Outside the city of Dangun, a team of displaced people is slowly moving forward.

At the city gate, the soldiers of Danjun were closely guarded and checked in order.

The displaced people who passed the investigation were distributed with food, water and warm clothes on the spot, and after gathering in the city, they were escorted by another team of soldiers and horses to the new city area dedicated to housing the foreign population.

Those with suspicious behavior are taken away and quarantined, carefully investigated and interrogated, and those who accompany them are asked to identify. If it proves that there is no problem, it will also be sent to the new city, and the problem will be taken directly.

Everything is in order.

Wei Jing and Wei Yi brothers rode war horses to supervise the scene to ensure that everything was normal.

Although winter is not suitable for troops, especially this year's heavy snowfall, it is said that many hungry and cold displaced people came from other states and counties, and they did not survive halfway and froze to death. The major forces will not risk freezing their soldiers to death before the war has even started, and rush to attack. But there are no absolutes in the world, and if there are really other forces mixed in with the displaced people, it is still quite dangerous.

The more this time, the more cautious it becomes.

The new town is large enough to accommodate most of the displaced people for the time being, and then move to other county towns when the weather is better.

The biggest problem now is that there is a shortage of food in the city, and there are many displaced people from other states and counties. Because of the war, the princes attacked each other, resulting in the displacement of hundreds of people. In this weather, many people have starved to death and froze to death, and after learning of the policy of Golden State, in order to survive, displaced people have rushed to come.

In addition to the displaced people, there are also some people in other counties who are attracted by the Golden State policy, some are attracted by Liu Yuanxiang's name of benevolence and righteousness, some feel that they can get a better life after seeing the policy, and some see business opportunities and know that Golden State will become more and more prosperous, so they rush over and prepare to do business here.

In short, there are all kinds of people, some from Danjun, from the direction of Jujun, and some from Tongjun. The number of immigrants received by Dan County every day is staggering, and the food is consumed very quickly.

The military rations cannot be moved, so they can only wait for the special relief food allocated by Huajun.

It's just that now the snow is thick, the carriages on the roads are difficult to walk, and the wheels are easy to sink or even get stuck. The troops could only shovel the snow near the city gates, and there was no way to go further afield. In such a situation, can the grain from Huajun be delivered in time?

With so many mouths waiting to be fed, if there is not enough food, there will be trouble. They all came to Jinzhou for their lives, and for this reason, they did not hesitate to freeze to death and starve to death on the road to come on foot in the snow, and they were desperate to survive. With a glimmer of hope in my heart, I finally arrived. If you suddenly find that there is no hope here, you will starve to death even if you arrive, and you don't know what to do in despair.

There are so many displaced people that it would be an unimaginable disaster to rob the residents of the city or the official warehouses for the sake of food riots.

Military rations may be used as a last resort, but the army is an important force in protecting Dangun, and it is dangerous to starve the soldiers. In the unlikely event that other forces suddenly attack Dangun at this time, the starving soldiers will not be able to exert their full combat strength. Or the lack of food caused the soldiers to mutiny, which was even more terrible than the homeless rebellion.

Therefore, the grain from Hwasa is very important!

"Fuzun!!" Wei Jing and Wei Yi brothers patrolled along the way, and suddenly a group of weather-beaten homeless people behind them, with a white snowflake, quickly came over and knelt on the ground, kowtowing again and again.

"Stand back! Stand back! Don't get closer!" the guards around him hurriedly stepped forward to block the homeless people.

"Stand down!" Wei Jing shouted, letting the guards retreat to the side, turning over and dismounting and walking forward, reaching out to support these homeless people one by one.

Wei Yi also jumped off the horse, clenched the weapon in his hand, and followed his brother vigilantly, his eyes constantly looking at everyone. Whenever someone suddenly attacks, his weapon will be the first to stab him.

Fortunately, these homeless people had no malicious intent, and after getting up, they begged again and again: "Fuzun, there are hundreds of people in Liantong Mountain who are too weak, they are hungry and cold, and they can't stand it now! If you don't care about it, you may not be able to survive tonight." Please also ask the Fuzun to send someone to rescue!"

"Please send someone to rescue you!!" the group of homeless people spoke in unison, their eyes full of sorrow.

"The snow is so thick that it's hard for cars and horses to travel. Wei Yi said, "Liantong Mountain is fifty miles away from here, even if we send troops to rescue, we may not be able to arrive today." ”

"Ask Fuzun to save people!!" The group of homeless people knelt down and kowtowed again, and it was estimated that among those left behind were their relatives and friends.

"This ......" Wei Jing was very embarrassed, on the one hand, he felt that he should save people, after all, people came to Jinzhou, and ignoring them would hurt the people's hearts. But Wei Yi was right, the snow was too thick, it was difficult for the carriages and horses to move, and it was impossible for the elite cavalry in the city to risk saving people. The cavalry is very noble, and it cannot be afforded in case of failure. What's more, even if they are sent out, such a thick snow will not be able to catch up today, and I am afraid that those people will freeze to death before they arrive. If you run for nothing, there will be some accidents on the way and there may be losses of cavalry, which is not necessary.

It was a dilemma that left him at a loss as to what to choose.

If there was no such thick snow, ordinary soldiers could have been sent to rescue people in horse-drawn carriages. What should we do now?

Faced with the bitter pleading of the homeless, Wei Jing had a hard time making a decision.

At this moment, a person in the city rode a horse and galloped, and quickly came here: "Fuzun, the Huajun grain transportation team has arrived!"

It turned out to be Liang Kai of Danjun County.

"So fast?" Wei Yi exclaimed when he heard this, "The snow is so thick that he arrived early?"

"Really?" Wei Jing was also taken aback.

"It's true!" Liang Kai nodded, "Originally, the grain transportation team was not so fast, and there was even an accident near Huajun. However, I heard that the military advisor ordered someone to modify the car, so that the beam truck could drive rapidly on snowy roads, and it was very stable. At this moment, the grain is being handed over, and the official specially came to report. By the way, they are ......"

"There are hundreds of displaced people trapped in Liantong Mountain and in need of help. Wei Jing sighed, "It's just that Liantong Mountain is fifty miles away from here, so I'm afraid I won't be able to arrive before tonight." The people on the mountain are cold and hungry, and the snow is not stopping at the moment, I am afraid that they will not survive tonight. ”

"The people sincerely voted, and they couldn't help it. Wei Yi said, "But this situation is in vain......

"Wait!" Wei Jing turned to Liang Kai, "You said that the beam transport vehicle has been modified by the military division and can be driven on snowy roads?"

"Yes!"

"Hurriedly ordered the requisition of the beam truck, unloaded the grain and pulled it over immediately, hoping that it would be in time. ”

Liang Kai immediately received the order, turned around and rushed back to the city.

The homeless people kowtowed again and again to thank them, Wei Jing asked them to go to the investigation first, and then follow them to the new city to eat and keep warm, as for the matter of saving people, people will hurry.

Liang Kai rushed over and ordered the grain transport team to unload the grain as soon as possible, and then sent troops to requisition these modified sleigh wagons.

The car was pulled outside the city, Wei Yi personally led the team, pulled a homeless person who knew the location as a guide, and hurriedly moved towards Liantong Mountain.

The sleigh carriage was indeed speeding through the snow, and there was no trouble of getting the wheels stuck in the snow or getting stuck like a normal horse-drawn carriage.

The team rushed all the way, and in less than half a day, they arrived at the foot of Liantong Mountain, and sure enough, they found hundreds of weak and homeless people.

With nowhere to hide in the snow, many of them huddled under trees to keep warm, and many of them were frozen and had difficulty even moving.

Already desperate, they found their companions coming with a convoy, and their desire to survive made them cry for help with all their might.

Wei Yi hurriedly ordered the soldiers to rescue these displaced people and bring them to the car one after another.

At the same time, distribute a small amount of food and water, and cover it with a thick quilt.

A few of them who had frozen to death had no choice but to bury them on the spot to avoid being eaten by wild beasts.

After that, he rode forward to check if there were any other displaced people who were trapped on the road.

After making sure that there was no one else, he ordered the horse to turn around and return to Danjun with this group of displaced people.

After careful investigation, they were sent to the new city for resettlement, and the rescued displaced people and their relatives were grateful and grateful.

Wei Jing thought that the situation might be similar in other places, so he sent people to Tong County, Ju County, Ba County, Yuetai County, and Jilan County with each person, and shared the method of transforming the carriage with the officials of these states and counties, so that they could learn to make sleigh cars and use them to pick up people and transport supplies.

When the states and counties got their hands on the sled, they immediately instructed the best craftsmen to copy the bottom structure of the sled and use it quickly.

A simple change, however, has become the best means of transportation in heavy snowy weather, with which it has successfully rescued a large number of displaced people trapped on the way, and it is also more convenient to mobilize resources between states and counties.

The rescued refugees were all grateful to Dade and praised Princess Yuanxi's benevolence. Other forces do not pay much attention to the displaced people, and some even have officials who continue to drive out the displaced people, while imposing a burden on the areas under their jurisdiction.

The policy on the Golden State side was very different from that of other forces, and the rescued displaced people were glad that they had come here.

Not to mention that after arriving in Golden State, the government registered everyone, gave them food, water, warm clothing, and temporary housing accommodation. After hearing that, we will arrange for everyone to go to the counties of the Golden State to participate in the work, and also ensure food and water, and have enough warm houses and clothing.

The people praised Liu Yuanxiang, the princess of Yuanxi, but the county officials were deeply grateful to Ning Ze for this "invention".

If it weren't for the appearance of modified sleigh cars, it would have been extremely difficult to rescue the displaced people who had come to the Golden State in such weather conditions, and to transport supplies, which would have caused great problems for all officials.

It is precisely because of its appearance that everything can go smoothly.

I don't know who started the call for the sleigh "Ning's Snow Boat", and officials from all over the country followed suit and soon used this title uniformly.

Snow boat, meaning like a snow boat.

The "Ning's Snow Boat" is widely used in various places because of its snow surface speeding function, which solves the trouble that the snow is too thick in winter and it is difficult for cars and horses to travel.

The county armies also began to build "Ning's Snow Boats" to cope with any conditions that might arise during the winter months.

There are well-informed merchants in Jinzhou, who don't know where to hear about the structure of "Ning's Snow Boat", and spend a lot of money to ask craftsmen to imitate it for winter cargo transportation, making sleigh cars popular in Jinzhou.
