Chapter 247: Refugees (Part 1)

Jinling. Secret Pavilion

Chen Qing held the note and kept walking towards the inner door. At this time, several eunuchs and officials from the Secret Palace entered and left, holding the note Chen.

After entering the imperial study room, he saw Wang Hongyi standing with his hands down.

After completing a copy of the book, Wang Hongyi sat upright and asked, "What's the matter?"

Chen Qing looked up and saw that Wang Hongyi was calm and his spirit was determined to listen to his words. There was a kind of Junyan. He swallowed his saliva and said, "Lu Gao, the governor of Beiwu Jie, agreed to the request to cut Linhai County into a port, and purchase grain and weapons at a price of 30% higher than the southern market price."

"The Ministry of Revenue reported it and raised 500,000 stones of rice, but it was a sea, thousands of miles apart, and the shipping cost was very high, and 30% was just not a loss."

"The Ministry of Revenue said that although the nine southern provinces are rich, they have been deployed over the years and have been in a state of cultivation for too short. If you continue to raise food, you may suffer losses in the local area."

"You can't give food at once, you can give more weapons!" Wang Hongyi pondered and said, "There are 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Beiwu City, and you can maintain your combat effectiveness as long as you transport 30,000 stones per month."

"Five hundred thousand stones are enough. It will be transported in batches and ten months. There are still 20,000 stones left to other counties and counties. When they come back, they will bring refugees with them." Wang Hongyi said, smiling: "In fact, although it is not a loss, there are still a lot of money. The north has been in a year and the treasury is abundant."

This is actually war money. One can strengthen the strength to resist the Hu people, two can expand their influence, three can make profits, four can plunder refugees, and five can gain time. These benefits are endless.

In Wang Hongyi's eyes, a cauldron was huge at this time, and the purple air inside gathered but did not disperse. Outside, the seven-color canopy, and a trace of auspicious air hung down, covering the whole body.

Just as I was speaking, a light green cloud came from nowhere. When I was stimulated, the cauldron turned slightly to absorb and transform it, which showed how powerful it was.

This situation is very rare. In the past, when it was white, red, and yellow, there were often one person and one county, and there were obvious changes in luck. However, after unifying the south, there were hundreds of counties. Now, one county has increased, and one county has decreased, or a few talents have been obtained, and there was no obvious fluctuation in luck at all.

Now this strategy alone will make my tripod slightly shake, which shows how great the impact is.

It seems that the governor of Beiwu Jiedu Lu Gao has a dragon spirit and has a foundation. If he supports him, even if he has a strong momentum, he will be difficult to win for a while. As long as he fights for a few months, he may change the general trend of the world, which will naturally gain the support of luck.

Thinking of his previous life, Wang Hongyi felt thoughtful.

I saw that the aura on the top stabilized in this moment.

The tripod circled, and the white and red qi of the people and the organization continued to seep in, and these white and red qi turned green and purple. Every time they turned, they were concentrated, leaving a space empty, and then white and red qi poured in and filled.

At present, there are 60% of the purple qi. If you can obtain Luoyang and occupy the heartland of the Central Plains, and use the Yellow River as the boundary, you will definitely reach the peak of the purple qi.

He smiled and said quietly: "You continue to preside over the leadership. If you can do this, you will be successful. You will establish an official system and express rewards and punishments. Even if you are talented, you will have to accumulate merit and qualifications. Only if you are promoted - you can go."

Chen Qing was so grateful that he said, "I am afraid, dare not die if I fail to serve you?"

After giving a big gift, I took a few steps back and left.

Youzhou

It is two hundred miles away from Beiwu City. Before the war reaches this point, the panic atmosphere has spread. Although a large number of people still dare not leave their hometowns, some people flee.

Can hard-to-give family wealth compare to life?

The cruelty of the Hu people spread in Youzhou. The slaughter of Yushan and the driving of sheep in Yuyang made the entire Youzhou shocked.

At this time, a group of refugees from thousands of people came to this town, and the officials here disappeared.

Although there were many refugees, because of the management of several respected clan elders, there was no trouble. In ancient times, migration was all about relocation, and the lonely refugees basically had no life.

However, they were in a hurry all the way, shocked, afraid and tired. These people were all covered in dust and looked quite embarrassed.

"It's here, it's finally here." Seeing a small town appearing in front of you, the middle-aged man who led the lead lit up his eyes.

"Class leader, is it here?" There were three people around this middle-aged man, all of whom were tall and majestic, and looked extraordinary.

One of them looked at the town, frowned, and said with a little uneasy: "This is a road that is facing the official road, but if you go to the wrong place and go wrong with those people, it is not a trivial matter."

"This place is not far from Beiwu City. Is it really okay to stop here?"

The Hu people broke through Beiwu City and attacked here. What should they do if they were unarmed people?

"Don't worry, this place is here, there will be no mistake. A few days ago, when the official told me, he mentioned Anhe Town. Look, isn't this town the Anhe Town?" The middle-aged man said, pointing to the stone tablet in front of the town gate.

The three of them looked at it and it was indeed written on the stone tablet in front of the town.

Even so, I was still a little worried. I was carrying it behind me, but there were thousands of relatives (small villagers) who made a mistake. How could I meet my ancestors?

"Class leader, we all listen to you, but are those officials trustworthy?" someone asked again.

"Don't worry, the official is so proud and a noble person who earns his salary. Why should we deceive? We have nothing now. Besides people, there is something to be used by people?"

"We saw the opportunity quickly and escaped from Yuyang. Now we have no way out. Even if we are really abducted and become slaves, it is better than being displaced now."

"And the official said it clearly. The emperor has already appeared in the south. The King of Chu is the true emperor. The emperor is compassionate and sees us miserable. He specially sent a boat to pick us up and help us to the south. How could the emperor deceive others in this matter?"

"The patriarch said it right. The emperor has millions of people and he still cares about us. He can really go to the south and get the land. Not only can his life be protected, but he can live a good life. Do you think?"

"Yes, I heard that the land in the south is fertile, the people live and work in peace, the emperor is kind, and the taxes are not heavy. If you can really go to the Southern Dynasty, then it will be blessed by gods and Buddhas."

When the people around him heard this, they all agreed, yearning for the Southern Dynasty, but they were still worried about the situation in front of them.

"Clan leader, it's either we don't believe in you or the emperor. But now the war in Youzhou is in chaos, or the Southern Dynasties really sent people to recruit us. If we don't come online and miss it, how can we get there?

"Yes, patriarch, the town is very deserted. If they don't come, what will we do next?" Many people were talking.

The patriarch rubbed his hands, feeling unsure, but comforted everyone: "Don't panic, Beiwu City has not been occupied by the Hu people. It is 200 miles away from Beiwu City. Even Beiwu City can't be defended. For a moment, the Hu people can't hit this place. How can that happen? Just relax and enter Anhe Town first. Three days later, the people from the Southern Dynasty will not come. It will not be too late for us to continue our journey tomorrow morning. What do you think?"

It is related to everyone's lives, and even the patriarch is not easy to make a decision and ask everyone for their opinions.

"Since the clan leader said, wait here for three days!" After a while, one of the three spoke, and the other two hesitated for a moment and agreed.

The patriarch who took the lead in each room agreed. What else can others do?

One after another, everyone agreed.

Seeing that no one had opposed it, the patriarch said, "Everyone agreed with me and said, let's go to the town first! We were tired after traveling for several days and nights. After entering the town, we had a good rest."

Everyone agreed after hearing this.

There was no one in Anhe Town at this time, which reduced them a lot of trouble.

Because they were fleeing with food, and for a moment, the smell of smoke and porridge was filled with. No one entered the room and used it in the open space. After eating some things, the exhausted refugees lay down in a row, and some of them started to fight.

The patriarch and the legitimate houses of each house sent people to patrol the town gate in turn, and once there was a situation, they would retreat immediately.

When the sun rose to the middle, there was a sound of horse hooves outside the town.

Several refugees who were sent out to patrol ran in with pale faces and shouted, "No! Cavalry are coming!"

cavalry?

After being screamed by them, more than a thousand refugees were panicked.

Before there was any time to react, a team of about a hundred cavalry entered the town. The shining armor made the people feel scared, but they did not seem to be Hu.

Under the cautious and fearful gaze of the refugees, the cavalry battalion was scanning the eyes and asked, "Who is the patriarch of the Liu family?"

"It's just a villain!" When the officer called him, the middle-aged clan leader quickly stood up and said in panic.

"We are here to pick you up. Are these people willing to go to the Southern Dynasty?" asked, looking at the people present.

When they heard that it was from the Southern Dynasty, these refugees stood up with a little hope in their eyes.

The head of the Liu family said, "Yes, they are all willing to follow."

"Let's go, there is a county harbor fifty miles away. You can take a boat to leave Youzhou and go to the Southern Dynasty." The officer said.

The middle-aged patriarch hurriedly bowed: "Thank you the emperor for your kindness, thank you General."

With the goal, the refugees raised their spirits and set off with the army. Along the way, the cavalry slowed down their horses and followed the hundred people behind them, but the refugees still struggled.

At dusk, when the sea breeze blew on his cheeks, everyone showed a happy expression on their faces.

"Here, thank goodness, finally arrived!"

The port in the county is not big, but at this time, many ships entered and exited the port.

The white sails are dotted with masts, and the huge ships of hundreds of tons are already eye-catching.

On the dock, several people who were formally wearing Thirteenth Division uniforms were waiting with their waist knives. When they saw that these refugees arrived, they were all relieved.

"These ten ships are waiting for you, and they finally sent the people. They have never encountered any trouble along the way, right?" asked a thousand households.

"The situation in Youzhou is turbulent, and the government is too busy to take care of itself. I want to leave a way out. What else can I encounter?" Ying Zheng's words were faintly ridiculed by Youzhou.

After hearing this, Baihu nodded and said, "That's right, have you counted it? How many people are there?"

"This group is one thousand one hundred and sixty-three."

"The fleet is a batch every three days, and time is urgent. We must drive the ship today so that they can clean their bodies immediately, isolate the sick patients and get on board!" The Qianhu glanced at it and said sternly.

Seeing the navy's military ships and densely packed armored soldiers, these refugees were afraid and relieved.

This situation will not lie. It seems that these people were indeed sent by the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty.

So, these refugees were as obedient as sheep, and under the scolding of the Hundred Houses General Banners below, they cleaned and registered and entered the ship.

Half an hour later, the ship sailed overnight. Fortunately, it was on the coast, so it didn't matter. He walked south all the way.
