The prisoner camp had a little bit of life after everyone had a bowl of gruel. But Tiger Claw, Stone Beak and the others were a little anxious. Although it was only a bowl of gruel for everyone, 40,000 people came down, and all the supplies and rations for the honored soldiers for a day and a half were gone. It will take three days for the food to arrive, so will the next time let the Rongbing starve with him?

The Honored Soldier starved and the Tiger Claw had no opinion at all. Even if the soldiers were all starved to death, Tiger Claw would not take a second look.

It's just that these honored soldiers are all people who survived the battle on the battlefield, and the people of this era are also generally barbaric, and once they starve, they are bound to rob the other soldiers in the camp of rations. This can lead to chaos.

And now that it is not safe outside, it is impossible for the Hong'an battalion to maintain sufficient combat strength, and it is impossible to use the rations of other soldiers to help these prisoners.

Just as Tigerpaw was wondering whether to let Stonebeak persuade the delicate baron, he noticed that the baroness had made a new move.

First, she singled out all the male captives with dyed red hair among the captives and held them in solitary confinement. Second, she selected some of the more capable women from the remaining women and children captives, appointed them as the leaders of the captives, and each of them managed a part of the captives, reporting and communicating directly with her. Finally, she summoned a meeting of the centurions of the Honored Soldiers and the leaders of the captives, and announced several things.

Tiger Claw asked people to inquire about the content of the meeting. When the news came back, he admired this delicate baronesse.

Several things announced by Cai Fu include: First, the prisoners are subject to a joint sitting system, and the honored soldiers follow the supervision and management. One captive escaped, and ten were punished, and ten escaped, and a hundred were punished. 100 people fled, and the Honorees were punished.

Second, the captives in each unit can send a part of them to dig food or collect firewood outside.

Third, the honored soldiers with enough military merits took turns to go out, and as long as they brought back thirty catties of food, they could choose women from the captives to become their own women. As long as you have sixty pounds, you can pick two. But as long as these women are picked back, they must be treated according to the rules of Huaxia, and they must not be beaten, scolded and harmed. If the military merit is insufficient, as long as you get back fifty catties of food at a time, you can also choose a woman.

When Tiger Paw heard this, he suddenly felt that it was not unreasonable for a delicate woman to be the county magistrate. As soon as these measures come out, as long as these captives do not escape, I am afraid that no one will starve to death. The aggressive tenfang men have been held in solitary confinement again. The chances of these female captives escaping are really not high, if their children are still held in the camp.

After hearing this, Tiger Claw saw that many honored soldiers applied to leave the camp overnight to go fishing and hunting. These former slaves were afraid that they hadn't touched a woman for a long time, and now they were given the opportunity to choose a woman by themselves, and they were naturally as excited as a bloody little cub.

The weather is becoming more and more evil, and even if there is snow in the sky, the ice on the lake is not very thick, and it can break at any time. The green-eyed men pushed the sailboat and smashed through the ice out of the lake.

At dawn, after these honored soldiers reduced their number of soldiers, they brought back tens of thousands of catties of fish and shrimp.

Cai Rong really kept his promise and asked these people to choose the woman they liked as their wives. Ordinary people are lucky to be able to find a woman who picks one out of ten. Although these women from the ten directions have a hard time and their appearance is not as exquisite as that of Chinese women, they are still beautiful and eye-catching from more than 10,000 people.

This greatly stimulated the remaining honored soldiers, and everyone went out to fight hard. Because of the abundant food supply and relatively strict management in Hong'an Camp before, there were more wild animals outside, and these people rarely went out empty-handed. It didn't take long for the meat in the captive camp to pile up. This not only solved the problem of food shortage, but also solved the military merit reward of the invalids. None of the things that Tiger Claw and the others feared happened.

In the past few days to solve the problem of food for the captives, Cai Rong also lived in the prisoner camp, eating and living with these women and children. While the Propaganda Department further pacified the captives, Cai Rong also told the story of his transformation from a captive to a baron and a county magistrate.

Her story made her quickly accepted by the captives. At the same time, because of her presence, most of the captives also came out of their confusion and despair, and began to have a certain hope for life, making them believe that or it was really the leaders and men who were wrong.

A few days later, when the food arrived, Cai Rong did one more thing, and finally all the women and children in the captives fully agreed with her.

Because this time, she proposed to Chaolin that since the culprits who caused the war between Huaxia and the Ten Parties were the leaders and men of the Ten Directions, then the women of the Ten Parties and their children who did not dye their hair were innocent, they had already suffered a lot from the war, and now that they were willing to join Huaxia, they could not become slaves of Huaxia, but should become civilians in Huaxia, and enjoy the same regulations and treatment as women and children in other parts of Huaxia.

After these words came out, Hong'an was moved. The other attachés in Hong'an County who have not yet taken office are very worried, there has never been a precedent for this matter, and if they are so reckless, if they annoy the king, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The soldiers were a little dissatisfied with the self-asserted county magistrate. The captives were also touched to know that the mushrooms had fought for their status.

Chao Lin Cheng was obviously caught off guard by this statement. The radio did not respond to the question for several days. The final response was sent by fast horse in the form of an official document to Lin Cheng.

The official reply of the Government Council is as follows: First, the men and leaders of the ten parties, as the culprits of this battle, will be enslaved for at least ten years, and some of the leaders and war criminals will not be handed over to Hong'an County, which cannot be changed. Second, in view of the suggestion of the magistrate of Cairong County, the Government Council can agree to her proposal in principle. However, as citizens of China, these women and children could no longer enjoy the slave rations, and they had to pay taxes on time after the autumn harvest next year. If the tax cannot be collected, the person concerned will be demoted. Third, in order to support the construction of Hong'an County, the Kingdom Association will support a certain number of tools, livestock, grain varieties and the most basic grain in Hong'an County. Food will be available until May next year.

The meaning of Kumon is very clear. The men of the Ten Directions must be slaves for more than ten years, which is not negotiable.

Since Cai Fu took advantage of the loopholes of the kingdom's propaganda slogans to fight for the interests of those women and children, then the kingdom treated them as normal. The kingdom will only give you food until the month of May, and in September you will have to pay taxes, and if you can't pay it, it will deal with you. As for what to do with the food for the middle four months, you can figure it out for yourselves.

Cai Rong read the official document and saw at a glance that it was Lin Ji's handwriting. This kind of curved road, no one can think of it except for the forest tracks. The deeper meaning of the official document is nothing more than wanting her to retreat.

But how can the mushrooms be returned? Without Chaolin, won't she be able to survive picking mushrooms?

After receiving the reply, she summoned the leaders of the honored soldiers and the captives, as well as the officials of the county magistrate, to announce the news. The centurion and those dispatchers had a difficult face, and obviously felt that it was better to be soft.

But the leader of the captives was as elated as anything.

They pointed to the centurion and the others opposite: "In other words, we are the same as them?" ”

Cai Rong said: "It's not the same for the time being, when you go back and learn well, I will declare your official position, and then you will be the same as them." ”

"Then we can go out of the camp on our own, without anyone following?" Someone else asked hesitantly.

Cai Fu said: "No one needs to follow. However, the barracks still can't be walked around. But we have already chosen the address, and we will build our own house outside these days, and we will move out from here and move around freely. ”

The women wept with joy. Sometimes people need freedom, and they don't have to do anything, they just need that freedom.

"But we can only eat food until early summer, and we have to contribute to the king in autumn. Otherwise, our county magistrate may be fined. The people in the dispatch couldn't help but remind. This is completely different from what they imagined before, although they won the hearts and minds of these women and children, they will also have to suffer in the next year, which they do not want to see.

The women said, "Can we still have a meal?" That's the kind of thin one. ”

"You can eat it dry." Mushroom picking.

The women said, "That's okay, that's fine." We can leave this to the children, as long as we can get out and we can get food. What would the king contribute? Tell us, let's go get it together, and we won't delay the county magistrate. ”

Before, they traveled from place to place, fighting all the way, and still got food to feed the men and children. Now the children can basically worry, and they no longer have to worry about war at any time, and they don't believe that they can't get enough food to worship the king. After all, stability is more important to them than anything else.

When the women had said this, the centurion and the men kept their mouths shut. On this day, the prisoner camp was very enthusiastic and jubilant. It was as if they were the victors in the war of relocation.

Cai Rong chose the address to establish the county seat near Hong'an Camp, and thousands of men and thousands of women and children here were in full swing to build it. They worked hard every day, went in and out of the mountains and forests to cut trees, built houses in designated places, and worked tirelessly to climb the ice and snow.

Cai Fu followed them to eat and live together, asking about everything, showing an extremely stubborn side. She also lost a lot of weight in a few days.

On this day, there were supplies delivered to Chaolin again. After receiving the supplies, she was invited back to the barracks by the Shibei couple, and the two cooked hot pot to entertain her.

Picking mushrooms gulped down the meat and prepared to pack more things to take away, explaining, "I can't delay too long, I have to watch the supplies go into storage and count them again by the way." I felt that there was something wrong with the numbers, and it would be too late for the convoy to leave. Anyway, you don't lack food, so I'll take it all. ”

The stone-beaked couple watched dryly, and there was nothing they could do.

After a long time, Shi Beak saw that Cai Fu had already scalded and eaten all the food he had prepared and packed it, so he took out a flat leather bag and handed it to Cai Fu: "You have to hand over your things." I've seen everything. Sister-in-law, don't be too stubborn, that person is smart in everything, and he is very confused in the handling of these things, don't be stubborn with him. ”

The hand of the mushroom trembled, and the spoon containing the soup fell to the table.

After Lin Ji popularized the title of relatives, it really made it very convenient for everyone to sort out various relationships, so everyone already agreed with this set of things very much.

The stone beak is smaller than Lin Ji, although he doesn't call Lin Ji brother, but in private he calls Hu Yi'er sister-in-law. In addition, he will probably call Zhu Monkey's wife Duyan sister-in-law, and others will not have this treatment. After all, he is the earl of the kingdom, and the king's hair is small, and his status is still very respected.

Lin Xi had previously implemented a dual marriage system in order to improve the status of men and dismantle the influence of the tribe. In the past few years, as the role of men in production and life has become prominent, coupled with the reduction of men due to conquest, the phenomenon of monogamy and even triple wives has appeared. The words "three wives and four concubines" were proposed by Lin Ji himself. In the upper echelons of the kingdom, there are many people who have more than one woman in their families.

In fact, there has always been a saying that Lin Ji should marry a few more queens, but Lin Ji's previous departure made everyone dare not mention it again.

Cai Rong himself let them choose two when Rong Bing chose a woman, in addition to getting more food and ensuring a woman's marriage, it may not have a deeper meaning.

Now Stone Beak calls her sister-in-law? What does that mean? Did the man know what she meant? Or did he actually make a decision a long time ago, and just deliberately made things difficult for her again? Otherwise, why let her out of the city, and he wouldn't say anything?

Cai Fu hurriedly went to clean up the soup spoon and leftover soup on the table, and Yu Ji had already taken it.

She thought that the key might be the leather bag, quickly took it, opened it and checked, and the leather bag contained a book, an old ginseng and a letter.

Cai Rong opened the letter, only to see three paragraphs written on it in her familiar handwriting:

Ginseng is a great tonic, or it can be used to save the emergency, and you can cut a small section at a time. You can ask the doctor here for the specific dosage and use, they should be experienced.

I thought I should find you some books, but I couldn't find the right one. In those books, there are so many other nonsense things that you may not understand, cultural differences. This "100,000 Whys" was originally intended for children, and many of the truths in it may not be understood by you, so you can just pass the time without going too deep. I'm going to send you a book every month. Let you open up a little insight or something. Just picking out books is embarrassing to me.

Something, I know. It's just that the timing isn't quite right. Do you think it's okay to wait until you're twenty-six? At that time, I was actually quite young. Thinking about it, I know what to send you for the next book.

The three paragraphs have no beginning or end, and they don't seem to say anything. However, after seeing it, Cai Fu already felt that it was Yunkai Yueming, except that he was still a little embarrassed.

She was twenty-six years old, and the ten years of the deer's servitude were over. When the time comes, there will be no more slaves up and down the deer, and she will no longer be his captive. When the time comes, he will marry her almost equally. When the time comes, she will marry him, and she will not have any other purpose, and it will be relatively pure. If she's still willing.

It's a shame that at the age of twenty-six, almost all women in this era are mothers of four or five children. I'm getting older. And it will have to wait a few years.

The timing is not quite right, that is naturally to explain that during Hu Yi'er's pregnancy, he couldn't stimulate Hu Yi'er too much, so he didn't say anything about her exile.

is so simple and single-handed, Cai Fu is naturally still angry in his heart. But does she think she's such a stingy person?

She thought about it, flipping through the books, but wondering what the next book he was going to give her. I was stunned for a while.

"Ahem." Stonebeak broke Caifu's reverie and said, "He's brave, or I'll have to go back to him for trouble." There are some things that you may not understand when you are in the game. Actually, he's quite supportive. Like this time, if he directly agrees with you and doesn't give you the slightest restriction, the captives will definitely take these things for granted. I'm afraid I won't be able to come to the current situation. ”

"Hmph." Cai Fu thought that he would only supply food until May, and that he would have to collect taxes in September, but he was still very dissatisfied. In these months, I have to farm and gather for a living, and maybe people will die.

Stone Beak saw through her thoughts and said, "Then you have to go back and calculate the food sent today." Although he only supplies you with food until May, the accounting is calculated on the basis of three meals a day. Moreover, children over the age of seven are counted as adults, and those under the age of seven are only halved. You save a little, plus hunter-gatherers, and you have no problem eating until September. If you put this grain in an ordinary tribe, that's a year's worth of food. ”

Cai Fu thought that the amount of grain just now was wrong, and suddenly understood. She had thought that this time the food was delivered for two months. Then this food is not enough. And the list was written for a month, and she thought there was something wrong.

Cai Rong's resentment towards Lin Ji finally subsided a lot, and he stuffed the book into his arms along his chest, picked up the jar packed on the table and got up to leave.

Seeing that it was so easy for Cai Rong to stuff the book from his chest, Shi Beak coughed in a low voice and said, "That, he said, don't be hungry and too thin......"

Before he could say a word, the stone beak was caught in the rain and twisted his ears. I just hate that I can't let the rain pull harder.

When he returned from the cleansing, Hong'an County outside the Hong'an camp was already lined up with countless houses. The blood-stained, red-haired captives saw the women they knew happily toiling in the snow, as if they never knew them.

A few hours later, Tiger Claw appeared in front of Jin Yao, who had returned with Broken Tooth, with two bailiffs, and said to him, "Jin Yao, General Broken Tooth has received an order from above to cancel all your military affairs. Let you go back to the Court of Elders for trial. ”

Jin Yao, who was full of exhaustion, knew that there would be such a day, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. However, he was a little puzzled: "Why should I hand it over to the House of Elders?" ”

"Because you used eleven slaves illegally." Bailiff Road.

Jin Yao was stunned. He never expected that the reason for cleaning him up would be this. So, this is a pretext?
