Chapter 675

The barracks could not accommodate ordinary people, and Yuzhou City could not accommodate so many people. Finally, these people were escorted to Qinglong mountain.

During the natural disaster, Qinglong mountain was used as a resettlement area for refugees and covered with caves of various sizes. Later, most of the refugees moved to the city to settle down, and Qinglong mountain was also vacant.

In the past few years, situ Xiao had built a large official stockade in Qinglong mountain. There were basic necessities in the caves around the water source. The Kang and stove were ready-made.

At that time, Qinglong mountain was able to accommodate hundreds of thousands of disaster victims. Naturally, the more than 80000 people are no exception. Even if these people settle down here in the future, there will be no problem.

If the living space is solved, there will be food and firewood left.

There are forests all over the mountains. The most important thing is the dry wood. It's really hard to cut down a few trees to cope with it. There was a reserve of firewood in Qinglong mountain, which could be distributed to those families without labor force.

The most urgent thing is food.

After arriving at Qinglong mountain, there was no surplus grain in the hands of more than 80000 people. Even if Yuzhou City opened a warehouse to release grain for relief, it could only cope for a while. There were too many people to support the long winter consumption.

But in the cold winter, all parts of the country were basically closed, and it was not easy to transport grain in the past.

Li Changting escorts the people to Qinglong mountain, and he also lives in Qinglong mountain for the time being.

"How was the journey?" As soon as Li Changting entered the space, Xu Qing asked.

"Well, situ Xiao is busy rectifying the border town now, and he doesn't care about us. Fortunately, the weather is good all the way, and everyone hasn't suffered any crime." Li Changting said, "all the victims have been resettled, waiting for the distribution of food."

Xu Qing: "situ Xiao is really crazy. He doesn't want people to take food with him. He doesn't even give money. It's all the people's own things. What's the difference between situ Xiao and robbers? I don't think he can really accept those foreign victims. It's not much to take advantage of them."

Li Changting is not so indignant as Xu Qing: "if things are gone, they will be gone, and people will be OK. What we were most worried about before was that situ Xiao would take advantage of the people in the border town to deal with us. This time, situ Xiao gave us our weaknesses. I thank him for not having time."

Xu Qing also thought: "situ xiaochengtian does this thankless work, and he doesn't know what he wants."

Li Changting: "there is not enough food in the city. He must give up something. In comparison with taking the people in the border town as hostages and using the victims of other countries to deal with us, situ Xiao probably thinks that the second one is more likely to win."

Taking hostages is just for ransom. Situ Xiao can only get some food and money at most, and he is not short of it.

Once he takes innocent people as hostages, his reputation will be gone.

Situ Xiao was originally a rebel. No matter how noble he was, he always had a bad reputation. If he did something harmful, how could he convince people in the future?

And the use of victims, can increase their own strength, perhaps a winter later, situ Xiao's forces changed from one to two.

Xu Qing: "in order to accept the alien people, situ Xiao drove away his own people. How can I say that?"

Li Changting: "maybe in other people's eyes, situ Xiao didn't kill the people in the city who had different intentions towards him. He just drove them away, and didn't kill them all. It can only be attributed to his wrong position. To put it bluntly, as long as he doesn't kill innocent people indiscriminately, he will be able to clean himself up in the future. In addition, the foreign people he saved are very grateful to him. When the weather gets warmer next year, we are afraid that there will be a tough battle to fight. "

Duanmu Xiang also said: "for us, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. In the future, we don't have to worry about the head and tail when dealing with situ Xiao. Moreover, if situ Xiao takes the people in the border town as hostages, we have to send out a lot of ransom to save people. It's no different from raising food for the people in the border town now. The people in the latter can suffer less crime."

Xu Qing nodded, feeling reasonable.

In fact, situ Xiao could hold the people in the border town in exchange for food and money. The reason why he didn't do so was that he took his reputation into consideration and didn't want to give the whole world the impression that he was a tyrant.

This is not a war between the two countries. If they belong to two different countries, it is normal to exchange hostages for ransom.

Situ Xiao is a rebel. If he succeeds in the future, the people of Da Hao are also his own people, and his throne will not be stable.

Xu Qing: "I don't want to mention situ Xiao. What is the imperial court going to do now?"

Li Changting: "first, raise grain from all over the country. In the past, if there was a sudden natural disaster, sometimes people in several States had to be rescued. The pressure of more than 80000 people was not great."

Xu Qing: "let's see if the government in the surrounding cities can make a charitable donation. Every family can donate a kilo of grain or a piece of old clothes. It should be a large amount."

Li Changting thought about it and nodded: "feasible."

Xu Qing: "the only thing to worry about is whether these things can be completely and safely delivered to the people of Qinglong mountain. We have to be on guard against corruption or accidents on the road."Li Changting: "it's not a matter of time and a half to raise materials. In the early stage, it's still up to the imperial court and other places to allocate grain for emergency. In the later stage, it can use the people's fund-raising and relieve the pressure of the imperial court."

In recent years, the imperial court has paid attention to the development of farming, and its income is not rich. The tax money is a small amount of income, mainly by selling salt and iron, plus some land sales and rent collection. Although it makes a lot of money, it also spends a lot.

After the natural disaster, relief is needed everywhere. Last winter, kunzhou and Lanzhou were hit by the disaster, and a large amount of money was put in. There is really not much money in the Treasury.

This year, situ Xiao rebelled, and the imperial court allocated a large amount of military supplies. Now everyone is tightening their belts.

The money for disaster relief must be allocated, but it can relieve the pressure of the imperial court in other ways. Why not.

Xu Qing only wanted to help the poor people, while Li Changting wanted more.

Disaster relief is a matter of the imperial court, which has nothing to do with ordinary people. But if a fund-raising is held, you can also take this opportunity to publicize how situ Xiao pushed the people in the border town to a dead end. After all, if you want the people to donate materials, you have to tell them why and to whom.

Why not take this opportunity to discredit situ Xiao?

Xu Qing: "the so-called one side has difficulties, and the support of all sides is reflected in the cohesion of a country. But I am not so naive. There are so many people who only care about themselves, regardless of the lives of others. At this time, it depends on how the government publicizes and inspires everyone's enthusiasm."

It is said that, but Xu Qing has no idea of what to do.
