Although Yidu City is a big city, more than 600,000 people have poured in at once.

The people fled the war, and they also hurried away, and when they reached Yidu City, the food they brought with them was basically eaten.

Wang Jian hurriedly issued another order, asking Zheng Yuqiao, who was left behind in Jinan, to hurry up and transport the grain.

Wang Jian said silently: "Count the days, the newly planted potatoes and corn should be more than two months to mature, just get through these two months." ”

Then there is the problem of the resettlement of the people, these people under him are all military generals, and they have a set of wars, but they are not good at releasing the people.

And the officials in Yidu City were not thinking about the people at all, they were all anxious to see him, the Son of Heaven, and no one cared about the resettlement of the people.

As a last resort, Wang Jian gathered all the officials together to discuss how to solve the problem of food and accommodation for these people brought from Denglai Second Mansion.

As a result, after discussing for a long time, there was no clue, and the officials had a set of sycophants against the emperor, asking them to pay for the land, and they all pretended to be deaf and dumb, which made Wang Jian upset.

After the officials left, Yao'er intimately pinched Wang Jian's shoulder.

Wang Jian said angrily: "These old things, none of them are useful!" ”

Confucius Meng was left by Wang Jian, he was also present, he knew why the emperor was angry, he tentatively said: "The emperor is merciful, he is really a saint through the ages, a few days ago, the minister also urged General Cui to collect the young and strong to enlist in the army, but he would rather die than allow it, which made the minister admire," he patted Cui Dazhuang's ass slightly, and then said: "The minister implores the emperor to allow General Cui to recruit troops!" ”

Wang Jian pondered for a long time, he did not tell Confucius Meng that the focus of his defense was not in Yidu City, but in Jinan City, so he did not plan to let these more than 600,000 people stay in Yidu City, he also had to take people back to Jinan.

However, since people are brought by themselves, it is necessary to ensure their safety. And Jinan City may not be able to accommodate so many people, so it is better to let Yidu City also divert some people.

He immediately decreed that all young and strong people between the ages of 16 and 40 who had families and were willing to serve as soldiers could report to Cui Dazhuang's camp, and their families could be resettled in Yidu City, and the government was also responsible for distributing houses and land to them; If you don't want to be a soldier, you can follow the Son of Heaven back to Jinan City.

Confucius Shimeng was puzzled: "Your Majesty, the ministers are puzzled, where did this money and land come from?" ”

Wang Jian already had an idea, he said: "You don't have to worry about this, I will go back to Jinan tomorrow, and when the time comes, you go and ask Cui Dazhuang, and I will explain to him." ”

After Confucius Meng left, Wang Jian summoned Cui Dazhuang alone and gave an explanation.

As long as the officials were not allowed to pay for the land, they would be very efficient, and after only two days, the results were counted, and there were more than 30,000 young and strong people who originally intended to serve as soldiers, and more than 100,000 people with their families, and these people were left in Yidu City.

Early in the morning of the third day, the streets of Yidu City were crowded with people, and the people watched the emperor's royal car, the big yellow carriage, slowly leave the city until it disappeared at the end of the official road, and they were reluctant to leave for a long time.

"Hey, have you heard? The emperor drove the expedition this time, and killed Kong Youde's anti-thief fart. ”

"Yes, yes, I've never seen such a magnificent scene in my life, look at this majesty, this momentum."

"Yes, I also heard about it, and said that the emperor saved 600,000 people in Denglai Second Mansion from fire and water, what a rare good emperor."

In the crowd, a masked girl quietly listened to people's discussions, and a small servant next to her laughed shamefully: "Hmph, there is no good emperor in this world, I tell you, he left nearly 100,000 homeless people, these people want to eat, drink and live, will rob your land, seize your house, do you mean to let them rob?" ”

The people who were still singing the emperor's praises just now listened to his words and stammered: "This... No way... There are so many people, no, I have to go home and talk to my mother-in-law, saying that I can't give them food if I say anything! ”

The girl sneered, and sang the praises of the emperor for saving the people, but when she heard that others wanted to divide their food and land, she was unwilling.

In an instant, the crowd of onlookers dispersed.

Those who didn't leave were poor families who didn't have much food at home.

The little guy sighed again and said: "Alas, this cannibalistic world, if you want to be free of disasters, follow me and pray to the Holy Mother to go down to earth and save the common people from fire and water." ”

"Vacuum home, Our Lady of Birthless!"

Yidu City Guard.

"General Cui, the official's mansion has been besieged for a day, and there are people everywhere who ask for houses and land from the official, what should I do?"

After Wang Jian's royal car left, Confucius and Meng were so disturbed that they didn't dare to go back to the government to do business.

Cui Dazhuang smiled "haha" and said, "Don't worry, come, I'll introduce you to someone." ”

Confucius Shimeng noticed that there were two people standing in the room, the two stood separately from the master and servant, a brocade girl in a black flying fish suit, and the other was wearing a python robe and a jade belt.

Cui Dazhuang introduced: "This is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Wang Jian, Lord Wang, who was ordered by the emperor to stay behind to deal with the displaced people. ”

Wang Jian had already put on a human skin mask, and even Cui Dazhuang didn't recognize him, let alone Confucius and Meng.

It turned out that Wang Jian asked Zu Dabi to escort more than 400,000 people to leave first, and it was not Wang Jian who was sitting in the emperor's royal car, but Yao'er and Li'er, and he and Qi'er stayed behind to deal with the resettlement of the remaining refugees.

After the two of them saw each other, Confucius Meng said: "Lord Wang, I don't know what the emperor's will is before leaving?" ”

Wang Jian arched his hand in the direction of Jinan and said: "The emperor is benevolent, he can't bear the suffering of the people, but the official can't manage so much, the official heard about it, Kong Youde went and returned, for the sake of insurance, the official decided to avoid the edge for the time being, and tomorrow he will withdraw to Jinan with General Li Yan and Li." ”

Confucius Meng was taken aback when he heard that Wang had run away briefly: "Lord Wang, don't do it!" ”

He also knew that it was an impossible task for the emperor to let Wang Jian stay to deal with the resettlement of the displaced people, but what he didn't expect was that this Lord Wang was a greedy person who was afraid of death, and his first thought was not how to complete the emperor's task, but to escape!

Wang Jian pretended to ignore Confucius and Meng, and he said: "Why not, protecting the emperor is the duty of this official, and as for the safety of Yidu City, I can't help this official!" ”

Confucius Meng expected that Wang Jian was a greedy person who was afraid of death, so he turned to Cui Dazhuang on the side for help, hoping that Cui Dazhuang would help persuade Wang Jian to stay and defend the city together.

Confucius Master Meng hurriedly said: "General Cui, before leaving, the emperor told the official that he would find you if he had something, and you couldn't just leave it!" ”

But to his disappointment, Cui Dazhuang smiled and ignored his request at all.
