When Huang Side saw that it was Liu Minyou, he hurriedly came over to say hello, "The student has seen Lord Liu, but Master Chen has not come over yet, please stay for a while." ”

He turned his head and saw Mo Huaiwen smiling behind him, and greeted Mo Huaiwen again. Huang Side was one of the first members of the literacy class, a few of whom went to the army to serve as the first instructors, and most of the others were in the tunpu or school. Mo Huaiwen is also his classmate, and he took the line of civil affairs.

Liu Minyou was not satisfied with Huang Side's appearance after graduation, but nodded slightly, picked up a cotton jacket and looked through it, and broke a few holes, revealing the blackened cotton inside, and some dead insect bodies on it.

Mo Huaiwen saw that Liu Minyou's expression was not good, and hurriedly explained: "This batch of displaced people has just been settled, and they have not finished making winter clothes, so they have to buy some old ones from Lao Tunhu in Chapter 78 to supplement them first, and this batch of old clothes that have been captured and returned by the army in the past. ”

Huang Side touched his beard and flattered: "My Wendeng camp has become famous all over the world under the command of Lord Chen and Mr. Liu, and there are many defectors, it should be more than 100,000 people, these many people have to be issued winter clothes, no matter what, it is not enough, when they arrive at our Wendeng camp, they have food to eat, and some old clothes can avoid the cold It is their blessing." ”

Liu Minyou sighed and threw the cotton clothes back into the car, if it weren't for the expansion of the army, the winter clothes of the displaced people would have been able to do more, but now the world is in chaos, there is no army and there is no qiē, and most of the annual income of the Wendeng battalion is used for the army. In the second half of this year, the newly built tunpu was built with very little investment, and there were shacks everywhere, which was not much different from the refugee camp.

"Chief Instructor Huang's remarks are debatable." Liu Minyou turned to Huang Side, Huang Side somehow offended this gentleman again, and hurriedly put away his smug expression and bowed to listen.

"What we eat and wear, what the army uses, the armor and guns. All of them come from the hands of the people, today's generals, craftsmen, and commanders. Even the displaced people back then, including me and Master Chen, also had a time of displacement. Today's homeless people must also be the future soldiers and generals, and among them may not be on the right path of talent like Lord Huang Chapter 78, so I think that they are willing to travel long distances and hardships to join us, which is the blessing of our Wendeng camp. ”

Mo Huaiwen bowed in admiration and said: "Lord Liu is compassionate and compassionate, and his heart is pure, no wonder every household calls him a living bodhisattva." Your subordinates must remember what your Excellency said today. ”

Huang Side was helpless. He has a high position now, and he is a celebrity in front of Chen Xin, but in front of Liu Minyou, he can only get along with his subordinates, and he actually doesn't pay much attention to the homeless people in his heart, because there are more and more people now. It doesn't seem that manpower is very valuable, but Liu Min has a big reason, and he has to pretend to be strict and teachable.

At this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves, Chen Xin led more than ten guards such as sea dogs to rush over on horseback, saw that Liu Min had arrived, laughed, beckoned the guards to bring the empty horses, and the group went out of the camp to the No. 20 Tunbao.

Once out of town, there was an endless amount of white outside. From time to time, the horses snorted and spewed out clouds of white gas.

The two rode in front, Liu Minyou's riding skills were already quite proficient, and he was very relaxed on horseback, and asked Chen Xin: "Do you still have time to inspect the people's situation?" Isn't the Daling River waiting for you to save your life? ”

Chen Xin smiled, "Zuda has a long life. Don't worry, as soon as Kong Youde and them came back, Wang Tingtry and Sun Yuanhua were both angry like thunder, urging these people to go on the road every day, even so, Kong Youde still dragged his feet, anyway, I told Wang Tingtry that I have to go with the Dengzhou army, when are they ready to stop, when will I set off. ”

Liu Minyou really wanted to ask about Kong Youde, but he didn't ask, and Chen Xin didn't have a few words of truth in his mouth, and asking was equivalent to asking in vain.

Chen Xin turned to ask when Li Ranzhu would give birth to a child, and the two of them started to talk about homely things, and at this time, Huang Side and the others could only follow far behind, and they didn't dare to come over and interject.

No. 20 Tunpu is a little further away, it was newly built in the second half of this year, and the supporting land is relatively poor hills, with a small amount of abandoned land.

They walked for nearly an hour, and when they arrived at the shack area of the tunbao, they were giving porridge at this time, and these new tun households, unkempt and unclothed, were queuing up to receive them under the reprimand of the tun chief, and when they saw a group of officers and soldiers on horseback coming, they all showed a look of awe, and retreated their bodies back.

Huang Side got off the horse and ran to the front, looking for the tun chief and the training officer, the new tun chief is a veteran who has been injured and retired, and came to salute the old leader Chen Xin, and salute the current leader Liu Minyou.

Chen Xin dismounted and looked around, the scene in front of him was not unfamiliar, the poverty and disasters everywhere in the north, this is just a small microcosm.

The two went to the soup kitchen first, Chen Xin went directly to the refugees in the queue, and talked to a refugee with a child, and the surrounding homeless people had to kneel, Chen Xin hurriedly asked Huang Side and others to help him up, and personally picked up a child, and took out candy for him to eat, the refugees gradually stopped being nervous, and showed a simple smile on their faces.

Huang Side took the opportunity to say loudly beside him: "Fellow villagers, this is our Lord Chen of Wendeng Camp, a few years ago I also came to Wendeng like you, since following Lord Chen, the days are different, Lord Chen gave us a field house, food and clothing, and now our old Huang has everything, you can come to Wendeng, it is really a blessing for your ancestors." ”

When he said these words, he peeked at Liu Minyou, but Huang Side only paused slightly, and then continued: "As long as we follow Lord Chen, our children and grandchildren also have hope, and the adults have given us so much, we are all honest people, so naturally we have to repay Lord Chen, do things well for Lord Chen, listen to the arrangements of the adults, and be a soldier, and the soldiers are not croppers, except for the daughter-in-law, but everything is ......."

When he flickered, the refugees grinned when they heard it, and Chen Xin waved his hand a few times to silence everyone and began to talk about his history of hard struggle.

The two sang and harmonized, talking wildly, Liu Minyou pouted, went to the pot to look at the porridge, and fished it out with a spoon, there were rice and coarse grains in it, and the concentration was up to standard.

Then he went to the shack to see the fire situation, not long ago another camp was careless with fire, burned dozens of shacks, more than 10 people died, this era of fire prevention is a difficult problem to solve, most of the grass houses and brick houses in the north are mixed, in fact, there is no fire prevention. Even Jingshi has a thatched house, and firewood and carbon are used for cooking and heating. There are a lot of flammable materials piled up in the house, once it catches fire, it has to burn a large area, and the first year of Chongzhen Ningyuan fire burned thousands of houses.

Liu Min also has no way to ask them to build qualified buildings, Wang Zheng's strange artifact diagram says that there is a fire extinguishing water hose in it, but the practicality is not strong, for the time being, it can only let the various tun chiefs pay more attention to reduce the human factor.

Mo Huaiwen and the stupid monk had been following him, Liu Minyou carefully checked the vicinity, and there were still many sick numbers in the shack he walked through. Coughing and moaning inside. Liu Minyou took out the charcoal and wrote it down, preparing to ask the army to support some doctors when he went back.

When the group returned to the soup kitchen, Chen Xin had already finished his speech and handed out cotton clothes to the refugees by the carriage, and the refugees were excited. When they received it, they all knelt down and praised it.

Chen Xinfa for a while, seeing that the propaganda effect had been achieved, asked other guards to send it, and when he arrived at Liu Minyou's side, he asked: "Why don't you also send it, these are people from Tunpu, they are all your subordinates, leave an impression first, and then manage it well." ”

Liu Minyou said unhappily: "I'm not going, you're putting on a show." These cotton clothes are sent according to the process of civil affairs, why do you need to send them in person, we look at it now to help them, in fact, they will return to us in the future far more than we give, and now this form is more like a charity. And I think this is what they deserve, and we should not have a sense of superiority in our hearts, but a sense of guilt. ”

Chen Xin blinked, he was a little inexplicable, this routine was not too outrageous.

Liu Minyou took out the booklet and said: "Lord Chen, the next time you come to inspect, let's take a look at the actual problems inside, now I need some military medical assistance, and it is best to support the pack horses to pull the carts, and send more carbon to the remote Tunpu, the firewood around here has been exhausted, and they have to freeze to death in the ice and snow." ”

"Support, immediate support." Chen Xin saw that Liu Min was angry, and hurriedly agreed, and recruited his accompanying soldiers to let them record.

Liu Minyou waited for the soldiers to remember it and then said: "The people are not his puppets of Huang Side, he doesn't care about his livelihood on weekdays, he sends something during the New Year's holidays, gains a sense of superiority and then does propaganda, what is this called mission." Don't call me for this kind of performance in the future, I'll wait in a bunch of chores, and let Chief Huang plan and direct the performance to finish it in one stop. ”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and got on the horse, the two of them talked in a low voice, the others didn't know what to do, but Mo Huaiwen heard it next to him, he was a little embarrassed and hurriedly said goodbye to Chen Xinxing, and chased Liu Minyou.

Seeing this, Huang Side came over and said in surprise: "My lord, why did Mr. Liu leave in a hurry?" Do you want to come to visit the homeless? ”

Chen Xin smiled and said: "I have something to arrange for him to do, you don't care, just do it in the future, but Mr. Liu has a lot of affairs, so you don't bother him." ”

Huang Side replied: "The subordinates know, but Lord Liu seems to have always been dissatisfied with the instructor, and now the funds of the Mission Bureau have not yet been approved, and the monthly salaries of the personnel are still received by the army, and the subordinates are often panicked in their hearts, for fear of provoking Lord Liu's anger." ”

Chen Xin shook his hand, he knew what Liu Min was worried about, and said to Huang Side at the moment: "Don't worry about the funds, let's keep some of the seized in the future, it will be enough to subsidize the Propaganda Bureau, you have done a good job recently, continue to do it in this direction." ”……

Liu Minyou galloped all the way, Mo Huaiwen followed behind without making a sound, and as soon as he returned to the Civil Affairs Department and sat down, a person from the Industrial Bureau came to report, saying that Wang Zheng was leaving, and he wanted to see Liu Minyou before leaving.

Liu Minyou stood up, knowing that he still couldn't keep this person, the matter in Dengzhou has been getting bigger and bigger recently, Wang Zheng finally knew, and he had also heard of the contradiction between Wendengying and Dengzhou, and his choice was not strange at all.

Wang Zheng has been here for several months, and he has brought the science and technology class well, but there are actually very few science and technology theories in this era, and there are no courses in the science and technology class, and the rest depends on how those students continue to develop the theory in their work.

Liu Min himself is also a teacher of science and technology classes, he put forward some knowledge in later generations, for students to think, such as heliocentrism, gravity, three-dimensional geometry, steam power, etc., Wang Zheng has a wide range of knowledge, is also very good at learning, and Liu Min has discussed a few times, Liu Min is quite admired, very surprised that Wendeng can produce such a person. However, Wang Zheng does not regard all new scientific theories as evil and foreign ways, even if he still adheres to the geocentric theory, which embodies an inclusive scientific spirit.

So Liu Minyou felt that he should still send it, and asked the place at the moment, and it turned out to be an inn outside the east gate of Wendeng County.

After another ride, when he arrived at the inn, Wang Zheng was already at the door and was ready to go, he greeted him and said, "I thought Mr. Liu was not there, and he was about to set off." ”

After Liu Minyou dismounted, he knelt down according to officialdom etiquette, and then got up and said: "I still can't keep the adult, so I have to wish the adult a safe journey." ”

Wang Zheng's face was stern: "The governor and Chen Xin's affairs, the official has heard about it, justice is in the hearts of the people, Chen Xin does things like this, and acts recklessly, the official must stand on the side of the governor, and he will be impeached when he returns to Dengzhou." ”

Liu Min was stunned for a moment, and persuaded in a low voice: "Are you biased, I don't know what the adults want to impeach Chen Xin?" ”

Wang Zheng was stunned, he had been in Wendeng for more than half a year, most of the time was engaged in machinery and teaching, and he was always arranged by Chen Xin in the three guards, and he had never even been to the camp of Wendeng's old camp, he just subconsciously wanted to stand on Sun Yuanhua's side.

"I know the governor, I have always been a person of flawless conduct, and this official can know right and wrong without asking."

Liu Min was a little speechless, but now the situation in Dengzhou is very complicated, mixed with the prison army and the Qincha, and the background of the imperial court struggle and the battle of the Daling River, how can Wang Zheng be a scholar who can influence, not to mention that there are people from the Intelligence Bureau over there.

He was about to persuade Wang Zheng, Wang Zheng's wrinkled face smiled with secret folds, "Except for Nawufu, this official admires Mr. Liu and those students very much, these days than Yangzhou has more appetite for the old man, today I sent someone to invite Mr., one is to say goodbye, and the other is to tell Mr. that those students will still have to take the test in the future, and the old man will naturally help ...... at that time."

Wang Zheng spoke earnestly to Liu Minyou for nearly a quarter of an hour, to the effect that he hoped that those students would take the right path and not just be a craftsman, and finally after speaking, he took out a booklet for Liu Minyou, Liu Minyou took a look at it, and wrote "Continuing the Strange Instrument Diagram of the Far West"

"This book is written by the old man in Wendeng, all of which are derived from the whimsy of those students, and some of the things that Mr. Liu said, there is no way to give it away, only to give this book to Mr. Liu, in the future, Mr. Liu will come to Dengzhou, remember to come to the old man's house as a guest, if it is with that Wufu, the old man will not receive it."

After he finished speaking, he got into the carriage, and the other servants and scholars got on a few oxen and horse-drawn carts, and went to the avenue in the direction of Dengzhou under the escort of several personal soldiers!!
