Chapter 97: Soup kitchen

"Platoon commander, look, the county seat is ahead."

Zhang Lin has not been to the county seat of Maoming Mansion, seeing this county, a little disappointed, because the city wall is in disrepair, washed by the rain is very dilapidated, the city gate does not need to be said, I don't know how long it has not been replaced, looking at it is tattered.

There were hundreds of people wandering around the city gates, and when they saw passers-by, they went up the hill to beg for something, and those who passed by should not be seen, and hurried by.

The volunteers walked by, and the homeless people who originally wanted to go to the front were so frightened that they hurriedly hid aside and didn't dare to come forward, why, when they saw the volunteers, they were not easy to provoke, and they stepped forward to provoke the other party, and they would still be killed if they stabbed them with a shot.

Zhang Lin saw that there was an empty place not far away, where was it more appropriate to give porridge, the chief had already thought of a plan, first use the soup soup to let the homeless people come over, and then the homeless people called the propaganda recruitment conditions. Zhang Lin believed that the volunteers would give porridge here, and it would not take half an hour for such a good thing to be known, and the entire county would know about it, and there would definitely be many homeless people rushing over at that time.

But there don't seem to be many homeless people here!

Zhang Lin: "Li Si, go find a homeless person to come over." ”

Soon, Li Si chose a more clever homeless among the homeless people.

"My lord, you, are you looking for a little one?" The homeless came and knelt down.

Zhang Lin: "Get up and speak." ”

There is nothing strange about the behavior of the homeless, if he had not joined the Volunteer Army, he would have seen so many officers and soldiers, he would definitely kneel down first. Don't ask why, that's the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

When an ordinary person sees a person with an official position or a military position, he doesn't kneel down first and wait for his leg to be broken, and he doesn't dare to look at the other party when his leg is broken, otherwise the consequence will be a knife coming over, an ordinary person is just an ordinary person, and it can't turn the sky upside down, as for no one will help the people to make decisions, think too much, who will make a powerful adult for a people with no status!

Zhang Lin: "I heard that there are a lot of displaced people in the county, why are there only 100 people?" ”

The homeless man bent down and replied humbly, "My lord, there are many people, they were not allowed to enter the county seat before, the county lord ran away a few days ago, no one presided over the affairs of the county, many people ran into the county to beg for food, and the villain saw so many people entering, so he stayed." ”

Zhang Lin breathed a sigh of relief, just someone is fine, I thought that just these people, when the time comes, I will only go back with such a few people, won't it disappoint the chief!

Zhang Lin: "Give you ten cents to help us do things." ”

If the chief goes out, needless to say, he will directly throw one or two pieces of silver, but he Zhang Lin is not so generous, it is not bad to give ten cents, and it is the "tradition" of the volunteers to find someone to do things and give money.

The homeless man took the copper coin, was a little stunned, and then knelt down again and kowtowed to Zhang Lin.

"Okay, what's your name?"

Wei Shu "Adult, small one is called Wei Shu." ”

"Go and call someone!"

Wei Shu walked away and came to his accomplice, "Third brother, our good luck is coming, the adults over there have to find hundreds of people to maintain order, there are ten copper plates to take, you go over quickly." "I'm afraid that the third brother won't believe it, so I opened my hand and let him see it.

Wei Zhu saw the copper coin of the fifth child, and immediately ran to Zhang Lin's side, nonsense, if you have money, of course you will take the money first.

After the third brother passed, Wei Shu tore open his throat and shouted loudly, and the content of the shouting was what Zhang Lin said just now.

Then it exploded in the hundreds of homeless people, who stayed outside the county seat, did not expect to encounter such a good thing, and then rushed forward in a swarm.

When the displaced people were almost gathered, Zhang Lin stood on the ox cart and shouted, "We are from Zhangjia Village, we want to recruit people to work, and those who go back to Zhangjia Village with us to work will have a salary of 15 yuan a day and three dry meals." Wait for us to give porridge, you help us maintain order, if anyone dares to mess around, they will beat me with a stick, and there is also the propaganda I just said that Zhangjia Village is recruiting. ”

"If you help me do things, I will naturally not give you less wages, ten cents per person. All lined up for me. ”

The displaced people below don't know what to line up, so their own volunteers come forward and let the displaced people line up one by one, as long as they come forward, they will be given ten cents, among which the stronger ones, after leading the copper coin, give them a wooden stick, and will help maintain order later.

Among them, the old people, the small children, and the woman, after receiving the copper coin, let them enter the county seat, publicize the news that the volunteers will give meat porridge later, there is no difficulty in such a thing, the child who received the copper coin, the woman naturally happily entered the county town, and publicized the news of the volunteers, so that they can have an income of ten cents, which is simply a pie in the sky.

Zhang Lin asked that Wei Shu to come over, "How many homeless people are there in the county?" ”

Wei Shu replied cautiously, "My lord, there are thousands of people, and this place was crowded with people before." ”

Zhang Lin estimated the scene, it was crowded with people, and it was not enough to have five or six thousand people.

Zhang Lin urgently arranged manpower to prepare for the influx of displaced people.

The displaced people, who had just received the copper coins, waited in front of the city gate with wooden sticks, ignoring the other people who came in and out, and their task was to divide the displaced people, and then make them wait in line, and whoever dared to disobey them would be beaten with wooden sticks.

If the order of thousands of people is not maintained, it will be troublesome for the volunteers to be dispersed by them, after all, there are really thousands of displaced people to attack, and the hundreds of volunteers can't withstand it.

Instructed the people from Zhangjiacun to enter the county seat to buy pots and prepare to boil porridge.

The expected homeless people soon appeared, and at first there were only fast runners, followed by a group of people.

Wei Shu was holding a wooden stick, and now there were volunteers behind him to support him, so he didn't have anything to worry about the displaced people who came over, plus he also knew that those people wanted to have a full meal.

"You, come here, go this way, if you want to drink porridge, wait for me, don't make trouble, otherwise Lao Tzu will beat you to death."

After saying that, they used wooden sticks to intimidate the male man, and the volunteers mainly watched them, because in terms of their combat effectiveness, if they made trouble, it was the men among the homeless people who made trouble, and the probability of other old people, children, and women making trouble was much smaller, as long as they watched the men.

Wei Shu selected the stronger men among the homeless people and let them line up alone, and the rest of the women and the old people asked them to line up separately.

The displaced people came over and waited in line according to the idea of the volunteers, and when the displaced people saw the angry stove in front of them, they also sat down and waited with peace of mind, and dozens of cauldrons were built in front of them, and they were starting to cook gruel, which made them feel at ease.

Zhang Lin saw that the order at the scene was good, and asked the hired women and the elderly to start publicizing why the porridge was given.

The homeless people who sat underground and waited, soon knew what happened, it turned out to be a big family called Zhangjia Village, to recruit people to do things, come here to recruit people to work, the daily treatment made the homeless people excited, there are fifteen pennies to take, and they can eat three full meals, for the homeless people who have not eaten a full meal for I don't know how long, it is really tempting.

In order to reassure everyone, the head of the family has a soup kitchen, and when everyone receives the porridge, they will reward everyone with a penny, although a penny is not much, but it also shows that the financial resources of the head of the family are not, so many people here, each person has a penny, it will cost a few big money.

If you haven't done anything, you're willing to come up with a few big bucks, so what's not to worry about doing things with such a person.

Most of the displaced people have decided to go to see, there is no way to live in the county, the county lord used to stabilize the displaced people, and he would give porridge once a day, I heard that the county lord has run away, and the soup soup is gone.

It's okay to enter the county, but no one will help the homeless, so don't expect them to take out the food, and when they are about to despair, they meet a large family to recruit people to do things, of course, except for a small number of homeless people who are bent on waiting for help in the county, they don't know what the mentality is, they just don't want to leave the county.

The volunteers at the scene held spears and kept patrolling among the homeless, and by the way, they selected 500 honest homeless people again to help maintain order.

Half an hour later, Zhang Lin took a spoon and scooped a spoonful of fish porridge to see, it was okay, the fish meat was already boiled.

The fish is the salted fish left over from yesterday, and the chief doesn't like to eat it, so he asked Zhang Lin to pull it over, and let the homeless people eat fish porridge more sincerely than eat white porridge!

Zijian is so sincere, you guys don't hurry up to the bowl.
