Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Drunken Immortal

Yuzhou City

There is joy and prosperity inside and outside the city!

With the capture of the Average Sect and the promulgation of the New Deal in time, a large number of people gathered from all around, all wanting to see if they could find their hope in the city of Yuzhou. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Of course, there are also many people who are completely suffering and unable to survive and run to Yuzhou City to get a meal.

The Temporary Disaster Relief and Relief Committee was set up to make effective arrangements for the population of non-Chongqing cities, strictly screening each family or each person's different circumstances, and preparing to make effective arrangements. This move has undoubtedly been supported by many people, even the residents of Yuzhou City, who have been worried, have also stood up at this time to support the action of teaching Yuzhou City equally.

According to the preliminary statistics of the Temporary Disaster Relief and Relief Committee, the number of people fleeing and coming to Yuzhou outside the city has reached an astonishing nearly 20,000 people, old and young. The eating of 20,000 mouths undoubtedly immediately increased the pressure on Yuzhou City, and also increased the responsibility on the shoulders of the average teacher. It is also necessary to guard against the silent resistance of the residents of Yuzhou City, and also to prevent the chaos of the displaced people.

As the plenipotentiary representative of the Great Han State in Shuzhong, Yang Huai was not only responsible for the actions of the secret party in Shuzhong, but also managed and contacted the progress of the average sect at any time. Regarding the setting up of the base in Yuzhou City, when he was in Xingwangfu, Liu Jixing discussed it with everyone. In the end, according to the importance of history and the key to Yuzhou City in later generations, Liu Jixing suggested that Yang Huai set up a base in Shuzhong in Yuzhou City.

The concealment of the average teaching is necessary for the time being. Regarding the current achievements of the average teaching in Shuzhong, Yang Huai knows that it is inseparable from Liu Jixing's layout, and naturally he is more convinced and respectful of Liu Jixing. For the sake of the benign development of the overall situation, Wei Yiren was first appointed as the commander-in-chief of the West Road, and let him conduct large-scale military training in Yuzhou City. Of course, this is also out of respect for Wei Yiren's predecessors.

At the end of April, he called on most of the members of the secret party in Shuzhong to take full action. Finally, a notice was issued to the leaders of the states to assemble people in Yuzhou City, and they must be in place on May 2 to convene the first congress of the members of the Shuzhong Secret Party.

Time flies, and although many people do not know about the actions of the secret party, representatives from all parts of the secret party have arrived one after another. A total of 21 party members in Shu attended this meeting, and although most people did not know the content of the meeting, the stability and development of Shuzhong was inseparable from this congress. Later generations called this meeting the first congress of the secret party in Yuzhong.

Subsequently, at this meeting, as the representative of the Yuzhou City Secret Party and the average sect, Peng Quanqing was elected as the first assassin of Yuzhou City. After gaining the trust of his comrades, Peng Quanqing immediately took office and immediately assigned and arranged for people to arrange various affairs in Yuzhou City.

As a representative of the first congress of the Yuzhou City Secret Party, Xiao Hui was elected as the first Sima of Yuzhou City. As the owner of the Average Sect Altar, he also has to garrison the security and development of Yuzhou City. The important thing is to replace the Wei Yi people and master the military power of Yuzhou City. Re-arrange the defense of Yuzhou City to prevent the Shu army from counterattacking Yuzhou City at any time.

And the representatives of the various localities also elected the leaders of the secret party in the states! Among them, Lizhou, Yizhou, Suizhou, Pengzhou, Zizhou, Luzhou, Wanzhou, Kunzhou, and Jianzhou have all been basically controlled by the secret party. Because of the route, only Suizhou, Wanzhou and Luzhou sent representatives.

However, adhering to the policy of the founding of the party, party members have the absolute right to elect and recall, and there will be no phenomenon of regional leaders saying their word, which has put an end to the phenomenon that the emperor is far away and the power is out of control.

The leaders of the states, Liu Jixing basically made up his mind, but the military situation was changing rapidly, and Liu Jixing did not interfere with the command. Not only did Yang Huai nominate candidates, but he also suggested that each state elect its own candidates, provided that they must be elected by members of the secret party.

The rest of the people were naturally promoted by Yang Huai, and they also had their own arrangements and distributions. After Yang Huai successfully captured Yuzhou City in the name of the Average Sect, although Yuzhou City did not seem to be greatly affected, there was no major turmoil. However, Yang Huai did not relax at all, and strictly ordered the members of the secret party to lead by example and lead the people around them to develop and manage the affairs of Yuzhou City.

With the sharing and help of everyone around him, Yuzhou City is still normal. What is strange is that Wang Lu and Sun Qingyi did not appear, they were still in Yuzhou City in a state of stealth. This is also Liu Jixing's strategy, although he has the help of masters in the rivers and lakes, he is sure that others will have it. Therefore, with a military genius like Yang Huai, it would be better to appear in various theaters head-on, and it would not attract the attention of those elusive masters on the rivers and lakes.

Protecting the safety of regional leaders is one point, and it is the responsibility of each regional leader to give full play to their due ability to quickly make the region operate and attach. Yang Huai was obviously showing his talents, and he was also efficiently developing in the direction of the teachings of the Average Sect and the secret party conveyed by Liu Jixing in Shuzhong.

First of all, after the fall of the county governments, there was a lack of management by local officials. The members of the secret party in various places gathered a large number of aspiring young people, and everywhere divided the land and production equally. Many landlords and eunuchs were the main members of the average, which led to a group of displaced people in the city of Yuzhou, of course, there were people of various statuses, but at the moment everyone was a displaced person.

For a time, all kinds of people in Yuzhou City flocked to the city, and the number of people exceeded half of the original population. In order to alleviate the pressure of the people who originally lived in the city, and to prevent serious dissatisfaction of these people. Yang Huai approved Peng Quanqing to make orderly arrangements and place everyone in various parts of the city, all of which were idle land and designated areas. Not only did they require strict control over these people, but they also allowed the newly arranged City Patrol Division to maintain law and order to control the situation at any time.

Of course, Peng Quanqing was the first to take the initiative to help the people, and later called on all commercial banks in Yuzhou City to let everyone donate money and efforts to prepare to settle the lives of these displaced people. Although Peng Quanqing's sudden ascension to the throne has caused many people to be unbalanced, there are still many people who secretly echo it, and those who wait and see account for the majority. Peng Quanqing didn't have time to worry about them, so he called all the people in his house and boiled a large amount of rice porridge and various vegetable pastes to let everyone get through the crisis.

Then with Yang Huai's approval, Peng Quanqing ordered people to build a large number of simple thatched huts of wood and stone in the open space around the city of Yuzhou, temporarily sheltering these displaced people from the wind and rain. Although these huts are simple and airy, they are the most suitable for the season. And within a few days, as the distribution of these homeless people stopped, they were groomed by the residents. Not only can you shelter from the wind and rain, but you also obviously think of it as a temporary home.

Of course, Yang Huai followed Liu Jixing's teaching of how to deal with emergency measures, and analyzed the current situation with Peng Quanqing. Although everyone has been provided with relief, there must be a long-term systematic arrangement and method for the next survival.

Peng Quanqing also had some consideration, and what he thought coincided with Yang Huai's strategy. That is, to be prepared to use and teach these displaced people so that they can have their own way of survival in the future.

First of all, a large number of fortifications were built at the entrance to the city along the Yangtze River to strengthen the firmness of the embankment near the river. The strategy was to gather these displaced people to help, and all those who worked normally would receive five copper coins a day and two meals per person.

Among them, the charm of money is not to mention the homeless, just the two meals of rich food, but each meal has six taels of brown rice noodles, even the people who work hard, that is also extremely full. At one time, there were many people who came to sign up, and a large number of works were completed in a short time, which is not to be said later.

There is also a large number of bungalows outside the city of Yuzhou, one mile on the left and right sides, each began to build a large number of bungalows, and the scale and method naturally adopted the method of stone and wood in later generations. The goal is naturally to take the street as the unit, the community as the basic, the area is three miles long, the width of two miles of small villages and towns, should be the arch to defend the city of Yuzhou.

And this village and town to be built is named the East and West District of the Average District, and Di is under the jurisdiction of Yuzhou City. After the completion of the houses in the two districts, they will be able to accommodate 20,000 people, not only for the existing poor people in Yuzhou City, but also for many displaced people.

Therefore, as soon as the news of the establishment of this area came out, the women, children, and children who came from the displaced people all helped each other to contribute. Of course, the strongest reaction was actually the various commercial houses in Yuzhou City. They obviously smelled a business opportunity here, and they went to the temporary assassin's mansion to visit Peng Quanqing, the person in charge, although they did not say what they meant, but they were obviously inquiring between the words to see the scale and role of these two districts.

Because of the proper arrangement and the planned scale, within a few days, a new city outline could be seen under the city of Yuzhou. But this matter has just started at this time, and as for the causes and consequences of this matter, Yang Huai has long thought of it with Peng Quanqing. Although Yang Huai has no business acumen, after Peng Quanqing's reminder, Yang Huai decided to knock on a large amount of bamboo in Yuzhou City Commercial Bank.

The noon sun was very comfortable, and there were people outside the north gate of Yuzhou City, and there were people working everywhere. The sound of command, shouting, shouting, and the noise is dizzy.

Under the supervision of many soldiers, a distance of a thousand meters outside the north gate, the open space on both sides was divided into two large areas.

Many men and men, shirtless, swung their mallets at the behest of some people, and smashed the stump with the thick mouth of the pointed bowl on the ground. A large number of freshly cut down trees have been lifted out of the mountains and forests on both sides. And among these people, there are not many women, which is really a great spectacle.

These tree stumps that hit the ground are the thickness of the mouth of the bowl, and looking at the shape of the arranged stumps, stretching for several miles on both sides, they are obviously used to locate the territory of the two districts. There are many people and great strength, and two pieces of territory of several miles have basically been enclosed on both sides. Presumably, the built east and west areas are within the scope of this wooden pile.

Looking at the originally wide official road under the city, at this time, because of the positioning of the wooden piles on both sides, only a width of about 30 meters was left in the middle position, and it could be directly connected to the city gate. Presumably, with the completion of the east and west districts on both sides, not only the scope of Yuzhou City will increase, but anyone who wants to attack the city and seize land will also have a lot of scruples.

And between the wooden pile area and the city gate area of Yuzhou City, there are many thatched hut areas that were temporarily erected yesterday. Under the arrangement of the Yuzhou City Patrol Division, it is now full of homeless people who are pouring in from all over the place, but it seems that they are all old people and children, and it is obvious that the young people are working hard.

At a distance of about 20 meters from the thatched hut area, a temporary wall of signs with a height and width is made of wood, and the two tree poles that support the wall are about a foot high. It is eye-catching and conspicuous and can be seen from afar, with the planning map of the eastern and western districts drawn on it, and some instructions for the people to build the eastern and western districts.

The signature above is naturally an average teaching. And the final payment is actually the current Yuzhou City Thorn History, the former head of the Yuzhou City Cloth Bank Peng Quanqing. There are many people who naturally don't know who Peng Quanqing is, but there are still many people in Yuzhou City who know, and there are even many people who haven't digested this fact. But Peng Quanqing was already exercising his rights, and there were even several heads of officials and family members who had rebelled against the average congregation on the castle tower.

Many children do not know their situation, whether they are running to seek refuge from other places or the original homeless people around them, they are playing outside the hut, and they seem to be a little carefree. Some of the children looked at the tall notice wall and were all around and playing noisily. Most of these children are well-dressed, but they are striped cloth, and they are very dirty and tattered.

"It's time for soup kitchen! Soup kitchen! ”

I don't know who shouted, which immediately made the people in the shanty and the children playing outside excited.

No matter what kind of identity it was that day, when it came to this point, everyone was hungry and panicked. The elderly who could not work were refused to participate in the work by the city patrol department, and could only wait for their families to support them in the shanty where they lived. Children who are too small and too weak are also strictly controlled by the City Patrol Division, and they are not allowed to work on the construction site, so everyone can only wait around the house.

Many well-to-do families have long since arrived here, and some have starved to death on the road. At this moment, these old people and children, all of them have haggard faces, and their faces are yellow and thin. If there is no family to work to earn food, or someone to give alms, there is only life and death.

In this kind of environment, how many people will help others!

A few shouts are tantamount to the sound of heaven!

The quick ones look around, and the slow ones don't know what's going on. When they saw everyone running to the thatched hut where they lived, and took all kinds of bowls and pots out, these slow people came back to their senses, and they also ran to their huts, and followed them out.

In the middle of the shanty town and the stump area, I don't know when four cars came. Three donkeys pulled a big cart, on the car is a big pot, the pot is wafting with a thick porridge fragrance, mixed with the fragrance of vegetable leaves. This undoubtedly makes hungry people find their way no matter how hard they work.

There were more than a dozen people standing next to the three donkey carts, all of whom were supposed to be in their attire, all holding large iron spoons in their hands, but they prevented the people who ran over first from approaching. Soon the officers and soldiers who were patrolling and the people who patrolled the city department passed by, and then they saw a man who looked like a butler standing up on the donkey cart in the middle. He also waved the big iron spoon in his hand and shouted loudly to everyone not to worry, but his voice was quickly annihilated in the voices of more and more people.

Parking next to it was an ox cart with a sturdy man and a maid-like woman in the driver. There was a curtain in the carport, so you couldn't see inside. Presumably the owner of these people, or someone who doesn't want to show his face.

At the scene of the uproar, there were many people who were half a beat slower, and they surrounded them from behind. A child held a large bowl and ran over with his feet outstretched, but was hit by a slightly taller child. With a snap, the big bowl shattered, and she watched it for a long time before she came back to her senses.

Several people ran past her and almost stepped on her, looking at the crowd in a heap, and the noisy shouts, and the tempting aroma of porridge. The child finally let out a wow, crying.

The cry was helpless, with a hint of sadness and powerlessness.

Some old people who couldn't run, and some children who were too young, all looked at this child, but no one helped her. Even some of the people working next to the donkey cart on the side smelled the porridge and looked over, if it weren't for the soldiers standing there with guns, it is estimated that someone would have run over.

"Kid! Hurry up! Don't worry, don't worry! A kind voice sounded beside the child, but did not reach out to help her.

Someone next to me saw it, and I don't know when there was one more person next to the child. Everyone can see that this is actually an old man, wearing a vague Taoist robe. This old man is kind and kind-eyed, and although his face has the vicissitudes of an old man, he seems to look very young. He was wearing a green cloth shirt and robe, and there was a wine gourd hanging from his waist, which was already shiny.

He wore a pair of straw sandals that were already very old, and the woven uppers were almost blackened. One corner of the robe is tucked at the waist, and the lower body is a pair of coarse linen pants with countless patches, but the trouser tube of the right foot is still held high.

He stood in front of the child and looked at the child who fell to the ground encouragingly. It looks like the hair on the top of the head is black and white, and the amount of hair is not too much, it is simply coiled on the top of the head, and it is worn with a shiny branch. His face was a little round, with a slight smile and a little kind. But what is funny is that the long beard that reaches under the jaw and reaches the chest is actually braided into a braid, but it is as long as the chest. Coupled with the shape of his face, it actually looks a little weird.

Looking at the trembling child lying on the ground, his eyes were full of pity, and he seemed to think of this child several times, but he didn't know why he didn't get up. Biting his lower lip tightly, he sobbed.

Lao Dao squatted down quietly and looked at the child with uneasy eyes. Stretched out his left hand and touched it lightly on the top of her head, which is also very strange, when this old Taoist stroked this child, this uneasy child quieted down, and actually looked at this old Taoist quietly, and slowly stopped crying.

Lao Dao watched the child slowly sit up on the ground, couldn't help but smile and waved his hand at the child, and shook it in front of the child. Not many people paid attention to this, but some people who couldn't walk still came to see it.

Although I don't know whose family this child is, and no one even cares about this child, the appearance of this old way still makes some people pay attention. After all, at this time of the era, there are a lot of abductors everywhere, and it is normal for a large number of children to be sold and abducted.

Everyone didn't know what this old man wanted to do, but suddenly he only felt a flower in front of him, and suddenly, this old man had a white steamed bun in his hand, not only the child was stunned, but the onlookers on the side were stunned.

Everyone knows that there are many liars and strange people in this world, especially those who want to cultivate the truth like Lao Dao, that is a character who can cultivate into immortals! Everyone changed their minds for a while, thinking that this old Taoist was a first-class immortal, and the eyes of this old Taoist were completely different.

The child was obviously hungry too, and his eyes were glued to the steamed buns, as if he had smelled the fragrance from them. But she looked at the steamed bun in Lao Dao's hand, and didn't open her mouth, although the saliva flowed, the small Adam's apple moved up and down, and her eyes were full of pity, but she didn't beg for the ** in front of her like other beggars and those who were hungry.

Lao Dao looked at the child's demeanor, and actually smiled knowingly, and couldn't stop nodding. Slowly stretched out the steamed bun in front of the child, looked at the child kindly, and said softly: "Child! Are you hungry, grandpa has this steamed bun for you to eat! ”

The child actually hesitated for a moment, and moved his body back half a step slightly, looking at the old Dao's eyes puzzled, and finally he might not be able to refuse the pain of hunger. Tremblingly, she stretched out her black and emaciated hand, and just halfway to the steamed bun, she suddenly stopped again. Tilting his head to look at this kind old man, he said pitifully: "Is it really for Wu Niang?" ”

Lao Dao's eyes flashed with a trace of essence that ordinary people could not detect, and there was actually some sadness and compassion in the essence. The expression on his face froze for a moment, his voice seemed to be a little heavy, and he whispered to the child: "Yes child, grandpa is here for you to eat, come, hurry, come, follow it, give it to you!" ”

The child finally couldn't stand it, the black and thin little hand trembled and caught the steamed bun, seeing that Lao Dao let go of his hand, he couldn't help but hold the steamed bun tightly in his hand, but his eyes looked at Lao Dao nervously, as if he was afraid that Lao Dao would regret it and put the steamed bun back.

Seeing that Lao Dao was staring at herself, there was no other reaction, she lowered her head, and was about to reach out to her mouth, but she stopped again, as if she remembered something. I stayed for a while, as if I had made a decision.

Lao Dao naturally discovered the child's behavior, and saw that she not only did not eat the steamed bun, but also carefully stuffed the steamed bun into her chest, and finally put it away in her arms like a rotten cloth. Lao Dao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but whisper: "Child! Why don't you eat it? ”

The child looked up at him, his eyes were a little flustered and scared, he involuntarily hugged his small chest, and said carefully: "Wu Niang can hold back her hunger, and the seventh sister and eighth brother have not eaten!" Wu Niang wants to take it back and give it to them to eat, grandpa, you won't want to go back! ”

Suddenly, Lao Dao's expression was stagnant, his nose was actually a little sour, looking at this black and thin child, his eyes were actually a little moist, he didn't squeak, but looked back at a person walking over slowly.

"No, kid, how could grandpa want to go back!"

The child did not hear the old man, she got up, staggered, but ran quickly into the shanty, into a hut.

"A real person thinks a steamed bun can save her!" The person who came was dressed in black civilian clothes, his long jade hair was scattered, and his body was spotless near this hot construction site. He doesn't look to be in his thirties, and he has no beard under his jaw, but he feels comfortable. It seems that there is a natural momentum that dominates the world.

Lao Dao didn't answer immediately, and quietly watched the thatched hut that the child entered, as if thinking about something. After a moment, he turned his head to look at the construction site on the side, and said lightly: "Just like the people on this construction site, it seems that they are being squeezed by the average education. It seems that this construction site seems to be a fortification built by the average teacher in order to protect the city of Yuzhou. But it is not to blame, it can at least keep these people alive, and it can also save these people from many wars! ”

Lao Dao looked at the man in black with a smile: "It's like a steamed bun, although it can't save her, at least it can help her temporarily!" If there was another way, she might be out of danger! Don't lose what brother thinks! ”

"Great wisdom! You need to taste it slowly! The man in black said quietly.
