The next day, early in the morning.

Zhao Kai was waiting for Xu Xiaoxiao at the intersection of the small road in the villa on a horse in his official uniform, with an elite army behind him and a carriage prepared for Xu Xiaoxiao.

Xu Xiaoxiao simply dressed up and came to the intersection of the trail with Liu Qiaoer.

"Little girl, is there anything I need to pay attention to?" Zhao Kai jumped off the ground from the horse and said uneasily.

He was worried that his lack of preparation would cause misunderstanding among the displaced people, after all, the hatred of the displaced people towards the government was still very great.

"Don't promise them what they can't do." Xu Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment and said.

Zhao Kai frowned and nodded repeatedly, then rode back on the horse, and Xu Xiaoxiao and Liu Qiaoer also got into the carriage together.

Several people walked back and forth towards the suburbs, and after about half a cup of tea, they came to the suburbs.

The displaced people gathered in the open space under the summons of the officers and soldiers, and Lin Qingquan came to everyone with a cane.

After resting for a while, his complexion was much better than before, and his complexion was ruddy with a little luster.

"Folks, I am Zhao Kai, the prefect of Shudi, and I am now ordered to come to communicate with you." Zhao Kai stepped on the wooden box and shouted loudly towards the bustling homeless.

The homeless people bowed their heads to each other in a daze, and the discussion became louder and louder, and Xu Xiaoxiao stood in another wooden box and picked up the horn when he saw this.

"Give me silence, and shut up if you want to live."

Due to the loudspeaker in her hand amplifying loudly, the homeless person was stimulated by the horn and hurriedly covered her ears, her face painful.

Then the scene was silent, and everyone looked at Zhao Kai and Xu Xiaoxiao with frightened eyes.

"I understand that everyone was displaced from natural disasters in order to escape the war, and they traveled all the way to Xin'an City, since they came to Xin'an City, the prince will settle everyone down." Xu Xiaoxiao put down the horn with a solemn expression and said loudly.

"But you must cooperate with the government within the jurisdiction of the government, and we will allocate rooms to everyone after the shelter is built." Zhao Kai then waved his hand and said loudly.

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar, and the discussion sounded again.

"How is it possible to give us a house."

"Like, are you calling us free labor?"

"Or do you want us to be tired and tired and not paid?"

The discussion became more and more intense, and some people even made a proposal to let them into the city.

The displaced people began to flock in, and the women were huddled in with their children, and many of the young girls were also crowded together by the displaced people.

Among them, there are homeless people who want to take advantage of the opportunity to reach out to young girls.

Xu Xiaoxiao stood on the wooden box and saw it clearly, she jumped off the wooden box and pushed away the homeless people, and came to the side of several homeless people who wanted to rub oil.

As soon as she grabbed the homeless man's hand, there was a "click" sound of bones breaking, and she easily broke the lean man's hand.

"Want to take the opportunity to bully a girl from a good family, tired of living?" Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes were fierce, and he gritted his teeth.

The lean man's hands were bent, his face twisted in pain, and his face turned pale, "I was wrong, girl, spare my life." ”

Seeing this, the other homeless people who wanted to attack retreated one after another, hiding behind the crowd.

The girl and the woman stepped back in fear, looking horrified at the lean man who was being held down.

"Listen to me, whoever dares to do evil in the future, don't blame me for being polite." Xu Xiaoxiao pushed the homeless man with force, and the lean man staggered a few steps and fell to the ground.

In order to prevent similar things from happening, the officers and soldiers, under the orders of Zhao Kai, divided the displaced people into two areas, redivided the camps, and divided them into men's camps and women's camps.

There will also be 24-hour patrols in the camp and arrest those found to have violated the administration of justice.

Zhao Kai stood on the wooden box again, "There is one more thing, the shelter needs a large number of workers, and there are 5 copper plates per day for food, and if you are willing to come to me to sign up, you also need a large number of female workers who can cook, and they also need to eat 5 copper plates per day." ”

The noise of the homeless people sounded again, including a meal, and there was money to take, such a cost-effective thing is not encountered every day.

Immediately, some of the displaced people raised their hands to sign up, and then other displaced people who were watching also raised their hands.

Zhao Kai instructed the officers and soldiers to set up a table to write down their names, and each assigned a waist card with his name.

Xu Xiaoxiao watched the incident go quite smoothly and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the girl who was almost bullied came to her with a cower, and the girl was holding a pink sachet in her hand.

"Sister." The girl lowered her head shyly and muttered to herself.

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and responded, "What's wrong?" Were you okay just now? ”

"It's fine." The girl hurriedly shook her head, "This is for you." ”

Xu Xiaoxiao took the sachet curiously, the sachet was exquisitely embroidered, and it looked like it was made by a clever person, "This is what you did?" ”

"Well, yes." The girl still lowered her head and whispered in response.

"What's your name?" Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly became interested in the girl.

"My name is Ah Ling." Ah Ling twisted his body and raised his head to look at Xu Xiaoxiao from time to time, revealing a look of adoration.

"Ah Ling, what a nice name. Do you want to come and work at my sister's place? Xu Xiaoxiao touched Ah Ling's head and said gently.

Ah Ling was stunned at first, but after a while she eased up, she raised her head slightly, revealing a pair of smart eyes, "Can I go too?" ”

"Of course, we recruit female workers of no age." Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but chuckle a few times.

She thinks the little girl in front of her is too cute, and her craftsmanship is good. After recruiting her, maybe something will happen.

At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the officers and soldiers in armor hurried towards the city.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the officers and soldiers who entered the city, and a trace of uneasiness burned in his heart, could it be that something big had happened?

After Zhao Kai dealt with the matter of registering the long-term worker, he walked quickly to Xu Xiaoxiao's side, "Little girl, the prince is urgent, I need to go back, and the matter here will be handed over to you." ”

"Is something big going on?" Xu Xiaoxiao asked uneasily.

"It's a good thing, there is news from the front, the sea has passed the storm, it can be transported normally, and the Western merchants are about to arrive in Xin'an City." Zhao Kai said with a happy expression.

Westerners? Could it be the Western fleet that Chu Qing said?

I had heard Chu Qing talk about the cooperation with Westerners for more than 20 years, but because of the constant turmoil on the sea, the ships could not move, and the trade was cut off.

Now that the Westerners are coming again, it means that there are things that the Westerners need in Xin'an City.

Why did they risk their lives to come to Xin'an City and to conduct trade?

Xu Xiaoxiao felt that this was a business opportunity that could not be missed, and hurriedly stopped Zhao Kai, "Lord Zhao, just leave the registration to Steward Lin, can I go with you, I also want to see what that Westerner looks like." ”

Zhao Kai was stunned, the business and trade between Westerners and Xin'an City has always been known only to people in the military camp, and he has also heard Chu Qing mention this matter in recent days, if he rashly agrees, will it cause trouble to the prince.

But remembering what the little girl had done for Xin'an City, and he couldn't bear to turn her away, he gritted his teeth, "Okay, I'll take you with me." ”
