Yang Lian ate breakfast and left in a hurry, disaster relief is a major event, there is no room for delay, I chatted with Mi Shiwei for a while last night, and I have a certain understanding of the situation in Haichu and Chu Prefectures, and the matter of distributing food relief is urgent.

The summer sun rises very early, and the people also get up early, and many people rush to the grain store. No matter how expensive the price of rice is, people always have to eat, don't they? No matter how big a person's ideals are, he must always save them before he can realize them.

However, when many people rushed to the grain store, they found that the grain store, which usually opened early, was actually closed, and some people were surrounding the door and were pounding on the door.

"Open the door, we're buying rice!"

"Don't shout, it's useless, the people in the grain store don't know if they're all dead. After shouting for a long time, no one came to open the door. ”

"Hehe, the people in the grain store are going to die, and they are also greedy and greedy to death."

Everyone was gossiping, and some people inevitably complained, Chuzhou suffered from a once-in-a-century flood, and the people were in great distress, and they needed the government to open a warehouse to release grain, but Chuzhou Thorn Shi not only did not do so, but took advantage of the fire to rob, raise grain prices, and earn money. Such a person, in the eyes of the people, is going to hell and will never be able to turn over.

However, the people also know the power of the government, and they only dare to slander, after all, the people don't fight with the officials, otherwise they don't know how to die.

Yang Lian was dressed in civilian clothes, mingling among the people, no one could see his identity, Lin Renzhao and several other soldiers followed behind, and the people did not have the slightest defense against Yang Lian and others, after all, these people were very angry, and they were not from the government.

Yang Lian heard the people talking, and asked Lin Renzhao and others to scatter in the city to inquire about the news, and when everyone returned, Yang Lian groaned slightly, and then knew Liu Yanzhen's plan. After turning around the main road in the city, Yang Lian led everyone towards the Thorn Mansion.

When they arrived at the gate of the Assassin's Mansion, a soldier came in a hurry and almost bumped into Yang Lian. Yang Lian reacted extremely quickly to dodge, and at the same time took a step back, very vigilant.

The soldier bowed slightly, quickly got up, and ran into the Assassin's Mansion.

Yang Lian shouted, but the soldier's footsteps did not stop at all, and continued to run towards the mansion.

"Let's go, go in and have a look." Seeing that the soldier was in a hurry, Yang Lian felt that something was wrong, so he said, and at the same time quickened his pace.

At this time, Liu Yanzhen had just gotten up and was eating breakfast, an egg, a bowl of porridge, and a small plate of thinly sliced mutton. Liu Yanzhen had just eaten two bites, and the soldier hurriedly came in and said, "Liu Tingshi, something is wrong." ”

Liu Yanzhen frowned, put down her chopsticks quite dissatisfied, and said, "Something happened, I was in a panic." ”

"Tell Liu Tingshi that the people outside the city have gathered together and want to attack Chuzhou City!" The soldier said.

"This group of Diao people!" Liu Yanzhen threw away the chopsticks, stood up with a cold snort, took two steps, and shouted: "Pass the order, the whole city is on guard, if someone plots against him, he can be killed!" ”

The soldier answered, and was about to walk out, when Yang Lian hurriedly walked over, waved his hand, and said, "Liu Tingshi, don't do it." ”

Liu Yanzhen saw that it was Yang Lian, she was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yang Jiedu, most of the people outside the city are spies of the Han people, and they must not be tolerated. ”

"Liu Tingshi, when I came yesterday, I saw tens of thousands of people outside the city, including many old and weak women and children, and they can't be killed like this." Yang Lian shook his head.

Liu Yanzhen arched his hand and said, "What should I do with Yang Jiedu's meaning?" ”

"Let's go see the situation first." Yang Lian said.

"That's fine." Liu Yanzhen said, didn't eat breakfast anymore, and hurriedly walked out of the Thorn History Mansion with Yang Lian, and there were already soldiers with war horses, and everyone rushed towards the west city gate. Along the way, many people took refuge one after another, fearing that they would be killed by this group of menacing officers and soldiers.

After half a pillar of incense, everyone arrived at the West City Gate, got off their horses, and hurriedly ran up the city wall, Yang Lian saw everything in front of him clearly, and suddenly gasped. Outside the west city gate, I don't know how many people, in short, at a glance, outside the city gate is full of people, standing in the front, is a group of women and children, in addition to a small number of strong men.

The women and children wept on the ground, prostrating themselves and begging the soldiers on the walls to open the gates and let them in. A few strong men held forks and hoes in their hands, and a few of them held long knives and swords, staring at the city with big eyes.

The people first wept, and then, led by a strong man, shouted in unison: "Open the door, open the door!" ”

Most of the victims did not have enough to eat, but they couldn't stand the crowd, and their shouting voices soared into the sky, which was a bit imposing.

Liu Zheng saw Liu Yanzhen coming, ran up a few steps, and said, "Uncle, these disaster victims seem to want to attack the city. ”

"They dare!" Liu Yanzhen snorted coldly, walked to the edge of the city wall, held the female wall with her hand, and looked coldly outside the city.

Yang Lian also walked over quickly, I don't know how many people outside the city, even if they are all unarmed people, it is extremely terrifying for so many people to attack the city.

"Liu Tingshi, this seems to be instigated by someone." Yang Lian said, he saw at a glance that in the crowd, there were a few people who were particularly conspicuous, they were cleanly dressed, carrying sledgehammers, long knives, spears and other weapons in their hands, obviously not ordinary people.

Liu Yanzhen nodded, he also saw it, called Liu Zheng, and said: "Pass the order, take strict precautions, and never let them attack the city." ”

Liu Zheng received the order and hurried away to convey the military order.

Yang Lian said: "In my opinion, the chances of these people attacking the city are not very high, although those who want to incite it, I am afraid it is more of a temptation." ”

"It should be so, but it is exactly so, and it is necessary to take strict precautions and never let these people enter the city." Liu Yanzhen said.

"You can't kill people easily, otherwise things will get out of hand." Yang Lian said.

Liu Yanzhen was deeply convinced by this, and ordered to go down again, and never shoot without authorization until he received the order.

Some of the people also saw Liu Yanzhen, Yang Lian and others, a strong man walked out, went to the city, and shouted a few words to the people, and suddenly the people around stopped crying, and the area around the west gate became much quieter.

"This man seems to be the head of the victims." Yang Lian said in a low voice.

Sure enough, the man under the city approached the city gate, only a dozen steps away from the city gate, only to see him arch his hand towards the city wall, and said: "Lord Thorn Shi, we are all disaster victims, because of the flood, this is why we fled to this place, and I hope that Lord Thorn Shi will be merciful and save me, and I should be grateful." ”

Liu Yanzhen asked, "Who are you?" ”

"The villain is called Dai Li." The man replied.

"Dai Li, the flood is serious and the people are suffering, this will be very clear, but what do you want to bring so many people around the city?" Liu Yanzhen asked.

"Lord Thorn Shi, I am waiting for the refugees to come, and I hope that Lord Thorn Shi will distribute some grain and grass to me to spend my days, I should be grateful." Dai Li said, knelt down, and kowtowed to Liu Yanzhen.

Yang Lian shook his head and said, "Liu Tingshi, what are you going to do?" ”

Liu Yanzhen smiled and said: "Yang Jiedu was ordered by His Majesty to come to Chuzhou for disaster relief, and he was also the envoy of Shuntian Jiedu appointed by His Majesty, responsible for the affairs of Hai and Chu, and he would have obeyed Yang Jiedu's arrangement." ”

"This old fox actually threw this pot at me." Yang Lian frowned, thinking in his heart. On the surface, he was silent and said with a smile: "Liu Tingshi is polite." ”

"How can it be polite? Ben will always be very respectful to Yang Jiedu. Liu Yanzhen said seriously.

Yang Lian smiled and said, "Since Liu Tingshi is so loving, then the general will take the lead and deal with this matter." ”

Liu Yanzhen was slightly stunned, this Yang Lian actually climbed up the pole, which surprised him. However, he had already reaped enough benefits, and he didn't want to participate in the relief of the victims, so he smiled slightly and said, "Yang Jiedu is just like this." ”

"Since Ben will be solely responsible for handling this matter, then Liu Tingshi should listen to my orders?" Yang Lian asked quietly.

Liu Yanzhen felt that Yang Lian had been decided, so she nodded and said, "Yang Jiedu is a Qincha, and the decision he made will naturally be followed." ”

"Okay, that's good!" Yang Lian said, looked at Dai Li under the city, and said, "Dai Li, among the victims, can you speak?" Do they all listen to you? ”

Dai Li was slightly stunned, glanced back at everyone, and then said, "Lord Qiyu, I can call the shots." ”

"Dai Li, this will be the Qincha who rushed to Chuzhou for disaster relief on the order of the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty. Is there anything you can talk to me about. Yang Lian said.

Dai Li was overjoyed when he heard this, kowtowed to Yang Lian a few times, and said, "My lord, please save my life." ”

"Rise up first, and come up to the wall, and I have something to say to you." Yang Lian said.

"This ......" Dai Li hesitated a little, and when he heard Yang Lian's words, he immediately shouted loudly: "Brother Dai, you can't be fooled, this dog official wants to coax you up and kill you." ”

"That's right, Brother Dai, you can't go up."

Dai Li stood up and said, "My lord, I'll discuss it with my brothers." As he spoke, he walked over briskly and said something to a few people with hammers and long knives in their hands.

Liu Yanzhen said: "Yang Jiedu, you really want to negotiate with the people. ”

"What can you do without negotiating, can't you kill them all?" Yang Lian shook his head, in fact, he still had a little selfishness in his heart, that is, he wanted to take these people for his own use. The population of Haichu and Haichu is not right, and there are a lot of fields, Yang Lian has the heart to strengthen his strength, and naturally hopes that the more people, the better.

Liu Yanzhen said: "Yang Jiedu be careful, among these people, there must be spies of Han people." ”

"Thank you Liu Tingshi for reminding me." Yang Lian said.

While the two were talking, Dai Li ran over and said, "My lord, I am willing to accept your request." ”

Yang Lian asked someone to put the bamboo basket down and hung Dai Li up.

"You come with this!" Yang Lian said and walked towards the city tower.

Liu Yanzhen, Lin Renzhao, Dai Li and others also walked into the city tower, leaving Liu Zheng with people to monitor the people outside the city.

"Dai Li, how many of you are there?" Yang Lian asked.

"Lord Qiyu, I don't know how many people there are, but there are more than 1,000 people in the village to which the villain belongs. As for the others, they are from other villages, the number of people is uncertain, and the specifics need to be counted before they can be determined. Dai Li said.

Yang Lian saw that he was still speaking in an orderly manner, so he asked, "Dai Li, have you ever read?" ”

"The ancestor of the villain is also a scholarly family, and there was a private school at home, and he studied for a few days and knew a few words." Dai Li replied.

Yang Lian nodded and said, "That's easy to do." Dai Li, Ben was ordered to come to disaster relief, and he didn't want to starve anyone to death. However, there are so many of you outside the city, and you can't do it without a single discipline. ”

"What do you think of this? You are all from various villages, you might as well use the stockade as a unit, stationed separately, so that it is easier to manage, and you can find a way to count the number of people for me. Yang Lian said.

"What the adults said is that the villains are stationed according to the village, and it is not difficult to count the number of people." Dai Li said.

Yang Lian knocked on the table and said, "This is the best, you count the number of people for me as soon as possible, and the rice will be distributed according to the head." The rations for children, women and children are two taels a day, and four taels for strong men. Of course, this ration is not much, but in the hurry of the future, there is not much food to bring, so for the time being, it can only be implemented according to this plan. ”

Dai Li was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "Your Excellency is merciful, I thank you on behalf of the people." ”

"You don't have to be polite, the problem of food shortage, Ben will also find a way to solve it. Every day food is distributed according to the population, and by the time this time has passed, there will be more ideas to settle you. "Yang Lian spent rice and grain for disaster relief, so naturally he had to try his best to keep these people, otherwise all his efforts would be in vain.

Dai Li glanced at Yang Lian strangely, and said in surprise: "My lord, what do you mean?" ”

"Since ancient times, land has been the foundation of the people, and I will find a way to give you land, settle you, and take root in Chuzhou." Yang Lian said, his eyes flashed, he looked at Dai Li fixedly, and said, "What, don't you want to?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Dai Li was a little flustered by Yang Lian's gaze, and hurriedly replied.

"It's for the best." Yang Lian said, casually glancing at Liu Yanzhen.

Liu Yanzhen's brows moved slightly, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything wrong.

Dai Li smiled and said cautiously: "My lord, when will the distribution of rice and grain be possible?" ”

"It naturally takes a little time to prepare food, and it should be no problem to distribute food at 10 o'clock in the afternoon." Yang Lian calculated the time and said.

"Thank you, sir." Dai Li hurriedly knelt on the ground, looking grateful.

"Dai Li, you go back and tell the people that when you wait outside the city at noon, you will naturally send someone to distribute food." Yang Lian commanded.

Dai Li was taken aback and said, "My lord, is it distributing rice and grain outside the city?" ”

"Outside the city." Yang Lian replied in the affirmative, and at the same time glanced at Dai Li with a very playful look.

Dai Li chuckled in his heart, couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Yes, the adult's order, the villain must have arrived." ”

"Very well, you tell the people separately that each village will select twenty strong men to come out, and there will be other arrangements." Yang Lian commanded again.

Dai Li was very puzzled and asked, "My lord, what is this?" ”

"Ben will naturally have an arrangement, you just need to do it, you don't need to ask so much!" Yang Lian said, his face a little displeased.

Dai Li hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, the villain will arrange it!" (To be continued.) )
