Turning his eyes to the river outside the window, the middle-aged man sighed and said slowly: "The second brother said something, but the problem is that the Lord Highness abandoned our ship gang first, not that we betrayed him first. Since he can abandon our interests, it means that he no longer put our ship gang in the position of a family, so we can naturally find another way out. As for the alliance, we don't have to cut off contacts all at once and deal with it perfunctorily. After the Heshuo chaos, it will be a matter of time before the Taiping Cult collapse. The people can't even eat. Who cares about what you teach? I can assert that the master of Heshuo must be Li Wufeng in the northwest. Looking at the empire, only Li Wufeng is qualified to become Heshuo's new master. So we must board the northwest line, and the sooner the better."

The little man frowned slightly when he heard his elder brother say this, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, with our embarrassing identity now, the other party may not be willing to believe in our sincerity. Even if we believe in our sincerity, what else can we deserve to accept us?"

"Hehe, second brother, you are too arrogant. Not to mention that more than a thousand people in our boat gang are all good players on the waterway. Li Wufeng is ambitious. He will also need good players on the waterway to help him in the future. We are his best helper in this regard. Jinzhong is our base and we have a strong foundation in Jinzhong. Once the Taiping Cult collapses, he will definitely take the opportunity to advance to Heshuo. We can be the pawns and his vanguard. Then his actions in Jinzhong and Hejian will be much smoother. If the person who came today is a smart person, I believe he will make the right choice." The middle-aged man showed a confident look on his face and said calmly.

When the knock on the door of "tuk tuk" finally rang outside the door, the four people in the room exchanged glances. The young man calmed down with the middle-aged man's eyes and asked, "Who?"

"Guest." A calm voice sounded outside the door, and it could be heard that the other party was not very old.

"Oh? What guest? We did not invite guests." The young man replied as agreed.

"That's a partner." The person outside the door said slowly.

The code finally met, and everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief. What was time to come was finally here and it was time to unveil.

Just as the contact in the imperial capital was proceeding step by step, someone who was bragged about by the dye merchants and the boat men had an unparalleled face, and he walked back and forth in the room like an angry lion.

"Nick, you are cruel enough! I, Li Wufeng, have seen it!" While muttering to myself, Li Wufeng was circling around the room with his hands on his back, "Damn it, Kaman, one day, I will make you pay the price!"

"Sir, what should we do now? The Kamans' move is indeed sinister. Now refugees in Longquan Heishan are rushing around. There must be plague patients among them. Hejian, like Jinzhong, has already been shaky. Now, when they are hit by these hundreds of thousands of refugees, I am afraid that the rule of Taiping Cult will collapse immediately. If the refugees from these two places join in, there are a lot of—" Xiao Tang took a breath. There are nearly two million refugees. No matter where this wave of refugees rushed over, I am afraid that wherever they will suddenly become messy and completely paralyzed.

"What should I do? The plague has appeared in Heishan and Longquan. Although we have sufficient food to store, once the plague is transmitted, it is not a joke. With the current health and medical conditions in our northwest, we may not be able to control it." Wufeng's forehead also wrinkled tightly. The plague cannot be controlled by human resources. Once it is transmitted, this kind of summer weather is very easy to spread, and if it is not done well, it will affect the entire Kansai.

"But sir, we may not be able to block this. More than one million refugees poured into Hejian and Jinzhong from Longquan in Heshan, and wrapped them with the refugees in Jinzhong in Hejian. The number was at least close to three million. Even though most of them fled east and south, it is estimated that at least more than 300,000 people came to Tianshui. How can we block it?" Xiao Tang asked with a calm face.

After breathing a long breath, Wufeng also knew that it would be impossible to block the border. If he had to force the army to block the border, it would not only not be possible, but he would probably have the same reputation as the Kamans, which was something he could not accept.

"Xiao Tang, it seems that we can only take risks. We will draw a group of doctors from all over the country, concentrate them in Tianshui, set up an isolation belt in Tianshui, and establish a refugee camp. Refugees from the east must stay in the refugee camp for a period of time. After inspection and observation, there will be no plague to enter the areas west of Tianshui and Tianshui. The Department of Culture, Education, Health and the War Readiness Administration will prepare more medicinal materials to prevent the spread of the plague. Whenever there are plague patients, they will be isolated and treated immediately. At the same time, the grain from Kansai is transported to Tianshui to ensure the food supply of refugees." Wufeng finally made a difficult decision.

"Sir, we will bear too much pressure and it is extremely risky. Once this news spreads, I am afraid that all refugees will come to us differently, and then we will not be able to bear it at that time." Xiao Tang said with a hidden worry.

"If you can't accept it, you have to accept it. If we keep them out, all our previous efforts will be in vain, and we will not be able to bear such losses." Wufeng said firmly, "This is the reason why I had to stockpile a large amount of food at the beginning. Now it's time to play the role of these foods."

Using food to exchange people's hearts was originally the main intention and purpose of Wufeng to buy and hoard food. When a steady stream of food flowed from his hands to the desperate hungry people, his prestige would rise to a position that no one could replace. The reputation exchanged for food would far exceed the honors obtained by any other means. This is something Wufeng is sure of.

"Mr. Xiao, in fact, the arrival of these refugees is not completely useless. We might as well arrange these hundreds of thousands of refugees according to our own intentions. Sometimes bad things can turn into good things." Ling Tianfang continued the words and suggested.

"Oh? Brother Ling means to immigrate these hungry people? Northern Luzon or Myanmar?" As the Director of Government Affairs, Xiao Tang is naturally very sensitive to the other party's words, and he can understand the elegant meaning when he hears the string songs.

"Yes. However, I suggest that you might as well select strong men from this group of refugees to form a reserve army of two to three divisions. As the reserve army of Beiyuan and Heshuo areas in the future, the remaining refugees moved to Myanmar and Northern Luzon in batches after confirming that they were not infected with the plague, providing more cheap labor for the development of Northern Luzon and Myanmar. This can not only avoid the hidden dangers brought by refugees, but also promote the development of these two places, killing two birds with one stone." As the leader of military affairs, Ling Tianfang first considered the military aspect, and then took into account civil affairs.

As the Director of Government Affairs, Xiao Tang certainly could not have considered immigration. As Wufeng said, maybe food is not a big problem, but hundreds of thousands of refugees, especially those who come to Zizi's plague areas, are not a joke. Whether from Tianshui to Northern Luzon or to Myanmar, they will pass through multiple prefectures and counties. Once the refugees are infected with the plague, the plague will spread to the county government where they pass. The consequences of this can be imagined. As the Director of Government Affairs, he must first consider the possibility of hidden dangers.

"Brother Ling, the military expansion is military affairs, and I have no right to inquire about it, but I have to transfer these hundreds of thousands of people from Heshuo to Northern Luzon and Myanmar. The climate is hot and hot now, and it is the peak season for the spread of the plague. These refugees are coming to the epidemic area. How can we prevent it? If the plague spreads on the way, who can bear this responsibility?" Xiao Tang raised a stern question.

The question raised by Xiao Tang immediately made Wufeng and Ling Tianfang silence. This is indeed a question worthy of careful consideration. If these refugees are allowed to transit through the border, it will inevitably arouse strong opposition from the local people, and may even endanger Wufeng's stable rule established throughout the Northwest. After all, the plague is uncontrollable and will kill people. No one can maintain his rationality in the face of death.

"Xiao Tang, can't our health department ensure that the plague does not spread?" Wu Feng asked in a deep voice.

"Sir, I'm afraid we don't have enough ability to do this now. If we only use passengers who pass through the border according to ordinary traffic, we can do it naturally, but with such a large abortion and it's summer vacation, I think we are not sure." Xiao Tang answered decisively.

The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became cold, and Ling Tianfang didn't dare to say anything more about this issue. After all, no one can resist the plague. If there is really a plague epidemic in the prefectures along the way because of immigration, then no one can bear the responsibility.

With a long sigh, Wufeng did not dare to make a decision immediately. This is even more difficult to make a decision than a major battle. The plague is not an enemy. It is full of uncertainty and has a certain period of incubation. It is probably too late to break out when it breaks out. However, these refugees cannot be blocked. Putting them temporarily in Tianshui is not a long-term solution. More and more refugees will come. Once they lose control, the consequences will be unimaginable. Those refugees cannot stay in the refugee camp honestly. If someone sneaks into other unprepared prefectures in the northwest, the danger will be greater.
