"I don't want you anymore!"

With a fierce face, she threatened Second Sister Guan, but the little girl didn't buy it, and her nose wrinkled and pouted to express her dissatisfaction, which made Li Xian groan in her heart, was she too indulgent to this Lori, so that she could actually treat this thing as a game?

drove the little girl away, and then Li Xi faced an even more headache.

Looking at the shack people kneeling down in front of them, with men in front, old and weak in the back, and even many women, Xiao Sheng groaned in pain: "Fourth brother, what are you going to do?" ”

Guan Tian and the others' hearts had just stretched, but their heads also exploded, these more than a thousand people came to beg for food, how could they cope with it in a small village?

"Beckon everyone to gather the surplus food, we can't watch the thousands of people starve to death outside our village."

Guan Fengsheng's soft heart began to attack again, but Tian Dayou had no objection this time, but just nodded helplessly. Xiao Sheng felt that something was wrong, and it was difficult to speak, after all, Fengtian Village was helping him, the flood guard, share the responsibility.

Li Xian sighed, it seems that he can only take out the hundreds of taels of silver that he still holds in his hand, the villagers do have surplus grain at home, but they have taken it out, but there is no money left, wouldn't they have to starve with these shantytowns.

"After eating this meal, what about the next meal? Besides, Shengmien, Doumi ......"

Then Li Xian shook his head, and he could see a lot of good deeds but calamities.

I frowned and thought for a while, but I didn't think of any way to get the best of both worlds, and I was about to give up, when I suddenly saw Jia Gouzi and Wu Shishi's nine orphans holding their heads high, the spears in their hands still clenched tightly, and they were staring at the shack people like torches, preventing them from making any more abnormal moves, which were extremely eye-catching in the crowd.

Orphan...... Pregnant!

Li Shi's eyes lit up, and he arranged it immediately, and when everyone heard his plan, they took a moment, and only after a long time did they nod their heads like chickens pecking rice, this method is good!

But then his head shook like a fan.

"This is a person, not a chicken or a duck, how can you feed it?"

"Fourth brother, our village can't open this good hall."

What's the solution?

Buy people!

If the shanty people have nothing, they give them food, not to mention that they will not solve the problem, and it is easy to leave too many disasters.

But the shanty people are not really nothing, they still have children.

Turning charity into a transaction, both sides of this matter are equal, so there is no favor, so naturally there is no need to worry about the grievances and entanglements in the back, but Guan Tian and others are worried that this person can't afford it.

"I pay for it, I pay for it, I don't want the village to spend money!"

Li Xian is righteous and awe-inspiring, but he is saying in his heart, you have no way to raise it if you want to!

Children between the ages of eight and fourteen, male or female, are given three taels of silver and one hundred catties of grain. The grain was collected by the villagers, and Li Shi subsidized it with silver. As for the silver, the few hundred taels of silver in Li Xian's hand can still be dealt with, where to find the follow-up expenses, Li Xi is not worried, he still has some dividends confiscated.

Let the shanty-dwellers push out the representatives and talk to them about it, and the shanty-dwellers all have the same words. Selling children in disaster years, you can sell them for two or three dollars a piece, and now you give such a price, and you also take grain, such a transaction, no matter how you think about it, you take advantage of yourself.

It's just that the problem comes again, there are only seventy or eighty eligible children, and those who have sold their children can live, but what if they don't have children?

"Settle this matter by yourselves, and those who have money and grain can borrow or sell it, but we can't control it."

Li Xi said to the representatives of the shantytowns, anyway, he gave more than 200 taels of silver and 8,000 catties of grain, and the rest was coordinated by the shantytowns themselves. In this kind of thing, the more you do and the more you make mistakes, it is better to let the shack people call their own shots.

At this point, not to mention Guan Tian and the others, even Xiao Sheng, and Fan Jin and Fan Xiucai, who were so frightened that they shrank in the village and closed their doors, and now they were arrested to help keep accounts and share money, couldn't keep up with Li Shi's thinking.

The matter of charity has become a transaction, and you can completely withdraw and throw all the interests and grievances to the shanty people themselves, how can things be done like this!?

"If you have money and food, you can't ignore other families, right?"

Li Xi asked the representative of the shantytown who was still a little hesitant, the middle-aged man named Luo Heng gritted his teeth, and finally nodded helplessly, this matter was thrown on him, that is, a great responsibility, he had to persuade the family who sold his children to see what way he could take care of the family who did not sell his children.

"Brother Li, I knew you were doing good, but I didn't expect you to be so ......"

Luo Heng said in a tangled way, but he couldn't find the words to describe Li Xian's behavior.

"I just think that since you can hug each other and run so far to rob the village, then you can also hug each other and take care of each other."

Li Yan's faint words made Luo Heng ashamed.

"That's a lie from a thief! Brother Li, don't worry, next time you see them, you won't let them have a good time! ”

Just as he said this, the shanty people scratched, and the villagers also looked in one direction, and saw that on the Tianxin River, a string of rushing boats were slowly approaching, and the flags of "Shaozhen Zuoyinghou", "Yingde County Tang Li", and "Yingde Lian Zongpeng" fluttered in the wind on the pole. The figures on the ship are longing, and I am afraid that there will not be three or five hundred people.

"If it weren't for the fourth brother to make you sober up, you wouldn't have had a good time."

Xiao Sheng looked at the person who came and said so.

Li Zhushou came in person, with Hou Lin of the Biaozuo Battalion of Shaozhou Town, Peng Hu, the head of training in Yingde County, and more than 400 officers and soldiers, Lian Yong, and Kuai Minzhuang, all of whom came in preparation for dealing with these thousands of shantytowns.

"The surrounding area has been sealed by the battalion soldiers of the town mark, even if something happens to you, it will be difficult to fly!"

Li Zhushou drank the shanty people kneeling at his feet.

"Since Fengtian Village has taken care of you, you have also reined in the precipice and have not injured anyone's lives, so this incident will not be investigated. Go back to your own mountain field and live a good life, this county will send someone to investigate your situation, and the court will never sit idly by and watch the people suffer! Believe in the Imperial Court! ”

The county magistrate's reprimand was like a hammer, smashing the heads of Luo Heng and other shantytown representatives on the ground, splashing pieces of fine soil.

Luo Heng and other shantytown representatives must go to the squatting room to record confessions, and at the same time, the shantymen have to guarantee each other layer by layer. Master Luo, who came with him, cooked these things one by one, and Li Zhushou grabbed Li Shi with a look of relief.

"This county knows that you Li Xian is young and promising! Famous teachers produce high apprentices, and Mr. Duan's vision is really powerful! ”

Of course, Li Zhushou was happy, not to mention that he helped Xiao Sheng exterminate the bandits in the walled fort before, and even brought him the opportunity to solve Yang Xia. Let's just say that this time, if Li Shi hadn't taken the villagers to live in the field, these shantymen would definitely be able to wash Fengtian Village in blood, and their year-end evaluation would have been in vain.

Not only that, but how to settle the original 1,000-odd shanty people, he was also heartbroken on the ship. The money must be allocated for this matter, but the silver in the county is the silver in his pocket, and he will have to let blood go anyway. Unexpectedly, Li Shi bought the children of these shantymen and settled them temporarily. As long as these shanty people are driven back to their original places, and then they go to pressure the mountain farm owners to reduce the rent, so that these shanty people can breathe a sigh of relief, this matter will be settled in the near future, and the far disposal is to write the state and county of origin of these shanty people, and let them come over to collect people as soon as possible.

The matter of the shantymen is over, but the matter of Yang Chun and other bandits is not over, Li Zhushou went home, and the guerrilla and Lian always led troops to chase Yang Chun, Li Xian saw them leave, but there was a slight fear in his heart.

These officers and soldiers came so quickly! Doesn't it mean that the Manchu bureaucracy dragged its feet and passed the buck in everything?

"After Yang Chun burned the Zhong Mansion, Li Zhixian submitted a report to the government and the governor, and Bai Zongrong also sent an urgent report to Zhao Zhitai and Shi Junmen, all of whom were on guard against his followers. With the Jun order of the Taiwan control and the text of the Xiantai, Bai Zongrong and Li Zhixian can deploy troops at any time in this county. Now Yang Chun has instigated thousands of shanty people to migrate in the county, and they have reported all the way to the flood pond along the way, and their speed is still slow. ”【1】

Xiao Sheng explained roughly.

"Although our Luying Flood Pond is usually tired, in the event of banditry and civil unrest, if the local military and government become serious, it will be a net of recovery. Let's just say that this group of shanty people, as soon as they got out of the mountain field and gathered together, they were reported by the Tang soldiers in the north. If the above is nimble, the officers and soldiers of the brigade can be dispatched on the same day, and this is already the third day that the shanty people have descended the mountain......"

Xiao Sheng's words were still slightly complacent.

"At that time, Liu made a rebellion in Taiwan, and after capturing Maowei Port, the dispatch of troops had already reached the hands of Zhenrong. After three days, Lord Bai chased Liu to the area of Rapids Creek, and after waiting for two days of reinforcements, the war began, and the whole chaos was peaceful in seven days. ”

He said happily, Li Xian listened, but his heart kept sinking.

This was the first time he had seen the efficiency of the Manchu court in dealing with the grass people, and Li Xian confessed that he was really a little shocked.

solved the shantytown crisis, and also lifted the morale of the villagers, and also accepted seventy or eighty orphans, originally Li Xian's heart was fluttering and complacent, and the two words in his heart were faintly churning, but he didn't expect that the officers and soldiers were roaring, without the previous fatigue and slackness, it seems that the so-called prosperity of the Kangxi Dynasty is indeed a guarantee......

"Ahh

On the other hand, Xiao Sheng was also sighing deeply.

"This is not a credit, it is nothing more than calming out the aftermath, and the previous waves are still deeply injured."

He was lamenting that the eight cannons of the Bai General Soldier had not landed, and his own economic commander not only flew, but also had to vomit blood to be able to stop the Bai General Soldier's bleeding.

Li Xian's sinking mind pulled up, this net may be very dense, but one of the nodes, he has already grasped it, if ...... If he helps this Xiao Sheng again.

In addition, he also has to harvest the last crops for the whole thing, who let Yang Chun cooperate so much?

"Old Xiao, if you can solve these eight cannons, what good can it be?"

Li Shi asked, Xiao Sheng smiled bitterly, this joke is really not level.

"Don't talk about the total, the thousand can promise me one!"

Li Xi looked at Xiao Sheng very seriously.

"If I help you get these eight cannons, how can you thank me?"

Xiao Sheng was stunned for a moment, and his heart was empty.

"You...... What else do you need from me to thank you? ”

Then Xiao Sheng's breathing became short, and his face flushed.

"If you can really get eight cannons and let me get this skill, I will have your surname!"

This was too rough, and Li Shi kicked Xiao Sheng's ass.

"Get out!"

Xiao Sheng was rolling on the ground as he pleaded in a loud voice.

"I mean, I treat you as a kiss...... Stay! Whatever you say is what you say! ”

[1: Before the White Lotus Sect and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Manchu Qing suppressed the local area with the Green Battalion as the core, and the military power was very completely decomposed. The governor has the power to transfer troops within his jurisdiction, but he must report to the court and obtain permission before he can move troops. If the matter is urgent, you can transfer troops while playing the report. Under the prefecture and county, the local green camp has a place to ask for cooperation, or if it is ordered by the upper peak, the brigade can be dispatched, and it cannot be dispatched at will. If you want to cross the county, it will have to be a big event, and the governor needs to be in the middle of the dispatch. The detailed rules in this are a very large article, and the core principle is that "take care of your own territory, solve small disasters by yourself, and use the breakwater to contain the situation and wait for reinforcements to arrive." 】
