Ning Yu was prepared to endure hardships this time, so after entering Yunyang, he didn't even enter Yunxian, and directly put aside Guo Chong, took his own people, and began to visit the counties.

The government of Yunyang Mansion is located in Yun County, in addition to Zhushan, Fang County, Zhuxi, Baokang and Yunxi five counties, Ning Yu passed Yun County without entering, and went straight to Yunxi, which made Ning Si, the accompanying guard battalion commander, puzzled, so he asked: "Major General, this Yun County is just in front of you, why don't you go and take a look?" ”

Ning Yu smiled and patiently explained: "Yun County, as the government of Xunyang, must be the best developed among the counties, so there is no need to go to see it first, after reading the following five counties, and then look at Yun County, I am afraid it will feel different." ”

Ning Si smiled, "It turns out that the young general is like eating the sugar cane, starting from the bitter end, and the sweeter it gets after eating, but now the little one understands." ”

Ning Yu couldn't laugh or cry, although Ning Si's words were superficial, but after all, it was the same thing. However, in Ning Yu's vision, there is another point, that is, inspecting the five counties can more clearly understand the current Xunyang Mansion, and the development of Yun County may make him blind.

In the early spring of February, the temperature was gradually rising, and the soldiers felt that their hands and feet were a little warmer, although the road was a little difficult and dangerous, and the army could be started faster, but after a day's work, they rushed to Yunxi.

After arriving in Yunxi, Ning Yu's brows furrowed tightly, because the situation was even more severe than he imagined, and the entire Yunxi County was full of some grass huts and sheds, and a large number of homeless people gathered here to survive.

When these homeless people saw Ning Yu and others, they fell to the ground in a panic, one by one with a dish on their faces, from their ragged clothes can clearly see their thin bodies, some children stood in the distance with tree branches, did not play and play, just looked at Ning Yu and others with a fearful face, there are few outsiders here will come.

Looking at these people, Ning Yu felt a little powerless for the first time, he had a lot to say, but what could he do? In the face of such a situation, it is useless to say anything, what they need is real land, real food, real belly.

And these are exactly what the current Ning Yu can't provide, of course, Ning Yu can also ignore it, just like the officials of the Qing court, put the life and death of these people behind for the time being, as long as there is no chaos, but is it really okay? According to Ning Yu's recollections, in a few decades, a world-shaking uprising of displaced people will cause a serious blow to the Qing court.

If Ning Yu hadn't dealt with the disaster situation and the displaced people here, then this force would naturally be the Fu Han Army itself. Only by giving them a bite to eat can we change this situation.

When Ning Yu was thinking, there was a sudden commotion in front of him, which made the guards around him nervous, many people were talking about it, and they glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, which made Ning Yu a little puzzled, so he couldn't help but step forward and saw an old man whipping a teenager.

The young man was dressed in rags, although his body was also scarred, but his face was as resolute as iron, and he didn't snort at all, as the whip continued to fall on the young man's body, making blood marks, but the crowd around him tried their best to dissuade the old man and let his subordinates show mercy.

The old man didn't care at all, but he hit harder than the other, and muttered: "Baby, this is your life!" Don't blame me old Hanle! ”

The young man finally couldn't bear it, and fainted under the whip of the old man, but before he passed out, he subconsciously protected the person behind him, it was an unkempt little girl, no more than eleven or twelve years old, and her eyes were full of fear when she looked at everyone.

The old man finally stopped the whip, looked at the crowd and walked around, then focused his eyes on Ning Yu, walked a few steps to Ning Yu's side, and then knelt down directly, put his forehead on the ground, and knocked out a few red marks.

"Please let the young master live! The old man really can't help it! If there was not even a glimmer of hope, how could the old man sell his own little girl? As he spoke, the old man burst into tears, looking a little pitiful and a little angry.

Ning Yu probably understood a little bit in his heart, I was afraid that it would be another tragic incident of betraying his son and daughter, so he sighed deeply and said, "How do you want me to save you?" ”

Hearing the ease in Ning Yu's tone, the old man was overjoyed, pushed the little girl behind him over, and said loudly: "Young master, I'll sell her to you, just ask you to give a few taels of silver, just have a meal to eat, and the old man will thank you for your great kindness!" ”

People in troubled times are not as good as dogs in prosperous times, but the people here have hardly lived a few good days.

Ning Yu's heart tightened slightly, and he subconsciously pointed his finger at the young man, "What about him?" ”

Unexpectedly, the old man was nervous for a while, and took the fainted young man in his arms, and he didn't dare to anger Ning Yu, but just said in a low voice: "He doesn't sell, he doesn't sell." ”

This favoritism made Ning Yu a little annoyed, "Hmph, selling a daughter to raise a child, you have a good calculation!" ”

However, the old man's behavior was understood by many people around him, some said that 'the adopted child can be sent to the end when the time comes', and some said 'passing on the ancestry', ignoring the little girl's dull eyes and frightened look.

The old man looked sad, sat on the ground and cried loudly, rubbed the past events into his chest, and then said it one by one.

It turned out that the young man was originally his eldest brother's son, but later the family starved to death, leaving this baby, and since then he has been begging for a living with the old man. But in the past two years, there has been no food to eat, and the old man is unwilling to live up to the trust of his eldest brother, so he wants to sell his little daughter to support the young man.

After these words, Ning Yu was a little dumbfounded, he thought he was wise, and he often measured everyone by the common darkness in the world, but now he has learned a lesson.

The old man sold his biological daughter, just to support the eldest brother and entrust it to his nephew temporarily, in this era, it will only be called affectionate and righteous, if Ning Yu blocks it, it will cause criticism.

"Don't sell it! I'll give you a way out. ”

Just when the old man was surprised, Ning Yu stood on a hillside, and the people below all looked at the young general blankly, and they were extremely quiet for a while.

"My name is Ning Yu, and I am the major general of the Fu Han Army, and I promise you."

"Give me three years, and you won't starve to death again."

"Give me three years, and you can live in the world with dignity!"

Ning Si looked at his young master, and suddenly understood in his heart that the young master used to recite a sentence in the past.

The big husband walks in the world, the poor are good alone, and the good is good for the world.
