Rebirth King of Pit Climbing

A few days later, at noon, the first group of thousands of victims with their families came to Liyang by some officers and soldiers. Their home had been destroyed by floods and were penniless. Many people even had no clothes to cover their bodies.

The cold wind and rain were shivering. What was even colder was their mood. The dam was repaired. Before the tide receded, they were homeless and could only be driven away by the government. Under the surveillance of the officers and soldiers, they were transported to all directions. Along the way, they were all over the place.

The rude treatment of the officers and soldiers has not given food to them until now, which makes them hungry and full of desolation. They are full of fear and resentment for the life of refugees that is about to begin...

"Why don't the people in the city leave, let us countrymen leave our hometown!" There were such complaints along the way.

"There is not enough food, and I don't want us country bumpkins to fill the city." An old man sneered: "Of course I sent us to various counties, but now I'm still sent across states. If you tell me, you might let others go.

It’s a joke about our Zhejiang.”

"Is the county willing to accept it? It's not them who are affected." The victims said worriedly: "If other places in Zhejiang could be said to be from the villagers, but now, alas..."

"We are just some annoying burdens." The old man said angrily: "How can there be an official who likes disaster victims?"

"So we will definitely not be welcomed." The victims' mood became increasingly depressed.

"It's good to eat with porridge." The old man said quietly: "I'm afraid that there are few grains of rice, so I have to starve to death..."

"What are you sorrowing!" The officers and soldiers held the whip and shouted loudly: "Liyang is here, hurry up and cheer up!"

The victims couldn't help but look into the distance. They saw a cloth strip hanging on the small city wall of Liyang, with sixteen large red characters written on it. There were many people who knew how to read in Zhejiang. Many people's eyes lit up and they read it loudly.

He said: "People are hungry and themselves are hungry, and others are cold and they are cold. Sharing together with weal and woe, and providing disaster relief to neighbors!"

The so-called "a good word warms up in three winters" means this. Even if you act like a good person, it will make the victims feel much more comfortable. When everyone arrived at the city of Liyang, they saw that there were already many people gathered at the city gate, and the leader was

He is a young man wearing a seventh-rank official uniform, so young that he is a bit unreasonable. He thinks he is undoubtedly the magistrate of Liyang.

Without waiting for the yamen runners to recommend them, the people who came came knelt down and kowtowed to the magistrate.

"Everyone please get up quickly." Yang Ling hurriedly supported an old man and said, "I have killed my county!"

"Please be pitiful to you, Master!" The white-haired old man insisted on kowtowing him and said, "Give us a way to live!"

"Please be pitiful to the master, give me a way out..." The victims agreed, kowtowing hard regardless of gender, age and age.

Yang Ling's eyes were wet. These were all life that struggled to survive. When he saw the victims begging so humbly, just for a way to survive, he was deeply shocked. When he watched Director Feng's "Review of the Anthology 1942" back then, Yang Ling

A few tears also shed, but that was a movie after all. No matter how well it was filmed, it was not as shocking as this reality. Feeling a heavy responsibility on my shoulders, Yang Ling personally helped up the villagers and elders. "Get up quickly, and

Listen to my words." Yang Ling suddenly climbed up to a table, pointed to the sixteen words on the wall behind him and shouted loudly: "Did you see those words?"

The victims nodded.

"Do you know what it means?"

The victims nodded again.

"People are hungry, they are hungry, and they are cold, and they are cold, and they share weal and woe. Relief in disasters and neighbors!" Yang Ling said loudly: "This is the promise Liyang County has given you!"

Listening to the promise of the magistrate, the cold and desolate hearts of the victims suddenly became warm, and they were all "blue sky" and "bodhisattvas" kept shouting.

Yang Ling waved his hand, and the victims calmed down and listened to him, "Please remember that you came to Liyang not to escape, but to live. The moment you stepped onto Liyang County with your feet, your identity will not be

Then there are the victims, but like the people in Liyang, they have houses, food, and protection from the government!"

After a pause, Yang Ling continued to say loudly: "For this reason, the 100,000 people in this county have vacancies more than 7,000 houses for you. After registering later, they can each receive their own food rations and follow your landlord.

Go back and rest!"

The victims thought that it would be good to have a shack and have a mouthful of porridge when they came. Unexpectedly, they would have a house and a meal. They were all moved to tears, but some of them asked in a mature manner: "The food rations were finished in those three days.

what to do?"

"Generally speaking, it should be relief loans," said Yang Ling: "But you have to go back to your hometown at a short time of three or two months, and you have to go back to your hometown for half a year, so ordinary relief loans are not feasible. So you use labor-for-relief."

"Work-for-relief?" The victims looked at each other and asked, "We still have to work?"

"Are you not shed your own sweat and eat your own food when you are in the village?" Yang Ling said lightly.

There are no rich people among the victims, and those with a little financial resources are guarding their small treasury and small granary at home. How could they come out to escape? This is a escape, not a travel, so these victims are naturally speechless.

"If this county does not treat you as a disaster victim, you will naturally have to be like the people of Liyang. Both food, clothing, housing and transportation need to be exchanged for labor." Yang Ling said in a deep voice: "With taxes before, you can support your family? Now the court has reduced the exemption.

Your money, food and service are naturally even more difficult!"

When people are under the eaves, how can you not bow your head? What's more, Yang Ling's words are justified. Why do you rely on labor to make a living when you are in your hometown, but you want to sit down with your hands when you come to Liyang? Are you running away or on vacation?

Under the organization of the official officers, the victims came to the city gate in an orderly manner. The city gate had long been fenced, and only ten companies were released at a time, and ten companies must protect each other.

This is unimaginable in later generations, and it will be messed up immediately. However, the people of Chengchao were originally from ten households and one family, so there is no need for temporary matching.

Ten victims who were left behind the gate registered in front of a row of tables. Behind the table were the clerks of the households, who recorded the origin of each household, Li Jia, household, etc., the name and age of each household.

, population, health status... and finally, they must sign a mutual guarantee letter.

After signing this document, if anyone commits a crime, ten families will be punished. Although Yang Ling has a more legal spirit, he uses heavy sanctions in troubled times. He has to do this at this time. If he doesn't, Yang Ling will not be assured to let 30,000 foreign lands.

People flocked into the county.

After registering and signing, the victims were taken outside the next gate. Behind them, ten other households of victims began to register. After entering the second gate, a book office asked the victims what level of house they wanted to live in.

.

The victims were stunned. What level do they have?

"Three levels, the highest-level and unique courtyard, one monthly fee; two medium-level and one hospital, one monthly. Eighty cents a month; four inferior and one hospital, one hospital, fifty cents a month." The Literature Office explained patiently.

"What, accommodation costs money?" the victims said with wide eyes.

"When will you need money to stay?" The Book Office's eyes widened: "The house you live in is empty, but the people of Liyang do their best to empty it. How can they live in for nothing!"

"Cough cough!" A young man wearing a blue shirt and wearing a scarf coughed twice and said, "If you don't have money, you can live..." But before the victims got happy, he heard him say, "Remember the account first."

, you can pay rent in the future by work."

"Ha!" the victims said unhappily: "Why do you need money for everything? I have never heard of it. Is it still charged money to resettle the victims?"

Faced with such a situation, I did enough ideological work to my subordinates, and the books and offices still explained with a smile: "Other counties have built shacks, and our county has also built shacks by the river.

You don’t want to live in a house. You can go to a shack, but you don’t have any money.”

Although I was reluctant, I had reached this point. Moreover, the rent was really cheap and I could still owe it first. All ten families chose to spend money to rent a house. So the clerk issued a bamboo sign to each family, with the name of the head of the household on the front. The back was the name of the owner of the household on the back.

It is the information of the house I rented, and ordered: "You are divided into thirteen miles of Chating Township. After leaving this gate, the inner leader is outside. You hold a license to meet him. The next thing will be arranged by him. You are in Liyang County.

He is also responsible for this period of time."

In addition to arranging the rooms, these village chiefs are also responsible for the care of the victims, restraining the troublemakers in the village, strictly prohibiting harassing the victims and extorting money. Yang Ling naturally grasped both hands and was both hard. On the one hand, if these village chiefs violated them,

He was sent to prison for "destroying disaster relief" and even if he did not die, he would have to lose his skin. On the other hand, he told these people that as long as the disaster relief work is done well this time, the taxes for the coming year can be reduced a little.

Why are the county magistrates the most reluctant to accept disaster victims? Because these foreign households will compete with the indigenous people for food. Even if the government does not need to release food, they will still raise local food prices and squeeze out the indigenous people's livelihoods. Therefore, all counties regard disaster victims as burdens.

It is natural to resist as a burden. However, Yang Ling doesn't think so. He knows that people are the most precious resource. The victims have just lost their homes but have not lost their labor. If the flood had not turned these people into victims, Liyang County

How can you get so much cheap labor?

Of course, Yang Ling knew that if a local economy wants to take off, the engine would be a big construction. Yang Ling did this and that as soon as he arrived in Liyang, but there were still too few people who could mobilize. If these labor forces were mobilized, how could they still be burdened? And

As long as the arrangement is properly, it will not squeeze out the livelihoods of the people of Liyang, but will greatly promote the development of Liyang.

There are two ways to divert these people in Yangling. One is that the road construction project in the Su family does require a lot of manpower, and the other is to recruit these people to build terraces. You must know that Liyang is a hilly area, although it looks quite like a plain.

There are still quite a lot of hills. People want to build terraces, but no one has the ability to do this, but now it is different, so many laborers are placed.

Yang Ling was very happy that he had such a genius idea. As usual, these tasks must be reported to Fucheng. However, the situation he gave back from Fucheng was not optimistic. Jiangning Mansion and even Jiangnan Provincial Administration Office were all concerned about Yang Ling.

It is a bit dissatisfied with the matter of changing the disaster relief measures without authorization. However, firstly, time is tight, and it is impossible to change the course, so we can only let Yang Ling do it first. Secondly, it is because Yang Ling's relationship is too tough, and these people are also

Don't dare to offend too much.

No matter what, the new disaster relief plan can finally be implemented, but Yang Ling also became a timid. Yang Ling naturally knew what Shangguan thought, but Yang Ling didn't say anything, just did his own thing well.

, let these people know that their methods are the most advanced in this era.

In order to make a good start, Yang Ling personally led people to show sincerity to the victims, announced the policies, and told them a few times without any discounts. The clerks meticulously registered the victims outside the city gate and allocated their residences. No white or black

After three days of busyness, I finally received 30,000 victims.

But 30,000 victims could not fit the whole picture. More than 27,000 of them successfully completed the registration and received rations and distributed them to their residences. Nearly 3,000 remained—mainly due to the elderly and elderly who lost their loved ones during the flood, and these people were unable to work.

No one is willing to accept it, so they must be treated separately, otherwise there will be only a dead end.

At this time, we must count on the four major official charities in the county for birth, old age, sickness and death. As disciples of saints, rulers still have more welfare institutions in order to perfectly practice the saint's governing philosophy.

Orphans and orphans were adopted by the Sales Department, and orphans and elderly people were adopted by the Health Care House. Those who need treatment for injuries will be admitted to Anjifang. Now Yangling has been converted into a public hospital. If it really cannot be cured, the Luze Garden will be responsible for

Burial...

These four charitable institutions are run by the government and are appointed as the person in charge. The county allocates funds every year, and the township officials and gentry will also donate them to good fields to maintain this kind of care for the elderly, care for the elderly, and to raise the children and die.

The system of burial operation. After Yang Ling took office, he regarded these four institutions as the embodiment of "benevolent government" and provided sufficient funds. He also respected the person in charge. Therefore, although these four people have no official positions,

But they all felt it was very interesting and naturally tried every means to please Yang Ling, the God of Wealth. But at this moment, except for the one in charge of the Luoze Garden, the other three looked like they had eaten Coptis chinensis.

"Master, you can't do this... There were less than thirty orphans in the Sales Bureau. This time I was given 600, which was twenty times more. It would be better to kill me with a knife!"

"Yes, Master. Even the Yangshangyuan in Jiangning Mansion and Hangzhou Mansion cannot raise 700 old men and women!"

"More than a thousand injured people, where can we find so many doctors to treat them?"

These three were buzzing in Yangling's ears like flies. Yangling has been overdrawn in the past few days, and he was even more annoyed when he heard this. He had to say to the two persons in charge of the Sales Department and the Health Care Institute:

"There are really tense people now. Why would you let the people in the stewardship house go to the Sales Department to take care of the children, and then hire a group of women from the victims to take care of the elderly? Is this okay?"

"The master has a way!" the two praised, and changed the subject: "How can these people provide food and clothing?"

"The county has solved some of it," Yang Ling felt a headache and rubbed his temples: "But the grain in the official warehouse is prepared for the people of Liyang and the victims of disaster. You still have to use your specialty - to raise funds."

"Raising for donations?" The two of them immediately said pitifully: "You want to come to ask for help again?"

"This is a good deed. The donated ones are meritorious. Those town officials are great charitable people and will donate generously." Yang Ling comforted her and said, "Anyway, the county only gives you half of the rations, but

Don’t let those young and old go hungry. I will check it at any time. If someone is not full, both of them are smart people. I should understand some things without me telling you?"

"Oh..." The two of them responded dejectedly.

Yang Ling turned to the hospital director and said, "The doctor's gap is indeed very big now. In this way, you gather the bull noses and bald donkeys in the county. These people pretend to be crazy all day long and do not have any medical skills.

, How to walk around the world?”

After sending away a miscellaneous official, Yang Ling took the teapot handed over by Master Zhuge, raised his neck and drank, "Have the books been sorted out?"

"Yes!" Zhuge Master nodded and said, "In the end, there were more than a thousand households who chose to live in a shack by Seshui."

"Live with them." Yang Ling rubbed his temples and said, "You say to the people below. First, it is harder to do this time, and second, don't stretch out your hands randomly. This is disaster relief, don't commit sins. Rest assured, I am

I won't treat them badly."

"It's enough for Dongweng to have this sentence. My subordinates will not let you down." After Zhuge said that, he put away his smile and lowered his voice: "It's just that my subordinates have to remind him that the days of spending money are like flowing water have begun.

Now, five hundred stones of grain are needed in the official warehouse a day. Even if Dongwen had enough grain to reserve in the early stage, he could not withstand such consumption. Fortunately, the people in this county have surplus grain at home, so they should not borrow money from Yongfeng Warehouse, but Dongwen must

Be careful, just in case!"

"I don't know, but the rules set can no longer be detailed. Only when food and clothing are enough can we keep order. If we don't have enough food, we will not be able to obey the rules." Yang Ling sighed: "I have ordered the whole county to be ordered.

The victims planted melons and vegetables in their own yards in the fields. They asked women and children to dig bamboo shoots, wild vegetables, fish, shrimps, and crabs in the water. They could eat everything they could eat so that they could eat less food.

”

"That's a drop in the bucket!" Master Zhuge sighed: "We need more food!"

"Fortunately, the Su family found that overseas food was very abundant and had already purchased it. I think the first batch of food was about to arrive. Finally, it could be relieved." Yang Ling comforted himself.

In the following days, Yang Ling closely monitored the operation conditions in all aspects. The victims basically settled down and began to reclaim terraces under the organization of the county government, or diverted them to the Su family's engineering team or cement factory to work.

The people of Liyang County were also asked to start spring plowing as early as possible and try to open some barren fields. The grain in Liyang grain shops was controlled by the county, with unified prices and fixed sales. The county government also paid money to encourage the people to go fishing in the river and hunting in the mountains.

, Because of the full preparation, at least at the current stage, everything is still in progress and looks orderly. This gives Yang Ling a little comfort. (To be continued...)
