Become a feudal king from today

"Your Highness, the porridge shed and the medical shed are ready. Read"

The north gate of Yancheng.

At this time, numerous Jinzhou people gathered on both sides of the city gate.

Attracting refugees to the fiefdom was a long-term strategy designated by King Yan.

So Liu Fu simply built 160 porridge sheds on both sides of the city gate.

Each porridge shed is responsible for more than 3,000 people and can provide food for more than 300,000 refugees at a time.

In addition to the porridge shed, there is also a medical shed together with the porridge shed.

This is a temporary medical officer, with a doctor in charge.

If people have emergencies, these doctors will deal with them.

Then there are the straw sheds built by the government.

These straw sheds are made of wood nailed into a rectangular shape and surrounded by straw.

Although it is simple and crude, it can be said that these hungry and cold Jinzhou people finally have a place to stay.

So after arriving outside Yancheng, the sadness on the faces of the people of Jinzhou gradually dissipated.

What replaced it was excitement.

There is food and shelter, and there is a doctor for those who are sick.

For many people whose lives are already miserable, such a life is simply a luxury.

"Instruct the officials to register their names, place of origin, and family members." Zhao Xu said as he came to the nearest porridge shed.

Picking up the chopsticks in front of the porridge shed, he inserted the chopsticks into the pot of rice porridge and stood upright.

When Liu Fu saw this, he smiled slightly.

Zhao Xu nodded, "The porridge must be so thick. If the chopsticks float, I will punish you!"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Zhao Xu looked serious, and Liu Fu responded.

Then he specifically asked the official in charge of soup kitchen to write down these words.

"Is that His Highness King Yan?"

When Zhao Xu was inspecting the porridge shed, a girl among the common people tilted her head and asked her mother.

Because there were too many people in Jinzhou, three thousand soldiers from the royal palace were sent to maintain order.

These soldiers stood in a human wall to block the people from the porridge shed and prevent them from rushing in to grab the porridge.

There was a royal soldier standing in front of the girl. When he saw the girl's mother, he shook his head and said he didn't know.

So he said, "That is His Highness King Yan."

"It's really His Highness King Yan!" Although many people had guesses in their hearts, they were not sure.

Now everyone is excited.

Many of them were able to reach Yancheng alive instead of being captured as slaves by the Xiliang people. This was all because the King of Yan sent cavalry to rescue them.

They had seen the bloody battle between King Yan's cavalry and Xiliang's cavalry.

When I think back to this day, Ren Jiu is full of gratitude.

Immediately, some Jinzhou people suddenly knelt down and shouted: "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my life.", "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my life."

The sounds came and went, weak and noisy at first, and eventually turned into a roaring tsunami.

Zhao Xu turned to the people at this time. He was actually a little ashamed.

If it weren't for his lack of ability, he would have sent troops to Jinzhou right now.

The people of Jinzhou will not continue to suffer from the poison of Xiliang for three months.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

At this moment of forbearance, he just wanted to solve the problem of Xiliang and Yanzhou once and for all.

This time when he enters Jin, he must seize all the gates in Xiliang's hands and drive Xiliang completely out of Jinzhou.

"Everyone, please get up! Please get up!" Zhao Xu walked towards the people of Jinzhou.

When he was only two meters away from the common people, Xu Lie stopped Zhao Xu.

The crowd is mixed, and he must protect the safety of King Yan.

To him, King Yan was the cornerstone of the four counties.

Nothing can go wrong.

Otherwise, everything in the four counties will collapse and the four counties will fall into darkness again.

Zhao Xu took it for granted and did not blame Xu Lie.

He said to the people of Jinzhou: "The Xiliang soldiers in Jinzhou are currently rampant, and I am still trying to find a way to rescue them back to Yanzhou. Since you arrived first, you can live here with peace of mind."

"Later, cooperate with the government office to register and make a list. If you have skills, you can disclose them to the officials. For example, if you were a carpenter or potter before, the government office will give priority to placement, and you will also receive at least one tael of silver every month. No money will be given to anyone who lives there," Zhao Xu said loudly.

He was almost promoting it himself.

"Of course, this is all voluntary. The government will not force you. As for the unskilled people, don't worry. If you are willing to stay in Yanzhou, the four northern counties of Yanzhou will allocate land to you."

"If you don't want to stay, the government will pay you a sum of money." Zhao Xu said.

Liu Fu and the government officials nodded while listening.

For them, this is a piece of cake.

There is no such good thing in Dasong as a whole.

If it were the original Yuan family, they would be lucky if they didn't take away the few things these people had.

"Is there such a good thing?" a young man asked.

He knew how to be a carpenter, but even in Jinzhou, he could not earn more than one tael of silver a month, not to mention that he had to eat for free.

"This is what King Yan said himself. It can be false. This time it is really a blessing in disguise!"

"I have long heard that King Yan is kind, and now that I have seen it, it is really like this."

"It is said that the four northern counties only receive 10% of the agricultural tax, and they don't have to pay for cloth or silk. The women in these four counties will be very comfortable." A woman looked longingly.

"This time, Yanzhou is really in the right place. He won't even ask me to leave."

"..."

Zhao Xu's words caused many people to whisper.

However, Zhao Xu saw the yearning for a new life on most of their faces.

Seeing that the people were caught up in the excitement of discussion, Zhao Xu waved to the people and went inside with Liu Fu to continue the discussion.

"What I said should be posted at the city gate, and soldiers should be sent to patrol and announce it to the people." Zhao Xu said.

Liu Fu secretly took note.

"There is also a need to register craftsmen immediately. Now the Ship Department, the Arms Department and various workshops need to be expanded, and they are all short of people." Zhao Xu said again.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to expand production capacity, he wants to standardize the handicraft industry in the four counties.

Not only the palace, but also the people.

All workshops must report to the government office and get permission before they can open.

On the one hand, this is for supervision, and on the other hand, it is a matter of commercial tax.

Including the workshops under the palace will also pay taxes to the palace in the future.

These taxes will be used by the government office to pay salaries to officials and build infrastructure in the four counties.

Although this is just a transfer from the left hand to the right hand.

But the meaning is different. This represents the birth of a system that everyone must abide by.

"Yes, Your Highness." Liu Fu responded.

He explained the matter.

Zhao Xu returned to the city. He called Wang Ying and the managers of the workshops in the palace.

First, he asked Wang Ying to prepare for the relocation of the South District of Chengdefang, and at the same time asked him to estimate how many craftsmen were missing.

As for the North District, it was only a month later than the South Workshop.

He also asked the workshop managers to estimate the lack of manpower so that they could make unified arrangements.

At the same time, he sent someone to Pingcheng to find Chen Shou.

Although all the ships of the Shipbuilding Department were destroyed this time, the craftsmen did not lose much.

However, this greatly affected the progress of shipbuilding.

Therefore, he planned to give more manpower to the Shipbuilding Department so that Chen Shou could make warships as many as possible.

After all, the demographic dividend this time could not be wasted.
