"There's someone down here!" A man of modest stature shouted in surprise.

Then, several men patrolling nearby immediately shouted and came over: "Second and third sons, come and save people!" ”

Ju Zizhou followed a few men to get up together, removed the door panel, dug up the roof sealing mud, and rescued an old man who was pressed under the house.

Immediately afterwards, a Qin official came over with an umbrella, and carried the old man to the ox cart prepared at the street entrance, and transported it to the platform outside the palace with other victims to eat porridge.

After Ju Zizhou finished saving people, he wiped his face, pushed the long hair that blocked his vision to the back, and said to the man next to him who participated in the rescue: "After cleaning up this household, the area we are responsible for will be completely cleaned up, right?" ”

"No, there are two more households by the river behind...... I'm going to have to go and have a look. The honest man said: "The two families in the back are Henghe Yu, and I don't know ......if the house collapsed or not."

After digging to save people, a few men from a distance rummaged through the rubble, but failed to find the copper coin as expected, and walked over disappointed: "It's time to clean it up, right?" ”

"Not yet." The honest man shook his head: "There are still two families left." ”

"Entering the Woman!" A man shivered: "This year's rain is too heavy, I think I can't get much grain back in my field!" ”

"My family is just afraid, I really don't know how people can survive in this weather."

"What are you afraid of?" The people on the side gritted their teeth: "The grain harvest is poor, and everyone who has no lords on the left and right will die." After three or five days, Naigong is extremely hungry, but he is a strong man with a sword and a cut path, even if he dies, he can beg for a bite of food for the old man and the young son in the family, it is better than waiting for death at home. ”

"Pheasant! What stupid words are you talking about! The honest man glared.

"Quan, your bride is pregnant, right? At that time, there will be no food at home, and I am afraid that my wife and children will starve to death, right? Someone asked.

The honest man's face darkened.

A group of people spoke, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and the figures faintly formed a trend of closing together, surrounding Ju Zizhou in the middle.

"Boy, you have some face, are you from our book?" An honest man named Quan stood in front of a companion: "Fang Cai Pheasant is talking faintly, don't worry about it." ”

Ju Zizhou frowned.

"Everyone is a victim of the disaster, your family's grain harvest will fail, and the millet grown at home will definitely be flooded by heavy rain, but I am afraid that there will be no harvest before the first month."

"When we all starve, what good is it for me to report you and others at this time?" Ju Zizhou asked.

Careless!

Ju Zizhou sighed in his heart.

In the past, whether it was poverty alleviation or disaster relief, he developed the habit of not carrying weapons, but at this time, it was the Warring States, and the situation was different.

You shouldn't rush over to collect first-hand information!

There was hesitation on Quan's face, and the pheasant and several others on the side relaxed when they heard Ju Zizhou's words.

Yes, everyone is a disaster victim who is about to run out of food, Ju Zizhou goes to report that they have the possibility of breaking the law, and they can't survive with that little reward.

Despite the relaxation, the encirclement has not been lifted.

According to the law, if one person breaks the law, the rest of them will sit together if they don't report each other.

And Ju Zizhou, a strange face who is a little or even a mile away from them, can report their existence at will.

The situation at this time determined that it was impossible for them to report each other's crimes against each other - they had suffered a disaster, had no food, and would starve to death sooner or later, and everyone knew that although the pheasant's words were unpleasant, they were the only way to survive in front of everyone.

Although it is very unreliable to say anything about looting in Xianyang City, but other than that, everyone has no other way to live.

So this is the only and unreliable way that everyone can take.

Although Kwon reprimanded the pheasant for saying "faint words", all of them knew that the pheasant's faintness was not because he had the idea of breaking the law, but because he said it when a stranger was around.

The rain was pouring down, and for a while, everyone was in a stalemate.

"Hey, what are you guys, have you cleaned it up? After cleaning up, come with me, it's time to eat! I don't know how long later, a Qin official holding an umbrella shouted at them: "Wang Sun's decree says: During the disaster relief and reconstruction period, all husbands who participate in the disaster relief will have meat for three meals a day and three taels of wine at night!" ”

Before the words fell, Qin Yan was already holding an umbrella and walking towards other areas, shouting loudly about Wang Sunzheng's decree as he walked.

Kwon Han's face showed a look of confusion.

Everyone looked at each other and glanced at Ju Zizhou again.

"Why don't you go to dinner first? Or go and see the remaining two first? Ju Zizhou asked.

In this kind of heavy rain, it is normal for someone to accidentally fall and drown, and Ju Zizhou does not want to drown "accidentally".

So he took the opportunity to break the deadlock.

Kwon's face changed.

The pheasant gritted his teeth and pushed behind Quan: "Quan, you take everyone to eat first, and Qi Mu and I will go to Henghe and Yu to have a look." ”

Kwon frowned, and finally nodded.

"That's it." Quan nodded, and cordially took Ju Zizhou's arm: "Little brother, don't be restrained, everyone is made into one, how can you be divided?" My name is Quan, little brother, what's your name? ”

"My name is Zhou." Ju Zizhou did not resist, but asked kindly: "Brother Quan, is your bride really pregnant?" ”

"I'm five months pregnant." When Quan talked about his wife, he had a smile on his face, and he looked like an honest person who was easy to bully.

As the crowd walked into the wide road, a group of men walked forward in the rain, ready to go back to eat.

The Qin officials on the side of the road held an umbrella and shouted: "Line up, don't crowd, don't mess up." ”

Entering everyone's field of vision, Quan's body stiffened slightly, pursed his lips, and let go of Ju Zizhou's arm, but his eyes kept falling on him, for fear that he would suddenly report to the Qin officials on the side of the road that the person who was breaking the law had illegal thoughts.

But Ju Zizhou has always been very peaceful.

The crowd moved forward silently.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, I finally arrived at the platform in front of the palace.

Due to the high terrain here, there is no standing water on the ground, and the rainwater falls on the bluestone paved ground, which often immediately merges into a trickle and flows towards the ground.

As I walked, a fragrant smell of meat came to my face.

Everyone looked up at this time, only to see that under the shed that had been erected in front of them, several bronze tripods were steaming under the flames.

And the rich aroma of meat is emanating from the ding.

"Goo." Almost all of them swallowed.

There are a lot of men here, and they are very different from each other, the difference is in age, figure, appearance; But there are many similarities, and the biggest similarity is that they are all poor, they are all victims of disasters, and they have all just carried out hard relief activities.

They were all hungry and cold.

At this time, almost no one can refuse a bowl of hot broth.

At this time, a small figure appeared in everyone's sight.

He was very short, but he stood on a temporary high platform in front of the copper tripod.

The little man was talking briefly.

But his voice was so low that in the heavy rain, no one who was a little farther away could hear him.

But it didn't matter, the specially arranged Qin official began to repeat the villain's words loudly over and over again after the villain finished speaking.

"Wang Sun's decree said: The disaster is very serious, and the government calls on all the affected husbands in the city, who are over 15 years old and under 40 years old, to participate in disaster relief and reconstruction."

"Disaster relief and reconstruction work is to rescue people who have been crushed by collapsed houses, clean up rivers, rebuild houses for those who have lost their lives, build dikes, and build reservoirs at the end of the fields."

"Every husband who participates in the labor shall be in charge of three meals a day, and shall be paid daily."

Kwon swallowed his saliva while smelling the broth, and stared at Ju Zizhou with a nervous expression.

When he heard Qin Yan's shout, he couldn't react for a while.

For a long time, his face was still confused.

However, someone next to him hugged his head and cried.

Kwon didn't know why, and he also cried.

"Queue up, line up and go forward to receive the meal, the beam is full of rice, the broth is full, and there is no wine at noon!" The Qin officials said, purging the team.

Kwon lined up to receive the meal with tears in his eyes.

He didn't notice that the man named "Zhou" had quietly disappeared.

"It's done, brother?" The beauties around him wiped her hair for Yingzheng and wrapped him in a clean brocade robe and tiger fur.

Ju Zizhou shuddered next to the charcoal basin and nodded: "Almost." ”

"Mr. Ju......" Xiong Dang looked at Yingzheng, who was so cold that his lips were white, slightly distressed and puzzled: "The city is just kind to the people, why do you need Wang Sunzheng to do it himself?"

Ju Zizhou didn't even look at him, and he didn't want to explain that his behavior with Yingzheng was not in the city.

Ying Zheng was so cold that he shivered, but he was extremely excited: "Because this is not in the city, but in building a new relationship of power and responsibility." ”
