Chapter 31: It's not easy

Fan Yu's concern is not the problem of hungry people, he has already proposed the matter of cash-for-work in his letter to Zhanzhao. In addition, in the letter, he also asked Bao Zheng to transfer grain to Xihua County in time.

What he is most afraid of now is that there are too many hungry people who come, and the existing food in his hand has been eaten, and Bao Zheng has not been able to send food here, so there will be problems.

Now Fan Yu only begged that the people of the Qin Mansion were not stupid enough to do things, and there were fewer hungry people from Chenzhou.

But nine times out of ten, things in this world are not as good as they should be. Often what you are afraid of, what you are afraid of.

Just when Qin Yuanwai was proud, on the road from Chenzhou to Caoqiao Town, there were all hungry people helping the old and the young.

Although Mr. Bookkeeper emphasized when he registered the hungry people, only those who registered their names could go to Caoqiao Town as a family. But as soon as this kind of thing comes out, it can't be contained, everyone doesn't care if you have registered, just looking forward to going to Caoqiao Town to eat and find a way to live. The old men in the government can't watch themselves starve to death.

There are not only two people who have this kind of thought, so there are several times more people going to Caoqiao Town.

Originally, the bookkeeper only distributed the registration documents to 200 households, but there were 800 hungry people who came.

If we count the number of people per household, although there are more or less in each household, the number is not less than thousands. The total number of people in the entire Caoqiao Town is only just a thousand, and if you want to place these many people well, there is only one word, difficult!

As soon as thousands of people on their side left from Chenzhou, Zhao Hu, a newly recruited errand under Bao Zheng, got the news. With such a large number of hungry people leaving, something must have gone wrong.

Zhao Hu went to the porridge tent outside the city to inquire a little, and then he understood the ins and outs. It was actually Fan Yu, the river control envoy of Caoqiao Town, who sent people to register the hungry people for work relief, which led a lot of hungry people away.

He returned to Bao Zheng's Qin Cha and hurried to see Bao Zheng.

At this time, Bao Zheng had just discussed with Gongsun Ce the charter of cash-for-work, and was about to write to the surrounding counties.

"Lord Bao, the lower officials have something important to report!" After Zhao Hu came back, he asked to see him outside the hall.

When Bao Zheng heard that Zhao Hu was coming, he said, "If there is anything important, you can come in and talk." ”

Zhao Hu hurriedly entered the hall and said, "Lord Qiyu, just got the news that thousands of hungry people have left from outside the north gate. Xia Guan felt that this matter was strange, so he deliberately went to the porridge tent at the north gate to investigate. only to find that someone was recruiting hungry people at the north gate to work for relief. That's a good thing. Thousands of hungry people left at once, and the pressure in Chenzhou City was much less. Adults can calmly dispatch and arrange the disaster relief in Chenzhou. ”

Gongsun Ce couldn't help nodding again and again, and said to Bao Zheng: "What Zhao Hu said is right, in this way, the adults are more sure to appease Chen Zhou." As long as the place of Chenzhou is settled down by adults, the matter of Uncle Pang Guo must be difficult for the official family to pursue. If the affairs of Chenzhou are uncertain, I am afraid that the adults will be in danger. ”

Bao Zheng waved his hand, "Before I left Beijing, I specially asked the official family to make three guillotines, only willing to ask for the people's lives, and never thought about protecting myself." It's strange, who has already got the first opportunity, and actually knows how to save the people of Chenzhou with work for relief? I want to thank him for that. ”

When Zhao Hu heard Bao Zheng's words, he said with admiration on his face: "Your Excellency is high-spirited, and the lower officials admire." I also asked, according to those people, it was the river envoy of Caoqiao Town, Xihua County, named Fan Yu. He specially sent people to Chenzhou, registered 200 households, and asked them to go to Caoqiao Town. It's just that there seem to be far more than 200 people here, and I'm afraid there will be a lot more. ”

Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce looked at each other, but it was still Fan Yu. Caoqiao Town governs the river, that's right.

"My lord, Fan Yu is just a fifteen-year-old boy, he actually has such courage!" Gongsun Ce was quite surprised, and several beards under his chin were broken.

"Extraordinary people will do extraordinary things." Bao Zheng nodded again and again, and said with a very appreciative look: "Brother Zhan's vision is good, he can know such a young man, he has the style of a benevolent and righteous man, and it is indeed a group of people who gather like things." These characters also make me very curious. ”

Gongsun Ce clapped his hands fiercely and said, "It's bad, although Fan Yu is brave and knowledgeable, he is a young man after all, and he is a little more disciplined." He only wanted to recruit 200 households, but many hungry people were gone at once. If we can't settle these hungry people properly, we are afraid that they will lead to chaos! ”

When he mentioned this, Bao Zheng was also a little worried. Chenzhou spent his time here safely, but Caoqiao Town made a fuss, which was also his dereliction of duty. What's more, this little brother Fan Yufan is also sharing his worries, he is very benevolent and righteous, and he must not let anything happen to him.

"Zhao Hu, you go and invite Brother Zhan, I have something to discuss with him." Bao Zheng said to Zhao Hu.

"Yes, sir." Zhao Hu bowed away.

After a while, Zhanzhao came to the front hall, "Master Bao is looking for me, but what about my little brother Fan?" ”

He had already heard about it from Zhao Hu, and out of concern, he didn't wait for Bao Zheng to speak, and he hurriedly asked when he entered the door.

Bao Zheng saw that Zhan Zhao was anxious, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother Zhan, don't worry, Brother Fan dares to appease the hungry people, so he should have some food in his hands." But the energy consumption is not clear for a few days. Therefore, please come to Brother Zhan and ask you to send him a batch of grain. ”

Zhan Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, hugged his fists and said: "It's still Lord Bao's thoughtfulness, so I can rest assured." I also ask Master Bao to write down the food transfer document immediately, and I can leave now. ”

Gongsun Ce smiled, "Brother Zhan, don't worry, your lord has already written the paperwork for relief, and is preparing to distribute it to the counties bordering Chenzhou." Not only Brother Zhan wants to transport food, but even Zhang Long, Zhao and Hu Dynasty Ma Han and them are not idle. ”

"In that case, please give your orders now." Zhan Zhao arched his hand and stood solemnly.

They were here to worry about Fan Yu, but Fan Yu watched a group of hungry people walking from the direction of Chenzhou, and his brows were about to twist together.

Two officials with ten men led the hungry people to an open space outside the town, and told them to build their own tents.

But Fan Yu found that the hungry people from Chenzhou seemed to be endless. Ten groups have been divided, 100 people in each group, and there are no less than 1,000 people.

But on the road to Chenzhou, it seems that people have not been broken.

Now the hungry people who have been divided into groups, plus the hundreds of hungry people who came over two days ago, this number has exceeded the number of people in the entire town of Caoqiao Town. If there are more, I am afraid that it will not be possible to command and control at all.

"Fan Xiaoguan, there are more and more of these guys, I'm afraid it's not easy to do." A servant came to Fan Yu and said with some panic.

"It's really hard." Fan Yu couldn't help but sigh and said, "There are so many people right now, I'm afraid I can't stop it." If they turn around and go back to Chenzhou, I'm afraid they will have to fight with us immediately. ”

The officer's face turned white, and he nodded again and again: "No, Fan Xiaoguan, you have an idea." I must think of a good way not to let the others suffer disaster as well. ”
