Chapter 903: The arrival of refugees is completed)

The next morning, the first batch of refugees sent from Shanghai arrived in Jiangbei one after another.

When Zhong Yi arrived, Cao Ziying had already taken the police patrol officers from the police station to watch on various docks in Jiangbei. As soon as the ferry transporting refugees landed, police immediately stepped forward to maintain order and ensure that there would be no crowding or even stampede incidents. This was repeatedly told by Zhong Yi. Cao Ziying attached great importance to it and personally arrested it.

To put it bluntly, Cao Ziying and Finance Director Chen Jiming have become Zhong Yi's number one and second-rate bad guys, and both of them have implemented Zhong Yi's orders without any compromise.

As soon as Zhong Yi got off the car, Cao Ziying immediately came up with him.

"Mayor." Cao Ziying said with a charming look on his face, "You are here."

Zhong Yi said with a nod and said, "Have the refugees' accommodation arranged?"

"The arrangement is done." Cao Ziying said flatteringly, "The Beiyi has vacated all the school buildings of Minqiang Middle School and Industrial School. In addition, Paul Monastery, Siming Office and Puji Court can accommodate almost 30,000 people. The refugees behind will be placed in Jiangdong and Haishu respectively, and the places there have also begun to be opened."

"Okay, not bad." Zhong Yi patted Cao Ziying on the shoulder after hearing this.

After receiving Zhong Yi's praise, Cao Ziying felt that his bones were lighter.

Zhong Yi thought about it and said, "Old Cao, the refugee problem is very complicated, especially the influx of so many refugees will definitely have a great impact on the old order in Jiangbei. Therefore, you may have to work hard during this period. You must go to the streets to patrol continuously twenty-four hours a day."

Cao Ziying responded with a slight hesitation on her face.

Zhong Yi immediately said: "If there is not enough manpower, you can recruit another group."

The patrol team should indeed be expanded. With the influx of refugees, the security situation in Yinjiang will deteriorate sharply. At this time, if there is no patrol team with sufficient number and strong combat effectiveness, there will be big problems! Because countless facts have proved throughout history that refugees have always been an unstable factor.

No matter which country or ethnic group it is, as long as it is a refugee, there is no one who will not cause trouble.

Cao Ziying was overjoyed when she heard this and replied proudly: "Don't worry, Mayor, our police station guarantees to complete the task!"

"Old Cao, I feel at ease with you." Zhong Yi comforted Cao Ziying a few more words, and then walked into the dock of China Merchants Corporation.

But I saw that two thousand-ton ferries had been parked at the China Merchants Wharf, and teams of ragged refugees were walking down the gangway.

Most of these refugees have dull eyes and are covered in food.

Even from a distance, you can smell the bad smell coming from the refugees.

Zhou Baoyu, who was following Zhong Yi, was from a wealthy family. When he smelled the bad smell, he subconsciously reached out to cover his mouth and nose, but soon he put his hand down again.

Because Zhong Yi didn't reach out to cover his mouth and nose.

Although Zhong Yi did not look back, he seemed to be able to see Zhou Baoyu's small movement behind him.

Zhong Yi said quietly: "Secretary General Zhou, do you think these refugees are smelly?"

Zhou Baoyu was speechless and said to me, my mayor, you really can't answer your words.

After pausing for a moment, Zhong Yi said again: "Actually, these refugees don't want to do this. If they can choose, why are they willing to leave their hometown? How are they willing to not wash their faces or take a bath for a few months? The smell is so stinking? They are innocent, and these are all evils caused by the Japanese!"

Zhou Baoyu's expression became serious and said, "Mayor, I understand!"

"No, you don't understand!" Zhong Yi said, "The cruelty and viciousness of the Japanese are beyond your imagination!"

Zhou Baoyu was born into a wealthy family and has been in Yinjiang. Yinjiang has not been affected by the war, so he had no way of imagining how cruel the Japanese would be.

"So, please treat these refugees well." Zhong Yi said, "They were also decent people."

"Yes." Zhou Baoyu responded respectfully, and when he looked at the refugees again, his eyes had become much softer, at least the disgust that had just disappeared.

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "Also, mobilize government officials to publicize the citizens of all Yinjiang, telling them why these refugees left their hometowns and what kind of suffering they had suffered."

The large influx of refugees will definitely cause serious and profound social problems.

At this time, in addition to strengthening police force and public security, we must also promote the original Yinjiang citizens to eliminate their hostility towards refugees.

"Yes." Zhou Baoyu said respectfully, "I will go back and make arrangements."

"No." Zhong Yi said in a deep voice, "Don't pretend to others, you can do it yourself!"

"Yes!" Zhou Baoyu said solemnly, "I will do it now!"

After saying that, Zhou Baoyu turned around and left.

Zhong Yi stayed at the Merchant Pier Terminal for half an hour, then went to Minqiang Middle School again. After a walk around the Industrial School, he found that Cao Ziying's work was done quite well and the refugees were all placed well. On the campus of the Industrial School, Zhong Yi even saw a voluntary diagnosis and treatment team, diagnosing the diseased refugees.

In addition, there are guard posts at Minqiang Middle School and industrial schools. Idle people are not allowed to enter, and refugees inside are not allowed to go out. At this stage, it is better to isolate the refugees first.

Then, Zhong Yi went to the refugee resettlement sites in Jiangdong and Haishu and walked away.

Because the preparations were done in depth and meticulously, although there were many refugees coming in, all work was carried out in an orderly manner and there was no chaos.

But when he returned to the office, Zhong Yi still had to call provincial chairman Huang Shaohong as soon as possible.

"Hey, Chairman Huang? I'm Xiao Zhong." Zhong Yi said, "Chairman Huang, let me tell you that our Yinjiang schools, monasteries, temples and cathedrals have been crowded by refugees. I really can't find a place to resettle refugees! I'll send them here, so I can only let them sleep on the streets like Shanghai!"

"What? Then let them sleep on the streets?"

"Chairman Huang, why are you so cruel?"

"What did you say? Even if the refugees sleep on the streets of Yinjiang, they can at least stutter?"

"Chairman Huang, I'm about to tell you this, you said, what are you doing? I finally got some money to buy tens of thousands of tons of corn from the United States. This is all for the Zhejiang East China Sea Defense Corps to be used as military rations. But you are fine. Those illegal grain merchants bought so much corn from my low price. You don't care about it, but now they keep sending refugees to me. What's this called?"

"No, no, absolutely not. One hundred thousand refugees are already the limit, and there can be no more."

"If you send it again, I won't pick it up. I will close the dock directly, me!"
