"Brother Li laughed." Yang Qi smiled: "I'm not an immortal, how can I have the truth of an unpredictable prophet?" I'm just a little worried, so I'm keeping some supplies here for future assignments. ”

"Then Brother Yang, there must be some arrangement?" Li Mingwei asked urgently.

"Come to think of it, Yan'an Mansion should be full of bandits now." Yang Qi speculated: "The top priority is to send sentinels to find out the news from the outside world, one is to contact Zhao Qianhu, the second is to find out the current movement of the bandit army, and the third is to find a place to stay, which can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating." ”

"Not bad! This is serious. Li Mingwei nodded and said, "What about after that?" What to do? ”

"Waiting for the good news of the court." Yang Qi said slowly.

"Chen Xiaoji is there..." Li Mingwei asked.

"Brother Li, you just need to tell him that the military rations are rationed on demand every day." Yang Qi said: "When we go back, we can use his forces to help us." ”

"Wonderful!" Li Mingwei said: "Brother Yang, you are really a god! ”

"Brother Li, don't praise your little brother." Yang Qi said with a smile.

On the same day, Li Mingwei found Hu Feng and Jiang Jiren, and ordered the two of them to lead the people of the headquarters to go out to find out the news.

More than 60 miles east of Gaobai Mountain, 80 miles west of Suidezhou, there is a village fort named Muzhuang, where more than 4,000 families live, is the largest village and town under the jurisdiction of Suidezhou, with a population of more than 13,000 people. Muzhuang originally did not have such a large population, just because there were several large families here, in order to defend their homes and property against the horses built a city wall, which has been passed down for many years, and the people have gathered more and more people in order to avoid bandits, horses, and wars.

Now Suide was captured by the rebels, the first few days were fine, the rebels captured the official warehouse, distributed food, the people opened the door for a time to welcome, and many good young people joined the rebels, as a result, after the rebels defeated the official army outside the city, they began to plunder the people, especially some women in the family, were caught in the barracks and ruined, many women were humiliated, and committed suicide one after another, that is, there was a fluke that did not succeed in suicide, and the next day was also crazy and wandering on the streets of Suide with their open breasts exposed, and the people fled in humiliation.

On the first day, only hundreds of people went to Muzhuang for refuge, it was heard that the owner of Muzhuang helped the refugees, and also set up a porridge factory outside the village, giving porridge day and night, for a time the people came to vote, it was only a few days of effort, thousands of people have gathered here, at this time there are temporary grass huts and wooden houses everywhere outside the Muzhuang, and it was lively for a while, and people came and went.

Muzhuang Juyi Hall.

"Owner, it's not okay to go on like this." Liu Shangzhi said that he is the most virtuous and respected person among the many lieutenants of this wooden village, and the owner of the wooden village must convene several lieutenants to discuss and deal with it.

"Yes, you see that this person is getting more and more gathered, let's not talk about this bandit for the time being, even the food we have in reserve, and we are not allowed to spend it like this." Zong Jie said that he is the descendant of several founders of Muzhuang, so he not only has the identity of the chief, but also the third chair of the Muzhuang Juyi Hall, and is known as the "third master" by everyone.

"Owner, everyone, the current situation is compelling, many people in the township come to vote, and that is also looking at our Muzhuang Juyi Hall, we can't ignore it." Zhang Qinghai said that he was the second leader of the righteous hall, known as the "second master".

"Second master, you said you can't ignore it? Then do you know that it has only been three days, and we have already consumed nearly 100 stone of grain, so how much grain do we have? Liu Shangzhi asked: "In this world, only if you have surplus food in your hands, you don't panic." ”

"Second master, what Elder Liu said is that we have to find a way to solve this matter as soon as possible." Zong Jie said.

"Owner, this matter still needs to be decided." Liu Shangzhi said respectfully.

"I know what everybody means." The owner of the Muzhuang: Shang Zuning said: "At the beginning of our Muzhuang, we must be like the neighbors in trouble, we must lend a hand, so I have such a weather in the Muzhuang, now the court is in trouble, and the neighbors have suffered from bandits, can we forget the original intention?" ”

"Alas!" Liu Shangzhi slapped his thigh and sighed.

"Owner, the people have their own court to make the decision, small disasters and small disasters we will definitely take the lead, but now this trend has exceeded our ability, if we want to save these people, then our wooden village is afraid to be ruined!" Zong Jie said urgently.

"Don't discuss this matter anymore, I have made up my mind, the top priority is how to properly resettle these refugees, you must know that the bandit is in front of you!" Huang Zuning is colorful.

Liu Shangzhi looked at Zong Jie, saw that he bowed his head and was silent, he didn't have any good ideas, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Second master?" Shang Zuning, the owner of the Muzhuang, knew that the two of them were against the relief of the refugees, and they would definitely not come up with any ideas, so he turned his head and asked Zhang Qinghai.

"Owners, everyone! The word "crisis" is a blessing and a curse, as long as it is handled properly, it will be another growth of my wooden village. Zhang Qinghai arched his hand and said: "I have six plans to turn the crisis into safety and turn the danger into a disaster!" It's just that we still need all of you here to work together to succeed. ”

"Oh? And how to do it? Liu Shangzhi's eyes lit up and said, this Zhang Qinghai has always been resourceful, and now such a tricky thing can be resolved?

"Second master, it doesn't hurt to talk about it, if there is any dispatch, we will do our best." After listening to Zhang Qinghai's words, Zong Jie also looked at him with some excitement.

"Okay." Zhang Qinghai said loudly: "One sent Zhuang Ding to investigate the movements of the bandit army, two contacted Yan'an Prefecture for help, three maintained the order of refugees outside Zhuang, four sent barefoot doctors to prevent diseases, five organizations recruited refugees to build their own houses, work for relief, and six organizations organized refugees to divide acres of land to open up land and resume production. ”

"That's better than no grain, just do what the second master said!" The owner of the village, Shang Zuning, clapped his hand.

The organizational structure formed by Muzhuang for many years quickly put into operation, vehicles, personnel, and material resources were continuously sent to the refugee camp, and more than a dozen chiefs of Muzhuang took their own heads, and began to arrange them into a first according to the household registration system of the Ming Dynasty outside the refugee camps.

Liu Shangzhi took Zhuang Ding and the doctors into the refugee camp, arranged to patrol the streets, punished the hooligans Qingpi, and treated the people.
