Chapter 42: It was my bad idea
Soon, under Fang Yunchen's command and dispatch, a large team left the Cold Valley Mine Cave and slowly marched in the direction where Ancheng was located.
Fang Yunchen took Yang Laoqi to the front, Zhao Wu was in charge of the middle of the team, and Gao Dahai was in charge of the back of the palace.
The biggest challenge for Fang Yunchen now is how to properly resettle these people.
When he came, he was thinking about what to do next.
After thinking about it, Fang Yunchen didn't plan to let them return to the village where they used to live, the land there was not fertile in the first place, and now it was completely destroyed by the wealthy clans.
And it's not easy to manage because it's scattered like before.
Therefore, this time Fang Yunchen decided to play a big game, and directly pulled everyone to the large wasteland west of Ancheng, built a residence to rest on water conservancy, and cultivated farmland.
However, the risk of doing so was not small, so after the team set off for a long time, Fang Yunchen did not reveal the destination of their trip.
Looking back and seeing the Hangu Mine gradually disappearing from view, the people who were silently moving forward were suddenly very confused about the future, and no one knew what was waiting in front of them.
However, along the way, Yunchen personally sat in the town, but there were no moths, and he did not encounter any obstacles.
It is estimated that Fang Yunchen's thunderous blow just now made the four wealthy clans a little confused, and it was impossible to come up with the next countermeasure for a while.
When he was about to arrive in Ancheng, Yang Laoqi suddenly came over with the boldness, and asked in a low voice to Fang Yunchen: "My lord, where are so many people going to be placed?" ”
He knew many of these people, so he took the liberty of asking for them.
Fang Yunchen smiled slightly and replied, "It's not simple? First of all, the north of the city is excluded, the land in the north of the city is originally very barren, and after such a toss, a lot of land has been abandoned, and it is not easy to reclaim. ”
Yang Laoqi nodded, he followed adults to dig in the field when he was a child, and he knew the situation in the north of the city very well.
I only heard Fang Yunchen continue: "Next is the south of the city, where not only is the terrain mountainous, but also too close to the Burial Dragon Ridge, wild beasts may rush out of the dense forest at any time to harass the people, and more importantly, there is not much land that can be cultivated in the south of the city, so it can't support so many people at all."
The situation in the east of the city is very similar, there is not much fertile land, and it is the lifeblood of large households, if the official brings so many people over now, they are afraid that they will rush up and fight with the official without saying a word. So...... There is only the west of the city. ”
"West of the city?"
Yang Laoqi's face was bitter, although there was a lot of wasteland, and the terrain was flat, which was very suitable for opening up wasteland, but ......
"Do you think that the west of the city is too close to Alkali Sheep Beach?"
Yang Laoqi hurriedly nodded and said: "My lord is wise, the people of Ancheng know that this alkali sheep beach is very evil, whether it is the old man or the young man, they are not willing to live in the west of the city, and the big families have also let the land there be barren for so many years, and they usually take a detour." If these people knew where the adults had chosen to settle there, they would probably cause trouble......"
"I see what you mean...... So I didn't say anything along the way, and when we got to the west of the city, they naturally knew. ”
Listening to Yang Laoqi's words, Fang Yunchen's gaze drifted to the west.
"Even though the Yin Qi of Alkali Sheep Beach is pressing, it is important to have a full stomach, there are more than thousands of mouths here, and it is a dead end to go in any direction except the west of the city."
Hearing this, Yang Laoqi's eyes trembled, and he couldn't find a reason to refute for a while.
He pondered for a moment, and he also felt that the west of the city was the only way out.
Alkali Sheep Beach was originally just a piece of alkaline land with a small area, and it was still some distance from Anseong.
In the midst of the chaos in the world, a shocking battle broke out in these areas, with countless casualties.
After the Great War, Alkali Sheep Beach was infected with blood, and the Yin Qi gathered into an evil place of death.
Originally, there were still some people living in the west of the city, but gradually the number of people inexplicably became fewer, and sometimes even a family of more than a dozen people disappeared without a trace overnight.
As a result, all kinds of strange talk followed.
For a while, rumors spread, and the three of them became tigers.
Since then, the west of the city has become a forbidden place in Anseong, and the people talk about it, even if they are hungry, they dare not easily come to the west of the city to hang out.
But as it stands, it's the perfect place to be.
And when they went there, the big wealthy families probably didn't have much opinion, and they were even happy to see it.
This is also the most important point.
"Your Excellency is wise."
Yang Laoqi clasped his fists and saluted, and after glancing at the west, he stopped speaking.
Now I can only trust Master Fang.
In this way, except for Fang Yunchen, everyone walked towards Ancheng with a worried mood.
By the time I saw the western gate, it was already dark.
After letting people light torches, Fang Yunchen led a large group of people into the city.
The originally lifeless county town immediately became lively, and noise could be heard everywhere.
After passing through the city gate, Fang Yunchen divided the team into two parts, and Yang Laoqi personally pressed the prisoners and dozens of carts of ore and stones, and returned to the county government first, and properly placed them.
There was really no place, so the ore was piled up in the compound of the back house of the yamen, anyway, there were not many people living there, and most of the wings were vacant.
And Fang Yunchen personally took all the people and walked towards the west of the city.
When he was about to reach the west gate, someone suddenly noticed that something was not right.
The county magistrate who is sitting on a tall horse, this is to take them to the west of the city!
There's no way to go.
So immediately some people shouted.
"I'm not going to the west of the city! I'm not going to kill me! ”
"That is, if you know it earlier, staying in the mine, starvation and exhaustion are better than going to the west of the city!"
"Let's go and find the county master's theory, I don't know who came up with the bad idea."
When everyone was noisy and shouting, and the team began to become messy, Fang Yunchen suddenly turned his horse's head and shouted angrily at everyone: "Silence! ”
This sound still used the vitality after the mutation, and the group of people who were closer to Fang Yunchen immediately felt as if they were covered by a pair of invisible big hands, and they couldn't open their mouths anymore for a while.
The sound continued to spread backwards, and the crowd soon fell silent.
"It was my bad idea......"
Fang Yunchen took the initiative to admit that some people's faces were immediately hot, as if they had been slapped hard.
"If you don't want to go to the west of the city, and you want to go back to live that kind of life without people and ghosts, you can naturally ...... If you want to go back, put your hands up now, and I promise that tomorrow morning you will be able to return to the tent where you have been living before, and squat in the dark tunnel every day with the dead body as your companion. Who? Raise your hands to Lao Tzu! ”
