Chapter 181 Accepting Refugees Again
"We've met once, just a few days ago, the lady almost shot me an arrow."
Chen Yang didn't expect that she was still from Mi Zhu, and this would be the way they met for the second time.
After hearing Chen Yang's words, the woman hurriedly got up and said, "I was hunting at that time, but I didn't notice that the general was passing by, and almost accidentally injured the general. I also asked the general to punish him!"
She was the one who followed Mi Zhu, and at this time, she naturally knew Chen Yang's identity.
Thinking of the misunderstanding that day, the woman was unsure of it, worried that Chen Yang would treat him because of that incident.
"It turns out that the person Zhen'er almost accidentally injured that day was Zi'an!"
The woman also mentioned this matter to Mi Zhu, and he said, "Zi'an, I apologize to you first here. It was just a misunderstanding at that time, and it was not something that Zhen'er intended."
Chen Yang didn't take it seriously and shook his head and said, "If I want to care, you no longer have the chance to face me."
Upon hearing this, Mi Zhu and the woman finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Chen Yang did not hold a grudge.
"You come to me, is there anything wrong?" Chen Yang said again.
"I'm here to say goodbye this time. The end of the year is approaching, and there is still something waiting for me to go back to deal with in Xuzhou, but before I go back, I will leave Zhen'er in Xudu."
Speaking of this, Mi Zhu said again: "My sister is named Mi Zhen. I will leave it to Zhen'er for selling salt in the future. Do you think it's OK, Zi'an?"
After hearing this, the woman named Mi Zhen gave a slight salute in front of Chen Yang.
Moe Zhen!
Mi Zhu’s sister!
Isn’t this Liu Bei’s wife Mi?
Chen Yang has known Mrs. Gan for so long, but he has never met Mrs. Mi.
Therefore, Chen Yang was very curious about where Mrs. Mi was and how she looked, but he didn't expect Mrs. Mi to appear at this time. It seemed that she had not married Liu Bei yet.
These thoughts flashed through Chen Yang's mind. Of course, he would not ask randomly and nodded, "Of course, I will not ask about your family affairs at will."
Mi Zhu said: "There is another thing. I have to thank Zi'an for allowing our Mi family to directly participate in selling salt."
What he said was the matter of letting Mi Zhu take their place after Jia Xu and Ni Heng left.
"I can trust your Moe family!"
Chen Yang can indeed trust them, because salt is now considered the lifeblood of Xu Du's economy. If it weren't for trust, they would not have joined.
"Zi'an, thank you!"
Mi Zhu said gratefully.
Next, the two of them politely said a few more words, and Mi Zhu said goodbye and left first.
Walking outside Chen's mansion, Mi Zhu said, "Zheng'er, what do you think of Chen Zi'an?"
At this time, a bit of complexity appeared on Mi Zhen's cheek, which was expressionless. She only thought about it for a while and said, "I can't see through him."
Mi Zhu said seriously: "It is normal that you can't see through it, because he is not simple, he can be literary and martial, and is almost omnipotent. If possible, you can get closer to him during Xu Du during this period, which will be beneficial to you and our Mi family."
"Brother, do you want strange goods to be accustomed?" Mi Zhen asked.
"No, you must not think so, otherwise it will cause us trouble. Our relationship with him is not to use it, but to cooperate with each other."
Mi Zhu thought for a while and said, "His future achievements will never stop here. Prime Minister Cao has his support, and I am afraid that the world will be in his pocket. Let's say that, it is not an exaggeration to compare him to Zhang Zifang in the early Han Dynasty."
After hearing this, Mi Zhu nodded solemnly.
Chen Yang didn't know that Mi Zhu and his sister also compared themselves to Zhang Liang. After he sent the person away, he was idle at home again.
However, whenever he was idle and had nothing to do, Cao Ang would come to him.
"Zi'an, Lord Man has something to discuss with us."
Cao Ang braved the wind and snow and walked into the Chen Mansion, and he said again: "Now there are another group of refugees gathered outside the city. Man Man hopes that we can take some of them and help him relieve the pressure."
Chen Yang did not refuse and nodded, "At the beginning of the spring of next year, we will fight with Yuan Shao, and our factory also needs to increase manpower production weapons. Let's go and take a look and choose a group of suitable refugees to go back."
After a long time, Chen Yang arrived near the gate of the south of Xudu City.
Man Chong built a row of simple straw sheds here. As a temporary resettlement site for refugees, nearly 10,000 refugees have been placed inside.
To prevent them from causing trouble in Xudu, Man Chong also arranged thousands of soldiers to guard nearby.
After seeing Chen Yang coming, Man Chong hurriedly walked towards him and said, "Zi'an, you're here. After the snow, there are more and more refugees. Xu Duling is already too busy. I will depend on you next."
"Mr. Man, I can only take away two thousand people at most. No matter how many I have, I can do nothing."
Chen Yang walked to the straw shed and felt the wind and snow beside him was a little heavy, so he tightened his cotton coat.
In contrast, those refugees could only stay in the straw shed to temporarily hide from the wind and snow, but could not effectively keep the cold. When they saw Chen Yang's warm cotton coat, they all showed envious expressions.
Most of these people were wearing simple clothes, and some even didn't even have complete clothes to protect the cold, which made Chen Yang sigh that this troubled time was really miserable.
Coupled with the spring drought at the beginning of the year, the lives of these refugees were more difficult than before.
"I should promote cotton as soon as possible, and strive to make it possible for ordinary people to wear cotton clothes to keep warm in a few years!" Chen Yang thought to himself.
"If you can take two thousand people away, my pressure will be greatly reduced. Who are you going to want?" Man Chong said.
Chen Yang looked over at first sight and said, "The elderly, young, women, children, and the sick are preferred, and then to the young and strong men."
In such cold weather, people with poor physical condition may be cold to death before entering Xudu City Gate.
Therefore, there are not many elderly, young, women and children among the refugees, and Chen Yang can accept them all.
Young and strong men are the most important labor force in Chen Yang's factory, so they are naturally indispensable.
"I'm so kind!"
Man Chong thought Chen Yang would only take away young and strong men, and he didn't expect Chen Yang to be like this.
More than half an hour later, two thousand people were selected by Man Chong.
"Xiao Cao, please help me notify Yuanhua and ask him to wait for me in the factory first. The others will join me to escort the group of refugees to the factory." Chen Yang said.
It wasted nearly an hour for Chen Yang to bring these people from the city to the factory.
After arriving at the factory, Chen Yang said again: "Ye Shun, you free up your free dormitory, first place them, then prepare clothes for cold protection, and also instruct others to prepare hot food."
"yes!"
Ye Shun went to make arrangements immediately.
At this time, Hua Tuo had already arrived at the factory, and Chen Yang asked him to treat the sick refugees.
The group of refugees were already very frightened, worried that Chen Yang would take them to a very bad place.
When they arrived at the factory and placed it, they realized that they had thought it was wrong.
Here, we can not only hide from the wind and snow, but also eat and wear, and even have people to treat them.
After receiving various benefits from Chen Yang, all these refugees were grateful to him.
After seeing the refugees settled down, Chen Yang said, "Ye Shun, go and count the number of children and let them study in private schools first. If you are unwilling to study or cannot learn well, you should send them to Yuanhua Medical College to study medicine."
After listening to Chen Yang's order, Ye Shun hurriedly went to arrange the work again.
Finally, Chen Yang looked at the current scale of the factory and murmured: "The factory area will be expanded next year, otherwise there will be no more people."
At the same time, he was thinking that if he could, he could find another new salt mine to develop.
However, what Chen Yang could not have imagined was that among this group of refugees, more than ten people were looking at the salt production factories and weapons factories.
