Back at the porridge shed, Huang Jie looked at the porridge given by the monks for a while, and found that the porridge boiled in this cauldron could almost give seventy or eighty bowls, and sixty pots could give porridge to 3,000 people in one go, but the monks gave porridge in an orderly manner, and then continued to boil.

At this time, the old and weak batches have been given porridge, and the women's batches are being distributed, and I saw that the women made two or three pairs of straw sandals on average each, and gave the porridge to their own men after receiving the porridge, which caused many people in the young and strong group to swallow their saliva, but they stared at them Cao Bao with fierce eyes, and did not dare to act rashly.

Huang Jie looked funny but didn't speak, went to the porridge shed and took a bowl of thick porridge and added four pieces of fish to Cao Bao, and whispered: "General, eat porridge!" ”

Cao Bao puffed out his bull's eyes and glared at Huang Jie, and just as he wanted to refuse, he heard a bull's roar in his abdomen, so he had to answer embarrassedly: "Da Lang, look, whoever dares to shoot him a bird will make a mistake!" ”

Huang Jie shook his head and said straightly: "Eat quickly!" Eat! Don't make noise! ”

After a while, the women's batch of porridge was also distributed, and it was the turn of the young and strong men's batch, looking at the more than 1,000 people, only three or four hundred people came out to line up with straw sandals, and four or five hundred people who had been taken care of by their families and ate the porridge without queuing, leaving a full 300 people who were estimated to be unable to eat porridge according to the rules.

Huang Jie came to the young circle and shouted to the people sitting on the ground: "There are no woven straw sandals, and there is no family help!" ”

Everyone listened, although they didn't understand why they were called out of the ranks, but before Huang Jie's orders were like a mountain, everyone saw his meticulous appearance, so they naturally listened to the words, and their own army taught them to line up.

After lining up the team, Huang Jie taught them to divide them into three batches, and then said: "You and the others have neither woven straw sandals nor family help, so it stands to reason that they should not give porridge." It's just that the five visceral temples don't sacrifice, and the taste of this front chest against the back of the back is not good, and I also know it. So I thought of a way to teach you to eat thick porridge, but I don't know if you are willing to listen to my orders? ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other, and naturally they had the courage to speak: "Xiucai Gong acts fairly, works and weaves to eat, and it all makes sense." I'm lazy, I can't knit, I don't rush to work, and I can't eat. Now Xiucai Gong is pitiful and waiting, just give me orders! ”

Huang Jie looked at the person who spoke, although he was also in rags, but his image was better than that of other villagers, he was in his early twenties, his complexion was still white, and his hands were not rough, so he pointed at him and said, "You can talk, have you ever read?" ”

The young man crossed his hands and saluted, and said with red ears: "If you go back to Xiucaigong, I have studied in a private school in the township for a few years, and I have taken the county examination once......"

Seeing that he was blushing, the implication was not to be plain, Huang Jie asked him that his surname was Wu Mingrenfu, and the word Songting, so he nodded and said: "Sure enough, he is a person who has read books, and it is good to know what to do." What I want you to do now is to go to the south, north, and west gates, and persuade villagers from all walks of life to come here to concentrate on almsgiving. ”

When everyone heard that it was such a job, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, wasn't it just running errands and walking, and it was not difficult, so they immediately agreed to it. Huang Jie saw that Wu Renfu was also a scholar, so he first appointed him as a small leader and put him in charge of persuading the homeless.

Then Huang Jie said with a smile: "The emperor of the capital is not short of hungry soldiers, so naturally he won't let you wait to go on an empty stomach, and after a while, when everyone's porridge is finished according to the rules, he will wait with you for porridge." When you go to persuade after eating, you should also remember to tell the truth to many villagers about the regulations here, and if you do a good job, you can still get a work chip, but you can write it down? ”

When everyone heard it, they were overjoyed, they could eat a bowl of porridge before they worked, and they could get a work chip after finishing their work, but it wasn't the treatment of a big worker?

So Huang Jie said some words to persuade the villagers with them, and when they all wrote them down, he also asked Wu Renfu to lead them to give porridge. At this time, I saw my uncle Yao Zheng and a few officials walking all the way, and they were full of surprise and joy when they looked left and right, and the first thing Yao Zheng said was: "Jie'er, Lord Zhizhou is awake!" ”

"How?" Huang Jie saw that his uncle's face was okay, and he thought it should be good news, and sure enough, Yao Zheng said: "In addition to the fracture of the left leg, he also broke four ribs, fortunately, the viscera is safe, after calling Chen Liangyi and Zhou Liangyi to take a look, they have already corrected the bones and prescribed a decoction to recuperate, I am afraid that it will take several months to be in bed to heal." ”

"Thankfully!" After Huang Jie said a word, he turned his head to call Cao Bao, Cao Bao heard that his father woke up and was not worried about his life, he was also moved to tears, and everyone was busy and comforted. Huang Jie took this opportunity to carefully talk about his arrangements for relief outside the city, and when he said that in order to suppress the riots of the crowd, Cao Bao injured six and killed one person, and everyone was surprised, but then there was a tide of praise, what was the right decision, the young heroic, and praised Cao Bao like Cao Bao The old skin on his face was as red as a monkey's butt when he ran over the corner of the city wall.

While talking, Huang Jie also accompanied Yao Zheng to the place where the displaced people were resettled, looking at the thousands of displaced people who were imprisoned, Yao Zheng said with a sad face: "These more than 10,000 displaced people, it is not difficult to provide relief for more than a month in a short time, but after a long time, Tokyo is afraid that it will not be able to support it, but now it is not a famine, but a thief, even my uncle really doesn't know what to do!" ”

Huang Jie looked left and right, and there was no one nearby, so he said in a low voice: "Uncle doesn't need to bother about this matter, I will discuss the matter of tea and tea in the past year, and it is on these homeless people that I can't say that it will be settled." ”

Yao Zheng listened and asked, "Jie'er, how do you say this?" ”

Huang Jie sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then said: "Since last year, I have also put some thought into the matter of tea, and I have even asked people to visit around. Only then did I learn that there are no full-time tea farmers in Huangzhou now, and most of them are tea trees planted by farmers in the fields or on the slopes of mountains. For me and others, please open the tea just to make profits with the villagers, and bring some private goods by the way, but the court naturally has a plan, and it is unprofitable to find out, and it is not accurate. ”

Yao Zheng listened, and nodded to himself, as the main Bo of last year, he also put a lot of thought into the matter of inviting tea in the last year, and the general data was also clear in his chest, and it was really as Huang Jie said. Huangzhou is good at producing good tea, but it can't reach the amount of production required to maintain a tea season, so the matter of opening tea has not been approved for a long time. In fact, he also knew that if the amount of tea produced in various parts of Huangzhou was large enough, he could start a tea market on his own, and when the tea market had a certain scale, he would ask the imperial court to open a tea market, and allow the Huangzhou tea market to trade tea, salt and ironware.

Yao Zheng said: "What does Jie'er mean, is it that I left this group of displaced people in Huangzhou?" I heard that these more than 10,000 people are the forwards, and the people who have migrated because of the Broken Stone Army this time are only afraid of no less than 50,000 people! ”

Huang Jie said with a smile: "Uncle, you also know that I am in Huang Wanlian Village in Macheng, and now this Zhuangzi can accommodate tens of thousands of people, not to mention that there are more than 3,000 acres of slope land under Huilong Mountain that can be replanted with camellia. ”

Yao Zheng was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "Bao Yuan went back to Longshan to plant camellia?" How to grow tea in the mountains? ”

Huang Jie also asked, "Doesn't my uncle know about the terraces of the Yao people?" It is a terraced field that has been reclaimed from the mountains...... It doesn't matter, I happen to have a Banyao at home, and he understands the method of terraced land reclamation. ”
