Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 148 New Mission Settlement of Refugees
An old man came out of the refugees.

"My lord, we all escaped from neighboring provinces."

"The plague of locusts is raging, and there is no harvest. If you don't come out to find a way out, you will starve to death. I hope the adults will take us in for the sake of my pity!"

Qin Feng frowned: "How many cities and counties did you pass along the way? My Ninghai County is east of the East China Sea. How can you come to me? There are so many people?"

"This one……"

The refugees looked at each other in blank dismay, and pushed out a slightly younger man.

The young man held a notice in his hand and knelt in front of Qin Feng with his hands in his hands.

"My lord, we came to Ninghai County to join Mr. Qin under the order of the magistrate of Dengzhou Prefecture! This is a notice from the magistrate!"

Qin Feng winked at the yamen servant, and the yamen servant stepped forward to take the notice and handed it to Qin Feng.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, Qin Feng was almost pissed off after looking at it.

The magistrate is so fucking, he actually regarded his Ninghai County as a place to resettle refugees?

There are more than a dozen counties in Dengzhou, large and small, and this notice only mentions his Ninghai County.Is this going to gather all the refugees in Dengzhou here?

If this is the case, then these thousands of refugees are just taking the lead, and I am afraid that more refugees will come over in the future.

Although Ninghai County has a bumper harvest of grain this year, after the people have paid the grain tax and rent, they will not be able to raise much. It is twice as much as in previous years, and they can barely make a surplus.

It is okay to accept some refugees, but if it is endless, no one can stand it.

This magistrate is sincerely looking for trouble for him!
"I knew this old boy had no good intentions!" Qin Feng gritted his teeth and muttered.

But these refugees in front of them are all ragged and skinny, and they look really pitiful.

Sighing heavily, Qin Feng said: "No matter how hungry you are, you can't rob food by force! These are the hard work of my Ninghai county people. Not to mention beating people!"

"Come here, give me twenty slaps for those who beat people, and put them in jail!"

"Yes!"

Several yamen servants were in a hurry, arrested a few violent elements identified by the county residents, and beat them with a board in front of everyone. People dragged away.

This is to establish authority in front of these refugees.

It is necessary to let them know what to do and why not to do it, and let them feel fear, otherwise, if these thousands of people really make trouble, the dozens of yamen servants under Qin Feng's hands will not be enough.

This board really worked.

After watching those people being beaten, the refugees scattered the food they had looted one by one, knelt down and worshiped again and again.

"Master Qin, please be kind, we didn't hit anyone, we really have no other choice..."

"I beg Master Qin to forgive me. I heard that Ninghai County has money and food. I just hope that Master Qin can feed us and keep us alive. I promise not to cause trouble to Master Qin!"

"I beg Master Qingtian!"

"I beg Master Qin..."

The refugees cried out in unison.

Not to mention that Qin Feng now has a notice from the magistrate, even if the magistrate has no order, it is impossible for Qin Feng to turn a blind eye to the refugees here.

He pondered for a while, and ordered his subordinates to say: "Find some people, set up a straw shed at the gate of the city, and set up ten earthen stoves and pots. There is still some grain in the righteous warehouse, and open the warehouse to distribute porridge. Pay attention to maintaining order! These Refugees, I have to think carefully about how to resettle them!"

"Yes!"

The yamen servants responded, and Zhao Yi stood in front of the refugees, raised his arms and said, "Listen up, Mr. Qin is willing to open a warehouse to release grain, and give you a way to survive. If you want to survive, follow the arrangement of the adults, and let me go there Line up and walk to the gate of the city one by one!"

"Thank you sir!"

"Thank you, Master Qingtian!"

All the way here, almost half of the refugees starved to death on the way. For those of them who are still alive, it is not easy to have food and water. Who would dare to make a mistake now?

Soon, the refugees assembled into a team and slowly marched towards the gate of the city.

The yamen servants temporarily set up a few stoves and large iron pots at the gate of the city. Dozens of bags of grain were shipped out from the righteous warehouse, and the porridge shed was quickly set up.

The refugees stepped forward one by one to receive, one bowl per person.

Qin Feng looked at the door for a while, and told Zhao Yi: "Make thicker paste, give it once at noon and evening, and try to make them eat as much as possible."

"Yes, don't worry, my lord."

Qin Feng nodded, got on his horse and entered the city, and returned to the county office.

He had to figure out how to arrange these refugees.

If I had known about these refugees, I wouldn't have paid back the money I owed so quickly...

There is not enough food in the righteous warehouse, and the porridge can last for a day or two, which is unsustainable.

In the end how to do it?

People are the guarantee of productivity. In fact, there are more people, and Qin Feng is happy.With these refugees, perhaps the pace of reclamation of terraced fields can be faster.

All the hills around Ninghai County have been reclaimed, with an area of ​​at least 300 million mu. It is not a problem to house tens of thousands of refugees in such a large area.

The problem is that the early stage is more difficult.

There are only a few thousand refugees at the moment, and Qin Fengshang can send them all to the mountains to cultivate with the bandits.

But they can work, but Qin Feng has no food to feed them!
Ninghai County has a good harvest this year, but [-]% of the grain is in the hands of those gentry.

According to the relationship between Qin Feng and those squires, they will definitely not help...

While worrying, the system suddenly issued a task.

[System task: properly resettle refugees.The mission time limit is one year, and the mission goal: the death rate of refugees does not exceed 10%.Reward objective: to absorb all the refugees as citizens of Ninghai County.Mission success rewards: one special item, one adventure, 9999 reputation, 300 prestige, 50% increase in all attributes, 2 body strengthening pills, and a book of intermediate martial arts.Punishment for mission failure: the official rank will be lowered by two ranks, and the prestige and prestige will return to zero.The attribute value is deducted by 70%. 】

Qin Feng, who finished the task, was refreshed.

This reward is too generous, even more than the reward for exterminating bandits.

Attributes, props, and martial arts have all been improved.

The key is adventure!This fortuitous encounter represented a promotion!
Qin Feng recalled the two skills that the system mentioned before, the two skills he would have after his official rank was raised, invincibility and empathy, and he was so excited!
It's just that the punishment of this system is also horrific. If the placement is not successful, 70% of the prestige will be directly deducted from the attribute value, and the official prestige will be cleared. Doesn't this fucking mean asking him to start from scratch?

That doesn't work.

In any case, this mission can only succeed, not fail!
"I'm afraid I can't do it on my own. Fortunately, I have a good relationship with the Su family. I still need the help of the Su family in this matter."

Thinking of Su Jin, Qin Feng immediately got up and left the yamen, walking towards Su's house.
