On October 21, the two companies of the second regiment of Zhaoziying, and the 150 teams from Lianzhuang and Lianbao departments were trained, and the accountants and shopkeepers even had more than 40 characters in the world. They were led by Lei Cai.

I went down to the Kongjiazhuang area and had already called him. In the past, Kong Jiuying's property would be accepted by Zhaoziying. Before they went, the Xu family had organized hundreds of strong men to go there.

In the 44th year of Wanli, the first snowfall in Xuzhou in winter fell on October 25. The snowflakes were not big, but no one could feel the upcoming coldness.

On this day, Zhaoying, Hejiazhuang, was extremely busy, because when it was almost dark, thousands of people came to Hejiazhuang, to be precise, thousands of refugees from Fengyang Prefecture.

A porridge shed had been built in Hejiazhuang. At that time, it was said that it was to respond to the call of Yunshan Temple and accumulate merits for the people of Xuzhou, so it also had to sit in good deeds. As soon as this statement came out, no one believed it at all, just guessing another

It is of great significance. When Zhaoziying will listen to the call of Yunshan Temple, it is really a joke.

But the porridge shed was built, and the grain stored in Xiaoshitou Village and surrounding villages began to be transported here, which made it serious, but a victim had never seen it, because there were already rules here, and beggars and others regarded it as refugees.

, caught work in the farmland, who would dare to come here for those beggars who ran around the world? Unexpectedly, this setting will be used today.

The thick porridge was boiling in the big pot. The person in charge was holding chopsticks in his hands and inspecting the big pot one by one. He inserted the chopsticks into the pot. If the chopsticks were not poured, he would be considered qualified. If the chopsticks were poured, he would add rice immediately, which would make the meal complete.

It's possible to be more real.

Wooden bowls and wooden spoons are all rough, but the quantity is enough, because those refugees from Shandong do their work during the day and are busy at night. If you make a wooden bowl and wooden spoon, you can get a penny.

Five, six words.

The refugees from Fengyang are not much better than those who came from Shandong back then. The only advantage is that they are not that crazy. They are looking for a place to live in despair.

I drank hot porridge and hot water here in Hejiazhuang. Many people cried loudly, and many of them had a slightly poor health. They fell to death when they arrived at Hejiazhuang. The tightened thread suddenly broke. The whole person

There was no way to hold on, because there was a single open space not far from Hejiazhuang. This open space was specially used for burning and burying, with fire light soaring into the sky and black smoke soaring into the sky.

There are so many refugees coming here. Those who know the news in Xuzhou are stunned, but everyone breathed a sigh of relief because they have built a porridge shed in advance and are not worried about something big. Some smart people think about it more, right?

I had known for a long time that these people would come? Or build a porridge shed to attract refugees? Of course, smart people would not talk nonsense.

Some people were also surprised and said that thousands of refugees gathered in Xuzhou. Zhaoziying may have said hello, so no one was alarmed, but how could it be unknown on the ground of Suzhou, Fengyang Prefecture? There are also those who traveled between Fengyang and Xuzhou at this time.

The merchants from both places said that they had never seen any refugees in the brigade when walking on the official road. They occasionally saw officers and soldiers and regiments, but occasionally saw more than a hundred people from afar, but when they arrived, they found that the person was missing.

After closer inspection, I found that people were hiding on both sides of the road or on the mountain.

The refugees in Fengyang Prefecture are like this. They are led by those skilled in the team. They are led by guides on the ground of Xuzhou. Then they gather at the border of the prefecture to form a brigade and enter Xuzhou.

When it is within the territory, some people distribute food and relief.

The weather has become cold, and many refugees who are frozen and hungry have died on the official road, but no one is sad and regretful. Now there is finally a glimmer of hope ahead of them.

But at this time, not everyone wants to escape. They are hungry and desperate, making them feel that being a cow, horse and slave are okay. After all, that is alive, and a large number of people have walked out of the mountains and forests and returned to their hometowns.

But when they go back, those who occupy their land do not have a grain of food for them, and they will die for themselves, and they will not be valuable until the spring is sown.

After experiencing this, some people had to start escaping again, but the rule of Fengyang Prefecture is to serve the people in the village, and wander around elsewhere to become thieves and bandits, and they will be killed without any attention.

Being killed, starved to death or going to Xuzhou to find a glimmer of life. People with clear minds know how to choose, and not everyone is heading north. At the end of the 44th year of Wanli, Luzhou Prefecture around Fengyang Prefecture,

In Chuzhou, Huai'an Prefecture, Yangzhou Prefecture and other places, the prices of people in the market have fallen sharply. Whether used for living adults or for boys and girls with wide uses, the prices have fallen by more than 30% compared with previous years.

The refugees were temporarily staying in Hejiazhuang and ate some food. After a simple screening, a company from Zhaoziying would escort to the lower courtyard of Yunshan Temple in Xiaoxian and Dangshan. Some refugees would be placed there, while others would be

Wait for the Yellow River to freeze, then cross the river to the Kongjiazhuang.

Now there are floating ice on the Yellow River, and the boating is extremely difficult and can only wait.

"The first time, more than 3500 people, the second time, more than 300 people, the third time, one thousand two hundred people, and the fourth time, five hundred people, no one has come in the past three days, these people are Tianzhuang, Xiayuan, Xiaoxian County.

It is enough to be placed, not even the other side of Dangshan." In Zhao Jin's study in Hejiazhuang, Zhao Jin and his partners gathered together to discuss.

Listening to Ruhui saying this, Zhao Jin had no relaxed expression on his face. He turned to look at Zhong Gonghui who was kneeling on the side and asked, "Do you say there are at least 60,000? Didn't it mean that many of them disperse and many of them starve to death.

, There are still many who have gone elsewhere. Why did the above 50,000 suddenly become 60,000?"

Compared to the last time I saw Zhong Gonghui's face was exhausted, but his complexion was much better than that time, and his eyes became more energetic. Upon hearing the inquiry, Zhong Gonghui quickly replied: "The eunuchs and dog officials."

The pressure was too tight, and the people who originally wanted to return home all came back one after another, so there were only a few more people."

Zhao Jin nodded, Zhou Xuezhi was holding an abacus in his hand and holding the account book. He heard these words quickly calculating, his brows tightened and his face looked ugly. At this time, he looked up and said, "Master, I can't pretend, Kongjiazhuang's place."

There are many people around, and those people can't drive them away. Including the food stored there, and the ones that Peixian and Fengxian can solve. Now the entire Xuzhou can only accept 20,000 refugees at most, and our savings will be required.

Consumption of one third.”

At this time, Zhou Xuezhi looked heartbroken. This is also a common problem in managing accounts and money. After being managed for a long time, he would treat it as something in his pocket.

"Are you counting the Xu family?" Zhao Jin asked, and Zhou Xuezhi shook his head.

"Brother, 25,000 people are already a great merit. If you take a step by step and eat too much in one breath, it will easily become overwhelmed." Wang Zhaojing said.

Everyone in the room had the same attitude, that is, what they did now is enough, and it was enough to win the 25,000 people. As for the others, if there were no guides from Zhaoziying, there would be no small amount of food provided along the way,

They can't even reach Xuzhou.

Hearing this, Zhong Gonghui on the other side suddenly became anxious. He kowtowed and begged repeatedly without hesitation, and said anxiously: "Mr. Jin is kind, Master Jin is kind. There are so many people who will die one day later. Master Jin is this one.

If the road is blocked, I am afraid that the mountains and valleys will not be preserved. This is tens of thousands of lives, please.”

"Master, Fengyang Xingshang came, and the matter was urgently reported. Xingshang was covered in blood and seriously injured." At this moment, the servants' report rang outside, and their request was to try to explain things clearly in short sentences.

Fengyang Shangshang, who is a name for Zhao, is to put it bluntly, who were sent to Fengyang Mansion to inquire about the news and lead the refugee team. Some of them were temporarily recruited by the Jianghu people, while others were good at the Inner Guards.

"Bring it here and find a doctor," Zhao Jin said loudly.

The outside agreed, but not long after, the door opened and a wounded person was carried in on a stretcher. The blood on the injured person's body had been wiped with Yu Jing and the wounds were bandaged.

"I was shot in an arrow on my legs and shoulders, so it was not convenient to get up and kowtow to Master Jin." The man said respectfully.

Liu Yong went over and looked back and signaled to Zhao Jin. Zhao Jin immediately understood that this person should be a character in the inner guard camp, but he called him "Jin Ye" like outsiders. He probably did not say anything about it for the sake of concealment.

, just said, "Just lie down and say it, and you can keep it well after you finish speaking, and you don't have to worry about everything."

"Mr. Jin, I was originally guiding the refugees on Fuli Bridge. I had gathered more than 600 people in my hands. Now the water has frozen and I can cross the river directly. And there are no business travelers on the road at this time, even Bai Tian.

It was safe to walk, but for the sake of caution, the young man still followed the instructions, just walking in the dawn and dusk. A few people ran away in the team and didn't care, because these people were too confused, but they didn't walk for long, and the distance was about to be

About ten miles of water, I met more than a hundred officers and soldiers, dozens of regiments, and these people were still riding horses. They couldn't escape. I thought I could find a reason to get away with it, but I never thought that those people were indiscriminate.

, when he came up, he started to do something. The little one looked bad and rushed into the woods beside him. However, the other people did not have such good luck as the little one, so they dispersed."

The room calmed down, Zhao Jin looked at Zhong Gonghui with a gloomy face, and turned to the wounded again. The wounded continued to speak, "I was not injured that time, but after all the way back, I encountered three horse teams along the way, some were officers and soldiers, and some were regiment training.

Some people looked like green forest characters. When they were about to return to Xuzhou, they were caught up by the group of green forest characters and were hit by two arrows. Fortunately, Zhaoziying arranged someone to be on the border of the prefecture, so he hurriedly sent them.

I'll come back."
