Hearing his daughter's moans, Wei Er woke up from his sleep. Although it was daytime, he was drowsy because of hunger.

"Huahua, what's wrong with you, tell Daddy!"

"Dad, I don't have any strength, I'm so hungry!"

Wei Er looked at his unkempt daughter's face, which was so hungry that she lost her shape, that tears fell.

"Huahua, you wait, dad will find you something to eat!"

"Okay, Daddy, you have to be careful."

Although her daughter is only five years old, she is smart and clever.

Wei Er wiped his tears and touched his daughter's head, but fortunately there was no head heat, so he was a little relieved.

Wearing the tattered cotton coat that did not cover his body, and touching the rusty short knife around his waist, he staggered down the mountain.

He remembered clearly that there was a manor at the foot of the mountain, occupied by dozens of bandits, and there should be food in it.

No matter what today, he has to get food, even if he doesn't want this life, he can't watch his daughter starve to death.

Creeping in the grass and looking at the manor below the mountain, Wei Er couldn't help but be surprised.

From the hillside, he could clearly see that the courtyard was littered with bloody corpses, and a team of sergeants in helmets and armor were cleaning up the scene.

"Could it be that Fanzi is here?"

Wei Er's brows furrowed, forgetting about hunger for a moment.

A group of young women came out of the room, weeping bitterly, and fell to their knees before the sergeant at the head of the group. The sergeant was very polite, and helped the woman in front of him up, and he didn't know what to say, and the women behind also stood up.

Wei Er was puzzled in his heart, he had never seen Fanzi like this to a young woman, even if it was Song Jun, there were few good goods.

Wei Er couldn't help but shake his head, he didn't know where these sergeants were.

He was in doubt, only to see a few horses galloping from the mountain road, the knights on the horses were all extremely vigorous, and the flags behind them were hunting in the wind, and the big "Song" characters were clearly visible on them.

"Sure enough, it's the officers and soldiers, I didn't expect them all to be here!"

Wei Er hurriedly hid his body. Once discovered by the other party, it is possible that he will be in a different place.

"The people on the mountain have listened well, the loyal army has recovered Taiyuan City, and all the people of the Great Song Dynasty can return to Taiyuan City, and porridge is being given outside the city!"

"Wang Xianggong led the army to conquer Taiyuan, the city is giving porridge, all my people of the Great Song Dynasty, return to Taiyuan City, there is food!"

The sergeants shouted loudly all the way, Wei Er heard it clearly, he was still hesitating, and the countless figures beside him had already drilled out and went straight to the mountain road.

"Wang Xianggong, a living bodhisattva who saves the suffering!"

"The Loyal Righteous Army, I can count on you for it!"

Countless refugees knelt on the mountain road, densely packed, and countless people wept bitterly and kowtowed.

"Folks, rest assured to go to Taiyuan, there are soldiers of my loyal army stationed at all post road checkpoints, folks, don't worry!"

Wei Er's heart was beating wildly, he quickly stood up and ran towards where his daughter was.

Taiyuan City, after the street battle in the first year of Jingkang, coupled with the huge destruction of gunpowder when the loyal army entered the city, the city was full of ruins and broken walls, rubble can be seen everywhere, yellow and white things can be seen everywhere, and the city is dilapidated and rancid.

What's more, some inaccessible side streets and alleys, or in stinky ditches, are full of bones, stench, flies and bugs everywhere, and you can't even step into it.

"Let the soldiers clean the city first, how can such a place be inhabited!"

Wang Song turned a few streets, and his brows furrowed more and more. In such a harsh environment, I don't know how these guys survived?

Are they born with extraordinary talents, so they are not afraid of the spread of this disease?

"First of all, tear down all these broken walls and clean up the rubble and other materials. When the city wall is finished, the streets and houses in the city will be rebuilt, which is really too broken!"

On the ruined walls on both sides of the street, there is a large "×" number painted on them, indicating that these broken walls will be bulldozed and rebuilt. In fact, in Taiyuan City, which has gone through the war, perhaps except for the buildings of the yamen, other dwellings will have to be rebuilt.

Fortunately, the sewer system in the city is still sound, which also makes the reconstruction of Taiyuan City easier.

Yes, it is reconstruction, just as it was done after a natural catastrophe. and houses, roads, gutters, and broken walls.

"Gong Chen, you plan well, east, west, north and south, the roads are spacious, and the houses are neat. Public toilets, public ...... Forest garden, greening tree ......"

Wang Song thought about it according to the appearance of the city in later generations, medical and health care, school education, shops and residences, etc., as for possible factories or workshops, they were all built outside the city.

He added: "First of all, roads, public toilets and schools, if you want Taiyuan City to be clean, you must have free public toilets." The children must not be abandoned, they must go to the school!"

The restoration of Taiyuan City means that a large number of people will enter Taiyuan from mountainous and remote areas, and how can it be accommodated without an impregnable majestic city.

"Ma Xuanzan, have the soldiers sent out to post notices and inform the people that they have returned?"

To build Taiyuan New Town, a large number of laborers must be required. Taiyuan City under the occupation of the Jin people, the residents of the city have already been slaughtered, the people from all over the country have fled into the mountains, and now Taiyuan City is recovered, to appease the people, let the people return to the city, it is also imminent.

After all, it is impossible to rely only on the soldiers of the loyal army to repair the city, after all, it is necessary to garrison to ensure the security of Taiyuan City, in case the Jurchen army disturbs it.

"Don't worry, the sergeants have been sent out, and notices have been posted all over the prefectures and counties around Taiyuan, and now a large number of people have returned."

Wang Song nodded emphatically. In troubled times, the most important thing is food. Taiyuan City has rice to help, and under the rule of the loyal army, the people will naturally make a choice.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the gate of the West City, there were already thousands of ragged and thin-skinned people gathered outside the city, including men, women, and children.

If you don't look closely, the people are no different from beggars. The only difference is that they don't have a job in their hands.

"Su Can, you beggars help tens of millions of disciples, how can you let me rest assured!"

"The number of beggar disciples is not decided by me, but by you. If you are really wise and powerful, you can make the country and the people safe, and the ghost is willing to be a beggar!"

Inadvertently, the movie lines of later generations came into Wang Song's mind.

The Jin people invaded the south, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty suffered more than 10 million. The two rivers alone are already tens of millions, and if you add Shaanxi, Shandong, Henan, and Huaibei, there are as many as 20 million or 30 million people.

If the emperor and the ministers of the court can really make the country and the people safe, how can the Great Song Dynasty become like this, slaughtered by others, and wantonly humiliated.

An avalanche comes, and not a single snowflake is innocent.

Wang Song couldn't help but feel a little confused. Could it be that everything he is doing now is just a rootless ping, a flower in the mirror, and a moon in the water, and there is no possibility of success at all?

"Xianggong, how are you, is it because you are unwell?"

Ma Kuo saw that Wang Song's face was wrong, and asked with concern.

"Nothing, just thoughtful."

Wang Song shook his head and stepped out of the city gate.

Seeing Wang Song hugging out, the people hurriedly stepped aside.

"Give soup to the people immediately!"

Wang Song frowned again. Today's inspection, everything is a rage.

"In the future, you will see what you can do. How difficult the people's livelihood is, don't chill the hearts of the people!"

Chen Dong and Ouyang Che both blushed on their faces, and bowed together and said, "Obey the teachings of the Prime Minister, and the officials will do it when they wait."

In the past few days, there has been an endless stream of rebels who have come to take refuge, and the two of them have been busy collecting the army, but they have neglected the refugee affairs.

The sergeant went out and shouted to the refugees, which drew a cheer.

"It's really the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army, then the general just now must be Wang Xianggong!"

Several leading coarse-clothed old men shouted to the crowd: "Everyone, let's kneel down together and thank the prince."

The people knelt down together, kowtowed, and the cheers came and went, deafening.

Wang Song was helpless, stepped forward to help up a few old people in front of him, and said loudly: "Folks, this official is Wang Song, the loyal and righteous army is late, and you have suffered!"

"Wang Xianggong, why did you come!"

"Wang Xianggong, a living bodhisattva!"

The people cried, the soldiers next to them all had slightly red eyes, and some people shed tears.

"Xianggong, there is still a house in the small city, can you return the house to the villain then?"

In the crowd, someone suddenly asked.

Ma Kuo shook his head and said, "Fellow villagers, Taiyuan City has been destroyed in ruins by the Jin people. If you have a title deed, when the government rebuilds the house, you can go and get a set yourself. ”

The man was so excited that he was about to kneel and kowtow, but was stopped by Wang Song.

"Wandering people like you, no matter how many there are, persuade them to come back, for this is their home."

The city of Taiyuan was broken, the Jurchens slaughtered the city, and the rest of them must have escaped before the Jurchens besieged the city. For two years, I have been sinned.

"Xianggong, the people in Hedong, there are thousands of people fleeing from the mountains, but the people in Taiyuan City, I'm afraid there are not a few households left."

The man's expression was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "The villain used to have a shop, and the Jin people escaped before the siege of the city, and wandered outside for two years, and their parents died on the way to escape."

"Xianggong, Jia Laosan is already good!"

A person next to him continued: "Which people who did not escape were slaughtered by Fanzi when they were fighting the enemy in Taiyuan City, and there was no one left alive." What a sin! ”

Wang Song was also gloomy. Taiyuan City resisted for more than 200 days, with no food and no reinforcements, but it wrote the most tragic page in Chinese history.

"Fellow villagers, rest assured, since the Loyal and Righteous Army is here, they will stay until all the fans are driven out of Hedong!"

Wang Song said loudly: "The villagers also have to live well." I have to believe that everyone's life will be better!"

Ma Kuo also said loudly: "Folks, Taiyuan City is going to be rebuilt, and everyone is here to help, there is food to eat, and there is a salary, do you say it's okay?"

"Wang Xianggong is really a bodhisattva! Long live Wang Xianggong!"

Overjoyed refugees knelt down and bowed together.

"Gong Chen, the civil affairs of Taiyuan City, you and Ouyang Gong together, arrest them first."

Wang Song said in a deep voice: "My request is also very simple, from today onwards, no one in Taiyuan City can starve to death, no one can freeze to death, can you two do it?"

Chen Dong and the two bowed together: "Xianggong is benevolent and righteous, and the two of us will do our best not to disappoint Xianggong!"

Wang Song nodded slightly. Xiongguan Mandao, now we have to start from scratch.
