Although it is the season of March, Yunzhou Mansion still has a little coolness, and this kind of weather is indeed a little unpredictable.

Mei Xiaohan summoned Liu Sinian, Liu Sihao, Zhong Jiehao, Xiang Ming, Zhang Yun, Zhao Dezhou, Zhao Guang and others to prepare for a short meeting.

The purpose of the short meeting is to determine the next step and the specific division of labor for each person.

Zhao Dezhou and Zhao Guang planned to go back to their hometown village, Zhao Dezhou originally came out to rescue Zhao Guang, but now that his wish has been fulfilled, there is nothing to worry about.

And Mei Xiaohan has a new plan...

The more than 30 newly recruited family members can't just leave it alone. Although the daily rations of these thirty or so families are a big expense, it is nothing for Mei Xiaohan. People are recruited, and it is not a thing to be idle every day, let alone a solution.

The daily lottery is carried out without interruption, and new "members" join in every day.

These new recruits have encountered big problems in management because they have not been resettled for a while, and they are overcrowded for a while.

When a person is the poorest, he feels that what he lacks most is money, and when he is the most hungry, he feels that what he lacks the most is food. And when he has everything, he doesn't know what he wants. Mei Xiaohan encountered a lot of confusion at this moment, and he lost his way again.

Although it is known that in less than a year, the country will change hands, and a new dynasty will emerge in an unprecedented way.

But Mei Xiaohan was not so excited at the moment, because he didn't know how he would face this moment and how he should choose. is to be a minister, or is he willing to become the most ordinary member of the Great Song Dynasty.

A person's strength is as small as dust, let alone being swept into this rolling red dust.

In the face of history, even if there is full certainty, there are very few things that can be changed, and such opportunities are very small.

Just when Mei Xiaohan was a little depressed, a far-reaching thing was happening.

"Zhou Shizong's Northern Expedition to Khitan"

Later Zhou Shizong Chai Rong was the most wise monarch in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and he can be called a bright star shining in the dark ages.

He refreshed politics, reformed the army, developed production, and punished corruption.

In the Northern Expedition, he personally commanded the recovery of Sanzhou and Sanguan, which was the greatest victory in the Liao war in the five dynasties.

Later Zhou became the most promising dynasty to restore unity, and he was called "the first Ming monarch of the five dynasties" by later generations, and the reason why he was able to win such a reputation was because his personal ability, charisma, and so on were first-class.

Chai Rong was very strong in the Later Zhou Dynasty during his lifetime, and won a great victory against the Northern Han and Khitan coalition forces in the Battle of Gaoping, and since then he has an advantage in the opponents of the northern regime.

The last battle before his death was the Northern Expedition to Liao, which went extremely smoothly, and only 42 days in a row recovered three passes and three states, a total of seventeen counties, and the Khitan could be described as vulnerable. But Chai Rong fell ill and died soon after that, and the Northern Expedition came to an end. Since then, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun have no chance to recover.

The fate of the family and the country is always closely linked, and without the country there will be no comforting home.

The name of the gourd has a special meaning. Mei Xiaohan's fate has been closely linked with the gourd, the so-called success is also the gourd, and defeat is also the gourd.

Zhao Dezhou and Zhao Guang's decision has been decided, and Mei Xiaohan will no longer do more to retain, the so-called people have their own ambitions, and there is no need to force them.

After assigning each person's different jobs, the teenager who had been hovering outside the door of the "Hulu Pavilion" for several days reappeared.

He was alone, pacing back and forth. Again and again, he failed to wait for the opportunity, and this time he didn't get in line.

This young man named "Dog" was discovered by Mei Xiaohan, and when he saw Mei Xiaohan, he was stunned.

He opened his mouth to speak, but shook his head again and said, "Impossible... Impossible..."

Mei Xiaohan saw that the young man was reluctant to leave for a long time, so he asked, "Everyone is gone, why don't you leave?" ”

The young man looked at Mei Xiaohan and said, "You're but... Are you surnamed Li? ”

Mei Xiaohan shook her head and said: "You are interesting, you and I don't know each other, but as soon as we met, you asked me if my surname was Li!" ”

"Like... Resemble... It's so similar! ”

Zhao Yundao: "This is the owner of the gourd pavilion, Mei Xiaohan, Mei Gongzi, not the surname Liu you said!" ”

Zhao Yun said: "This person claims to be called Gouzi, and he has been wandering outside the gourd hall for several days!" ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "Get him some food!" After saying this, Mei Xiaohan turned around and left.

The dog walked up a few steps and wanted to reach out to Lamei Xiaohan, but stopped again and said, "Master... Don't know me anymore? ”

Mei Xiaohan smiled: "Why do you say that? Ask me if my surname is Liu Zaiqian, ask me if I know you later, I really don't understand what you are thinking! ”

"Let's go! Let's go! ”

"Stop messing around here!"

"Take it when you see it!"

The young man sighed, clenched his fists, and walked away with half a sack of grain. The emaciated body is bent by the grain, like an animal walking on a heavy load.

"It's really a big forest, and there's everything!"

"It's not easy for anyone in this famine year, in order to survive, those who can climb relatives will climb relatives, and those who can't climb will first have all kinds of excuses!"

The young man who bent over the road was difficult, and he walked forward with difficulty, but he grabbed the burlap bag containing food in his hand.

When the young man walked away, Mei Xiaohan looked at Liu Sinian, Liu Sihao, Zhong Jiehao, Xiang Ming, Zhang Yun, Zhao Dezhou, Zhao Guang and others around him: "Do you know this person?" What did he mean by those words? ”

"Maybe it's just a kid who cheats on food and drink!"

"It's normal for everyone to have it these days!"

Mei Xiaohan has always remembered what he said about the self-proclaimed dog, and he didn't know why the boy asked him if his surname was Liu, it was by no means that simple.

But the boy has already gone away, and it is not so easy to find him again in the vast sea of people.

Mei Xiaohan planned to wait for him when the next day was released by the lottery, because he continued to appear when the grain was released, which showed that this young man was very likely to appear again.

The brief meeting held by Mei Xiaohan determined the identity and status of Mei Xiaohan's big boss.

The newly recruited family members are uneven, and they are far from achieving the effect that Mei Xiaohan expected. It is unimaginable what kind of protection ability these people can have, once the gourd pavilion is attacked, it is unimaginable.

Mei Xiaohan decided to take a trip to the Yunzhou Mansion Prison to see those fierce death row prisoners who could fight one against ten.

These death row prisoners who are one enemy and ten are all from military backgrounds, and their ability is not doubtful, because they committed capital crimes and were beaten to prison.

Even death row inmates can buy their lives as long as the price is high enough.

In a famine year, life is not as cheap as food. Previously, he took the high price of 10,000 stone of grain to exchange for a Zhao Guang, and this matter had already spread in Yunzhou Mansion.
