In Hewan Village, he cut down more than 90 Tartar heads, fifty taels each, and made up a whole number, a total of five thousand taels, and Wanli rewarded twenty-five thousand taels of silver from the inside, adding up to a total of thirty thousand taels of silver.

In fact, Zhang Ke made military exploits, and offered a wonderful strategy to make money, Wanli wanted to reward more, but he was really not rich as an emperor, don't look at the world's mining supervisors and tax supervisors, but the three major levies are bottomless pits of spending money, how much silver has been added to the hole, and now Liaodong spends money like flowing water, and it is really not much.

30,000 taels is not a small amount for Zhang Ke, he originally wanted to make money by suppressing bandits, but with this silver, it seems that he can last for a while......

"My lord, take a look, two more groups of people are coming, what can you do?" Tang Bi hurriedly ran over, beads of sweat on his head.

Zhang Ke was also a little surprised, and hurriedly asked: "Lord Tang, what are the common people doing when they give up their families and careers to come to Daqing Fort?" ”

"This ...... They all say that the Lord is benevolent and loves the people, and is a rare good official, and they are willing to take refuge in you, please take them in! ”

Zhang Ke frowned, to say that he is not like other officials, who regard the common people as a burden, but it also depends on the bearing capacity of Daqing Fort! In the three days before and after, there were five or six waves of people who came to Daqing Fort, adding up to four or five hundred people, and the burden was not light!

However, Zhang Ke couldn't ignore it, he thought for a while and asked: "Lord Tang, just now the imperial court rewarded 30,000 taels of silver, and it should be almost enough to help the people, how much silver do you calculate?" ”

Tang Bi hurriedly shook his head: "My lord, you are willing to spend money and admire your duties, but now you can't just have silver, we have nowhere to buy food!" ”

"How come, can't you spend money if you have it?"

Tang Bi suddenly said with a sad face: "My lord, in order to settle the more than 1,000 people in Hewan Village, we have already bought all the grain in Yizhou, and these days you have asked you to buy meat, and the pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks within a radius of thirty or forty miles have almost been bought." It's just the New Year again, and the businessmen of previous years have to transport grain from the customs after the first month, and there is a gap of more than 20 days. ”

Zhang Ke was also dumbfounded at this moment, Tang Bi peeked at Zhang Ke, and said tentatively: "My lord, just drive these people away according to your humble duties, who knows how they came, I think it's purely to cause chaos for adults." ”

"No!" Zhang Ke hurriedly waved his hand: "Lord Tang, if you want to do things, you have to be people-oriented, you follow me out of the city to see the people." ”

Tang Bi secretly smiled bitterly, in the end, he is a young man, and he likes to be famous! Just look at it, and when you see so many people, you will know that it is difficult!

Tang Bi shook his head and followed Zhang Ke out of Daqing Fort.

Just outside the east gate, a large row of sheds was temporarily erected, more than a dozen iron pots were boiling thick millet porridge, Aunt Qiao led a group of women to work, and Ma Rufeng led a team of soldiers to maintain order.

Looking further away, Zhang Ke's blood pressure suddenly increased, and he was dazed.

It turned out that a large number of people had gathered inside and outside the shed, and they couldn't see the end at a glance, and the black pressure was everywhere, and many people brought their families to help the old and the young.

It is definitely a great thing to have ordinary people come to take refuge, but it is too bad at this time, it is difficult enough for the poor Daqing Fort to carry a Hewan Village, and so many people have come, isn't it fatal!

Tang Bi saw Zhang Ke's bitter face, and secretly asked in a low voice: "My lord, you have also seen it, our food stocks can only last until February." After saving them, what should we do, not to mention that there are people coming around, and it will be even more difficult to do it when the time comes! ”

Zhang Ke had a calm face and didn't speak, he hurried to the front of the cauldron where the porridge was boiling.

"Aunt Qiao, prepare 2o bowls of porridge for me!"

"Okay!"

Aunt Qiao moved quickly, and quickly filled the porridge, Zhang Ke waved his hand again and called Ma Rufeng over.

"You go and choose a few people to come over, remember, pick those who are honest, it's better to be stupid and bring them over, I want to ask."

"Big, big, my lord, I heard you right, you want to ask a few shrewd people to come over, why do you want to get a bunch of people who can't even understand what to say!"

Zhang Ke glared and said, "Where is the nonsense, just do it!" ”

Ma Rufeng had no choice but to nod, and sure enough, it didn't take long for more than a dozen people to be brought. Zhang Ke looked at it, and sure enough, they were all dumbfounded, looking honest and honest.

Zhang Ke casually picked up a bowl of thick millet porridge and said with a smile: "Everyone come and get the porridge." ”

And they did the same, and took the bowl of porridge, and began to eat it. My ears were full of the sound of drinking porridge.

There is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, the left side of his face is fine, but there is a large scar on the right side of his face, and his facial features are curled up, and he looks so hideous!

"What's your name?"

"Wolves, wolf leftovers."

"I've heard of the dog leftover, but I haven't heard of the wolf leftover, why do you call it that?"

The young man blinked, and suddenly cringed and asked, "Can you give me another bowl, I'll tell you." ”

Zhang Ke couldn't help laughing: "I also guessed the scar on your face, do you think the porridge is delicious?" ”

The wolf leftover scratched his head and suddenly said, "It's not delicious." ”

Tang Bi frowned suddenly on the side, and said angrily: "Boy, this is a good millet boiled, you may not be able to eat it on Chinese New Year's Eve, you still don't like it, do you want to give you a banquet?" ”

"Then, that ......" the wolf leftover muttered for a long time, and said, "Why is there no meat to eat?" Master Zhang slammed the door and didn't give me meat to eat, he was a bad guy! ”

"You dare to scold Lord Zhang, look for death!" Ma Rufeng was about to hit with his fist, but Zhang Ke hurriedly stopped him.

"Wolf leftovers, it's not difficult if you want to eat meat, you have to sue me first, who told you that there is meat to eat in Daqing Fort?"

"Yes...... No, don't let me say it! The wolf leftover shook his head resolutely.

Zhang Ke frowned, they have all passed the New Year, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, before the fifteenth day of the first month, the creditor does not want to pay, and the yamen does not take people. And I haven't heard of a war, why a lot of refugees came, it's really strange!

"Go, get a bowl of braised pork!"

"Yes!"

Not long after, someone came over with a meat bowl, the red and bright pork belly was mellow, and the eyes of the wolf leftovers were straight.

"Say it, I'll give you meat to eat!"

The wolf leftover frowned, and said suspiciously: "No, I clearly told sù that I didn't say that there was meat to eat, how did it become that I said that there was meat to eat!" ”

Zhang Ke looked at the confused appearance of the wolf leftover, smiled and picked up a piece of trembling fat meat, and said with a smile: "Say it, if you don't say it, you won't eat it." ”

"I said!" The wolf leftover swallowed his saliva with difficulty: "It was Elder A who sued me, saying that if you go to Daqing Fort, you will have a house to live in, clothes to wear, and meat to eat, and everyone will return it, and ...... it."

The wolf remnant tugged at his head in pain, he couldn't think of anything else good. But Zhang Ke and Tang Bi glanced at each other, and both of them felt strange.

"Lord Tang, you go to investigate immediately and ask me what is going on with these refugees!"

Tang Bi hurriedly turned around, and after a full hour, Tang Bi finally ran over out of breath, so angry that his facial features were distorted.

"My lord, I have asked about my humble position, and more than ninety percent of the people have been deceived by officials."

"What?" Ma Rufeng asked in surprise: "Is there any benefit for the officials to deceive the people to us?" ”

Tang Bi smiled bitterly: "How can it be no good, at least they are not in trouble, and they can still watch our jokes!" ”

……

Zhang Ke finally figured out why so many refugees came back, and the original guards of several nearby forts told the people under them how good the Daqing Fort was, how generous the newly appointed Lord Zhang was, and gave the people under his command silver and fat!

Many people still didn't believe their foolishness, but at this time, some relatives and friends of Daqing Fort said that Zhang Ke was good, and they were immediately convinced.

After Chinese New Year's Eve, the family had eaten all the food, and many poor people came to Daqing Fort in groups. Even if he didn't want to come, he couldn't resist the coercion and temptation of being an official, and as a result, in just a few days, hundreds of refugees gathered in Daqing Fort.

Tang Bi gritted his teeth and said: "Villains, all of them are villains, and Daqing Fort is not a temple!" It's also the preparation of one side, they don't take good care of their people, how can they push on us, it's unreasonable! My lord, I will go to Zhenyi Fort, Dajing Fort, Wazi Valley, and Hua'er Camp. Ask them whose idea it was! ”

Tang Bi was so angry that he turned around to leave, but Zhang Ke said in a low voice: "Lord Tang, wait a minute!" ”

"My lord, I can't let them go, these people are encouraging the people to come over, obviously they want to consume our hungry supplies, if the adults drive the people away, it will hurt the reputation of the adults, it is simply sinister!"

"Hahaha, they want to calculate me Zhang Ke, that's the wrong Buddha hall and burn the wrong incense!"

Zhang Ke suddenly stood up as he spoke, and said loudly: "Everyone listen, there are guests from afar, and the villagers have worked hard all the way." Hurry up and kill a few pigs, I'm going to treat the big guys well! ”

Tang Bi and Ma Rufeng looked at each other, they didn't know what Zhang Ke was doing, it would be good to give some porridge, but if they really gave meat to eat, weren't they afraid that these people would stick to it and not be able to get rid of it?

They were full of questions, but they couldn't stand Zhang Ke's order, so they could only arrange it.

Seeing the evening, the smell of meat in the east of the city was fragrant, and the refugees who gathered were drooling, and many of them even lay on the ground and kowtowed.

"Lord Zhang is merciful, Lord Zhang is righteous, and the little ones thank Lord Zhang for his kindness!"

Zhang Ke walked in the crowd with a smile, enjoying the worship of the people.

"We are all blind dates, and I, Zhang Ke, will naturally not treat you badly. To tell you the truth, Daqing Fort has grain, as well as fat pigs, cattle and sheep, which is enough for you to eat! ”

"Thank you, sir!" The gang's eyes lit up with excitement.

"But ......" Zhang Ke deliberately lengthened his voice and said with a smile: "Although I have eaten, but it is freezing this day, I can't build a house, I can't let the big guy sleep outside, if I freeze you to death, I will also feel distressed!" In this way, I have an idea, after eating this meal, I will send the soldiers of Daqing Fort to send the big guys home first, and then you will put the supplies one by one, what do you think? ”
