Zhao Lei, the former governor under the command of Guan Yu, raised a second question: "100,000 people bring the old to help the young, and the road to Shu is difficult, but I am afraid that its speed will be slow." ”

This is the difficulty of "doing".

Yizhou is known as "the convenience of floating water", which can make full use of the Yangtze River and its tributaries for the turnover of people and goods.

However, in this era when boats only rely on oars and sails, it is easy for ships to go down the river, but it is difficult to go upstream; Moreover, the wind is mainly blowing from the northwest at this time, and it is not yet the season to use the wind power.

100,000 people must walk to Shuzhong on foot with both feet; And because of the difficulty of the Shu Road, this 1,800 miles is indeed difficult and dangerous.

Ma Liang thought for a while, and then said:

"Liang recommended General Zhao Lei. General Zhao was very familiar with the experience of supervising construction, so he could lead a group of men and horses to go first, open roads in the mountains, build bridges when encountering water, and set up tents for the people to live along the way, so as to ensure the unimpeded flow of the people's brigade. ”

Fa Zheng turned to Zhao Lei and asked: "Yu allocated 500 people to General Zhao, and gave you the right to temporarily use the counties and counties along the way to serve as laborers, and ordered you to repair the roads along the way in advance, build camp tents, and provide the people with passage and foothold, is the general willing?" ”

Zhao Lei thought about it, this was his original job, and building a people's camp was not as complicated as building a military camp tent, so he got up and hugged his fists and said: "The last general is duty-bound!" ”

The law issued an order immediately, and Zhao Lei took the signal and sent out the account to select the sergeant.

In this way, food, clothing, housing, and transportation have basically been solved, and Fa Zheng couldn't help but sigh a long sigh.

At this time, he suddenly thought of something again, so he turned to Jiang Wei and asked:

"It's February now, and at the turn of spring and winter, it's easy to breed epidemics, crowds gather, and it's even easier to spread. Boyo had previously written a treatise on the miscellaneous care of injuries and illnesses, but I wonder if he has any suggestions for preventing epidemics? ”

Jiang Wei hugged his fists:

"There is a folk song passed down by the divine doctor Hua Tuo, saying that 'Artemisia annua can cure diseases in March, and it can be burned as firewood in May and June'. In the end, he thought that when he used Artemisia annua as medicine every morning and evening to cook medicinal soup, so that the people could take a bowl in the morning and evening, they would definitely be able to strengthen their bodies and avoid diseases. ”

"In addition, Xiang Pet and three hundred ambulances are still in the city, and the last general will order this department to walk with the people and take proper care of them along the way."

"If there is a person who is seriously ill and unable to walk, it will be recommended that the patient's family stay in the local county for treatment and be incorporated into the local nationality."

When Fa Zheng heard this, his jaw was not stopped.

Now that the main difficulties were solved, everyone spoke freely for a while, and finally agreed on the itinerary, route, supplies along the way, epidemic prevention and control, and other matters of the trip.

Just as he was about to be disbanded and separated, Ma Liang frowned and said:

"I forgot, after all, there are 100,000 people, and it will be extremely time-consuming and laborious to let them know all these decrees."

His concerns were not unfounded.

It must be known that the difficulty of traveling for an army of 100,000 is not the same as that of a hundred thousand people, after all, the people are not as organized as the army, and they can be ordered and prohibited.

If you want to communicate alone, the time and manpower required during the period are even more difficult to fight.

Everyone has no good law for a moment, and they all fall into deep thought.

And at this moment, Jiang Wei came out again and said: "The last general suggested that he should protect the armor." ”

The circle asked, "What is armor protection?" ”

Jiang Wei replied:

"The imperial court governs the people of a county, with five families as 'wu', ten families as 'shi', and one hundred schools as 'li'; but this time 100,000 people come from different counties and counties, and there is no 'wu', 'shi', or 'li' to which they belong. It is better to take the household as a unit and set up a household head; Ten households are A, and the first is set up; The top ten are guaranteed, and the chief of the guarantee is established. In this way, if there are five people as a household, then one person is fifty people, one person is five hundred, and if there are 100,000 people, there are two hundred people. ”

"Let the people elect the respected people around them as the chief and the first chief, so that our army only needs to control these 200 chiefs, so that the government orders can be issued layer by layer and unimpeded."

In fact, the root of the armor protection system is the "household registration and marriage" system for the purpose of "suing adultery" in the Qin period. Later, when Wang Anshi of the Northern Song Dynasty changed the law, he improved and implemented it, and the Republic of China also had high hopes for the law.

This law was adopted by successive feudal dynasties, with the "household" as the basic unit of society, and through the joint protection and joint sitting law, the whole country was turned into a big cage, so as to establish the feudal dynasty's strict control over the country.

However, there are two sides to everything, and if the "law of joint sitting" is separated from this law, this law can also be regarded as a good way to keep the government and government decrees smooth and effectively communicate with the government and the people.

Sure enough, Fa Zheng took the case and shouted: "This plan is wonderful! ”

His mood suddenly brightened, and he suddenly smiled: "If Boyo is not a military general, he will definitely be able to make a difference if he becomes a civil servant." ”

Jiang Wei bowed and arched to show modesty.

After all-night discussions, everyone raised questions one by one, and finally brainstormed to solve the various problems in general.

******

On the morning of February 15, the 25th year of Han Jian'an (220 AD), after all the preliminary preparations were completed, the people's brigade finally started.

Looking at the endless crowd in front of him slowly moving westward, Jiang Wei suddenly thought of Du Fu's famous article "Soldier Chariot Travel" in the Tang Dynasty.

The chariots, the horses, and the pedestrians, bows and arrows, are all at the waist.

The grandmother and wife sent each other off, and the dust did not see the Xianyang Bridge.

It's just that the difference is that the Tang Emperor opened the border, this time the Han army was fully prepared, and Ma Liang, Wang Fu and others were officials from Jingzhou, who really treated these immigrants as siblings, and took care of them along the way.

Because of the old people, women, and children, the speed of the march was not fast, and when the weather was fine, they could walk thirty or fifty miles a day, and if it rained, it would be thankful that they could catch up with the twenty miles.

Fortunately, Yizhou has been carefully governed by Zhuge Liang and others, and the government is extremely clear and efficient, Zhao Lei held the official document of Fazheng, and asked the government along the way to prepare 100,000 people's clothing, food, housing and transportation in advance, and the government along the way can prepare with all their hearts without the slightest complaint.

The nursing camp led by Xiang Pet also did its best, boiling several large pots of Artemisia annua soup every day for the people to drink; He also put what he learned into practice, and every time he arrived at a new settlement, he would use the technique of digging toilets taught by Jiang Wei to that place.

Therefore, along the way, although people continued to fall ill, there was no large-scale epidemic.

For those who fell ill, Ma Liang immediately arranged for the nearest county government to receive and resettle them on a household basis, and took care of the local government for at least half a year; He also assured the people that after their physical recovery, whether they stayed in the local area or continued to move forward, the imperial court would make proper arrangements for them.

Every night, he would also convene the newly appointed chief of security to convey the latest decrees, and personally led a team to visit the people to calm their emotions.

The measures are effective, Ma Liang is very dedicated, and the prestige of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang is high, so the journey is hard, and the people can finally have expectations and be optimistic to deal with it.

Jiang Wei was personally escorted by the five thousand county soldiers of Yu Linwei and Ma Zhong.

Compared with the slow journey of the people, he was more worried about Fazheng's body.
