Xu Liuzhou came back again, but did not bring back any good news, and Zhao Ziliu, the commander of Mianzhou Prefecture, was still reluctant to let the refugees outside the city gate into the city. This year's harvest is not good, there are some victims in various places, and there are also in Mianzhou City, but Zhao Ziliu has made all the arrangements, which is enough for those victims to support the new rice harvest next year.

The victims outside the city are not under her jurisdiction, and if they are allowed to enter the city, it will not only increase the burden on Mianzhou City, but also bring the hidden danger of epidemic diseases to the people in the city. What's more, her plans are under review, and letting them in would only be thankless.

Xu Han stood in front of Xu Liuzhou for a long time and did not speak.

After she entered Mianzhou City, the people in the city lived and worked in peace and contentment, which shows that Zhao Ziliu does have the ability to govern, and for those refugees outside the city gate, she will indeed send some food every day, and she is not completely abandoned.

She really can't find fault with this approach.

"Mother, if I let those refugees set up camps five hundred miles outside the city, will Lord Zhao agree? If the wasteland outside the city was allocated to them for farming, would Lord Zhao agree? If those refugees no longer gather at the city gate every day to make trouble, will Lord Zhao let them into the city to trade? It was a long time before she asked three questions.

Xu Liuzhou was stunned when he heard this, five hundred miles outside the city is a mountain col, and it is good to settle those people, but there are often big insects there, and it is not far from the city gate, so very few people will settle there.

"This matter ......," she pondered, thinking that there was still a chance for this matter.

"I'll figure out everything it costs." Xu Han added.

Xu Liuzhou's thick eyebrows furrowed, and he glared at her: "Do you want to find a way?" What can you come up with? ”

Xu Han took a deep breath and spread his hands: "That piece of land is very good, can you give me the title deed of that land?" Cheaper, the sooner the better. ”

Her cheap lady looked at her suspiciously, not knowing what medicine she was selling in her gourd.

"I'll do it."

But in one day, Xu Liuzhou really got Zhao Ziliu done, since the land was used to resettle refugees, even if it was given to her for free, and the follow-up resettlement costs, Zhao Ziliu donated 100,000 taels of silver in his personal name. The 100,000 taels of silver used to buy winter clothes and food may be just a drizzle, but for the refugees at this time, it is a generous gift.

With the cash, Xu Han immediately brought out sixty soldiers from Xu Liuzhou's men.

She also borrowed a gentleman from Xu Liuzhou who was in charge of the accounts, and the first thing she did was to register the 100,000 taels of silver donated by Zhao Ziliu, and also made a plaque, and selected a few older people from the refugees to send the plaque to Zhao's mansion. Because when sending the plaque, Xu Han specially invited someone to beat the gong and drum and swagger all the way, so the matter of sending the plaque spread throughout Mianzhou City in less than half a day.

At first, Xu Liuzhou didn't understand the meaning of her daughter's approach, but it wasn't until the next day that she came to the resettlement site outside the city gate and saw the long line of donors, and she understood.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't worry, clothing and food, and money are donated separately, clothing is here, food is in the middle, and money is on the far right." Xu Han stood on a high place with a roll made of cardboard and shouted loudly to those who came to donate. At the bottom is the place where the three types of donations are collected, and the bookkeeper collects money, no matter what kind of goods are donated, whether they are large or small, and they are all recorded in detail.

The people who collected the clothes and food were the scholars who had been selected from among the refugees, and they had been washed and changed into a set of clothes, and apart from the fact that they were yellow and thin, it was not obvious that they had fled here.

"That's Xu Han's niece, right?" Xu Liuzhou was stunned when a voice came from beside him. She didn't need to turn her head, she knew that it was Zhao Ziliu. "There is a woman like this, my brother-in-law should be smiling at Jiuquan."

Xu Liuzhou's eyes darkened, and everyone said that Miss Xu was a useless woman who couldn't support the façade, but now, when everyone had nothing to do with the refugees, it was her precious daughter who tried her best to settle down.

Collecting goods, money and food, leading the refugees to build houses together, a lively scene outside the barren Mianzhou city was all made by her.

Xu Liuzhou looked at it for a long time before muttering a sentence: "Don't worry about your true heart, your children and grandchildren will have their own children and grandchildren." ”

She said very quietly, but Zhao Ziliu still heard it clearly, and she shook her head with a smile: "Sister Xu can read this sentence now." ”

The two were talking, when they were suddenly interrupted by a loud bang on the other side, and following the reputation, it turned out to be a stout reckless woman carrying a trunk the size of two people hugging.

I heard the woman say in a rough voice, "This is a tree in my backyard, and it is perfect for building a house." ”

Xu Han stared at the tree for a long time before muttering: "I thought I was dreaming, it turns out that there is really such a cow woman!" ”

She had the woman's name registered as well, and such a tree was not afraid of insects, and was indeed very suitable for a house. With her beginning, the materials used to build the house began to be donated in a steady stream.

Fortunately, the weather was fine in the past few days, and Xu Han sent all the people who had strength to build houses, and the weaker people were assigned to cooking and other lighter things. Now they have donated enough rice to feed them for several days.

Li Tian of Lijia Village donated a string of copper coins, six catties of clothes, and three catties of flour. Under the Banyan Tree, Shen Damei donated ......"

Mr. Keeper is a scholar with very delicate eyebrows and eyes, weak in writing, but in an orderly manner. Xu Han handed over the settlement of the accounts to her, very relieved.

In the past few days, she has been busy and busy, and she has to prepare small gifts for those who donate things, and she has given this to the children of the refugees.

"Little sister, is this picture I painted good?" A small figure came to Xu Han with a three- or four-inch piece of paper in his hand, and was very excited to put the picture he had just drawn in front of her.

Xu Han looked at it and saw that there were large and small fingers painted with colored handprints on the paper, and the picture was very beautiful, but there was still something missing.

She smiled and took the seven-year-old child into her arms, and said to her with a smile: "Little Jin has painted beautifully, now we are going to add something to these handprints and make them a magical painting." ”

Seeing her sit down, the children next to her swarmed around, and the children who were still chattering endlessly just now suddenly quieted down, and looked at the drawing paper with wide eyes.

I saw Xu Han grabbing her weak and boneless hand, picking up a small calligraphy brush, and carefully teaching her to draw on each handprint.

"Wow! It's chicks! One of the children shouted loudly, glaring at a handprint that had just been completed.

"Shh An older child next to her hurriedly gestured to her to silence her.

Xu Han grabbed Xiao Jin's hand and continued to draw the remaining handprints. It didn't take long for all the handprints to be added, and a vivid painting was unfolded.

"What a picture of a chick foraging!" Suddenly there was a sound of admiration behind him.
