Chapter 309: The Establishment of a State
"Women, children stand in front, men line up in the back, whoever dares to cut in line indiscriminately, handcuff a certain person and let him watch others eat. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
If chaos is a virus, order is also a virus, but the consequences of these two viruses are different, one is a harmful bacterium, and the other is a beneficial bacterium.
After some communication, or under Duan Jian's strength, those victims could only honestly give in, and under the supervision of the surrounding officials and catchers, they formed a long queue, waiting for food to be distributed to them, and an imminent riot dissipated.
"Congratulations to Duan Langjun for saving the day again, to be honest, when I saw these victims about to collide with you just now, the slave family was so frightened that they almost fainted, but fortunately, God has eyes, so that Duan Langjun is safe and sound." At this time, Su Wan'er changed her irrational appearance just now, and congratulated Duan Jian with a full demeanor again.
"Thank you Su Niangzi's relationship, they were all mistakes at a certain time, which frightened Su Niangzi, and when she had time to make amends to Su Niangzi another day, she .......... to make amends."
"Uh-huh........."
Hearing Su Wan'er's congratulations, Duan Jian also replied with some joy, but when he was speaking, his eyes suddenly saw a familiar figure flash among the victims, and for a while, the expression on his face became quite strange.
"Why, but there's nothing suspicious." Seeing Duan Jian's strange expression, Su Wan'er once again showed a look of concern on her face.
"Ah..... No, I just saw a rather familiar figure, maybe a certain dazzled may or not, okay, since Mrs. Su is frightened, don't stay here, let's go back to the city! ”
Although he was puzzled in his heart, the figure flashed by, even if Duan Jian wanted to ask for evidence, there was no clue, so he had no choice but to give up.
..................
Just when Duan Jian was puzzled, the two thin figures among the victims were constantly rejoicing, and they heard one of them say, "Palace..... Lady, it was too dangerous just now, and I was almost discovered by Duan Langjun, but, why should we hide, aren't we going south this time to see Duan Langjun, such a great opportunity, you will give up, I am afraid that if you want to find a chance to meet Duan Langjun in the future, it will be very difficult. ”
Hearing this person's complaint, the other snorted coldly, "Hmph..... What do you know, you don't understand anything, it's too much of a bastard, in vain I traveled thousands of miles, and it took a lot of hard work to come to Hangzhou, I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect you to be good, and actually hooked up with that fox, hum, you wait, I will not let you have a good time, when the time comes, let you know how powerful this princess is. ”
These two people are none other than Li Lingyue, the princess of Taiping who secretly escaped from the palace and her maid Moshu, and the figure that Duan Jian saw just now is Li Lingyue's, after all, during the time when Duan Jian was injured, he had the most contact with Li Lingyue, so even after such a long time, he kept Li Lingyue's figure in mind, but unfortunately, he didn't know how much trouble a casual move at this time would bring to the future, and how many unequal treaties he made for Her Royal Highness the princess in the future.
..................................
The land is divided into north and south, and people are divided into old and young, and the officials and officials in these places are also diverse, capable and powerful, such as Duan Jian, even if he accepts more than 20,000 disaster victims at one time, he is also at ease, while other incompetent or too selfish officials and officials are not doing this, Jianzhou is such a place.
Jianzhou is the name of the ancient state of Fujian, and it is also the origin of the word "Jian" in the name of "Fujian". The administrative jurisdiction of Jianzhou is roughly ten counties and cities in northern Fujian today (a total of 26,300 square kilometers), as well as central Fujian: Taining County, Jianning County, Jiangle County (a total of 5,490.98 square kilometers), and eastern Fujian: Pingnan County, Gutian County (a total of 3,862 square kilometers), Jianzhou is now Jian'ou City, Fujian Province, which was established shortly after the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
Don't look at the Jianzhou place is very big, but the Jianzhou in the Tang Dynasty is not like today's coastal land, but the land of wealth that everyone yearns for, at that time, even if it was the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou, which was quite rich in the south of the Yangtze River, it was also a remote and wild land in the eyes of the people in the north, and the land of Jianzhou was even more unimaginable.
Not only is the land remote and barren, but most importantly, it is sparsely populated, of course, the so-called sparse population is aimed at the local Han people.
Because of the continuous mountain ranges in Fujian, the most famous are Wuyi Mountain and Eagle Peak Mountain, and Jianzhou is sandwiched between these mountain ranges, which also leads to the fact that many isolated or semi-secluded tribal people live in these mountains. These tribes are not large, the largest is the tribe of thousands of people, but these tribes are continuous in those mountains, and even there will be a tribe on the top of a mountain, they fight with each other and cooperate with each other, often depending on the Han people who live under the mountain or those who have dealings with the Han people, quite enlightened tribes as the object of plunder, from time to time, or whenever there is a shortage of food, they will gather up and go down the mountain to rob, which has caused the barbarism and backwardness of the land of Jianzhou in the eyes of outsiders.
It is precisely because these places in Jianzhou are too remote or backward that those children of the family who are used to enjoying it will never come here, which is why Duan Jianyi said that he wanted to come to Hangzhou to serve, and those family members would be surprised, in their eyes, a place like Hangzhou is also a wild place, not a place where a gentleman should stay.
Since the children of the family are reluctant to come, then there are only some officials who can be officials here without a backstage, and they are not very talented, but unfortunately, in such a remote place, these officials who have no backstage and no ability often after taking office, are either driven away by the local locals, or like the mud fetus Bodhisattva in the temple, become a puppet existence, not to mention governing the people, even their own is difficult to preserve, thinking about it is also quite speechless.
It stands to reason that even if the imperial court wants to let those disaster victims go south to eat, they must find some better places, such as places like Suzhou and Hangzhou, at least they can ensure the basic food of those disaster victims, such as Jianzhou, should not arrange for disaster victims to come, in the original plan, Di Renjie and others did not put places like Jianzhou in the list of food, but unfortunately, under the vertical and horizontal of greed, all this has changed.
After understanding that this arrangement for the victims to go south was a feast of occupying territory, all the families agreed to the policy of letting the victims go south to eat, but out of their personal selfishness, they expanded the scope of food planned by Di Renjie many times, and they didn't think about whether these places had the ability to accept the disaster victims, and the consequence of this was that the poor places such as Jianzhou were also included in the scope of the disaster victims' food, and they were very excited to look at the huge territory, but the consequences were quite serious.
"Open the door, open the door, open the door quickly, we are ordered by the imperial court to go south to eat, quickly open the city gate and let us in."
Outside the city of Jianzhou, thousands of ragged victims were shouting loudly outside the low city gate, some of whom might have been overly excited, and from time to time they built stones and other things from the ground and threw them at the soldiers on the city wall.
"Ah..... He's milk, these damn things, why don't they die, they actually want to come to us to eat, it's just delusional, little Liuzi, you have a loud voice, shout to them, just say that the envoy and the Ming Mansion have said, let them go back where they came from, if they don't want to go back, go far, don't take it here, otherwise don't blame us for being unkind to them. A soldier who looked like a small boss couldn't help but roar after being stoned.
Just when the soldier named Xiao Liuzi shouted to the city, which once again provoked a burst of angry scolding from the victims of the city, there was also an argument in the Yali of the Jianzhou City Assassin Mansion.
"Zeng Changshi, are we doing this, there are 5,000 people outside the city, they come from thousands of miles, we just turn them away, if you let the court know, I'm afraid you and I can't escape the punishment of the court, it's better to ..... It's better to ........"
In the Assassin Shi Yamen, the official who pierced the Assassin Shi Mansion's Mansion looked a little frightened and said to an official who attacked him, and that frightened look made people feel that the person he was talking to was not his subordinates, but the emperor who was high above.
"Heheha, heheha, what's the matter, Liu Yuanjun wants to say, let's open the door and let those ants in, and then take out the food to make them full, isn't it." The dark-skinned old man, known as Zeng Changshi, said with a strange smile.
"Ah..... Yes, yes, yes, this is exactly what I mean, Zeng Changshi also knows, after all, we are court officials, how can we watch those people starve to death outside the city, it is better for us to give them a little food, and other things will be talked about later, what do you think. Hearing Zeng Changshi's words, Liu Tingshi nodded hurriedly, as if he was a little naughty boy who saw candy.
"Hahaha.......
Hmph, funny, it's really funny, this Jianzhou is our Jianzhou, this grain is our food, why the imperial court just let us give them all this with a holy decree, it's just delusional, tell you, as long as you live one day, no one wants to give them a grain of grain, of course, if Liu Yuanjun wants to be kind, it is better to contribute his own money, maybe those victims will think of your good, and say some good things about you in the court in the future, you see. After Zeng Changshi laughed twice, his expression changed, and he scolded Liu Tingshi angrily with an angry face.
What is strange is that if Shi Shi, the governor of other places, dares to talk to the assassin like this, not to mention being assassinated and taught a hard lesson, but a reprimand is inevitable, and at this time, the lord of this state, logically speaking, should be a majestic prince, hearing Zeng Changshi's words, but like a naughty boy being reprimanded by his strict father, he was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and immediately stood up and obediently listened to Zeng Changshi's reprimand.
"Ah....... It's a mistake, Zeng Changshi taught him that he must close the city gate, never let a disaster victim enter the city, and never let a grain of grain go out of the city, and ask Zeng Changshi to calm his anger. Liu Tingshi replied tremblingly.
may be quite satisfied with Liu Tingshi's answer, the anger on Zeng Changshi's face gradually receded, and he once again replaced it with that indifferent expression and said, "Well, yes, it should be like this, I once heard you Han people say that being an official is to be the master of the people, as the history of my Jianzhou Assassin, the lord of a state, you should always keep my people in mind, and don't think about how others are, besides, how others are, what does it matter to me to build a state." ”
After saying this, Zeng Changshi slowly got up, and under the congratulations of Liu Yuanjun, he walked outside, and above the lobby, the other officials of the Assassin's Mansion also followed him after Zeng Changshi left, and all left like an entourage.
........................
In the wilderness, in a clearing not far from Jianzhou City, there are some fires scattered and flickering, occasionally some people shuttle here, and most of the rest are sitting here silently, with a look like a dead man, lifeless, even the most innocent children, at this time, under the care of their parents, silently hiding by the fire, without saying a word.
It's not because they can't speak, but because their bodies are too weak, in order to reduce unnecessary waste of physical strength, they don't want to move, this time there are 5,000 people who are arranged to eat, compared with other states and counties, there are not many, originally they thought they were lucky, they didn't have to grab food with more disaster victims, but they didn't expect that after arriving here, not only did they not have the imaginary food and stable residence, but they couldn't even enter the city gate, thinking of what happened during the day today, many old people and women cried bitterly, And their cries made the children cry too, and for a while, the open space, which was still a little silent, was full of crying.
At any time, fragile will be strong, this is human nature, just when most people feel confused and sad about whether they can survive, some people are trying to think about how to survive.
"Da Lang, tell me, what should we do, those dog days in the city don't open the door, our food has already been eaten, fortunately, the weather in Jianzhou is a little warmer, and there are some wild vegetables to eat, but if you persist like this, in a few days, there are not many of these thousands of people who can continue to live, these are all villagers, can you watch everyone starve to death?" At a firepit, there were dozens of men, even if these people were hungry, but the spirit of the whole body was much stronger than others, and at this time, their eyes were fixed on one of them.
