"Yes! But this matter is complicated and tedious; I don't know who should be assigned to oversee it?"

Cao Song couldn't help but ask, as he simply didn't have the energy to handle this matter anymore.

Liu Hong thought for a moment and then said, "You can go and discuss with the Grand Tutor and the others, and then draft a plan. As for who will be in charge, Zhang Zhen can be in charge, and Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Zhou Yi, and Zhang Zhao can assist him."

"promise!"

After discussing the matter, Cao Song and the others took their leave.

Three days later at the court assembly, Cao Song presented the memorial to the emperor. After reading it, Liu Hong publicly announced his agreement with the request of the Grand Minister of Agriculture.

Although many court officials harbored reservations, none dared to voice their opposition after seeing that the three highest officials, led by Chen Fan, along with Dou Wu and Yuan Feng, had all agreed.

After the court session ended, the Imperial Secretariat issued one imperial edict after another, which were sent to various prefectures and counties.

Officials in various regions, who had just finished distributing and resettling cattle and sheep, began to get busy again, sending people to gather refugees and conduct statistical screening.

Officials from Guanzhong and Guanxi also sent people or went to the Central Plains and Hebei regions to take over.

All the officials sighed, as if they hadn't had a single day of peace since the emperor ascended the throne, constantly busy with this and that. Their lives as officials had indeed become much more fulfilling!

Tian Feng, Ju Shou, and others also began packing their bags to prepare to go to Xuzhou, Jizhou, and other places to take charge of the overall resettlement of displaced people.

Zhuge Gui, who was appointed magistrate of Linyi County in Langya, personally led a team to begin the work of gathering refugees after receiving the imperial edict.

Not long ago, Zhuge Gui had heard about Yang Biao's promotion to governor of Liaoxi. Yang Biao's promotion seemed to have spurred him on. He felt that since he could outperform Yang Biao in the assessment, he would naturally not lag too far behind in governing.

Since arriving in Linyi to take up his post as county magistrate, Zhuge Gui has devoted himself wholeheartedly to developing people's livelihood. Although he has achieved considerable results in the past six months, this place is not comparable to the border areas. His achievements are indeed far inferior to those of Yang Biao. Even Xun You, who was sent to Liangzhou, has done a better job than him.

This was something Zhuge Gui found hard to accept!

Therefore, this time the imperial court issued an edict to relocate displaced people, which attracted his special attention. When the emperor sent those poor scholars to serve as officials in the Guanzhong and Guanxi regions, he had vaguely guessed the emperor's intention.

Now that the imperial court has officially issued the edict, his suspicions have been confirmed. Therefore, Zhuge Gui is prepared to personally take charge this time, determined to make the relocation of the refugees a perfect and successful undertaking, so as to prove his abilities to the emperor.

Therefore, Zhuge Gui began to travel around Linyi every day, pacifying and persuading the refugees he had gathered.
