Chapter 1000 - I can't be considered a human anymore

(Thank you very much for the generous support of the 'Book Friends 6318790' and the monthly pass.) )

Mao Haitao had already inquired about the attitude of the officials of Donglai County through spies, and the Taishou of Donglai County would not care about the lives of these more than 50,000 homeless people at all, and these homeless people who had no other way to live could be easily instigated and led by them, whether it was a riot or a rebellion, it was very easy. Who would have thought that Wang Junlin would send people to bring food to these people, not to mention, but also to get doctors to treat them and use medicine.

Moreover, Mao Haitao had just gotten the news that Wang Junlin had come in person. This made Mao Haitao couldn't help but be a little worried about whether Wang Junlin knew about their conspiracy plan, otherwise how could he suddenly care about the life and death of these 50,000 displaced people, he could send a large army to block these people outside Fanyang County, neither the court nor the emperor would say anything to him.

……

……

The rain is not frightened, but the sky is still gloomy, Wang Junlin is wearing a purple shirt, standing on the big boat, looking at the overall coordination of Mu Xuhong and Zhao Shuren, the two poor scholars, and with the cooperation of the guards and officials brought by Liu Ziming, more than 50,000 homeless people began to cook on the fire, everything was orderly and vibrant.

"These more than 50,000 homeless people actually have really low requirements, and they even think about not starving to death, but for such a goal, the emperor and those gate lords and nobles are unwilling to give it, and they always don't care about their lives and deaths." Wang Junlin sighed secretly in his heart.

"Ziming, within a month, the displaced people here will be transported to the salt field by sea, and I have already arranged the boat on the salt farm, but within this month, this goldfish beach will be handed over to you." Wang Junlin withdrew his gaze and said to Liu Ziming next to him.

Liu Ziming looked tired, but his eyes were very bright, and his mental state was very good, so he arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, my lord." The lowly will do everything in his power not to let a single outcasts die. ”

Wang Junlin nodded, but shook his head again and said: "At the moment, in addition to preventing them from starving to death, we must also cure the patients among them, so many people, it is impossible to immortalize with the medical skills of these doctors, so the next step is to continue to set up a homeless camp to settle these people in this goldfish beach, and bury the corpses in time to prevent the epidemic from breeding." ”

"Also, more than 5,000 strong men have been organized from the victims, and I will let Zhang Tiangang take twenty personal soldiers to stay behind to personally take charge of this matter, and it is also to deter the people who may be sent by Donglai County."

"In addition, you can't let them be idle, you now arrange for someone to teach them the simplest literacy and arithmetic, and those who learn quickly give them a little more food, and give priority to sending them to the salt works, telling them that they will also give them fields to plant, and give them a stable life, and those who don't want to learn will be driven away directly."

Most of these victims were landless tenant farmers, who were drawn by the imperial court to build the Grand Canal, and later riots, most of them were killed by the army, and these people escaped, and the imperial court naturally did not dare to let them build the Grand Canal, so as not to disturb the minds of other laborers. But kill them! After all, there are more than 50,000 human lives, so let them fend for themselves. Of course, there will also be troops from various counties watching and driving them all the way, and they will not let them harm the township, so in fact, many of them have starved to death and died of disease along the way.

In fact, even before they left their homes, these people often did not have enough to eat, were displaced for several months, and used grass stalks, tree bark and other things to satisfy their hunger. Therefore, when setting up the camp of exiles, there were no lazy people, but there were many people who hid the steamed buns in their pockets and crotch, obviously because they were hungry and afraid, so Wang Junlin believed that learning arithmetic and literacy was not a difficulty at all for them, but a blessing.

Wang Junlin suddenly added: "You can't let them be full, just half full every day, ordinary homeless people just eat wild vegetable porridge, two meals a day, half a catty of rice every day, hungry and full, just don't starve to death." Organize to do chores to eat brown rice, with a ration of one and a half catties of rice to two catties of rice, and occasionally meaty; Those who learn literacy and arithmetic quickly, regardless of gender, young and old, will be filled with steamed buns and rice. ”

"Your Excellency is wise." Liu Ziming understood what Wang Junlin meant after a little thought, and hurriedly bowed down and agreed.

In fact, in addition to luck and wisdom, physical fitness is also very important to survive this wandering. Therefore, most of the more than 50,000 displaced people are sturdy men and sturdy young women, and there are very few old people, children, and infirm people, and almost all of them have died on the road.

It is really hard to imagine how serious the situation would be if these victims were provoked and controlled by people with good intentions, and riots would occur, but along the way, the county officials were only concerned about driving them out, and no one thought about this at all.

In addition, when setting up temporary camps, the names, places of origin, and clans of these more than 50,000 people should be clarified by cadastral division, and a register should be made. And in this process, there is one more thing to do. Wang Junlin said with a complicated expression.

"What's the matter?" Liu Ziming looked at Lord Taishou with a different expression, and couldn't help but wonder what made Lord Taishou pay so much attention.

Wang Junlin said with a stern expression: "While registering these people, we must also carefully inquire and investigate, and select out those who have eaten human flesh and killed their companions on the road, and who have directly participated in the riots and fought with officers and soldiers before. ”

Liu Ziming's face changed slightly, he really didn't think about this, killing people is nothing, it is normal for people to fight with others in order to survive in the death realm, and kill people. But people who have eaten human flesh can no longer be considered human.

As soon as Wang Junlin saw Liu Ziming's expression, he turned his head to Zhang Tiangang next to him and said, "You cooperate with Liu Ziming in this matter, be sure to pick out these people for me, and then send them to Snake Island, and the others to the salt field as usual." ”

Zhang Tiangang's face was as usual and respectfully said yes.

……

……

Wang Junlin was originally going to Snake Island, but because of a heavy rain last night, it was delayed until now, and just as he was about to set off by boat, he received an urgent report from Fangcheng County, Fanyang County, and then got off the boat, took a group of guards, and rode to Fangcheng County.

And when he arrived in Fangcheng County, the gloomy sky began to rain again, and it was getting bigger and bigger, but Wang Junlin did not find a place to shelter from the rain on the road, but walked forward in the rain, anyway, the perfume accompanied Chen Danying They had already returned to the county seat when they were in Rongcheng County, and at this time he led nearly a hundred guards and insect demons, Chunqiu Nu, Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba and others.

……

……

It was almost noon, Wang Junlin came to Fangcheng County, because Wang Junlin was a temporary decision, so the local officials and nobles of Fangcheng County did not know that Lord Taishou was coming, so they did not greet him, until the city gate official of the county town got the news and rushed to report to the county order, the county soldier captain, the county lieutenant and the county magistrate.
