Since ancient times, refugees are the most pitiful, but also the most terrible and difficult to control, countless times in history, countless times to change the dynasty, are because of the chaos of the people, what is the most fundamental reason - hunger, the victims of the disaster do not have enough to eat, are about to starve to death, anything can be done.

Although he was a military general, after closing the official letter, Wang Junlin had to cheer up.

Not to mention that he is the Eagle Yang Lang General of Zhangye County, the rise and fall and stability of this place are directly related to him, only with the conscience that has never been extinguished in his heart, and now the special period does not allow him to stay out of the matter and be indifferent.

When Xu Jingzong hurriedly walked in, Wang Junlin was staring at a huge sheepskin map with a solemn face, his fingers kept scratching something on the map, shaking his head and sighing from time to time.

"Master Hou, Lord Wang Tong, the state capital, sent someone to deliver an urgent official document...... Xu Jingzong handed over the sealed official letter, Wang Junlin snatched it with his hand, and after a cursory sweep, his face suddenly became more and more sad.

Xu Jingzong asked urgently: "Master Hou, I don't know ...... snow disaster?"

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Junlin handed the official document in his hand to Xu Jingzong, and after the latter read it, his expression suddenly became solemn.

Wang Junlin said solemnly: "After the chief manager killed the king of Bailan in Xiping County, he was recalled by the emperor to report to the capital. And now that the snow disaster has affected the three counties, more than 400,000 people have been affected, Lord Thorn Shi is worried that someone will take advantage of the chaos and let me go to Jincheng to take charge. ”

……

……

The Jincheng Prefecture was busy in a mess, and for several days in a row, countless official letters quickly entered Jincheng, and soon countless messengers left Jincheng, and rushed to the capital for 800 miles, coming and going in a hurry.

In the face of the sudden disaster, the pace of Yongzhou's rotation from the state capital to the county and county governments was accelerated in vain, not only the frequent allocation of grain and grass, but even Wang Junlin, who was far away in Shifeng Village, was recruited to the Yongzhou Governor's Mansion to replace Yujuluo.

In the absence of Yu Juluo and Liu Fang's serious injury, why let him sit in charge, Wang Junlin knew in his heart. From the standpoint of the government, the first thing to do in dealing with refugees is to save them, first to control their stomachs, and not to guarantee that they will have enough to eat, but they cannot starve to death; secondly, before the grain and grass have time to reach the disaster area, the soldiers and horses must first suppress the scene, otherwise if there is a riot and riot and cannot be suppressed, it will cause big trouble.

Everything started because of this snow disaster, from ancient times to the present, natural disasters have been a very troublesome and terrible thing for the people and the imperial court, because disasters are endlessly challenging human nature, and no one can predict what the refugees who have no food, clothing, and no livelihood will do, and what kind of threat and turmoil will be caused to the imperial court.

For thousands of years in China, the people at the bottom are actually the most industrious, the most patient, and the most obedient group, and the rulers have been brainwashed by "governing people" and "governing people" for a long time, and the people have never felt that there is anything wrong with being ruled by others, even if the officials are bad, beat and scold them, or impose heavy taxes, or even rob and rape. Lewdness and so on, the people can endure it helplessly.

But there is a bottom line that must not be touched, and that is "hunger".

Yes, hunger is the bottom line of all the people, and the officials are powerful again, and then they are heavily taxed, as long as they can be half-fed, so that they do not starve to death, they will not have the courage to resist, but if they encounter a disaster year, or when the harsh government makes them unable to guarantee even the most basic food and clothing, the people at that time are no longer the people, but instantly become a group of wolves with green eyes, they have no way to live, just like the overlord of Chu has broken the boat, anyway, the back road has been broken, it is better to simply kill the official and rebel, and kill a way to live.

……

……

When Wang Junlin set out from Shifeng Village, he only brought 3,000 people with him from Zhangye County, and Zhou Hu and Shangguan Hu defeated Xue Yantuo's army under the overall planning and leadership of Wang Junlin, and killed Xue Qiluo, and then they had already led their troops back to Gaotai City and Shabang Pass to garrison.

In the evening, the team walked in a place where there was no village in front of the village and no shop in the back, so Wang Junlin ordered to find a flat land near the water to set up camp and bury the stove for cooking.

The soldiers stopped according to the order and began to set up camp in an orderly manner.

It has been two days since leaving Shifeng Village, the team is not fast, and even a little procrastinating, this is no way, because the road is not easy to walk, the snow on the road does not melt, frost into ice, and people turn on their backs without paying attention, and the team can only carefully move forward like walking on thin ice.

On the third day, the team marched to the northernmost county seat of Zhangye County, Xifeng County, the county order led the officials of the whole city out of the city ten miles to greet them, Wang Junlin politely refused the warm invitation to enter the city, the team only camped outside the city, and quietly left the camp in the early morning of the second day.

After Xifeng County and then to the southeast, I don't know if it is a psychological illusion, Wang Junlin always feels that the weather has become colder, along the way you can see the heavy snow that has not melted, it is obviously the season of the beginning of spring, but here is still full of gloom, there is no splendid scenery of spring flowers, there is no green trees and red flowers full of spring, and there is no joy of farmers full of joy to form a group of spring sowing thriving weather, as far as the eye can see, there is a bleak as far as the eye can see, the land is cold and hard, the fields are barren, even the wild grass is not seen, look at it, the vast field can not feel a trace of vitality.

Walking here, Wang Junlin's heart gradually sank, and even Xu Jingzong, who was cold by nature, couldn't see a smile on his face at this time.

Out of Xifeng County and continuing to the southeast, Wang Junlin and his entourage slowly walked towards Jincheng.

This is already a blind part of Jincheng County, Yongzhou is relatively a relatively rich place, after all, it is the place where the state capital is located, with the state capital Jincheng as the center, many domestic businessmen and Hu businessmen from the Western Regions in order to pursue profits, have flocked to Jincheng with goods and specialties, whether it is passing by, not local transactions, all make the land of Jincheng quite prosperous, and it is also the most dense place for the people of Yongzhou.

However, after all, the Sui Dynasty was still an era dominated by agriculture, and grain crops determined people's livelihood, so the annual spring sowing and autumn harvest were first-class events for the people of the Great Sui.

Every year after the beginning of spring, Emperor Yang Jian has to lead hundreds of officials to pray for blessings in the agricultural altar of the palace, seeking a year of wind and rain, after the autumn harvest every year, the former Queen Dugu also led the ministers of the court to order the family members to go down to the field in person, and pick back the wheat grains left in the field during the autumn harvest, so as to express the blessings of the people in the world, from the first year of the emperor, Queen Dugu personally presided over this ceremony, every year, until she died last year.

It can be seen that farming is very important to the people, and the vast majority of the people in the world are farmers, and the farmers cannot ask for food and clothing, so the daily climate is a life-critical event for the farmers.
