Outside Jinyang City, a dense wooden shed has been temporarily erected, and it is bustling with displaced people.

Among them, there are young and strong, old and young women and children, all of them are ragged, unkempt, with yellow and thin faces, and their faces are full of despair, sorrow, and grief.

The displaced people took their homes as units, holding their children and supporting the elderly, and sat in front of the wooden shed.

The crowd gathered around a pile of fires to resist the howling north wind in the first month.

However, fortunately, it is winter at the moment, and it is not easy to break out of the plague, so there is a lot of trouble for the whole state.

But even so, Zhang Teng still sent a large number of doctors to be responsible for epidemic prevention and treatment.

As soon as they find a homeless person with a sick face, they will take the initiative to stop and diagnose it.

If a plague is found to be a plague, immediately call a retinue behind you to carry the patient away and isolate him in another camp.

Immediately after that, someone came up and sprinkled lime on the area where the sick person had been staying and disinfected it.

In addition, there are still a large number of new Heavenly Master Taoists shuttling among the displaced people, responsible for relieving the mental pressure of the displaced people and taking the opportunity to develop believers.

Just when everyone was busy, Zhang Teng, the assassin of the assassin, came to inspect the resettlement of the displaced people with a group of subordinate officials.

Seeing the tragic situation of the homeless people, Zhang Teng couldn't help but sigh: "Wei Yan is fighting for power, it was the Hu people who killed each other, why should I let the people of the Han family suffer?!" ”

"Who's to say it isn't? It is reported that it is Murong Trai's lack of attention to the people's livelihood that has led to the current hunger and epidemic in Hebei, and the people cannibalism. ”

"And the displaced people in Hebei, because of their longing for the benevolence of Hexi, have moved westward for thousands of miles."

"At present, there are at least tens of thousands, if not more than 100,000 displaced people, stranded in various parts of Hebei.

"Due to the long distance, coupled with the looting and interception of the powerful family and the commander of Hu Luqu on the way, it is estimated that more than half of the casualties will be killed or injured when they arrive in Bingzhou."

Listening to the words of his subordinates, Zhang Teng was furious in his heart, so he turned his head and ordered: "Prepare paper and pen immediately, and this official will write a letter to Dadu Protector." ”

"Please put pressure on Murong Chui, it is best to let all parts of Houyan release the pass and let the displaced people move west."

"That'...... Will Murong Chui agree? ”

"I don't know, but with the character of most of them who love the people like children, if Hou Yan dares not to agree, there will never be good fruits to eat."

……

When the displaced people were in danger day and night, most of the capital guards Shuo was going south to inspect the front line of Longyou.

This time he went south to inspect, Wei Shuo drove lightly, and only took the three people of Fuqu Mengxun, Guo Yi, and Liu Mu with him.

In late January, Guo Wen, the assassin of Qinzhou, and Jiang Fei, the governor of Qinzhou, personally welcomed the capital and protected it twenty miles outside the city of Shangqi.

At this time, it has been one year and five months since Hexi recovered Longyou, and the wounds left by the war have not yet been completely healed.

The war almost completely destroyed the livelihood of the people in Longyou, leaving a large number of displaced people homeless.

Fortunately, Wang Maide confiscated a large amount of money and food from the family Hulu's house, so that Hexi would not be helpless in the face of the disaster.

Later, in order to restore Qinzhou's economy as soon as possible, Wei Shuo transferred Guo Wen, the former Shazhou assassin, to Qinzhou.

Guo Wen has also lived up to his trust, and in just over a year, he has changed the appearance of Qinzhou.

"Natural disasters, troubles, and wars have almost turned Longyou into a blank field."

"In order to escape the war, a large number of people fled to other places, resulting in barren fields and withering people's strength."

"According to the minister's estimate, it will take at least three to five years of recuperation before Longyou is expected to recover!"

Hearing this, Wei Shuo was also very helpless, but he did not criticize Guo Wen and others for this.

After all, Longyou has always been dilapidated, and now Guo Wen dares to pack a ticket and say that it will take three or five years to complete the construction, which has made him feel very satisfied.

After a pause, he encouraged in a firm tone: "Qing let go and do it, everything will be protected by you as a backing." ”

Indeed, as everyone said, since Yongjia, the war in Longyou has continued, and it did not stop until the recovery of Hexi.

Although Hexi won the final victory, what he got was a barren land and a place full of displaced people.

Next, Guo Wen briefed Wei Shuo on the situation of the Assassin's Mansion in power for more than a year.

"After the war ended, in order to prevent the people from starving and cold, let them have food, fields and houses to live in."

"In accordance with the measures taken during the previous reconstruction of Shazhou, with the help of the government soldiers, a large number of temporary houses were built for the people to live in."

"At the same time, we immediately arranged for government personnel to implement the system of equalizing land, distributed land to the people, and encouraged them to resume production."

"In addition, the ministers borrowed money from the people through the money farms to help them build houses, buy livestock, and buy seeds."

"At the same time, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Metropolitan Protectorate's intention to build a cement straight road from Shangtai to the fault section, the minister has also launched a series of infrastructure projects."

"Basically, farmland and water conservancy, roads and bridges are the mainstay, and a large number of people have received rich wages through work."

"In this way, the whole state gritted their teeth and survived last year, and finally stabilized this year."

Guo Wen is a veteran civil official in Hexi, who has risen step by step from the county order to the high position of the assassin history, and has long been familiar with the set of government affairs in Hexi, and knows how to use existing resources very well.

While some officials were still suspicious of the bank, he knew how to use it for the benefit of the people under his rule.

"At the end of last year, the minister has proposed a new plan to the state legislature, and will introduce policies to attract major businessmen to invest in Qinzhou."

"As long as they are willing to build workshops in Qinzhou, Qinzhou can be exempted from certain taxes."

"Well, yes, that's a good thing!"

Wei Shuo's eyes were full of smiles, and he was very satisfied with Guo Wen's performance.

After listening to Guo Wen's report on government affairs, Wei Shuo asked Jiang Fei about relevant military affairs.

Compared with the complicated government affairs, military affairs are much simpler.

In general, it is just the reorganization of government soldiers and the like, and the only thing that attracted Wei Shuo's attention was Guanzhong, which was separated from Longyou by a mountain.

"Except for the fact that during the Battle of Pingyang, Yao Shuode tried to sneak attack Longguan, for more than a year, the Qin soldiers in Longdong were very honest and rarely took the initiative to provoke."

"Longguan is the western gateway of Guanzhong, and its strategic location is very important, and it is the key to taking Guanzhong in the east in the future!"

"You must be cautious, guard the city, and don't be taken away by the Qin soldiers."

"In addition, Yao Shuode is quite capable, so you must not be careless."

"The last general and others should remember the apologetic teachings of the capital."

Next, Wei Shuo, accompanied by Jiang Fei, inspected the entire Longshan defense line, and also climbed Longguan to look at Guanzhong.

Longshan Mountain Range. It lies between the Guanzhong Plain and Longyou, northwest to Liupan Mountain, and southeast to Qinling.

Stretching for more than 1,000 miles, across more than 10 counties, the mountain is upright, magnificent, in ancient times, there is a saying that "its saka is nine times, I don't know how high it is".

Since ancient times, Longshan is the traffic artery that runs through the east and west, and there are thousands of river valleys in the east to communicate with Guanzhong.

After crossing the Longshan Mountain, it can reach Shu in the south, go to Longyou in the west, and go to the Hetao in the north, the military status is very prominent, and it has always been a place for soldiers to fight.

Longshan is tall and majestic, and it is a natural barrier to the central and western regions.

And Longguan is located on the top of Longshan Mountain, according to historical records, Longguan is also known as the Great Earthquake Pass, was built in the Han Dynasty.

The slope of Guanxi is steep, surrounded by mountains and shields, only a canyon (Longguan Road) between the peaks can reach the pass, and there is a tendency of "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people cannot reach".

……

On this day, as soon as Wei Shuo returned to Shangtai after inspecting Longguan, he received a letter from Zhang Teng, the assassin of Bingzhou, asking for help.

Zhang Teng gave a detailed description of the tragic situation of the displaced people in the letter, which made Wei Shuo angry after reading it.

With a bang, Wei Shuo smashed his fists on the desk, gritted his teeth and said: "Daohe, you write a letter to Murong Chui for Shuo, and tell him plainly, let Houyan restrain the powerful families in various places, and release the pass, and no longer stop the westward migration of the displaced people, otherwise Lao Tzu and the Northern Wei Dynasty will destroy him and Houyan first." ”

Seeing that most of the people were really angry, Liu Muzhi hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be angry, the minister thinks that the current robbers of the displaced people may not be instructed by Murong Chui, and it is very likely that the local tyrants and Hulu nobles are doing it." ”

"Powerful and strong? Hulu aristocracy? Why did they stop the migration of displaced people to the west? Wei Shuo was puzzled.

"The lord doesn't know anything, both of them need a large population because of the crazy breeding of slaves and tribes."

"These powerful families, Hu Luquan Marshal, have built dock forts in the local area, and each has strong weapons."

"They often build strength by robbing passers-by and abducting displaced people."

"Ruochen's expectation is good, the interception of the westward migration of the displaced people this time must be the powerful local tyrants in the Hebei area."

After being reminded by Liu Muyi, Wei Shuo suddenly remembered that even the famous ancestors in history had robbed and traveled to and from business, not to mention other people?

"I don't care about that! How can you say that those powerful families and Hulu nobles are not also under the control of Murong Chui? ”

"My lord, you can't help solve the problem like this!"

"No matter what, Murong Trai is also a hegemon, how can he bow his head because of the lord's words and intimidation? So how will he control Yan Kingdom in the future? ”

"That'...... So what to do? You can't just watch the displaced people suffer, can you? ”

"Not to mention that the current state is in urgent need of population, if the Hebei displaced people are successfully introduced into the state, it will greatly promote the rise of the state."

"Don't worry, the lord has a plan to force Houyan to give in."
