was none other than Hu Changan.
When the leading officials saw this, they couldn't help but be stunned.
What kind of medicine is Hu Changan selling in this gourd?
It was obviously his property that was occupied by the refugees, but why did Hu Changan look so calm?
Isn't he afraid that these refugees will stay here and not leave?
