A large Mongolian horse team invaded, came from the north and from the east, slaughtered villages, killed people and set fires. When you escape by chance, where will you go next?

Unless they are pure mountain people, if they survive in the mountains for a few days, some people will be unlucky, encounter the Mongolian horse team on their way back, or think they have encountered the rescue of the official army, and some people die under the atrocities of disorder, but those who can think know where to be safe and close.

The survivors in the suffering area had no choice but to go to Huairen County. Young and strong people with strong mobility and survival rushed over one after another. After all, there was no destruction here, and there were supplies and order.

When Zhu Da and his friends came to Huairen County, most of the refugees were residents of nearby villages, and a considerable number of their homes were not destroyed. They were just frightened. When the Tartars retreated and confirmed their safety, these people returned home. At that time, there were not many truly homeless refugees, and the twenty servants recruited by Zhu Da were part of them.

When the cheap materials from the county government were purchased and went out of the city to sell them, they spent several days one after another. When they returned to the city, they fought with Fang Ming and Yang Shouwen and threatened the county magistrate. When Qin Juren entered the city to determine the situation, they were busy and busy again. In this process, real refugees entered the city one after another.

"...It's dark under the light..." Zhu Da said self-deprecatingly. Those who are as powerful as him came to Huairen County, but he thought that other young people would stop and remain motionless. It sounds ridiculous.

But his speculation is actually not wrong. Ordinary villages have no knowledge and experience. Young people have strong survival ability, but the accumulation brought by age is very weak. They subconsciously stay in the most familiar place, hoping for a lucky change or some unrealistic thoughts. This is why mob gangs gather along the way, and various gangs will rob you and me.

However, such fantasies and confusion will soon be defeated by cruel reality. The villages after the destruction do not have enough supplies to survive. Even if they rob, they may not be able to accumulate enough food for winter. Moreover, the alternation of autumn and winter makes the weather get colder and colder, and hunger and cold make everyone unable to persevere.

The supplies were exhausted and hungered and cold, everyone could only find a way out. Perhaps some people wanted to go to Datong, perhaps some people wanted to go to several thousand-household houses in the Zuowei of Datong, perhaps some people died on the road, or perhaps they were missing, but most of the people came to Huairen County, and some people stopped in unspoiled villages around Huairen County.

"......There are no so many tasks for them to do, even if the landlords' food rations are not rich..." This is Chang Kai's explanation, and Zhu Da also agreed with this statement. The most prosperous place in Huairen County is Zhengjiaji. The county's industry and commerce are not prosperous, it is nothing more than farming. There are farmers in the fields who are busy with long-term work, so there are no extra opportunities for others. At best, some people are greedy for cheap jobs, so how can they work for a long time?

Although Zhu Da made the mistake of "darkness under the lamp" in the details, the general trend is correct. From the disaster caused by the bloodbath of the invaders to the present, the escaped young and strong people were mainly young and strong. They also reached the most embarrassing time. Suddenly, an official sent out to recruit people, saying that "the master of juren" and "the young and gentleman of Zhu" were financial leaders. The young and strong refugees were not well-informed, but once they inquired, they knew the deeds of these two people. The promise of food and accommodation was trustworthy, and they immediately came to vote.

"There will be many villages that have not been harmed by the Tartars. When these people can come, there will be fewer and fewer people in the future."

"The Tartars are really a sin, how many people have died!"

Zhu Da and Chang Kai have a rough estimate of how many people will be recruited next. There will not be too many people. There are also bloody battles by the Tartars this time, which is unknown to others. There are too many people killed by them and indirectly killed by them. The people who come here are survivors - but not many...

"Since people are recruited, they cannot let go. What I lack the most is people. People first settle into the farm. Don't let them be hungry these days, and don't let them eat enough. If they don't spend enough food and other money, they will tell me, and they will also use the people from the strong and fast classes to guard them. After they left their hometown and broke their homes, they will definitely not be able to follow the rules." Zhu Da gave a few words of advice.

After hearing this, Chang Kai shook his head. Zhu Da thought he was saying something wrong. Chang Kai gave a thumbs up and said, "My little master, how did you grow up? The old business affairs in the yamen that have been in the decades may not be as thoughtful as you."

Zhu Da smiled and didn't respond. This was a compliment for others, but Zhu Da himself knew what was going on. After a while, everyone got closer and closer. Chang Kai didn't deliberately chat for a long time. The recruitment of personnel had to arrange things. Now he had to arrange things and hurriedly left.

From beginning to end, neither of them mentioned the consumption of food, because it was nothing if there was enough money. Not to mention the grain tax collected in the county warehouse, I just said that the big households in the county, especially the masters and leaders of three shifts and six rooms, who can interfere in taxes, the food in the family will definitely not be less. The commerce in the county is not prosperous, and there is little gold and silver currency. The wealth in everyone's hands is often physical, and this food is a kind of food.

There is no shortage of food and grass on the large surface of Datong Border Town, and the bulk grain sales are not affordable for Huairen County. So if you survive every year, there is no way out for money. In the past, supplying grain to Zhengjiaji was a big business in the county, but Zhengjiaji consumed far less than that of all parties in the county, let alone this year, even this road was gone.

There is so much grain in the grain stockpile, and some people are willing to buy it with silver and copper coins. It is warmly welcome. Moreover, it has just passed the autumn harvest. The price of grain is low. Some people come to buy it and they are reluctant to sell it. They can still keep the price down.

If you want to talk about whether Chang Kai will talk carefully and whether he will give up his own pockets, he has confidence in Zhu Da. The reason for this is not to say that Chang Kai can have noble moral integrity. Talking about ethics with the old officials in the government office is a joke. The reason why Chang Kai will do it with his heart is very simple. He thinks that following Zhu Da can have greater benefits, and this benefit is not a small piece of cake. It has been fulfilled a little, and in the future, it will be dazzling. Anyone can do the trade-offs and weights, and Chang Kai will do it.

After seeing off Chang Kai, Zhu Da went to Fang Ming's house to find Zhou Qingyun. He was leading the servants to clean up and settle down. When Qin Chuan was not in the house, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were relatively free. As for Qin Qin and Wang Xiaohong, they would act with the servants in the company of the handlebar-style woman, but they would not be in the same house.

"All servants have to practice these days, so I will practice according to my methods." Zhu Da specially reminded him and left after he finished speaking.

"Don't you practice together? Have you forgotten what you said?" Before Zhu Da went out, Zhou Qingyun shouted behind him.

Zhu Da turned around and smiled and said, "I've been busy these days, and I'll practice every day in the next days."

Is this perfunctory or impossible to judge whether it is said this? Zhou Qingyun shook his head. He knew Zhu Da. Since he had an idea, it would be difficult for others to persuade him to come back.

Leaving here, Zhu Da walked all the way to the blacksmith shop, and the servants were all practicing, but there were two deputy servants following him. Now Chang Kai specially sent people to wait for the Zhu family to serve Qin Chuan and Zhu Da. He looked down and there was almost no money for money. However, this work was not the close friend of Deputy Chief Chang. This was a good opportunity to curry favor with Master Qin and Master Zhu at close range. As long as you have a relationship, you will be unable to eat and use it in the future.

The slightly neat streets in Huairen County are the area where Zhu Da lives. The second-class one is the main street connecting the city gate, but there is nothing to say about the rest of the places. This is not as good as Zhu Da’s memory for more than 20 years, as compared with Zheng Family Ji, and Hebian New Village.

The two deputy officers who accompanied Zhu Da were as confused as their former colleagues, thinking that this young man was so excited to stare at the dirty and messy place.

The treatment of visiting the blacksmith shop this time was very different from last time. Zhu Da walked in. Before the deputy servant could shout, Zhang Dachui quickly came up and bowed with a smile on his face, looking as if he had done the diligence he could do to the limit.

"Master Zhu, please come in and prepare tea and snacks for you right away." Zhang Dachui's attentiveness comes from sincerity. Not to mention that Zhu Da is the most popular figure in Huairen County. The business last time also made the blacksmith shop a lot. Such a good customer came to the door and had to greet him with a smile.

"I'm anxious to get one hundred shovels, one hundred hoes, and thirty sledgehammers for stonemasons. I'm eager to get these, so I'll start doing them now. I'll calculate the deposit and go to my house to get them, pay for the cash, and deliver the rest." Zhu Da made the right way, stood in the shop and placed an order.

Zhang Dachui was stunned at first, and then the attentive smile on his face became much stronger. Good customers came to the door to give a big business. Who else would they please if they didn't please such people?

"You should hire someone here. After finishing this business, there are still ten times the amount waiting for you to do it."

After saying this, a blacksmith who was pounding the red iron parts not far away, tilted his body, and the hammer hit the anvil, causing a lot of noise. Then the entire blacksmith shop became quiet. More than 200 pieces of farm tools and tools were already a big business, and it had to be added ten times. This was really amazing.

Moreover, with this young master's reputation, he is really not a big talk person. Not to mention the blacksmith and apprentice, even Zhang Dachui was shocked. After he reacted, he was so flattering that he was about to kneel on the ground.

"You should find a special manager to accept it. If you can't do this, it seems too fake to curry favor with others." Zhu Da said rudely, Zhang Dachui was a little embarrassed. Someone in the blacksmith shop laughed, obviously not only Zhu Da thought so.
