Chapter 247: The Wanderer (I)
Jinling, Secret Pavilion
Chen Qing took the fold and kept walking towards the inner door, and at this time, there were several eunuchs and officials from Mi Wenran who came in and out, holding the fold Chen.
When he entered the imperial study, he saw that Wang Hongyi was on the council, so he stood with his hands down.
After approving a book, Wang Hongyi sat upright and asked, "What's the matter?"
Chen Qing looked at it, and saw that Wang Hongyi's demeanor was calm, and he was determined to listen to his own words, so he really had a kind of gentleman's face, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said angrily: "Lu Gao, the envoy of the Beiwu Jiedu, agreed to the request, cut Linhai County as a port, and purchased grain and weapons at a price thirty percent higher than the market price in the south."
"The household department reported that it had collected 500,000 stone rice, but across the sea, thousands of miles of ocean, the shipping cost was very large, and more than 30% was just not a loss. ”
The household department said that although the nine southern provinces are rich places, they have only mobilized troops over the years, and the cultivation time is too short, and they are afraid that there will be losses in the local area if they continue to collect grain. ”
"You can't give food at once, you can give more weapons!" Wang Hongyi muttered, and said: "There are 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Beiwu City, and as long as 30,000 stones are transported every month, they can maintain their combat effectiveness. ”
"500,000 stone is enough, and it will be transported in batches of ten months, and 20,000 stone will be handed over to other counties and counties, and the displaced people will be brought back with them. Wang Hongyi said, with a smile: "In fact, although it is not a loss, there is still a lot of money, and the north has been fighting for a year, and the treasury has been abundant." ”
This is actually war money, one can strengthen the strength to resist the Hu people, two can expand one's own influence, three can make profits, four can search the tongue of the displaced people, and five can buy time, this benefit is really endless.
Wang Hongyi's eyes were huge at this time, and the purple qi inside gathered but did not disperse, while on the outside, the seven-colored canopy, the slightest auspicious qi hung down, enveloping the whole body.
Just as he spoke, a pale cyan cloud came from nowhere, and stimulated by this, Ding turned slightly, absorbing and transforming it, which showed the great power.
This situation is very rare, in the past, white, red, yellow, often have to have one person to get a county, there is an obvious change in luck, but after the unification of the south, there are hundreds of counties, now increase a county and reduce a county, or have a few people to have no obvious luck fluctuations.
Now this strategy alone has made himself shake slightly, which shows the great impact.
Come to think of it, the Beiwu Festival makes Lu Gao have dragon energy, and he already has a foundation, even if Hu Khan is powerful again, it will be difficult to win it for a while, as long as he fights for a few months, he may change the general trend of the world, which is naturally supported by luck.
Thinking of his previous life, Wang Hongyi was thoughtful.
I saw that the qi on the top stabilized in this moment.
The tripod was circling, and the white and red qi of the people and the organization continued to seep in, and these white and red qi turned blue and purple, and every time it turned, it condensed and vacated an area, and then there was white and red qi pouring into the fill.
At present, the purple gas has sixty percent of the peak, if you can get Luoyang, occupy the hinterland of the Central Plains, and take the Yellow River as the boundary, you will definitely be able to reach the peak of purple gas.
smiled at the moment, and said quietly: "You continue to preside, this matter can be done, that is, there is merit, the solitary establishment of the official system, clear rewards and punishments, although you are talented, you must also accumulate merit and qualifications, and lone talents can be promoted - you can go."
Chen Qing was grateful, and said, "The minister is terrified, dare not die?"
After making a big salute, he took a few steps back and went out.
Youzhou
It is two hundred miles away from Beiwu City, and the war has not spread to this point, and the atmosphere of panic has spread, although a large number of people still dare not leave their hometowns, but some people have fled.
The family wealth that is difficult to give up can be compared to the life?
The ferocity of the Hu people spread in Youzhou, the slaughter of Yushan, and the drive of sheep in Yuyang, which shocked the entire Youzhou.
At this time, a group of thousands of displaced people came to this town, and the officials here disappeared.
Although there are many displaced people, because there are a few respected clan elders to manage, there has never been chaos, it is said that the ancient migration, are all ethnic migration, and the lonely displaced people are basically dead and alive.
However, they were in a hurry all the way, frightened, scared and tired, and these people were all disgraced and looked quite embarrassed.
It's here, it's finally here. Seeing a small town appear in front of him, the middle-aged man who took the lead brightened his eyes.
"Patriarch, is it here?" Around this middle-aged man, there were three other people, all of whom were burly and tall, and they looked like ordinary people.
One of them frowned, and said with a little uneasiness: "This is on the official road, but you can go to the wrong place, and it is not a trivial matter to go wrong with those people." ”
"It's not too far from Beiwu City, is it really okay to stop here?"
The Hu people broke through Beiwu City and attacked here, what about these defenseless people?
"Don't worry, this is the place, there will be no mistake, a few days ago, when the official told me, he mentioned Anhe Town, you see, isn't this town Anhe Town?"
The three of them saw that on the stone tablet in front of this town, it was indeed written "Anhe Town".
Even so, I am still a little worried, with this behind me, but thousands of relatives (a small number of villagers), something went wrong, how to see the ancestors and ancestors?
"Patriarch, we all listen to you, but are those officials credible?" someone asked again.
"Don't worry, the official is a nobleman who eats money, so why deceive? We have nothing now, except for people, and there are people to use?"
"We saw the opportunity quickly, escaped from Yuyang, and now there is no way back, even if we are really abducted to be a slave, it is better than the current turmoil. ”
"And the official said clearly, the south has produced the Son of Heaven, the King of Chu is the true Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven is merciful, seeing that we are miserable, he specially sent a boat to pick us up and help us to go to the south, how can the Son of Heaven coax others in this matter?"
"The patriarch is right, the Son of Heaven has tens of millions of people, and it is rare for us to really rush to the south and get a share of the land, not only can we save our lives, but also live a good life, don't you say?"
"Yes, I heard that the land in the south is fertile, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the Son of Heaven is benevolent, and he doesn't need to pay taxes, and he can really go to the Southern Dynasty, then it is really blessed by God and Buddha. ”
When the people around heard this, they all echoed it, and they yearned for the Southern Dynasty, but they were still worried about the situation in front of them.
"Patriarch, it's not that we don't believe in you, and it's not that we don't believe in the Son of Heaven, but now that Youzhou is in chaos, the Southern Dynasty really sent someone to recruit us to come over, if we don't connect to the line and miss it, how can we get over?
"Yes, Patriarch, this town is very deserted, if they don't come, what will we do next?"
The patriarch rubbed his hands, he didn't know anything in his heart, but comforted everyone: "Don't panic, Beiwu City has not yet been occupied by the Hu people, it is two hundred miles away from Beiwu City, even if Beiwu City really can't hold it, for a while, this Hu people can't fight here, how can there be anything?" You just have to relax and go to this Anhe Town, three days later, the people of the Southern Dynasty will not come, and it will not be too late for us to continue to rush tomorrow morning, what do you think?"
It is a matter of everyone's lives, even if it is the patriarch, it is not easy to make his own decisions and ask everyone's opinions.
"As the patriarch said, let's wait here for three days!" After a moment of silence, one of the three spoke, and the other two hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
The patriarch who took the lead in each house is all in the moon, what else can others do?
One after another, everyone agreed.
Seeing that no one objected, the patriarch said, "Everyone agrees with me, so let's go into the town first!" We have been tired from the road for several days and nights, and we will rest after entering the town. ”
When everyone heard this, they all agreed.
The inside of Anhe Town was empty at this time, which made them a lot less troublesome.
Because they all took food with them when they fled, and for a while, the smell of smoke and porridge filled the air, and everyone did not enter the room, but used it in the open space, and ate some things, and the exhausted homeless people were lying in all directions, and some were hearty.
The patriarch and the concubines of each house all sent people to patrol the town gate in turn, and once there was a situation, they immediately retreated.
As the sun rose in the middle of the town, the sound of horses' hooves rang out outside the town.
A few homeless people who had been sent out to patrol ran in with pale faces and shouted, "Oh no!
Cavalry?
When they shouted, more than a thousand homeless people panicked.
Before there was time to react, a team of about 100 cavalry entered the town, and the shining armor made the people fearful, but it didn't seem to be Hu Ren.
Under the cautious and fearful gaze of the homeless, the cavalry battalion was scanning its eyes and asked, "Who is the patriarch of the Liu family?"
"The villain is!" Hearing the officer shouting to himself, the middle-aged patriarch hurriedly stood up and said with a panicked face.
We are here to pick you up, are these people willing to go to the Southern Dynasty?" his gaze swept over the people present and asked.
As soon as they heard that it was someone from the Southern Dynasty, these displaced people all stood up, their eyes filled with hope.
The patriarch of the Liu family said: "Yes, they are all willing to follow." ”
"Let's go, there is a county port fifty miles away from here, you can leave Youzhou by boat and rush to the Southern Dynasty. The officer said.
The middle-aged patriarch hurriedly bowed: "Thank you for the grace of the Son of Heaven, thank you general." ”
With the goal in mind, the wanderer raised his spirits and set off with the army, and along the way, the cavalry slowed down their horses and followed behind the hundred horsemen, but the wanderer was still very difficult.
At dusk, when the sea breeze blew on their cheeks, everyone had a happy expression on their faces.
"It's here, thank goodness, it's finally here!"
The county port is not large, but at this time, there are many ships in and out of the port.
The white sails are dotted, the masts are lined up, and the huge ship of hundreds of tons has made people look sideways.
On the dock, several people officially wearing the uniforms of the thirteen officials, with waist knives on their bodies, waited, and when they saw this group of homeless people arrive, these people were all relieved.
"This batch of ten boats is waiting for you, and we have finally delivered people, and we have not encountered any trouble along the way, right?" asked a thousand households.
"The situation in Youzhou is turbulent, the government is too busy to take care of itself, and they all want to leave a way back, what trouble can they encounter?" Ying Zheng's words faintly mocked Youzhou.
Baihu listened, nodded, and said, "That's what I said, how many people have been counted?"
"This batch is one thousand one hundred and sixty-three. ”
"The fleet is in batches every three days, and the time is urgent, so we must leave the ship today, so that they can immediately clean their bodies, isolate the sick, and get on the ship!"
Seeing the naval ships of the sailors and the dense armor soldiers, these homeless people were frightened and relieved. Gas.
This situation will not deceive people, it seems that these people are indeed sent by the Son of Heaven of the Southern Dynasty.
So, these homeless people were obedient as sheep, and under the scolding of the general flag of the hundred households below, they obediently cleaned and registered, and entered the ship.
Half an hour later, the ship set sail overnight, but fortunately it was on the coast, and it didn't matter, and it went all the way south.
