Chapter 276 Demons are rampant

"100,000 people!"

Lu Xiangsheng, who hadn't slept for a day and a night, was stunned when he heard the news.

"Zhongtang, report to the cabinet."

Zhang Jingtian's legs were already trembling.

"Now there is a long line from Baoding Mansion to Hejian Mansion. The subordinates are estimated to be less and not more. ”

"Now most of the people are still gathering in Hejian Province, and all the county towns and cities in Hejian Province are closed, just to drive the displaced people to our side. There are about 30,000 or 40,000 people who have entered Baoding Mansion. And...... And ......"

"Say!" Lu Xiangsheng Peng slapped it on the table.

"Those who came to Baoding Mansion yesterday also began to move to Beijing."

"Zhongcheng, can't we stop it?"

"What did Bai Han say?" Bai Han was arrested in the middle of the night today and last night and taken to the prison of the governor's yamen.

"Bai Han has been shouting grievances." Lu Xiangsheng didn't have time to see him, he sent Sun Ningyi there.

"He's been crying out for injustice?"

"Zhongcheng, it doesn't look like a fake, and he has been shouting injustice. said that the homeless people were stealing chickens and dogs in the city, and they also killed people in order to grab a few steamed buns. He had to put the murderer in prison before he used his servants to drive the exiles out of the city. He also said that the excerpts for you and the guard have been written, but I don't think there are many people and haven't reported it. ”

"What about the door bell of the Qianmen gambling house in Baoding Mansion?"

He said that he had no contact with the gambling house's Men Zhong Men Lang at all, and at the beginning of this year, he arrested Men Dalang's younger brother in prison for robbing the finances. He said that the eucalyptus scrolls were all available and could be accessed at any time. ”

I don't know why, Bai Han, who refused to admit his guilt, made Lu Xiangsheng's heart feel relaxed. Bai Han was the first batch of students of the Royal Academy of Administration he presided over, and he was also one of the youngest county magistrates. In the repeated household evaluations, they were all on the top, and they were transferred from Shanxi by themselves. If something happens to him, he can't say that he will directly slap his academy in the face.

"What else did he say?"

"He said that he would never run, and now if the situation is so bad, and he is the prefect of Baoding Mansion where the governor yamen is located, no matter what, please ask Zhongcheng to agree to let him work first, and when this matter is over, he will go to the prison to wait for the crime."

"Zhongcheng, no matter how you say it, he has an inexplicable relationship with this matter, and his subordinates also persuade him not to be troublesome, and the plainness of the province will increase variables."

"Did the door bell of the gambling house catch it?" Lu Xiangsheng didn't answer, and asked himself.

"The patrol was not caught, and no one was seen by the time I went." Sun Ningyi naturally would not miss this person.

"Okay, then let him go back first. Tell him that if he wasn't really drunk, I, Lu Xiangsheng, would give him a drink to apologize. If there's something behind his back, then don't blame me for being heavy-handed. ”

"According to the process of disaster relief, from today onwards, we will start disaster relief in Beizhili!"

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't wait anymore, no matter what, even if it was a conspiracy to show the carriage and horses, he needed to continue. 100,000 displaced people, if this is gathered under the Jingshi, then the result is not easy to say.

"Zhongcheng!"

Lu Xiangsheng knew what everyone was going to say, so he waved his hand.

"Say what you say wherever you go. Yesterday we were still discussing the expected bumper harvest for this year, which is not said. But for now, there is no more talk of the harvest. How can these 100,000 people say that they are also the people of the imperial court, whether there is a disaster or not, whether it is a man-made disaster, that is the next step for the imperial court, and we now have only one way, that is, disaster relief. ”

"Count the grain in the three regular warehouses in the house, and be ready to release the grain at any time."

"Ning Yi, if you go to find a place where you can disperse and settle 100,000 people, one place is definitely not enough. Beizhili is so big, first draw it out as a disaster relief place, separated by 10,000 people and 10,000 people. ”

"Liu Guan, you go to contact the Imperial Medical Department, it's a hot day, and none of us have seen a precedent for disaster victims on a summer day. These 100,000 people gathered together, and the plague arose, and you and I couldn't survive. ”

"Commander Zhang, prepare to block people. First block the road of the displaced people in the direction of Jingshi, and then guide them. ”

This is Zhang Jingtian's dilemma.

The local army has long been cleaned up by Zhu Youzhen's transfer. Originally, he was based on the 1,000 white pole army that had been allocated, forming a garrison of less than 5,000 people. But to face 100,000 displaced people, it is difficult to think about it.

"Zhongtang, I only have less than 5,000 people here, if it doesn't work, I still have to ask Jingying for help."

"No matter what you do, you deal with it first. Originally, the defenders of Baoding Mansion and various county towns were all transferred back first, and as for Baoding Mansion, they were handed over to their own officials. ”

This is also a way to do it, anyway, it's just a homeless person, and the big deal is to close the city gate.

"I'll go into the palace."

Lu Xiangsheng also knew that the matter was serious.

"It is estimated that there will be some more manpower in the palace. Guys, let's think about something better. Yesterday, everyone was still short of manpower. The newly cultivated fertile land last winter, plus the one that we did not allot, is this not a gift to us? ”

Zhongcheng said cheerfully, and everyone politely entertained, but the sorrow was still obvious on everyone's face. 100,000 people walking through the fields where autumn grain is in full swing, what kind of scene will it be? The thought of this makes everyone's heart heavy.

"Zhongcheng! Sue his mother Shandong, what the fuck is going on! "Others are fine, Zhang Jingtian directly burst into foul language.

Just when Lu Xiangsheng was ready to start his bizarre summer resettlement of Shandong refugees, the inside of Laojun Temple was still full of people coming and going.

A few days ago, it was still a stone in the shape of a Buddha, but today it has been draped in red and hung with colors, surrounded by prayer buildings. The following is to enshrine this melon, fruit, incense, candle, five animals and six animals. The coarse sandalwood gave off a somewhat choking smell, and bursts of green smoke had filled the entire Buddhist hall.

In the center, a woman with outstanding posture reclines on a lotus seat, and next to her kneels four pairs of boys and girls dressed in white.

Patriarch Li of Lijia Village last night was also guided into the Buddhist hall by a young man.

"The childless old mother is above, Li Lao'er of Lijia Village pays a visit to the old mother and the holy daughter."

"Believe in the old mother, always rich, no worries back to the vacuum. What's the matter? The saint didn't seem to open her eyes, and said softly. To the sound of the saint speaking, the boy and woman shook the bell.

"Lao Er has already discussed with the 18 townships outside Baoding Mansion to borrow the road for the old mother and saint for seven days."

"That's very good. Avoid a bloody disaster, and your merit should be the first. Come here......"

The saint was dressed in white, and her body was graceful when she looked up. Patriarch Li didn't dare to raise his eyes, so he could only walk forward with his head down.

The holy woman walked barefoot from the lotus platform and walked in front of Patriarch Li. Even more bluffing, Patriarch Li's face was red-faced.

"The Holy Maiden of the Childless Mother is above." Patriarch Li could only say that.

"It's just a stinky skin, the patriarch takes it." As she spoke, the saint waved her hand, and a red fire burned out of her palm, and the saint put a piece of yellow paper in her hand and lit it, and when it burned to ashes, it fell into the cup in the table.

"This cup of holy water is extra for you, protecting your life for thirty years."

"Thank you." Old man Li stretched out his hands and took them tremblingly.

"Don't be embarrassed, gold and silver are things outside the body for my mother. Vacuum hometown, why do you need to be so troubled. I promised you one or two taels of silver for one acre of land, a total of 200,000 taels of silver, and the old mother has already agreed with Lao Jun, and the night after tomorrow will be transported back to Lao Jun before the Buddha statue, and you fools will take it. ”

The Holy Maiden's lips had almost touched Patriarch Li's ears, and a burst of sky-high fragrance emanated from her body. As soon as he accidentally raised his eyes, Patriarch Li saw a white greasy patch, so he had to close his eyes with a red face.

"And."

The holy woman had already waved her hand, and the lightly fluttering sleeves waved over Old Man Li's face.

"Don't say that the old mother is inconsiderate of you. Ten pounds of gold have been buried under the big tree in front of your house. This is an extra from your mother. In addition, the old mother also poured the spiritual liquid into the orange river in front of the village, and when the crops were replanted, as long as they were irrigated with river water, they would naturally get the spiritual fruit. Don't say that my mother has treated you Baoding people badly. ”

Satisfied, satisfied.

Isn't it just a group of homeless people who have eaten some green seedlings, anyway, the government has seeds, so it's a big deal to work hard. What is this little effort worth? Two hundred thousand taels of silver. I'm going to see what else those people can say.

What's more, when Patriarch Li thought of the ten catties of gold in his family, his heart jumped out of joy.

"Thank you, mother, thank you. I also hope that my mother can stay in my hometown for a long time. ”

"Humph!"

The saint snorted softly.

"There are many ignorant people in the world, and the old mother and everyone are going to return to their hometown in vacuum, what are they doing here? If you don't see that all living beings are suffering, why do you have to go through this experience? Hurry back and become your ignorant world. Seeing the old mother, but not blessed, it's also pitiful. ”

Have pity on me?

As soon as Patriarch Li went out, he drank the holy water of the old mother.

"The old man is sixty-five years old this year, and he can live for thirty years, isn't that fairy, what is there to be pitied. What's more, I still have those ten catties of gold in my hand, it's still a little late, if I can meet such a good thing when I am young......"

Seeing Patriarch Li leave, the young man at this time reflexively walked in.

He put his arms around the waist of the holy woman, and reprimanded the virgin and woman in front of him, and said:

"Go to the door and look, the saint is tired, and no one will see her today."

The saint lay in his arms giggling.

"You're good, you're very majestic at this time."

The man was jealous, and after a long time, he said:

"I also know that you are coquettish in front of the third child of the Kong family, this is an old peasant in the countryside, worthy of you?"

"Yo, I'm jealous."

"Don't underestimate these villagers, without them, how can we survive? We are them, and they are us. ”

"As for the third child of the Kong family, it's ridiculous for his dog eyes. One million taels of silver, that's the price of inviting my aunt and grandmother to go out. As for the ten catties of brass, even if it was their aunt's reward. ”

"After a thousand calculations, there is actually a man who sells people here." The young man's face was covered in white greasy, and he spoke in a sullen voice.

"I almost attracted people from the government, and the concubine went to take care of him after a while."

The saint's face, which was still gentle just now, became extremely fierce at this time.

"Take care of him."
