Qinzhou and the north bank of the Weihe River were full of tents. The last time they were full was four years ago, when Li Ye had just moved from Jingxiang to Longyou. At that time, Qinzhou was full of refugees from Shanzhou, Hezhou and other places.
Last year, the last batch of Shanzhou refugees returned to their hometown. I thought that these refugee camps would no longer be used. Unexpectedly, just one year later, these refugee camps were once again occupied by refugees who had escaped from Guanzhong.
Accompanied by Shi Cui Guangyuan, the deputy chief of the Helong Jiedu Mansion in charge of government affairs, Li Ye once again came to Qinzhou to inspect. Sun Quanxu, the newly appointed governor of Qinzhou, and Su Zhen, the chief governor of Qinzhou, also accompanied King Qi to inspect the refugee camp.
Li Ye came to the camp by the river. A large group of children were playing on the grass. Suddenly, a family member called them anxiously, and the children rushed home.
At this time, Jia Shen, ordered by the UN Refugee Agency, hurried over to salute Li Ye and said, "See you, Your Highness!"
Li Ye nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, Jia signed the order!"
He turned over and dismounted and looked around the refugee camp. He saw that the refugee camp was neat and orderly, the ground was clean, and there was no sewage flowing across it. In the distance were toilets surrounded by wooden bars and filled with lime.
"Well done!" Li Ye praised sincerely.
Jia Shen introduced: "Your Highness, the refugee camp has been renovated several times, and now the various facilities are very complete. It is not as dilapidated and dirty as before, so I was reluctant to dismantle it, so I kept it. I didn't expect it to be restored so quickly."
Used it."
"How many people are in the refugee camp now?"
"Currently there are 4,260 households with more than 15,000 people."
The number of refugees is not large. Generally, refugees are in the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or 200,000. Li Ye also breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the wave of flight caused by inflation is still far from being compared with natural disasters.
.
"Have they registered? Why are they fleeing? Also, do they want to live in Longyou permanently, or do they want to flee temporarily?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, I have inquired with my subordinates. These fugitives are refugees who fled to Chang'an from other places. Most of them are refugees from Hebei. The rise in prices has a huge impact on them. They really can't survive in Guanzhong, so they fled.
to Longyou, and most of them want to stay in Longyou."
Li Ye nodded, "Register first, and then consider resettlement. We'll see how many more refugees flee later."
Next to him, Qin Governor Shi Suzhen said: "The autumn harvest is about to begin. I estimate that there will not be too many refugees fleeing in the future, or they will be refugees who fled elsewhere to Guanzhong."
Su Zhen's words reminded Li Ye, and he turned around and asked Cui Guangyuan, "When will the wheat harvest in the Hehuang Valley begin?"
"There are about ten days left!"
Li Ye then said to Jia Shen: "Prepare thousands of carts and send them to Hehuang to participate in wheat harvesting, and then place them in the Hehuang Valley. There is still a lot of land that has not been cultivated in Shancheng County.
There are tents and various supplies.”
Li Ye then said to Changsun Quanxu and Su Zhen: "Qinzhou will fully cooperate. If there are not enough carts, ask Cui Changshi in time!"
Everyone saluted together and said, "Obey!"
After finding an opportunity, Li Ye left Su Zhen alone again. Li Ye said apologetically: "Originally, I was planning to let Su Changshi take over as the governor of Qinzhou. Because of the arrival of General Changsun, I had to wrong Su Changshi again."
Su Zhen said quickly: "I will obey any arrangement of His Highness and I will never complain!"
Li Ye nodded and asked: "If Su Changshi is transferred, who can take over the position of Changshi? Does Su Changshi have any recommendations?"
Su Zhen thought for a while and said: "The main reason is that the governor of Changsun has just taken office and is not familiar with the situation. For the humble position, I recommend Liu Sima. He is a native of Qinzhou and has been working in the county for a long time. He has been promoted from civil servant to Sima step by step. He is very capable."
He is strong and familiar with the situation, so he is the most suitable!"
Li Ye remembered that Qinzhou Sima Liu Wei was not very handsome and was less than forty years old. Li Mi had also recommended this person to him. Although he did not have a professional background, he had outstanding abilities.
"I understand, Su Changshi can choose Jingzhou Governor or Ezhou Governor, choose one of the two."
Su Zhen thought for a while and said: "If possible, I would like to work in Jingzhou."
Li Ye smiled slightly and said: "Jingzhou crosses the Yangtze River, and you will have to run away in the future. Su Changshi will make some preparations, and the appointment will arrive in a few days."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness!"
Li Ye nodded and said: "The most important task in Jingzhou right now is to prepare for war. Our next step is to recapture Jingxiang. There is still a large amount of food, soldiers, tents and other materials in Bashu, which will be shipped to Jingzhou soon, so we are building
The warehouse is a priority.”
"His Highness's instructions, I will remember them!"
Li Ye then inspected the refugee camp. In a large tent, hundreds of refugees surrounded the city. Li Ye and a dozen old people sat on the ground and talked about their future lives.
Li Ye smiled and said to everyone: "Among them, Shanzhou and Guanzhong have similar climates, but there is plenty of sunshine, three large rivers, abundant water sources, and fertile land. There are basically no natural disasters. It has always been a famous grain producing area. The Longyou Festival that year
The official office of Dufu is in Shanzhou. You can live in the county town or in the countryside. The tax is very low, and it is tax-free for the first ten years. It is a good place to live and work in peace and contentment."
An old man worriedly asked: "Excuse me, Your Highness, how is the situation of the Tibetan people now?"
This is also the focus of everyone's worries. They did not dare to flee to Longyou before because they were afraid of the Tubo people. Hundreds of pairs of eyes were looking at Li Ye.
Li Ye nodded, "I believe this is also the security issue that everyone is most concerned about. I can tell you frankly that the Tibetan army has been driven to the plateau by us, and it is impossible for them to fight back.
The population of Tubo was actually very small. After a hundred years of war with the Tang Dynasty, they had almost no young men left to fight. Therefore, in the late Tianbao period, the Tubo army retreated steadily and was driven back to the plateau. If it had not been for the Anlushan Rebellion
In the event of an outbreak, the Tibetans had no chance at all.
Now they have no chance. I assure you that there are powerful soldiers of the Tang Dynasty guarding the territory. The Tibetan army cannot cross Chiling. My army will protect everyone's peace for a hundred years."
Li Ye's sonorous and powerful answer attracted a round of applause from everyone, and everyone began to get excited and look forward to a new life.
"May I ask, Your Highness, King Qi, how much land can we get?" a middle-aged man asked loudly.
Li Ye smiled slightly and said, "Each household has about a hundred acres. If you join the Helong Army, you will get another dozens of acres to a hundred acres of land. If you are disabled in the war, you will get an additional fifty acres of land. If you are unfortunately killed in battle, you will get an additional land of 50 acres."
Hundred acres of pension land, these are laws that have been implemented for many years, and many soldiers have benefited greatly, so our army's combat effectiveness is so strong and invincible."
Li Ye's words moved many people. An old man asked: "Your Highness, if our children also want to join the army, can they be accepted?"
Li Ye smiled and said, "Of course. As long as you have a normal physique and are not too thin, we will hire you. If you have special abilities, such as being a good scuba diver or having great strength, we will also hire you as a scout and you will be treated more generously."
Li Ye chatted with everyone, and the symposium lasted for more than an hour before finally ending.
