Under the persuasion of Old Lady Zhao, the always stubborn Zhao Deshan actually agreed to the decision to move temporarily.
"Alright, Deshan agrees." Old Lady Zhao smiled benevolently, looked at Chen Yunxuan, and then instructed him: "Son, you can tell everyone to pack up now. That large group of refugees may arrive at any time, so we need to move out quickly."
Looking at the kind face of Old Lady Zhao, Chen Yunxuan felt warm in his heart. He nodded solemnly and then took Lin Tongxi and the others to mobilize the villagers.
With the support of Village Chief Li and Old Lady Zhao, it became extremely easy for Chen Yunxuan and his team to mobilize people.
In addition, Chen Yunxuan and others have enough prestige in the village, and many people also obeyed them.
In addition, the villagers had seen the refugees eating voraciously, and some of them even had ferocious eyes, which scared some children to tears.
All in all, most villagers agreed with the plan.
What's more, Huxiaozhai is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is protected by the government and Chengtian Academy, so many people just want to pack up and run there.
After working for half a day, the villagers were ready and went in four groups. The relocation was expected to be completed in two days.
On the fourth day after the arrival of the refugees, the number of refugees in the village had reached about 150. Fortunately, no trouble had occurred.
Some refugees have been taken in by Qingshi Village and are helping to distribute food in the village.
If we exclude these refugees, there are about 100 people who are unstable factors. If we exclude the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, women and children, there are only 30 people.
There are about 70 young men in Qingshi Village, and they still have the ability to maintain order.
If these 100 refugees were all young men, it would be difficult to fight against them, especially when they had to worry about their own safety.
Early in the morning, the first group of villagers, about 100 people, were escorted to Huxiaozhai by officers and soldiers.
"Brother Tao, thank you for leading the brothers to protect the villagers. Take these and drink with the brothers." Lin Tongxi said as he stuffed a silver ingot into A Tao's hand.
A Tao accepted it without hesitation and patted his chest: "It's nothing. Brother Tongxi needs help, so I, A Tao, will definitely help."
"I'll take this money on behalf of my brothers. Let's drink together someday!"
"Brothers, let's go!"
After saying that, A Tao led the first group of villagers to leave Qingshi Village.
…
On the fifth day after the arrival of the refugees, the number of refugees reached 250.
Chen Yunxuan and Lin Tongxi inspected the granary and clearly felt that the food supply in the village was becoming difficult.
Fortunately, the second batch of villagers has already set off, and the food can last for some time.
"Brother Tongxi! There's an official named Awei outside looking for you!" Zhou Tiezhu shouted outside the granary, and Lin and Chen walked out.
Seeing that the injured Awei has recovered now, Lin Tongxi is very happy in his heart. After all, Awei saved him.
"Brother Wei! I didn't expect you to come too!" Lin Tongxi greeted him.
"Of course not! Originally, the boss wanted me to rest for a few more days, but when I heard that you guys were all busy dealing with the influx of refugees, I asked the boss to quickly approve my return to work. Good brothers must fight side by side!" Awei said with a smile, while showing off his biceps.
"Yes! Good brothers must fight side by side!" Lin Tongxi echoed.
After exchanging pleasantries with Lin Tongxi, A Wei turned the topic to Chen Yunxuan: "By the way, I heard that Brother Chenxuan became the village chief. Congratulations!"
Chen Yunxuan returned the greeting with a fist, then asked about the other party's purpose: "Thank you, Brother Wei. I wonder what brings you here?"
"The boss is worried that you don't have enough food, so he's allocated some to support you. The food truck should be arriving soon." A Wei explained his purpose and relayed Gan Xingfan's words to Lin Tongxi: "The boss said he's abided by the agreement. No matter what you say, you have to withstand the pressure and then go back to drink!"
"Okay! No problem! I'll have a few more drinks with you then!" Lin Tongxi raised his right hand. Seeing this, the other party also stretched out his right hand and they shook hands.
On the sixth day after the arrival of the refugees, their number reached 600, approaching the limit of the village.
Those who stayed in Qingshi Village were all young and strong men, who were mainly responsible for patrolling the village to avoid trouble.
There are already about 300 refugees who have been taken in, and the department is responsible for assisting them in their resettlement.
Under Chen Yunxuan's supervision, the refugees who were taken in were all pretty good people.
Some of them are very enthusiastic and proactive, even taking the initiative to help villagers with housework.
This made many villagers treat them as half villagers, calling them brothers and sisters.
The original villagers' houses were temporarily arranged for these brothers and sisters. They were empty anyway, and the rest of the villagers agreed.
As a result, three forces were formed in the village: the villagers of Qingshi Village, the refugees who were taken in, and the ordinary refugees.
Lin Tongxi felt that the number of refugees who had been taken in was almost enough, so he asked Chen Yunxuan to stop recruiting.
Once an organization has too many people, problems are bound to arise.
A number like 300 people is just right.
Next, we just need to get through the peak, and then the influx of refugees will be resolved safely.
However, the very next day after Lin Tongxi thought this, the scale of the refugee wave exceeded his imagination.
The consequences of other townships refusing to accept refugees and guiding them to Hegu Township finally appeared, and refugees from other directions all ran to Hegu Township for refuge.
Chen Yunxuan has already used the surrounding wasteland and asked people to build simple tents, but even so, it is impossible to accommodate more than 1,000 refugees.
Not to mention the problem of housing, even food is in short supply.
Ruihe Town had no time to take care of itself because it was busy settling the refugees, and Gan Xingfan only sent half of the food.
