Chapter 262: What Can You Count On?
In the county hall of Mayi County, a man who looks like an old man sits in a well-lit account room.
In the compound of the county government, there are littered farm tools everywhere.
In the past, these farm tools would not be littered here at all, but were rented and used by the people of Mayi County.
Now, almost fifty percent of the people in Mayi County have run away, especially those with some money, who have already managed to go to Yecheng.
Only those who have no money are still serving the one-third of an acre of land, and the grain grown on this little land is difficult to make ends meet after paying for it, let alone having the ability to rent farm tools.
Those who have money can run, and those who don't have money can only stay here, and they can't go anywhere.
If the Turks went south for the second time, they would only have room to die, and if they ran, they would also starve to death.
It's all dead, and the brilliance of the future life has long been lost in his eyes.
Dugu Yongye faced the defenders guarding the city outside the gate of the county guard's mansion, pretending to be Song Zhi's classmates in his early years, and was easily let in.
It wasn't until the sunlight of Song Zhi's reading book was blocked that he raised his godless eyes and saw a group of more than ten people standing outside the window in front of him.
The two at the head, although they are a lot older, can still recognize them as familiar faces.
"Mr. Song, long time no see." Dugu Yongye took the lead and said hello to Song Zhi.
Song Zhi twitched the corners of his eyes, unable to believe that he could see the person in front of him again.
This number ......
He knew that this person had already surrendered to Zhou Guo.
Song Zhi's first reaction was to get angry and scold him for eating inside and out.
But in the next moment, he automatically extinguished the fire.
Everyone has his own ambitions, and he may have his own troubles.
"Mr. Ma, the massacre of Bianzhou has been spread in the Qi country, and the people are all related."
"Luozhou is a border state between Zhou and Qi, and in the past month or so, it has received more than 100,000 defectors, half of whom have stayed in Luozhou, and the others have continued to travel to the southwest and choose cities to live."
"And he migrated to the Zhou State under the leadership of the local county guard and county order."
"The people's wish is nothing more than to live in peace, as a magistrate, if the local government can't let the people live in peace, then what is the meaning of sticking to the city?"
While Dugu Yongye was talking, Song Zhi's eyes that looked like an enemy were almost always staring at Dugu Yongye.
Knowing that he was no longer a welcome visitor, Dugu Yongye gave his farewell salute after speaking, lest he continue to rely on it and prick the eyes of his former friends.
"You stop."
When the group turned to leave, Song Zhi finally opened his mouth and stopped Dugu Yongye.
Song Zhi, who is already old, has long fixed many thoughts, saying that he can't say anything.
Otherwise, the huge Qi State, which has more than 20 million people, would not have only a few people who chose to migrate to the Zhou State.
Some persistence may be wrong, but if it is something that someone has insisted on all their lives, then as long as they persist until they are in the coffin, they have done nothing wrong in this life.
For example, foolishness.
Song Zhi really scolded Dugu Yongye with the great truth of loyalty and righteousness.
Dugu Yongye only listened silently, and had no intention of refutating, but was a little worried that Song Zhi, who was already old, would be angry with himself because he was too excited.
After Song Zhi scolded him for a long time, Dugu Yongye smiled bitterly and said goodbye.
Song Zhi also wanted to call the defenders of the city to come and arrest him, escort him to Yecheng as a traitor, and let the court punish him.
The main book, which couldn't hold back, finally opened a rebuttal:
"Mr. Song, Yecheng can't remember us local officials at all on weekdays, but when the eastern section of the Yellow River was in danger, Yecheng suddenly remembered us."
"Lord Dugu's family was almost drowned in the Yellow River by Yecheng......"
"It was His Majesty Zhou who personally rescued him, and even at the cost of a peace and truce, just to save the families of more than 1,000 local officials such as us who were taken hostage."
"The more ordinary people are, the more they can only rely on the state when they need hope, because they have no power to protect themselves."
"But Qi country, let the people of Qi country, what do they rely on?"
"In times of crisis, I can only wait for death, and I have to be burdened by classes on my shoulders on weekdays."
"The people of Shuozhou, thirty miles away, have no one to collect their bodies when they die, and they are also afraid to live, and they really can't see the afterlife, if the afterlife is a grassy civilian, what can they expect from the Qi country in the afterlife."
"On the contrary, Zhou Guo let the future generations see this hope."
"When his family was in danger, Zhou Guo did not ignore it, let alone talk about the so-called overall situation, the so-called loyalty and other empty words, but saved the lives of people in danger."
"We don't talk about the overall situation, nor do we talk about the so-called loyalty, but every move is the overall situation and loyalty."
"That's what the state means to ordinary people."
……
Dugu Yongye returned to the Yellow River, went down the river, and returned to Luozhou a few days later.
Then he returned to Luozhou, and as soon as he set foot on the land he was familiar with, an order sent from Beijing was directly handed to Dugu Yongye-
[The order of the Ministry of Officials, saying: Luozhou Thorn Shi Dugu Yongye, please be ordered to go to Jinzhou, routine annual rotation of state-level Thorn History, please go to Jinzhou within 15 days from the date of receiving the order, take turns as Jinzhou Thorn History. 】
Jinzhou is located about 400 miles south of Chang'an, which is considered the inner state in the central part of the Zhou Kingdom.
Dugu Yongye didn't understand why he had to transfer himself from Luozhou, nor did he tell him who the Luozhou Assassin Mansion should hand over.
With a head full of question marks, he decided to go to Chang'an to clarify the questions in his head before going to Jinzhou.
On the way to Chang'an, he gradually realized that he didn't have to stay in Luozhou all the time, and Luozhou could be as prosperous as usual, day after day.
It's like even without him, there won't be any problems in Los Angeles.
This made Dugu Yongye a little disappointed, but his body was very honest and he felt very relaxed.
On the third day after he left for Chang'an.
Song Zhi came to Luozhou by ferry.
As soon as he got out of the boat, he came to a large crowd of guards gathered around the riverbank.
Because on the shore of that section of the south bank, there are big characters hanging "receiving the migration of Qi people".
"This old man, the quota in Luozhou is full, after receiving the relief money, please follow the patrol to settle in Shangzhou, there are still large fields to be equalized." Lang Guan, who has been familiar with the affairs office, asked Song Zhi's surname and name, and at the same time recorded a golden tooth card.
This tooth card was sent directly to Luozhou from Beijing, and the words "Shangzhou nationality" have been embossed in advance, and after the tooth card is recorded and issued, the recipient can go directly to Shangzhou, and then settle down and obtain land in the newly opened villages in Shangzhou.
Everything went so smoothly.
Song Zhi just came to see what made Dugu Yongye change his mind.
But he was surprised to see that no matter how Lang Guan arranged, the other Qi people who had worked hard to cross the river were all very excited to accept it.
Also, for farmers, the land is the biggest good thing.
