Ding got off his horse and walked, and the two knights around him escorted him silently, and the others were still riding on horses, faintly blocking all angles around him to prevent assassination.

The middle-aged man had already noticed this.

There is no way, there are only a few people who can afford to buy horses at this time, not to mention that Ding Dang is still guarded by people in armor, and his status is not low at first glance.

"What does this lord command?"

The middle-aged man bowed.

Ding Dang's eyes lit up, and he also returned the courtesy.

"This official is the new county commander of Beichen County, and Mr. Fang saw that he used the art of war to command these ···········"

I thought about saying the word "homeless", but in order to take care of the other party's mood, Ding Dang still changed his words kindly.

“······ These villagers... The official was a little curious, so he came with the presumption. ”

The middle-aged man opposite was obviously a little surprised when he heard this.

What made Ding Dang even more curious was that the homeless people not far from him were also in a bit of commotion.

Ding Dang is too conspicuous.

He came with his horses, accompanied by five or six sturdy knights, and he was born with a good appearance, with a fair complexion, and was obviously the queen of the rich and noble.

In a circle of low-level civilians who are generally malnourished, weathered, and have done rough work, he naturally became the center of attention.

Yes, his words were listened to, even if Ding Dang didn't speak too loudly.

As soon as the wanderers moved, they saw the left and right armor soldiers holding the hilt of their swords with their left hands, and several nearby knights also squinted their eyes and held on the spears hanging on their horses, ready to kill at any time.

It was this middle-aged man who first noticed the situation, waved his hand to stop the commotion of the homeless, and then turned around with a wry smile, and immediately threw himself to the ground.

"What is this doing, sir? Why do you make this great gift? ”

Of course, Ding Dang couldn't let him bow like this, and held his arm with one hand.

The middle-aged man immediately felt as if he was being supported by an iron arm, and even if he pressed the weight of his whole body, he didn't see the slightest wavering in that hand, so he had to stand up.

When I looked up, I saw a smile on the corner of the young man's lips, but there was a faint chill in his eyes.

He sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that his calculations were afraid that they would be seen through.

I thought that I could get rid of this face and make a living for these folks behind me, after all, the other party is a young man, if his face is thinner, maybe he will agree to help?

After all, this young man is the lord of a county, he must be a rich and noble family, and there are only a few hundred homeless people, what is it?

It's a pity········· This person is so old, but he doesn't look like a young man.

"Sir? Mr? ”

"If you have something, you might as well say it directly, the official will do his best to help, and if you can't help, please understand the official's difficulties."

Just when he was out of his mind, he heard the Beichen County magistrate in front of him say this.

"This adult, the name of the grass people is Song He, the name of the township in Heli, Nanyang County, his hometown was flooded, and he had no choice but to flee here with these villagers."

"A big flood fell from the sky, from time to time where it came, suddenly, more than 300 households in a township, only half of the people left."

He spoke sadly, describing the strange flood to Ding Dang.

"Water, so big water, all over the place, all water, the grass people were lucky to hug the bathtub at home, and then they picked up a life."

"Pity my Heli Township, a radius of ten miles, all turned into Zeguo, grass people and others····· He also had to be reduced to a stateless person. ”

Speaking of this, the sadness, with a crying tone in his voice, the middle-aged man hid his face and wept.

Ding Dang was also slightly moved when he heard this, and at the same time a little angry.

"Since it's a natural disaster in Nanyang County, why don't you see the county officials of Nanyang County come forward?"

That's where his anger lies.

Natural disasters, such as floods, are likely to cause all sorts of other troubles if they are not dealt with in a timely manner.

For example, after the flood recedes, if the corpses are not disposed of properly, it is easy to bring plague.

In the aftermath of the floods, the victims need to be given pensions, new shelter and even some food subsidies.

Otherwise, these people are likely to become outcasts, or even bandits, or simply be absorbed by civil rebel organizations and become the source of turmoil in the dynasty.

Successive dynasties have been cautious in dealing with such incidents, and because they have not been handled well, the impact has been extremely bad.

Therefore, Ding Dang was angry at the inaction of the county officials.

"My lord, don't you know, Nanyang County, there is no county order for a long time, not only the county order, but even the six house owners in the county have been sealed!"

"Nanyang County has long been occupied by thieves!"

Song He cried about their suffering.

It turned out that as early as half a year ago, there was a group of thieves who robbed and killed the previous county commander, defeated the county soldiers, and openly opened the arsenal and took out weapons and armor, as if they were determined to rebel.

What's strange is that this group of thieves has no crime against the big families in the county, but they are miserable.

"Originally, one year old only had to pay taxes twice, but this group of people had to pay once a month, and if they couldn't pay it, they would sell themselves to big families in the city!"

"If you don't comply, there will be that thief who will come to make trouble day and night, and he will not kill anyone, but will just toss in a different way, and he will always force people to sell themselves as slaves and be willing to give up!"

Ding Dang gasped when he heard this.

I don't want to have such an arrogant bandit here!

"This thief in Nanyang County, I'm afraid it's not a big family in the city pretending, right?"

"Who's to say it isn't? But what can you do if you can see it? ”

"We, the grass people, are like weeds on the side of the road, anyone can come up and step on them, as long as we can get by, who dares to resist them?"

Song He smiled miserably, leaning over, his gray hair fluttering in the bleak autumn wind, looking so desolate.

The sun shone on his body, but it still couldn't stop the chill on Song He's body.

No, not only him, but also the hundreds of silent homeless people around him.

Ding Dang swept over them, and saw in their eyes the expectation, which was, a humble begging.

Taking a deep breath, Ding Dang closed his eyes, his heart full of various emotions.

Wrath! Sorrowful! Sympathize!

Mourn its misfortune and be angry with it!

Either it explodes in silence or perishes in silence.

Obviously, instead of being cornered, these low-level civilians will never think of rebelling and overthrowing the mountain above them.

However, in this world, even the most basic life can no longer be given to them!

If they hadn't met Ding Dang, the Qipin County Commander on the way to his post, what would have happened to them?

Most of the old and weak women and children, whether they have a skill or not, I am afraid that it is difficult to continue to live.

As for the young and strong, I am afraid that some of them can only be sold into slavery, and the rest ·········· You'll become a thief before you starve to death, right?

"I ············"
