Chapter 336: Where is the hope for the restoration of the country?
The next day, Sanchuan County's recital on immigration had just been prepared, and before it was issued, the imperial court's decree came down, and the content was also about immigration, and the specific immigration location was available, which was to Yuyang.
Since the unification, the imperial court was busy with technical affairs such as writing, currency, weights and measures, transportation, etc., and was even more busy with the settlement and stability of various local forces, which gave the Huns a chance to breathe.
It was not until Meng Tian won a big victory two years ago, and Gongzi Fusu took the opportunity of a big victory to gain the initiative in negotiations, so that the Huns settled north of Yinshan.
But the Huns are currently living in peace, and no one can say how long they can live in peace, so there is still a long way to go to defend a key place in the north like Yuyang.
The meaning of the imperial court is to levy a thousand people from Luzuo, and this thousand people will be sent by Sanchuan County and Huiji County.
Li You couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he got this will, now, if he can buy time and send this group of people away early, his pressure will be reduced. Since the plan is so clear, let's do it!
He brought Wang Zexi over, one, two, three, four, five, and communicated the principled opinions, and the matter was arranged. At present, his main task is to urge, wait, borrow, and then release grain.
I don't know if Zhang Dahu's food is happy or not!
At this time, the sergeant Han Dong, who was accompanying him, ran in "pedaling", "Envoy, the county lieutenant has asked someone to bring a letter!" ”
The little colonel who followed behind him hurriedly saluted.
"Tell me, what's going on!" Seeing the man's expression, Li You's brows instantly furrowed.
"Envoy, the food is robbed!"
"Robbed? …… Make it clear! "Li You didn't start by taking the case.
The little school was so frightened that he "plopped" and knelt on the ground. "Envoy, here's the thing. Originally, the county lieutenant sent me and others to pick up food along the road, but I couldn't rest assured, so the county lieutenant went with me and others. As a result, when they walked to the Seven Wolf Mountain, they met the soldiers who had been scattered and carried grain, and they said that there was a group of people who were lying in ambush there and robbed the grain while it was dark. ”
"What about the grain servants?"
"Errand soldiers, a few of them died, a few were wounded, a few ran away, and the rest were gathered together with us, and the whereabouts of the grain are currently being traced!"
Li You felt that his head was too big!
The house leak happened to be rainy, and he was talking about him!
"You, go down to eat and rest first, and then tell Qin Sui, step up day and night, can't delay, after verifying, take the thieves into custody, starve them for a few meals!"
The little colonel hurriedly agreed and went down.
Li You sat down and let out a long breath, pondered for a while, got up again, and shouted viciously, "Dongzi!" ”
Han Dong hurriedly responded: "Is the envoy going out?" ”
Li You nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, let's go borrow grain again!" If you don't borrow enough 500 stone today, you and I won't even have to eat! ”
……
Li You gave up his face and went everywhere to borrow grain. The porridge shack in Xingyang City was also opened. Zhang Dahu was talking, and the first batch of grain was delivered early.
However, there was a change in Qi Dahu, his family's granary caught fire, and several hoards of grain were burned, which made Li You can't help but scold his mother.
He always felt that this was a trick played by the Qi family, but he didn't catch any evidence, so he had to withdraw the person first.
At present, he has no time to spend with him, and when he gets the food things right, he must clean up this grandson! However, thinking about it again, if this grandson is not cured, others will follow suit, so how can the next grain be harvested?
In extraordinary times, extraordinary means are necessary!
He called his own soldiers in and asked him to keep an eye on people, just the few people in charge of the Qi family's compound. Then send the county inspector to help the Qi family find out the reason. He used all the secret visits of the Ming Cha, but he wanted to see where the old boy was hidden?
A few days later, the matter of Seven Wolf Mountain had a result.
Qin Sui gathered all the stolen goods that could be collected, and rushed to Xingyang City with the thieves who had committed the crime.
Li You sent a letter and asked him to carry out propaganda along the road to fight the hungry people who were ready to move in the face of the disaster. He asked people to walk all the way, shouting all the way, and wherever there were more people, he stayed for a while, so that people could see the fate of the thieves.
The victims stared blankly at the beaten and detained prisoners. They didn't dare to speak, they just watched worriedly.
There was no sympathy on their faces.
Qin Sui knew what they thought, and in the face of hunger, they could forgive every qiē. But what about those who don't get food? In the case that the stomach is not satisfied, people will still choose fairness.
After entering Xingyang City, there were even more onlookers. Onlookers are full of carts of grain and unlucky people who rob it.
The escorting sergeants had no choice but to move forward as they opened the way.
At this time, it was lunchtime, and the smell of rice wafting from the porridge shed attracted the sergeants to look in that direction one by one.
There were people lined up in front of the porridge shed, young and old, as well as people who were disabled by sin. In short, in addition to the big families, the people who can move are here. Xingyang City in winter, because of the setting up of several porridge sheds, presents a strange lively atmosphere. At this time of year, the streets are very depressed.
The hungry people with bowls became more excited by the presence of grain carts and bandits, and the long queue was finally less boring.
Zhang Liang was mixed with the hungry people, and he also lined up with bowls. Anyway, if you line up, you can eat, so why not line up? He was able to mingle with the hungry and listen to them to make up for the lack of news he had been away for many years.
For example, the county guard Li You is the son of Li Si, the left minister of the dynasty, he is not only from a good background, but also has great kung fu, and can be one enemy and ten among the sergeants, which is very prestigious.
Moreover, he went everywhere to borrow grain from large households, and it is said that he could go to his house for three days in a row. made other people's dogs wagging their tails when they saw him, thinking that an acquaintance was coming!
Also, this Li You's order must be carried out, and whoever dares to disobey will be whipped immediately.
……
In short, in their eyes, this county guard Li You is said to be like a god!
"Look, look, look, that person was pulled out too!" Then, there was a commotion in the crowd.
"Is it surnamed Qi?"
"I heard that the surname is Qi!"
"Don't make noise, isn't someone talking, listen well!"
A group of sergeants on horseback came from the other side of the street, and with them came a carriage with a cage in which an old man of about fifty years of age was tied. The old man looked very decently dressed, and looked unharmed, but his face was gray and his expression was languid, as if he had been hungry for several days.
A sergeant rode on his horse and shouted: "Folks, listen, the person who is now in custody, he promised to lend the Yamen grain and repented, and let his family set fire to the grain that had been accumulated for many years. ”
As soon as they heard this, they "buzzed", as if their chests exploded with anger from hunger.
"Shoot him!"
"Starve him!"
"Burn him!"
……
All kinds of sounds filled Zhang Liang's eardrums, and Zhang Liang couldn't hear anything clearly. The guy behind stabbed him and said, "Hey, it's your turn!" He didn't react.
The person in charge of serving the porridge shouted: "Hey, put the bowl flat!" ”
He still didn't hear.
The queue behind was anxious, "Hey, are you hungry or not, if you're not hungry, go to the side!" ”
The person who served the porridge in front put down the big spoon and knocked down the edge of the pot, looking at this stupid person with a playful expression. No one lifted the bowl, and he could take a break, so he wasn't in a hurry.
The people behind were really anxious, "Don't be hungry, you just go to the side!" The man pulled him so hard that he was in a hurry.
He was furious, and when he looked back, he punched, "Tong", and the man's face suddenly had a nosebleed.
"Hit someone, beat someone!" People shouted.
Those who lined up to receive porridge all looked over here. The sergeant who maintained order also followed the voice.
Zhang Liang suddenly woke up, what is the time to make a temperament? He hurriedly held the little man with the nosebleed, and said eagerly, as sincerely as possible: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll give you money, okay?" I'll give you money! ”
The little man covered his nose and was about to scold, when he suddenly stopped and asked, "Give money?" How much to give? ”
"Well, give you money, ten money!"
"Phew, I want fifty dollars!"
"Okay, fifty dollars, I'll give you that bowl of porridge too!"
"Okay, talk about it!" The man put down his blood-stained hand, wiped it with his sleeve, and reached over the bowl to hold the porridge.
However, their fighting and bargaining skills have already been topped by others, so how can they still have a place? The beaten man stopped doing it, "No, my porridge is gone, you can add me another fifty dollars!" ”
"Okay, good, I'll give you fifty dollars!"
The one who was beaten regretted it even more, why don't you say dozens of dollars?
Zhang Liang said: "Let's go, let's go, get you money, you can line up again!" ”
Reluctantly, the man got the money, wiped the blood from his face and went back to the queue. Zhang Liang was able to get out.
At this moment, he was no longer hungry, and looking at the long line of hungry people, he sighed and opened his legs in frustration.
He saw Qi Da Neng in the cage just now, that was the first relationship he found in Xingyang, without his support, his road would be even more difficult!
In the end, where is the hope of recovering the country? (To be continued.) )
