In the past two days, the army has passed through many villages along the way, but this is the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the area with the strongest dominance, and the people are stable and trust the imperial court, so they are not too panicked, which is a good thing.

Every time Zhu Biao passed by a village, he asked people to ask for the call, and talked to the local village elders, whether there were orphans, widows or redundant young people in the village, and the imperial court was now going to move the people to the fields, and when they arrived at the place, they would distribute the acres according to the heads.

The arable land of a village is limited, and if the population is large, it is normal that it cannot be fed, but after passing through seven or eight villages, it has also gathered a hundred orphans, more than ten young and strong, and none of the women.

They still don't trust the army, otherwise this number is not much if it is multiplied several times, orphans have no one to care about sending them away, young and strong people are afraid of being caught, widows needless to say, how dare they go to a barracks full of men.

Zhu Biao went to see it in person, and the children were both male and female, but most of them were girls, most of them were under the age of ten, and they looked thin and thin.

Zhu Biao let the doctors take a look, there are more than 20 disabled children, most of the village is interrelated, and it is not surprising that there are still disabled children, it is good that they are still alive, the poor in the township have their own set of cruel laws, I am afraid that the vast majority of disabled children are born to death.

There are no major problems with the remaining more than 70 people, but they are too thin, and there is a young man who is the same age as Zhu Biao, but his size has only reached Zhu Biao's chest, and he is as thin as a hemp stalk.

Zhu Biao frowned and looked at it, and told the gang to focus on taking care of them, and the imperial doctor also used some medicine, and the malnourished ones were easy to say, but this disability was really a headache.

There is naturally no pressure to feed them, these children are very sensible, and they are cautious to observe the faces of everyone, even more so disabled children, who dare not eat more, for fear that they will eat too much and be left behind.

Zhu Biao doesn't look at it, and before leaving, he still has to settle them down, it is best to let them have a skill, they can eat enough, if they understand the unity, support each other and learn from each other's strengths, they will be able to survive after all.

When the army was stationed, Chang Mao led the light horse back, instructed Zhang Fan to properly settle the people he brought back, and walked to Zhu Biao to salute, Zhu Biao said with his hands behind his back: "How about this time?" ”

Chang Mao replied: "There is a Wangjiazhuang nearby, all of them have the same surname, and only thirteen disabled children have been taken in, but there is also a widow who leads the young girls and asks to take them away, and the village is unwilling to let them go, hehe." ”

Zhu Biao also had a spirit after hearing this, this is difficult at the beginning, there are one and two, and it is easy to talk in the future, the widows in this village have always been a vulnerable group, not to mention being bullied, because of the ignorance and prejudice of the villages, it is also difficult to remarry, which is extremely annoying for Zhu Biao.

As for why this widow is so resolute, it is not difficult to guess, a widow has only one little daughter, which can be regarded as a dead end, since Wangjiazhuang is all a surname, those relatives will not let go of the opportunity to eat out of the house, if it is not forced to be cornered, no one will come here.

Zhu Biao instructed: "Be cautious, tell them to go down, no one should disturb them easily, give them independent tents, let her sit with those young children during the march, and ask her to help take care of them."

Chang Mao nodded and promised, Zhu Biao calculated, tomorrow will almost arrive at Luzhou Mansion, there will be thousands of people in it just to ask for food, Zhu Biao plans to take them all away, there are sick treatments, the young ones recuperate, and the disabled will also arrange something for them to do.

If he is a lazy scoundrel, then he is embarrassed, he is forcibly taken away, and when he does not work in the field, he will be smoked, and when he is as diligent as a donkey, he will be given land, and if he is not satisfied, he can rebel.

At noon the next day, when they arrived at the territory of Luzhou Mansion, their officials of the fourth rank and above had already gone to the city fifty miles away to wait to meet His Royal Highness the Prince, and they were ready to invite His Royal Highness into the city to rest.

Zhu Biao sent them a letter the day before yesterday, so the orphans, beggars, and orphans and widows in the city who couldn't survive had been brought, and Zhu Biao was saved from sending troops into the city.

Zhu Biao spent an hour having a meal with the magistrates, and he got to know each other, although Zhu Biao didn't want to waste time in the city, but these officials were also the pillars of the imperial court, since they took the initiative to show him their hearts, Zhu Biao naturally would not be too cold.

Then the army set off, Zhu Biao also received the letter left by Zhu Fan and Zhu Di, they checked the granary of Luzhou Mansion, there was no problem, they had already set off for other places.

Zhu Biao is not surprised, Luzhou Mansion is too close to the capital, and they can respond immediately if there is a slight disturbance, even if there is a deficit, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent King Qi of Jin to investigate, and he had to make up for it out of his own pocket.

After walking for two days, the army stopped, encountered the torrential rain, fortunately Chang Mao found a village that had been deserted, and finally had a place to shelter from the rain, Zhu Biao first placed the children well, and placed valuables such as food and medicinal materials, which were soaked but had an accident.

Fortunately, the soldiers took advantage of the fact that the rain was slightly weak, and hurriedly began to open the wall to collect materials to expand the roof, their tents have the effect of sheltering from the rain, but they still can't withstand this kind of rainstorm, so they must have shelter from the head.

Fortunately, the 30,000 elite troops were extremely efficient no matter what they did, and the distance between the houses in the village was not far away, Zhu Biao saw that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, so he hurriedly let the fire boil the water, and each house had a stove, and after putting the cauldron in the army, the imperial doctors put some ginger slices and other cold herbs in it.

Nearly an hour later, more than 30,000 people finally have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and this village has also changed their strange shape, Zhu Biao is naturally fine, but the soldiers who took off their robes couldn't stop shivering, and they felt a mouthful of ginger soup when they touched the rain on their faces.

Zhu Biao led the people around, and instructed Li Jin on the side: "Let's cook, make more soup with water, let the imperial doctor add more cold herbs, don't be stingy,

Li Jin took the order and left, and Fu Zhong outside walked in and said, "Your Highness, the horses have been placed, and the roof of the shed is also very strong. ”

Zhu Biao stepped on his feet slightly, smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go drink more ginger soup." ”

Fu Zhongle nodded, he was burly, the clothes in this army were too small for him, and his body was almost wet, although he didn't feel much cold, but His Highness asked him to drink it.

Zhu Biao walked to the side of the women and children again, the two imperial doctors were watching, and the women and children looked at Zhu Biao with awe and dependence.

And they can also feel that Zhu Biao is taking care of them everywhere, so they are particularly moved, the Wang family from Wangjiazhuang is more knowledgeable and courageous, holding his daughter and kneeling on the ground: "The concubine is waiting to kowtow to the prince." ”
