No. 5 Reclamation Camp,

Qin Yi finished the day's work and embarked on the journey home with his companions exhausted.

The companions talked about the amount of wasteland that was sorted out today, and imagined the harvest after the crops in the wasteland grew, and they were full of life and laughter along the way.

When I deliberately spared a little road, I passed by the side of the camp,

He saw many half-grown children clinging to the wall, looking at everything outside with expectant faces.

I don't know when Qin Ge will be like these children,

Thinking so, he returned to the camp with a little regret.

When I returned to the camp, I got the two nests of the division and a can of hot soup, and I was about to go back to the dormitory for dinner, but suddenly I heard a voice from Zhang Changzu: "Qin Yi, here, come over quickly......"

Zhang Changzu also held three wowotou and a can of hot soup in his hand, but emotionally, he seemed to be more excited than him.

Qin Yi was very satisfied with his current life, and he was still grateful to Zhang Changzu in his heart, so he ran over and said, "Brother Zhang, what's the matter?"

"Let's go to class. ”

"What class?"

"You'll find out if you follow me. ”

The two of them came to a large house together, only to find that there were at least three hundred strong men gathered here, all of whom were intently watching a man dressed as a half-scholar talking.

The reason why he is said to be a half-scholar is because although this guy is wearing a long robe, his lower body is indeed short and muddy......

"Therefore, we are all lucky, if there is no Your Majesty the Fifth Watch, we don't know how miserable our fate is.

Now we at least don't have to be frozen, we don't have to be whipped for no reason, and we don't even have to worry about being suddenly taken away and buried as slaves...... You say, shouldn't we be grateful to His Majesty Wu Geng?!"

Someone below shouted: "It should be, it should be......"

"I pray every night to thank Your Majesty. ”

"What's the use of gratitude?"

"You have to pray that God will bless him. ”

"It's useless to pray, you have to carry a knife to protect him......"

"Yes, take a knife to protect him. ”

"Yes, knife him!"

"Knife him, knife him, knife him ......"

Qin Yi was sweating all over, aren't these people crazy?

If it weren't for Zhang Changzu's hand, he would have turned around and left at this time.

Zhang Changzu pulled Qin Yi to a corner, sat down quietly, and listened while gnawing.

Half of the scholars slapped the table, and everyone immediately fell silent.

"Okay, everyone be quiet, who should talk about their experience today?"

......

In Wucheng Palace, Zhou Ji bowed to Huang Feihu and said, "My lord, the Qin mission group has set off." ”

Huang Feihu didn't raise his head and said, "Who are the people who went?"

"The chief official is Du Liren, the grandson of Jian Zheng, and the adjutants are Feng Sheng and Huang Sheng, Feng Sheng is Feng Xi's nephew, Huang Sheng...... It's a son of the Huang family......"

After speaking, Zhou Ji kept silent,

Huang Feihu didn't speak, just read quietly,

After a while, he raised his head and said, "Just this matter, you don't come to me, just say it......"

Zhou Ji took a few steps forward and said softly: "The number of cantonment camps outside the city has exceeded 100......"

"100,000 strong men, are there so many refugees in the southeast?"

He knows the cantonment camps in Wu Geng Lane, each battalion is composed of a male battalion, a female battalion and a kindergarten camp, the male battalion generally has 1,000 people, and the female battalion and the kindergarten camp are uncertain, often depending on whether these men have families.

A hundred cantonment camps is 100,000 strong men who can work, which is a very considerable number.

Zhou Jidao: "There are a lot of refugees in the southeast, but there should only be about 50,000 people coming over at present, and more are fugitive slaves!"

In fact, the statement of fugitive slaves is not accurate, in fact, there are more nobles who have recently moved north, and the imperial court has also found out about this, so a capitation fee was set up at the pass, basically if there is no legitimate reason, if you want to go out of the customs, you have to pay a poll tax, the price is several times higher than the price of the slaves, these slaves can basically only be dealt with at a low price, and some even simply throw it away.

Of course, although the nobles threw away the slaves, it does not mean that they have to give up the ownership of the slaves, but at present, most of these nobles are not in the court, and no one dares to touch Wu Geng's mold.

It's just that in private, people still habitually call them fugitive slaves.

Of course, there are some people left, who are veritable fugitive slaves, but still no one dares to go to the cantonment camp to make trouble.

"The number of people is a bit too much. A trace of dissatisfaction flashed on Huang Feihu's face, after all, so many people came, but his number of believers did not increase much, which seemed to be a little different from what he said at the beginning.

"Then do you know what religion these people are believing in now? Do they simply believe in Wu Geng, or do they have no faith at all?"

A hint of crampedness flashed in Zhou Ji's eyes: "I don't know!"

"You don't know? What did you look up?"

Zhou Ji wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, he almost forgot that his master is now a god, and his needs are different, it seems that he has to do the relevant investigation as soon as possible, otherwise he will be eliminated sooner or later.

"I found that the cantonment camp was well stocked. ”

Huang Feihu stared at him with burning eyes: "And then?"

Zhou Ji smiled bitterly: "General, I mean, it's not easy to feed so many people, where does so much money and food come from?"

Huang Feihu said: "Isn't it self-sufficient?"

"General, you are fool...... No, I'm just starting to say it's just the beginning, and we'll have to wait until next year......

Huang Feihu said impatiently: "Okay, okay, what have you been thinking about all day, we are now in a cooperative relationship with Wu Geng, don't you always explore the old emperor of other people, it won't look good if you are caught in pigtails...... If you have the leisure to do this, you might as well help me to check their faith, and it is better to get the work done first......"

Huang Feihu's mentality is still good, if you don't take the initiative to give, then I'll take it myself...... Hum......

"General, I think there's a big problem here. ”

"If there is a problem, it is also Wu Geng's problem, what does it have to do with us?"

Zhou Ji is a little helpless, his own general is good at everything, but sometimes he is unwilling to study the conspiracy deeply, and often falls into passivity, whether it is Wu Geng's seizure of power that day, or now the Empress Dowager Huang is being used, the root cause is here...... The point is that he doesn't know it yet......

"General, if there is a real problem here, I am afraid you will have to solve it in the future. ”

"Well, that kid is not a thing, he can do this kind of thing. Huang Feihu thought so: "Don't worry, I will pay attention." ”

That being said, on the face of it, he doesn't take it very seriously.

Zhou Ji was not at ease at all, but he had no way to control Huang Feihu's will, so he could only secretly make up his mind that he must secretly find out where Wu Geng got so much food.
