Chapter 535: Disaster Relief
Shen Yun didn't misread the Immortal Mansion. Sure enough, the immortal mansion lords of the surrounding counties got this idea.
Two days later, the eldest lord of Chunwang County sent his master to collect taxes.
His momentum was very loud, sitting on a bamboo sedan chair, surrounded by hundreds of heavily armed immortal rune soldiers.
It's a pity that their group didn't even touch the gate of Zhuangzi.
They had just stepped onto the open space outside the moat, and the long-waiting Divine Arrow Battalion appeared from the parapet wall. And also heavily armed.
"Boom la la ......"
Shoot your bow with arrows, and point your arrows at them.
Under the scorching sun, the tips of the arrows shone with a blinding cold light.
The master was so frightened that he didn't even dare to get off the sedan chair, and screamed, "Go back, go back quickly."
He took the lead in running, and the immortal rune soldiers who accompanied him naturally lost their armor and ran faster.
In the blink of an eye, there was a lot of equipment left on the ground.
When these wastes were gone, Elder Wang ordered the troops to be withdrawn. He returned to the main courtyard worriedly and returned to Shen Yun. At the end, he admonished with a bitter face: "Lord, I'm afraid that we will offend the Immortal Mansion ruthlessly." They are not good at it, and they will definitely come back with double revenge. ”
"If we accept their blackmail, will they let us go?" Shen Yun asked rhetorically.
Elder Wang was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook his head: "Judging from the location of the checkpoints on the official road, they are only afraid that they have already had the intention of bringing the disaster victims to us. Moreover, if they want to cover up the disaster, they can only bring the victims to us. ”
When Ziber proposed at the elders' meeting to prepare for the soup kitchen, he took two people to the official road to check it out. The snake and scorpion mind of the Immortal Mansion was immediately revealed.
So, it's he who thinks badly.
"I'm sorry, lord. He hurriedly got up and clenched his fists to confess, "It's that I just thought about being afraid, but I didn't expect that the Immortal Mansion had long regarded us as fish on the chopping board." In front of them, we cannot retreat a single step. ”
The Immortal Mansion couldn't accommodate them for a long time. Regardless of whether they retreat this time or not, the treatment of them by the Immortal Mansion is the same: as long as they retreat this time, the Immortal Mansion will definitely be entangled like a bone appendage. With their greed, they will not stop if they do not squeeze the last copper plate in the Zhuangzi dry. Then, they secretly instigated the surrounding victims to come and "eat the big households", and after the wrong victims, they killed people and killed them; if they still ignored them, the Xianfu would directly lead the victims over, or "eat the big households", kill people and destroy their homes, so as to vent their hatred in their hearts.
For the first time, Elder Wang hated them.
What happened next was exactly as they expected. Five days later, on the official road, the victims poured in like a tidal wave.
From last year's insect plague to this year's spring and summer drought, they have already reached their limit. When I heard that there was food here, everyone's eyes turned green, and there was only one voice in their hearts shouting "Go, go, go". So, as soon as the checkpoint was removed, men, women and children, they all rushed to this side.
Uncle Ding had already led people to keep an eye on the movements on the official road. Therefore, when the victims arrived, Ziber and the others had already prepared.
In the soup kitchen in the spring, everyone has accumulated a lot of experience. And this time, there is one more new content, that is, the red list.
As early as two days ago, the Wenshitang copied out the 1510 "Jinfeng" of Shili and Baxiang on big red paper and posted it on the wall outside the Wenshitang. The name of the red list also comes from this.
At the same time, Su Laosan and the others rode horses and went to villages and villages in ten miles and eight towns to vigorously publicize the red list.
All of a sudden, the eyes of the neighbors were caught. The villagers in this area gathered in the Wenshi Hall again to ask what the red list was for.
Li Yi was waiting for them to ask. It was announced that, according to credible information, a large number of victims were on their way. Zhuangzi prepared to build a porridge shed to relieve the victims. The red list is full of the names of the well-wishers who sponsored this soup kitchen. If more than half of the people in a village have their names on the red list, then the village will be included in the patrol area of the Zhuangzi patrol during the soup kitchen.
The villagers organized the villagers to take out half of the harvest and "enter the service", and this is what they begged for. Hearing this, they all praised and praised it, and they all kowtowed in the direction of Zhuangzi to thank them.
"In addition, people whose names are on the red list can participate in soup kitchens. And, it can be exchanged for three times as much labor. After Li Yi helped them up, he then announced, "For example, if an adult man whose name is on the red list helps to do a day's work during the soup kitchen, then, afterwards, he can exchange it for three adult men to work for a day, and if it is an adult woman, he can also exchange it for three adult women to work for a day, or three adult men to work for half a day." ”
The villagers were very curious: "What can the exchanged laborers be used for? Can they be used at any time?"
Li Yi shook his head lightly: "The labor of exchange will be arranged by our Inquiry Hall." What is done is also unified. This year, we are looking for workers in the hall to plan a canal. If you have enough workers in your village to build a canal, then you can apply to our office to participate in this canal repair. If it's not enough, then you can only write it down for the time being and save it for next year. ”
It must be enough wow! In the spring, the villagers have witnessed it with their own eyes. The credit of Da Zhuangzi is absolutely trustworthy. After asking how to participate in this soup kitchen, they could no longer sit still and got up to say goodbye. They hurried back to the village and organized the villagers to sign up for the soup kitchen.
As a result, the problem of insufficient manpower for soup kitchens has been satisfactorily resolved.
When the army of victims arrived, the porridge shed was set up on the side of the road, and the porridge rice was fragrant. Those who give porridge, maintain order, publicize labor for white flour steamed buns, labor for grain seeds, and see a doctor and apply medicine...... Everything is in order.
At this time, Elder Wang and Elder Wu, who had been ordered to hide in the shadows, really saw some people mixed in the crowd. Unlike the vast majority of the victims, they looked at the vegetables on their faces, but their steps were calm and powerful, and their minds were obviously not on the fragrant white rice porridge, nor on the labor to exchange white flour steamed buns and grain seeds. The most important thing is that they are evasive, and from time to time they say cool things like "don't be stupid, how can there be such a good thing".
Of the three things the lord said, these guys all hit. Therefore, they are definitely the meticulous work of the Immortal Mansion in the ranks of the disaster victims. In order to secretly cause evil, and encourage the victims to make trouble.
Elder Wang and Elder Wu hated each other so much that their teeth itched. waved his hand and motioned to the soldiers of the Divine Arrow Battalion who were ambushing together to keep their eyes open. These guys, with bad intentions, find one, and immediately arrest one.
The plan for the capture has long been predetermined: the soldiers of the Divine Arrow Battalion are also dressed as disaster victims. When a suspicious person is found, he quietly leans over with a squad as a unit, and then knocks the person out and takes him away at a lightning speed.
When the real victims saw what they were eating, their eyes were about to be closed, and where could they still see what was going on? So, they didn't notice that anyone was taken away so quickly.
