"Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Jizhou are actually the three most severely affected states. On the contrary, Liaodong and western Liaoning have suffered very little damage." Chen Xi gave an overall explanation of the current situation to Liu Bei on the carriage.
Although Gongsun Gong of Liaodong did not have any great ambitions, his civil servant Liang Mao was very good at work. In addition, when his father Gongsun Du took advantage of the chaos in Qingzhou to build Liaodong, he attracted many talents to Liaodong.
The foundation was laid.
After Gongsun Gong took over, all he had to do was advance step by step. In addition, the Gongsun family's shipbuilding technology was very good, and Liaodong itself had heavy snow every year, so he spent half of the year overhauling various thermal insulation equipment.
Therefore, this year's heavy snow is only a little bit heavy for people in Liaodong. After all, in the past, the heavy snow here would be more than one meter thick. Now it is slightly thicker, and it has not exceeded the previous reserved amount, so
There was no problem at all in Liaodong.
As for the resettlement sites of the major aristocratic families in the Northeast, they have been built to the highest standards since the beginning, with underground palaces, floor heating, double walls, stoves, fire walls, etc. Even if the etching technology is finished, these aristocratic families have nothing.
thing.
The three places that were really affected by the disaster were Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou. Yongliang was actually not that serious. Although Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou also had snow, these places actually had a one-foot fall from the original area.
Thick, increase to two feet.
In addition, these four states are basically north of the Huaihe River. They are already used to snowing at the end of the year. Even if it doesn’t snow at the end of the year, they will feel that something is missing. And for people in these places, snow more than a foot thick is not only
It is not considered a disaster, but a reflection of a good year.
The areas that are really suffering are those south of the Yangtze River and north of the Yellow River. These two places are really affected by the disaster. North of the Yellow River, the snow falls to four or five feet, or even thicker, while south of the Yangtze River, it only takes a light snowfall.
It's a fatal attack.
"Does that mean those five states are actually affected by the disaster?" Liu Bei pointed at the map and asked, "It snowed in Jingxiang and Yangzhou."
"Yes, but both Zhang Ziqiao and Liao Gongyuan made preparations in advance and did not cause too much loss of personnel." Chen Xi nodded and said, "As for the north, it is relatively better. There are already many people in the north.
The habit of stocking up for autumn.”
These days, in winter, for the common people, they try not to go out if they can. Therefore, after the harvest festival, all kinds of reserves are basically made, so food does not really need to be considered.
"I saw a lot during my time in Bingzhou, and the children today are much stronger than we were at that time." Liu Bei recalled it and said with some emotion.
"After all, I didn't have enough to eat back then. Now that I can eat enough, of course I have grown stronger. And you can exercise only when you are full. Enough exercise will make your body stronger." Chen Xi said calmly, "
However, in addition to causing some trouble, this heavy snow also has some benefits, although they are not many."
"What are the benefits of such heavy snow?" Liu Bei asked in surprise.
"At least we know what work should be arranged for the villages in the north next year. Small processing plants will not be able to make it in time, but next year we can let professionals come down to determine how to transform the villages, and there will be no such problems in the future." Chen Xi smiled.
explained.
"Is this a good thing?" Liu Bei said angrily.
"Well, this doesn't count. What's really a good thing is that there are people everywhere who used to live in the mountains and forests. They didn't want to believe our propaganda before, but this time they couldn't stand the cold and ran out." Chen Xi looked on.
Said calmly.
Chen Xi really had no way to deal with these people. The other party was unwilling to gather villages and merge into strongholds. Moreover, if they used the Imperial Iron Fist to forcibly move them, the other party would directly rely on the terrain and run into the deep mountains and old forests. This made Chen Xi very helpless.
After all, the Han Dynasty is not a super powerful country in later generations. It can be done without moving if it does not want to. There are ten families living in the mountainous area here, so build a road here, and the government will provide electricity, water, Internet, and home appliances.
Going to the countryside and renovating old houses will be completely done directly for you.
The problem is that Chen Xi does not have the fighting power. For Chen Xi, if the village population is less than 700 people, own access roads, water network renovation, old house renovation, and logistics renovation are all losses in non-plain areas, although it is not a loss even if it is a loss.
If you can't bear it, you can get it back sooner or later if it develops.
But in this kind of mountain, where seven or eight families live together, they do not merge villages into villages and let Chen Xi build a road to get in. Chen Xi has the intention of killing people, so Chen Xi chooses to merge villages into villages.
Relatively speaking, Chen Xi's method of merging villages with villages has been very gentle. When Qiao Qiao entered the Qinling Mountains before, he encountered some abandoned old houses in the Qinling Mountains. These houses were left over from the merging of villages. The theory is that
It is still the hometown of the family who once lived there.
Even the nostalgic people would come back every once in a while, but as time went by and after realizing the conveniences of their new home, they returned less and less to their old home, and eventually they gradually abandoned it. This is what Chen Xi has been pushing for.
direction.
But the problem is that not all people can accept this kind of action of integrating villages and merging villages. Some people have a congenital distrust of the government. This is a problem left over from history. As a result, when the merging of villages is implemented, some people directly
I ran deeper into the mountains and into the forest farm.
These days, even in the most prosperous Central Plains, if you leave the city, there won't be many people around you soon, so these people go directly to the mountainous areas. After the forest area, Chen Xi actually has nothing to do. According to Chen Xi's estimation, in the market
In the process of merging villages, it is definitely not a problem that one-fiftieth of the population has been lost due to distrust of the government and bureaucrats.
Although one-fiftieth of the population is still in the Central Plains, Chen Xi cannot count it anyway, and continuing to pursue resettlement is actually of no use. It will only make the other party more suspicious of the Han Dynasty's true thoughts, so for this
For part of the population, Chen Xi could only give up first.
Later, after the people were pulled up by combining villages and villages, the group of people who fled came back one after another based on the news passed by their relatives and friends.
Regarding these people, Chen Xi's attitude is very clear. If he meets anyone who belongs to that family, he will go to that family's village to compile a book. He will not bother to pursue them. What should be distributed to you will be distributed to you.
Relying on such means, and the fact that the Han Dynasty is currently doing practical things and actually pulling the people together, it is actually easy to expose things like people's hearts through words, and based on facts, everyone is not blind.
So in the past few years, hundreds of thousands of savages have come out from mountainous areas and forest farms to join local villages.
After all, it didn't take long, and the Han Dynasty had not experienced a great plague, and it had not reached the level of death. Most of these people could find relatives and friends, and if someone helped to act as a guarantee, they could just naturalize directly.
In addition, there is a shortage of people everywhere these days. An old man who comes out of the woods can speak Chinese and has two congenital toes. He can be naturalized directly. Even if no one is a sponsor, he can be naturalized. Therefore, many places have accepted him over the years.
There are fewer people like this.
But to say that this is all, it is absolutely a lie. According to the estimate of Li You, who compiled the household registration, there are at least 4 to 50 million people still in the forest and mountainous areas pretending to be dead.
As for how this population was estimated, it is very simple, because after the merger of villages and villages in the Han Dynasty, the people did live a good life. When Yuanfeng re-edited the household registration in the fifth year, the people were asked to report the merger of villages and villages in the previous years.
During this period, when there were no relatives left, these people stopped resisting at all and honestly confessed those who had run away.
Most people even hope that the government will send people to find those relatives. After all, people's hearts have a strong balance, and they all know whether they are living well or not. When they think that their relatives are still in the mountainous area, and their lives may not be as good as before,
The people these days are still very simple and hope that the government will send people and volunteer to help find them.
The problem is to be able to find them. If they are found, they can of course be brought back to join the village with the testimony of their relatives. But the problem is that most of them cannot be found, because those who can be found were already there when the household registration was re-edited in the fifth year of Yuanfeng.
It's in the village.
For most people after the merger of villages and villages, it takes at most half a year to realize the benefits of the merger of villages and villages. Everything that should be found and can be found has already been obtained.
The rest can't be found. They are unlucky children who have sneaked into the deep mountains and old forests. Chen Xi has no good solution for this. You must know that according to Li You's statistical caliber, at the end of Yuanfeng's fifth year,
There are at least four to five million people hiding in the Central Plains, and you can't find them.
For Zang Hong, these people are all non-citizens. If they can't be found, just pretend they don't exist. When it comes to snow disaster relief, Zang Hong's attitude towards these non-citizens may exist, and there are probably tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands, of non-citizens in Bingzhou.
That is, if you die, just die. You deserve to freeze to death.
As long as the true citizens do not die, it is none of his business whether these non-citizens die.
But this is not the case for Chen Xi. Chen Xi still has some ideas about these people. After all, there are a lot of them, and there has been no good way to deal with them. Now think about it, relying on Chen Xi's spiritual talent, everything has been going smoothly in the past few years. These
People who fled to the mountains could still survive, and even live quite well.
Naturally, there is no need for these people to go out, but this year is different. The snow in Bingzhou is eight feet thick. After the villages are merged into villages, the villages need to open up logistics between counties and counties to get through it more smoothly. Those who live in mountainous areas are on the run.
, I’m afraid it’s not the time to finish.
Forced by the heavy snowfall and the ferocious beasts looking for food after the snow, these people who live in the mountains and have great disadvantages in protecting themselves from the cold and warmth come out of the mountains in droves.
