Bafang climbed up to the top of the wall, and Meng Changqing was standing on the city wall looking north.

"Young Master, what are you looking at?"

"I'm looking at the great rivers and mountains."

"Madame told you to go back to lunch."

"Let's go." Meng Changqing ran down the slope and walked towards the pit where her mother and mother lived.

On the way, I saw the guards leaving in groups with the new servants.

"How many people are here this time?" Meng Changqing asked.

"I heard Captain Zhang say that there are more than 5,000 people, and the roster has been handed over to Laicai."

"There are still people." Meng Changqing said.

"Why is this happening?" Bafang was naïve, he couldn't figure it out, "As the prefect, no one listens to the orders of Lord Wei, and if you give the servant a vacation, everyone will come out?" ”

"If you are an official, where can you have a neighbor next door to be trusted. You can also think of the weight of labor in Liangzhou and the suffering of servants. Meng Changqing suddenly turned around and asked, "Bafang, if you become an official in the future, will you be a corrupt official or a clean official?" ”

"I'm an official?" Bafang himself doubted, "Can a person like me still be an official?" ”

"Why can't you?" Meng Changqing said, "You are not really a subordinate with Laicai, you will also study with me since I was a child, and when you are successful in your studies one day, I will send you to the scientific examination." ”

Bafang laughed, opened his mouth to take a bite of the dusty wind, and turned his head sideways several times.

"Young master, don't make fun of me, you should go to the test, maybe you can get a top prize."

Meng Changqing said: "I can't pass the exam, so I'm counting on you." ”

"Don't count on me, you might as well count on the riches, he ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a man not far away, who was walking with Zuo Datou, and kept saying: "You give it to me, and I will give it to him again." ”

"Get out!" Zuo Datou was upset by the man, and he took out the whip and was about to beat, "When the master doesn't know your mind, have you thought about it!" ”

"Go ask what's going on."

"Hey!" Bafang ran over quickly, "Brother Zuo, what's wrong?" ”

"This guy is not right, I'm teaching him a lesson." Zuo Datou said, "He introduced a man who looked at the location of the well, and he insisted that I ask the lord to give him the one or two pieces of silver, and he would give it to the man who drilled the well." ”

When Meng Changqing heard this, he thought this person was very interesting.

"What's your name?" Meng Changqing asked.

As soon as the man lying on the ground wanted to raise his head, he was yelled at by the big left: "Go back to the county master!" Don't look up! ”

The man was frightened, "If you go back to the county master, my name is ...... The villain's name is Chi Xing. ”

"How did he get tangled with you?" Meng Changqing asked the big left.

"When he saw that I was leading Mr. Feng Shui to do things, he thought I could talk."

"Brother Zuo, go and get busy with your business."

Zuo Datou is not at ease, Meng Changqing and Bafang are not very old, "In case he doesn't know how to bump into you......"

Meng Changqing: "I have a knife with me. ”

"What did you say to Mr. Feng Shui?" Meng Changqing asked the person lying on the ground, "How much money are you going to give him?" ”

"Tell the truth!" Bafang suddenly roared, startling Meng Changqing.

"If you go back to the county master, I plan to give him five hundred wen."

"Really?" Meng Changqing said: "I don't believe it. ”

Chi Xing lay on the ground and trembled, "Yes...... It's 300 texts. ”

"You called Mr. Feng Shui at this price?" Meng Changqing asked.

"Yes."

"I will send someone to ask Mr. Feng Shui, if what you told him is really this price, and the location he chooses really digs up water, then the remaining 700 Wen will be given to you."

Chi Xing was pleasantly surprised, and kowtowed in the direction of Meng Changqing one after another, "Thank you county master, thank you county master!" ”

"Young Master!" Bafang trotted to keep up with Meng Changqing, "Why do I can't understand what you do more and more?" How can you still help with this kind of taking advantage of others? ”

"He can't keep the 700 Wen I gave him, more than a dozen people live in a cave, where can he hide?"

"Even if he can't hold it, what is your motive? You're not going to save those 700 words, are you? ”

Meng Changqing: "I let him see the sinister nature of the human heart." ”

Zhang Yuan brought back more than 5,000 people twice, and with the previous servants, there are now more than 26,000 people in the camp.

Five or six thousand of them were women.

It is not much different from the 30,000 people that Meng Changqing wanted.

In the evening of that day, the third group of servants returned, bringing back more than 3,000 men.

The number exceeded 30,000.

The greater the number of men, the greater the logistical pressure, and now all the servants were divided into groups of 600, and the total number of guards in each group was 1,800.

Of the soldiers sent by Hongjia County, only 200 people were left in charge of logistics.

This number of people is definitely not enough, Zhang Yuan and others naturally want to help.

No matter what Zhang Yuan thinks in his heart, things can still be done in the end.

It was dark outside, Meng Changqing was dialing the abacus in the county office, she was calculating her strength, and Laicai suddenly rushed in, "Young master, there is a person in the stove room who is dizzy, I don't know what the situation is." ”

Meng Changqing opened the bookcase, took out the silver needle box inside, and asked as he walked: "What kind of person is it, have you been injured?" ”

"It's a woman, who just came today, and when she was standing in line outside the stove room, she suddenly collapsed."

"Still angry?"

"I still had it when I came."

When Meng Changqing arrived, the fainted woman had already been carried into the stove room, and several people surrounded her, and Meng Changqing couldn't see the people on the ground.

"Let's go!"

Laicai shouted loudly: "Let me go, the county lord is here!" ”

The crowd quickly dispersed, and the three guards cleared Meng Changqing's way.

Meng Changqing came to the person who fell to the ground, only to see that this person's face was pale, and there was no color on his lips at all, although the whole person was wrapped in a wide cotton jacket, it could be seen at a glance that she was very thin.

She reached out and found that the person's breathing was already very weak, so she quickly pricked the acupuncture point with a needle, and then checked the pulse.

I knew she was starving.

"Go to the southernmost stove room and put a bowl of gruel here."

Meng Changqing spoke, and immediately a guard took an empty bowl and ran over there, and soon a bowl of hot porridge was handed over to Meng Changqing.

Meng Changqing called a woman who was watching over and asked her to open the mouth of the person on the ground and pour porridge soup into it.

A small half bowl was poured, and the people on the ground woke up quietly.

"Wake up, wake up! Meizi, you're scared us to death! The woman hugged the man who had just woken up.

Meizi didn't know what was going on, and after she was dazzled, she almost fainted again when she saw the person in front of her.

I saw the person in front of me holding a needle and covering his face, only his eyes were exposed, "Who are you?" She was frightened and powerless.

"This is the county master, he rescued you back, and he fed you half a bowl of porridge just now." The woman holding the plum said, "You have to kowtow to the county lord and thank him well." ”

Meizi really wanted to sit up on her knees, but was stopped by Meng Changqing, "Don't move if you're weak, don't look at the others, you should eat, and go back to sleep when you should sleep." ”

Meng Changqing handed the porridge in his hand to Meizi, "Drink it up." ”
