The men and horses inside and outside Dou County ran around several times, and Li Minglou got the positive news that there were no vigorous soldiers and horses coming from western Zhejiang, and there were no soldiers and horses coming from Huainan Province in Gwangju Prefecture.

Zhu Tong of the county government and military camp of Dou County received praise and encouragement from Huainan Province, the capital of Gwangju, and also reprimanded other states and counties that had caused bandits, so that they could learn from Dou County.

Other prefectures and counties reluctantly sent people to see it, and after reading it, they immediately sent the idle displaced people and refugees who fled the famine.

The weather is getting colder, and the queue in front of the porridge jar is getting more and more, and there seems to be no end to the zigzag.

Standing at the gate, he looked at the procession a little breathlessly, and then he looked ahead, and in the twilight there was a large area of houses built and under construction, as if it were another city.

A city, to be exact.

Outside these houses, walls are already being built.

Because someone ran to the county government to find Mrs. Wu to cry, when it came to this, the master thought that it was all the bad atmosphere brought up by the beard.

Xiang Qiu obviously made a mistake, but he spoke flatteringly to Mrs. Wu, and the coaxing Mrs. Wu did not blame him, but gave him gold, silver, wine and meat.

Xiang Qi took these wine and meat and did nothing, and gathered a group of people to eat, drink and have fun every day, which brought the atmosphere in the city bad, and then the idea of new arrivals was no longer to be a strong man or find a job, but racked his brains to think about how to ask Mrs. Wu for gold, silver, wine and meat.

Now everyone knows that it is faster to find Mrs. Wu Shao directly for some things, and Mrs. Wu is different from the government, so it is easy to deceive.

That person was like this, he came to cry to Mrs. Wu and told him that they lived outside the city walls and were regarded as outsiders by the people of Dou County.

"Young lady, the men and two sons of our family have gone to be the people, and one of the sons has put on a military uniform and followed General Zhu to inspect." The person who came knelt down and cried in the language of his hometown, "We are sincerely from Dou County." ”

Mrs. Wu Shao, who was shouted and begged a few times and sprinkled wine and grain, couldn't see anyone crying, and immediately asked Yuanji to find the master and say that he would build a city wall and fence off these newly built places, and Dou County would become the inner and outer city, and everyone would be the same.

Of course, Mrs. Wu will not embarrass the government: "As long as the master agrees, I will pay the money." ”

It's really a woman who grew up in the inner house, this is not to repair the wall of your own house, building the city wall has always been a big fortification, to mobilize countless people, to repair the city wall can be used for a hundred years, but not one person's financial resources can provide.

Mrs. Wu Shao gave him another idea for the woman in the house: "There is no need to build a real city wall, the height can block people, and the soil is stronger, mainly to let the people know that everyone is from Dou County now." ”

Mrs. Wu is so good, and the master book is not easy to refuse, she has already promised the people, even for the sake of the fragrant tea and good food in the yamen, the warm charcoal basin, and the thick curtain cushions, she can't let her be ridiculed.

In the big winter, the city fence began lively, there was no shortage of people, and more new people found a livelihood, rice porridge was full, dry food rations were rationed, meat dishes every five days, a bowl of wine every six days, so that the city was built at a rapid speed.

The main book looks at it and feels that Dou County, who has lived for decades, does not recognize it.

The sound of firecrackers came sporadically from the new gathering place outside the city, and the master couldn't help but shudder, not frightened by the firecrackers, but frightened by the situation in front of him.

The New Year's Festival is coming, and time has passed in a blink of an eye since the thief killed the magistrate, and the master book has suddenly come back to his senses.

He looked at the dense crowd under the city, these people were more terrible than the bandits.

"They are gathered here because they eat and drink." The main bookkeeper's voice was hoarse, "When Minzhuang cried and shouted that he was a native of Dou County because he ate and drank, what if he didn't eat and drink?" ”

These foods and drinks are all provided by Mrs. Wu, but how long can they be supplied? Two months a month? Even if there are mountains of gold and silver, they can't hold thousands of mouths, not to mention that this young lady Wu is still a passing immortal.

What if she's gone?

Dou County can't support so many people.

When there is no food and drink, what will become of Dou County?

The officials of Dou County behind him were silent, only their clothes shivering in the cold wind.

The threat of the bandits has faded, Wang knows that Dewey's tragic death has been forgotten, and the chaos and panic have calmed down, and the master has finally woken up.

"Go see Young Lady Wu!" He said in a trembling voice.

A group of officials hulala returned to the county office, but Mrs. Wu Shao was not in the county office.

"Ask the bearded young lady Wu to watch the martial arts competition."

"Xiang Qiu said that everyone envied him, and there were many people who thought they were better than him and wanted to compete with him, Xiang Qiu took the challenge, and I specially invited Mrs. Wu to watch."

"Young Lady Wu agreed."

The messengers of the county government have said that some people have not forgotten to add.

"Mrs. Wu pulled a cart of jewelry."

This woman ..... Also, are there so many rangers in Dou County? The master bookkeeper shook the cold sweat on his body.

"My lord, let's go and invite the young lady back." A scribe said in a trembling voice, "Then send her away......

"Nope." The master bookkeeper interrupted him, and his mind, which had never turned in his life, spun rapidly, "Now we have to keep her, we can't let her go." ”

If she wants to leave, she must solve the troubles of these displaced people, and if she can't solve it, she is the sheep who bear the sin.

It's not that he is ungrateful, the master book clenched his fists and persuaded himself that these troubles were really brought by Mrs. Wu.

The worries and horrors of the county yali and the others, Mrs. Wu Shao didn't know that she was sitting on a wasteland outside the east of Dou County, watching the man in front of her turn around like a peacock with the screen open.

"Young lady, I want to add gold to your face."

Xiang Qiu was dressed in a more beautiful brocade robe, green brocade, and flowers with gold threads, which he did not exchange for wine and meat, but those merchants took the initiative to give him.

So a handmaid was brought to serve his splendid robes.

He slept in an inn that gave him the best room for free.

Seven or eight people surrounded him, helping him push a cart to cut meat and pour wine.

Xiang Qi walked on the street like a rich man, these did not cost him money, his wine and meat were reduced because he invited people to eat and drink, and the gems on the treasure knife hanging on his waist were not cut off and sold, because he was a guest of Mrs. Wu Shao, and everyone was voluntary.

It seems that they have also become Mrs. Wu's people.

But there are also many people who don't think so, but want someone like Xiang Qiu to really become a young lady of Wu, or simply replace Xiang Qiu.

With more and more people around Xiang Qiu, more and more people come to find Xiang Qiu, outside the inn, in the field where the wine banquet is in full swing, with arrogance or provocation or elegance and other different manners to express the same meaning, and Xiang Qi Beard competition.

Xiang Qiu was invited by Mrs. Wu as a guest because of her peerless kung fu, and defeating Xiang Qiu is naturally a more peerless talent, of course Mrs. Wu will invite them with a wine treasure knife.

The proud Xiang Beard didn't fight with everyone who came to challenge, even though he would go up and fight if he was glared at on the road.

Xiang Beard took everyone's challenge and brought them together.

"I'll compete with you in front of Young Lady Wu." He proudly held the sword and looked down at everyone, "Let Young Lady Wu see that I am worthy of her sword." ”
