The team gradually walked out of the boundary of Yanggu County, and when Wu Zhi turned back, he had a nostalgia in his heart, and Wu Zhi was not nostalgic for the place of Yanggu County, but for the people who lived in this place.

Thinking of the send-off of tens of thousands of people just now, Wu Zhi was secretly excited in his heart, it seems that it is more refreshing to be a good person than to be a bad person!

Wu Zhi is also rich and powerful now, and his casual plucking of a hair is a great favor for an ordinary family, as long as he often gives kindness and does good deeds, and accumulates enough character, then good luck will come often!

That timely rain Song Jiang relied on this trick to accumulate super high popularity on the rivers and lakes, so that when he walked there, there were people who pushed the gold and jade to worship and obey him.

To do good deeds, you have to leave a name - Wu Zhi also secretly determined one of his hobbies in the future.

……

……

There is Wu Song in front of the team to open the way, Wu Zhi and the others are not worried about encountering any blinding robbers on the road, in fact, the road from Yanggu County to Qingzhou is full of fields and villages, there are no barren mountains and mountains, it is very peaceful, and strong people will not rob houses on this road.

The speed of the procession was very fast, along the way, the family members in the carriage were pulling homely, and the men on the horses outside were joking and nonsense, and unconsciously walked most of the way, and not long after noon, the team was almost able to see the tall cyan city wall of Qingzhou City!

Qingzhou is located in the northeast of Shandong, bordering Hebei, is the largest state city on East East Road in the Great Song Dynasty, which is equivalent to the core city of several state cities on East Road, and the officials who have served as the prefect of Qingzhou have a higher official quality than the prefects of the surrounding states.

Similarly, the generals and horses in the Qingzhou army camp are also the core of the entire Jingdong East Road military horses, and all the senior generals are in Qingzhou.

This is also the main reason why Wu Zhi sent Wu Song here, only in Qingzhou, Wu Song can have a better chance of being promoted to a senior general.

This is the same as working in a large enterprise in later generations, with the same education and ability, working hard in the branch for ten years is definitely not as fast as pouring tea in the headquarters for ten years......

Wu Zhi and his entourage have come to the outside of Qingzhou City, the tall and mighty Qingzhou city wall can be clearly seen, Qingzhou City is very prosperous and developed, outside this Qingzhou City, there are nearly 1,000 households densely gathered, and the people's houses here are also very spacious and generous, people come and go on the road, and there are all kinds of small merchants and hawkers selling goods.

For this small gathering place outside the city is so prosperous, everyone who has never been to Qingzhou is secretly guessing how prosperous Qingzhou will be.

However, Wu Zhi looked at the gathering place outside the city at this time, and the expression on his face was a little complicated.

If Wu Zhi remembers correctly, in the Water Margin, Song Jiang, Yanshun Wang Ying and others used tricks to get Qin Ming drunk in order to keep Qin Ming, and then that night, Wang Ying and the other three pretended to be Qin Ming and led the thieves to kill all the people here, regardless of men, women, old and children!

After killing the people in this gathering place, this place will become a rubble field full of the corpses of men and women, old people and children!

These so-called heroes are really unscrupulous for the sake of the end!

Especially Wang Ying and the others in Qingfeng Mountain, Song Jiang just wanted them to make a big fuss and frame Qin Ming, there was no need to kill all men, women, and children! But none of them remained, and they were extremely vicious!

And Qin Ming was also beheaded by Murong Yanda because of this.

Don't blame Murong Yanda, after all, so many people have died, anyone will be angry, let alone the Qingzhou prefect.

Fortunately, now Wu Zhi is here!

The reason for all this is because Song Jiang came to find Hua Rong, and then he was framed by the villain, and in the end, Hua Rong also became a thief in Qingfeng Mountain, and Qingfeng Mountain had Hua Rong in order to catch Qin Ming, and there would be this "Qin Ming walking in the rubble field at night"!

Looking at the fresh life in front of him, Wu Zhi secretly shook his palm, he said that he would not allow the tragedy to happen again.

When they arrived at the city gate, Jiang Jing and the shopkeeper Zhang of Qingzhou Proud Building had already brought a group of people there to greet them.

After Wu Zhi, Wu Songyun and others dismounted one after another to salute them one by one, everyone was about to enter the city together, and Wu Zhi's eyes were suddenly attracted by the scene on the right side of the city gate.

On the right side of the gate were a crowd of ragged refugees, mostly with their children, who were standing in a row against the wall, with a thatch stuck on their heads.

Insert a straw label, which means selling children.

At the edge of the city wall were rows of children with straw sticks, and their relatives stood by them, and some of the city's inhabitants went back and forth to pick them up, and from time to time children were selected to be bought.

Wu Zhi looked over there puzzled, he had been in this era for a while, and it was not uncommon to occasionally see some orphans selling themselves on the street, but this kind of blatant buying and selling of human beings like a bazaar, Wu Zhi had seen it for the first time.

Wu Zhi is strange!

He wondered that Qingzhou City was a very rich city, how could there be so many refugees who couldn't survive that they had to sell their flesh and blood?

If it weren't for the compulsion of life, no one would be willing to sell their flesh and blood.

In addition, although the government has a tacit attitude towards individual human trafficking on the streets, it will never and dare not ignore such a blatant and massive human trafficking.

But right now, these people are right next to the city gates, trading people under the noses of the officers and soldiers guarding the city, and neither the officers and soldiers nor the citizens who come and go feel that it is inappropriate, and it seems that they are not strange and seem to take it for granted.

"Could it be that this is the atmosphere in Qingzhou?" Wu Zhi looked at the side of the city wall and shook his head, his face full of doubt.

Not only Wu Zhi, but behind him, Wu Song, Brother Yun, and Xiao Rang all frowned tightly after seeing the scene by the city wall.

Shopkeeper Zhang saw everyone's doubts, he smiled slightly, and explained to everyone with a hint of sighing: "You officials don't know, these people have fled from Hebei, some time ago, the Yellow River in the north broke the embankment again!" ”

Wu Zhi heard that he was a little clear, no wonder there were refugees here, it turned out that they had fled from the flood.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Wu Zhi said to the shopkeeper Zhang in confusion: "But now that spring has just begun, and it is not the rainy season, how can the Yellow River burst its banks and flood?" ”

"The official asked the point." Shopkeeper Zhang secretly admired Wu Zhi's thoughtfulness in his heart, and continued to reply: "Hebei in the north of Qingzhou is in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and the flow has always been very large. ”

Wu Zhi suddenly realized, thinking about it, there is no cement in this era, the river embankment is all reinforced by mud mixed with sand and gravel and mixed with bamboo chips, and the soil is frozen in winter and is naturally very strong, but once the temperature warms up, then the river embankment will become sticky and soft, and it is naturally easy to be washed out of the gap.

"However, the gap in this embankment is not big, it only affects a few Zhuangzi, these refugee officials have accepted them into the army on Jingdong North Road, but those who have girls at home cannot be brought into the army, so these refugees will come to Qingzhou to sell their daughters here to the big families as maids, which is also a good destination for these girls."

After listening to the shopkeeper Zhang's explanation, Wu Zhi and the others were relieved, and then took a closer look at the city wall, and the row of children standing against the wall with straw sticks on their heads were indeed all girls.

However, Wu Zhi also secretly felt interesting in his heart, and the Great Song Dynasty government used the trick of recruiting the victims into the army, and the state provided for the relief of the victims, this trick has been tried and tested, which can effectively relieve the victims, and prevent the people from starving all over the wilderness to cause the plague, and can also prevent the occurrence of riots, which is really a lot of money!

This method, throughout thousands of years in China, only the Song Dynasty, which was not bad for money, dared to play like this!

After the people entered the army, the men became soldiers, and their families could also accompany the army to help cook and wash the chores, but the girls really couldn't be brought in.

The refugees only joined the army temporarily, and they will still return to their hometowns when the disaster passes, and in this era, the girl is not sold to a large family for a lifetime, and there is a fixed number of years.

When the year comes, the maids are left to stay, for those orphan maids, most employers will be obliged to find a good family for the maids to marry, didn't Pan Jinlian first be a maid in a big family, and then married Wu Dalang?

It's just that she's got a vicious master......

In this era, some of the maids who came out of the scholarly door were all knowledgeable and well-behaved, and once they returned home after the expiration of the term, they were the objects of ordinary people's rivalry, and they were very sought-after.

Even some ordinary people in the city are happy to send their girls to the scholarly door to be maids for a few years.

Therefore, although the refugees are selling their daughters, they do not have much regret and reluctance on their faces, and they are all looking forward to a good family to buy their daughters.

Wu Zhi rubbed his big hands and smiled, he just dismissed some maids in his family, and there was a shortage of a few places, plus these were children from poor families, they were very simple, and they must be neat to buy them as maids.

And Wu Zhi thinks that although his family is not a scholarly family, it is also a good family, their family treats the maids very well, the maids are not only high-paid, but the food is full of fish and meat, and the maids of Wu Zhi's family in Yanggu County are all fat and fat......

"It's time for good deeds again!"

Wu Zhi shook his head helplessly, he had already decided to help those refugees.

There's no way, who makes helping others a hobby for Wu Zhi......
