Lord of the Misty World

Chapter 129 The First Hand Chapter 28 Refugees

The city walls of Nancheng County and Dongyuan County were built with an external layer of cement brick wall of several meters and internal rammed earth structure, which greatly reduced the use of cement and bricks, but the three counties are all one kilometer long The city wall, the length and width of the city wall itself is also a huge project for Qinghe Ling.

Even the cement factory in Rock Town running at full capacity is not enough to supply.For this reason, according to the suggestion of the Government Affairs Department and the plan submitted, Di Feng issued an order to split the original personnel of the cement factory into the first cement factory and the second cement factory in the name of the Lord's Mansion.

And add a group of apprentices and workers to the two cement factories, and double the cement kiln to ensure the cement materials needed for the construction of Qinghe Lingda University.

……

The northern border of Dongyuan County.

With the expansion of Qinghe Territory, the fog in the northern part of Dongyuan County also began to spread outward, and patches of new land emerged from the fog.

These new areas are also plains, but because there is no order from the Lord's Mansion, the Second Frontier Battalion stationed in Dongyuan County has not expanded.

Guarding the border of Dongyuan County, training and patrolling day after day, sometimes dispersing or hunting approaching wild animals, the days turned into calm.

But in fact, because the boundary of Dongyuan County is complete, the entire Dongyuan County now has an area of ​​800 square kilometers.With only one battalion of [-] troops, it can barely garrison the entire border, and Suqian itself has no ability to expand.

On this day, the patrol team on the northern border suddenly saw a group of refugees coming from the north.The reason why these people are considered to be refugees is because the clothes on their bodies are relatively tattered.

And all of them look sallow and thin, it seems that they have not had enough to eat all year round, and they have been hungry for many days recently.The team leader who led the patrol took a general look and found that there seemed to be a very large number of refugees in this group.

At the first moment, the team leader immediately issued an order.

"Erniu, you should immediately notify the nearby outpost and ask for support."

The team leader himself was also a refugee, and he also had sympathy for this group of refugees.But as a soldier of Qinghe collar, he needs to abide by military discipline.

And with Qinghe Ling's current policy, as long as this group of refugees are honest, then within a few days, these refugees can join Qinghe Ling and live a life with food, shelter, and hope.

Therefore, the team leader fulfilled his duties immediately and blocked these refugees at the border, shouting loudly.

"Stop, this is the territory of Qinghe, what are you doing?"

After the refugees approached, they looked at the majestic soldiers holding weapons, and these refugees did not approach in fear.

After a while, an old homeless man came out from the crowd. This old man was wearing a shabby long gown and looked like a scholar.

The old man stepped forward and begged the soldier.

"Master Bing, we came from the south of the Yangtze River to escape the famine. There was a drought in our place, and now everyone can't survive. I hope you will do a good job and take us in."

Looking at this small team, although there are few people, every soldier is fully armed. The sharp spears and knives make this group of refugees who don't even have much strength to walk unable to resist at all.

"Jiangnan Province is another place name that has never been heard before." The team leader thought to himself.But the squad leader had learned about the foggy world during the recruit training camp, and he was able to become the squad leader. He also knew that this must be another group of refugees who entered the foggy world from other worlds under unknown circumstances.

"All of you wait here first." For the resettlement of refugees, Qing Heling has its own rules and regulations, the team leader said with a serious expression. "I have already reported the news of your arrival. As for whether to take you in or something else, it will be determined by our superiors."

The soldier called Erniu by the squad leader rushed to a post on the border, where a squad was stationed.

When the team stationed at this outpost heard Er Niu's intention, he immediately handed over a horse in the post to Er Niu and asked him to report to the brigade camp.

At the same time, five people were left to guard the post to the team leader in the post, and he took four soldiers to support the patrol team.

As a messenger riding a war horse, the soldier Er Niu set off from the border and soon arrived at the brigade station. This brigade was responsible for the garrison of this area in the northern part of Dongyuan County.

When the news of the arrival of the refugees reached the brigade camp, the brigade leader asked Erniu and a squadron to return immediately, and at the same time sent messengers to the battalion headquarters.

When the messenger arrived at the battalion headquarters, he sent the information to Su Qiang, the commander of the Second Frontier Battalion.Seeing the news that a group of refugees had arrived at the border, Su Qiang was also alarmed.

For refugees, as long as there are no special circumstances, the more the better, after all, only when there are more people, will there be more food produced and more soldiers can be recruited.

Su Qiang himself is the commander of the frontier defense battalion and has no right to deal with these refugees.

After thinking for a while, Su Qiang handed over this information to the current acting county magistrate of Dongyuan County.The acting county magistrate of Dongyuan County is responsible for coordinating all government affairs of Dongyuan County and has the right to resettle these refugees.

At this time, the acting magistrate of Dongyuan county government got the information from Su Qiang. Immediately, the acting magistrate immediately called the subordinate departments.

No matter how many people there are in this group of refugees, they must stay.Now the population of Dongyuan County is only about [-], which is too small compared to the territory of Dongyuan County.

Because the entire county has only tens of thousands of people, and the population is still in dozens of subordinate villages. At this time, the county seat has almost no personnel except public departments such as schools and hospitals, and the construction team that is building the county seat.

Such a situation made Dongyuan County look like a ghost town. As an acting county magistrate, I didn't have much to do every day, and I could only read books and drink tea in the county office every day.

But now, a group of refugees suddenly came. This is definitely an opportunity to increase the population of the county. I must accept them immediately. Only when the population increases can Dongyuan County be developed.

When I took office, I once walked through the entire Dongyuan County boundary and found that although Dongyuan County is now a grassland, the land is very fertile.

Moreover, there is a lake and a river passing through the territory, which are very suitable for farming. Now because there are not many people, large areas of land are barren.

Moreover, those pastures were actually due to the small population. A large piece of land was designated at the beginning. In fact, that piece of land can accommodate more people and raise more cattle and sheep.

No matter what the situation is, the arrival of this group of refugees is a good thing.Even in Dongyuan County, the [-] pastures divided by Di Feng occupied a large area of ​​land, but there is still a lot of land that is barren. The acting county magistrate estimated that according to normal villages, it would be a little problem to resettle two to three hundred villages. nothing.
