Let them move, give up everything that they were born and raised in the land where they were born and raised, just on the spiritual level, they simply cannot afford - and aside from that, the material loss is also extremely huge.

First of all, their house is gone. Secondly, the huge amount of that was worthless in the eyes of the officials who were in charge of the affairs and the soldiers who forced them to relocate were gone, and those things, maybe all they had, could have saved their lives at a critical moment. On top of that, their land is gone.

Yes, in Zhenhebao, they can get new land, even more than before, but the problem is that most of this land is raw land that has not been developed for decades or even hundreds of years, and it has to be raised in the first year, and nothing can be planted, and it will not grow long.

For example, the boundaries around Rock Fort and other areas with excellent water and soil conditions are still a little less after all.

They can only take a limited amount of things on the road, because there is no means of transportation, and they only rely on people's backs, and they can't take much at all. Moreover, the distance of dozens of miles is a great burden for the people who basically have no means of transportation and can only rely on walking. Some people, especially malnourished children and frail elderly, may even die on the road.

Not to mention, the soldiers who escorted them treated them as prisoners, whipping and insulting, blackmailing and even adultery along the way, there were absolutely a lot, these people have suffered enough, and I don't know how many families have been separated.

And what about Zhenhe Fort?

Where is the house?

Can you expect the government to build it for them? You still have to do it yourself. Without raw materials, technology, and manpower, how many people will die of disease and starvation if they don't know when their houses will be built, and if they sleep in the wilderness?

Where is the food?

Where are the ploughing cattle?

……

This is great news for the officials, Liu Ruozai has to send a lot of materials, and they are doing a lot of good, and the displaced people want to get it, but it is not so easy, maybe the last ten will not save one!

Coming over this way, Dong Ce looked at it, and it can be described in roughly one word: mourning all over the field.

The officials were abusive and urging, the soldiers were greedy and violent, no one was in charge, and the people were miserable.

When he arrived at the left of Zhenhe Fort, Dong Ce saw that many of the boundaries were built with simple shacks, and there was still a certain distance between each shack gathering place. Come to think of it, this is the area where Liu Ruozai carved out the village for them in the future. Those shacks were very simple, and they could not shelter from the wind and rain, and they could not withstand the dampness of the earth. The original houses of these poor people were certainly quite dilapidated, but they were better than this.

Seeing so many along the way, Dong Ce could only sigh, this was Liu Ruozai's order, he couldn't do anything. If you dare to take any measures, even if it is just, if you are sued by someone to Liu Ruozai, you will not be able to eat and walk around.

The guards at the city gate had already recognized Dong Ce, and without any obstruction, they were allowed to go.

Dong Ce and his entourage arrived in front of the Yamen of Bingbei Road, everyone dismounted one after another, Dong Ce handed over the famous thorn, the man looked quite arrogant, took off his chin and nodded Dong Ce: "Wait here, I'll report." ”

He snorted lightly, his face was very unpleasant, obviously because Dong Ce had not stuffed the silver when he handed over the famous thorn. Dong Ce saw his expression and immediately guessed what was going on, and couldn't help crying and laughing, he went back and forth to this military preparation mansion many times, up to the old steward, down to the door knew him, before he was stuffed with silver, and slowly Dong Ce forgot about this stubble.

But I don't know if this guy is new or what, he doesn't even recognize himself, and he has to ask for benefits.

Dong Ce's smile turned into a sneer, and an evil fire rose out in his heart, and he glanced at the door coldly. That's right, this thing is considered to be done without rules, but this man dares to show him his face in front of so many people, which has already made him lose face a little.

Some of the generals around who were waiting for Liu Ruozai to meet had a sarcastic smile on their faces, looking like they were watching a good show. As the saying goes, the king of Hades is good at seeing little ghosts, this young general has offended this family, and if he can't turn back, he has to throw his noun into the thatched house, wait, whether he can see Lord Bingbei Dao today or two words.

But I didn't expect that after a while, the man walked out quickly and came to Dong Ce, this time his attitude was much more respectful, and he smiled with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes: "It turned out that it was Lord Dong in person, and the little one just came, I don't know you, and I hope to treat you." The steward said, you can go in and see as you go. ”

Dong Ce glanced at him and said with a smile: "Really? ”

The man was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "How dare the little one deceive the adult?" ”

Dong Ce didn't care about himself, smiled faintly, nodded and walked inside.

The waiting generals outside were dumbfounded, and then they knew that this was a person with a great background.

"This person's surname is Dong, and he is not very old? Is it Dong Ce? "Many people have already guessed one or two, Dong Ce's reputation in North Hebei Province is still very good.

After entering, he was slightly stunned, and saw an old man standing behind the gatehouse, his face wrinkled and his hair gray.

It was the old steward who was most trusted by Liu Ruozai in the house, Dong Ce was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly took two steps forward, bent down slightly and smiled: "I've seen the steward below, it's polite." ”

His impression of this old steward is very good, neither humble nor arrogant, and he does not use any racks to oppress people, but he naturally has a bearing that cannot be ignored. Moreover, Dong Ce's first visit to Zhenhe Fort was brought by this old steward, so he had some other feelings in his heart.

"Your Excellency is gracious." The old steward grinned, revealing a mouthful of teeth that were already quite broken, and he pointed to Fang Cai's door: "That's a distant nephew of the old slave, he hasn't been here for a long time, and he doesn't know the rules well. If there is something offended, the old slave will make amends to the adults on his behalf. ”

Saying that, he bent down with difficulty to salute Dong Ce, not to mention whether it was true or a gesture, no matter what, Dong Ce couldn't let him continue this salute. People are giving you face, if you accept it calmly, it will be shameless.

Dong Ce hurriedly held him to prevent him from bending over, and said with a smile: "Eh, where did your old man come from?" What's offensive? Besides, if you apologize to me, that's ruining my life. ”

The old steward really just made a show, and as soon as Dong Ce helped him, he just stopped insisting.

The two of them were polite for a while, and then they took Dong Ce to the house, after all, the old steward was old, and his legs and feet were not good, so he walked very slowly. Dong Ce was not in a hurry, and walked slowly with him, and the two of them talked about some gossip ramblingly. The old steward picked up the things that happened in the house these days, and some of them didn't talk about it, and it seemed that they were all small things that had no connection and were not very important, but with Dong Ce's delicate mind, he could still analyze many things from it.

After a few words, it turned out to be a great gain.

Dong Ce knew in his heart that the old steward was befriending himself, although he didn't know why, but he didn't take advantage of the cheapness, so he took advantage of it first.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the flower hall that Liu Ruozai used to meet guests.

The old steward pointed inside and said with a smile: "The old slave went in and gave a talk." ”

Dong Ce stretched out his hand: "The old man is casual." ”

The old steward had just entered in a leisurely manner, and suddenly a crisp and elegant voice like a yellow oriole came from behind the hanging flower door next to the flower hall: "Daddy......"

With a pleasant smile like a silver bell, and then a figure jumped out of it, Dong Ce instinctively turned his head to look, but saw that it was a girl who came out of the hanging flower door. The girl is about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a tender yellow skirt, she is tall, her appearance is not beautiful, she can only be regarded as a middle-class posture, but she is very beautiful and lovely, revealing a youthful and lively atmosphere. Her face was a little flushed, probably because she had run too much and was sweating slightly. There is a double bun combed on the head, which adds a bit of cuteness.

In the words of later generations, it is a big Lori who takes the cute route.

She rushed over, but she didn't pay attention, but when she saw Dong Ce, she couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't help but exclaim.

Dong Ce glanced at the woman up and down, and saw that a team of her body was made of high-grade Shu brocade, but the belt tied around her waist was high-grade Baixiang silk, and the jade buckle on it was the size of a child's palm, the color was green and deep, and it looked extremely smooth and delicate, and she knew that it was a fine jasper at a glance. On her forehead, she wears a white fox skin to wipe her forehead, and the fluffy animal skin warms her forehead around her forehead, like a rabbit crouching, which is very cute. This thing is quite popular among the ladies of high-ranking families such as high-ranking dignitaries in the Ming Dynasty, and is also known as the Lying Rabbit. However, the forehead worn by the girl in front of her is more delicate, with a layer of gold and silver carvings added to the surface, and on top of the carvings, there are at least six glossy pearls the size of little fingers, delicate and elegant, rich and compelling but not unconventional.

The jade buckle on the belt alone and this forehead wipe will add up to more than two thousand taels of silver - gold and silver are valuable, pearls and jade are priceless, and how much are those big pearls worth alone?

Dong Ce smiled and arched his hand, but did not speak. At this time, the girl also reacted, her face became more and more red, Dong Ce's gaze swept over him, enthusiastic and unscrupulous, she should have been ashamed. It's just that Dong Ce's gaze is very pure, and there is no blasphemy in it, but it is full of appreciation, which makes her angry. Seeing Dong Ce saluting her, he hurriedly returned a salute in a panic. Although it was in a hurry, the etiquette was very standard, even what angle, how much squatting, it was clear, there was no trace of error, obviously someone specially taught.
