Passed down for hundreds of years, the officials in some places have even formed a family, saved a huge amount of income, and flaunted their power in front of the township, and became famous in the local area.

This Liu Ya in front of him is like this, since the abolition of Zhengde Nianwei and the establishment of county magistrates in Yanghewei, his family has been working as a government servant here, which is already the fifth generation. Among them, the family has a lot of money, and it has a very high status among the people, and some of them are sweet and can speak, and they also call Liu Dayuan when they meet.

He said at this time, those soldiers were all strange in their hearts, this Liu Sanye was not drinking a small wine in the restaurant to enjoy the happiness, and took the silver of the helpers below to worship, but why did he come here to eat the wind?

It's just that since this Yang and Wei changed the civil governance, the status of these soldiers has become lower and lower. Although the commander of the guards in the city is there and everything else, except for a little military cantonment outside that can reap the benefits, there is no power.

Liu San'er's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked to the west.

But I saw that in the southwest direction, a group of refugees were coming from the southwest, helping the old and the young, and walking towards this side. The procession was very large, and there were men, women, and children inside, so the speed was very slow, and it took a while to slowly creep to the left of the city gate.

Now you can see it clearly, this large group of refugees is about 200 people, all of them are yellow and thin, I don't know how long they have been hungry, and many of them are like hungry skin and bones like skeletons. Moreover, many careful novelists have found that these refugees are basically young men and women, and the number of old people and children is very small - there is only one explanation for this, they have been in exile for a long time, and the old people and children have died or been eaten.

There are a lot of things that change children and eat, and there are so many of them these years.

Their hair was tangled, sticky, dirty, and smelly, and you could smell a foul smell from afar. Even those vegetable farmers who carried flat shoulders into the city to sell vegetables avoided them from afar. Many homeless people have begun to kneel on the ground and kowtow to others and beg, muttering good things in their mouths, but they have rarely given them alms.

Many of the displaced people are already preparing to enter the city.

The soldiers looked back numbly as if they hadn't seen it.

They have seen a lot of these homeless people these days, and almost every day there are homeless people coming from all directions, begging for survival. Wave after wave, who cares about them? If you enter the city, you will enter the city, and they will not care, if you can mix a bite of food in the city, you may not starve to death. Why drive them away and create so many evils? After death, you will go to hell.

Seeing that those refugees were about to arrive at the city gate, Liu San'er suddenly glanced at him and said in a low voice: "Drive a few people, and blow these thieves away." ”

The soldiers all looked at him in surprise, and Liu San'er pointed to it: "What does the county lord mean." ”

As soon as they heard the instructions of the county lord, a few soldiers didn't dare to say anything, walked over slowly, pressed their hands on the knife at their waists, and said loudly: "You thieves, you can also enter this city?" Get out, get out! ”

"Master Jun, you are gracious, let us go in and find a stuttering ......"

"Master, if I can survive, give it to you, Master"

The homeless fell to their knees, pleading.

Several soldiers were also moved by compassion, and looked back at Liu San'er, but Liu San'er had a faint expression, looking like he had nothing to do with himself.

This is a master who can't afford to offend. A few soldiers gritted their teeth and scolded: "Don't cry here, get out of here!" ”

Some even pulled out half of the knives on their waists and threatened: "If you don't get out of here, you will be sentenced to be a thief and killed with one knife!" ”

The faces of those people showed a look of fear and horror, and under the threat of the butcher's knife, they didn't dare to say more, and they got up one after another to leave.

At this time, Liu San'er sighed, jumped down from the stone, stopped in front of those homeless people, and said loudly: "Do you want to live? ”

Who doesn't want to live? If it were someone else, he would be scolded to death directly, but these homeless people saw that he was well-dressed and knew that he must be a person with great status, so they didn't dare to make a mistake, and some of them knelt on the ground with a plop and shouted: "Ask the master to show us a way to live." ”

"Alas!" Liu San'er sighed again: "I'm a kind-hearted person, so I'll show you a way, which can be regarded as accumulating yin virtue." ”

The people and soldiers around him who heard him were dumbfounded, and scolded in their hearts, secretly saying that you let us be wicked people and be the good people yourself.

Liu San'er walked to the left side of the city gate, pointed to a large notice posted on the wall, and said, "Do you know what is written on it?" ”

The outcasts shook their heads, how many of them were literate?

Liu San'er actually doesn't know how to read, but someone has already told him what is written on it, and he remembers it very clearly.

"Sixty-five miles southwest from this place, on the banks of the Gan River, there is a place called 'Dashigu'. There is a Master Dong who was ordered to recruit homeless people there, and when you go, you will be in charge of eating. If you work hard, you may be able to stay, divide some of your land, and never wander around like this again. ”

Liu San'er said loudly: "Go, go to Dashigu." ”

Got food to eat? Can you still settle down and not have to wander around? Can there be such a good thing in this world?

Liu San'er said it so well, these homeless people couldn't believe it, and they all showed half-believing looks.

Liu San'er was suddenly displeased, and said coldly: "That's it, whether you like to go or not, these days, good people can't do it." ”

He is very affectionate, and his understanding of people's hearts is very thorough, and he naturally understands that he must not say good things at this time, but must make a displeased appearance in order to win the trust of others.

Dropping this sentence, Liu San'er brushed his sleeves away with anger on his face.

It's just that when he turned around, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth—twenty taels of silver were in hand.

Just a few days ago, an officer from Zhenqiang Fort posted a notice at the gate of the city, Liu San'er was next to him at that time, he didn't know how to read, but he recognized the seal, and the notice was covered with the big seal of the Yamen of the Military Preparation Road, and the plan was definitely not fake. I didn't know what was going on, but he didn't dare to provoke it anyway, but he was surprised by the tall war horse under the officer's crotch and the fine iron leaf armor on his body. This matter had nothing to do with him, but he didn't expect that the officer found him through the connections of some underground forces in the city.

I asked him for help.

The officer, who was tall and strong, fierce-looking, and couldn't hide a murderous aura on his body, spoke very politely. The content of asking him for help is to guide the displaced people to Dashigu, and it is not a loss to him, as long as it is from Yang Gaowei, one is counted as one, and one person has a head and one penny.

Counting these two hundred people, it is twenty taels of silver. For Liu San'er. This is also a very large amount of money. If it were someone else, he wouldn't believe it, but when the big man showed his identity, he would inherit it - the name of Dong Erlang, who is unparalleled in the world, has spread all over the surrounding hundreds of miles, who doesn't know that this person is kind and charitable, brave and good at fighting?

So there is the scene of the city gate.

He knew that these homeless people would definitely choose to go to Dashigu, after all, a place that could manage their food was a huge temptation that could not be resisted by these homeless people who were about to starve to death. They are not afraid to work, they are afraid that they will not even have a place to work to support themselves, and besides, isn't it the same everywhere?

And this scene, in the past two days, continued to happen in the south, east, and west of the Rock Fort within dozens of miles. Dong Ce is doing his best, and the scope that can be affected is only so big.

×××××× dividing line ××××××

On the second day after going out, Zhou Bo and Su Dacheng, who went out to buy cattle, finally returned.

At that time, Dong Ce was admiring the cotton armor allocated by Liu Ruozai in his residence.

His current residence is where the yamen official hall of the original rock fort is located, and it can be seen that the original scale was very large, in front of which was the official office, and Dong Ce and their current deliberations are here, and behind it is a large courtyard with dozens of houses. It's a pity that now except for the official office in front and a flower hall in the back, which are still well preserved, the others have become broken walls.

Nowadays, there are more animals than people in the Rock Fort.

Anxiangdun's war horses, ploughing cattle and other large animals have all moved here this morning, not far from Dong Ce's residence, a simple horse shed has been built on the ruins, and the war horses are raised in it. As for the ploughing cattle, a cattle pen was built outside the fort, and other pigs, sheep, donkeys, mules, chickens, ducks and geese were also raised in enclosures outside, and they could also forage on the spot.

All the manpower has been occupied by burning the wasteland and fishing and shrimp, and the ploughing oxen and ploughshares have not returned, and the craftsmen have not been invited. Now that there is no manpower in his hands, even if Dong Ce wants to do something, he is in vain, and he has no way to start, so he has to wait for Zhou Bo to come back with peace of mind and come step by step.

So he rarely had time to come down today, and suddenly remembered that there were five sets of armor among the materials allocated by Liu Ruozai, so he quickly asked people to take a look.

This is not the most precious material, but it is the most difficult material to get in the Ming Dynasty, food can be planted, can be bought, but armor, but can only be obtained from the hands of the imperial court, can be called a militaristic heavy weapon. According to the standard of 1,000 people, Dong Ce proposed to Liu Ruozai that there should be at least 10% of people, that is, 100 people wearing armor. Although one mouth is a hundred sets of armor, some lions open their mouths, but Liu Ruozai only gave five sets, and with his support for Dong Ce, it can be seen how tight the armor is at this time.

Liu Ruozai gave Mianjia.
