Chapter 631 Reconstruction of Henan

Gao Huan sold treasury bonds in Jiangnan, and the short-term bonds of 200,000 taels were sold out by supporters as soon as they were launched.

Gao Huan restricts each person from buying up to 10,000 taels, which makes people feel that the government bonds are relatively in short supply, and the 200,000 silver dollars will be issued soon.

However, Gao Huan did not strike while the iron is hot, but waited for the short-term bond to repay the principal and interest to the people, which caused heated discussions before forwarding the long-term bond.

At this time, after the conference ended, several new political parties took office and the issuance of bonds would gradually get on track. Liang's first five-year plan could be gradually implemented.

But what is unexpected is that the refugee problem that I originally thought was the easiest to solve had been constantly problems shortly after the beginning.

Chenliu County, Kaifeng, Henan.

Since the end of Chongzhen, Henan has suffered many disasters, with natural disasters and wars coming.

The Central Plains, especially Kaifeng Prefecture, was originally a wealthy place and was known as Bianzhou as the best in the world.

But three years ago, the Qing army dug out the Yellow River and irrigated the water to Kaifeng. The entire eastern Henan plain turned into a marina, and hundreds of miles of radius became a barren area.

After Li Yan blocked the gap in the Yellow River, the Yellow River stopped flooding, and the Liang State returned to relocate some of its population.

The people began to rebuild their homes in the ruins. Just as they improved a little, Duoduo entered Henan again, burned down the houses of the people and plundered the food of the people, so that the people could only leave their hometowns and flee again.

At this time, in Chenliu County, Sun Kewang was handling official documents.

Sun Kewang surrendered in Xiancheng and surrendered to Liang State. After thinking about it for a while, Gao Huan did not put Sun Kewang under house arrest, but decided to give Sun Kewang a chance.

After all, Gao Huan's ambitions not only unify China, but also spread Chinese civilization and culture, compete with the rising Western barbarian robber culture, help people of all ethnic groups overseas to resist the invasion of colonists, and become a responsible major power.

In the next few hundred years, it will be a confrontation between two different civilizations. If it fails, China will hand over its position as the center of the world, and in the future, Europa will become the mainstream civilization in the world.

Now that the West is rising and the East is declining, the trend has been formed.

The footnotes of Western colonists have reached almost every corner of the world, but the Chinese cultural circle is shrinking instead.

If Gao Huan wants to reverse this trend, he will definitely not be able to rely on himself alone, and he needs the assistance of talents.

The world at present is just like the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. After decades of fighting, heroes fell one after another, and the talents in the world were withered, and it was the post-Three Kingdoms era.

Compared with the heroes who competed with each other, Liao Hua was already the pioneer of Shu Kingdom.

Looking at the world today, it is already difficult to describe a few talents who can leave their names in history.

Although Gao Huan knew that Sun Kewang was difficult to control, he was rare, so Gao Huan liked the fierce horses, so he decided to give it a try.

I hope Sun Kewang can not only help him unify the world, but also make contributions to the future fight against Western barbarians and develop overseas contributions.

However, although Gao Huan planned to use Sun Kewang, he did not give Sun Kewang a high position, but only gave him a magistrate.

This is because Gao Huan recruited surrender for the first time, but Sun Kewang did not surrender. The second time Zhang Xianzhong was defeated, Sun Kewang took the initiative to surrender.

If Gao Huan gave him a too high position, he would undoubtedly give other enemies a bad demonstration. He felt that he could fight first when he met Liang's army, but he could not defeat him before surrendering.

Now, from the time of political discussion to the county magistrate, there is a huge gap, so people can feel the difference between first and then lower.

In addition, Sun Kewang's identity is relatively sensitive, and the gentry and merchants in Jiangnan were aware of the policies he implemented in the Western countries.

During Gao Huan's expedition to the west, the gentry and merchants in Jiangnan strongly supported him because he was afraid that the Western army would attack Jiangnan.

If Gao Huan gave Sun Kewang a high position, then the gentry and merchants in Jiangnan would definitely be panicked.

Finally, Gao Huan wanted to test Sun Kewang and see his abilities.

Now Sun Kewang is the magistrate of Chenliu County, Liang State, and is responsible for presiding over the issue of refugee relocation and resettlement.

It is said to be the magistrate of Chenliu County, but now there is nothing.

The county town was soaked in floods three years ago, and the houses in the city were washed away, and the county town had long been ruined.

Now the county government office is a tent with a plaque erected outside, and the conditions are extremely difficult.

"Master!" The curtain of the tent was suddenly lifted open, and a head-in-chief broke in, "No, the people who were placed in Tangzhuang ran away!"

The captain's name is Zhou Ming, who is strong and was a refugee not long ago.

Gao Huan only gave Sun Kewang a letter of appointment, thirty soldiers, 20,000 taels of silver, and 15,000 shi of grain, so Sun Kewang rebuilt Chenliu County.

This is not because Gao Huan intended to make things difficult for Sun Kewang, but because the Liang Kingdom is indeed in a difficult situation now. Gao Huan was forced to sacrifice his sexual intercourse and personally sell the government bonds, so the reconstruction money, grain and materials given to each county are very limited.

This time, in addition to Sun Kewang, there were also several officials including Xia Wanchun and Zhang Huangyan, who also served as magistrates in Qi County, Zhongmu and other places to deal with the people who relocated and accept the task of rebuilding the county.

These people were appointed intentionally by Gao Huan, with the purpose of seeing their abilities and letting them lead a county to compete and see who did the best in the end and then they could advance first.

This is also the idea of ​​Gao Huan to promote officials in the future. He was to find a few officials to compete with each other. Whoever built the prefectures and counties under his rule would be promoted. The cranes or officials who failed in governance and construction would be brushed down.

After hearing Zhou Ming's words, Sun Kewang quickly put down his brush and stood up: "When did you run away? Have you sent someone to chase him?"

In fact, Sun Kewang also wanted to escape. He was a prince of the Western Kingdom and helped Zhang Xianzhong take charge of the internal affairs of the Western Kingdom, but Gao Huan only let him be a county magistrate, which was an insult to him.

Therefore, Sun Kewang really wanted to find an opportunity to escape from Liang State and return to the Western State, but the thirty soldiers sent by Gao Huan were divided into three squads, unswervingly protecting his safety.

Zhou Ming said: "At noon, County Magistrate Wang found out that he has gone to chase him now!"

Sun Kewang felt a little anxious when he heard this. He knew that Gao Huan's meaning was that Gao Huan could handle the return of refugees and rebuild Chenliu County.

Although Sun Kewang wants to run away now, he can't escape.

Since this is the case, Sun Kewang decided to do what Gao Huan had given him well, and at the same time, he wanted to let everyone in Liang State see his strength.

Now, no problem has been heard from several nearby counties, but some people in Chenliu County have run away. Isn’t this dragging him down?

"Let's go! Take me to see!" Sun Kewang put on a black hat and walked out while instructing.

Sun Ke saw out of the tent and led his soldiers to the south. He arrived at Tangzhuang soon after.

This place is also a ruin, and you can see on the ground, the ashes left by the house burned by the Qing army a few months ago, as well as the corpses with only white bones left.

Fifty households of villagers were originally placed here, but by then Sun Kewang had already run away, with only some elderly people left.

If the resettled refugees run back, it will undoubtedly make people question Sun Kewang's ability.

"Greetings to the master!" A group of old men were called by the head of the arresting team to ask about the situation. When they saw Sun Kewang, they quickly saluted.

Sun Kewang helped the old man up and asked with a smile: "Brother-in-law, why did those villagers leave you and run away?"

After hearing this, the old man in charge hurriedly said, "Master, don't blame the children. The house here is destroyed and it is still close to Hebei. Jiannu came over and we were old bones. We died if we died. But the children are still young and have to continue to live. We have to leave the queen for our old Tang family!"

Sun Kewang couldn't help frowning after hearing the old man's words.
