Chapter 2073 Discussing the resettlement of refugees
But when the number of people reaches six or seven hundred, and it is hard to say whether it will increase, it is no longer suitable to just passively resettle them.
Shao Yunduan called together Jia Heming, Zheng Sangge, several clerks, Sun Baisun Qian and others to discuss the matter, and also called Qiao Xuan.
His wife is quite knowledgeable about this kind of thing.
If it had happened in the past, such a thing would have been inappropriate, but in this chaotic world today, what else could be inappropriate?
It just depends on whether each person is willing or not.
When discussing things, no one found Mrs. Shao's appearance strange at all.
As soon as Shao Yunduan explained the matter, everyone nodded and started talking about it.
"Your Excellency is right. This matter must be governed by a rule."
"Yes, in today's world - oh, our Anzezhou City is so remote and yet there are refugees pouring in! If more people come, if we don't properly accommodate them, I'm afraid something big will happen!"
"Fortunately, we have adults here, and everyone feels safe and secure!"
"Yes, yes, let's just listen to the adults!"
"That's what I said..."
Shao Yunduan smiled and said, "I called you all here so that we can come up with some ideas. If you have any good methods or suggestions, please share them. In a nutshell, we must resettle the victims, but we must not cause chaos in Anzezhou. Everyone, please share your ideas, no need to hesitate!"
After working together for several years, everyone has already understood Mr. Shao's style of doing things.
Lord Shao has always been a boss who listens to opinions. Since he has called everyone together to discuss the matter, everyone should just speak freely. The better and more outstanding your performance, the more likely you are to be valued by Lord Shao.
Look at this guy Jia Heming. He used to be silent, with a gloomy face all day long, ignoring everyone and acting lazy. But who would have thought that he would become so smart. He knew how to perform in front of Lord Shao and thus won his appreciation.
Look at him now, he is firmly serving as the governor and is very proud of himself!
After some discussion, everyone decided to settle the refugees to open up wasteland and let them use their labor in exchange for wages to support their families.
This is the general policy; the things below it are extremely complicated, and each one needs to be clearly sorted out so that when we actually start doing things, there won't be any omissions or various problems that may arise.
Jia Heming is good at these things, so this matter will be handed over to him. Song Shi, Liu Fu and others under Qiao Xuan are also experienced and can help.
The most important thing is that the government treasury is now full and can take out silver and grain.
If worst comes to worst, there's always Mrs. Shao to back you up.
But Jia Heming still made careful arrangements because he didn't know how many refugees would come in the future.
Even in these few days, the amount has increased a lot!
Jia Heming assigned a clerk to lead the registration of the refugees, registering them all according to their origins and families, including the elderly and children, without leaving anyone behind.
Afterwards, a piece of land was allocated to each unit of about a thousand people to accommodate them temporarily to open up wasteland or do other short-term work.
At least three to five such resettlement places should be found as backup for later use.
Qiao Xuan took charge of this matter and went out personally with Aye, Mianmian, Songshi and others.
Shao Yunduan originally disagreed, but he couldn't resist Qiao Xuan's insistence. He could never oppose anything she insisted on, and this time was no exception.
He could only sigh, nag at her for a long time, and then order Ah Ye to take good care of her before letting her go.
A new week has begun. Everyone should be well and protect themselves recently! Muah, love you all!
