The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

Chapter 577: Withstanding the Pressure and Absorbing Refugees

But at the same time, as long as he takes action, it will be impossible for him to hide.

The imperial court could not tolerate a vassal king doing things that even the imperial court could not do!

At that time, he will inevitably confront the imperial court.

However, the military situation in the north is urgent now. Judging from the current policy of the imperial court towards the peasant uprising army, it is mainly based on political appeasement and supplemented by military suppression.

In particular, the main focus now is on recruiting the most powerful and tough guy in the rebel army, "King Chuang".

Speaking of the 'King of Rebellion', Zhu Youhua also introduced him in detail.

This rebel army relied on looting food from wealthy households, using food as bait to absorb refugees and civilians and quickly increase its military strength.

Because this rebel army scattered food and recruited soldiers wherever they went, there was even a proverb circulating among the people.

Eat his mother's food, wear his mother's clothes, open the gate to welcome the King of Rebellion, but the King of Rebellion comes and refuses to pay taxes.

In this era of information blockade, I don’t know how this sentence spread so quickly, and people from north to south actually knew about it.

Also because of his good reputation among the people, King Chuang captured several cities in succession and his territory became increasingly larger.

The imperial court is now unable to spare a large number of troops to suppress the rebellion and can only offer amnesty.

If he angered the court at this time, he would most likely be reprimanded first.

By then, he could go through the eunuchs and submit a letter of apology, and that would probably work.

However, even if it was really beyond his expectations.

The imperial court was determined to send troops to attack him despite the pressure from the northern barbarians, so he was not too afraid.

Now that he is fully armed, he is confident that he can hold out for some time even if a war breaks out.

As long as it is delayed for a period of time, there will inevitably be changes later.

However, the entire country is already in a precarious situation.

If we really fall into civil war, I am afraid that the barbarians will take the opportunity to invade, and the situation will inevitably become worse.

It can be said that it is difficult for him to make any choice in his current position.

But in the end, he decided to withstand the pressure and fully accept refugees from all over the country.

Adhering to the principle of 'from near to far, from coastal areas to inland', comprehensive disaster relief efforts were carried out.

At this time, he had ordered the ships to sail north from the coastline, straight to Lu, and then go to Zhongzhou by land.

The two regions of Lu and Zhongzhou have large populations and were more severely affected by the disaster.

When the ships brought the refugees back, they were assigned to Quantong County, which had the smallest population.

If there are any surpluses, they will be distributed to the remaining counties and cities.

After all, whoever comes to his territory will become his people in the future!

As for the ships, after a brief repair, they had to head south to Siam and other places to collect grain.

At the same time, he has notified all counties and cities to actively absorb disaster victims and expand the population under their jurisdiction.

As long as there are refugees coming from the surrounding areas, all counties and cities will absorb them and then assign them to settle down.

At the same time, he had sent out all the troops in his hands.

Several important checkpoints within the fiefdom are heavily guarded.

Now, except for a small number of staff members in the entire Huaiwang Palace, only a small number of them were arranged to resettle the victims.

The rest are preparing for the possible war.

It was at this time that Lu Qingqing's first batch of pills was ready.

It can be said that this batch of pills came just in time.

King Huai praised Lu Qingqing again and again in the letter.

In the meantime, here's hoping the next batch of pills arrives soon.

After reading the letter, Lu Qingqing thought about these things carefully for a while and then went straight to the pharmaceutical factory.

At this point, the pharmaceutical factory was clearly divided into two parts.

Among them, the west side, which is still under construction, is in full swing.

The craftsmen were busy working, either standing on wooden ladders or holding shovels.

But the east side, which has been built, is very quiet.

There are almost no people outside. Only when you go into the house can you see a group of employees quickly processing medicinal materials and making pills.

Lu Qingqing walked around several rooms, sorted out the various procedures, and simplified the most time-consuming steps of processing medicinal materials.

The simplified steps make the employees feel that they are a bit too sloppy.

But seeing that Lu Qingqing looked confident, they all did as she said.

After all, Manager Hua had just released a new reward policy.

Nowadays, the entire pharmaceutical factory operates on a piecework system.

That is to say, the more each person does, the more they earn.

In addition, in each pharmaceutical manufacturing step, the fastest person will be selected and given an additional reward.

It can be said that the employees in pharmaceutical factories nowadays wish they could stay up all night and make money all day long!

When Lu Qingqing was walking around the pharmaceutical factory, Manager Hua followed her from beginning to end and carried out her orders 100%.

This time, he also received the prince's oral order brought by the official, asking him to obey Lu Qingqing's arrangements.

At the same time, manage the pharmaceutical factory employees as well as possible to produce more pills.

As for the pharmaceutical factory employees he had previously written to request, they are now being recruited.

It is estimated that we will reach Baoshan Town before the pharmaceutical factory is fully completed.

After optimizing the pharmaceutical factory's processes, Lu Qingqing went to her own office and closed the door.

He put aside the bag used to conceal his identity and began to add space water into the medicine paste.

According to the previous ratio, all five barrels of medicine slurry were added with space water and stirred with a shovel before leaving the pharmaceutical factory.

Outside, the sun was still high in the sky, and the air was so hot that it was distorted.

Lu Qingqing put on her hat and walked home quickly.

When passing by Aunt Zhang and Hu Laosan's house, I saw Aunt Zhang cleaning the yard.

Now, the houses of both families have been basically completed, with only some finishing work such as cleaning left.

The craftsmen of the Zhao family team have also withdrawn.

When Aunt Zhang saw Lu Qingqing, she called her over and brought out a bowl of white bread from the house.

"Daya, I just made some red bean buns this morning. They're so sticky and sweet. Take some home and have some."

After thanking her, Lu Qingqing took the bowl and looked at Aunt Zhang, who had obviously looked haggard these days.

After thinking for a while, he took out a small jar of tangerine peel and honey water from the bag he was carrying.

"Aunt Zhang, this tangerine peel and honey water is very good for your health. You can drink a spoonful of it with water every day."

Aunt Zhang took the jar that Lu Qingqing handed to her, and her eyes turned red again.

She has been alone at home these days, and when she thinks of her son who has no news from her, she regrets that she did not discipline her child well over the years.

Being alone at home with no one to talk to, I felt even more frustrated.

The work of building the house is so busy that the work in the fields cannot be skipped.

I was so busy and tired that I felt a little out of energy and spirit.

Lu Qingqing knew her worries and thought about going to Yining County to deliver the silk tomorrow, so she said:

"Aunt Zhang, I'm going to Yining County tomorrow. Do you have anything to say to Uncle Li?"

Aunt Zhang listened, shook her head and sighed:

“Oh, no need.

If the boss finds that evildoer, he will definitely give me the letter.

If you don’t believe it now, it means you haven’t found it yet!”
