The black smoke dispersed, a piece of ruin, but there was still a bad smell wafting in the wind, the former Chongxian county lieutenant Xu Yunfeng was a capable official, after Chongxian was broken, he did not leave the people, escaped, but led a large number of people to flee into the mountains, when the barbarians retreated, and returned from the mountain, tearfully buried the dead people, and then appeased the panicked people began to wait for a long time, in Xu Yunfeng's mind, thinking that the barbarians were gone, presumably the state city will soon have relief food and other materials to come, But what he never expected was that after the barbarians entered the Kou, the bigwigs in the state city thought about how to shirk their responsibilities, keep their official positions, and wait for everything to settle, but they were busy distributing rights, these people who were burned and plundered were waiting for a month, and the only little patience was also worn out, and the broken Chongxian County no longer had a grain of grain, a grain of rice, and even the rats were swept away, and there was a threatening atmosphere in the air, which could explode at any time, if it weren't for Xu Yunfeng's accumulation of a lot of prestige in this invasion, which has long been unable to be suppressed. Just when Xu Yunfeng also began to despair, he couldn't watch the people starve to death here, Li Qing came, he didn't say much, but just one sentence would not let Chongxian starve to death again, so Xu Yunfeng was grateful, and he couldn't wait to kneel on the ground and kowtow to him a few times, a month, although it would not make him worry about his gray hair, but the long black hair that used to be said was now mixed with a trace of whiteness.

Around the Changsheng military camp, a simple shack began to be erected, Chongxian began to have a little business, the surviving children after drinking a few bowls of porridge, and then had the strength to start laughing and playing among the shantytowns, compared to Chengren, who was still sad and sad, the children's happiness was always simple.

"My lord, it's been counted." Xu Yunfeng respectfully handed Li Qing a stack of rosters, "Chongxian originally had 20,000 households, totaling 113,158 people, after the barbarians entered the Kou, in addition to those who were killed, taken captive, or fled into the mountains, there are still more than 50,000 people left, there are about 30,000 people gathered here in the county seat, and it is estimated that there are nearly 20,000 people who are gathering here after getting the news from Sixiang Bali. It is estimated that after some time, there will be people who have received the news to go down the mountain. ”

"What? More than 50,000 people? All the people in the tent gasped, to tell the truth, the loss of Chongxian was very great, more than half of the population was lost, the property was almost all looted, and there were dead or missing people in every household, although more than a month had passed, the heart-rending sadness was in the past, but the heavy atmosphere that pressed on the entire camp could not be dissipated. But now the remaining 50,000 people have become a great burden for the Changsheng camp, and the Changsheng camp itself is still short of food, how can it feed these many people?

"My lord, we can't let these villagers gather in the county seat, there are more and more people, even if we drink porridge, we won't be able to last for many days?" Shang Haibo is heavy and authentic.

"Yes, my lord, the county town can't gather Dingkou anymore, otherwise, the food will crush us." A group of generals agreed.

Hearing everyone's words, Xu Yunfeng couldn't help but be anxious, "Ladies and gentlemen, no, if these people don't come here, they will only starve to death, here, after all, there is still a mouthful of porridge for life!" ”

Shang Haibo said: "Lord Xu, you love the people with all your fists, Haibo admires it, but more than 50,000 people, even if they drink porridge, how much food do they need a day?" In order not to starve to death, we now have to consume 100 stone of grain a day, with our current grain storage, we can only support a month, and we will run out of food in December, what should we do at that time? ”

Xu Yunfeng shook his eyes wide and said: "General, we can report to the state city in an emergency, and ask the state city to allocate food again!" ”

Li Qing and the others glanced at each other, and they all smiled bitterly, Xu Yunfeng didn't know the inside story, of course they could say so, but they knew that the state city would not give it.

"Xu County Order, I don't think we need to count on the state city for the time being."

"Why?" Xu Yunfeng opened his eyes wide and said angrily: "Chongxian is not the people of Dingzhou, isn't it the people of Dachu, Fang Zhizhou dares to sit back and watch the people of Chongxian starve to death without saving them?" Dare to ask General Li for the matter. ”

Li Qing looked at the guy in front of him with angry eyes, and said, "Lord Xu, please speak!" ”

"Please allow me to go to the state city to ask for food."

"I'm just afraid that the hard work will be fruitless, and now Chongxian is indispensable to Lord Xu!" Li Qing's words are not coquettish, Xu Yunfeng is now the blue sky in the eyes of the people of Chongxian County, the eldest man who lives his life, he said a word, much stronger than the current Li Qing, and Li Qing and others are not familiar with civil affairs, as soon as Xu Yunfeng goes, the remaining Shang Haibo is three heads and six arms, and he is too busy.

"It doesn't matter, now Chongxian County has been initially stabilized, as long as there is life food, the people will not make trouble, even if there are one or two small people, adults can easily deal with it, and the lower officials have been divided into townships and villages to divide and rule the people, there are village elders, village elders help manage them, and it is expected that there will be no chaos." Xu Yunfeng said: "The most important thing now is food, dare to ask the lord to borrow a horse from the lower official, and the lower official will set off for the state city, if Fang Zhizhou does not give me food, I will hang him in the lobby with a rope." Xu Yunfeng's eyes widened, his beard curled up one after another, and his breath was authentic.

Everyone is coriander, this Xu Yunfeng is really an official who dares to ask for the people's life, Li Qing thought for a moment, but there is no harm in Xu Yunfeng, if he can get food, no matter how much, it is good, even if he can't get it, disgusting and disgusting Fang Wenshan is not bad, look at his spirit, if Fang Wenshan really doesn't give food, this guy will really take a rope and hang himself in the Zhizhou hall, of course, Fang Wenshan can't let him succeed, otherwise this crime of forcing his subordinates to death is confirmed.

"Since Xu County's order is so sure, of course I will support it, Tang Hu, prepare a horse for Lord Xu and send two guards." Li Qing commanded.

"Thank you, sir!" Xu Yunfeng gave a salute and walked out with his head held high.

"Everyone, everyone has seen the current situation, the situation is really bad to the extreme, these people who are gathering to the county town can't stop it, let them come. Otherwise, it is very likely to provoke a civil uprising, if there is a conflict, it will be very disadvantageous to us, you must know that Chongxian is not big, and most of the people here are related to each other, and if those people are not allowed to come in, I am afraid that we will also be unstable here. ”

"But my lord, it is extremely difficult to feed these people now, and how can we support another 10,000 or 20,000 people?" Wang Qinian said hurriedly, "Now my soldiers can only eat one meal a day, and they are all so hungry that they can't do anything!" ”

Li Qingdao: "I know, this is also a matter of no choice, tell the soldiers, survive this while, everything will be fine." Our priority now is to get something to eat. ”

"Mr. Shang!"

Shang Haibo stood up.

"You are familiar with civil affairs, after you go down, organize the village elders, the village elders, and divide the people into groups, young and middle-aged, women, children and the elderly. Wang Qinian, your left flank is based on the sentinel unit, and each unit leads a group of young men from Mr. Shang to hunt in the mountains. ”

"Feng Guo, your subordinates also take the whistle as a unit, where Mr. Shang will get sturdy women and old people and children who can still do things, I don't care whether you are digging mouse holes, digging snake nests and bird nests, touching squirrel holes, or finding wild vegetables that can be eaten, in short, as long as you can eat, you can dig them back."

"Yes!" The two responded loudly.

"Remember one thing!" Li Qing said solemnly, "Tell your soldiers, everyone here is our people, our fathers, if that rules and discipline are broken, I, Li Qing, will recognize him, and the knife in my waist will not recognize him." ”

"Don't worry, sir!" Li Qing had repeatedly warned them about military discipline and the important surname of the relationship between the military and the people when they were training the troops, and at this critical juncture, if the military discipline was not strict, an army could very well degenerate into a gang of bandits, and if it had a stalemate with the common people, it would become a source of no water.

"All the harvest is not allowed to be privately hidden, and all the harvest will be handed over to the battalion headquarters and distributed by Mr. Shang." Li swept everyone's eyes.

"Jiang Kui, your department can't be idle, you have three hundred people, and you eat two meals a day."

"Ahh Everyone was taken aback, now even Li Qing is doing it all the time, how can Jiang Kui's subordinates do it twice a day. "They have something to do, and they can't do it if they don't have the strength."

Li Qing glanced at the puzzled crowd, "Your department will start to go up the mountain to cut down trees from tomorrow, and after transporting the trees back, prepare to build a house, there are not enough people, and you will go to Mr. Shang to ask for it, there are less than two months to go, and the first snow will fall, if you don't build a warm house before the snow, then you will freeze to death this winter." ”

Everyone was stunned, and then they remembered this fatal problem, they had been thinking about how not to starve to death, but now they remembered that if they didn't do it, they would freeze to death.

"Mr. Shang, after you go down, listen to the opinions of those village elders and village elders, and see if they have any way to find food?" Li Qing sat down and said a little tiredly.

"Yes, my lord, let's do it right away!" One by one, everyone withdrew.

Looking at the empty tent, Li Qing smiled to himself: "It's really poor and white, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived!" Mr. Lu, I just hope that you will bring me food back as soon as possible, otherwise this winter will be really sad! ”
