Liu He is one of them.

As a native of Baoding Prefecture, Beizhili, this winter is really unbearable. There was no choice but to flee south.

If you can escape, it's the best, if you can't escape, there's no way, it's all fate.

Fortunately, after a long journey, Liu He finally followed the team of displaced people to Shandong.

Originally, they thought that under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, the clothes and hair accessories of the people here were very different from them, and they would instinctively reject them.

In fact, they were wrong. After they cut off their braids, neither the government nor the common people cast hostile eyes on them.

What is even more commendable is that the government has also come forward to set up porridge sheds to help the victims. Even cotton clothes were distributed to the victims.

At that moment, Liu He couldn't help it, and tears came out of his eyes.

It's better to be Ming.

The Tartars treated them like pigs and dogs, and he didn't want to go back to Beizhili anyway.

Unless...

Unless the imperial court leads the troops to fight back!

As the number of displaced people outside the city gradually increased, there were many factors of instability that continued to allow them to gather outside the city.

Eventually, the government stepped in to create a special piece of land for the homeless people outside the city and establish an existence similar to a small town.

The town is full of brick houses and looks very neat.

What touched the displaced people the most was that the government even sent people to send firewood and charcoal to each household.

It's not a problem at all to make a fire to keep warm.

The cold winter is ruthless, people are affectionate, and they feel that there is hope for life again.

After Liu He drank the porridge, he returned to the town.

Although the town has just been established, it is full of fireworks.

Many people were originally fellow villagers, so they naturally gathered together to talk about the past.

Liu He's current neighbors are all from Baoding Prefecture, and there are four or five in the same village.

The best thing with him is Ah Niu.

The two have played since they were children, and their relationship is very deep.

They are now living in a room, Liu He pushed open the door and saw that no one was in the heart, and said that Ah Niu must have gone late today, and he had not yet been lined up to receive porridge.

Liu He closed the door, walked quickly to the head of the bed that had been temporarily erected by the wooden plank, and lay down.

Liu He hasn't had time to think about the future, but one thing is certain, that is, the days will get better and better.

It doesn't matter if there is no land, Liu He can endure hardships and start as a tenant farmer.

In addition to paying rent to the landlord, he can always save some of it.

Save and save to be able to afford land one day.

As long as there is hope. The most terrible thing is that there is no hope in sight.

Under the rule of the Tartars, Liu He felt this way.

Now that I have finally escaped, I must live as a person.

As soon as Liu He closed his eyes and was about to take a nap, he heard a rush of footsteps.

Needless to say, Ah Niu must have returned.

He rolled over and got up from the bed and paced to open the door.

"Why did you come back so late today? In the past, you arrived at the porridge shed earlier than me. ”

Liu He asked casually.

"Ah, it's not in the way, anyway, you can have porridge to eat in the morning and evening."

Ah Niu's eyes were uncertain, and his hands were always behind his back.

"Why do you look weird? Nothing will happen, right? ”

"What can you do?"

Ah Niu forced out a smile.

"Well, that's good. By the way, what are you holding in your hand? ”

Ah Niu had no choice but to take the package to untie the knot and said, "Here are a few sweet potatoes and potatoes I bought." Take a look. ”

Liu He was taken aback when he heard this: "Where did you get it, it shouldn't be stolen, right?" ”

Ah Niu rolled his eyes and said, "Look at what you said, don't you know me yet?" When did I steal and rob? ”

"That's good."

Liu Hechang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We can't leave a bad impression when we first arrive. ”

After coming to Qingzhou Mansion, Liu He didn't want to go back anyway. The people here are hospitable and have no rejection of them as homeless, and he just wants to stay and live a good life.

"You haven't seen raw potatoes, sweet potatoes yet. Come and see, it's like this. ”

Ah Niu leaned over to Liu He and said with a smile.

Liu He was also a little curious when he said this, and stared at it for a long time.

"This thing doesn't look so unusual, why is it so delicious."

Whether it is mashed potato rice or sweet potato porridge, Liu He has eaten it.

He had to say that these two things tasted good and were very filling. After eating some, you will never feel hungry again. Unlike the food made of bread noodles, I get hungry not long after eating.

"Alright, this is my baby, I'll have to keep it."

After Ah Niu finished speaking, he snatched the potatoes and sweet potatoes from Liu He's hands.

Now Liu He stopped doing it: "What are you doing?" It's not a rare thing. Besides, I'll just look at it twice, as for being so stingy? ”

Ah Niu pouted and said, "I'm still waiting for the spring to plant it." We don't have any land, so we plant it outside the house. ”

Liu He was stunned for a moment and said, "What, you want to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes?" ”

Ah Niu nodded and said, "Yes, if we don't plant, we can only queue up every day to get food." I feel quite uncomfortable anyway. ”

Liu He thought about it carefully, it was not a matter for them to always eat white food with hands and feet.

"Then we won't be able to grow much."

"Not necessarily, I've heard that this potato and sweet potato yield is very high, maybe we can grow some and eat it."

Ah Niu seemed to be very confident in potatoes and sweet potatoes, patted his chest and said, "At that time, I will make mashed potatoes, and you will make sweet potato porridge." How is it? ”

"Okay!"

Liu He was also aroused by Ah Niu, and rubbed his palms repeatedly: "I can't wait to be said by you." ”

"Don't tell outsiders about this, I'm afraid that someone will come to steal our sweet potatoes and potatoes."

Ah Niu lowered his voice and said, "Don't let our brothers work hard to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes cheaply." ”

Liu He nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, I won't talk about it to outsiders." ”

"Well, I'll go and put the potatoes and sweet potatoes away first, and then let's go fetch water together."

...

...

On the issue of setting up a town outside the city of Qingzhou to resettle displaced people, the prefect and Tongzhi had a great disagreement.

It stands to reason that the chief officer and the second officer have different opinions, and the chief officer should prevail.

But what Tongzhi said is not unreasonable.

"Fuzun, these homeless people are all from Beizhili, so you must guard against it. What if there were a Tartar among them? ”

Tongzhi Zhang Yan dissuaded: "Please also ask the Fuzun to send someone to monitor these displaced people, just in case." ”

The prefect Wu Liandeng frowned and did not say a word. Zhang Tongzhi has said the same thing countless times in the past few days, and his ears are calloused.

It was his Wu Liandeng's idea to set up a town outside the city, but now he wants to send someone to do some kind of surveillance, isn't this a slap in the face?

In Wu Liandeng's view, Zhang Tongzhi knew that this method was absolutely unacceptable.
