In the early spring of the first year of Antai, the court finally debated a result over the expansion of the harem for the royal family.

The marriageable women in the families of officials above the seventh rank were all sent to the palace for the draft, and the gentry of the various gentry were allowed to participate in the draft.

As soon as this decree was promulgated, the government and the opposition were shaken, and the major families responded one after another, calling the emperor a great grace, and all the women of the right age were sent to the palace to participate in the draft.

There are people who have no women of the right age, so they select excellent women from the side branches and send them to the palace.

All of a sudden, incense cars were all over the official road, and the cars that followed were full of makeup.

The team dressed up to travel is in great contrast to the group of refugees who are far away from the official road.

Countless young women, with beautiful dreams of the new emperor who had just ascended the throne, rushed to the palace.

Some people are happy, some people are sad, and the same drama is being staged all over the Baiyun Country.

…

At the beginning of spring, it is the busiest season for farming, and the refugees from the north who learned that the fighting had stopped were homeless.

The government issued a circular to assign refugees to various places to clear the wasteland, and implemented strict household registration management.

Civilians are not allowed to leave their places of residence without the road regulations issued by the government, and the offenders implicate the neighbors on the left and right to distribute the Beihu City.

In order to levy taxes and grain, the imperial court divided the common people into prisons and imprisoned them on the land.

A large number of people who fled from the north filled all parts of the south, and even the previously remote and untouched places were classified as refugees.

The county magistrates of all parties sat in the county hall and became a safe place for refugees with a finger of their hand.

Refugees who are allocated wasteland do not have to pay taxes for two years.

As a result of this initiative, homeless refugees had to drag their families with them.

Clearing land is the most urgent thing for refugees who have just been allocated land.

…

In the remote and impoverished Xin'an County, because of the massive loss of population and the destruction of the household registration by the fire, the refugees assigned to the entire Dujiang Province accounted for 70% of the entire prefecture.

Located in the most remote part of the northwest, Dujiang Mansion is sparsely populated and poor, and it is the capital city with the most refugees in the entire Baiyun Kingdom.

And the poor refugees assigned to Xin'an County are all poor and white, and there is no oil and water to squeeze.

All of them are old, weak, sick, and disabled, just because the adult men in the family have been charged for food in order to keep the family alive.

The imperial court was only responsible for dividing the people, and did not even distribute a single seed or a farm implement.

A group of people assigned to Xin'an County is equivalent to being banished, and even the county order is omitted, and the village chiefs assigned to each village are directly responsible.

In the entire Xin'an County, the biggest officials are Ruan Guangyu, the mayor of Yetong Town, and Shen Zhengqi, the mayor of Baohu Town.

The two towns, because of their proximity to the city, were not affected by the disaster, but lost half of their adult males.

In order to ensure the interests of the townspeople, the two mayors were reluctant to settle the refugees in their respective towns.

The two privately divided Xin'an County into two parts, with separate jurisdictions and no interference with each other.

The two waved their hands at the same time, pointing all the refugees to the former Xin'an county town to fend for themselves.

As far as they are concerned, they have no money or food, and the more than 5,000 refugees who have come here are a huge burden.

No one cares about it, they're just a small mayor, how can they manage so many mouths.

As long as they don't open the way for these people, this group of people will not be able to get out of Xin'an County.

As for the tax, how many people will be alive in two years to collect it.

The two mayors of the town were both people who had escaped from Xin'an County early, and they learned the truth from their mouths, and they also resolutely sent people to the original county seat.

…

The refugees who were banished to Xin'an County wept and cursed when they saw the few houses that had only been built improvised.

"God won't let us live, and the officials won't let us live, this is to force us to death!"

"Since ancient times, there has not been a good thing for those who are officials, and they don't treat us as human beings at all."

"What if we don't look at it from others, we can reverse this day!"

A group of refugees came to their second homeland full of hope for life, but reality gave them a hard slap in the face.

……

"Mother, what should I do?"

The boy muttered helplessly to himself, his bamboo-like figure swaying in the cold wind of early spring.

His mother died and his sister sold herself in exchange for a chance to live.

If he is also dead, how can he be worthy of the life that his mother and sister exchanged for their lives.

"Baby, it's better to live than to die, with Auntie's family!

We also have a good look for each other, there are mountains and rivers here and we can always find a way to live. ”

The woman who walked with the boy dragged a tent of filthy and thin children, all in tatters, unable to distinguish between men and women and their ages.

"Auntie...... I...... I do! ”

Ling Hongcai agreed with red eyes, he suffered all the way alone, but fortunately met Aunt Liu's family.

It's a pity that Uncle Liu went to fill the army for a bucket of thick noodles, and if he could hold on for a few more days, the family would not be separated.

Just like his sister who sold his body, it is difficult to have a chance to meet again in this life.

Liu glanced at the already crowded room, where many people were still fighting for a spot, and she stopped knowingly.

"Hongcai, let's go find another place to stay, there are too many people here and it's inconvenient!"

Ling Hongcai followed in Liu's footsteps, and most of the refugees were crowded in one place, and there was no place to stand.

With the thin bodies of the three of them, they will be thrown out soon, so it's better to leave as soon as possible.

A group of refugees who were still scolding the heavens and the earth just now, at this time, fought for a place to block the wind.

The powerful ones are even more torn together, venting all the grievances in their chests.

At the beginning, a few people fought, and later a room of people fought in groups.

Pulling hair, scratching face, tearing clothes, riding on the body and slapping him.

The three members of the Liu family, who had not yet found a place to stay, heard the big movement here, ran over to see it, and were so frightened that they retreated again and again.

"This ...... This...... Why is this still fighting! Ling Hongcai stammered and pointed at the humanity that had been scuffled into a mess.

If his mother and sister were so spicy, wouldn't they have to die and sell themselves?

"Quick...... Fast...... Let's go, we will fight here in a moment, and none of us will be opponents. ”

Liu, who reacted, pulled a child with one hand and used his strength to feed away from this group of madmen.

I can't fill my stomach, and I still have the strength to fight, I'm really poor and crazy.

…

Ling Hongcai, who was being dragged to run, realized that he was running in the wrong direction, and hurriedly spoke up.

"Aunt Liu, we ran in the wrong direction, and we're all out of the city."

"Whew...... Call...... That's right, this place is full of yin qi, and there must have been a lot of deaths, so I can't stay any longer.

Look at those people, they only have red eyes after a while, they must have been possessed by something.

We went to a nearby village to settle down, and as long as we didn't go out of Xin'an County, no one would care if we lived or died.

Flowers, keep up! ”

The three of them, who were thin as a wind, were all carrying a broken burden behind them, and no one could catch up when they ran.

A few refugees looking for wild vegetables in the field looked back and forth strangely when they saw the three of them running hulala.
