Chapter 185: Visiting the Wanderers
The people of the village here are panicked and worried that the displaced people will come to cause trouble. Although I haven't heard this kind www.biquge.info of news along the way, who knows what will happen when people are hungry.
This side of Peacock Gorge is a relatively plain area, and the harvest is better than other places. Although it was a spring famine at this time, the peasants still had some savings in their hands, and this year's seeds and the like had just been prepared.
Gu Ziyao was silent, he was also a common man, but whenever he had a little food in his hand, he regarded his own kind as a great enemy. It's about an irreversible habit, and it's not about compassion, it's true that the world is too difficult.
There was nothing to say for the night, and early in the morning of the second day, Gu Ziyao and Lin Pavilion Master rushed to Peacock Gorge early. After only half a day's work, I saw that the terrain gradually became steeper, and the peaks on both sides became much steeper, which was very different from before.
Looking further, I saw two mountain ranges stretching endlessly, with a line of dry water in between, which is where the Peacock Gorge is located. Looking from afar, you can see the crowds in the distance, the smoke curling, it should be burying the pot to make food, but I don't know what these homeless people can eat.
The Lin Pavilion Lord was very worried, and looked at Gu Ziyao as if asking for help, seeing that he was calm, and knew that he had come here, and there was no possibility of turning back, so he could only ride forward.
"What person?" As soon as the two of them ran to the mouth of the gorge, they saw several skinny men rushing up, although their faces were yellow and thin, their eyes were quite fierce and vigilant.
It was still almost two miles away from the center where the displaced people were camped, so someone intercepted it, so it can be seen that there must have been a sentry scout before that, and the news had already been reported.
Gu Ziyao was secretly shocked by this conclusion, as expected, this shows that the displaced people have begun to have a semi-militarized organization. Organized people and unorganized people, those are definitely two different creatures, I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
If you think about it, you can know that seventy or eighty thousand displaced people can be gathered to travel through the state and province, and there is a certain amount of organizational power, which also means that the leader of the displaced people is likely to be a powerful figure.
The organization of the displaced people is a double-edged sword. For local officials, if the displaced people have to cross the border, they naturally hope that there will be some order, so as not to scatter and disturb people's livelihood.
But if the organization is too good, and there are core people or groups, then there is a huge hidden danger. They may rise up at any time, seize counties and cities, loot large households, and become rogues.
This is the reason why Gu Ziyao insisted that he must meet the leader of the homeless people and persuade this person first. The current Jingchu refugees belong to the category of "too good organization".
Gu Ziyao settled down, grabbed the reins, and said solemnly: "We are the envoys sent by the nine thousand years old, and we are here to solve the affairs of the Jingchu exiles, who can be the master of you, take us to see him quickly!"
Now he and the Lin Pavilion Master do not have official representative official status, but after all, they are dignified scholars, and they have poetry and books in their stomachs, and these words are awe-inspiring.
"Nine thousand years old, which one is older than the county magistrate?" The men who blocked the road were a little ignorant, the prince's grade was too high, and these villagers could not reach it under normal circumstances.
At most, they know that the prefect of the county is an adult, and they know from the play that the governor has the king's order banner Shangfang sword, which can be cut first and then played, what kind of official is this 9,000-year-old?
Talking to them needs to be more direct, Gu Ziyao patted his head, thinking that he had forgotten about this stubble, and hurriedly added: "The nine-thousand-year-old adult is a first-class master, and the county only has seven-grade people!"
In this Dingjing City, the nine-thousand-year-old Lord is above ten thousand under one person, and he is in charge of the civil affairs in the capital, and if you want to live, you have to rely on the gift of the prince!
He directly put the grade out. On the other side, I heard that 9,000 years old is a product, and a product is much bigger than a seventh product. The men who blocked the way were in awe, and hurriedly dispersed to salute, and had already run back with a spirit, thinking that they were reporting to the leader.
The Lin Pavilion Lord was distressed, and lowered his head and whispered to Gu Ziyao: "Brother Xian, talking to the mud legs like this, Lao Lin and I won't be able to, I will talk to the leader of the homeless people for a while, but I want you to help more!"
He claims to be elegant and talented, and he is embarrassed to greet people without allusions, if he wants him to break his fingers to Gu Ziyao like this, he can't count the number of products for 9,000 years old, and the number of products for the county.
Gu Ziyao smiled and said, "It's okay, you just have to take care of the four and six, and I will explain it for you." But I see that this leader of the exiles has hills and ravines in his chest, even if he has never studied, I am afraid that he is not an idle person!"
As I got closer, I could see that the homeless people camped in a very orderly manner, and they were listed one after another. The young and strong are located on the periphery, the old and weak women and children are in the middle, and they are like a long snake along the stream, although there are many people, but they can still be in order. This leader has either learned the art of war or is a natural genius!
After a while, the person who had just run to report came back and gasped: "Well, why don't you report the two scholars, who are their surnames?
Miss? Gu Ziyao was stunned, could it be that the leader of this homeless camp, the person he thought was powerful, was actually a young woman? This was the first unexpected thing.
However, Gu Ziyao still replied honestly: "The two of us are both famous for showing off talents. This one is Lin Zhenyuan, a talented man from Hanjiang Prefecture, whose literary name is spread all over the world, I don't know if you have heard of it? ”
The other party is a displaced person from another province, of course, theoretically speaking, he doesn't know these two talents, but the identity of Xiucai is enough to attract attention. This also achieved Gu Ziyao's goal. I heard that it was the two ministers, and the person who reported it didn't dare to slack off, so they turned back and reported it directly.
After a while, he came out with a few more people, respectfully led Gu and Lin to dismount, and invited them to rest in the camp camp. Gu Ziyao followed him through the crowd, only to see that most of the people were in rags, their faces were numb, and they sat in a daze, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in their hearts.
Uprooting one's homeland is a great pain for the people of today. If people leave their hometowns and become rootless duckweeds, if they can't really live, who is willing to change from a good citizen to a homeless person?
For the peasants who have lived on the land all their lives, leaving their hometown is equivalent to being stripped of their spirit and spirit, leaving only an empty shell. These people are walking numbly, like walking dead, if there is really an army of zombies in film and television dramas, it may be like this.
From this, Gu Ziyao felt that the situation was grim, and there were many things that could not be felt so deeply if you didn't see it for yourself. He turned his head and whispered, "The lives of these victims are tied to their predecessors, cheer up their spirits......
