"Gotta get it!"

Chen Sanlang rode on a horse, alongside Xu Jun. There are few horses in Jing County, and a group of officials can only follow them on foot, with neat steps, and it seems that the spirit is not bad.

These servants were all strong men recruited later, and the original class of old fritters had long been withdrawn.

Xu Jun changed into an official uniform, dressed up in men's clothes, with bright eyes and red lips, a heroic posture, and his eyebrows frowned slightly, secretly worried about Chen Sanlang.

As soon as the procession left the city, the gates were slowly closed and the city began to be sealed. On the city wall, Zhou Fencao stood and watched Chen Sanlang and the others leave the city with a serious expression.

This time, Chen Sanlang decided to handle the work of accepting and settling refugees himself, and let Zhou Fencao sit in the county government office, responsible for pacifying the local residents' hearts and order. Zhou Fencao originally wanted to go out together and assist the helpers, but someone had to guard the city, and there was no time to separate.

"I hope that this time I can get through it safely, the sky is pitiful, and I will bless Jing County ...... well."

I closed my eyes and sighed, feeling only tired.

This world is like the sea, Jing County is like a boat, when the sea is surging, the storm is sinister, how can a small leaf boat be alone?

The trend of the times is destined to be impossible.

Outside, Chen Sanlang clamped his legs, spurred the horse, and raised the speed. Seeing this, Xu Jun followed at the same time, and the team behind him began to trot.

About a quarter of an hour away, there was a fast horse galloping in front, wearing the clothes of Chen Jiazhuang's soldiers, and when he came to the front, he turned over and dismounted, and came to meet:

"My lord, Chen Wu came to tell the old lady on the order of the old lady, and on the side of the manor, all the staff started work, set up dozens of porridge sheds along the way, lit a fire and put rice, and cooked porridge in a big pot. Just wait for the refugees to come. ”

Chen Sanlang said: "I know, you go and tell the old lady, and Mr. Zhou to take care of them, the porridge shed must be built perfectly, and it can accommodate as many people as possible." ”

"Yes. ”

Chen Wu hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just that there is not enough grain in the village. That porridge may be very thin......"

Whenever there is a disaster, whether it is the government or the local wealthy households, the main way to provide disaster relief is to cook porridge, on the one hand, the porridge is easy to prepare, and it is also convenient for the refugees to eat, on the other hand, more importantly, if you cook rice, you have to consume how much rice and grain, you can't afford to provide it at all. However, if the porridge is too thin, it is porridge water. Inevitably, there will be a resurgence from refugees, which may be counterproductive in the end.

"It's okay, just put the rice almost ready, prepare oil and salt, and manpower, and prepare to kill the fish. ”

"Kill fish?"

Chen Wuyi was stunned, I don't know why, where are the fish.

Chen Sanlang instructed: "You just go." ”

Chen Wu was ordered. Turned over and got on the horse and galloped back to Chenjiazhuang.

The team moved on. Finally, I came to a place called "Huaizi Slope". This place is a pass that enters the county seat from the land, with two hillsides and an official road winding through it.

"Array, flag!"

Chen Sanlang ordered.

"Yes. ”

The officials immediately lined up in an orderly manner, and there were only more than 20 people, which was a little thin. Fortunately, this official road is not very wide, and there are hillsides on both sides, which is just enough to seal the intersection.

There is also a vertical pole of the official servant, and on the head of the pole a flag is opened, and on one side is written the two characters "Jing County"; on the other side is written "Chen" of Douda.

There is a wind blowing. Banner hunting, but add some momentum.

Under the banner, the officials pressed their hands on the hilt of the knife at their waists one by one, looked straight into the distance of the official road, did not say a word, and waited silently.

Thousands of refugees are coming, and it is simply all over the mountains. No one dares to guarantee what will happen at that time, and once it is not handled well, even such an extreme scenario as "killing officials and rebelling" will occur.

Today is cloudy, windy, and quite strong.

I don't know how long it took, but there was some movement in the line of officials, and the sharp-eyed Dengshi saw that the head of the person who had been pressed by black pressure before, like a slow but unstoppable torrent, was coming along the official road.

Refugees, refugees are coming!

The Xia Yu Dynasty has been peaceful for a long time, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, how rich and prosperous it is, who has seen how many displacements of misery?

When they saw the ant-colony-like ragged and numb crowd dragging their children and daughters, the officials suddenly felt a little hairy in their hearts and secretly felt compassion.

The crowd was loud and cried incessantly, as if a picture of misery and suffering slowly unfolded on this official road, without any disguise or decoration.

Chen Sanlang's expression did not move, and he shouted: "Sound the gong!"

A servant on the side was stunned, and quickly picked up the big gong he carried with him, stepped in front, and waved his arm to strike the gong.

Dangdang!

The sound of the gong immediately attracted the attention of the people at the forefront of the refugee group.

This official was specially selected to have a loud voice, and he opened his throat and shouted: "Attention, attention, all the villagers and elders of Yongzhou, Lord Chen, the county commander of Jing County, heard that everyone came from afar, and he specially came here to greet him!"

While shouting, the gong is struck.

Buzzing, as if being thrown into a boulder, the slow crowd was in an uproar, which seemed unexpected.

Refugees, uprooted and helpless, no matter where they go, are basically not welcome. Not to mention welcome, in the eyes of many people, refugees are hated locusts, and everyone can't catch up. In order to survive better, they often rely on each other in the process of fleeing, forming large and small groups, and the strength of many people is great.

If there is a group, there will naturally be a leader.

When these thousands of refugees fled Yongzhou, because some barbarian troops occupied the path to Zhongzhou, and heard that the border of Yangzhou had been loosened and opened, they had to turn around and run to Yangzhou, and they were able to enter the territory smoothly. After a long journey, under the toil, I am really hungry and eager to eat soil. Everywhere you go, you drink water and eat leaves when you encounter trees. As for meeting people, it is inevitable that they have also done a lot of things to rob food and drink.

This move provoked the suppression of Hu Weiwei, who roared back and forth, expelled refugees, and killed bad people to set an example. Therefore, the refugees did not dare to go to Nanyang Province, but came to Benjing County. I don't know who said the news, Jing County does not have Huweiwei to guard the town, the troops are empty, and there is a lot of food.

On the way here, the leaders of several groups have already held a meeting to discuss that they want to gain a foothold in Jing County to beg for a living, if the Jing County Decree does not allow it, and send people to drive them away, they will fight on the basis of reason, but if they can't fight, they will make trouble directly, and there will be no way to survive anywhere else anyway.

Whoever stands in the way of his own life will take his own life!

However, I never expected that the county magistrate of Jing County led a group of officials to come, not to expel and block, but to welcome.

What's going on?

The refugees couldn't help but look at each other and mutter.

"Don't waver, everyone, this is a trap, definitely a trap!"

In the crowd, there were several burly men, dressed quite neatly and neatly, with weapons around their waists, who were obviously the leaders of the refugees.

One of the men with a scar on his cheek had a glint in his eyes and said viciously.

The man next to him was a little shorter and full of beard, and immediately echoed: "That's it, Brother Li, I have heard that Chen Yuan, the county magistrate of Jing County, is a big corrupt official, who is unkind to the official, corrupts the law, and plunders a lot of money but uses it to build his own family estate." How can such a dog official be trusted when he speaks? We might as well rush over together, take him down, and take him as a hostage, and it will be easy to enter Jing County. ”

A man in the center, wearing an earth-colored cloth shirt with a square face, thought for a while, and said: "We are refugees, not rebels, if we go to arrest officials and rob the city, wouldn't we be no different from that barbarian army?"

The scarred man said: "But Brother Li, we have nothing to eat and drink, are we just waiting for death in vain?"

Brother Li said: "But didn't Lord Chen say it, he is here to welcome us, don't act rashly, just follow him and see how it is? ”

"Not bad. ”

"Brother Li is right. ”

Several leaders chimed in.

The man with the scar and the bearded man glanced at each other, was silent, and said secretly in his heart: This matter should not be rushed, anyway, when it comes to the county seat, as long as Chen Sanlang does not settle well, then there will be a chance to do things. How can Xiaoxiaojing County accommodate thousands of refugees?

Thinking about it, I no longer objected.

At this moment, Chen Sanlang stepped forward immediately and shouted loudly: "I am Chen Yuan, the county commander of Jing County, and I have already built dozens of porridge sheds in front of me, putting rice to boil porridge, just waiting for everyone to eat and drink." ”

He was full of energy, and his voice was a little louder than that of the loud servant.

"However, once you have entered the county, you should abide by the law and discipline, keep order, and do not act recklessly. Otherwise, don't blame the official for being ruthless and serving the punishment. ”

This is a sweet jujube.

As soon as the refugees heard that there was a porridge shack in front of them, that there was something to eat, and that there were any objections, they shouted and urged the team forward.

At this time, those leaders felt that the people were surging and could not be delayed any longer.

As a result, the vast group of refugees began to follow Chen Sanlang's team and surged again, but there was no panic scene of scrambling, for fear of violating Chen Sanlang's words and annoying him, so he removed the porridge shed, and then drank the northwest wind.

......

Today is cloudy, windy, and quite strong.

Zhou Fencao had been standing at the top of the city wall for a long time, standing like a stone, as if he wanted to see the distance and see how Chen Sanlang settled the refugees......

If this matter is not settled, he will not be at ease.

Gotta get it!

The sound of horses' hooves and the galloping of a fast horse, judging by its clothes, should be a patrol sentry. When he came to the city, he shouted: "Mr. Zhou, I saw three big ships sailing at the pier outside the city, with flags, and they were Tiger Weiwei. ”

Zhou Fencao's heart trembled, and he hurriedly asked, "Are they docked?"

"Not really, but I can't go back to the water, I don't know why. ”

Of course, Zhou Fencao knew that these Huweiwei were clearly from Nanyang Mansion, and they walked along the waterway and came to the outside of Jing County. They didn't go ashore and enter the city right away, but waited for an opportunity—

Refugees are flocking, and it's time for chaos in Jing County!

These tiger guards are the vultures that are ferocious by nature, and when the qi of Jing County is exhausted, they will immediately swoop down and eat them!

Zhou Fencao sighed gloomily, tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes, but they were soon dried by the wind. (To be continued.) )
