Chapter 253 Points-based Settlement
Chapter 253 Points-based Settlement
Someone brave enough said, "Sir, if I do a good job, can I settle down here?"
"Of course you can. As long as the refugees who have passed the assessment want to stay in Mengzhou, they can stay and settle down. The future development here is definitely not what you can imagine. Our government officials and the God Emperor and Human Emperor far away in the capital will care about you and lead you to live a better life than ever before. You can wear warm clothes, eat enough, have meat, vegetables, oil and water, and live in a big house. The children will have free books to read. But the premise of all this is that everyone must be united and not fight among themselves!"
When the refugees heard this, their mouths watered. They really wanted to try what life was like with rice, meat and vegetables to eat.
"Sir, we will work hard, we will listen to you and do whatever you tell us to do!"
"I want to~!"
"We want to stay and settle down here too!"
Everyone was talking at once, "Then follow the state's rules, obey the arrangements and follow the instructions. As long as you are not a sneaky person, Mengzhou welcomes you!"
Most of the victims who arrived earlier had been there for seven days. After being checked, bathed, and changed clothes, they looked completely different. Then, based on their registration information, they were selected from various employment locations.
Those who are in poor health and some elderly and children who are not strong enough to work should receive treatment and then be placed in mud houses.
And give some simple tasks.
The older children have to go to school for half a day to learn to read, and then go to the workshop for half a day to do simple work.
All children are taken care of by daycare centers and picked up by their families in the evening.
After Gu Bingxiu gave orders for the specific measures, some of them were the work of the prefectural governor, some were the work of the prefectural judge, and there were also many problems encountered during the execution that had to be consulted with him.
After doing all this, Lord Gu sat down on the ground. Regardless of his image, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
These things are really a headache for whoever does them!
He himself may not even know that, unknowingly, his personality has become more and more like Jun Moli's, more and more casual, and no longer always has the elegant image of reading the books of sages.
These pragmatic current affairs are far more difficult and more meaningful than writing a few beautiful poems!
Although no one praises it, the benefit is that it satisfies both the body and mind, and all ambitions can be realized.
When Gu Bingxiu thought about how Su Yue managed to worry about so many things for a little girl, he felt ashamed!
Just as he finished dealing with this matter and was about to return to the provincial capital, Gu Bingzheng heard the guards report that a large number of refugees fleeing famine were about to arrive in Mengzhou.
Come again?
Gu Bingxiu is going crazy!
There was a temporary thatched hut at the city gate, along the city wall, which occupied a large area.
But if another thousand people come, it will not be a small number.
Gu Bingxiu held his forehead and said, this must be properly arranged, otherwise there will be chaos and disaster.
The medical bureau here is staffed with many doctors who have been trained in Yuejiantang.
People from the Medical Department came and requested that more public toilets must be built, because if these filth were to be discharged everywhere, it would easily lead to infectious diseases.
Fortunately, there were only about a thousand victims arriving.
The seven-day quarantine period consisted of two meals a day, one meal of vegetable porridge and one of potatoes.
These grains come from the grain given by the Divine Emperor.
These people can also do something within their capabilities, which is to repair the city wall.
Gu Bingxiu ordered the city wall to be expanded ten meters outward, and then used the people isolated in the outer city, in family units, with each family providing one man, to build the city wall!
Two hours in the morning, two hours in the afternoon, and the rest of the time for rest.
If you work for seven days and have no illness, you can bring your family in through the old city gate.
Then take a shower, change clothes and find a job.
From now on, meals will be provided by whichever place needs you.
Let Liu Zhoutong take care of the specific matters later!
A large number of disaster victims arrived, and the original patrols by yamen runners were not enough.
Liu Zhoutong selected a person who was good at speaking from the previous batch of disaster victims, and had him give lectures at the city gate every day and answer the victims' questions.
"This Mengzhou, when we first arrived, we were the same as you, and we needed to be quarantined outside the city for seven days, otherwise if there was any plague that spread to the whole city, it would be bad. This is also for the good of all of us.
As long as you can get through seven days, you can rest assured. Just do whatever they ask you to do. At least you have a place to sleep, clothes to wear, food to eat, and sometimes you can even see some meat, so just put in some effort.
People like us, who don't know how to do anything, are just a bunch of strength for nothing?"
"Will they drive us away after they have used us? We are not locals..."
