In this way, everyone crossed the Yellow River all the way, but as soon as they reached the other side of the Yellow River, Lin Nan was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Displaced people, thousands of displaced people.

The face is yellow and thin, the clothes are ragged, the old and the young are helped, and the mourning is everywhere.

Helpless, Lin Nan had no choice but to look back at Chen Gong and sighed: "Gongtai, you should pay attention." ”

Chen Gong said: "Lord, these displaced people are the people who were plundered by the Huns last year, because the relief given to them by the state was withheld by the government, so they will continue to wander with nothing." ”

Lin Nan sighed lightly, full of resentment.

At this time, I only heard Chen Gong continue: "Now the lord either ignores it, or tries to resettle, if the lord ignores it, I am afraid it will affect the reputation of the lord as an official, but if the lord wants to try to resettle, the lord is the Taishou of Jinyang, so he naturally has to bring the displaced people to Jinyang, but he can't be placed in the three counties of Hanoi, Hedong and Shangdang that are closer to here, but this place is far away from Jinyang, and there is no surplus food on the lord, this road may not be easy." ”

After listening to Chen Gong's words, Lin Nan suddenly felt a little difficult in his heart, if he didn't settle these homeless people, he would have a bad reputation for not saving them, but if he wanted to settle them, where would he get so much food now, could it be transported from modern times? But there are too many people, and he conjured up so much food out of thin air, he really can't explain it.

After thinking about it, in the end, Lin Nan gritted his teeth and said to Chen Gong: "Damn, since Lao Tzu is an official, he has to be the master of the people, and if he is not an official, he is not the master of the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes.

At first glance, Chen Gong didn't feel a little funny when he heard Lin Nan say these vulgar and rude words, but Chen Gong still supported Lin Nan's resettlement of the homeless, and the reason why Chen Gong wanted to list the options for Lin Nan to choose by himself. In fact, it was also a test for Lin Nan, seeing that Lin Nan agreed to resettle the displaced people, Chen Gong nodded secretly in his heart.

So, Chen Gong said: "That's very good." ”

Followed by. Lin Nan walked among the displaced people and said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, Lin Nan, the new Jinyang Taishou Lin Nan, is now going to Jinyang to take office, and if you want to go back to the state with the next one, follow the next." We will do everything we can to prevent everyone from starving and freezing again. ”

Lin Nan thought that after his words, all the homeless people would definitely respond in groups, but what Lin Nan never expected was that after listening to his words, the homeless army did not react, but some people looked at Lin Nan a few more times, and most people didn't even look at him at all.

Just when Lin Nan was extremely depressed, an old man among the homeless people suddenly said: "Are you really the new Jinyang Taishou Lin Lord? Jinyang has not been too protective for several months. We also just escaped from Jinyang. ”

Seeing that someone responded to his words, Lin Nan hurriedly said: "Yes, it is the new Jinyang Taishou below, and I will definitely give everyone a stable and prosperous life." ”

At this time, the old man said: "My lord, what you said is easy, Jinyang is already dilapidated, and it is a long way to go to Jinyang, and we have nothing to eat, how can we walk back to Jinyang?"

Lin Nan said solemnly: "Don't worry, uncle. I will lead everyone to Hanoi first, and then enter Jinyang from Shangdang, don't worry, I will go to the nearby towns to buy grain in a while. I'm not going to let anyone have any surprises on the way. ”

After listening to Lin Nan's words, the old man asked suspiciously: "Will you really buy food for us to eat? Can you really bring us back to Jinyang? Can you really let us live a stable and prosperous life?"

Seeing the old man asking, Lin Nan said loudly: "Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, please follow along, and when you get to the next town, I will buy food for everyone to eat." I will definitely bring everyone back to Jinyang safely, please believe me, I will definitely let everyone live a happy life. ”

As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, the old man said, "Okay, my lord, I'll go with you, but when we get to the next town, you have to buy food for us to eat." ”

Lin Nandao: "If you do what you say, you will guarantee your official position, and you will definitely buy food for everyone to eat." ”

At this time, the old man also said loudly: "Folks, let's follow Master Lin to see if he can give us food to eat, and it is better to follow him than to starve to death here." ”

So, finally some of the displaced people responded to Lin Nan, and finally, these displaced people followed Lin Nan to the next town.

When he arrived in the town, Lin Nan hurriedly asked Guan Hai to take out all the money and follow Chen Gong to buy food, and asked Huang Fuli to gather some young people among the homeless people to go together, at the same time, Lin Nan also repeatedly told Chen Gong that he must buy more and must lower the price.

After Chen Gong and the others left, Lin Nan hurriedly organized the homeless people to bury the pot and cook and prepare firewood and grass with the people who were left, and Zhao Wei at this time, he also helped Lin Nan and the others like a little adult.

After half a day, the grain was finally bought, but the quantity was far from enough, because there was not so much grain in the town, so Lin Nan had to wait until the next town.

And those homeless people, as soon as they saw the food, they rushed to eat it raw.

So, Lin Nan hurriedly asked Guan Hai and others to maintain order, and at the same time, ordered Wang Yue and others to protect the grain, but those displaced people finally believed what Lin Nan said.

After the efforts of Lin Nan and others, the homeless people finally quieted down, lined up to get food, and began to cook.

However, what made Lin Nan most depressed was that almost half of the carts of grain were used up in one meal, and looking at the rest of the food, Lin Nan began to worry again.

After dinner, the homeless people went to rest in groups, while Lin Nan and the others gathered around the fire to discuss the future.

Chen Gong said: "Lord, half of the food was used up for one meal today, and our money is not much left, and our prospects are not good." ”

Wang Cang also said: "Yes, we have to think of other ways." ”

Lin Nan said with some annoyance: "If it doesn't work, give me a robbery." ”

When several people heard Lin Nan say this, they all shook their heads helplessly, it seems that they don't approve of Lin Nan doing this.

At this time, Zhang Fan said: "Lord, we don't have to give food to the homeless, they can eat porridge." ”

As soon as he heard Zhang Fan say this, Lin Nan suddenly realized: Yes, how can there be any reason to feed the homeless, don't the homeless people all eat porridge?

So, Lin Nan said: "What the public welfare says is reasonable, and I will eat porridge in the future." ”

And Chen Gong and Wang Cang also nodded in agreement.

Then, Zhang Fan said: "My lord, there are too many displaced people now, and they are chaotic and inconvenient to manage, so we should organize the displaced people and manage them in formation." ”

As soon as Zhang Fan's words were finished, Chen Gong also said: "It should be like this, otherwise, this road is really impossible to go." ”

Lin Nan also nodded and said: "Well, that's very good, tomorrow I will group them up, a group of young and strong, a group of women, a group of old and young, and each group will be divided into several teams, so that there should be no problem, and the young and strong group can also make a living by hunting, and they can save a lot of food." Hearing Lin Nan say this, everyone nodded yes.

So, Lin Nan ordered Guan Hai Xu Huang to protect the grain, and the rest of the people were responsible for organizing the displaced people tomorrow.

After the discussion was over, everyone went to rest, and since Zhao Yun was not there, Zhao Wei stayed with Lin Nan.

On a quiet night, looking at the vast and boundless starry sky, Lin Nan suddenly felt so small, even if he was now a peerless master, but he was still just a brave man, and now he had not yet arrived in Bingzhou, he encountered so many difficult things, and he had to sleep in the wilderness, and he had to starve, I really don't know what will happen after he arrives in Bingzhou.

Looking at Zhao Wei who was sleeping beside him, Lin Nan shook his head and chuckled, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, as long as he arrives in Jinyang, he can secretly transport grain and high-quality grain from modern times, and then he will not have to worry.

Just like that, while thinking, Lin Nan slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, before Lin Nan woke up, he was awakened by the noise of the homeless people.

So, Lin Nan hurriedly got up from the quilt, and when Lin Nan got up, Chen Gong and the others were busy.

I only heard Chen Gong say: "The young man stands on the right, the women stand on the left, and the old and young stand in the middle, please hurry up and complete the grouping work, and we will do our best to rush to Jinyang." ”

With the help of Guan Hai and others, the displaced people were finally divided into three groups.

After the grouping was completed, Chen Gong said: "In each group, with family or kinship as the unit, one hundred people are a team, please hurry up and divide the team." ”

So, after another half a day, in the midst of the noise, they finally divided into dozens of detachments.

At this time, Chen Gong said again: "Please hurry up and nominate the captain of each team, and the person who is elected as the captain will come to me to register." ”

After another period of noise, the young and strong group and the women's group were finally elected, while the old and young group was relatively slow.

So, Chen Gong hurriedly ordered Wang Yue to cook porridge for them.

After the formation was completed, Chen Gong said: "Fellow villagers, the journey to Jinyang is very long, and the cost is very large, so I have to wronged the villagers to eat porridge on the road." If anyone is not satisfied, they can leave by themselves, and my family will not stop me, please forgive me. ”

As soon as Chen Gong's words were finished, the displaced people were silent for a while, but after a while, the old man who responded to Lin Nan yesterday said: "I waited all the way from Jinyang to escape from the famine, have the officials of the prefecture and county all the way helped us? But Lord Lin did not dislike us, he actually bought rice for us to eat, did not let us starve to death, and promised that we would be able to live in peace, now that we have met Lord Lin, we will not starve to death, what are we not satisfied with? And Lord Lin for us, actually scattered all the family wealth, such a righteous act, the ancient sages are just like this, therefore, the little old man is willing to follow the orders of the adults, and obey the dispatch of the adults all his life. ”

After saying that, the old man actually wept bitterly and couldn't kneel for a long time. (To be continued.) )
