Chapter 110 Emperor Yan “died in battle”?
Compared to the past, Lin Yi has more mature experience.
The news of the refugees heading south spread faster than their legs. Before the refugees reached Pengcheng, Huangfu Qingling and others had already learned the news.
At this time, Huangfu Qingling was discussing with the officials in the room how to deal with this group of refugees.
"Your Majesty, these people are from the State of Yan, and there are definitely spies among them. If we allow them to infiltrate, I'm afraid the future will be uncertain."
"Your Majesty, refugees are the north's problem. We should stop them from coming in!"
"Your Majesty, I believe that these refugees can come in, but they must be given a separate place. We will have officers and soldiers monitoring them day and night!"
……
What the officials said was similar: either they wanted to control this group of refugees or they wanted to drive them away.
"Bao Di Bu, what do you think about this?"
Huangfu Qingling was a little annoyed. Although what these ministers said was right, she wanted to see if there was a better solution.
After all, these refugees are heading south one after another. The first batch was over 3,000 people, the second batch was estimated to be 5,000, and the third batch could be over 10,000...
If they were allowed to cause trouble, the resulting disaster might be even more terrifying than the refugees migrating north that the King of Qi had previously "created".
The people will become angry and resistant to the Yan people, and then business will become difficult.
"Although I don't know what to do, I know there is someone who can."
Bao Bu Tong thought of Lin Yi first.
Since he had a good solution last time, it should be the same this time!
"If Lord Lin could come and discuss this together, we would indeed have some new ideas."
"Master Bao's words are very reasonable!"
……
Both the assistant ministers of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel were very resistant to Lin Yi in the past.
It was just that when Huangfu Qingling went on the expedition before, Lin Yi's actions won their favor.
An unprofessional person is self-aware and can let them do things on their own. The only price they pay is to record what they do.
Therefore, apart from some resistance to Lin Yi actually becoming an official, they actually wanted to listen to Lin Yi's advice.
"Well, then go and bring Lin Yi here."
Having said that, Bao Bu Tong immediately went downstairs to invite Lin Yi.
When he came up, he explained to Lin Yi the upcoming refugee problem.
“Refugees are easy to deal with.”
"As long as we can solve the problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation, there won't be any problems at all."
Lin Yi was originally optimistic about the refugee issue, but after reaching the top floor and hearing the actual situation, he could no longer laugh.
Although they came in batches, the total number was at least three times more than the number of refugees heading north from the south!
Even if we want to build houses, it is probably impossible to build so many at once.
And food is also a huge problem.
"Lin Yi, just speak up. They all want to hear your opinion."
Huangfu Qingling looked at Lin Yi in silence and asked immediately.
"Your Majesty, everyone, this group of refugees... seems a bit too many..."
Lin Yi frowned slightly, "Besides, they are refugees from Yan State. We can't let them all stay here."
Hearing this, smiles appeared on the faces of all the officials.
It's rare for Lin Yi to stand on their side!
"Lin Yi, have you run out of energy in the past few months?"
"I didn't ask you to say that."
Huangfu Qingling was somewhat displeased. She felt that these refugees could be used, but she just didn't know how.
"Your Majesty, that's not quite right."
"I'm saying we can't keep them all."
Lin Yi raised the corners of his mouth slightly and began to explain the countermeasures.
“Let the refugees register according to the previous method.”
"Then we'll start building houses! They'll build them themselves and help us level the land around Liangzhou City."
Hearing these words, Huangfu Qingling's mouth curled up slightly, "Then what? How should we deal with these people?"
"Go back to where you came from."
"Compared to living here, there should be many people willing to go back and help the Emperor of Yan conquer the world."
Lin Yi explained, "As long as we can incite them, there should be quite a few people who would want to go back."
"But these are unarmed civilians."
"Are they going to war?"
A minister of the Ministry of Personnel had a puzzled look on his face.
"You're going to use officers and soldiers to surround and guard unarmed civilians?"
Lin Yi smiled and said, "This is a strategy to let them know that we, Dayong, support them to return and support the Emperor of Yan."
"Wouldn't the friendship between the two countries last forever?"
Hearing this, Huangfu Qingling suddenly realized, and she finally understood what she was thinking of!
"It's not just about maintaining a lasting friendship. We should also strengthen trade and allow Dayong's influence to penetrate the hearts of the people of Yan. Then, one day in the future, won't we be able to achieve unification?"
After hearing this, all the officials had no objections.
Compared to how they controlled the Yan State refugees, Lin Yi played it more "advanced".
"Then according to Lin Yi's approach, what else is wrong?"
Huangfu Qingling nodded slightly, and seeing that all the officials in the room had no objections, she began to ask for details.
"If we follow what Lord Lin said, the first problem is food."
"There are as many refugees as there are mouths to feed. Feeding them... is not easy."
The Minister of Revenue slowly spoke, "Based on the 100,000 refugees, the food stored in Liangzhou City will definitely not last more than a month."
“There are also security issues.”
"Now this is a refugee from Yan State, so it is inevitable that they will be different from Dayong."
Bao Bu Tong spoke, summarizing the experience from last time, and he also raised questions.
"Open up a piece of land for the refugees and build several communities north of Liangzhou City."
Lin Yi said, "Then spread the net on both sides of Liangzhou City and don't let any refugees slip through."
In his plan, these refugees must have relevant "documents" before they can go south to Liangzhou City.
Otherwise, as several other officials have said, spies will infiltrate.
"Ministry of Revenue, draft a document and instruct the three southern cities of Jicheng, Yecheng, and Xingyang to deliver food and fodder. We need to have enough to feed the 200,000 refugees for at least a month!"
Huangfu Qingling immediately issued an order, "Bao Bu Tong, you will work with the Ministry of Works to accommodate the refugees from the north. The Ministry of Personnel will keep a record of the refugees' information. We must not allow the refugees to affect the operations of Liangzhou City and Dayong!"
"Lin Yi, you will be in charge of the overall management of the series of events in the north."
After hearing this, Lin Yi felt helpless.
I just thought of a way and ended up working for the Empress for nothing.
"Your Majesty, do you mean that these things don't cost me money?"
Lin Yi thought, it would be fine if he worked for free, but if he had to pay for it himself, it would be a huge loss.
And the funds for building the community were evenly distributed among Huangfu Qingling and the Liangzhou government!
"No, this is Dayong's business, you don't need to spend money."
Huangfu Qingling nodded slightly, which was considered to give him some convenience.
After all, the purpose of Lin Yi's spending money is very clear, even if he really spends too much, it will be recorded truthfully.
Just then, a man who looked like a soldier knocked on the door and came in to report.
"The Emperor of Yan is dead!"
