Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan were in the West Mountain and had just met a group of merchants.

The merchants were very happy. It was a matter of being able to see the prince and Duke of Qi who could still be lively and lively for half their lives.

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan were also very happy. If they sat down and talked about their feelings, they could fool others into showing some practical benefits.

Everyone got what they wanted, as if Zhu Hou had taken care of the business opportunities.

"If it doesn't work, it won't work. In the future, we have to raise prices and raise more than 5,000 taels of donations, or recruit 100 merchants who are willing to recruit 100 victims, so we can accompany them to have dinner with them. If we don't need to resettle victims in the future, we can also smooth out the accounts of Taishan people."

Fang Jifan immediately showed a look of admiration.

Zhu Houzhao saw him like this: "What, are you envious?"

"No." Fang Jifan shook his head: "It's admiration."

"Admiration?" Zhu Houzhao was confused.

Fang Jifan gave a thumbs up: "Your Highness is still obsessed with repaying the debt, and even his own account is still thinking about repaying it. How can I not admire it? I have never heard of borrowing money from my father-in-law and having to pay it back."

Zhu Houzhao raised her eyebrows: "Of course, who is this palace? I..."

Wang Jinyuan said outside: "Catal Grand Secretary Li Dongyang is here."

Li Dongyang rushed over and put the memorial on.

Zhu Houzhao looked carefully, frowned, and said, "Lao Fang, this is beyond my expectations. Why are so many people coming?"

Fang Jifan hurriedly said, "I think the victims are unable to withstand the disasters for many years. Every now and then, the crops in this area are always unrecovered. The court's relief is always slow."

Zhu Houzhao underestimated: "Since that's the case, then..."

He paused: "It's no big deal. Just add 20 million taels of silver to settle it. Lao Fang, this silver should be enough."

Fang Jifan said: "If I save a little bit, I'll have enough."

Li Dongyang listened and was about to faint.

Add 20 million...

If this silver is given to the treasury, it can...

Zhu Houzhao put the memorial aside and said to Li Dongyang: "Master Li, have you heard it? Don't worry, the victims of the palace will definitely be well placed, and will teach them to be at home. These are all my people, and I will never let them starve and freeze."

Li Dongyang just felt dizzy, with 50 million taels of silver in front and back. He found that he was gradually no longer worried about the victims, and what he was worried about was the emperor.

"minister……"

Li Dongyang was so hard that he wanted to say something.

But... I can't say anything.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand: "Okay, Master Li is the only busy in the cabinet. I can't live without you there. You can go and do your own thing. I don't need Master Li to take care of both here."

"Yes, I'll say goodbye."

This is how people are. At the beginning, 30 million taels might have scared Li Dongyang, but when they do it again, 20 million taels, it is still shocking, but it will not make Li Dongyang lose his beauty.

Let him go.

This prodigal son.

…………

The first batch of refugees have arrived in the capital.

They were led by a group of students and civil servants. Along the way, local officials received money and food for them to eat and drink.

When the capital was about to be around the corner, there were special checkpoints on this necessary road.

Jiang Chen personally brought rows of civil servants to put ink and set up sacks here, and every victim of the disaster was re-registered.

Name, age, whether your limbs are intact, whether you have any diseases, how many people are coming, where is their origin, whether you can write your own name, and whether you have a skill.

He wrote down, then made wooden signs and distributed them to them, and after that, he allowed them to enter the capital.

There are seven or eight thousand people in this group.

Zhao Mu is among them.

He was just a teenager, thirteen years old, and his parents were already separated. He just followed the team in a daze. Along the way, someone distributed dried sweet potatoes and steamed cakes to him, and followed the crowd to a rare place. In the distance, a new building was being built here, and the newly built road just extended to the end of the new building.

Countless craftsmen are busy in the building.

And leaning against the new building is a continuous shed.

The man who brought him was a scholar from a college. He was in charge of more than 90 families. When he arrived at the place, the scholar hurried to find people in the shed. After a moment, he began to hold a book and start to designate everyone's respective sheds.

It is said that in the future, they may move into the new building.

But now, I can only stay in the house built by the shed.

The scholar brought more than 90 households to visit the main facilities near the shed, including a special clinic and a temporary newly built dental shop. However, this dental shop is not used to buy and sell the population, but a full-time promotion work. There is also a small canteen. After all, the shed cannot make fires at will. In the future, a large number of people will gather here. Once a fire occurs, there will be endless troubles.

Therefore, this small canteen is temporarily responsible for the diet of more than 90 households.

The scholar began to read that since then, they have been in the seventh group, with more than 90 households in the seventh group. In the future, if there are any difficulties, they can come to him and he can come forward to solve them.

This made Zhao Mu feel relieved.

Although he didn't remember the name of the scholar, he was always there to take care of them all along the way. He was just like a dedicated elder brother, and he was said to have read many books and was knowledgeable. He was not only familiar with the situation in Beijing, but also had the academy to support him.

This led to him becoming a channel for more than 90 families to contact the government. Even if there were any servants, they would come to him first.

If ordinary people are scattered and unorganized, they will either feel relieved and at a loss when they arrive in this unfamiliar environment, or these victims will have an organization similar to Taoist sects and gangs on their own. In the end, this temporary shanty town camp will be in chaos.

But with this scholar, everything is different.

The scholar let them settle down, and then they went to work hard again, and smoke began to rise in the cafeteria.

Several patients along the way were also sent to the clinic.

Not only that, there were also many beddings brought by carriages and horses.

When the scholar came back, he held a list in his hand: "Zhao Mu, Zhao Mu."

"exist."

"The latest news." The scholar looked at Zhao Mu with a smile: "Chen Ji Car Store needs seven coachmen, one of which was given to our group. You are the youngest, go and learn first. Someone will come to take you tomorrow. You will go to work in the future, and you don't have to be afraid... If something happens, it's the same for you to come to find you. In the next three years, I will take care of you. Tomorrow, you will wait in front of your house, and someone will come to take you."

Zhao Mu didn't know what it was like to drive a car.

But he was not worried at all because... this scholar made him trustworthy.

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

Then, the scholar took the list and went to find the next family.

Countless business banks and workshops, even inns and shops have produced many positions.

The first batch of people who came here are not worried about not having karma for the time being.

Although the workshops and inns all hope to recruit experienced employees, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince issued an edict, and the scholars of Xishan Academy came to the door with leaflets every now and then, talking about the benefits of recruiting disaster victims all day long. The ears were called out, but you can't drive people away. The students of Xishan Academy are not easy to mess with. Some merchants are inspired and lack people. When the soldiers come, they can only let an old craftsman take them with them. Therefore, they are willing to accept these disaster victims. Some merchants are recruited by others. If they don't accept them, they will inevitably be embarrassed when they go out in the future, so they have to pinch their noses and recognize them.

Early the next morning, people from various workshops and shops came and led them away.

For all this, Zhao Mu is unfamiliar with everything.

He only knew that his work was not tiring. He followed a master, drove carriages and carriages along the established route, and in a few months he could stand alone.

After returning from work, he realized that the shanty town area had expanded a lot, and many people came today.

People in the same group became neighbors and became familiar with each other, which made people feel more at ease.

As for the newcomers coming in, they actually have nothing to do with them.

In the evening, the scholars would come and take a walk.

At this time, someone will look for him, some ask him to write letters, some hope to ask him to help find his lost relatives, or his troubles during work, and occasionally they will talk about them.

Zhao Mu had no worries. He was an orphan, but it didn't matter. He worked hard during the day, but at night, he went to the shed, covered him with a new bedding, and fell asleep.

…………

Even if you receive funding from major commercial banks, the money will still be spent like flowing water.

It is by no means possible to settle so many people by simply relying on inspiration and edicts.

Zhu Houzhao was getting more and more troubled. Fang Jifan has been very well-behaved recently. He did not talk back to him, but kept following Zhu Houzhao to solve one new problem after another.

For example... the wells in the shanty towns are starting to be insufficient. People's water needs have been underestimated before, so they have to order people to take the guys and dig more wells.

For example, a large number of new buildings have insufficient manpower, and most of the new victims have no experience in construction, so they need to quickly train a group of masons and bricklayers.

The medical school is also overcrowded.

I naturally went to the clinic for minor illnesses, but when I got seriously ill, I had to send it to the medical school.

There are quite a few students from the medical school, but the beds in the Jamstone Room are obviously not enough.

As a last resort, spend money.

Zhu Houbao looked at the accounts and was a little confused: "Lao Fang, we may have spent a lot."

Fang Jifan was unwilling to look over and take a look, as if he had nothing to do with him: "Your Highness is wise and has a clear judgment. I don't know anything, so I will not ask you to teach me anymore. Oh, Your Highness, this is the memorial I just sent, saying that it is tomorrow, I am afraid that there are still 40,000 to 50,000 people to arrive, and the East District is already overcrowded."
