Chapter 170: Handling of Disaster Victims
After eating the last steamed bun with clear water, I walked out of the house, and the angry Lao Bo at the door looked up at the sky, hating the two guards at the door. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
When the guards saw me appear, the guards greeted me and said, "Leader." ā
When Lauber heard the cry, he immediately turned around, and when he saw me, he immediately smiled, and changed his face faster than the sky.
Laubo said, "Virtuous son-in-law, I have finally waited for you. ā
"I was thinking of taking the time to see you," I said, rubbing my temples, "what is the matter with you looking for me in such a hurry." ā
"Good thing," Laubo exclaimed, "it's time for you to do a good thing with Lauyu." ā
This father-in-law really wants his woman to marry as a wife, more anxious than me, but I like it, as the so-called monkey urgency of his is exactly what I need, I hesitated and said: "Is it appropriate to do it at this time." ā
"It's suitable, it's not a big feast, just an ordinary banquet, and it doesn't hinder anyone, what's inappropriate." Laubo seems to have made up his mind, and all the issues are clearly considered.
"Isn't this wronged Lao Yu, now I am also the number one person, too cold, afraid of ......" I said worriedly.
"It's okay, it's just an extraordinary time, and it's good to be low-key." Laubo comforted.
"This matter has to be considered in the long run, I am alone, I have never been married, and I don't understand anything about getting married." I said helplessly.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, I understand, I'll handle it, you just need to find a witness and master of ceremonies, there are so many capable people in your army, it must not be difficult." Laubo said with a laugh.
"They're all big guys, where did they do this?" I pondered.
"Not a single one." Lauber was a little incredulous.
I suddenly thought of a person, Lao Shang, this person has elegant taste, good conversation, as long as he is willing to do a good job, the key is whether he is willing to do this for me.
"Yes, there is a man." I muttered.
"Nanwang County Order." I say.
Laubo said happily: "This person is good, and his status is one of the best. ā
"I need to ask him if he's willing." I say.
"Well," said Lauber, "I've already figured out the time, it's the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow is a good day." ā
"The day after tomorrow." I never expected such a rush, but my heart is beautiful, the day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow, how long has it been since I eaten meat, it's time to open meat.
"It's decided, but virtuous son-in-law, the banquet you need to hold to get married should cost a lot, and you know my situation." Lao Bo was embarrassed to say that as a former rich man, it was really unprecedented for him to ask for money.
"I know, I'll send someone to bring the money in the afternoon." I said briskly, my head suddenly cleared and comfortable, this groom is really good.
In the afternoon, I picked a sum of money in the treasury and sent it as a bride price to the residence I arranged for the Lao Bo family, after doing this, I went to the county government yamen again, and told the labor merchant my request, he agreed without thinking about it, which made me very happy, and did these two things, just in case, I sent the sergeant of Khan Chau and his banner out, stationed at the junction of Nanwang County and Hailing County, no need to fight hard with the White Turban Army, as long as it prevents the harassment of the small army of the White Turban Army, and if you can't win, you can run. This is my parting advice to them, and it is also a military order.
The news that my battalion leader was about to marry soon spread throughout Nanwang County, because I saw that there were many times more refugees on the street outside my place for no reason, and finally, the sergeants had to block the streets, and in order to show their uneasiness, I ordered the sergeants to hold a proper distribution of steamed buns, and the hungry people could get one each.
There are hundreds of refugees in Nanwang County today, and I am thinking in my heart that I will send all these refugees to Jidongguan to reclaim wasteland and grow rice, so that as long as time flies, I can get enough food, but I really don't have any extra food.
In the end, I made up my mind to send these refugees to Jidongguan first, where people would not starve to death, and they could eat without leaves and turf, so after distributing the steamed buns, I gave an order to send all these refugees to Jidongguan.
Such a big thing happened in Nanwang County, which attracted the attention of the labor merchants, late at night, without sleeping, came to visit me at my residence, Gao Jili was coming back from outside, and Lao Zhongyong sat and read with me in the study.
I listened to the footsteps outside the house, sonorous and powerful, the chain armor sneered, I thought it was Gao Jili, I heard the voice, sure enough, it was him, he led the two Fire Moon sergeants, and came back with a tired face.
I asked, "Everyone was sent away, nothing went wrong." ā
Gao Jili said: "As soon as they heard that there were steamed buns to eat, they would not starve to death, they were like a swarm of bees, scrambling, no longer worried and scruples, and followed along." ā
I said helplessly: "People are sent away, where will the food come from, hundreds of mouths are waiting to eat, there is a shortage of food, it is an urgent need, there is no food to eat, they don't make any trouble, I really can't rest assured." ā
Lao Zhongyong suddenly said: "The battalion leader doesn't need to worry, as long as the precepts are formulated in advance, promise them, and don't let them starve to death, these cowardly and incompetent hungry people can't make any big waves, if they dare to rebel, they would have followed the White Turban Army to rebel, I went to see it earlier, the hungry people are dragging their families, the old, weak, sick and disabled, and they are too late to be grateful." ā
"That's it." I really didn't think about it carefully, Lao Zhong used this reminder to make me suddenly clear, I immediately asked Lao Zhongyong to write a letter, tomorrow to the flint carpenter captain who has gone to the Huoyue camp, and issue a strict decree among the hungry people, and those who violate the law will be severely punished.
As he spoke, the sergeant outside the door reported that the county ordered the laborers and businessmen to visit.
"What is he doing at this time?" I wondered.
The sergeant brought the merchant in, and when the merchant saw me, he immediately quickened his pace, looked at me and said, "Fire Spirit Battalion Leader, where have you taken all the hungry people?" ā
"They are hindering all kinds of affairs in the city, and I sent them all to Jidongguan." I say.
"Jidongguan," said the laborer indignantly, "didn't you take them to a remote mountain col, dig a pit, and kill them all?" ā
"Brother Lao Shang, how can you think so," I said disdainfully, "am I such a cold-blooded murderer?" ā
"Really, not?" Lao Shang was immediately deflated, and seeing that I looked sincere, he had no reason not to believe it.
"It's really not," I explained bitterly, "the Huoyue Camp in Jidongguan can grow labor crops, instead of worrying about the raids of the White Turban Army, it is better to send these refugees to Jidongguan, in this way, it is safer than in Nanwang County, not to mention that tomorrow is my big day, I will not see blood myself and do that terrible evil thing, am I that kind of person?" ā
The laborer said embarrassedly: "A fellow villager of mine suddenly found out and said that the conscription army had deceived all his refugee relatives out of the city, so that they could all be killed in the pit, so as not to cause trouble to Donghai County." ā
"What a bastard of yours from the same village, he's alarmist and ill-intentioned." I scolded.
"Fire Spirit Camp Leader, that's not what you really planned?" The laborer was still relieved and questioned again.
"If you don't believe me, you can send someone who can trust me to the Fire Moon Camp to see what it is." I said angrily.
"Fire Spirit Battalion Leader, I am now the county commander of Nanwang County, it is necessary to be in charge of the people of Nanwang County, although many of them are not from Nanwang County, but the same is true for people in other places," Lao Shang said calmly, "We can't careless of human life, a long time ago, there was a big flood in Donghai County, and the high-ranking officials of Donghai County were unable to provide disaster relief, do you know what the means adopted are, that is, to trick the victims into a remote mountain col, and all of them were killed." ā
"Is it true that there is such a thing?" I can't believe it.
"It's true, this is what my fellow villager said, his grandfather's family was tragically destroyed in this way, thinking that we want to do the same again." The laborer said bitterly. (To be continued.) )
