"I will settle them well, if you are willing to make a career in the house, you can also let them obey your orders when the time comes." Li Xinchen couldn't help but clench Xiao Xiang's hand, the girl's hand was a little cold, "Let's go, the wind will rise in a while." ”

This sentence was heard by Xiao Xiang, and it was also heard by the poor woman who did not hesitate to sell her children in the hope that they could survive, and when she heard Li Xinchen's words, the woman breathed a long sigh of relief, and fainted in a blink of an eye.

Looking up just in time to meet Li Xinchen's gaze, Xiao Xiang smiled softly: "Okay, all listen to your husband's orders." ”

Li Xinchen jumped into the carriage first, and then stretched out his hand to drag Xiao Xiang up, but there was no smile on his face: "Li Ping!" ”

"In!" Li Ping snorted a spirit, and his general's tone was a little cold.

"Inform Xiao Shilian, Tang Zhengliang, and Dai Cai, and wait for them in the mansion!"

"No!" Li Ping responded first, and then asked in surprise, "General, now?" ”

"Now!" Li Xinchen said coldly.

Xiao Xiang glanced at Li Xinchen in surprise, but in the end he didn't say anything, just held Li Xinchen's hand more tightly.

Obviously, what happened to these three people also reminded her of herself who was trembling in the chaos of Ji Nancheng not long ago, if she hadn't met Li Xinchen, wouldn't her fate be as good as the three people who might freeze to death on the street?

——————————————————-

Although Xiao Shilian was stationed outside the city, he was the first to arrive.

With a horsewhip in his hand, Xiao Shilian strode into the conference hall and shouted excitedly: "Shizhong, are you going to fight?" Wait a minute······"

However, when he saw Li Xinchen's gloomy face sitting in the hall, Xiao Shilian still chuckled in his heart and hurriedly closed his mouth. Li Xinchen's face was wrong, and it was definitely not a good thing to call him over in the middle of the night, could it be that he lost the battle?

Or did the court have a reply, but it was not satisfactory?

Not only Xiao Shilian, but Dai Cai and Tang Zhengliang, who walked into the hall quickly at this time, also had the same doubts, and the two of them almost subconsciously lightened their steps.

Li Xinchen snorted and looked at Xiao Shilian first: "What about the pity?" ”

Xiao Shilian scratched his head in embarrassment: "First ······ I slept first. ”

Li Xinchen's face sank a little, his brother-in-law seemed to want to hold the child before he got married. But thinking about it again, Li Li'er and Xiao Shilian are not conservative people by nature, and it is reasonable to have a pair of eyes in the barracks, and the sky and thunder are stirring fire. Regardless of this matter for now, Li Xinchen's eyes immediately fell on Tang Zhengliang behind:

"Today, I rescued the mother and son by the river, and they were almost unable to support it because of hunger and cold."

Tang Zhengliang and Dai Cai were both stunned, and Xiao Shilian's face also sank slightly.

Slammed the table, Li Xinchen's voice became colder and colder: "Is it that if you don't care, there will be three starving corpses on the street tomorrow?!" Gong Chang Tang and Dai Zidong, I entrusted the official affairs of this Ba County to the two of you, did you do this?! ”

"Subordinate convicted!" Tang Zhengliang and Dai Cai shuddered, this was the first time they saw Li Xinchen so angry, and immediately bowed down at the same time.

Li Xinchen looked at Tang Zhengliang and Dai Cai coldly, waiting for these two guys to give him an explanation. The existence of beggars on the street is understandable to Li Xinchen, after all, even in the prosperous era, it is understandable that there are beggars on the street, but when he goes out, he can meet people who sell their heads and sell their children, so who knows how many people are begging for a way to live in the big and small corners of this city?

Tang Zhengliang took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "The general may not know that many places in Badi have failed to harvest this year, coupled with the Northern Expedition of the Fifth Route of the Zhou State, which requires a large amount of grain to be consumed, so the local government has not reduced the collection of grain, so many wives have been separated and their families have been ruined. In recent days, many homeless people have been found outside the city, and the general should have come from Shu. ”

Li Xinchen bowed slightly, he had already asked this mother and son before, they were from Shu County. Of course, they didn't know how many people were with them, but now listening to Tang Zhengliang, Li Xinchen realized the seriousness of the matter.

Throughout the ages, the exile has been a thorny problem for the imperial court, and if properly handled, it means that the imperial court needs to pay a lot of money and food, and if it is not handled well, it may even cause a large-scale uprising of the displaced people, which directly threatens the rule of the imperial court.

The people of China have always been known for their simplicity and weight, but when there is no way to satisfy food and clothing, they will not hesitate to express their anger.

"The homeless people are coming to us, and this is adding a burden to us." Xiao Shilian also frowned.

Many of these homeless people should be women and children, old and weak, their bodies and bones are weaker than normal men, and they can only live by eating old books when they encounter this kind of poor harvest, and now the Northern Zhou is anxious to collect food to make up for the previous consumption and the next big war, and it is reasonable that there will be displaced people.

More importantly, there are few young and strong laborers among these displaced people, which is naturally more burdensome than helpful for Li Xinchen.

Sitting down slowly, Li Xinchen said in a deep voice: "Why didn't you say this earlier?" ”

"The news that Xiaguan only confirmed today, but there has been no countermeasure, and I originally hoped that I could discuss it with the general and Brother Dai tomorrow, but the general noticed the clue first." Tang Zhengliang hurriedly said, "General, it is better to be displaced than to stay, and this matter must be discussed at your discretion." ”

Li Xinchen rubbed his chin lightly: "Then according to your meaning, these homeless people should be transported back to the Zhou Kingdom?" ”

"This is impossible," Dai Cai said in a deep voice, "Since Zhou Guo did not prevent these displaced people from entering Ba County, he must also want to take the opportunity to drag us down, why would he let them go back at this time?" ”

Li Xinchen took a deep breath, stood up and said in a deep voice: "Since this homeless person can't be channeled, then we can only stay." ”

"But ······" Tang Zhengliang and Dai Cai both showed hesitant expressions on their faces, they also knew that there was no other way to deal with it, but how could it be so simple for the displaced people to stay?

"The priority is not how to resettle the displaced people, but how to save their lives first." Li Xinchen frowned, "Boqing, Zidong!" ”

"In!" Xiao Shilian and Dai Cai hurriedly stood up.

"You immediately take the soldiers and horses to the streets, especially along the streets of Waiguo, and if you find that there are displaced people, you will concentrate first." Li Xinchen paced back and forth, "Tang Zhengliang! ”

"In!" Tang Zhengliang also hit a spirit.

"Now mobilize the officials to prepare meals, and in addition, all the temples in the city will be expropriated, and they will be used to settle the displaced people first!" Li Xinchen immediately ordered.

Tang Zhengliang looked over in surprise: "Temple? ”

There are quite a few temples in Ba County, and there are even a few magnificent ones, but they are not abandoned, and Li Xinchen's order inevitably surprised Tang Zhengliang.

"Can you find anywhere else?" Li Xinchen snorted.
