At this time, rumors began to circulate among the refugees that the south had not suffered from disasters, and that the king of Zhennan was a reincarnated living Buddha, and that the taxes on the fields within his jurisdiction had not increased but decreased, and if they wanted to live, they had to find the king of Zhennan in the south! The refugees who could not survive were encouraged to beg along the road to the south, and some influential old men among the refugees consciously took responsibility and led the large group of refugees to start this road of escape.

But the government does not allow the city to pass near the city, a radius of hundreds of miles, the official road is full of roadblocks, refugees after several conflicts, except to leave dozens of corpses, there is no other way, I don't know whose proposal, they began to flee to the east, along the eastern part of the empire to the south began to flee on foot, every time they pass through a town and a city, they will be driven away by the soldiers defending the city, not allowed to enter the city, but fortunately they will put food for a day, and after the next day, they will be driven away, it is forbidden to surround outside the city, and those who dare to forcibly resist will be beaten to death, and the others will have to continue to walk forward when they see that there is no way to live here, but fortunately, they are full of food and have the strength to walk。

In the past three months, there have been people in the refugee group who have been encouraging the refugees to flee to the south, coupled with the consistent treatment measures in each town, so that this group of refugees finally "escaped" to Nanyang City, more than half of the 20,000 or 30,000 refugees died on the road, some died of illness, some were killed for food, some were poisoned by eating poisonous things, and the refugees crossed the river and crossed the mountains, all the way to here.

Qin Jingshan, who understood the general situation, had a gloomy face, slapped on the battlements, and stared at the refugees gathered below with anger in his eyes.

"This is playing with human life as a chess piece! This time, what about next time? What about next time? If you continue to play like this, aren't you afraid of causing turmoil?" After these fragmentary news, Qin Jingshan roughly knew the details of the situation after colluding the matter.

Qin Jingshan is also aware of the drought in the northeast, and the imperial court newspaper says that the affected areas in the area will be exempted from paying taxes for two years, why are these refugees forced to pay heavy taxes? All the magistrates there should be put in prison and executed to death in order to set an example.

Li Xiangfeng, Yu Yan, Lei Tian, and Tang Yun walked towards Nanyang City quickly, and as soon as they entered the refugee group, they were intercepted by a group of refugees.

"What are you doing, sir? Li Xiangfeng held the white-haired old man in front of him with both hands and helped the old man up steadily. Lei Tian and Tang Yun were also the first to go to support the kneeling refugees.

"Everyone, get up, what are you doing here!" Tang Yun helped several refugees one after another, but they were all indifferent and shouted anxiously.

The old man who was helped up waved his hand to signal Lei Tian and Tang Yun not to make useless moves again, and said to Li Xiangfeng in a slow voice: "This little brother, thank you for rewarding us with a mouthful of food, but after all, we can't save thousands of us, the old man knows that the little brother is a person with some ability, and I hope that the little brother and Nanyang City are too accommodating, let us into the city! If we go south, there will be no way to live, if Nanyang City can't accommodate us, I'm afraid we will all die here." The more the old man talked, the more sad he became, their group of people paid such a big price to cross thousands of miles to come here, it was because of the words that circulated among the refugees, "Only Nanyang City will take in these refugees, the king of Zhennan does not pay taxes, and the peasant family is the master of the house" and so on.

If this sentence is shattered, they really have no way to live, and the only hope for the refugees to survive is in this Nanyang City, and they are already convinced of the bone marrow.

"Old gentleman, I don't know if the Taishou will let you into the city, but the junior will definitely not give up on you! The old gentleman can rest assured, although there is no guarantee that you will be able to enter the city, but the junior can guarantee that none of you will be starved to death this year!" Li Xiangfeng said as he looked at the old man with a wrinkled face and sunken eye sockets.

At this moment, in Tang Yun's heart, Li Xiangfeng seemed to be as sacred as the ancestor of the hanging pot to help the world, and he silently recited the motto of the family door again in his heart.

When Lei Tian saw Li Xiangfeng say this, he felt too ashamed, he actually felt uncomfortable for losing the 30,000 gold coin exchange coupon just now, compared to Li Xiangfeng's current integrity, his heart was too small.

"Let's all get up! We won't care about you, as long as we have food to eat, everyone will never go hungry!"

After pacifying this group of refugees, a few people walked forward, while Tang Yun stayed behind and began to treat the injured people among the refugees, Li Xiangfeng, Yu Yan, and Lei Tian passed all the way, and the refugees on both sides would nod their heads and show their gratitude, which made Lei Tian very useful, and he felt like a hero, walking forward with his head held high.

"Xiang Feng, you go and do your business! I'll stay here!" After walking outside the city gate, staring at the bustling group of refugees, Yu Yan said to Li Xiangfeng.

"Okay! I still need you to take care of it!" Li Xiangfeng finished speaking and entered the city.

Lei Tian also stayed, and Li Xiangfeng couldn't intervene in what Li Xiangfeng was going to talk about, so he should stay outside the city to help.

Led by a soldier, Li Xiangfeng walked up to the tower of the South City Gate, met Qin Jingshan, Nanyang Taishou and Nanyang Garrison, and told him about his plan to deal with the refugees.

"What? you want to build a village?" exclaimed Taishou. Li Xiangfeng actually wanted to open up an area on a wasteland near the Mianlun Mountains to house refugees.

"Lord Taishou, the younger generation is not to establish a village, but to find a place for these refugees, the reason why I chose that place, because that place is close to the forest of Mount Mianlun, and the forest of Mount Mianlun is full of monsters, these refugees after a period of training, they can also register mercenaries, take some mercenary tasks to support themselves, or hunt some beasts on the periphery of the forest and sell them in Nanyang City in exchange for money to support themselves. Li Xiangfeng said his thoughts in an orderly manner.

Taishou nodded and pondered, and also felt that there was some truth, these refugees would definitely not be put into the city, and there were so many refugees in the city all of a sudden, what should they rely on to feed? How much chaos is going to happen, I have been assessed as A in the Ministry of Officials by relying on the political achievements of Nanyang City, and in a few years, I will open up the relationship, and the day of promotion will be just around the corner, but I can't be ruined by these refugees My splendid career, I nodded and agreed, but added that the wasteland government can be an intermediary to sell it, but the government will not pay a penny for the money to buy the land.

As soon as these words came out, they aroused the contempt of Qin Tianxin and Xiaoru, the dignified Nanyang City Government wanted to buy a small piece of wasteland to resettle refugees, and was unwilling to pay for it, what a joke.

Hum!

Qin Tianxin and Xiaoru turned their heads at the same time and gave Taishou a roll of the eyes, and Taishou could only bear it in vain, there was no way, the county lord!

Even Qin Jingshan felt that something was wrong, the resettlement of refugees should have been the business of imperial officials, and now although Li Xiangfeng and others are in charge, it is always the people of the empire, and it is not a way to just let it go.

"Those wastelands, take care of them, whoever wants to have any problems, just come to the palace to find the king!" Qin Jingshan confiscated the wasteland with a word.

Li Xiangfeng had to admire the benefits of being an official in his heart, especially when he was a big official, he couldn't help but envy Yu Yanlai, how to say that he is also a second-generation official, if there is anything in the future, it is better to let Yu Yan come forward, at least in terms of face, we will not fall behind, that is, Yu Yan's cold expression has to be changed, and he has time to train and train well, Li Xiangfeng was planning a meritocracy in his heart, when he was interrupted by Qin Jingshan.

"It's rare to have such a broad mind at a young age, and in the future, put these thoughts on sharing worries for the saint and serving the court, this king can also protect you as an official, and in the future, you must not put it on the crooked ways of stealing chickens and dogs, climbing over the wall and making trouble, otherwise this king will not be able to protect you! Do you know?" In the eyes of outsiders, Qin Jingshan seems to be teaching Li Xiangfeng, a junior, as an elder, but in the eyes of Qin Tianxin and Li Xiangfeng, it seems to be warning Li Xiangfeng.

Li Xiangfeng really didn't know how to answer, so he could only say "Thank you for the teachings of the prince, and the small people will remember it", and then retired under the pretext that the refugees needed to be resettled.

Captain Wang, who was standing next to Junming at the south gate, had already recognized Li Xiangfeng, who was fighting with Pi Jianyuan outside the city at that time, but he didn't expect that now he would be involved in the refugee matter, but Li Xiangfeng's style and integrity also made him feel extremely emotional, guarding the people and keeping a place safe should have been done by the old men who were named officials, but today he actually saw this funny scene.

One side of the guard turned a blind eye to this matter and threw it at a young man, and the prince, who was the king of a land, actually acquiesced in the incident?

No one will pay attention to the thoughts of a team leader, time is still running, and the refugees outside the city are gathered together, listening to a young man in beige clothes standing on the cart talking, busy for half a day, Li Xiangfeng's beige clothes have long turned gray-brown, and his face is also dirty, but he shouted excitedly, conveying his thoughts.

After a while, the refugees began to be mobilized, led by Lei Tian and Tang Yun, and slowly walked towards the northwest of Nanyang City, and the destination was the wasteland.

Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan selected a hundred sturdy men from the refugees to enter the city to buy the materials they needed, while the strong men who had hired them to hold wooden sticks and the women who helped them received the reward and happily dispersed.

Qin Jingshan couldn't resist his daughter's entanglement, agreed to Qin Tianxin to help the refugees, and forcibly left Zhao Wu and several guards to Qin Tianxin's side to be personal guards, of course, Xiaoru and Qingyang Lanruo also followed Qin Tianxin to join the vast team of purchasing materials.
