As soon as he heard the mention of Lei Zhanbiao, Elder Liu's eyes were cold, and he said: "The person surnamed Lei killed our messenger, and he obviously didn't take my religion in his eyes, such a fanatic, he should be removed, why should he have anything to do with him?" ”

Elder Qi sneered, "Except for him, you have to get rid of him, but you don't have to rush at this time. After he came to Jinan to kill and slash, let's stand up again and destroy Lei Zhanbiao, when the time comes, the people will only say that we are good, and then give them swords, guns and equipment, so that they can raise troops to rebel against the puppet dynasty, and great things can be done. ”

Elder Liu nodded repeatedly. Elder Qi said again: "In addition, all the things Liu Cai has done over the years are going to lose his head. And this deputy envoy Hai Rui is a guy with a lot of muscles. If they fight hard, our Holy Sect will benefit from it, and it will be even more powerful. ”

Wang Xuan had always been afraid of these two elders, but seeing that they had already discussed the results, he had to squat aside and say, "You have all discussed, then do what you say, anyway, no one listens to what I say, you can do whatever you want." ”

Elder Qi patted Wang Xuan on the shoulder and said, "Wang Zuo, you don't have to be so discouraged. Now that the four major families have followed Yan Hong to provide food for disaster relief, don't lag behind. When he turned around, he first sent 10,000 stone of grain to Yan Hong, and then opened a few more porridge sheds to get grain at a low price, so as not to worry him. ”

So on the third day, following the four major families, Wang Xuanwang Bancheng also began to eat rice at a low price, as for the porridge shed, Wang Xuan was originally open, and Qin Cha came and stopped for two days, and now it is on fire again. Wang Xuan set an example, and in the afternoon, more than a dozen other wealthy people in Jinan City also came to Xingyuan to pledge donations, and the big ones donated 800 stones. The small one donated thirty or fifty stones.

Yan Hong praised them a lot, so that they didn't have to open a porridge shed, they sent the grain to the porridge shed that was now run by the government, and then sent one or two people to help, and the porridge shed also played the banner of their family. In this way, the whole city of Jinan showed a touching scene of "all the wealthy families closely united around Qincha and worked together to help the victims", and people's hearts were further stabilized.

Yan Hong had a lot of food in his hands, and he estimated that it would not be a problem to survive the famine, so he used his brains again. Dusk of the same day. So he recruited 500 old ladies from among the victims. Let them wear hoops made of red cloth on their hands to maintain order everywhere and persuade the victims. Those involved in this work will receive one liter of rice per person per day. The porridge tube is full.

This was learned by him from the later municipal /// government to maintain traffic order. If it is only the official who holds a stick of fire and water. More than majesty. Lack of flexibility. Now recruiting these 500 old ladies is a combination of soft and hard, and the other is to make the victims more hopeful. I will no longer think about holding up a group and going against the government.

Later, Yan Hong recruited 500 children between the ages of eight and twelve and taught them to sing a "long live song". This song was compiled by him in the tune of "School Song" before the crossing:

When the sun shines in the sky, everyone laughs. Hungry, hurry up and run, the porridge is already boiling in Jinan City.

The emperor's kindness arrived, and everyone was full. Long live Xie, long live Xie, the peaceful and prosperous era is in the Ming Dynasty.

All the children who participated were still wearing red hoops, and each person had one liter of rice per day, and the porridge was enough. So the whole city is full of this flattering nursery rhyme. Even those children who were not recruited also sang along, and even adults found this ballad strange and interesting, and sang along. Within a few days, the inside and outside of Jinan City were full of long live songs with the tune of "Bombing the School".

Then Yan Hong recruited another thousand women to help in the porridge sheds. His recruitment is diametrically opposed to the White Lotus Sect's selection of immortal concubines, requiring those who are rough-handed, ugly-looking, and capable of working. The reward is also enough for porridge tubes, one liter of rice. These 1,000 women wore red hoops into the porridge shed, which greatly reduced the manpower burden on public servants.

Yan Hong's tricks actually refer to the modern management he understands, giving the people at the bottom a thought. Recruiting these 2,000 people will not only help in terms of public opinion and order, but also show the refugees that even if some of them are selected by the Qincha and live a good life, the others will trust the Qincha more and hope that they can have such good luck. He only recruited 2,000 people, but the minds of hundreds of thousands of people were mobilized.

The reason why only old ladies, children, and ugly women were recruited was because Yan Hong was afraid that they would be mixed with the White Lotus Sect. As for the cost of recruiting these people, it is only a few tens of stone meters a day, and for Yan Hong today, it is a drop in the bucket at all.

In addition, Yan Hong allocated food every day and continued to distribute rice to the victims, three spoonfuls for adults, two spoonfuls for the elderly and young children, and one spoonful for infants. And let people tell that in a few days, the Qincha will also send out silver, so that everyone can buy rice to do the famine. At this moment, the victims of the disaster were even more at ease, waiting for the imperial court to save their lives.

After another three or two days, more than a hundred carts came from outside the city, and the carts were full of grain. If it had been a few days earlier, so much food, I am afraid that it would have been targeted, maybe the refugees would have rushed forward to grab it. But nowadays, it's not very noticeable. After all, the official family distributed rice and grain, and there was porridge to drink, and everyone was not worried about starving to death now, anyway, there was only one stomach, and these foreign grains were no longer as expensive as before. Besides, these days, the team that carries grain from inside and outside the city has to pass by from time to time, who is patient to count them one by one?

But the people in the ambulance are quite eye-catching. Along the way, in addition to the laborers who pushed the cart and the head of the cattle, there were also some archers and officials from other counties. In addition to this, there are more than a dozen people, clearly different. Each of them was dressed in strong suits, equipped with swords and swords, and their steps were strong and powerful, and they seemed to be armed with martial arts.

The first one, less than thirty years old, is of medium stature, with a face like a crown of jade, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose and a wide mouth, a slight short beard under the chin, a handsome appearance, and a little heroic, and a dark light in his eyes. He wore a square scarf on his head and a plain shirt, although he had walked a long way, he was actually spotless. Holding a folding fan in his hand, gently shaking it in his hand, the fan surface is unfolded, and the dragon and phoenix dance on it are used to write a Yueyang Lou record.

According to his dress, he seems to be a scholar and student who travels all over the world. However, with a three-foot long sword hanging from his waist, he looked at the world with the demeanor and temperament of the proud king and grandson, and seemed to be a pillar of the famous ministers who pointed out the country. The onlookers all believed that this must be the son of a famous courtier, who was full of learning and Confucianism, and was definitely not a vulgar martial artist.

Beside him, a woman walked beside him. The woman was petite and graceful, and wore a drapery on her head, which hung down to her chest; Although the curtain is divided into two parts, so that it is easy to eat and drink, the gauze curtain is heavy and overlapped, and the lines are not moving, and it seems that there are as many as three or four layers, and the face cannot be seen clearly.

She was wearing a pale green gown, a pale green armor, a long aqua green skirt lined with silk of the same color, and a pair of white satin boots. It's just that between the walks, the body is slightly frustrated, and it is easy for a discerning person to see that this woman's right foot is not very convenient and is a cripple.

Seeing her and the handsome scholar walking back and forth, in an intimate form, it is clear that they are a couple or even a husband and wife, and people can't help but sigh secretly. How could such a handsome person as a scholar marry a disabled wife?

In the middle of the procession, there are two god-like men. They are tall and large, and they are very conspicuous in the crowd. One carried a bronze lance on his shoulder, and the other carried a sky-shaking hammer. The people of Shandong are martial arts, and the people are not afraid of them, but they just secretly praise them: "What two heroes!" ”

The most rear-guarded team are two women, one purple and one green. Like the woman in front of her, she couldn't see her face clearly with a hat on her head, but if she was close, she could smell the faint fragrance on their bodies. The rest of the people are also strange in appearance, with military blades, demeanor and temperament, and are not ordinary people.

This group of people approached the city, which inevitably attracted the attention of the people, and those who had that good thing pointed and talked about it on both sides. Not to mention, this team of people is also quite surprised to see the situation in Jinan.

I saw that the porridge shacks in the government were lined up in an orderly manner, and the people received the porridge in order, and there was no crowding and trampling, and no one complained. In the porridge shed, there are some middle-aged women in ragged clothes, wearing red hoops helping to add rice and firewood, although they are busy and sweating profusely, but their faces are red and smiling.

There are also some old ladies who wear red hoops to maintain order in the middle of the team, pity the weak and reprimand the strong. Some of them wanted to crowd with their strong bodies, but they were drunk by the old lady, and they immediately resigned themselves and lined up obediently. Suddenly, a group of children ran over, happily, singing the ballad of "Long live Xie, long live Xie, the peaceful and prosperous era is in the Ming Dynasty".

These people who came with food couldn't help but look at each other. The scholar at the head was curious, so he asked an old man on the side of the road: "Uncle, when I came to Jinan City a few days ago, the hungry people were waiting to be fed, but now why is it so peaceful?" Especially strange, a county town in Pingsuri relief thousands of victims, it is inevitable that you will fight for me, this hundreds of thousands of victims in Jinan, is actually orderly, I don't know what the reason is? ”

The old man smiled and said, "Little brother, you are a few days late, I don't know the situation here." Since I came to Master Yan and Master Hai, the two Qincha, the official family has a mountain of rice and grain, and there is a porridge shed in the city, but I am close to the city gate, so it is convenient to get here. In addition, there is cheap rice to buy, what else are you competing for? The few who don't follow the rules, oh, there is this old woman wearing a red circle to persuade them. and those who do not listen shall have their own servants and brocade guards and rods to tie them up. Today's Qincha, but a very good person, is dedicated to the sake of our people, and never thought of profiting from it and sucking blood, which is also the blessing of the people of Jinan. ”

Seeing the conversation between the leader scholar and the old man, the purple and green shuangshu also stepped forward from the end of the team. The girl in purple whispered: "Brother Shao, I don't think we have only been gone for a few days, and the situation has changed so much. If you know the way, you can raise more food, and you don't have to rush it. ”

The scholar smiled and said, "Sister Xia Xian, the situation is developing rapidly, which is really not something we can predict. When we left, the situation was so severe, if it was delayed for a long time, not only would many people die, but I was also afraid that the king thief would start in advance, and we would not be able to do anything. Unexpectedly, the little king of Hades turned out to be a good man, willing to think about the people, and had such means. It seems that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, each of which is different, and it is not easy to generalize. (To be continued......)
