Chapter 14: Early Morning Talks

"Uncle!" Meng Changqing followed the official and walked in quickly, and saw that Wei Fangyun was already waiting in the study.

"Changqing, sit down." Wei Fangyun said to the two people behind Meng Changqing: "The two of you are also sitting." ”

Meng Changqing hit half of his ass on the bench, "I don't know if my uncle called me here at this moment, what is the so-called matter?" ”

"It's been two days since you came to Liangzhou Mansion, but I haven't had time to have a good chat with you because of the busy affairs of the barracks."

"As an official of the imperial court, my uncle should put state affairs first."

Wei Fangyun grabbed a handful of peanuts for her, "I'm going to the barracks in one hour, so let someone call you, there are some things to take care of you." ”

"Uncle, please speak."

"Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve." Wei Fangyun said, "I guess you're going to leave for Beishan County today." ”

"Yes."

"When you return to the city from the camp today, you must have seen those outcasts at the gates." Wei Fangyun continued: "Those are the people of Beishan County.

This place in Beishan County is just outside the border line of the Yan army, it is different from the neighboring Weishan County, there is no cover in front, and if you are not careful, you will be invaded by the Yan army, so no people want to stay in that place. ”

Meng Changqing asked: "Since Beishan County is my territory, why don't you build a city wall or send troops to garrison it?" ”

Wei Fangyun looked at Meng Changqing and stopped talking.

"Uncle might as well say it directly."

"Before the Meng family army forced the Yan people back, that place had always been a battlefield, and the city walls and garrisons you mentioned were just behind Beishan County."

Meng Changqing's hand in his sleeve clenched his fists, and he couldn't wait to give the prince another punch, otherwise he would be sorry for what happened to her now.

"Since it was a former battlefield and there is no military defense, why are people willing to move?" Her mood remained fairly stable.

"Wherever anyone goes willingly, they have committed a crime and have been sent there, with the intention of letting them build the wall, but after many years, it has not been built.

Changqing, the first thing you have to do when you get there is to build the city wall. ”

Meng Changqing still couldn't figure it out.

Since they were criminals who were sent to the past, and there was a city wall to block them, how did those people get to Liangzhou City? A group of skinny people can pass through the city wall in the rear, wouldn't it be easier for the Yan army?

"Uncle, let me ask you more, how did those people get outside Liangzhou City?"

"I gave permission." Wei Fangyun said, "It's winter, and the Yan people, like us, are busy dealing with the Jiemaru savages, and generally won't attack us.

Those people in Beishan County, although they are sinners or descendants of sinners, can let them freeze and starve to death, which is really pitiful.

I instructed the soldiers guarding the city to let in some of the old and weak if there were too many people surrounding the gate, let them beg all the way, and when they came to the outside of the Liangzhou Mansion, they would give them some relief food, and then send them back. ”

"Why don't you directly distribute relief food in Beishan County, and also create trouble for the people in other counties."

"Virtuous nephew, let's not hide it, this move is not to help the people of Beishan County."

The lights burst out, and the flickering fire shone on Wei Fangyun's face.

Meng Changqing understood.

Not for relief, but for dragging them to death.

What about her Meng Changqing? Did you send her to Beishan County to drag her to death?

The emperor shouldn't have such hatred for her, it must have other intentions.

"Changqing, you are here, that place is called Beishan County, and the emperor has high hopes for you. Whether those people are saved or punished is up to you. Wei Fangyun patted Meng Changqing's arm, "There is a general judge surnamed Sun waiting for you outside the door, I have instructed him to transport some stored grain and salt from the treasury to you." ”

Meng Changqing stood up and saluted Wei Fangyun, "Thank you, uncle." ”

"Go ahead."

Meng Changqing saluted and stepped back, but was stopped by Wei Fangyun when he walked to the door, "Changqing." ”

"Does my uncle have any other orders?"

"Stay safe and bring plenty of people around." Wei Fangyun said, "The emperor looks forward to your achievements in Beishan County, don't lose your father's face." ”

Meng Changqing looked calm on the surface, nodding and retreating half a minute, there was no rudeness, but in fact, he had already scolded in his heart.

The emperor is also a psychopath, looking forward to her achievements, so he threw her outside the city walls and locked up with a group of exiled people, with ideas! What an idea!

When she went out, she happened to pass by the official who delivered breakfast, and a large bowl of fragrant noodles passed in front of her.

This uncle was really slamming the door, and called her over at three o'clock, and didn't even give her breakfast.

I didn't walk a few steps out of the study door when I heard someone shouting from behind: "Master Meng! ”

Meng Changqing turned around and saw a young man with two red marks on his face, "I'm sorry Lord Meng, I accidentally fell asleep while waiting outside the room just now." Under the order of the prefect, Sun Xiang opened a warehouse to allocate grain to you. ”

"I'm tired of Sun Tong's sentence."

"Please come with me, sir."

Sun Xiang took the servants and moved thirty stones of grain from the warehouse, and one stone of salt came out, he registered it in the account book, and handed it to Meng Changqing a grain scout, "Please check the grain." ”

Meng Changqing inspected every stone, and inspected it from different positions to confirm that the grain was not moldy and the grain was full, so he signed and sealed the account book.

When Wen and Liang were chattering, the grain had already been loaded into the backyard of the post house.

Wen Shi looked uneasy, and instructed Xiao Dai: "Go find a few large oilcloths to cover them." ”

"Mother, mother, let's go to breakfast." Meng Changqing said, "After breakfast, we have to go." ”

The noodles eaten for breakfast were made by Meng Changqing after he came back from the government and specially ordered the messengers of the post house to make them.

She also poured a few drops of sesame oil and ate it fragrantly.

"I don't know what happened to the kid you brought back yesterday?" Wen said, "She still needs to take medicine, and it may be inconvenient to bring it back to Beishan County, so it is better to ask Dr. Hu to take care of it for a few days." ”

"That's the same idea, I'll tell Dr. Hu later."

By the time they had finished their breakfast, the carriage and the entourage had been prepared.

The twelve Imperial Forest Army, the thirty soldiers brought back yesterday, plus the people brought by Meng Changqing's own family, together with the carts, horses, grain and grass, were so crowded that they couldn't fit in the backyard, so they had to be pulled to the street in advance.

Meng Changqing went to see Dr. Hu, and it was inevitable that he would lose a few words, knowing that he was hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, Meng Changqing never took his unpleasant words to heart.

As she left, she spoke to the child.

The kid still didn't react, just bit his finger and looked at the location of the kitchen.

At the beginning of the morning, Meng Changqing set off with people to Beishan County.

They went out through the east gate, and when they went out again today, they could not see any of the homeless people outside the gate.

"The prefect has already sent those people back to Beishan County last night."

The person who spoke was Li Ting, who was ordered to send them off.

"Go along this road, it is Yangmen County, out of the city wall of Yangmen County, you will arrive at Beishan County."

There were many of them, and they were still carrying grain and grass, so they walked slowly, and when they arrived at the gate of Yangmen County, it was already Shenshi, that is, three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Lord Meng." Li Putou came to Meng Changqing's carriage, "Out of this gate is Beishan County, and my subordinates will be sent here." ”
