"There are more than 40,000 displaced people in this place?!"

Xu Jizong's eyes widened involuntarily.

He is not the uninformed little yellow door in the palace, as a close servant of the Son of Heaven, he has also followed Zhao Rui to read the army, and at this moment, he knows that there are at least more than a thousand strong men in front of him.

Raising his head, the barracks from near to far are lined up, although the appearance is simple, but they are lined up one after another, one battalion after another, if it can accommodate tens of thousands of people, it is not impossible.

Xu Jizong opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a while.

Zhang Zhi, who was standing in front, walked over to the registration office at the gate of the camp, carefully watched how those officials helped the returning strong men to draw circles on the roster, and personally counted how many people were on the roster.

Although he didn't speak, there was a slight look of surprise on his face.

Unlike Meng Ling, a prince who eats and waits for death, Zhang Zhi is self-motivated, although due to his own ability, he has not been able to make any great achievements for the time being, but he has also done things seriously.

As the uncle of the Empress Dowager, Zhang has been to too many prefectures and counties to inspect local officials for disaster relief, and has seen many camps used to house displaced people, but he has never seen a camp that controls displaced people like Ganzhou.

The roster on the table has about hundreds of names on one book, more than a dozen, not to mention three or four thousand people, and according to the appearance of the people who have come to register at present, most of the names on the roster are strong men.

And these strong men are now in a winding queue, although they are not particularly neat, but they are also decent, and they look a little similar to the new barracks in the barracks.

The four of them stood here, Zhang Zhi and Meng Ling dressed up as important ministers, Xu Jizong dressed as an inner servant, and there were many followers and a few small yellow doors behind, which was very attention-grabbing.

The strong men who had just returned to the camp quickly noticed this group of people, and they didn't know which one in the crowd suddenly whispered: "Look at that, is that Gu Tongju?" ”

Zhang Zhi was close and happened to hear it in his ears.

The noisy procession gradually quieted down.

It was winter at this time, and it was getting dark early, although it had just passed the unitary hour, several torches had been lit early at the entrance of the camp, and by the afterglow of the setting sun and the light of the torches, Zhang Zhi could clearly see the changes in the expressions of these homeless people who were close at hand.

They didn't leave the team, but there were many people who were far away, bowing to Gu Yanzhang, and the strong men who didn't move also consciously closed their mouths, and looked at the tall young man in a low-grade green-robed official uniform opposite, whether it was their expression or movement, they clearly showed their heartfelt gratitude to this young judge.

Yes, gratitude, and respect.

Zhang Cheng has seen countless homeless people, some are at a loss, some are desperate and vicious, and some are cynical, but he has rarely seen such a large number of homeless people, and he has such feelings for an official who should be high in his heart.

There are not many capable ministers in the court, whether it is Sun Xianggong, Huang Zhaoliang, Huang Xianggong, or Fan Yaochen, and many important ministers who are now in high positions, they have been arranged to appease the displaced people, and they have done it very properly, such as Fan Yaochen, who once settled nearly 100,000 disaster victims in the Daimyo Mansion, and did not cause any trouble.

However, what these officials do is more to strategize in the rear and control the general direction, and rarely appear on the front line.

It was the first time that Zhang Zhi had seen a general judge, and as soon as he appeared in front of so many homeless people, he could be recognized by almost everyone immediately without being arranged and reminded in advance by anyone in the official mansion.

The people are stupid, but they are smart, and it is very easy to get their gratitude, as long as they give porridge on time and give them a place to stay, they can be grateful, but it is even more difficult to get them to respect.

Without asking any questions, Zhang Zhi could know that this young general judge, who had only been in and out of the camp for only one year, must have been in and out of the camp from time to time, and he did everything himself and thoughtfully, so that he could win the heartfelt respect of many homeless people.

And Xu Jizong, who was standing with Gu Yanzhang, was even more secretly speechless.

He was born as an internal servant, and what he was best at was observing words and feelings, so he could naturally see that the young man next to him had already gathered the homeless people in this camp into obedience.

But Meng Ling, who was standing in front of Gu Yanzhang, didn't think about it so much.

Although he is the governor of Ganzhou, it is the first time he has come back to this camp far outside the city, and he has seen the displaced people looking at his place, only thinking that it is the first time that the people have seen high-grade officials, and the first time they have seen the summoning envoys dressed as internal servants, so they are so polite.

Meng Ling smiled at Zhang and said, "Zhang Sheren, let's enter the camp earlier." ”

For him, coming to this camp to inspect is just a formality, and all he is thinking about at the moment is the banquet he set up in the state hall early.

That's what he carefully prepared to curry favor with Zhang Zhi, if it is left for a long time, the taste will inevitably be worse by three points, which is really a pity.

Zhang Zhi did not refuse, although he was still standing outside the door, he had already developed a strong curiosity about the situation inside, nodded at this time, and stepped into the camp first.

The four of them walked slowly in the camp with their entourage, and Gu Yanzhang saw that Meng Ling had no intention of coming out, so he took a few steps forward and led the way.

“…… According to the state, county, and village for the division of residences, acquaintances live next to acquaintances, about a hundred people to choose a security chief, every ten security chiefs have a health chief, layer by layer of control, once there is something abnormal in any part of the camp, must ensure that within a quarter of an hour, can find the corresponding security chief, find out the source. ”

"It rains in the spring and summer in Ganzhou, the flood is a disaster, the big year floods the house, the small year can also flood people, the lower official has a staff member named Sun Lin, who happened to have invited a few old people in the Qintian prison who were already old in the court, and after visiting Ganzhou, it was suggested that the canal could be repaired here."

"According to their instructions and drawings, it happened that there are many displaced people in Ganzhou now, so they selected corresponding people from among them, entered the city to repair canals, and paid grain, rice and accommodation according to working hours every day."

"In addition to the prime-age people, there are also the elderly, women and children, all have errands......"

He walked all the way, introducing the situation in the camp all the way, his tone was not slow, and he did not tire of explaining.

"What's that?"

Zhang Zhi pointed to the big buckets side by side not far away and asked.

Gu Yanzhang followed his direction and said, "That's the wooden barrel made by the women and the old man in the camp, which stores water for fire prevention. ”

"Ganzhou spring and summer solstice is very rainy, but there is little rain in winter, once the fire, the camp of the displaced people live densely, very easy to accidents, is to every five barracks to be placed full of water barrels around, to extinguish the fire, every night there are also soldiers with the homeless people to patrol, one to prevent water, the other to prevent disasters."
