Early the next morning, just as the victims outside Xiaogang Village were still hesitating whether to stay here, the messenger sent by Xiao Jiu arrived in the army of victims.

"Lord Xiao can accept some of you who have elderly people and children into Linshui County."

"But if you are obsessed and still choose to rob hard, don't blame the thunder for falling on you."

As the voice of the messenger sent by Xiao Ziying fell, there was a commotion at the scene.

Yesterday, this group of victims also thought of using crowd tactics to break through the defense line of Lingshui County and enter the looting.

But the relentless artillery fire has shattered their dreams.

Originally, they thought that these characters who would trigger the heavenly thunder would be extremely cold-blooded, but at this time, the words of the envoy made their eyes a few more wings.

The victims who dragged their families with their families seemed to grasp the straw that saved their lives, and they all looked at the people with tears in their eyes.

However, the men who abandoned their wives and children on the way to escape the famine were full of disappointment.

However, Xiao Jiu did not ruin their desire to live, and promised to set up a porridge shed in Xiaogang Village for free, and everyone could receive three days of dry food.

In this way, those who only accepted Xiao Jiu's family and dragged the disaster victims, and those who were resentful, had no reason to attack.

If you go south to Yuzhou, you may be able to try your luck, and continuing to die in Lingshui County is more like a dead end.

Not to mention the kind of magic that Xiao Ziying used yesterday, even those victims who had been allowed to enter the country would immediately turn against them.

As porridge sheds were spread out outside Xiaogang Village, the process of receiving the victims was unusually smooth.

The people waiting to receive the gruel and dry bran were now consciously lined up outside the porridge shack, and the militia contingent that had come to maintain order looked like decorations.

And those who were allowed to enter Lingshui County were all hugging and crying at the moment, waiting for the soldiers of the Xiao Zi Battalion to check one by one and then register on the register.

They will be arranged to go to the official village set aside by Xiao Jiu to open up the wasteland and cultivate.

or they were resettled in the villages and towns of Lingshui County and received a meager share of land.

But they have to bear much more taxes than the original residents of Lingshui County.

But even so, these desperate victims still invariably regarded Xiao Jiu as their savior and thanked Dade.

Looking at the victims who kept kowtowing in front of him, Xiao Jiu still looked cold.

In my heart, I can't help but feel how humble the aspirations of ordinary people in this era are.

The tax he levied on them was already four out of ten taxes, which was one percent more than the taxes collected by Great Xia now.

Not only do they feel that they are being brutally exploited in the face of such high taxes, but they also thank themselves for giving them a chance to live.

In fact, what Xiao Jiu didn't know was that outside Lingshui County, in addition to facing the official taxes of the imperial court, these people also had to bear a lot of rent.

Most of the victims are destitute peasant households, and even if they have land, only a small part of them need to rely on landlords for rent.

When they borrowed the land, they became tenant farmers, and in addition to the taxes of the imperial court, they had to give most of the land harvest to the landlords.

It's not that no one has thought about cultivating wasteland, but these farmers who lack food and clothing can't even guarantee three meals a day, so where can they have the strength to destroy forests and clear up wasteland?

For dozens of days, a steady stream of victims poured into the territory of Lingshui County, and some of the remaining lonely victims also continued to flow south with the large army.

With the departure of the victims outside Xiaogang Village, Xiao Jiu can be regarded as resolving the crisis without danger.

A rough estimate of the number of newly admitted victims is around 20,000.

In addition to women and children, fewer than 10,000 men are men.

There are only a handful of people over the age of 50, because most of them have died on the way to escape.

The Great Xia Dynasty did not have the habit of grounding, and the men and women in this group of disaster victims were good laborers.

And the rest of those half-grown children, Xiao Jiu had a different idea in his heart.

He planned to set up a new-style school in Lingshui County to teach them writing and some scientific knowledge in their previous lives.

Although these children can't bring any benefits to Xiao Jiu in the short term, they carry the future and hope on their bodies.

In this era, reading and reading is a luxury for the rich.

Like some children of the common people, they can only achieve their own class leap by gaining fame.

Since the crossing, Xiao Jiu has actually known more than 200 commonly used characters for writing letters.

But Xiao Jiu knew that if a regime or group was all rough people who had not developed the wisdom of the people, they would not be able to govern a region on their own.

Now his Lingshui County is basically in a state of autonomy, except for the taxes paid to the county government.

These boys who are like blank sheets of paper will be his best drawing board and the most faithful roots.

In addition to imparting knowledge to them, Xiao Jiu also planned to adopt the Spartan system of elimination of the last position.

To create an atmosphere of healthy competition, so that they can develop their mental and physical abilities in an all-round way.

Of course, in the process, they must also be constantly instilled with the idea of loyalty.

This kind of loyalty will not be loyal to Great Xia or the emperor, but will only be loyal to Xiao Jiu himself.

After setting the tone for the school, Xiao Jiu began to draft notices and distribute them to all parts of Lingshui County, and he will also serve as the first principal of Lingshui School.

As soon as the report came out, the entire Lingshui County instantly set off a fierce upsurge.

Especially when they heard that the school would provide free food and lodging, the people were all ready to send their children to the county seat as soon as possible.

Those who had just entered Lingshui County were even more excited.

After they entered Lingshui County, although they were allocated the land given to them by the government, all the food in the family at this time was lent to them by Xiao Jiu.

If the family can open less mouths to eat, it is really important for them.

In this way, with the opening of Lingshui School, a large number of students poured in for a while.

The parents of these teenagers may not expect to be able to gain fame or be promoted to become rich, but only hope to know a few more words, and they will not be coaxed at will like them in the future.

Unlike what these parents thought, Xiao Jiu, who attended the cutting ceremony, looked at the groups of malnourished teenagers and children in front of him, and frowned deeply.

Xiao Jiu came to the high platform in front of this group of children, without too much nonsense, just briefly explained some of the rules and regulations of the school.

Then he directly asked some soldiers of the Xiaozi battalion to carry a basket of flour made of fine grain.

For their group of children who have grown up in hardship, nothing will be more impactful than these delicious foods.

While these young men were eagerly receiving the bread one by one, the teachers who had been invited to teach and read were full of sorrow.

When Xiao Jiu asked them to teach, they were still a little happy, thinking that this was a benevolent act of respecting teachers and valuing education.

But when they heard that Xiao Jiu asked them to write those deviant textbooks, their brows instantly twisted into a lump.

"How should I teach this?"

Many people sighed silently in their hearts.
