The implementation of the labor-for-relief method, as Liu Yi expected, encountered a lot of resistance in the early stage.

After all, in nearly half a month, people have become accustomed to the Mocheng government meeting their needs almost unconditionally. They have entered a comfort zone, and the inertia in their bodies has been completely released with this bottomless compromise. At this time, they will tell them to work to exchange for food, and the house they live in is only given to them temporarily. Whether they can get it forever in the future depends on their attitude.

As soon as the list was released, the newly joined refugees in the city became dissatisfied and exclaimed.

"Don't worry about them. Those who are willing to work will be paid immediately, and they can even give them some wages. Those who are unwilling to work can only drink porridge." As Liu Yi had expected that the city had insufficient staff, but he had to straighten the order in Mocheng before the next batch of refugees came back.

"Here!" The little official in charge of coordinating materials agreed upon hearing this, turned around and went to execute the order.

"Bo Yuan, they won't rebel, are they?" Wei Yue was a little worried, feeling that facing these refugees was more tired than facing thousands of troops.

"It may be possible to cause trouble, but what if you say rebellion?" Liu Yi looked at Wei Yue and smiled: "People are uneven and no one can coordinate. How to rebel? What you have to do now is to kill the person who takes the lead in causing trouble immediately, and you must not be unbearable at all."

"Don't worry, I've given the order." Wei Yue nodded. They were all bandits from the grass-roots. If you really want to make up, they were all murderers without blinking.

Although he was still a little worried, Wei Yue finally conveyed Liu Yi's orders.

The chaos in the city did not improve. Instead, the whole city of Mo was in a mess for a day, and this situation reached its maximum until the food was distributed in the evening.

After all, not everyone is willing to go against others, and they are willing to accept arrangements. There are also many people going to work. These people obtained abundant food based on their labor in the evening, and some even obtained wages. These people began to spontaneously maintain the rules of Mocheng. Others drink porridge, but they have noodles, eggs and some vegetable porridge. As soon as the most intuitive gap in food came out, the stimulation of the superiority in their hearts began to spontaneously maintain the order of Mocheng and persuade those who were unwilling to accept it.

As for the effect...

Nowadays, there are quarrels and fights in the city that can be heard even when sitting in the yamen office.

"Boyuan, this..." Liu Yi was carving wood carvings there calmly, and occasionally processing some files. Today, he posted the list and distributed food, and Liu Yi also asked someone to start establishing a household registration. Most of the problems are now here.

"This is often the same as marching and fighting. We are the lords of Mo City. Others can be confused, but we cannot be confused. Once we are in chaos, everything will be stopped. Let's wait for tomorrow. As long as they don't really join forces to fight, Mo City will not be in chaos." Liu Yi looked confident, but in fact, he had no idea. After all, this was different from when he dealt with thousands of people before. At that time, most of the people came by themselves or followed them. He handled such a thing as the first time that the big girl was in the sedan chair. It was a lie to say that she was not nervous, but as he said, now he must be calm before he could infect Wei Yue, and pass on this calm attitude one by one.

Otherwise, as the lord of Mo City, he would be in chaos, and it is really hard to say what the people below would do.

When Wei Yue heard this, he admired Liu Yi's determination. In fact, if this was really a war, he would not be anxious. It was just that the uncertainty about the future made him anxious now.

"It takes more work." Liu Yi shook his head and said, "The woods in this area cannot be cut down. Now that I have sufficient staff, I plan to organize people to go to Tianmen Mountain to find some good trees to cut down, make them into wood, and also make them a market town here."

Liu Yi said, taking out the drawings he had made to show to Wei Yue, which could be considered as discord.

Although the concept of environmental protection in ancient times is not as clear as modern, there are actually relevant regulations. It is not that you just cut down directly if you like a forest, especially for large-scale logging.

At present, the population of Mocheng will follow Cao's army south and enter a stage of blow-out growth. Since there is no suitable talent, Liu Yi is preparing to take charge of Mocheng himself to make further plans. The city's facilities have been built, and the next step is to build roads.

Although Mocheng was established at the convergence of the Sanjiang River and developed waterways, it does not mean that land is not needed. At least there must be a main road that can connect with the post road. As for the others, it is not necessary for the time being.

The two of them discussed until it was completely dark. In fact, it was Liu Yi who was saying that Wei Yue was listening, and the opinions were not possible for Wei Yue, a rough man. He just felt that when he heard Liu Yi say this, he could have a little more confident after seeing Liu Yi's confident look. In fact, he didn't realize that Liu Yi was actually trying to calm down.

That night, Liu Yi had insomnia. As for Wei Yue, he had been insomnia from the beginning, and now his eyes are almost like rabbits.

Waiting for such things will not cause anxiety. The reason for anxiety is that it is uncertain about the future of things. After all, Liu Yi only handled this kind of thing for the first time based on some information he knew. As for what will happen to the end of the development, Liu Yi doesn't know.

The new day began with Liu Yi staring at the yamen office with some red eyes. Wei Yue was a little surprised why Liu Yi's face was so bad, but looking at Liu Yi's appearance, he didn't ask much.

The plan for labor-for-relief continued. Although it was still very chaotic the next day, it was obvious that the resistance was being reduced. After the statistics of work data in the evening, Liu Yi's heart, which had been hanging around, finally fell back into his stomach.

At least according to the data, compared with the first day, the number of people who agreed to exchange labor for food according to the rules set by Mocheng has increased by about 30%. Although some people were killed for causing trouble, it was half less than yesterday. Next, as long as we continue to do this at this rate, I believe that when the next batch of refugees are sent, Mocheng can restore temporary stability.
