Seeing the bright and dangling long sword, the person who walked in front showed timidity.

On the opposite side is the official of the imperial court, which is the Taishou of a city, and if it is not an outlaw, no one wants the official to have a conflict.

After a commotion, the momentum of the crowd's advance slowed down.

Hong Siqi knew that this pause was only temporary, and he couldn't use a sword to deter everyone, so he shouted loudly, "You listen to Lao Tzu, Her Royal Highness the princess is merciful, and will not drive you away like rabbits, but on the contrary, he will prepare food and drink for you." But—you must obey Lao Tzu's command!"

This is not something that a four-rank civil official should say, but it seems to be the style of a martial artist, if it is on the streets of Gyeonggi, there will definitely be ginseng the next day, and he will be out of place. But Hong Siqi can't care about those at the moment - elegant shouts are obviously not as easy to understand as scolding.

"Listen to Lao Tzu, whoever is obedient from now on will have something to eat. Whoever dares to make trouble, the people around him won't have anything to eat!"

As soon as these words came out, the agitation suddenly disappeared a little, and everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere seemed to be wary of who was making trouble.

"Great, sir," asked a woman, tremblingly, "are you telling the truth?" princess...... Why don't you drive us away?"

"And there's something to eat?" asked another.

This is also an issue that the vast majority of displaced people are concerned about.

"This matter involves the face of the royal family, do you think I will say it to tease you?" Hong Siqi drew his sword and pointed to the West City Gate, "The resettlement tent has been set up, and the hot porridge is also burning, but you must obey my arrangement before you can stay in the camp!"

"Sir, please speak. ”

"Read the rules!"

"Yes!" Ding Pan hurriedly unfolded the long scroll in his hand - this is also the charter set by the master last night, "Everyone must not push or preempt, and must follow the guidance of the personnel of the Secretariat and move into the camp in batches." ”

"First of all, men and women are separated from each other in teams of six! Children under the age of six can follow their mothers regardless of gender, and those over the age of six are lined up according to their gender!"

Obviously, this step cannot be done by the refugees themselves. Hong Siqi nodded at the manpower provided by the Bureau, and the latter immediately took action.

Taishou was surprised to find that these people were not very old, but they were very neat. It seems that Xia Fan was not perfunctory when he said that they were all good hands trained by the guides, at least he understood the meaning of the order at the first time.

This process took nearly half an hour.

Some people in the queue have already started complaining that the queue is too slow.

What a bunch of people who don't know what to do!

Hong Siqi waved his hand at Ding Pan and motioned for him to hurry up and proceed to the next step.

The latter cleared his throat, "Now, start counting in groups of ten, and the people who are counted will follow the guide to the camp!

"My lord, that's my brother!"

"We are family, please keep us together, my lord!"

At this point, disagreements finally arise, and some of the refugees in the queue were forced to separate due to the skip-the-line people, an unexpected decision that caused a stir in the crowd.

Hong Siqi will definitely not let the beggar get his wish.

Or rather, disrupting small groups among the refugees is his goal. When these people gather together, it is easy to breed trouble, and if there are many small groups together, then if there is a little internal conflict, it will lead to fighting. On the other hand, if the secretariat is strictly guarded, it will also make them temporarily hold it tightly and unanimously with the outside world, which can be said to be unpleasant to the left and right.

Therefore, the most reasonable solution is to isolate them when the camp is assigned.

"Want to be together? Hong Siqi said coldly, "How about getting out of Jinxia City together?" I don't want to repeat what I just said-only those who obey the command will have food!"

"Don't worry, this arrangement is only temporary, and after you register your identity and become residents of Jinxia City, it doesn't matter how you gather!" Ding Pan, who acted as a red-faced person, added, "In addition, there is a special person to guard the camp, so you don't have to worry about safety." It's just a matter of patience for a few days, and I advise you to do as Taishou wants. ”

It's probably been a bumpy ride for too long, and everyone is anxious to find a place to stay, and there are not many people who follow the begging. Coupled with Taishou's previous warning, even if some refugees don't want to be separated from their families, they can't help but be a little restrained when they see the staring looks of everyone around them.

After all, this step is a smooth one.

Hong Siqi finally breathed a sigh of relief, once the refugees were broken up and reorganized, their potential deterrent power would be much smaller.

And then it was a matter of course.

Porridge, registration, inquiry...... These matters are handled by the special personnel of the secretariat, and he does not need to bother with it. At the end of a busy day, most of the tents outside the West City Gate were already occupied.

"It's worthy of the master. Ding Pan said with sincere emotion, "What I had no experience in before can be done at one time, and it can be done so smoothly!

"This is just the beginning. Hong Siqi said disapprerovitously, "Leizhou is erosive, how can there be only these seven or eight hundred fugitives." It's a flood, and the peak hasn't reached Jinxia City yet. By the time thousands of people swarmed in the next time, the fifty or so people in the bureau alone would not be enough to see. ”

"Then you want to ask Lord Xia again?"

"Well, they have to have enough men. Hong Siqi touched his beard and chuckled, "But don't worry, I've already thought of a countermeasure, maybe I can make some money." ”

The next day, Taishou came to the camp and announced to the refugees that there was a large need for porters in Jinxia City, and they could be paid daily. He intended to pick out a hundred young men from the crowd to do the job.

This news immediately stirred up a wave, and everyone left their hometowns, driven all the way here, and finally filled their hungry stomachs yesterday, and then thought about what to do in the future. Everyone understands that there will be a day when the supply of free rice porridge will be stopped, and if you can save some money here, you may be able to save your life at a critical time.

The 100 places were quickly filled, and even when Taishou proposed that 10% of the remuneration be the introduction fee, no one objected.

After all, drifting and making money are commonplace, especially when the government takes the lead. The other party only received one percent, and he was already a good official for the sake of the people.

On the third day, Hong Siqi brought more daily job opportunities, and this time the number increased to more than 200.

That night, everyone in the camp knew one thing—the city was full of opportunities, and as long as you were willing to work, it would not be difficult to earn money;

The same was true on the fourth and fifth days.

On the sixth day, Hong Siqi offered himself a job: recruiting 400 people to help him pick up the newly arrived refugees. Although the remuneration offered was not high, everyone knew that it was doing Taishou a favor, and the response was quite enthusiastic, and many women tried to get the job opportunity.

When Hong Siqi came to the old place in the western suburbs, the refugee tide gradually came into view - the scale of this surge significantly exceeded the previous wave, conservatively estimated at more than 2,000 people.

But now he is no longer just the 50 guides of the bureau, and a new team of refugees is standing in several rows, and they are pressing for him. The men were armed with long sticks and red satin tied around their shoulders, and they looked like a wall.

Even without him shouting, in the face of this eye-catching "line of defense", the migrating refugees consciously slowed down and slowly stopped in front of Taishou.

Hong Siqi touched his beard and nodded at Ding Pan.

The latter took a deep breath and shouted, "You must have worked hard all the way. This is the end of the evacuation, welcome to Jinxia City!"
