In the blink of an eye, more than ten days later.

Xinye is a small town, but it is a gathering of people from north to south, and the flow of people is even more than in the past.

Zhang Xiu was dressed in armor and patrolled the streets with a sword.

It's something he does every day, and without him, it's a good time to make a name for himself.

On his side, Hu Che'er looked like an evil and was vicious, but at this time, he raised his head and chest, with a smile on his face.

"Lord, in the past, the common people saw us like robbers, but now they see us as kind, don't say it, this feeling of being respected is really comfortable."

Zhang Xiu rolled her eyes, and said in her heart that they were burning, killing and looting before, who wouldn't run!

"This is called a sense of honor, but while enjoying this honor, you should also shoulder this responsibility. That's the responsibility to protect them. Zhang Xiu turned his head and stopped, and said solemnly.

Hu Che'er was suddenly taken aback by Zhang Xiu's sudden solemnity, and immediately scratched his head and smiled: "I don't know if I am responsible or not, but I will do whatever the lord asks me to do." ”

Zhang Xiu shook his head and showed a helpless smile, "Ah, this is the Heavenly Mandate Pill, given by the gods, which can make you improve your martial arts, don't tell others, and no one will take it by yourself later." ”

"Heavenly Destiny Pill?" Hu Che'er disturbed his dark head, looked at the elixir on Zhang Xiu's fingertips with a confused expression, and immediately smiled and said, "Thank you for the reward." ”

He had seen Hu Che'er's attributes before, and the force value was 90, which was quite decent, but his loyalty was not low, and it was a reward to give a big Dan.

Then, Zhang Xiu greeted the people kindly, but most of them were yellow and thin, and they were dressed in strands, which made people feel distressed.

This is the truest portrayal of the troubled times, most of them rely on plants and trees to feed their hunger, if they don't have themselves, I'm afraid these people can survive for ten tenths of it.

The east entrance of the city is one of the porridge pie spots.

Looking at the team that looked like a long dragon, he sighed in his heart.

The person in charge of serving the porridge was a scribe, and at this time the order was constantly maintained.

stepped forward and glanced at the barrel, Zhang Xiu's expression was gloomy, and he immediately said, "Where is the grain officer?" Why is the rice porridge in the barrel so thin and so difficult to satisfy hunger? ”

Seeing Zhang Xiu's anger, the scribe shuddered, and immediately knelt on the ground and shouted in fear: "The lord spares his life, the lord spares his life, this is not the villain's intention, this is the meaning of the military advisor, after all, the rations in the city are limited, so it's just..."

"Hmph, pass on my general order, all porridge shops must be able to see millet with their eyes, otherwise I will cut off your head." Zhang Xiu shouted.

"Add rice, boil porridge to satisfy hunger."

Zhang Xiu personally carried a bag of corn and kept adding corn to the pot that had just started the fire.

"From today on, the rice porridge is enough, and if there is anyone who is greedy for food, he will be cut off with his own hands." Zhang Xiu pulled his sword backwards and threw it on the sand in front of him.

For a while, hundreds of people looked at Zhang Xiu as if they were looking at a god, and tears welled up in the corners of their eyes.

How long has it been, how long has it been since they had eaten enough, if the big men were all such officials, how could they be like this.

"I'll wait for the grass people, thank you General."

In an instant, the sound of sorrow was like thunder, resounding through the heavens and the earth, and gratitude was filled with pain.

Such a scene, even if it is Zhang Xiu, he can't help but be moved, but the more it is like this, the heavier the mission and responsibility.

After a long time, Zhang Xiu straightened his spine, his eyes were like torches, he stepped forward and pulled back his sword to cut off a strand of hair, and shouted hoarsely,

"Everyone, from now on, all the people under my rule, but I Zhang Xiu have a bite to eat, and I will never let you starve, if you violate this oath, you will be thundered."

The words were sonorous, and hundreds of people were teary-eyed.

"Daddy, that general is so heroic, Bao'er wants to be like a general when she grows up." A child pointed his little black finger at Zhang Xiu and said like a babble.

The yellow-faced and thin-skinned man instantly held Bao'er's fingers, and immediately choked up: "Okay, Bao'er eats obediently, so that when you grow up, you can join the general and fight for him." ”

For a time, countless children whispered, countless teenagers aspired, and countless young people rushed to the championship.

With such a general, even if he dies, why be afraid?

"General, I want to join the army, I want to be a soldier under you."

One person's words may not be heard clearly, but at this time, hundreds of people shouted in unison, and their voices moved the sky.

Surprisingly, the family members next to these young people did not stop them, but instead cast approving and gratifying eyes.

"Those who are soldiers take it as their responsibility to protect their families and defend the country, if you really have this heart, someone will come to recruit soldiers in a while, and you will answer the call." Zhang Xiu's voice is bold,

Then he said loudly: "Folks, the fertile land is deserted today, my generation should be self-sufficient, and when we are full of food and drink later, I hope you will spare no effort to reclaim the fertile land and make plans for the coming year." ”

"The general laughed, this is within my boundaries, and it should be so." An old man leaned on a crutch and said respectfully.

"Yes, that's within my part."

For a while, the crowd was excited, and they rushed to shout.

In the middle of the night, the sun was shining.

On both sides of the bank of the Shushui River, Zhang Xiu took off his clothes and armor, and actually carried a shovel to work with many people.

The people are also enthusiastic and spare no effort.

Not long after, Jia Xu hurriedly came on horseback, and was very puzzled when he saw Zhang Xiu doing it himself.

With a worried face, he paced back and forth for a while, and finally stepped forward and said: "Lord, why did you order the distribution of corn, now there is not much ration in Nanyang counties, if it is distributed at such a speed, I am afraid that within half a month, the new field grain will be exhausted, what should I do at that time?" ”

Slowly erecting the shovel, Zhang Xiu straightened his waist, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said: "Wenhe, do you know that work for relief?" ”

Without waiting for Jia Xu to reply, Zhang Xiu continued: "The water stretches for hundreds of miles, if the people are difficult to eat, and they will complain in their hearts, how can they spare no effort to reclaim the polder?" ”

"And now, if you look at the people, there are tens of thousands, and they are working with all their hearts, is it not better than muddy?"

"This," Jia Xu didn't know what to say, but looking at it, this group of people was even harder than that group of soldiers and horses, could this be the master's superiority?

"It's stupid, and my subordinates will try their best to solve the problem of grain and grass." Jia Xu solemnly clenched his fists, and immediately turned over and left.

At the same time, rumors were spread in the streets and alleys of Runan, Yingchuan, Nanjun, Jiangxia and other places.

"Have you heard, Nanyang Zhang Xiu was ordered by the Emperor of Heaven to issue an edict to help the displaced people, I heard that for hundreds of days, and all taxes were exempted, my uncle's family has long passed."

"Really? In such troubled times, who is still willing to help refugees? It's too late to avoid it! ”

"Of course it's true, my second aunt's family has arrived, and I sent a letter back to say that General Zhang Xiu loves the people like a son, and the rice porridge donated is enough to satisfy hunger, which can be imagined."

For a time, all kinds of rumors spread in the streets and alleys, and they spread more and more. Countless people from all over the world rushed to Nanyang with the army of displaced people.

The momentum is too great to describe.
