Chapter 231: The Same Old Again?

After kneeling and thanking for such things, Zhu Da, Zhou Qingyun and Chang Kai also began to eat, according to the idea of the young poor and the young refugee, these people are first-class, and they must go to the house to set up a banquet to eat comfortably, in fact, Chang Kai has already asked Chang Shen to prepare some wine and meat in the villager's house, and there is also a stove to keep warm.

But Zhu Da refused this kindness, but took a wooden bowl to fill the soup and took the dry food, and ate it like everyone else, Zhou Qingyun also did it silently, Chang Kai smiled bitterly and shook his head to follow, of course, this kind of food is not good, but it can't be swallowed, it's okay, but a master like Zhu Da should eat better.

Looking at his style, the refugees looked at each other and talked in a whisper, and the nervousness was like Fang Cai went a lot, but there were very few young people who sneered quietly.

After a short rest after eating, they began to train in the queue again, and after practicing for an hour, they took the people to the outside of the grange to level the land, and there were ready-made tools in the grange, and they brought some from the city, and the refugees did have one for two.

More than 100 people walked along the flat road around the grange to make a wide road, which made the busy farmers very confused, and said that it would be better to build the road leading to the city. What's going on around Zhuangzi, isn't it a waste of labor?

However, after training and labor, the refugees were empty, the bowl of soup and fist-sized dumplings could not support such a lot of exercise, Zhu Da gave them a very clear answer, hungry at night, tomorrow morning there will be a multigrain porridge, there has been a rubbing during the day, the refugees have not dared to have any resistance and refutation, of course, they do not have much hope, for many refugees, a day to have such a meal full of oil and salt soup and dry food, is already a very good treatment, not to mention the elderly, women and children have dinner, Small bowl of soup and a piece of dry food.

Zhu Da was very strict with this special and strict requirement that he could not take the food back to eat, but would return to his residence after eating, in case some men would take advantage of the family or forcibly take the rations of the old and weak women and children, and now he would not be able to manage it for a while.

“...... They have been hungry for so long, if they let go of eating, they will easily die, so slowly raise the amount first......" Zhu Da and Chang Kai said.

Hungry people overeat and die suddenly, Chang Kai also understands this truth, but after listening to it, he can only shake his head and smile bitterly: "These people are really spending money like running water when they let go of eating, and they will not be able to see the money back until next winter, Brother Zhu, Master Zhu, you are really distressed!" ”

"There's a lot of silver, enough to spend!" Zhu Da replied with a smile, he had a currency in his hand converted into more than 10,000 taels of silver, and the amount of materials that could be purchased with this money was really sky-high, and what was more advantageous was that he could also obtain very cheap materials through various conveniences, such as the grain in the county treasury, which magnified Zhu Da's wealth even more, although he consumed a lot, he was really confident.

Zhu Da's confident answer was also something Chang Kai didn't expect, when it came to such a point, there would be no sense of proportion in persuasion, Chang Kai changed the topic knowingly, but he didn't feel that Zhu Da was unrestrained in his heart, but vaguely thought that this young master was afraid that he could really do it or that there was another way.

"Tonight I will lead ten family members to stay, and ten more messengers will be left, and the rest will go back to the city." When Chang Kai suggested that Zhu Da go back to the city, Zhu Da replied, which meant that Zhou Qingyun and most of the messengers would go back to the city and live in the grange himself.

"Brother Zhu, there are no neat houses here, they are cold and broken, and there is no city wall to cover them, why suffer from this crime." Listening to Zhu Da's decision, Chang Kai persuaded a few words with a bitter face.

"That's when I should eat and live with them." Zhu Da replied simply, Chang Kai wanted to persuade again, but he figured out something from these few words, and smiled and said that he stayed with him, but Zhu Da did not agree, because Chang Kai still had to raise supplies in the city and send them over.

Zhou Qingyun took his family to leave first, Chang Kai left ten messengers, and Meng Tian and Fu Yu were arranged to go back to the city together, and they didn't even have the identity of the white deputy officer, and they were severely whipped five times, so they had to go back and talk to their families......

Because of the lack of shelter from the city walls, it was darker outside the city than inside the city, and after the training and work stopped, the refugees did not rest, they had to clean up, although they had only lived in the Grange for three days, but they brought it from the outside, stained the Grange, and the Grange's own garbage, these messes were really a lot.

After sweeping, a large amount of garbage is piled up together, set fire to burn, in such weather, most of the garbage is not much moisture, it is easy to burn, on the side of the grange soon there is a fire, provoked the city wall to run over to ask, because the city on duty Zhuang Ban sees, I don't know what is wrong, out of the city is not daring, but always be prepared.

This raging fire has to burn for a while to extinguish, for all kinds of people in the grange, it is a rare novelty, many of the farmers brought their children to see the excitement, although they got along for less than a day, but the prestige of this young master is only in the people who do not obey the rules, everyone is not afraid, not to mention the people of the village, even the refugees have gathered in a big circle, the heat of the fire is how much warmer.

The refugees are hungry, but the atmosphere is very good, the old and weak, women and children are full, so that those with families have no worries, parents are more comfortable, wives and children are happy, this is better than their own food and drink, and those who have no family, seeing that they have family like this, are not worried about themselves.

Many of the refugees in the shelter have smiles on their faces, and they have rarely smiled since the sudden disaster, but now they are hungry, but they feel that there is hope for the future, and no matter what happens, it will not be worse than before.

"Even the people from Zhuangzi have come to me!" I could hear Zhu Da's loud shouting.

Although the refugees who heard this were reluctant to let the heat from the fire, they still did it one after another, and the farmers were busy keeping up, although Zhu Da did not whip them, but now the grange is Zhu Da's, this is their own proprietor and master, of course, it is not to be neglected.

Despite everyone's initiative, it still took a lot of time to gather, and it was only the men and messengers who threatened with whips and clubs to speed up the progress.

Zhu Da was the same as in the daytime, he made a table to stand on it, the chaos and noise in his vision made him very helpless, with the light of the fire and the sunset, Zhu Da noticed the "Sun Wu" in the crowd, but now he can't take care of so much, if he wants to be comprehensive, he must have enough manpower to handle it, but now only Zhou Qingyun can understand Zhu Da's meaning and resolutely implement it, but Zhou Qingyun has too many things to do, and he can't pull away at all.

As for the family members, at present, it can only be said that they are available, or they are available under the supervision and command of Zhu Da, compared to the refugees in front of them, they are only a little stronger, and they are even inferior to these shrewd young people, Zhu Da knows that he is in a hurry, he knows that he has to come step by step, looking at the faces in front of him, he is a lot more relaxed, after all, he has a good start.

"I said that everyone, even women and children, have to come, don't you understand?" Juda glanced down, and the crowd was in an uproar, and some people ran quickly to the shantytown and brought their families over.

Although he didn't pay attention to anything when he fled and wandered, it was always inconvenient for so many single men, women and girls to come over, Zhu Da didn't tell anything, but Chang Shen, who stayed behind, arranged for people to clean up a place, which made Zhu Daduo look at Chang Shen a few times, and the brother of Chang Deputy Team Leader was not awake, but he was very solid and thoughtful.

"The handle that can spin and weave is raised." Zhu Da said loudly.

The people below were a little ignorant, and said that these were all women's men, and asked what this was about, but the whip was still there during the day, except for the girl who was too young, all the women raised their arms, spinning and weaving is a skill that women must master, and dressing at home is one thing, and it can also supplement the family.

Zhu Da nodded, and said again: "Those who raised their hands stayed, and so did their men." ”

If it weren't for the second half of the sentence, I'm afraid the venue would immediately riot, and the heart said that this old man really had bad intentions, otherwise it would be almost dark and shout that the woman would stay and do something, Zhu Da turned his head to look at the Zhuang Ke who had not dispersed, and said in a loud voice: "The family who knows how to spin and weave also come over, and there are benefits for you!" ”

The attitude towards the refugees and the treatment of the banker is definitely different, the former is a slave, the latter is a servant nature of employment, how much room to give, but hearing the word "benefit", the banker immediately began to find their mother-in-law, this old man is young, but the words count, although it has only been a day of contact, the banker has such a judgment.

Over there, Chang Kai had already shouted at the poor people to stay away, they were a group of young and vigorous young men, and there would be right and wrong if they looked at it a few more times.

"How can you be a man and a woman!" "Don't take advantage of it, go away!" "Don't think I'm going to beat you if you're dumb!" At this time, there was a sudden chaos in the field, and several families surrounded a thin man and scolded him.

This person Zhu Da had some impressions, that is, he was dressed in tatters, particularly dirty, and even dark and could not see his facial features clearly, at that time, Zhu Da also thought of asking them to pay attention to personal cleanliness, but he never thought that he would appear at this time.

Men farm, work and do business, women spin and weave and take care of housework, it is a daily practice in Datong, Shanxi, a man can spin and weave is indeed strange, plus a mute is even more curious.

"I ...... I'm a woman......" heard a crisp voice sound.

The scene was instantly quiet, what, this swarthy boy is not dumb, no, this is a woman's voice!
