Da Song: Possessed by Overlord at the beginning

Chapter 310 Work for Relief!

"My lord, for more than a month, the anti-snow and disaster relief work has stabilized. The people live and work in peace and contentment. Coal, grain and other supplies have been distributed in full. Not a single person died of freezing and starvation."

"Among them, 320 five businessmen who wanted to hoard goods and drive up prices, the aristocratic families ransacked their homes, and more than 500 officials who did not act were punished and dismissed."

"Now our town is under the rule of the Eastern Army, the officials are clear, the people are healthy, and the morale is strong."

Above the Golden Dragon Palace.

The right servant shot Li Shanchang almost excitedly reporting the whole process.

In the main hall, after hearing this, all the civil servants and generals had incredible expressions on their faces.

In such a terrifying blizzard, not a single commoner died of freezing and starvation.

My hero really did it.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Chao Tian with admiration and admiration.

Such a powerful lord who loves the people like a son is the blessing of their subject.

Now that the hearts of the people are in favor, the Zhendong army is powerful, but anyone with a good brain will guess that the person who will finally rule the world, in all likelihood, is his own lord, the little heavenly king Chao Tian.

As long as he works hard and solves Chao Tian's worries and problems, then he will be a minister of the dragon, and he will be appointed as a marquis and general, and his wife and son will be no problem at all.

Even the old gentleman Cheng Hao, who had always been indifferent, changed his expression a little when he heard the news.

Originally, he thought that Chao Tian was just talking to win people's hearts, but he didn't expect that Chao Tian really made it happen.

In this way, before Yang Shi, You Ye and the others impeached the military adviser Liu Bowen, now they are familiar with the villain's behavior.

Yang Shi and You Ye were both his students, and they acquiesced in their impeachment.

Thinking of this, the old man Cheng Hao's face felt a little hot.

It seems that I am old, my eyesight is not working well, and I stand in the wrong position at a critical moment.

No matter what the civil and military officials of the Golden Dragon Palace are thinking.

Chao Tian was overjoyed at this moment.

None of the people died of freezing and starvation, and the efforts of these two months were not in vain.

"Lord!"

Just when Chao Tian was overjoyed, Di Renjie stood up, with a trace of sadness revealed between his brows.

"Now the name of the Lord's benevolence and righteousness is spread all over the world, and all the people in the world pay homage to him."

"It's just that refugees from all over the world are flocking to our territory, as many as 5000 people every day. As a result, the temporary camps we have prepared are simply not enough."

"I also ask the lord to decide."

After Chao Tian finished listening, his brows were also furrowed. This question was unexpected and did not occur to him.

"The minister thinks that all the prefectures and counties should be ordered as soon as possible to close the city gates and guard against death. I am afraid that there are still a large number of spy spies among them. It's okay."

Guan Yuanwei stood up and suggested in a deep voice.

"No."

"If you reject the refugees like this, the reputation of benevolence and righteousness that the lord has built so hard will be in vain."

"I think that the refugees should be resettled quickly." Fang Xuanling objected.

"Master Fang, I also know that it is wrong to reject the refugees, but what about the large number of secret agents among them?"

"There are still so many displaced people, and resettlement will cost a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. With such a huge consumption, can we still hold on?"

Guan Yuanwei argued hard. As a minister of civil affairs, although he didn't know the current money and food reserves of the Zhendong Army, he still knew a rough idea.

This was exactly what Guan Yuanwei was worried about.

What Guan Yuanwei said made Fang Xuanling speechless. Insufficient money and food was indeed a big problem. Even though Fang Xuanling was full of strategies, he was helpless at this moment.

"My lord, it's okay for the Zhendong army to provide money and food for the civilian army in the territory. If it really accepts the refugees, it will really be a drop in the bucket, and it will not be enough."

Household Minister Shi Zhang Juzheng stood up and said so.

Household Minister Shi Zhang Juzheng is in charge of all the money and food consumption of the Zhendong Army.

Zhang Juzheng speaks with the most authority.

Even Minister of Household Affairs Shi said so, Fang Xuanling and others were even more powerless to refute.

After all, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Chao Tian smiled slightly, just now he had already thought of a countermeasure.

"Everyone is right. We must ensure that we have enough money and food, but we must not turn away those refugees who have defected to us."

"At the same time, we must guard against spies from other forces."

Chao Tian scanned the crowd with a confident smile on his face.

"So, just now I came up with a way to get the best of both worlds."

"That's work for relief!"

Relief for work?

Everyone heard Chao Tian say a new and unheard of term, you look at me, I look at you, frowning, all puzzled.

Seeing that everyone was frowning, Chao Tian explained with a smile.

"Relief with work means that these refugees, and even the people in the temporary camps in our territory, will serve as laborers, repairing bridges and roads, repairing city walls, building water conservancy, rebuilding village houses, and cooperating with the army to deliver supplies, etc.

"We only care about food. As for the wages, they will be used as their expenses in the temporary camp. In this way, we can save part of the food and supplement the various facilities in my territory."

"Of course, these are only temporary measures. The Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce must spare no effort to purchase food and grass."

"Jin Yiwei, also want to search out the spies of other forces among the refugees."

After hearing Chao Tian's explanation, everyone suddenly realized.

Then everyone was in admiration. The method the lord came up with was immediately effective. In this way, it not only solved the problem of resettlement of the refugees.

And only need to pay some food, you can solve the problems that require a lot of manpower, such as city walls, water conservancy, and bridges.

It is conceivable that as long as this winter is over, the Zhendong Army will usher in a huge leap. Chao Tian's method has been recognized by everyone.

More than three months have passed in a flash.

The frequent blizzards finally stopped in early March of the following year.

Although the spring is cold.

However, the river, which has gradually begun to show signs of thawing, and the vegetation are slightly green, giving everyone hope.

The blizzard has finally passed, and people in temporary camps in various places have returned to their villages.

Houses that collapsed in the blizzard have also been rebuilt long ago.

Most of the refugees from other places chose to stay, and the temporary camps prepared by the Zhendong Army before became towns one by one.

Qingtian Town!
Zhendong Town!
Little Heavenly King Town!

The names of towns and counties with traces of Chao Tian appeared one after another. This is also the name spontaneously initiated by the people to commemorate Chao Tian.

In a tavern in Yingtianfu.

The cold winter has passed, and the tavern is full again. Many of them are ordinary people, scholars, who come here to eat and drink.

"Let me tell you, our Great General Chao Tian is truly the best Ming ruler in the world, who loves the people like his own son, and is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness."

"Have you heard that tens of thousands of people in Huaixi, Northwest, Sanjin and other places died of freezing and starvation due to the snowstorm this time, and countless people died?"

"That is to say, under the rule of our Zhendong Army, none of the people died."

"That's right, our Zhendong army personally distributes cotton-padded clothes, quilts, food, and coal. From ancient times to the present, how can there be such a wise lord!"
