Great Song Pirate

Chapter 299 Plague ([-]rd update today)
After clarifying the crux of the problem, many things will be easier to handle. After Xu Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, he patted the armrest of the chair heavily, and then stood up suddenly.

"Since this is the case, then no more refugees will be accepted here. We must transport these refugees away without land as soon as possible!" Xu Yi said decisively.

Everyone saw that he was thinking with his head down, and they didn't bother him, but now he suddenly said, first of all, Gao Xu, Yang Zaixing, and the northerners were anxious, Gao Xu hurriedly said: "What do you mean by this, my lord? Can you send these people back to land?" The other people also looked at Xu Yi with doubts and eagerness.

Only then did Xu Yi realize that there was something wrong with what he said just now. These people must have misunderstood his meaning, so he quickly explained: "No, no, you misunderstood, didn't I tell you? This Liuqiu Island University Very well, let alone 4 or 300 people, even if there are [-] million people, this island can accommodate them. I don’t mean to send them back to the land, but to move them to other places on Liuqiu Island. Go somewhere, since the terrain here is not suitable for farming, we can't just stick to this one place, we have to continue to expand to other places, and this thing needs to be done quickly, we need to find a new place to stay as soon as possible, build a stockade, and rearrange these Refugees do!"

After listening to his explanation, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, gasping for breath would be terrifying!

"Then what do you think about the current situation here?" Kong Qingxi asked anxiously, he was afraid that Xu Yi would give up this chicken coop village, and all his hard work for a year would be in vain.

"At present, the first thing to do here is to stabilize these people who have not yet been allocated land, let them have something to do first, and not let them idle, it will cause trouble if it takes a long time, let them eat and drink well, don't make trouble first, as for Those who have been allocated land will be left to them. We will no longer develop farming here. We must find an open and flat place as soon as possible, and then resettle these immigrants. Restoring order here as soon as possible is the top priority! Mr. Jia and Gao Xu are both experts in this matter, so you might as well stay and think about it. Brother Kong, you are familiar with the situation here, so please help them two. I will take Li Bo, Zaixing and others to sea as soon as possible. Along the coast, find a new suitable place to settle down, lay a foundation, and then transfer these immigrants! Do you think this is a good idea?" Xu Yi expressed his general thoughts.

Everyone stood up and agreed to Xu Yi's preliminary arrangement, and Gao Xu said: "This subordinate thinks what the lord said is good, and stabilizing the current situation here should be the top priority, but this subordinate also has an idea. It's not right to say it!"

Xu Yi nodded and said: "Gao Xu has not been here for a long time, and he may not know what I said before. We don't talk about it here. Whoever has a way can just say it. As long as it is reasonable and feasible, he will do it according to whose way. If you have something to say Just say it!"

Gao Xu nodded immediately, and said: "My lord just said to find some things for these people to do first. I think it is very reasonable, but I don't think we can just take all their things for nothing and let them just do it like this." If we continue to eat and drink for nothing, I’m afraid it won’t be long before we continue to raise a lot of lazy people who won’t think about working and just lie on us all day eating and drinking. This will violate our original intention of taking them in. Instead, let them rely on their own labor to obtain their food and drink expenses, not all of them relying on our offerings!"

Xu Yi nodded immediately after hearing this, and said excitedly: "That's right, that's good! Go on!"

Gao Xu straightened his mind and said, "There are already [-] people in the village. It would be a great loss to rest like this all day long. Isn't that where they want to live? I don't think it's a problem, we don't have to go To build houses for them, you only need to provide them with tools, designate a few locations, and let them log and build houses by themselves. Whoever works hard will live in the house first, and whoever is lazy and slippery will not even think about living in the house. We can save a lot of manpower and material resources, and relieve the congestion here! Does your lord think it’s okay to do this?”

After hearing what he said, Xu Yi was overjoyed: "That's right! You're right! Of course, the housing problem for so many people can't be solved in a short while if we only rely on ourselves. Your method is very good. , very good! I will do it according to the method you said!"

At this time, Jia Qian also stood up and said: "My lord, I also have an idea. My lord told me on the road that I intend to build a large shipyard here. Although the manpower has not been transferred yet, I think the materials needed There must be a lot of manpower, and brother Kong also said just now that the surrounding forests are dense, we might as well make some preparations in advance. After these people build their houses, it is not necessarily necessary to move them out, but to use them on the spot , Let them engage in some logging and road construction here, we will stop the free supply at that time, and it will be up to them to earn the food and other things they need for themselves or their families, so that we can quickly stockpile a lot Timber, when the shipyard or other places start to be built, there is no need to temporarily cut wood!"

Xu Yi nodded again and again. It seems that scholars have more methods than ordinary people. In this way, they have solved a big problem, not only reduced their own pressure, but also made full use of these idle manpower. It is indeed better than raising them for nothing now. There are too many, so I immediately agreed with his opinion, and after a while, I will implement his method immediately. I am really not rich enough to support a large number of idlers. Let them come here to take advantage of them Work hard for yourself, want to eat and drink well even if you don't work, it didn't work before, it doesn't work now, and it won't work in the future!Don't even think about it.

"Also, since we have allocated land to quite a few people, they can't stand idly by when it comes to building roads. They have to contribute. They will also use these roads in the future, and we can't give them for nothing. I don’t think this tax can be waived for the provision of land and farm tools for cultivation. The tax burden on land farming is extremely heavy. The peasants are miserable, they can hardly even eat enough for themselves in one year, let alone have any surplus to talk about! The head of the family didn’t think enough about this matter, they only said that the tax would be exempted for the first year, but they didn’t decide how to collect it in the future. I don’t think this is good! My subordinates think that it’s okay to be exempt from rent in the first year, but at least during the harvest, the agricultural tools, seeds and other things we advance to them should be returned to us at a discount, and in the second year they can be extracted according to ten taxes. In the third year, ten taxes and two can be drawn, so that these farmers don’t have too much pressure, and we can also obtain a stable income. In less than three years, we can be completely self-sufficient in food without using We will buy food from the land again!" Gao Xu followed Jia Qian's proposal and talked about these farmers, and directly expressed his dissatisfaction with Xu Yi.

Xu Yi then nodded, telling them to open up today and see if they can think of any good solutions.

At this time, Yang Zaixing also stood up and said: "I also want to say one thing. When the lord brought us back from Hebei, he intended to build a team capable of fighting on land. I don't think this matter can be let go. Among the refugees, there are quite a few northerners who are more aggressive and tough by nature, and many of them are single. I think the situation here is more complicated now, and I am willing to choose some of the northerners here with Brother Gao. Bastards, first form a village soldier, after training, first use it for public security everywhere, and also use it for labor, I wonder if my lord will agree!"

Xu Yi knew that Yang Zaixing and Gao Jun were obsessed with this matter. Although it was somewhat inappropriate to bring it up now, it did not save their face. After thinking for a while, he nodded and agreed, but the number of people required should not be too large for the time being. Wait until the immigration is settled within 500 people before considering expansion.

Yang Zaixing was already very satisfied with Xu Yi's answer. Although 500 people were not many, it was quite a lot here!Gao Jun was also happy, and waited with all his might to recruit people.

When everyone was discussing these things, a person suddenly broke in from outside. The guards didn't stop him, and let him break into the meeting hall directly. Xu Yi raised his eyes, stood up quickly, and walked a few steps in a hurry He clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Why did Miracle Doctor Yang come only now? We've been here for a while!"

Yang Hong hurriedly clasped his fists in return and said: "I was delayed by something just now, and after I finished dealing with it, I rushed over here in a hurry. The situation here is very bad now, you have to deal with it quickly!" Yang Hong said. With an anxious look on his face, he said to Xu Yi when they met.

"Oh? What made Miracle Doctor Yang so nervous?" Xu Yi put away his smiling face and asked.

"This!..." Yang Hong looked at Kong Qingxi and Chang Le, and hesitated for a moment, apparently because he felt that he was afraid of causing trouble to them after he said it.

Seeing Yang Hong's eyes, Kong Qingxi quickly got up and said, "God doctor Yang can speak directly, don't worry about my face, the most important thing is the matter!"

Yang Hongyi gritted his teeth and said: "The people here are too concentrated now, and the village can be said to be extremely filthy. Some people have already started to have symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea, and the climate here is hot and humid, and there are many mosquitoes. If this continues, I worry that it will not take a few days. , a plague may break out, and I have no idea how many people here will be able to escape!"

Xu Yi was taken aback by Yang Hong's words. When he came from the pier just now, he also felt that the environment here was really bad, but he was too busy talking about stability and forgot about this issue. Now that Yang Hong mentioned it, he The heart that had just been let go was immediately raised again. This is not a trivial matter. With the current level of medical treatment and sanitary conditions, once the plague is triggered, I am afraid that in such a densely populated place, a large number of infections will soon occur. By then I'm afraid it can't be controlled by manpower. He brought these people here, one is to use them to expand his power, and the other is to sympathize with them, and he doesn't want them to starve to death by the side of the road. Hurry up and ask Yang Hong to sit down and talk first.

"The words of Dr. Yang reminded us that we are not only trying to solve the problem of stability. I think the top priority is to consider this matter first. What Dr. Yang said is definitely not alarmist. When we came here just now, we also saw the situation here. Everywhere is crowded with people, and there is sewage flowing everywhere. If this continues, a plague will soon be triggered. Once the plague spreads, I am afraid that many people here will not be spared. At that time, all the efforts we have made before will be in vain. It's all in vain, and I, Xu Yi, will even become a sinner through the ages, so I think we should solve this problem first, and then consider other things! What do you think?" Xu Yi looked at everyone present with a serious expression. said the man.

Everyone also immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, so they all nodded in agreement with what Xu Yi said. They then put aside what they had just discussed and began to discuss how to deal with the current crisis.

For this kind of thing, Yang Hong is an expert, and Xu Yi based on his understanding of the cause of the plague and some knowledge of later generations, combined with some Yang Hong's opinions, and summarized when they first came here, they used Some methods, quickly came up with a disposal plan, and then began to arrange.

According to Xu Yi's decision, the first and most urgent problem to be solved is to evacuate the crowded people in the village as soon as possible, so that they can no longer huddle together in the village. Persuading them to leave the village as soon as possible is easy to say, but it is quite troublesome to implement. These people are already dissatisfied. There might be riots. After everyone thought about it, they decided that this kind of matter should be dealt with as softly as possible. In the end, Xu Yi decided to first find Wang Hong who took the lead in blocking his way today. Since this person can be recommended by these refugees If you come out to block the way to question him, you must have considerable prestige among the refugees, and you must ask for his cooperation.

Second, Xu Yi also proposed that those who are already infected must be isolated and taken care of alone, and they should not be allowed to stay in the crowd to prevent the epidemic from spreading. Xu Yi nodded and said that the source of infectious diseases must be controlled as soon as possible. Before crossing here, there was an outbreak of SARS in China. Xu Yi learned a lot of experience from the epidemic that shocked the whole country. He immediately instructed Yang Hong to take charge of this matter and invite these infected people out of the stockade as soon as possible. Find a clean place outside and isolate them for treatment alone. At the same time, you must pay attention to the crowd. Once you find a new patient, you must immediately send it to the isolation area.

Third, while evacuating the crowd, we must try our best to prevent it. This matter can only be handled by Yang Hong. He has a prescription, which can boil a large pot of herbal soup, so that everyone can drink it regularly every day, which can play a big role. Good preventative effect.

Fourth, it is necessary to carry out a comprehensive and effective disinfection work in the stockade. Kong Qingxi, Changle and others have experience in this matter, which is to clean up the sewage and garbage in the stockade, and then spread it with a large amount of quicklime. This is also because there is no disinfectant The best approach available in this era.

After Xu Yi arranged these things, everyone didn't have lunch, so they sent people to the village first, invited that Wang Hong over, and asked Wang Hong to find a few prominent figures who had prestige among the refugees or were familiar with their faces. Come together, Wang Hong didn't expect this young master to come to him so quickly, so he hurriedly called a few people who were usually quite prestigious and followed those who were looking for him to the meeting hall. Don't worry about them, for fear that these pirates will be bad for them, they spontaneously gathered outside the meeting hall to wait, which made the people here and Xu Yi's personal guards quite uneasy, so they cast a trail around the meeting hall. The cordon prevents these people from breaking into the meeting hall.

When Wang Hong and others entered the conference hall, they were taken aback by the scene in front of them. It turned out that Xu Yi and the others had eaten while waiting for him to arrive. What Wang Hong did not expect was that Xu Yi and his meals It's very simple, it's just a bowl of white rice and two simple side dishes, and they are discussing something while eating.

After hearing someone's notification, Xu Yi looked up and saw that Wang Hong and the others had arrived, so he put down his bowl and chopsticks and beckoned him to come in and sit down, and asked him without airs at all: "Wang Zhuangshi, have you had dinner yet?"

Wang Hong and the others saw Xu Yi's lack of pretentiousness, and they secretly liked him. The pirate leader didn't seem like a bad guy, at least he wasn't a showy person, so they cupped their hands and replied, "We've already eaten. You haven't eaten until now!"

Xu Yi asked him to sit down and said with a smile: "We are discussing your matters. We were a little late for dinner, and now I feel hungry. Sit down, we will talk while eating!"

Wang Hong and others nervously sat on the chairs aside to listen to Xu Yi's continuation. After picking up a few mouthfuls of rice, Xu Yi put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "I have roughly figured out the things you asked me today. I think Ask Wang Zhuangshi, how long have you been here?"

Wang Hong replied, "It's been about half a month!"

"Oh! That's good. Then I think you must have seen all the things outside the village. Do you already know the identities of those who arrived before you?" Xu Yi then asked him.

"I already know that most of them are refugees from the side of Fujian Road. After being taken in by you, the head of the family, they were sent here and received land. They settled down here!" Wang Hong replied honestly.

My son has been ill for two days, so I was delayed for some time. Today, I will try to guarantee a 1-word update for the third night. There will be a chapter each at noon and evening. If you have a monthly pass, please continue to support it!thanks!
