After everyone arrived in Quyang County and inspected Quyang County, they were basically sure that Chuzhou would have a severe drought this year.

"No news is coming back in Bozhou?"

Huo Bao was very surprised.

Since Huo Wu and his son won the Chuzhou Army in June last year, Huo Wu has sent people to collect information from various places.

There were intermediaries from various forces in Jinling City, and the Chuzhou army also inserted into the four forces.

Song Lin was dealing with government affairs around Mr. Lin, and also paid attention to news from various places. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly: "I have been staring at several Baishan forces before. The news in Bozhou is mostly about disputes between Baishan forces in Bozhou, and there are also recruitment matters..."

"We need to find out carefully and determine the scope of the drought!"

Huo Bao thought for a while and said.

In addition to preventing the white shirts in Bozhou and white shirts in Taizhou at that time, we must also strengthen local public security and prepare for resettlement of refugees.

To put it bluntly, sometimes refugees are equivalent to bandits.

It was Huo Bao and his friends who fled from Nanshan Village in March last year. The first group of road bandits they encountered were refugees from Lingshui County.

If you are optimistic, refugees will be the population.

Chuzhou had a famine two years ago, and the population lost several percent of the population last year.

When Deng Jian was born, more than 20,000 people were recruited in a county, and every family had male men to serve in the military.

Hezhou and Luzhou were not affected significantly, but the recruitment was not light last year.

Who made the Chuzhou army at that time have few soldiers? Hezhou's troops wished that more people would be better?

Even if the people of Hezhou are weak and less bloody, they are more of them used as logistics soldiers.

In Luzhou, it was built by the former Luzhou magistrate, and all the singles were recruited, which shows how powerful the competition was.

Later, the Chuzhou army picked up the bargain. In addition to letting some old and weak and singles, the other Luzhou recruits took over.

The Chuzhou Army, which was dominated by Quyang soldiers and the group of new Luzhou soldiers, became the main force of the Chuzhou Army after several conquests.

The surviving soldiers have now been promoted to at least two or three levels; those with good skills have become thousands of households, and even deputy generals are also numerous.

When the Chuzhou army crossed the river and the soldiers became rich, the recruitment was not as cruel as that.

Nowadays, compared with Jiangnan, Chuzhou, Hezhou and Luzhou are all short of population, which is just enough to take refugees.

It only takes thorough preparations to contain and resettle.

Otherwise, Chuzhou, which had just recovered, would be in chaos again.

Hezhou and Luzhou, which have initially achieved results in military farming, will also suffer losses.

What's more, it's up to Jinling to decide.

It’s still good now that the plants and trees sprout, even if they eat grass roots, they can fill them.

There is also summer cultivation and autumn harvest that can be counted on, and ordinary people will not leave their hometowns.

When the autumn and winter seasons are in the withering of everything, it is the time to escape famine.

Huo Bao wrote a handwritten letter to his father, asking someone to send it back to Jinling, mentioning the strengthening of public security in Chuzhou, Hezhou and Luzhou, and also preparing to accept refugees.

The officialdom in Quyang County was cleaned up once last year because of privately increasing commercial taxes, and it also learned a lesson. Now it is very responsible from top to bottom and dare not overcome it at all.

Everyone knows that the so-called Chuzhou Army came out of Quyang County.

There were three villages and two, three thousand people on Hei Python Mountain, plus more than 20,000 Quyang soldiers recruited by Deng Jianqiang, which was the original Chuzhou army.

The foundation of several marshals, except for the Shuijin tribe who were recruited by Chuzhou Prefecture, the other marshals, Deng Jian, Ma Village Master, Du Laoba and others were all mainly those of Quyang County.

Especially under Deng Jian, in addition to Zhang Duwei, Li Duwei, Wang Duwei, etc., who are the only elderly, there are also a group of middle-level personnel who have also made their debut one after another.

These people all live in Quyang County for generations.

And the 23,000 Quyang soldiers at that time, the most powerful ones have been promoted to thousands of households.

Among the Chuzhou army, among the middle and high-ranking generals, there are more than 100 people from Quyang.

Now that they are attached to the Chuzhou Army, these families are also rising.

But the "tax increase case" from last year is enough to warn these "upstarts".

Even the Wang family's in-laws were dealt with, let alone the others?

You should know that the Zhang, Li and Wang families who followed Deng Jian seemed to be incomparable to Zhang Duwei. Li Duwei was valued, but the eldest sister of the Wang family was married to Huo Bao, and the Wang family also became the in-laws' marriage.

Those who can become Huo's in-laws are all people like Deng Jian, Ma Village Master, and Marshal Yu. The Wang family can be among them, which is enough for people not to underestimate them.

After Wang Duwei's brother-in-law took over as the magistrate of Quyang County last year, the reason why he dared to make money in Quyang County was somewhat relied on this.

As a result, he was dismissed and the dirty silver was recovered. He confiscated the hard labor camp for five years, and the three generations of his ancestors and grandchildren were prohibited from entering the government.

Such a ruling does not lose his life, but it is even more desperate than losing his life.

Seeing that the court was about to fail, white shirts everywhere flourished.

Even if the Chuzhou army could not win the whole world, it would still have the capital to seize Huainan and Jiangnan. The elderly people in Quyang County would follow the crowd and dogs to ascend to heaven.

Only the former county magistrate, one of them committed a crime, and the whole family had no future, and only regret and hatred.

The Supervision Department then informed the prefectures of Quyang County of this "tax increase case" and did not polish it much, and wrote it clearly from discovery to disposal.

Officials from all over the country were very alert after seeing this.

It seems that this money is not enough. No matter what excuse it is, there is no room for maneuver...

Everyone stayed in Binjiang County for one day, but stopped in Quyang for three days.

Although Aunt Huo Liu did not come back, Huo Bao still planned to go back to Nanshan Village.

There were still several graves in the yard of the five-bedroom Huo family. Last year, when I passed by, I didn’t care about moving the graves, so Huo Bao only worshiped in the yard.

This year we should also move the grave and clean the yard. In the future, the Huo family will have a place to settle down when they return to their hometown.

In addition to the yard of Huo Bao's family, the yards of other Huo family relatives either collapsed or were assigned by the government to refugees who settled in Nanshan Village.

After hearing about it, Du Laoba, Song Lin and others wanted to go with him, but Huo Bao refused.

Finally, Shui Jin brought fifty people to accompany him on horseback and accompanied Huo Bao back to Nanshan Village.

Compared with last year, Nanshan Village is less angry now.

The sound of horse hooves at the entrance of the village alarmed the villagers to explore.

The one who came forward was the old man from last year, Li Zhengniu's abacus in Nanshan Village.

After recognizing Huo Baolai, Niu Supan breathed a sigh of relief. He looked behind Huo Bao carefully, but did not see anyone else. He couldn't help but be disappointed: "Just Xiaobao is back alone? Didn't your brother Niu and the others say he's back to take a look?"

Huo Bao said: "Brother Niu is in Raozhou, Brother Niu and Brother Qing are both in Jinling, and I can't get rid of my job..." As he spoke, he asked someone to hand over the things, which were four pieces of cloth and fifty taels of silver: "This was prepared by Brother Niu and Brother Qing, and asked me to transfer it to Uncle Abacus..."

Niu Dalang, Niu Erlang and Niu Qing learned last year that some tribe members had returned to Nanshan Village and were all very happy.

Even if the relationship is a little far apart, it is still a tribe member.

This time Huo Bao returned to Chuzhou, Niu Dalang didn't know that Niu Erlang and Niu Qing discussed preparing cloth and silver and asked Huo Bao to bring it back.

Niu Aba Pan looked at the things, surprised and didn't dare to accept them.

Huo Bao personally handed over and said, "Brother Qing was thinking about eating pickles from our Nanshan Village. If Uncle Abacus had one at home, he could prepare a can for me to take it back..."

Niu Ababa said hurriedly: "I have it, I'll ask your aunt to prepare..."

Huo Bao looked at the grave in his yard and said, "I am coming back this time to move the graves to the tribe and fellow villagers... Last March, the Huo family was the Niu family who suffered a disaster. The situation was urgent at that time and there was no time to get buried, so the two surnames were buried in the same place... Now that I am rebuilt, there is still a constitution to distinguish the bones... "

Huo Bao knew about blood type classification, so he naturally did not believe in the ancient saying that he dripped blood to identify bones, but many people could not stand it.

When the burial is re-established, it is necessary to identify it like this.

After all, they are from other people in the past. It would have been fine if there was no conditions before. Now, there is no need to continue to be buried together when moving the grave.

Niu Supan's expression was gloomy: "Everyone listens to Xiaobao... When will Xiaobao start construction? I'll call someone now..."

Huo Bao looked up at the sky.

He set out from the county town early in the morning and came quickly, but now it is only early in the morning.

The villagers' gang leader, plus the fifty soldiers he brought back, was almost done in one day.

"Stay early or late, just come now!"
