Chapter Seventy-Two: Absorbing Villagers from Other Villages

The road guide is a kind of pass issued by the local government, which allows Liu Xian to go to other places to conduct business transactions in the name of the Liufu caravan in Liulin Village.

In fact, it is equivalent to giving Liu Xian and his caravan an official identity certificate.

With this, it can be proved that Liu Xian and his caravan are not those wandering Yellow Turban bandits, nor are they those bandits and robbers whose identities are unknown.

In this ancient era, although the people were simple and simple, they could not harm others and have the heart of guarding against others, and it was impossible to believe you completely just by talking about it.

Especially in the current situation, how can a place be cautious, how can ordinary people who are not of unknown origin dare to easily introduce him into their homes?

Now with this official guide, Liu Xian can go where he wants to go in a dignified manner.

After Liang Ji led the official road to Liu Xian, he then said with a sad expression: "Young master, now that the imperial court has just been rebuilt, it can be said that it is in ruins, and the government of Xiatao County is even more short of people and materials, especially food, so ...... There is no food to support us in Liulin Village. In fact, the people of Xiatao County are also in a state of serious food shortage, and many people are starving to death every day. ”

"Young master, we not only saw the situation in Julu County, the situation in Xiatao County, but also the situation in Guangzong, which our subordinates deliberately observed. Now Guangzong, similar to the situation in Julu County, the rebel army has basically left, only the officers and soldiers of the imperial court are guarding the town, and the government is still in a state of control but laissez-faire for those people. No one cares whether the people live or die. ”

At this time, Yu Jin also said to Liu Xian with a slightly sad expression.

"Well......" Liu Xian sat in the main seat in the hall, listening to the two of them, and felt a little uncomfortable.

He also knew that Julu, Guangzong, and Xiatao counties happened to be at the center of this Yellow Turban riot. The people there are definitely not all related to the Yellow Turban Army, but who cares about them now?

The officers and soldiers of the imperial court will definitely carry out a strict control over those people, and it will definitely not work to leave, let alone make trouble. Everyone can only stay where they are, stay in their own houses, and if the government does not redefine them for a new identity, then they are all sinners, relatives of the Yellow Turban Army or clansmen who are related to each other.

They were trapped in place, unable to walk, unable to work, without food or drink, and had to figure out their own way. During this period, cannibalism incidents were common.

Liu Xian asked them to get up and sit down and talk, and after thinking for a while, he said: "It's okay if the government can't help us with some food, you can handle the household registration of the villagers of our Liulin Village when you go to Xiatao County this time, and get this Liufu caravan guide for us, which is already a great achievement." Remember your merits first. ”

"As for food, we have to figure it out on our own. In addition, the people of Julu County, Guangzong, Xiatao County and other places, although we sympathize with their suffering, we don't need to worry and feel sorry for them. After all, in the current situation, we can only take care of our own Liulin Village first, and there is nothing else we can do, and it is not our turn to worry. This is called not being in his position and not seeking his own government. ”

"However, you can also rest assured, now that General Huangfu Song is in charge there, I believe that the people in those places will soon be properly dealt with. I believe that it will not be long before the order of the entire Julu County will be re-established. ”

Liu Xian said in the end, and comforted Liang Ji and them again.

Liu Xian knew that they had gone to Julu and Xiatao County, and the situation they saw must have been extremely miserable. That's why they look so sad.

"I hope so......" Liang Ji got up and said silently.

"Tell us about Liulin Village." Liu Xiandao: "In the three or four days that you have been in Xiatao County, we have also done some things, and for the time being, the food in our Liulin Village should be fine." Specifically, let Ning'er and Xiaojing tell you later. ”

"Oh? Could it be that in the past few days of our absence, you have already gotten food, young master? Liang Ji perked up and hurriedly asked.

"There is no general food, but there is meat, although we can't always eat meat, but there is no problem to eat for a while, not to mention, with this meat, we originally had some food, so that we can barely sustain it. Now, I have another idea, which is to open a restaurant and inn, specifically, and let Ning'er and them tell you. ”

Liu Xianyang raised the official road in his hand and said, "Now this is what I'm waiting for." I'm going to go to Yangshi County now to check on the situation and determine what we should do next. ”

"Young master, are you going to Yang County now? Then the old man will accompany you. Liang Ji hurriedly proposed.

"No, I'm just going to Yang County to check on the situation now. You and Brother Yu have just come back from Xiatao County, and they must be tired, so let's stay. Besides, there is another task for you to do. ”

"Oh? Please command, young master. ”

"Hmm......" Liu Xian pondered for a while and said, "Uncle, you know my identity, everything I do now is for the future." So, we have to develop it as soon as possible. According to my plan, there are too many things to do in Liulin Village, such as weaving, making ready-to-wear, weaving, and now planning to open a restaurant inn, etc., and there may be more things to do in the future, which will require a lot of manpower. What I am going to do now is basically the work that can be done by some of the villagers' women, and through these work, they can support themselves with these skills in the future. ”

"That's just one aspect. The most important thing is to expand the scale of our Self-Defense Force, which, from now on, will be called the Liufu Caravan in Liulin Village. Because we don't have enough strength to protect, we can't do these things, and if we do, maybe one day we will be targeted by others, and we will come and take them away. So, this has to be done at the same time. ”

"Uncle, you are not only highly respected in our Liulin Village, I believe that you also have a certain reputation in the nearby villages, I think after you have rested, tomorrow, let Brother Yu Jin and a few of them protect you, go to the nearby villages to take a look, if there are still people in those villages, and the situation is not good, you can tell them, persuade them, let them take refuge in our Liulin Village." Regardless of men, women and children, we accept them all, and we dare not say anything else, at least we can let them live. ”

"Really?" Liang Ji looked excited and incredulous.

"Naturally, it's true, the people in Julu County, Xiatao County and other places are too far away from us, and there is nothing we can do, and besides, we can't interfere, but we can still take care of some villages near our Liulin Village. They need food, they need to survive, and we need people to develop. So it's a good thing for us and them to take them in, so why not? ”

"Young master is benevolent! This is to save the people from fire and water, and the merit is immeasurable. Young master, the old man is not tired, if the young master is really sure that he can feed so many people, the old man will rush to the nearby village to inspect now. ”

Liang Ji suddenly looked full of energy, and the fatigue that he had just returned from Xiatao County was gone.
