Many times, people are like this, without pressure, there is no motivation.

If you don’t have to think about anything, you can live a life of food and clothing without worrying about it, and how many people are willing to work hard and rack their brains to make money.

Zhu Qizhuo didn’t understand this truth, but he didn’t need to do this when there were not many refugees in the past.

It's different now. He has more and more refugees under his command, so many that he is a little overwhelmed. Naturally, he can no longer act as a bad person and feed so many refugees in vain.

After he returned to the palace for a few days of rest, he recruited Bi Maokang, Zhao Zhengdao, Sun Jiwen, Sun Hongliang, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Tiezhu and others to the lobby of the main hall and started discussing.

After everyone gathered together, he said bluntly: "Everyone, you should all know that the refugees we have now taken in more than 800,000 refugees, and the food and clothing of these refugees are provided for free. So many refugees will consume 70,000 to 800,000 stones in a month. Most of our income is used to support these refugees. If we only have this expenditure, we can barely withstand the problem. We have to support 40,000 troops and 10,000 secret guards. Moreover, refugees in the northwest are still rushing to Yunyang. In the long run, we will definitely not be able to make ends meet. Therefore, we have to change it and can no longer provide these refugees with food and clothing for free, and we have to let them make money to support themselves."

When Bi Maokang, Zhao Zhengdao, Sun Jiwen and others heard this, they all nodded slightly to show their agreement.

They all felt deeply the same, thinking that this would not work. If it really hit the day when it was too late to make ends meet, it would be a big trouble. Hundreds of thousands of refugees were not a joke. If they couldn't eat enough, there would be a big mess.

When Sun Hongliang, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Tiezhu and others heard this, their faces changed slightly.

They also know that feeding so many refugees in vain is not a long-term solution. The problem is that they are all refugees and have a deep understanding of life without enough food and clothing. If the little prince doesn’t provide these refugees with free food and clothing, what should they do?

A few people looked at me, and I looked at you. In the end, the oldest Sun Hongliang spoke, "Prince, can this work? The food is not cheap now, it costs several taels of silver per stone. If we don't provide them with food, can they support themselves?"

Zhu Qizhu said lightly: "You also know that there are several taels of silver and one stone of food. We give them for free. Do they know how to cherish it? You are still eating hard, eating as much as you can. Anyway, if you don't eat, you won't eat, you won't be able to afford it. In the future, we can't do this anymore, and we have to let them rely on their own. Whether they raise their own life depends on whether they work hard or not. We have not arranged a livelihood for them. Farmers, we have given them land and farm tools, and in the future we will buy potatoes from them at half the price.

As long as they work harder, they will not be a problem to support themselves. If they know how to be motivated, they will open more mountains and live a better life than they are now. As for the craftsmen, they are not in vain. We have all given remuneration. In the future, the remuneration can be increased accordingly. As long as they work hard, they can have no worries about food and clothing. There are also military households, let alone the military rewards and pensions we give are not ordinary high. As long as we are willing to work hard on the battlefield, it is no problem to make a small fortune."

Well, this is indeed.

The refugees they took in were all more able to eat than the other, and they did not feel sorry for them at all.

Alas, it is time for them to know how difficult the food is now. If these guys want to eat it like a starving ghost, the little prince will be poor by them.

Upon hearing this, Sun Hongliang nodded slightly and stopped talking.

Liu Wenxiu and Ai Tiezhu also sighed slightly and said nothing more.

The decision to reform has been passed.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Qizhe sent people to various refugee gathering sites and issued a notice announcing that it would not provide food and clothing for everyone for free in the future. At the same time, it also announced the latest purchase prices for sweet potatoes, potatoes and rabbit meat, as well as the latest rewards for craftsmen and soldiers. Farmers were encouraged to produce more, craftsmen were looking for more work, and they also actively signed up for the new army.

Once this reform measure was announced, refugees naturally couldn't help but talk.

Those who are hardworking are nothing. Anyway, they can carry sweet potatoes, potatoes, rabbits, or even goats, and pigs. As the purchase price increases, their lives can become better.

Those refugees who like to be lazy and slick or even like to get something for nothing are a little overwhelmed. If the little prince does this, wouldn’t they go hungry again?

So, some people began to complain, and some even began to incite other refugees to make trouble.

These naturally cannot escape the eyes of the Sewei.

Those who complained were all on the phone, and if there was anything good in the future, they would basically have no share.

Those who secretly incited other refugees to prepare for trouble soon disappeared and no one had seen them again.

In extraordinary times, extraordinary means must be used. If such people cannot be kept, it will be a disaster.

After some cleaning, the refugees gradually adapted to the new policy, and everyone honestly lived a life of resting at sunrise and sunset.

Of course, there is no change in Daba Mountain.

After the implementation of the new policy, more land was opened and more livestock were raised, and the output was significantly improved. The income of the royal family also increased significantly, and the money in Zhuqiu was also increased.

After some reform, Zhuqizhuo's territory was in a prosperous state, but the situation in the southwest suddenly took a sharp turn.

It turned out that Guizhou Governor Wang Sanshan fell into An Bangyan's treacherous plan!

At the beginning, An Bangyan's men seemed vulnerable. More than 100,000 chieftain coalition forces could not even defeat tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, and they would be defeated by a slight touch.

In fact, this was An Bangyan's plan to lure the enemy into depth. No matter how unbearable his men were, he would never be temporarily pieced together by tens of thousands of people without absolute advantage. The officers and soldiers without muskets were beaten to death and collapsed thousands of miles away.

Wang Sanshan was indeed paralyzed and underestimated the enemy, and led his army to advance wildly and attacked Anbangyan's nest Shuixi.

As a result, after attacking the west of the water, the food route suddenly stretched for thousands of miles. In addition, the mountains were high and dense forests were dense, and grain transportation was extremely difficult. Reinforcements from all walks of life were unwilling to follow up. The tens of thousands of officers and soldiers led by Wang Sanshan suddenly became alone.

What's even more terrifying is that the general Chen Qiyu was a false surrender, and An Bangyan saw every move of the officers and soldiers.

Wang Sanshan underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, and led his alone army into the mountains where the Yi soldiers were the best at fighting. There were also traitors around him who kept informing him, and the result was imagined.

An Bangyan seized the opportunity and took advantage of the scattered search of the officers and soldiers, surrounded the officers and soldiers, and fought wildly. Wang Sanshan heard the news and led his army to rescue him, but because of the complicated mountain road, the army ran away.
