0814 Surviving Old Man
"At the same time with only a pitiful few thousand infantry behind him, it is simply impossible to occupy Southeast Asia! The most critical point is that at that time, Emperor Liu Pei was mired in the quagmire of immigration, and as long as a warship broke through his blockade line, Emperor Liu Pei had to return to the negotiating table! Maybe in that case, we in the West may not lose all of Southeast Asia! ”
"But Emperor Liu Pei's adventure succeeded! He frightened off the combined fleet with a frantic way of fighting. At the same time, he also used the bait of trade to split the alliance. Completely occupied Southeast Asia. By the time the countries reacted, Emperor Liu Pei had completely gained a foothold in Southeast Asia, and we Westerners had to admit that Emperor Liu Pei had occupied Southeast Asia! ”
After listening to Fang Degang's report, Liu Pei spent another day carefully reviewing all the reports, and after having a general understanding in his heart, he smiled and threw all the work to Fang Degang, and led the guards to inspect below.

Liu Pei led the guards to a small village, which still has no name, but is numbered 023 Gathering Village on the map.
The village is not small, with more than 300 families. Records show that the village was inhabited entirely by people who had fled from Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan.
Liu Pei entered the small village and saw the difference of this village. All the rooms are more or less uniform. It's small, but it's big enough for a family of five to seven. However, a place for expansion is reserved.
The houses were cut down by slaves. You can even see the branches of the trees alive on the wooden planks of the house! These houses are all used for temporary stationing. As the lives of the victims improve, they will be able to build their own houses in the future.
Moreover, after these victims gain a firm foothold, they will also undertake the work of secondary development. In other words, they have to expand their villages and take on the arrival of the second group of victims. But that's going to be next year. And the quantity will not be large, it will only be sent in pieces.
When Liu Pei entered the village, he didn't find many people, and probably all went to work in the fields. When he reached the center of the village, he found four old men sitting on rocks basking in the sun.
Liu Pei left the guards
I walked by myself. The four old men quickly sensed someone coming from their drowsiness. They looked up and hurriedly stood up when they saw Liu Pei approaching. They feel that a character like this who is all magnificent must be nobles, and they can't be wrong with being polite!
Liu Pei looked at these four old people who had almost lost their ability to work, and was also very emotional. Old people like them often die at the very beginning of the catastrophe! It is already great luck to be able to come to Taiwan alive.
Because when an old man like this encounters a catastrophe that cannot be resisted, he is often the first group of people to be abandoned. Or they will voluntarily leave the family, the family seeks to die! So that more food can be saved for their children and grandchildren.
The four old men had never seen Liu Pei, and they didn't know what kind of official he was? In their impression, the errand officer in the county is already a great man! Although the county master said that he would never see him, they also knew that he was a person like the emperor of the soil! As for the real emperor, that is the dragon and phoenix in the clouds, you can't even see it!
When the four old men saw a large number of followers behind this person, they knew that this person was amazing! So the four old men all took out the posture of treating the county master, that is, kneeling directly on the ground!
Liu Pei hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the four old men, and helped them sit down on the stones. But where did these four old men dare to sit down in front of Liu Pei? They saw Liu Pei standing far away with dozens of guards, judging from the outfit of any one of them, it was worth the family property of the whole village now! Not to mention that they stepped down on those divine horses!
So they didn't dare to sit down at all. This made Liu Pei press this and jump up to another one. In the end, Liu Pei had to give up his efforts and let them stand and talk.
Liu Pei said after a few greetings: "A few old people, when did you come here?" ”
The four old men glanced at each other, suggesting that an older man was speaking. The old man was helpless by the eyes of the other three old men. I could only open my mouth and say, "If you go back to the master, we came here around July." ”
Liu Pei calculated it, and it happened to be the batch when he returned to Shandong
People went to Taiwan. Liu Pei said: "Where are the hometowns of several people? ”
Each of the four old men gave a place name. Liu Pei vaguely has some memories, all of which are somewhere in the countryside of Shaanxi. Liu Pei felt very satisfied, Fang Degang understood his intentions, and completely dispersed the victims, not living according to the clan.
Liu Pei said: "Is it convenient to come on the way? ”
The old man nodded and said, "It's okay, it's just a long walk, I don't know how many walks?" Like I'm lucky to be alive to get here! There are still many people who don't know each other who have been burned and buried on the side of the road! ”
Another old man beside him said, "Yes! They're just not going to have a good fate! Let's put up good people, willing to save people with food! They don't have that blessing! ”
Liu Pei was also gloomy in his heart when he heard this! After all, hundreds of miles away is really not something that these old people can persevere! But if you don't take this road, it will be a dead end, so these old people can only leave everything behind and embark on this unknown road ahead.
Liu Pei continued: "What about the sea route? Did the sea go smoothly? ”
The old man shook his head and said, "It's already worth half a life by land, but it's really fatal by sea!" The old man doesn't know how the old man survived on the boat? ”
Speaking of which, the old man seemed to be triggered by memories, making him forget that he seemed to be a big official in front of him! He pointed his fingers and said, "Those sailors are really not a thing! Actually drove the boat ricketerly! The dizzy old man can't sit still! But I couldn't fall down if I wanted to, because the cabin was full of people. Everyone sat together, and there was no time for that! ”
Liu Pei couldn't help but laugh dumbly in his heart, it seems that this old man treats the sea boat as a boat in the ditch of the Shaanxi River. However, Liu Pei immediately reacted, when these already weak people passed by the sea, I was afraid that many people would die halfway!
Sure enough, the old man continued: "I met an old fellow on the road, about the same age as the old man. He had already made it all the way to the beach, but within three days of getting on the boat, he vomited to death! In the end, he had nothing left in his stomach to vomit, and all he vomited was bitter gall! ”
