Chapter 63: Sharpening the Knife

Zhao Liang nodded again and again: "It's the magistrate, the city gate has been opened, Xing Zhukuai is still guarding the city gate, and people who come and go must go through strict investigation." ”

The city gates are open and they are allowed to enter and exit, and those who want to come outside the city should have an extra way to live. I just don't know if the grain in the granary can last for a few days, and whether it can survive until Qin sends them over.

"I went over to inquire, and it seemed that Qin Cha had a tough attitude this time, because I saw that many people were starving to death in some counties, and the parents and officials not only did not save people, but closed the city gate tightly to prevent refugees from entering the city. When Lord Qincha saw the hungry mayflies everywhere, his heart ached beyond measure, and he hated such a selfish dog official who did not make decisions for the people, so he immediately wrote a song of 600 li and sent it to the capital to reach the heavens. Although the execution of the imperial court has not yet come down, everyone knows in their hearts that Nazhi County is more than lucky. When our Kochi Prefecture heard the news, they were so frightened that they had no master, and the next morning they listened to the words of the master and opened the city gate, wanting to use your previous method to resettle the refugees. ”

Zhao Liang said here and smiled: "He is stupid to be a refugee, he has closed the city gate for three or four days, and he has not given food or drink, where will those refugees wait for death at the city gate, and they have already gone to other places to find a way to live." ”

Jiang Chun sighed: "At a time like this, where can I find a way to live?" Now those who eat have no love, and those who have love have no food. ”

Jiang Qu thought that there were still a few sick old people and children in front of the city gate before she left, and she didn't know what happened to them. During that time outside the city gate, a doctor from the city came out to give them free medical treatment, although the food and housing conditions were not very good, but they did not have to do anything to just nourish their bodies, and their bodies gradually improved. But if you suddenly fasten and stop taking medicine, I am afraid that their condition will recur and it will be more serious.

Zhao Liang also knew that they were worried about those people, but, "I also asked Xing Zhutou, and he said that during that time, because the county magistrate ordered the city gate to be closed suddenly, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, many refugees were very irritable, and there were several incidents of breaking into the city gate, and they were also worried and vigilant day and night." Strangely, however, from the afternoon of our departure, the number of refugees outside the city began to decrease little by little. At first, they didn't care, they just thought that those people saw that there was no way here, so they went to find a way to survive somewhere else. At that time, there were still people who were always looking for an opportunity to break into the city, and their attention was also on these people. When the city gate was opened today, they found that hundreds of people outside the city gate suddenly lost more than half, and then they found that there was something strange among them. ”

Jiang Qu was also curious when he heard this, "So many people are gone, and they don't even know about Xing Zhutou?" ”

Zhao Liang touched his nose. Some time ago, he went in and out of the city gate, and when he was transporting grain, he was familiar with Xing Yukuai, and the two hit it off at first sight, and they hated each other late, if it wasn't for the wrong time, the two would still want to tie up in Taoyuan. For this matter, he really didn't know how to excuse Xing Zhu.

"I'll just say, those of them who are officials, they only care about their own promotions and fortunes, where do they care about the lives of the people?" Jiang Chun scoffed.

Jiang Quinoa was also a little angry at what Kochi County and Xing Yu had done, but he was more concerned about how the refugees would survive.

"You go and inquire again, and see where they have gone? Can someone take them in? Jiang Quinoa said this, but he also knew in his heart that it would be difficult for others to settle so many people except for the support of the imperial court. But also hoping to save one is one.

Zhao Liang answered and went out to inquire again.

Two days later, news came one after another, and wherever he went, he not only strictly inspected the granaries of the imperial court, re-erected porridge sheds, but also properly resettled the victims, and even re-registered the status and household registration of refugees. It is said that after this matter is over, the imperial court will re-measure the land, and those who have a title deed will directly return the land, and those who do not have a title deed will return the land as long as they can find five people to prove it. Others have fled from other places, and those who are willing to return to their hometowns can also go back, and those who do not want to go back can go to the government to re-register and be resettled nearby.

Zhao Liang, who inquired about the news, sighed: "You don't know, many villages outside are ten rooms and nine empty, and the village is as lonely as a dead city, even the officers and soldiers dare not enter and exit at will, and they have to be brave with two or three people." When everyone fled in a hurry, many people did not go to starve to death, no one buried them, and the death of people was very horrible. Zhao Liang thought of the description in the rumors outside, and almost vomited out the overnight meal.

"Like our village, everyone is fine, basically there are no starving people, basically there are none." Zhao Liang said that there was a faint sense of pride and pride here. If it weren't for the food he bought with the money he won from gambling, I am afraid that these people in the village would have fled long ago, where can they live in peace, thinking about how to calculate others all day long?

The actions of Lord Qincha made them feel as hopeful as they saw the red glow before the sun rose, and every day they began to look forward to Lord Qincha coming to them as soon as possible, and resettle the refugees well, and if they stayed up for another five or six days, it would rain and the days would slowly get better.

Early in the morning, Jiang Quinoa and they were still asleep, when they heard the sound of Huo Huo coming from the yard, they saw that the sky was already bright, and they lay on the bed for a while, Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun got up and dressed slowly.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Jiang Tiezhu sharpening his sickle against the big whetstone by the wall, Jiang Chun yawned, and asked with sleepiness in his voice: "Brother Zhuzi, what are you busy with in the morning?" ”

Jiang Tiezhu scratched his head innocently, "Dad asked me to sharpen the sickle, and I will go to the field to cut the weeds later." The eldest lady said that it would rain in a few days, and my father said that now the grass in the field will be cut, and when it rains, there will be water in the field, and if the ground is turned over again, you can plant some late wheat. Did I wake you up? ”

Although it was daytime, Jiang Tiezhu and Qingbo didn't dare to relax, there must be someone around Jiang Quinoa. He couldn't leave, so he moved the whetstone to the backyard, for fear of making them sleep, and specially picked a corner where he could see the door of Jiang Quinoa's house, who knew it would wake them up.

Jiang Chun blushed and shook his head: "No, it's time to wake up, and if you sleep again, you will become a lazy girl." ”

Jiang Quinoa, who walked to the door slowly, couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and he didn't know who was angry and kept cursing when he was woken up just now.

The two washed up and went to the study, Liao Xiucai said that they had fallen behind a lot of homework, and they would have to check their previous homework when they resumed classes from now on. Who knew that when I went to the study, I didn't see Liao Xiucai, even Liao Changzhi was not there.

"Did you forget?" Jiang Chun put down his things as he said and said, "I'll go to the front yard and have a look." ”

Jiang Quinoa thought about it and went to the front yard with her, all the way to the courtyard was quiet, there was no one, the two looked at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

"It's better to keep this matter from Miss." Qingbo's voice came from the half-open window of the hall and fell on Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun's ears.
