Chapter 345: Pei Ju Arrives

Chapter 345 Pei Ju arrives

In the northernmost part of the gathering point, there are dozens of large tents, which are the management center of the entire gathering point of the victims, and officials are busy registering all kinds of information about the victims, such as names, places of origin, ages, how many people are in the family, what specialties and crafts they have, etc., will be registered one by one.

Thousands of victims are lining up in 18 queues, waiting in an orderly manner to register, and after registration, they can receive a special wooden plaque to arrange for temporary tents and receive relief food.

At this time, Su Shang rushed to the registration office with his own soldiers and soldiers, and was looking around, when he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "General, the old man is here!"

Su Shang looked back and saw that in front of a group of victims not far behind him, Pei Ju was sitting at a long table beckoning to him.

At this time, Pei Ju was holding a brush in his hand, and in front of him was a thick registration book, and he was greeting himself while asking about the situation of the victims. The dignified Lord Xiangguo actually registered the information for the victims in person, which really surprised Su Shang.

After entering the county ruled by the Allied Army, he learned that Su Shang was inspecting the disaster area, so he decided to divide the road with Zhao Wang Yang Gao and other soldiers, and asked the local allied soldiers to escort Zhao Wang Yang Gao to Donglai City, and he took the holy decree to turn the horse's head and rushed to the disaster gathering point in Xuchang County, Lu County to wait for Su Shang.

Su Shang turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly to Pei Ju's side, but he didn't worry about Pei Ju continuing to register the victims, just stood quietly aside, patiently waiting for Pei Ju to finish the matter in his hand.

Pei Ju smiled apologetically at Su Shang, continued the registration work, and asked with a smile to the disaster victims in front of him: "The names of your family of four have been registered, where is your hometown, do you have land in your hometown, and what do you do to make a living?"

"The hometown of Lord Huiyu, grass people, etc. is in Xitou Town, Kaocheng County, Liang County. The grass people make a living from farming, but their families have no land, so they rent 60 acres of land from the Liu family in the town to cultivate. ”

Pei Ju nodded, took the pen and recorded it in the register, and after a while, he asked with a smile: "Do you have any special skills, such as hunting, carpenter, mason, blacksmith, etc..."

The man thought for a while and said, "My family has been making iron for three generations, and I was also a blacksmith in the town, but I changed to farming three years ago."

"That's good!"

Pei Ju said with a smile, "Blacksmiths are very sought-after in our place, and they can make money very much!" Now the government is recruiting a large number of blacksmiths, the treatment is very good, more money than farming, ordinary blacksmiths three times a month on good new money, if the skills are outstanding and the efficiency is outstanding, there will be an additional reward of one or three times a month, you can sign up to try it. ”

The man was a little moved, thought for a while, and said, "The grass people go back and discuss with the lady, if the lady agrees, the grass people will sign up."

"Okay, if your wife agrees, you can go to that big tent and sign up!"

Pei Ju smiled, pointed to an independent tent a hundred steps away on the left, and then took a wooden card and handed it to the man, "This is our registration card, it will be used when receiving relief food, so it must be put away." Your temporary residence is in the South Eighth District, you can go there by yourself now, there will be officials there to settle you, if you can't find a place, you can ask the soldiers on duty. ”

"Thank you, sir!"

After the man bowed respectfully and retreated, Pei Ju handed over the matter to another official, got up and smiled at Su Shang: "Let the general wait for a long time!"

Su Shang shook his head and said with a smile: "The tired Lord Xiangguo personally registered the victims, and Su Shang is deeply ashamed!"

"Actually, it's nothing, the old man often did this kind of thing when he was young, touching the scene and feeling very nostalgic."

Su Shang pointed to the big tent in front of him and said, "There is some chaos here, let's go to the big tent in front of us to talk!"

Pei Ju nodded, and as Su Shang walked towards the big tent, he looked at the more than a dozen longer and longer registration lines, sighed a little, and said, "This should actually be a matter of the court, but in this world... Alas, natural and man-made disasters, I don't know when it will come to an end! ”

Su Shang was also a little heavy when he heard this, and said after a while: "Natural disasters are immutable, man-made disasters have become a trend, and they are not short-term changeable, nor short-term reversible." If the local governments can work together and do their part, it should not be difficult to solve the problem of the victims. ”

"That being said, not every government will open a warehouse for disaster relief, some governments are waiting for instructions from the government, and some governments are short of food, and they have more than enough energy..."

As they spoke, they walked into the big tent, which was the resting place of the officials, who were busy at this time, and there was no one in the tent.

Su Shang asked Pei Ju to sit down in front of the table, and asked the soldiers to serve tea, and then asked the soldiers to guard the door of the big tent and did not allow the officials to enter.

At this time, Pei Ju remembered something and asked in a low voice: "I seem to have seen a grain team under the banner of the Xingyang Zheng clan just now, did the Xingyang Zheng clan send you grain?"

Su Shang was silent for a moment, nodded and said with a smile: "The Xingyang Zheng clan also wants to contribute to disaster relief, they have a manor in Juye County in Dongping County, and there are more than 3,000 stone corn in the manor, and now all of them have been donated to us!"

"Really? In this drought, the disaster situation in Xingyang County is not very serious, but Luoyang, the eastern capital, is one of the evacuation directions for the victims, and Xingyang County is one of the important routes for the victims to flee Luoyang. Xingyang County should also need a lot of food for disaster relief, and Xingyang Zheng's family, as the first county of Xingyang County, did not transport the grain back to Xingyang County to set up a shed to give porridge, but sent it to Lu County Xuchang, which is very interesting! Pei Ju said with a smile.

"Maybe they want to do a little bit more and put food in multiple counties at the same time to help the disaster."

Pei Ju shook his head, "The county wang family has rules, and no family will cross the county to provide disaster relief." Shang'er, you and I both know in our hearts that the Xingyang Zheng family is here for you. ”

"Maybe!"

Su Shangwei smiled and said, "Although Xingyang County is still in Li Mi's hands, it is already within our army, and the Zheng clan of Xingyang should want to befriend us in advance, so that the Zheng family will be trampled by our iron hooves."

"That's how it should be!"

Pei Ju nodded in agreement, "It is also possible that they are ready to bet on both sides, the Xingyang Zheng clan has always supported Li Yuan before, but your strength is stronger than Li Yuan, they should also be a little worried that Li Yuan will be defeated by you." ”

"However, no matter what the reason is, the Xingyang Zheng family wants to bet on both sides, support Li Yuan openly, and support Shang'er you secretly, this should be true, this is a good thing!"

After speaking, Pei Ju changed the topic and said with a smile: "Shang'er, Great Ancestor, I have a heavy responsibility to come this time!"

Take on an important task?

Su Shang was a little puzzled, but his face was still straight, he put away his smile, and said solemnly: "Great Ancestor, please speak!"
