Chapter 969: Chaos in the Concentration of Displaced People

Early in the morning, the fog in the camp had not yet dissipated, Zhao Junsheng had already gotten up, and after practicing martial arts for an hour, the camp began to be noisy again.

Li Bao came over and said apologetically: "Your Majesty got up so early, and there is not much to do, why don't you sleep for a while?" This morning away from home is not idle? โ€

Zhao Junsheng wiped his sweat and said: "I'm used to it, I don't feel comfortable if I don't practice for a day!" By the way, you gather the soldiers of the Dragon Guard, bring dry food, and let's eat as we go! โ€

"So early, so urgent, where are you going?"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Go to the concentration point of the displaced people at the foot of Dingjun Mountain to have a look!" โ€

Li Bao took out the map and looked at it and said to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, it's a day's journey from here to Dingjun Mountain, if we set off now, the homeless people over there should be just dinner time!" However, there are 30,000 homeless people there, and it is increasing greatly every day, so is it a little weak to only take the Dragon Guard? โ€

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "We're not going to war, what are we doing with so many people?" If there are more people, there will be more noise, and it may bring uneasiness to those who are homeless! โ€

"Butยทยทยทยทยทยท Do you want to prophet the officials at all levels in Liangzhou? โ€

Zhao Junsheng said: "We just want to see the real situation of the resettlement of displaced people, if you inform them now, we won't see the actual situation!" โ€

"Yes, the minister went to arrange it!"

In less than two moments, a thousand dragon guards were fully armed with dry rations, Zhao Junsheng gave an order, the army set off, Li Bao opened the road in front, and the team was two miles long.

In less than an hour, officials at all levels in Nanzheng City got the news, and they were shocked one by one, and hurriedly rode up with their entourage.

A small colonel ran over from the rear team to report: "Your Majesty, officials at all levels in Liangzhou have caught up!" โ€

Zhao Junsheng turned his head to see that a group of officials and generals rode horses two miles behind him and quickly chased after him.

Zhao Junsheng led the imperial guards to the side of the road and waited, allowing the Dragon Guards to pass first.

A large number of officials led by Lu Shuang, the governor of Liangzhou, Qin Chuan, the Taishou of Hanzhong County, Wen Bozhen, etc., chased after him and stopped in front of Zhao Junsheng.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand: "No courtesy!" What are you doing in the city and chasing after me? โ€

Assassin Shi Qin Chuan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, are you going to the resettlement site of the displaced people in Dingjun Mountain?" Now those homeless people have not completely settled down, Your Majesty's status is noble, and only bringing such a few people over is really reassuring for the ministers! Besides, no one knows His Majesty's identity, if he is not accompanied by ministers, it will not be good if there is an eyeless little official over there who does not know Taishan and collides with His Majesty! โ€

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "Let's not go to war, we don't need to bring too many soldiers and horses!" The homeless people are just asking for a way to live, how can they do anything to violate the ban and rebel until they have to play? They are still the Bashu refugees of the Southern Dynasty, and when they come to my Daqian, they are not familiar with the place, and they are not so courageous! As for what you said, there may be a little official who doesn't know my identity and will do something that will collide with me, it's not impossible for this to happen, as the saying goes, it's good to look up, but it's hard to get a little ghost! In this case, Lu Shuang and Wen Bozhen, the two of you go back to the city to sit in the town, and Qin Chuan takes other officials with you! โ€

The officials of Liangzhou looked at each other, and there was no way to disobey Zhao Junsheng's intentions, so Lu Shuang and Wen Bozhen returned to Nanzheng with some officials, and Qin Chuan brought the rest of the officials with him!

In fact, these officials all know that although it is said that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, there are many more opportunities to be promoted by the emperor's side, as long as the emperor can be appreciated by the emperor during the time he accompanies him, the probability of promotion is very great.

Go to Dingjun Mountain, along the Han River all the way to the west, but there is an official road leading to Dingjun Mountain from Nanzheng, the road is quite flat, but the weather is too hot, and the marching speed is inevitably a lot slower, not only the soldiers of the Dragon Guard Army who are responsible for the escort are sweating, but the horses are also hot and panting, sweating profusely.

It was cooler in the morning, but the temperature rose after the end of the day, and Zhao Junsheng had to order to find a shady place to rest for a moment or so every hour or so, and feed the horses some water.

By the time we arrived at the concentration point of the displaced people in Dingjun Mountain, it was already the end of the Shen period, just in time for the officials, clerks, and men arranged by the government to distribute food to the displaced people.

When he arrived at the ground, Qin Chuan asked: "Your Majesty, the ministers see that Your Majesty, the accompanying ministers and the soldiers in charge of escorting are also tired for a day, take a rest first, eat something and drink some water to relieve fatigue!" โ€

Zhao Junsheng shook his head: "Let's go and see what the homeless people eat first!" โ€

After saying that, he jumped off his horse, handed the horse to the guard, and walked with his whip in the direction of the homeless people receiving their food.

There are already 30,000 displaced people gathered here, and it is estimated that another batch will be sent today, and there will only be more and more in the future, and it is not easy to prepare and distribute meals to these displaced people every day.

Qin Chuan caught up and explained to Zhao Junsheng as he walked, "There are too many displaced people, in order to prevent looting, so the ministers and others separated the place where the food was distributed from the camp tent, and let the displaced people line up to receive the food, and a total of fifty food distribution points were set up, and there were three people in each distribution point, two were responsible for distributing food, and one was responsible for serving food!" โ€

Zhao Junsheng nodded after hearing this: "Yes, this arrangement seems to be in order!" โ€

While speaking, Zhao Junsheng had already walked between a team of displaced people who received food, and he saw that most of the displaced people's clothes were still okay, but they were all dirty, and it seemed that they only cared about fleeing, and did not care about washing and cleaning.

He said to Qin Chuan: "Now the number of displaced people is too large and the temperature is high, if the displaced people do not pay attention to hygiene, it is easy to get sick and easily infect each other!" You see, these victims are afraid that they have not bathed or changed their clothes for more than ten or twenty days, and some of them even don't even wash the dishes and chopsticks, so this is not good! โ€

The emperor's words are fragrant even if they are farting, no matter how outrageous they are, they are right, and what Zhao Junsheng said is really like that.

Qin Chuan hurriedly said: "The ministers will arrange it later, let the officials gather the displaced people, and force them to take a bath and wash their clothes!" โ€

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "These can be arranged later, but some people don't wash their dishes and chopsticks, this is not a problem of industriousness, but laziness and quality!" โ€

Qin Chuan immediately made arrangements, he turned around and instructed a few followers behind him: "You go and tell the officials and soldiers who maintain order, let them check the dishes and chopsticks of the homeless people, and if they don't wash the dishes quickly, they won't be given food, let them go and wash the dishes and chopsticks before queuing!" โ€

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the officials quickly dispersed to convey the order.

In a short time, many lazy homeless people were pulled out of the queue by the officials and soldiers who maintained order.

An official in charge of maintaining order shouted at more than a dozen homeless people who did not wash the dishes and chopsticks: "I don't even wash the dishes and chopsticks after eating, I'm afraid that there is no one lazier than you in this world, why aren't you too lazy to even eat?" It's all for the official to wash the dishes and chopsticks, and if you don't wash them, there will be no food! โ€

The officials have a lot of authority here, not to mention that these are still refugees from Bashu in the Southern Dynasty, and they all know that they are really wrong when they are reprimanded, and none of them dare to blow up the thorns, so they all go to the river to wash dishes with their tails between their legs.

Zhao Junsheng walked to a stall where food was distributed and looked at it, and a homeless man happened to be holding a pottery bowl and reached out, and the cook who distributed the food scooped a bowl of porridge, a little pickles and a little boiled vegetables for the homeless person.

Zhao Junsheng said: "The porridge is too thin, there is no satiety, and there is no oil flower in this pickle and boiled greens, so I don't feel hungry!" โ€

Qin Chuan said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers don't want to give the homeless people a better meal, it's just that there are too many people, and there is a large influx of homeless people, if you don't control it now, you will be more and more unable to afford it in the future!" โ€

Zhao Junsheng turned his head and asked: "Your bowl of gruel doesn't use one or two corns, one person eats two meals a day, even if it is two taels of corn, 100,000 people a day is 12,000 catties (16 taels and 1 catties), and there is no feeling of fullness when you eat this thing in your stomach, double this amount, and replace the increased part with wheat!" There are also vegetables, pickles are also counted, boiled vegetables are changed to fried grass, and some oil and salt must be put in some way, and the imperial court has not always raised these displaced people, and they always have to be dispersed, and soon there will be a resettlement plan over Chang'an! โ€

The emperor said so, what else could Qin Chuan do? I had to agree.

"Yes, yes, if Your Majesty said so, the minister was relieved, and the minister ordered the amount of food to be doubled later, the increased part was changed to pasta, and the boiled vegetables and wild vegetables were changed to fried with oil and salt."

Zhao Junsheng went down and checked the food distribution stalls in the entire homeless gathering point, and those homeless people who were too lazy not to wash the dishes and chopsticks did not dare not wash the dishes and chopsticks after a reprimand and rectification.

There are people of all ages among the displaced people, some adults carry children, some women carry babies on their backs, children and babies also have to eat, and when they distribute meals, they also have to distribute a portion, so those who can hold the pottery bowl have to take the pottery bowl to receive food by themselves, and the baby who cannot hold it is carried by an adult to receive food, and if they are sick, they must report to the above, and after obtaining permission, they can help the sick person to receive food.

While the displaced people were receiving their meals and eating, Zhao Junsheng and his entourage of ministers entered the residential area of the displaced people, accompanied by local officials in Liangzhou.

The air was so bad, there was a stench everywhere, and even the air was full of the smell of open defecation.

Throughout the camp, wet muddy roads can be seen everywhere.

Zhao Junsheng frowned and said, "The sun is so big and the temperature is so high these days, why are there so many humid places in this camp?" Look at the stinking gutters, and the stench coming out of the tents, is this a place for people? โ€

Qin Chuan was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
