NOVEL NEXT Chapter 19 Vibrant Development
After completing the transaction, Mu Yi took the people back to Buqi County.
"Zhou Cang, I order you to lead a team of thousands to guard day and night. No one is allowed to approach without my warrant. Anyone who disobeys the order...will be killed!" Mu Yi said expressionlessly.
"Here!" Zhou Cang answered the order excitedly.
In just over half a month, they had gone from homeless refugees to a small force that now occupies a place and has no worries about food and grass. This made Zhou Cang truly feel the hope that Mu Yi brought to the Yellow Turbans.
Therefore, he will carry out any orders of Mu Yi to the letter. Even if Mu Yi asks him to kill himself now, it will not be a problem. He believes that Mu Yi can definitely bring a future to the Yellow Turbans.
"How is the recruitment of refugees in the Yellow Turbans?" Mu Yi turned to ask Pei Yuanshao. He had left these issues to Pei Yuanshao to deal with before, and he didn't know what the situation was now after he left for the past few days.
Mu Yi spent a lot of money to hire some craftsmen from the city to lead the yellow turbans and refugees to do the projects, fully mobilizing their enthusiasm.
In this era of chaos, simple disaster relief can no longer be recognized. Even the refugees do not believe that someone will hand out food for no reason. They believe in what they can get with their own hands.
Therefore, although Mu Yi did not remove the food distribution points for disaster relief, he increased the number of jobs needed.
Not only young people are needed, but also some women, the elderly, and even children are needed to serve as staff.
Even many projects are meaningless, such as Mu Yi's road construction. The current road construction is just paving the road with mature soil. The so-called mature soil is to stir-fry the soil with fire, so that there will be no insects or grass, ensuring that the soil is the quality of.
Then use tools to smooth the road and then pound it down firmly. However, this kind of road does not even have floor tiles and will be damaged in a short time. It can be said that it is a wasted effort.
However, Mu Yi still ordered these people to do it. After all, compared to the meaning of the work results, what is more important now is the work itself.
"My dear little virtuous master, a large number of companions are coming towards us now. In the past two days, more than 5,000 people have already devoted themselves to the work you assigned before!"
Pei Yuanshao said excitedly. Like Zhou Cang, he was worried about the food problem before, but now that he saw the piles of food, he no longer had any worries in his heart.
"Very good. Next, you are responsible for selecting some young men with good physical fitness for me. The more, the better. I will take over the rest of the work for now."
Mu Yi nodded, and then gave Pei Yuanshao a new order.
The size of a fist is also a necessity for survival. After the food problem is solved, the army must be expanded, at least to the point where it makes surrounding counties intimidated.
This job is very difficult, and Pei Yuanshao had done similar work under Zhang Jiao, so he was able to make the best use of his talents.
As for life, Mu Yi still plans to continue to work for relief.
Cash-for-work seems silly, but the effect is really good.
Not only the refugees, but also the people in the city were willing to devote themselves to work. It must be said that he had laid a foundation for Tachibana to believe in something.
Now that there is enough food, he plans to continue to expand
This thing is the first step to establish credibility, and it can also include a little private work in it.
For example, under the guise of teaching people how to fish, it is better to teach them how to build houses, give them food, and pay them wages.
After this batch of houses are built, they will be sold to these refugees. It doesn't matter if they don't have enough money. They can directly sell them with down payment loans.
In disguise, all these refugees were tied to the Yellow Turban camp, which tied everyone's interests together.
In the same way, there is farming. If he has no money to buy land, he sells the land directly, also with a down payment loan.
But the difference is that these lands collect agricultural taxes, directly eliminating the messy taxes of the Han Dynasty, and dividing them into 50-50.
40% of the agricultural tax and 10% of the loan. After repayment, you will have the right to use this land. As for the ownership, it will be taken over by Huang Jin.
Then a purchase restriction order was introduced, and each person could own at most one house and forty acres of land.
Mu Yi also knew that there must be many problems with his mechanical methods, but why did he have no talents at hand? There were too few people in the Yellow Turbans who could help.
He also had to adopt this kind of one-size-fits-all policy to stabilize people's hearts.
Anyway, even if there is a problem on his side, it will not be any worse than the current corrupt Han Dynasty. At the worst, he will give these refugees a bite to eat.
There are a lot of people who can't survive these days. Although his policies are rough and don't even benefit the people, they can at least allow these people to survive.
In terms of actual results, the work-for-relief method completely dispelled the worries of the refugees. Mu Yi even organized a group of people to go out to rescue the refugees.
After all, even if many refugees hear Pei Yuanshao's propaganda, they may be dubious. Moreover, Pei Yuanshao cannot cover the entire Qingzhou, and there may even be omissions around Buqi County, so he simply sends a group of people to recruit refugees.
After this series of combination punches, the number of people who recognized Mu Yi almost increased in a straight line, and Mu Yi even felt that his talent would be able to be used again soon.
After experiencing the great harvest in the Elf World, Mu Yi became more interested in traveling to another world. He felt that the focus of overtaking on the Yellow Turban curve would have to rely on this for the time being.
But even though he thinks so, he is still managing the county carefully. His active mental power allows him to think much faster than before. Many problems can be solved with just a little thought.
Under his governance, the county looked like a busy place at first glance, and the number of people quickly soared to about 100,000, almost doubling, and it was just the beginning.
Mu Yi did not settle for nothing. On the one hand, he sent people to continue to buy food in other places, and on the other hand, he began to send people to open up fields and prepare for subsequent planting.
If anyone else needs to estimate a maturity cycle, he doesn't.
Nanhua is trying to localize the druid's spells and try its best to let the Yellow Turbans use them.
Mu Yi selected a group of half-grown children and sent them to Nan Hua as apprentices. While exercising their mental strength, they learned about planting from the Druid training manual.
It has to be said that every druid master in the elf world is good at planting.
Although the crops grown in the two worlds are almost incompatible with each other, they have done in-depth research on the fruits, plums and other things in that world.
Mu Yi orally translated those cultivation experiences and classics, and Nan Hua transcribed them directly, and then used them as teaching materials to teach the children both writing and druid spells.
Although there is currently no way to achieve the magical effect of Druid's instant maturity, as an experimental field, the growth rate of seedlings is obviously faster than normal.
Mu Yi predicted that these apprentices might be able to achieve the miracle of three crops a year in Qingzhou in the future.
