"Hey~"

After listening to Mai Dong's story, Xia Ning couldn't help but sigh deeply.

This world is really difficult.

Now she doesn't ask why no one cares about such stupid questions, this is a feudal dynasty, not the modern society she lives in.

She has been here for a month, and she knows a little about today's situation, and today's Eastern Chu State belongs to a state where the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and natural and man-made disasters are continuous.

The emperor is stupid and incompetent, and the traitorous ministers are in charge, which naturally breeds a lot of blood-sucking moths, and the people above only care about their own interests, and they don't care about the life or death of the people below.

And the inaction of the people above will also lead to the style of the people below who are cheating and coveting comfort, anyway, the good things can't be their turn, and they don't want to be contaminated with bad things, so they just put it badly.

Therefore, Xia Ning can more or less guess what they are thinking, for them it is a thankless task to suppress bandits, and the most important thing is that it will cause a lot of losses to themselves, so they are naturally even more unwilling.

In addition, the situation in various places is continuous, and there is a phenomenon of disorder in the world, and now it is too late for the state capitals to be busy sweeping the snow in front of their own doors, so why not take care of the situation in other state capitals?

In order to protect their own one-third of an acre of land, the state capitals are basically secretly preserving their strength, and if it is not a particularly important matter, they will definitely not easily damage their own interests, so they directly ignore the villagers' requests for help.

"Are they going to come with us, then?"

Xia Ning then asked Mai Dong again, now that the escort team has entered Nanban, it is estimated that they will be able to enter the county seat before dark to hand over the documents, and they are still following now, obviously planning to follow along?

Mai Dong nodded and said, "I think so, they didn't have a purpose before, they just wanted to escape to Nanban to avoid those bandits, and now that they meet our team, they probably also want to have a companion, so that they can take care of them in one place." ”

No matter where they go in Dongchu, everyone lives in clans, and the more people there are, the more prosperous the people are, and of course they also hope that there will be more fireworks in the place where they settle, so that there can be more people in this way.

The most important thing is that Nanban is the most desolate place in Nanzhou, in order to allow the wasteland here to be cultivated, the local government has also opened a lot of measures to benefit the people, such as outsiders to settle in Nanban, do not need any resettlement fees, just need to take the household registration in the county registration information on the line.

In addition, the villagers can own as much land as they can open up wasteland, and they only need to hand over two layers of grain every year.

Although the conditions are very good, everyone knows that the land of Nanban is sandy land with no grass, and there is no food at all, so so far, not many people have moved their families to settle in Nanban.

Those who lived in Nanban were either criminals exiled by the imperial court, or people who were forced to flee here as a last resort.

"Okay, anyway, there are few people in the southern barbarians, and it will be more lively if there are more."

Xia Ning didn't have any objections to their choice, and she also hoped that Nanban would have more people in the future, and everyone would work together to reclaim this desolate land into a prosperous place.

Suddenly, a commotion erupted from a crowd not far away, and the group of refugees gathered together as if they were watching something.

"Stop fighting~"

"Oh, stop it."

"Zhang Laosan, hurry up."

"Dad, please stop fighting~"

There was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone began to dissuade them.

Xia Ning couldn't help but stand up, stretching her neck to look around, but her vision was completely blocked by the group of villagers, and she couldn't see what was happening at all.

"Looks like someone is fighting?"

Song Shaoqin secretly held her hand, so as not to rush over without paying attention to her.

"Don't look at it, the elders in their village will take care of it."

Xia Ning looked down at the hand that was being held, crying and laughing, "Don't worry, I won't go over." ”

Although she is sometimes nosy, not all idle things will be done, and she also depends on the good of people.

"Second lady, Aunt Xu has already made lunch over there, let's go eat first." Mai Dong hurriedly reminded him.

Hearing this, Xia Ning instantly missed the food cooked by Aunt Xu, "Let's go, eat!" ”

**

After lunch, Xia Ning and Song Shaoqin couldn't take a break, and the two of them took Song's father and immediately convened the core members of the team for a small meeting.

The main thing is to negotiate a charter, such as the next settlement issues, and how they should survive the upcoming winter after settling down.

An hour later, the escort team set off on the road again, and the fleeing villagers immediately followed behind the procession, perhaps they themselves knew that this behavior was not good, so they did not follow closely, but walked not far behind.

This time, the direction of the escort team was no longer in the wilderness, but towards the crowded county town.

The Song Yunxi sisters followed Xia Ning to sit on the new electric tricycle, with Li Jiang and Huzi in the driver's seat in front, while Song Shaoqin sat with his father and second uncle, because they still had to discuss some things, so the women and men were in separate cars.

"Those children are so pitiful~"

Song Chuying put her hands on her cheeks, and a pair of dark eyes looked at the villagers who were struggling to follow the road behind the car, and there were a few children of seven or eight years old in the crowd, who were sweating profusely and following their parents.

They are not like the children in the escort team, they can still carry or carry them along the way, and they are not even led by their own parents, they walk completely on their own.

Of course, it's not that their parents are really so ruthless and don't feel sorry for their children at all, but that this group of villagers who fled out, except for children under the age of eight who have no baggage, the rest of them almost without exception have baggage.

Some carry burdens, some push carts, some carry bamboo baskets, some carry baskets, and some carry sacks on their shoulders, and even teenage children have a small basket on their backs, or a small cloth bag on their backs.

In short, no one has any hands idle, so they really don't have extra hands to lead the young children.

“.”

Xia Ning and Song Yunxi were silent, this matter is really difficult to answer, they do have some conditions and abilities now, but they can't help anyone who is pitiful, right?

Then there are more poor people in this world, and they can't save the world, right?

Even Xia Ning, who has a golden finger, doesn't dare to swear that she can save the world, not to mention that she doesn't have such ideas and a broad mind at all, after all, she is an ordinary little person.
