Bai Zhilun said solemnly: "My Bai family is willing to be this bird, just like those people, they are all aimed at adults. If someone else comes, my Bai family is unwilling. ”

Meng Xingci arched his hand: "Thank you Bai Gongzi for lifting up, I have taken it all to heart." ”

Bai Zhilun smiled and said seriously: "Without further ado, I'll go and prepare now." ”

Meng Xingci watched Bai Zhilun turn around and leave, and lowered his head to look at Yutu.

How to resettle the more than one million displaced people is really a big problem.

Meng Xingqi was busy for several days, because there were still some homeless people among these displaced people, and she wanted to replan them and let them settle down in Hedong.

However, what Ling Huan was worried about still happened. Among these homeless people there were many people who wanted to sell their daughters to survive, and these people ran outside the clan and were willing to sell their daughters.

There is no need for Meng Xingci to advise on this matter, and no one from the major families dares to accept it. As we all know, Meng Xingci is a woman, if there is a matter of buying and selling women, Meng Xingci will not be able to bypass them.

Song Nian gave the matter back to Meng Xingci, who was angry and helpless. It is impossible for these people to change their deep-rooted ideas at once, and in the minds of many people, it is a matter of course for many people to sell their 'useless' daughters to give their sons a way to live.

Meng Xingci immediately sent a notice that when the fields were redivided, women also had a share, and it was equal to that of men. However, if someone buys or sells a woman, the eligibility to divide the land will be disqualified.

In this way, the daughter is no longer a useless 'money-losing goods', and being able to share the land is the biggest temptation for the people.

Meng Xingci knew that it was impossible for her to change too many people's minds on her own, but she would do it step by step and slowly.

Song Nian happily resigned to Meng Xing: "The adult's method is really effective, as soon as this announcement is issued, no one dares to sell his daughter anymore." After a pause, he frowned again: "It's just that there are still some widows who have lost their husbands and brothers, and there is no man in the family, so it is inevitable that they will be bullied." ”

What he didn't say was that there were even some women who thought it would be better to sell themselves into the clan than to live outside in the world. It is too difficult for a woman to survive in this world.

Meng Xingci said lightly: "That's because they don't have the ability to settle down, I have calculated, there are a lot of orphans in this flood, I will follow the example of the kindergarten in Suiyuan County, and then establish a kindergarten here to take care of these orphans." When the time comes, these women are hired to help take care of the children, and with income, they can support themselves and always survive. ”

Meng Xingci is willing to give the women a chance, but whether they can live on their own abilities depends on these women.

Song Nian nodded, looking at Meng Xingci with admiration and awe.

She really did it, changing the status and situation of women little by little. She may not know how many women's fates have been changed because of her.

Meng Xingci looked at Song Nian and said: "This time to resettle the displaced people, the scholars have made a lot of efforts, I also wrote back to Jiangnan, asking the Jiangnan family to donate money and materials, it should be there in a few days." When the time comes, you will have to work hard to count these displaced people and let them build houses. ”

Song Nian's expression was shocked, and he immediately said: "If this is the case, I am afraid that the current manpower is not enough." ”

This is a big project, and they have now taken in more than 3,000 displaced people outside the city. But if you really do the work, it is far from enough.

Meng Xingci's gaze fell out of the window, and he said faintly: "Not enough? Is more than a million people enough? ”

Song Nian was stunned.

Meng Xingci muttered to himself, "It seems that it's time to contact Shang Fei." ”

Of course, Meng Xingci didn't know Shang Fei's whereabouts, but she knew what to do to get Shang Fei to contact her.

Meng Xingci soon announced Cao Tianming's crimes in the name of the imperial court, and disposed of a group of subordinates who shot the displaced people with him, including Cao Tianming, all of whom were punished on the spot.

Meng Xingci knew that Shang Fei would definitely contact her when he saw this.

Sure enough, as Meng Xingci expected, on the third day after the official document was issued, Shang Fei appeared outside the city gate with people. He came alone, and walked out of the city alone.

Shang Fei noblely shouted: "Shang Fei of the rebel army asks to see Lord Meng!" ”

There were quite a few homeless people stationed here outside the city, and when the homeless people heard Shang Fei's voice, they all ran out.

They watched Shang Fei standing alone on his horse, straightening his back, this was the person who saved them from despair. It was the rebels who helped them stop the court's pursuit, and now he is here.

There were more and more homeless people who came to watch, Shang Fei ignored everyone's scrutiny, and waited for Meng Xingci with his head held high.

Meng Xingci had already told the guards at the city gate, and as soon as Shang Fei appeared, someone went to tell Meng Xingci.

Meng Xingci personally went out of the city to see Shang Fei, she rode a horse galloping, her cheeks were slightly red, and she didn't stop the horse until she was in front of Shang Fei.

As soon as Shang Fei saw Meng Xingci, he immediately turned over and dismounted, kneeling in front of Meng Xingci.

"The sinner Shang Fei has come to surrender to Lord Meng!" Shang Fei shouted loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly the sound of horses' hooves came from behind him. It was the rebels who heard that Shang Fei came to surrender, so they came to the rescue.

"Whoever dares to cure Shang Fei's crime, my rebel army will definitely set foot in Hedong Mansion!" The reckless man behind him shouted.

Shang Fei turned his head and scolded angrily: "Don't be rude, give me a retreat!" ”

"Big brother, you are not guilty, it was you who saved the displaced people, it was you who saved the people!" The reckless man shouted loudly with red eyes.

The rebel army behind him followed and shouted: "Shang Fei is not guilty, Shang Fei is not guilty!" ”

The homeless people on both sides also followed, and tens of thousands of people surrounded Meng Xingci and Shang Fei, surrounding them in the middle.

The homeless people couldn't help but plead for Shang Fei: "Lord Meng, Shang Fei is a good person, he protected us, if it weren't for him, we would have been killed by Cao Tianming a long time ago." ”

"Isn't Cao Tianming a sinner? If it weren't for Shang Fei, Cao Tianming would have killed more people. ”

The people were chattering for Shang Fei, and Meng Xingci was a little helpless.

She once heard He Zhengkun, the secretary of Dali Temple, complain, saying that during her detention in Dali Temple, the people who came to intercede for her were about to flood Dali Temple. He Zhengkun asked her, why is she so popular?

At that time, Meng Xingci was moved and proud, "Who can control the people's aspirations?" ”

Meng Xingci didn't expect that he would face such a situation one day.

However, what can she do with the people's aspirations?

Meng Xingci smiled helplessly, "Who said that this official wants to cure Shang Fei's crime?" ”

Shang Fei's expression changed, and he looked at Meng Xingci in astonishment.
