After dozens of days and nights of life and death, Liu Chengjin's thinking is very different from before, and he is the only one who survives his mother-in-law and children's family of more than a dozen people. Up to now, all the promotions and fortunes have been left behind, and his only hope now is to survive in this troubled world where he doesn't know where tomorrow will be, and of course, his fathers and fellow villagers who can trust him.

Master Guo said two interesting things in a row, but he didn't continue to explain, and Liu Chengjin, who was holding back, was in a hurry.

"What is General Li's idea, Master Guo, you should give me a look!"

Often when things are the most uncertain, the parties are most likely to suffer from gains and losses, and this is the case with Liu Chengjin now, since Li Xin promised to take them in, why didn't he send someone to manage them, but instead said something to let them take care of themselves. What does this self-care mean? I don't want to care about them, let them fend for themselves or something. Now his heart is like playing a bucket, up and down.

And he is not the only one who has this view, and a sense of unease among the refugees is already faintly fermenting.

Master Guo was still rubbing his goatee, and Liu said that Jin was in a hurry.

"Master Guo, if you brush it again, your beard will be wiped out......"

"My old man can't figure it out, looking at what General Li did, he doesn't look like a fool, he shouldn't be stupid enough to dig a pit for himself and stumble."

He saw that Liu Jincheng's face was full of disappointment, and hurriedly added: "Then again, as long as he gives us food, wouldn't it be better to take care of himself?" It's up to us to decide everything! ”

Liu Jincheng smacked his lips, thinking about it, his own family is in charge of his own family, and he is the most convenient and powerful.

Master Guo suddenly thought of the most critical question, that is, since General Li had divided nearly 20,000 refugees into 20,000 camps, could there be candidates for these 10,000 commanders and 10,000 commanders? After he said this, Liu Chengjin shook his head, "It was a green-robed official who came that day, and he only said that the charter would be set soon, but there was no movement for a few days. ”

Liu Chengjin obviously regarded Master Guo as a person who discussed the affairs of his confidants, and said a lot of hidden worries in his heart, but Master Guo immediately changed into an old god.

"As expected, the commander should be sent by the General Military Administration, and the commander of this faction has a black eye, and if he wants to obey the management of the people, he must not rely on those of us who are familiar with the situation, Liu Zhutou, you have some popularity in our wave of people, who else can he go to if he doesn't come to you, and when the time comes, he will always strive for some benefits for our people!"

Liu Chengjin was still up and down in his heart, and he always felt that it would not be so simple, so he nodded indiscriminately, saying that if he could be relied on by the captain of Wan, he would try his best to fight for everyone anyway. Although there is now a place to settle down and food is also supplied, the living conditions are still extremely poor.

They lived in makeshift military tents, and the difference between cold and warm day and night was huge, and people could freeze to death at night. Moreover, in terms of food supply, the General Military Office did not give a clear amount of ration share, but it seemed to do whatever you wanted.

Master Guo continued to analyze the Tao with his head in mind.

"How can you get a thousand-captain with the hope of Liu Zhutou, and our gang of people can have a hope."

Liu Chengjin shook his head, "Didn't the General Military Mansion have a notice to let us take care of ourselves, I heard that it was for the big guy to nominate him!" ”

Listening to Liu Chengjin's conjecture, Master Guo scoffed.

"How is it possible, let the big guy elect by himself is equivalent to giving the handle of the knife to someone, the so-called self-care is at most to let us farm by ourselves and be self-sufficient!"

This statement is also very reliable, Liu Chengjin feels that it is not unreasonable, it is now the end of February, the river is open, the land is thawed, and it seems that it is about to come to the time when everything recovers, and it is a good time to prepare for spring ploughing in the next month, which is a good time for Tuntian.

Thinking of this, Liu Chengjin couldn't help but feel a little excited, he was finally going to end the previous days of displacement, only by cultivating the land and sowing the seeds would he have a sense of security in his heart.

He can't go back to the past days, and that small county town has long become a sad place for him, maybe it's a good choice to spend the rest of his life here.

"Food, food......"

Suddenly there was a commotion outside, and it was the sound of people shouting excitedly.

Master Guo and Liu Chengjin were extremely sensitive to the word grain, and when they heard the noisy distribution of food outside, they all jumped up and ran outside the tent.

Their camp was on the south bank of the Yan River, west of the Acropolis, separated from the Yan River checkpoint to the northeast by a tributary that flows into the Yan River. I saw that the crowds were crowding in the direction of the Yanhe checkpoint.

The refugees nearby were all Liu Chengjin's fellow villagers, and when they saw Liu Chengjin coming out, they seemed to be unhurried, so they all asked him:

"Liu Zhutou, the food has been distributed, why are you not in a hurry, you can't grab the food when you go late, and you're going hungry."

The man was not talking nonsense, this was indeed the case when the first time the food was distributed, and the part of the people who went late was barely able to survive with the help of everyone. To be honest, Liu Chengjin is very unimpressed with the general military government's way of providing relief.

Among the refugees, many people have no plan, and they will squander the food in a few days, and if it is cooked by the government, it will be distributed uniformly when the food is eaten, so that the Lang fee will be prevented to the greatest extent and will last.

However, if he is not in his position and does not seek his own government, maybe the General Military Government has its own plans, and how can he, a disaster victim who depends on others, have the qualifications to put his beak.

After a lot of effort, Liu Chengjin pulled Master Guo and finally squeezed to the front of the crowd, and it was really someone from the General Soldier's Mansion, only to see that the long table had been placed on a slippery line, with a pile of thick paper on it, but I didn't see half a bag of grain.

It was the blue-robed official who spoke in public that day, and the two of them had just squeezed to the front, and the speech had come to an end, when he waved his hand, and immediately a soap officer from the yamen came forward, holding a pile of paper and stacking it neatly on the table.

"Paid!"

With the sound of shouting, people were driven by the soldiers and lined up in more than a dozen lines to receive them one by one. Liu Chengjin was arranged to the first position in the third row of the left hand, and was asked to show the identity card issued before, and then the paper in his hand turned out to be four pieces of fine mulberry paper, he knew a few words, only to see that there were five catties of ration written on it, and then looked at the other three sheets were the same as ten catties.

He was about to ask what was going on, but he was driven away by the impatient soldiers and left the leader. However, the green-robed official seemed to notice Liu Chengjin's dazed face, and personally called him over.

"Is there anything you don't understand, brother?"

Liu Chengjin knew that he was the official in charge, and he was not polite, and said bluntly: "The villain doesn't understand, how can a few pieces of mulberry paper get thirty-five catties of grain?" ”

The Qingpao official was Yang Hewei Zhen Fu Mao Wei Zhang, who was entrusted by Li Xin with the important task of pacifying the victims, and he couldn't help but be slightly surprised to hear that he knew that the food stamps were written on mulberry paper. Mulberry paper is the printing paper of the Ming treasure banknote, but the Ming treasure banknote was abolished as early as the Zhengde period, but this mulberry paper is the best credit voucher paper. Being able to read mulberry paper means that this person should have some knowledge.

"This official Shicai has made it very clear that from today onwards, 20,000 battalions will supply food on a monthly basis, and each of them will be registered and distributed 35 catties of rations per month according to the registration of the General Military Office.

Liu said that General Jin was suspicious, "Is it okay to go now?" ”

Mao Weizhang said with a smile: "With these two tickets, there is no time limit, see the ticket and redeem it!" ”

Liu Chengjin found that the so-called two votes were still uncounted, so he asked again: "This vote is not counted, if someone collects it and collects it, what should it do?" ”

Mao Wei, who heard this, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again: "The food stamp system is now in the trial stage, and there is an upper limit of fifty catties per person per month. ”

Many people nearby listened to the conversation between the two with their ears open, and the people were afraid that few officials would dare to ask questions as unscrupulously as Liu Chengjin, so they all hoped that he would ask more. But who knew that after Liu Chengjin asked these questions, he saluted the green-robed official and returned to the crowd.

Master Guo, who was in the back, was also holding four pieces of mulberry paper with a blank face, and found Liu Chengjin to discuss the matter, but he didn't have the courage of Liu Chengjin to talk to the green-robed official in public.

"How?" As he spoke, he weighed a few pieces of paper in his hand.

"What else, go, go with food!"

As soon as Liu Chengjin's words came out, he immediately received a response from everyone who had already received food stamps. So a cadre hugged Liu Chengjin, and they prepared to cross the river to redeem huàn grain. They didn't dare to do the leading thing, but since Liu Chengjin came forward to take the lead, everyone naturally supported it.

"Let's go! Pick up the food! Pick up the food! ”

Some people shouted excitedly, and more people knew that the big guy was asking for food, and hundreds of people waded across the river and went straight to the checkpoint warehouse. Since the establishment of the Yanhe checkpoint, countless Jin merchants' goods have been confiscated, mostly grain pig iron and salt, and in order to save transportation costs, Li Xin specially ordered the construction of a warehouse at the Yanhe checkpoint, and the goods intercepted were hoarded here.

Mao Weizhang quickly noticed the leader Liu Chengjin, who had asked a few words that impressed him deeply, when the food stamp system was designated, Li Xin had set a limit of fifty catties for this kind of problem, and the way of not counting names. He instructed the soap officer beside him: "Go and find out who is the name of the victim who spoke to the official just now." ”

After a while, Soo Li took the name book, turned a few pages and pointed to a line of words: "This person's name is Liu Chengjin, he used to be a catcher in Hongdong County, and his family died in the plague......"
