Nanchuan Province is located at a high latitude. The cold air from the northern ice sheet crosses the Black Mountains and makes it extremely cold here. Even the Sanggan River solidifies into a two-meter-thick ice layer.&1t;/p>

The implementation of the labor-for-relief plan proposed by Lin Chuan has been several months old. [31 Novel Network    ]. Millions of refugees have survived the most difficult time. By participating in the construction of straight roads and irrigation canals, they can not only obtain food that will last their lives, but also get a small amount of wages. This is a great gift for them who are hungry and cold.&1t;/p>

After Lin Chuan's wedding, he did not stay in Wang Jingduo too much, but soon returned to the construction site. He handed over the construction of the straight road to Huang Xingchu, the chief officer of the UNHCR, and he followed the Nanchuan generals to Nanchuan Province to preside over the excavation of the irrigation canal.&1t;/p>

As a project that benefits the people, as long as the construction is completed, the water of the Sanggan River can be diverted to five or six provinces in the north, changing the water shortage and fundamentally changing the situation of relying on the weather to make a living. Therefore, Lin Chuan attaches great importance to it.&1t;/p>

During the preliminary preparations for excavation, more than 100 miles of irrigation canals have been dug in Nanchuan Province. As the weather became colder, the excavation work also slowed down.&1t;/p>

"One two, one two,..." Although the wind was cold, the excavated construction site was still very enthusiastic about the work. The refugees were very enthusiastic about work. Before Lin Chuan's inspection was approaching, he could hear loud trumpets from afar.&1t;/p>

The project of excavation canals still adopts the method of group contracting. Each group is responsible for a distance, commends and food distribution according to the quality and degree of completion of tasks. This system not only improves the quality of work, but also improves the efficiency of work, avoiding the occurrence of cheating.&1t;/p>

Lin Chuan was quite satisfied with the busy construction site. According to this progress, the entire irrigation canal can be completed in just one year.&1t;/p>

"The weather is cold now, so you must prepare enough clothes for the refugees to keep them cold, and you must take care of enough food." Lin Chuan ordered the responsible Nanchuan official Jia Hong.&1t;/p>

Jia Hong was originally the consul of Aokichuan, Nanchuan Province. He was down-to-earth and smart and capable. For such a pragmatic official, Lin Chuan naturally would not let him work at a free job, so he was transferred to his own command. Before Lin Chuan came, he was responsible for the excavation of irrigation canals.&1t;/p>

Jia Hong said, "General, don't worry, I'll save all these. After all, I have been a refugee and will not treat them badly."&1t;/p>

Hearing Jia Hong's promise, Lin Chuan felt relieved. Most of the officials in Nanchuan Province were promoted from the grassroots level when the Nanchuan Army was in charge of the administration, and he could trust it.&1t;/p>

"General, after the beginning of spring, a large number of refugees will return to their hometowns to farm. Our staff will be insufficient at that time, and I am afraid that the progress of the project will be reflected." Jia Hong also raised the difficulties encountered in the excavation process of irrigation canals.&1t;/p>

Lin Chuan nodded in agreement when he heard Jia Hong say this, "This is a problem."&1t;/p>

After all, these refugees fled during wars. Now the situation in the dynasty is gradually stabilizing. With the beginning of spring, we will definitely return to our hometown to rebuild our homes and cultivate them. In this way, the work of digging the canal will definitely stagnate.&1t;/p>

"In this way, let me go back and think of a solution." Lin Chuan said after thinking for a moment.&1t;/p>

Jia Hong pondered for a moment and said, "General, we have a way to solve it, but we don't know if it's right."&1t;/p>

"Okay, Jia Hong, you actually kept me insincere." Lin Chuan reacted and joked with a smile.&1t;/p>

Lin Chuan stopped, looked back at Jia Hong and said, "Tell me, what are you doing?"&1t;/p>

Jia Hong bowed slightly and said, "General, many nobles in the northern provinces were arrested for violating the law and were killed. Many slaves in the noble family were rescued. I want to recruit these slaves to work for us."&1t;/p>

Jia Hong was afraid that Lin Chuan would not agree to continue to add: "These slaves are all strong men and have good physical strength. Besides, they were originally slaves and had no land to cultivate. We recruited them to use them like refugees, and there would be no additional expenses."&1t;/p>

Hearing Jia Hong say this, Lin Chuan's eyes lit up. This is indeed a good idea, but Lin Chuan is considering more comprehensively.&1t;/p>

"I will inform the governors of various northern provinces in the name of the imperial envoy, asking them to cooperate with you, and you can do it even if you do it. However, for these recruited slaves, we can no longer treat them as slaves. We must increase their treatment and tell them that as long as we sign a two-year contract and the canal is built, they can obtain a twenty acres of land in our Nanchuan Province, which will also solve their worries."&1t;/p>

"It's better for the general to think carefully." Jia Hong calmly slapped Lin Chuan's flattery.&1t;/p>

With Jia Hong's company, Lin Chuan inspected the construction progress of the entire irrigation canal and checked the living conditions and dietary weight of the refugees.&1t;/p>

Lin Chuan, who lives in residential houses, put forward his own rectification opinions: "The residential areas must be planned reasonably, and they are clearly distinguished from each other like military camps. They cannot be built so randomly. Now it is cold and it is easy to cause fires when making fires at night."&1t;/p>

Lin Chuan then inspected the food of the refugees. After all, digging the canal is physical labor. If the nutrition cannot keep up, it will greatly affect the work efficiency.&1t;/p>

However, Jia Hong did a good job in this regard. In addition to three black-fried steamed buns, each refugee has a large bowl of hot and thick porridge. In addition, there will be a supply of vegetables and meat every three days. This is free, and many civilians cannot eat this well. This is already very happy for refugees.&1t;/p>

All these vegetables and meat are provided by farms established in Nanchuan Province. These farms are run by veterans of the Nanchuan Army. Jia Hong sent people to purchase their agricultural products, which improved and improved the living standards of the veterans to a certain extent. This is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.&1t;/p>

Lin Chuan braved the wind and snow to visit the refugees who dug the canal, which caused a great sensation among the refugees. It was Lin Chuan's plan to use labor for relief that allowed them to starve to death outside Wangjing City. Although they need work now, they have at least food, living, and wages. For refugees who were originally struggling on the line of life and death, Lin Chuan is their benefactor.&1t;/p>

"Mr. Lin, it's Master Lin!" Seeing Lin Chuan patrolling with Jia Hong, a sharp-eyed refugee recognized Lin Chuan.&1t;/p>

After all, when recruiting refugees under Wangjing City, Lin Chuan was present in person when announcing the plan. Many people will never forget Lin Chuan's life.&1t;/p>

The news of Lin Chuan's arrival spread to him all the time, and soon the entire construction site was in full bloom. The refugees stopped their friends, looked at Lin Chuan, and shouted excitedly.&1t;/p>

Seeing the refugees so excited, Jia Hong, who was in charge of this place, was deeply moved. His general was really popular with the people.&1t;/p>

"Master Lin, it's really Master Lin." A white old man walked up tremblingly and saw Lin Chuan's gentle little face, and burst into tears in his eyes.&1t;/p>

"Benefactor, Lord Lin." The old man actually knelt on the ground.&1t;/p>

"Thank you for your life-saving grace-" As the old man knelt down, the entire construction site fell to his knees, and everyone knelt down and thanked loudly, which caught Lin Chuan off guard.&1t;/p>

Lin Chuan hurriedly stepped forward and helped the old man up: "Old man, please get up quickly. What kind of virtue is Lin Chuan? I can't stand your knees."&1t;/p>

The old man burst into tears: "Okay, be it, if it weren't for Lord Lin, my two grandsons would have starved to death. We are not ungrateful people, and we will never forget Lord Lin's great kindness."&1t;/p>

"Get up quickly, the ground is cold." Lin Chuan hurriedly spoke to the refugees who were kneeling down.&1t;/p>

Although the refugees stood up, it was difficult to hide their gratitude to Lin Chuan. Lin Chuan felt deeply moved. He had just done something within his ability and was loved by the people so much. The working people's going to be so cheap, but they just wanted a safe and stable life. This also strengthened Lin Chuan's determination to improve people's livelihood and that the people of the entire dynasty must live a happy and healthy life.&1t;/p>

The old man did not do physical work like the rest of the people, but helped cook, wash and watch the camp with those women. For such an arrangement, Lin Chuan couldn't help but look up to the management official Jia Hong.&1t;/p>
