Chapter 101 Refugees Entering Changzhou

After all, there is a Changzhou between Yang Yichuan and Li Ru's location and Tianzhou. The news is not so fast, and it will take some effort. What Li Ru and Yang Yichuan know now is that the rain has temporarily decreased, but they don't know that the rain has become heavier that afternoon. The next day, this morning, the mother river had broken its dam.

"The rain has become smaller, it would be great if I could stop."

Yang Yichuan just echoed that Xihecheng is shining brightly now, but they didn’t know what the situation in Tianzhou would be like now. “I hope it’s the same as our Xihecheng, with the brightly sunny.”

"By the way, Lord Li, how is the grain reserve in our Xihecheng?"

"The grain reserves are relatively small, and they were searched by Beiyuan people last year. Although they bought a lot from the south, the granary in Xihecheng has not yet been filled. However, the grain sent back from Xifengzhai is probably 10% of the grain. In addition, His Highness has also purchased grain recently, so overall, there is still surplus grain. As long as there is no major disaster, the granary will be replenished by the autumn harvest."

Yang Yichuan was thinking about the matter, "It's not enough. I have bought a lot of grain in Yangzhou, which is full of food through the Xihe Chamber of Commerce, and stored it. The grain is not much. Autumn is coming soon, and then it's autumn harvest. During the autumn harvest, the people of Beiyuan will definitely go south again and invade our Xihe Prefecture. It's really urgent." Yang Yichuan couldn't help but sigh a few times. Although there is now the Xihe Army and there are still 5,000 Xiao family troops guarding outside the Xihe City. However, food is always a problem, and the granary is not satisfied with it now. If there is any change, it will be really uncomfortable.

"Yes, the granary is to prevent accidental changes. Once a disaster occurs or there is an accident, the food in the granary is a life-saving straw for the people."

"Then Lord Li, please pay more attention to the matter here. If you have any news, send someone to our mansion to notify me. The Xihe Army is ready to go. If a disaster really happens, there will definitely be refugees in several states near Tianzhou and Huazhou. I think our Xihe Prefecture is now vast and sparsely populated, and it can still accept many people."

"Yes, Xihe Prefecture is vast and sparsely populated, and there are many wastelands that no one has cultivated. The more people there are, Xihe Prefecture can develop."

Yang Yichuan returned to the mansion. Now Yang Yichuan wants to apply this fire-type heating spiritual array as soon as possible.

Changdongcheng, a city on the easternmost part of Changzhou, has received a large number of refugees since the morning, but there are far more refugees coming from Tianzhou.

At the beginning, there were only more than 2,000 refugees, but more and more. The geographical location of Tianzhou and Huazhou also determines that the population of these two states can be said to be the top states in the country. According to incomplete statistics from the Dawei Dynasty, there were more than 300 million people, Kyoto, Tianzhou and Huazhou alone had almost 100 million people, and the other ten states only had about 200 million people.

Most of the people in Tianzhou are still in the same direction as Changzhou and Kyoto. The principle is close to each other, and there are definitely many people who run to Changzhou. At the beginning, it is only one or two thousand, but then it is definitely tens of thousands or even more people displaced.

Considering this situation, Changdong City cannot accommodate so many refugees. Therefore, after a little comfort and a rest, the cities in Changzhou will send some refugees to share the pressure caused by excessive refugees.

However, even though we have contacted other cities and started to evacuate refugees to other cities, we still cannot resist this large number of arrival refugees.

No one wants to leave his hometown so much, and he is even more reluctant to leave his hometown. However, natural disasters are ahead, not leaving his hometown means death. A large number of people, without any property, just take their family and run around for life.

The evacuation was fine before, but some of the people who evacuated later saw the scene of floods. They slowly moved away from the Mother River, away from Tianzhou, and came to Changzhou. In fact, the edge of Tianzhou is already safe, and the rain is just light rain, but there is no place to eat in this edge area and where can we temporarily settle down.

I can only go to Changdong City first, then go to Changzhou hinterland, to Chang'an City, and to Changqing City.

Changzhou became lively for a while. Such a large number of refugees came over, and no cities in Changzhou dared to look down on them. If they were not handled properly and were not taken seriously, if they were reported to the court and let the emperor hear it, it would be certain that the official would be lost, and they would probably have no life.

"If it is time to open the granary, open the granary to provide disaster relief. It also needs to divide an area for these refugees to use and take some tents for the people to use."

The matters in Tianzhou and Huazhou are not over yet, the mother river has broken its dam, the rain has not stopped, and the people in dangerous areas have not been transferred, so all these need to be done quickly.

The transferred people are temporarily managed by officials from other states, and Yang Yiwu and Yang Yize are still transferring people in their respective areas of responsibility.

Yang Yiwu was in front of a map. The map of this mansion was marked with a large area, which was the expected unsafe area. There was another circle in the middle, and this part was the area that had been affected.

"Continue to transfer, the disaster this time is so great that it will probably affect half of Tianzhou. Even if there is no dam breaking, and so much rain, a lot of farmland will probably be flooded."

"Your Highness, the northern part of this area has been almost transferred, and the southern part is unknown for the time being."

"Hey, I hope everyone can leave. Tianzhou is too unsafe."

"yes."

"Is there any news in Huazhou?"

"There is no news in Huazhou, but the situation is not optimistic."

"Forget it, keep going and work hard to move all the people in this area north and to Kyoto before noon."

Yang Tianci, who was always concerned about Tianzhou and Huazhou, learned that the mother river broke, and knew that the rain had not stopped yet, and even more so that Yang Yiwu and Yang Yize were doing their best to divert the people.

"How is the Minister of Revenue, in the southern suburbs, responsible for receiving the people's preparations?"

"Your Majesty, you have made sufficient preparations."

"That's good. I'll ask the Imperial Commander Zhu Kai to take some Imperial Commanders to help."

"Yes, your Majesty."

It was the second day when Yang Yichuan and Li Ru received this news, and a large number of refugees had already arrived in Changzhou. They were mainly scattered in Changdong City, Chang'an City and Changqing City, and a little further away, and there were no refugees on Xihezhou yet.

When Yang Yichuan learned the news from Li Ru, he couldn't help but sigh that in the face of such a major natural disaster, human resources were still small in Thailand. Even in his previous life, technology was already considered to be developed, but there were still earthquakes and typhoons such as natural disasters caused a lot of casualties. "Oh, I really didn't expect it to break the dam and cause such serious consequences."

"Fortunately, Prince Wu and Prince Ze decisively transferred the people as soon as possible, otherwise it would be unimaginable."

"Changzhou is also relocating refugees, but there are too many people who have moved from Tianzhou to Changzhou. For a while, there are probably many problems."

"Mr. Li, what do you think about our Xihe Prefecture accepting some refugees?" Yang Yichuan was just sighing at the horror of the natural disaster, and also had a sudden idea, wanting to transfer some people to this Xihe City from this incident.

"Xihezhou? Our Xihezhou is uneasy, and I'm afraid the people are unwilling to come."

"It doesn't matter whether or not you come. I plan to ask General Lin Tu to take Xihe Army to transport some food to Changzhou and help the people. If possible, the people who volunteer to Xihe State can be taken over."

"Mr. Li, you also know that most of the Xihecheng District has been rebuilt now, but there are still very few people living there. In Xicheng District alone, the current situation can accommodate about 2,000 people, and there will be other urban areas. In addition to the first time, my factory workshop now also needs a large number of people to work, with food, accommodation and wages, which will probably attract some people."

"It's true. Although it's a bit selfish, it's still letting the people settle down as soon as possible. Let's do this, General Lin and I'll go there together."

"Then I'll bother Lord Li."

"It's not just to help the people, but for the development of Xihezhou." Li Ru of course knew that Yang Yichuan's method was selfish, but it really helped the people. Li Ru knew Yang Yichuan's workshops and factories, which were dangerous, but Yang Yichuan's management was very strict to avoid accidents. Yang Yichuan was really good to those people who "worked" in it. He was well paid, had good food and well dressed, had a lot of wages, and had regular rest days. It had nothing to do with squeezing the people, which was one of the reasons why Li Ru agreed.
