Pinglu County, Lu County, which is the closest county to Juyeze among the six disaster relief counties, is only more than 20 miles away from Junoze, and it is also the most important passage for disaster victims to go to Qingzhou, and Pinglu County has become the largest gathering point for disaster victims in Qingzhou.

The wilderness on both sides of the official road north of Pinglu County is covered with endless tents, stretching for 20 miles, with 20,000 large tents and more than 300,000 victims, but this is only a temporary foothold for the victims.

After Zhang Xuan led the army back to Qingzhou, the 80,000 troops were successively thrown into the heavy disaster relief ranks.

Guarded by dozens of cavalrymen, Jang Hyun walked through a large tent, where men gathered to discuss their future lives, women were busy doing laundry, groups of children were playing hide and seek between tents, and the whole tent area was filled with the pungent smell of quicklime and dusty everywhere.

The official who accompanied Zhang Xuan to inspect the tent area was Jiao Wenmu, who was about 50 years old and very shrewd and capable, and he also rode a horse and introduced Zhang Xuan as he walked: "Now the victims of the disaster basically live together according to their families, the larger family has more than 100 people, and the smaller family has 20 or 30 people. ”

"How's the food going?"

This is Zhang Xuan's biggest concern, the daily food consumption is amazing, they can still hold it for a month or two, if it takes a long time, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold it anymore.

"According to the rules of the commander, it is impossible to eat enough rice every day for those under six years old, two rice per day for those aged six to sixteen, and three rice for those over sixteen years old. However, the salt is enough, and the Gaomi County Salt Factory sent 50,000 stone of salt yesterday. ”

"Is there enough tent?" Zhang Xuan asked again.

This time, they attacked Lu Mingyue and Liyangcang, and successively seized more than 100,000 tents, and tents were the only relief materials he had left.

"There are enough tents at the moment, but now I'm afraid that more victims will come, and it's really a bit unbearable."

"Then we have to speed up the evacuation. I told Wei Changshi yesterday in Xuchang County that the disaster victims should not stay for more than five days in the six disaster relief counties, and they must be evacuated to the counties as soon as possible. ”

"Please rest assured, General. We will speed up the evacuation! ”

At this time, Zhang Xuan turned over and dismounted, and got into a big tent, which seemed to be holding a family meeting, which was a medium-sized family, about 40 people, old and young gathered in one tent.

Suddenly, the people in the tent saw soldiers coming in, and they were so frightened that they all walked out of the tent from the other side. Jiao Wenmu hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, this is our Qingzhou Zhang Dashuai." Let's take a look at everyone's situation. ”

When everyone heard that it was Zhang Xuan who arrived, they were so frightened that they knelt down one after another, Zhang Xuan smiled and waved his hand, "Don't be nervous, who is the clansman!" ”

An old man stepped forward and bowed. "Little Lao'er is exactly!"

"Where are you from?" Zhang Xuan asked with a smile.

"We are from Yucheng County, Liang County, and the little old man's surname is Cao."

At this time, more than a dozen old men heard the news, all of them were elders or patriarchs of nearby families, kneeling down together and kowtowing to Zhang Xuan.

"Please be seated, everyone! I'll have a casual chat with you. ”

More than a dozen old men sat down one after another. Zhang Xuan also sat down across from them, and he motioned for Jiao Wenmu to sit beside him.

"Zhang Dashuai, we have been living here for six days, we want to know what will happen to us next?" Several old men asked anxiously.

"This question makes Jiao Juncheng answer everyone, he is Juncheng, and he knows the details better than me."

Jiao Wenmu smiled slightly: "Please don't worry, since it is a disaster relief, it will definitely be a disaster to the end, and hundreds of thousands of people will soon come here, so everyone will soon be evacuated to the counties of Qingzhou, and we are the same in Lu County, the local residents have begun to use their leisure time to build temporary accommodation for everyone, maybe it will be a little rougher, but it will never sleep in the fields, and then the county government will rent it to everyone in a rent-free way."

Everyone was so excited that they started talking, "It's too late to plant crops now, but potatoes can still be planted, if there is water and roots to do seeds, you can harvest them once before planting this summer, and you can also plant beans, pumpkins can also be, the key is to have water"

Jiao Wenmu and the others talked about it, then waved their hands, and everyone quieted down, then Zhang Xuan smiled and said: "We don't have much food, so the government can only provide the least relief, just like now, it must be not enough to eat, and can only survive, but there is food in the market, and everyone can earn money to buy food, for example, you can work for the army, you can participate in the construction of water conservancy, you can go to the mine to mine ore, women can spin and weave, as long as there is labor, Qingzhou has the opportunity to make money, and you can buy food with money, Even to buy fish for meat."

Seeing that everyone was attracted by his words, Zhang Xuan smiled at the group of women crowded at the door of the tent: "With money, women can also buy some fat powder, jewelry, and new shoes and clothes for their children. ”

At this time, a sturdy man couldn't help but ask, "How much money can you earn a day from mining?" ”

Zhang Xuan said with a smile: "Mining is hard work, but it also earns the most, if you are willing to work hard, you can earn ten yuan a month, and it is a good copper money five years ago, but it is not the current bad money, the price of our grain in Qingzhou is 80 yuan of rice, and now it is a little more expensive, Doumi Baiwen, everyone calculates, when you are a miner, you can buy ten stone of rice, a cow is only ten yuan, and you can't even earn so much from farming." ”

Zhang Xuan's words made many people tempted, being a miner can actually earn so much money, even if it is a small landlord in their hometown, he can't earn ten yuan a month, and it is all good money.

"Zhang Dashuai, I heard that there is still land to distribute in Qingzhou, and the tax is also very low, is it true?" An old man couldn't help but ask.

This is also a matter of concern to everyone, and there is silence in the big tent, and countless pairs of eyes are staring at Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan said slowly: "Qingzhou has not started to collect taxes for the time being, if it is to be levied, it will be slightly lower than the tax stipulated by the imperial court, as for land distribution, there is, but the premise is to settle in Qingzhou, and if you leave Qingzhou, the land will be taken away by the government, so it is called a mouth divided into fields, and only if there is a population, there will be land." ”

"How much exactly?" Several old men next to him asked again.

Zhang Xuan smiled, "Ding male grain field is twenty acres, Ding female mulberry field is ten acres, so a couple is about thirty acres of land, if you join the army, you will be given another twenty acres of Yongye field, and meritorious service will be rewarded with military field, military field is Yongye field, at least ten years of tax exemption, even if you don't live in the Qingzhou government, you can't take it away, you can pass it on to your descendants, why our Qingzhou army is fighting hard, it's because of land incentives."

Let me tell you, Qingzhou rewards military merits, three years in the army, can earn at least three acres of Yongye field, there is a soldier, also your Liang County Songcheng County, only one year in the army, brave battles, meritorious service, now there are 200 acres of land, and his land is exempt from labor for life, if he unfortunately dies, there are 50 acres of Yongye pension field, and his son is also exempt from labor for life."

Everyone exclaimed, the treatment of serving in the army is simply too generous, which makes many people excited.

At this time, a soldier walked quickly to Zhang Xuan's side and whispered a few words, and Zhang Xuan got up and said to everyone: "I still have some things, let's go first, let Jiao Juncheng continue to answer everyone's questions." ”

Everyone sent Zhang Xuan out of the big tent, Zhang Xuan turned over on his horse, urged the horse to go south with his own soldiers, and faintly heard a woman in the big tent asking loudly: "May I ask Jiao Juncheng, if my husband wants to join the army, how to sign up?" ”

Jang Xuan came to the southernmost part of the camp, where there are hundreds of large tents, which are the management center of the entire refugee camp, and officials are busy registering the information of the victims, such as names, ages, places of origin, how many people are in the family, what kind of livelihood they do, what skills they are good at, and so on.

Thousands of victims of the disaster are queuing up to register, and after registering, they can receive an iron plaque, which they can use to arrange camp tents and distribute food.

Zhang Xuan rushed all the way to the registration office, looking around, and suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "General Zhang, the old man is here!" ”

As soon as Zhang Xuan turned around, he saw Pei Ju sitting at a long table with a smile on his face, holding a pen in his hand, and a thick registration book in front of him. (To be continued.) )
