Great Song Pirate

Chapter 298 The Crux
There was no sound in the meeting hall. Xu Yi sat on the grand teacher's chair in the middle, his eyes spit fire, and looked at Kong Qingxi, Chang Le and others kneeling below. When Jiao Meng was about to kill him, he had never hated him so much, but today he was really angry. After entering the conference hall, he sat on the grand master's chair and just stared at Kong Qingxi and the others without saying a word.

Kong Qingxi, Chang Le and the others didn't speak, just bowed their heads and knelt on the ground, not even daring to take a breath. They also knew that they couldn't complete the task Xu Yi entrusted to them and made a mess here. They knew even more How much Xu Yi expected from here, although he felt wronged, he didn't dare to defend himself, waiting for Xu Yi to let go.

Jia Qian, Gao Xu and others who came with Xu Yi were all standing on both sides of the hall. To be honest, even they were shocked when they came here today. Compared with Dulong Island, it is a world of difference , are also two places under Xu Yi's rule, one is orderly and the other is chaotic. Anyone in such a situation will have a huge psychological gap, but they don't have the anger of Xu Yi, but they are all in their hearts. Think about why this happens.

Xu Yi tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, looking for various excuses in his heart for Kong Qingxi and others who were kneeling below, and gradually he began to calm down from the anger just now, there will be objective circumstances for everything to happen Now, after nearly three years of experience, he no longer has the impetuousness of the past, and has become more calm, so although he was furious just now, he has not erupted. Without a thorough understanding of the whole story At that time, he couldn't get angry without authorization, so as not to blame his brothers by mistake, which would make people feel cold. It can be said that Dulong Island can develop to the current situation, and it can be said that it all depends on the unity of the whole team to achieve this result. After thinking about this , Xu Yi suppressed his anger for the time being, and after taking a few deep breaths, he said to Kong Qingxi and the others: "You guys explain to me why this place has reached this point! It's your fault and I will punish you, not your fault." If so, I won’t blame you either!”

After hearing Xu Yi's words, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Yi's ability to control his emotions in this way shows that he is indeed superior now. The original oppressive atmosphere in the hall has also eased a little with Xu Yi's words. Some.

After hearing Xu Yi's words, Kong Qingxi replied with shame on his face: "I am really to blame for this situation. After you left last year, the head of the family, I and my brothers began to prepare for receiving immigrants, built a lot of houses, and After logging and burning wasteland outside the village, Wang Feng gradually began to transfer some refugees over from Fujian Road. It was okay at the beginning. After these refugees arrived here, we provided them with houses and designated each of them Twenty acres of wasteland, and supported them with some farm tools and other things, so that they can farm outside the stockade. Everything basically developed as the master expected. We also established a good relationship with the Posang tribe and supported a group of them Weapons, so that they no longer interfere with our logging and other things, and even came to trade with us on their own initiative. The development of the stockade can be said to be step-by-step, without any trouble, but as more and more refugees were transferred, we therefore It became a little hectic, especially after the year, when Wang Feng still had Brother Shuimao and they gradually increased the number of refugees and Japanese slaves who were transferred, some problems gradually began to appear here.

After we distributed the land that we set fire to and sorted out, more refugees came, and the land we could distribute became less and less, and the speed of land reclamation became slower and slower, and it was developing farther away from the village. Gradually affected by the terrain, there are fewer and fewer flat lands nearby, and the number of houses we built began to be unable to keep up with the number of refugees transferred over, so we slowed down the work of land reclamation and sent more people to cut trees and build houses. I wanted to prepare housing for the refugees who continued to come, but just over a month ago, after a large number of refugees from the north were shipped from Yangzhou, the place began to be chaotic. , don’t know how to grow rice and the like, and there is not much open space, so we will first give the vacant land to those refugees from the south to cultivate. These northerners live outside the stockade because of their different living habits from the southerners. Conflicts occurred from time to time, and people even gathered armed groups to fight for land. We continued to suppress them, but as more and more northerners came, we gradually became unable to suppress them. Considering to reduce their fights, we continued to suppress them. The northerners were left in the stockade, and as a result, there were more and more people here, so that it became what it is now.

In addition, the subordinates and others were not good at handling these matters, and slowly began to form some grudges with these refugees from the north. In addition, the food and cloth stored here in the early stage were gradually running short, so Wang Feng also thought of a lot of ways. , but there are still some that can't meet their consumption, we have to limit the supply of meals, so that their dissatisfaction is accumulating, and that's why we stop you today to file a complaint!These are all the faults of the subordinates, and I hope the boss will punish me alone! "

And Chang Le also hurriedly said on behalf of Kong Qingxi: "The subordinates did not help Brother Kong, and they have a heavy trust from the big master. In the current situation, Chang Le is also responsible. I hope the big master doesn't blame Brother Kong alone. If you punish him , I also have a share of Changle!"

After listening to Kong Qingxi's words, Xu Yi's anger has almost subsided. It can be said that even he himself did not expect this situation to happen, because during the Chinese New Year, he told Shui Maowangfeng and others, He wanted to get as many people here as possible, and he himself went to the Hebei area to ask the Li family to take in refugees for him. It can be said that it was all his wishful thinking. He didn't take into account whether Kong Qingxi could bear it here. He really ignored this issue. He just took everything for granted. After listening to Kong Qingxi's explanation, he realized that the resettlement of a large number of refugees is by no means a simple problem. This situation may not be as good as what Kong Qingxi and the others did in this situation. Where to go, after thinking of this, he quickly got up and came to Kong Qingxi and the others, helped Kong Qingxi up from the ground with both hands, and pulled up Chang Le who was kneeling beside him, and said with a face full of shame: "Hurry up!" Get up, I already understand the reason for this matter! Get up and talk, get up and talk!"

Jia Qian and the others who were standing on the side nodded secretly after listening to Kong Qingxi and the others. Anyway, Kong Qingxi and Chang Le did their best, and the two of them rushed to bear the responsibility first, so they were both men. So I no longer dared to underestimate the two of them, but felt admiration for them. Seeing that Xu Yi's anger had subsided and he got up to help them, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief for them.

After Xu Yi pulled them up, he suddenly thought that since he got off the boat, he was only talking and angry, and he hadn't introduced Jia Qian and others to Kong Qingxi and the others, so he quickly introduced them to let them know each other. Their identities, he was overjoyed immediately, and felt that the burden on his shoulders was relieved a lot. To be honest, through this period of time, he himself understood that he was definitely not the kind of person who was good at handling government affairs. Doing his old job, going to sea and sailing can give full play to his strengths.

After they exchanged greetings, Xu Yi asked everyone to sit down, stood in the hall, and said with a shame on his face: "I just blamed Brother Kong and you guys by mistake. I really can't blame you for this matter. I completely ignored the difficulty of this matter." , I just wanted to quickly increase the manpower here, but didn't take into account your ability to bear this place. I will bear this fault, and you have worked hard! Don't blame yourself like this anymore. Not only did you suffer, but you were wronged, I am here to make amends to you! Please forgive me a lot!" Xu Yi gave a deep salute to Kong Qingxi and the others.

Xu Yi's apology caused Kong Qingxi Changle and the others to panic. With tears in their eyes, they quickly stood up and saluted Xu Yi. I haven't had a good night's sleep, but not only did I not get things right, but it got worse and worse, so I had no choice but to send a letter of help to Xu Yi. I was ashamed and aggrieved, and now Xu Yi finally realized their difficulties , and apologized to them in person, at this moment, it seemed that everything was worth it.

For Xu Yi's apology, it also touched Jia Qian, Yang Zaixing, Gao Jun and others at the same time. They saw a bright spot in Xu Yi's human nature. Introspection, all the credit is my own, all the faults are the people below, such a person is not worth following, and Xu Yi is obviously not this kind of person now, if it is his fault, it is his fault, and he does not hide it Speak up, admit your mistakes, and never shirk them. If such people are not uncommon in the world, then once a person ascends to a high position, there are really very few people who have this kind of courage. Thinking about it secretly, the look of respect on his face became a bit more.

When Xu Yi and the others returned to their respective positions again, Xu Yi waved his hand and said: "Since something has gone wrong, let's stop discussing whose responsibility it is, and this responsibility can only be borne by me. What we need to consider now How to solve the current problems, I would like to ask, after this period of time, how many refugees have gathered in Jilong Village? Have you roughly calculated this number?"

Chang Le got up immediately and replied: "I have been counting this all the time. As of today, there have been more than 1 refugees from 7000 households here, not including the Japanese slaves captured by Shuimao and the others in the north. There are more than 3000 male and female Japanese slaves, not including the Japanese slaves that you sent over with the master today!"

Xu Yi was shocked when he heard this number. He didn't pay much attention to the situation here. He thought it would be good to have at most 2 people in Jilongzhai, but he didn't expect the actual number to be higher than I expected. It's actually twice as many, which is even more surprising that such a situation has occurred here. Even when Dulong Island had the largest number of people, there were only more than 1 people. It is much more convenient to manage than here. Xu Yi sweated a little , Weiwei said awkwardly: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to be so many! Do you know the proportion of refugees from the north and the south?"

Chang Le went on to say: "Clearly, during this period of time, Yangzhou has been transporting refugees from the north non-stop. Now the refugees in the south account for about [-]%, and the refugees in the north account for about [-]%! And with the transfer from Yangzhou , there will be more and more northerners.”

Xu Yi nodded. This Wang Feng really has not been idle this year. He has unknowingly brought in so many refugees. It seems that he has really put in a lot of effort in this regard. Then he asked: "You guys? It is said that the wasteland here is not enough to allocate, I really want to know the reason, there is not a large piece of wasteland outside, why do you say that the wasteland is not enough to allocate?"

This time, Kong Qingxi stood up and replied: "Maybe the boss doesn't know much about this. After coming here, he found that the climate here is very suitable for growing rice. There seems to be a lot of wasteland outside, but outside the chicken coop village there are mostly hills." Mountainous land, and the terrain here is undulating, and there is not much land that is really suitable for farming. We have already seen the distribution of land within a radius of tens of miles, and we have basically used the wasteland that can be opened up for farming. The reason is that the woods here are dense, and the woodland will not be cleared for a while, so the land will start to be desolate!"

Xu Yi suddenly remembered something. The terrain of Taiwan Island is originally a mountainous and hilly terrain. Although I have never been here before, I have mentioned this in my geography textbook. Taiwan’s mountains and hills account for one-third of the total area of ​​Taiwan Island. Two, and hiding in the northeast area, the overall situation is high in the east and low in the west. Most of Taiwan's plains are concentrated in the west facing the mainland, but I stupidly built a village here, and I haven't thought about it yet. , began to immigrate here in large numbers, and wanted to develop this area into their food base, isn't this a joke?When Xu Yi suddenly thought of this, he wanted to slap himself. At first, he blamed Kong Qingxi and the others. In fact, he was the one who should be slapped the most. This was because he had caused a big problem for Kong Qingxi and the others. No one would be better off. where to go!To put it bluntly, it was a mistake to choose Jilongzhai to build a village. At the beginning, they only valued the harbor here, and they didn't think so far at all. Xu Yi regretted it!
