The people live on food.

From today, the vigorous wheat rush is about to begin, it takes about a month before and after, first the winter wheat is harvested, detained, dried, stored, and then the ground is turned over to plant millet, this wheat rush is barely passed! There will be hoeing, grass clearing, irrigation, and so on!

The boundaries of Jizhou are mostly two crops a year, and winter wheat and spring millet are cultivated in turn, such as Pingjian County, Luancheng County, Gaoyi County, etc., but further north, the area of Zhongshan Guangchang County and Changshan Lingshou County near Youzhou can only be harvested once a year.

After breakfast, Wen Chou thought that it was time to go to the boundary of Taolin Township to take a look at the work of appeasing the displaced people, after all, in the future, they will be the same as the villagers of Shahe, they will be his people, and they will be the foundation of his rise, and they must not favor one over the other!

"Wang Jun, how is the pacification of the displaced people in recent days?" Wen Chou asked Xiangzuo Wang Chong, who was standing on his side.

"It's all been notified according to Wenjun's intentions, and on the whole, it's quite smooth, maybe Wenjun's courage and courage play a certain deterrent role, but there is not much trouble." Wang Chong said one by one.

"Oh, and that more?" Wen Scandal said with a smile.

"Isn't it, most of the homeless people came to join after hearing about your fame, so they are at ease." A servant sneered and complimented.

"Ahem, don't compliment me, let's go and have a look." Wen Chou coughed awkwardly and changed the subject.

"No." Everyone answered.

Wen Chou walked to the gate of the official temple, Ah Er and other villagers led the horse out, Wen Chou and Ah Er laughed and talked a few words before turning over and getting on the horse.

The group said a lot, a little and a lot, there were more than a dozen! In addition to Wen Chou, Wang Chong and other two or three township officials, Yan Liang and Wen Ba accompanying them, the rest are Liu Zhong, Tie Qian, Dong Jiang and other township light heroes. -- Tie Qian and Dong Jiang came that night in the township city.

Wen Chou and Wang Chong rode slowly in front, at first they still talked about some political affairs in the township, but later they were all kinds of rumors and anecdotes in the township, and when they were happy, they laughed a few times from time to time.

And Yan Liang, Wenba and Liu Zhong and other light heroes, with similar temperaments, gathered in the back, talked very happily, and there was laughter for a while, but I don't know what kind of interesting thing that the light hero said!

When everything is done, everyone has let go of their hearts, chatting at will, and sweeping away the oppressive and urgent atmosphere of the recent month!

Soon Wen Chou and the others came to the official road, and on both sides of the official road were large wheat fields.

This year's year is good, the winter snow is abundant, the spring rain is abundant, the winter wheat in the field is also full of ears and grains, the wind blows, the yellow wheat seedlings are undulating, and a fragrance mixed with heat hits the nose. Walking to the official road, you can see three or three field slaves, wearing calf nose pants and shirtless, working in the middle. There are also good families, who are busy in the fields!

Wen Chou and his people walked on the road, and many farmers recognized Wen Chou and stepped forward to greet one or two.

"What is Wen Jun doing here?" After a farmer piled up the freshly cut wheat, he patted his body again, and then Gong Jin asked.

"Oh, it's you? How's it going, is it a good harvest? This man recognized that it was the middle-aged man who led the people in the township to report to Wen Chou that day, Wen Chou glanced at the fields and piles of wheat, and said with a smile.

"Hehe, Towen-kun, your blessing, if not, I don't dare to imagine, I dare not imagine." The man smiled, thinking, "Wen Jun actually remembers me", and hurriedly bowed his hand and said respectfully. It's respect from the heart! It was Wen Chou who made him have a bumper harvest year and avoid the scourge of thieves.

"Oh, we're going to go to the peach grove to take a look, aren't most of the new villagers arranged there?" Wen Chou also smiled. Being able to win the respect of the villagers shows that he is still relatively successful in this rank. There is no reason for sorrow.

"Oh, in this way, then the people will not disturb Wenjun, I wish you a smooth trip." The middle-aged man laughed.

"Hehe, I also wish my fellow countrymen a full harvest!" Wen Chou is also a word.

……

"Tsk, Wen Jun is really a rare good official!" The middle-aged man sighed when he saw Wen Chou and his party walking all the way and stopping from time to time to talk with the villagers in the fields.

And this is not only his voice, but the voice of most villagers! The image of Wen Chou and pro-people spread among the people, and the name of "Benevolence, Righteousness and Filial Piety" became more prosperous.

……

It was already noon when the group arrived at the makeshift soup kitchen shed in Taolin. Sixty or seventy villagers were busy giving soup to the hungry.

This porridge shed has been built for more than a month, and a porridge meal has never been interrupted at noon every day, I don't know how many hungry people have been rescued, how many people have been extinguished, and the fire of hope has been rekindled!

A meal of porridge will not help these desperate refugees much, but it can save them a mouthful of life. As long as this breath of life remains, they have hope of living again. And most of the refugees who have been rescued have also joined Shahe Township, trying to do something to repay the grace of life!

The people are simple and kind-hearted, and they have entered a virtuous circle from the peach forest.

The arrival of Wen Chou and his party caused a lot of commotion.

"Who's that tall horse?"

"Didn't you see Zhang Tou greet him respectfully, could it be the rumored Youzhi Wenjun?"

"Isn't that the food he raised for us?"

"I heard that he is a fierce general!"

"Shhhhhh Don't touch the nobleman's head! ”

"It's okay, Wen Jun is benevolent, righteous and virtuous! How can you see it like a small person like us? ”

……

There were about two or three thousand people at the scene, divided into five or six settlements, and many people came in the distance with wooden bowls. I think I just returned from a construction site in the township.

Most of the displaced people who decided to settle here chose a piece of land near Shahe Township to build houses, although they were all wooden huts and thatched houses, but it was much better than sleeping in the wilderness.

There are seven or eight cauldrons in the shed, and porridge is cooking. From time to time, some of them were boiled, and they were carried by the villagers and poured into wooden barrels not far away, where the homeless people received their porridge.

"How long will the food last?" Wen Chou dismounted and asked the steward who had arrived.

"Wen Jun, the porridge shack is almost unmaintainable, but fortunately, the thousand stone refined grain a few days ago, if you save a little bit and the number of refugees is not large, it can still last for more than two decades." Zhang Tou Gongjin said.

"Thousands of stones of fine grain, 10,000 people want to eat, can it last for more than 20 years?" Wen Chou asked.

"If it's normal, it definitely can't, generally speaking, one stone of grain is enough for forty people to eat a day, a thousand stone is a day for forty thousand people, if it is ten thousand people, enough to eat, it can last for four or five days." Zhang Tou looked at Wen Chou's frowning brows, and Gong Jin said.

"Extend four or five days to twenty or thirty days, and this is troubled times! There is no food to eat, and the corpses are exposed to the wilderness. Wen Chou was even more worried and sighed.

"It is said that they are still lucky, when they meet Wenjun, there is still a porridge and food every day, otherwise there are many people who are starving and dying in the wilderness!" Zhang Tou also sighed.

"So how is the house construction?" Wen Chou didn't want to talk more about this miserable topic, he had thought of all the ways to think of it, the grain had been raised by the rich families in the township, and he had even taken out more than half of his own wealth! Wen Chou thought to himself: "I hope that after this bumper year, I can raise more." ”

"This has been basically built, although they are all wooden huts, but they can also shelter from the wind and rain!" Zhang Tou said. After thinking about it, he said: "Wenjun, now, you can sow spring millet, but this millet is ......."

"Well, that's good, that's good." Wen Chou nodded and said. He frowned for a moment and said: "Regarding the problem of millet seeds, I have already prepared some, about five or six hundred households to sow seeds, but I didn't expect that the number of people who came here would be more than 10,000!" I'll figure it out again. ”

"Wen Jun is benevolent! Great luck for the people! Hearing this, Zhang Tou bowed down and bowed.

Seeing this, the homeless people looked left and right and asked what was going on, only to see Zhang Tou talking to the man a little, so they bowed down and bowed. Soon, the news spread that Wen Chou had agreed to mention the arch millet seed. The people are all impressed! They all bowed down and shouted "Parents! ”

"To the villagers in the hungry situation, I am already ashamed of myself, thinking about it every day, I hope that the villagers will forgive, so that the people are rich and planted, there is a responsibility of order, how can I accept the gift of you?" Seeing this, Wen Chou hurriedly shouted. Then he bowed down and helped his head to get up, and motioned for the homeless to get up!
