Seeing the injured person being carried down, the room fell silent. After a while, Zhao Jin turned to Zhong Gonghui and said, "I will arrange more than a dozen guards for you. You pretend to be a merchant who sells goods. Now go back to Fengyang Mansion. See what happened. Find out the news and come back. You don't have to worry too much. I will do what I promise you."

"Bingfeng, you arrange for the good players in your team to follow you, and Xiaoyong also arranges a few people." Zhao Jin issued an order, and everyone agreed there.

Liu Yong would arrange the details of this kind of makeup inquiry. Zhong Gonghui originally wanted to kneel here and beg for kowtow, but the situation turned out to be like this and he left tactfully.

Speaking of the horse team, Zhao Jin remembered Qi San, turned around and asked again: "How is Qi San now?"

"Brother, Qi San is currently only in charge of the internal affairs of the horse team, but he is also very diligent and meticulous, and everyone is praising him." Dong Bingfeng replied.

"His two brothers will not leave the city now, but the brothers should have discussed it. They are all very calm and usually talk and laugh," Liu Yong added quickly.

After saying a few words, Zhao Jin suddenly fell silent. Several people in the room looked at each other and became quiet. The situation in front of him was indeed very troublesome. Although less than a few thousand people have arrived at the moment, the next number is more than 50,000 to 60,000. The materials and money consumed by so many people have moved the Zhaoziying, not to mention that this is a taboo that it touches itself, and what we are facing now is that Xuzhou can no longer accommodate it.

Chen Huang, Wang Zhaojing, Ji Xiang, Shi Manqiang, Dong Bingfeng, and Liu Yong all grew up with Zhao Jin. Cao Ruhui and Zhou Xuezhi are also natives in Xuzhou. Even though their knowledge is far beyond their peers, they are limited to Xuzhou after all, and they cannot even accommodate Xuzhou, which puts great pressure on everyone.

Look at me, I look at you, after the eyes were exchanged, everyone still looked at Zhao Jin. Zhao Jin would definitely come up with ideas. Whenever they were in a dilemma, everyone would think so.

"Call Qi San to come here." Zhao Jin suddenly spoke.

Immediately someone shouted and passed the order outside. The servants on duty ran out. Zhao Jin said in a deep voice: "These people must be taken. We don't know if it will be a disaster year next year or later, and whether there are so many people for us to recruit, so these people must."

Everyone nodded. Since they had a decision, the next thing was to do.

"We were wrong before. We thought we would come secretly to recruit refugees in Fengyang Mansion, otherwise it would be a big trouble. Now this approach needs to be changed. Mr. Cao, do you have anything to do with Fengyang Mansion?" Zhao Jin asked.

Yunshan Temple has a vast travel, not to mention that it was sheltered by the Fengyang eunuchs in the past, so it was naturally related to it. Ruhui nodded and admitted, and Zhao Jin said again: "You go to Fengyang Mansion to buy land, and the fields and mountains north of Fuli Bridge, just spend money to buy them. The local landlords in Fengyang Mansion recruit refugees. Who dares to say that they are not right?

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then smiled on their faces. Fengyang Mansion and Xuzhou were adjacent to each other, and they bought a large farm in the adjacent place, gathered refugees, and then transported them out directly. Anyway, no one could say anything wrong with their own farms and home use.

Ruhui's face was full of smiles, and she nodded repeatedly and said, "The master's plan is a good idea, my subordinates will make arrangements immediately."

After agreeing here, Qi San had been brought here outside. He cried and asked Zhao Jin to take revenge but had no result. It is estimated that the Qi brothers also knew their recklessness, and their words and deeds returned to their cautious care when they first met.

As soon as he entered the door, he greeted him. Zhao Jin asked straight to the point: "You said you were from Huai'an Mansion, are you familiar with that?"

Qi San was still a little confused and nodded subconsciously and replied: "The little one has been there for more than ten years and is very familiar with it."

These two questions were asked, Shi Manqiang didn't understand, Ji Xiang was thinking, and Chen Huang, Wang Zhaojing, Liu Yong and Ruhui all looked at Zhao Jin with incredible expressions on his face. Zhou Xuezhi was stunned and raised his head.

"How many days will it take to go from our Xuzhou to the grass nest that can hide people? Is it convenient to walk?" Zhao Jin continued to ask.

Qi San was stunned for a moment and then replied: "It's convenient. Walking along the Yellow River, there are no cities on both sides, and there are few large towns. In the next ten days, the Yellow River will freeze, and the canal will also freeze. Luoma Lake will have to be frozen at least half of it. It's very convenient to cross the river and the lake. You can walk no matter how you enter the grass nest."

"Brother, in a few days, it will be cold. If you go to the deserted weed beach, you may not even have a place to live. Going there will be a dead end." Wang Zhaojing said worriedly.

Zhao Jin had no expression on his face, but said calmly: "The world is so big, I only give them a place to live, and they should be satisfied. They are dead in Fengyang Mansion, and there may be a glimmer of hope there."

He did not avoid these words. Qi San was confused at the beginning, but at this time he was stunned. He didn't know if he understood it. He hurriedly said: "Master, you actually can't get food. Before the Caowo was in trouble, many victims escaped from autumn and winter. They worked for the wealthy families in Pizhou. In the winter, there were also many renovation work that required manpower. Moreover, Yu Cao and some production in the Caowo could be exchanged for food in Pizhou."

"What food is there over there?"

"There are many warehouses for grain over there. Many people make grains in summer and sell them in their spare time in winter." Qi San said familiarly.

Zhao Jin nodded slowly and said, "The grain used for wine exchange is probably the same way. That's not a desperate situation there, and there are still some people who can survive."

Qi San figured it out at this time, and knelt on the ground with a thud and said earnestly: "Master, the young man is very familiar with the place over there. The huge weeds can only live in places with rivers and water. There must be convenient dry roads and waterways, otherwise people cannot get in and out, and the goods are the same. The young man is willing to go there to lead the way.

"When it's useful, don't tell me what I said today. You can go down first," Zhao Jin said.

Qi San quickly kowtowed and agreed, and stood up and went out with excitement.

"He is smart. He can think that if we go to the grass nest in Huai'an Prefecture, we will inevitably have a conflict with the Feng family. Then he will have hope of revenge and other things." Zhao Jin teased with a smile.

Wang Zhaojing had a worried expression on his face and reminded in a heart-warming voice: "Brother, the Feng family is in great power. It's already a little trouble for us to recruit refugees. Are we in conflict with them again?"

"Xuzhou is too small. We are now in a difficult situation. We have to go out. Now we can only go to Huaian Prefecture and Fengyang Prefecture, so there will inevitably be conflicts. However, their family cannot do it blatantly in the grass nest, and we will not suffer any losses."

In late October, Zhaoziying was busy, and hundreds of refugees arrived in Xuzhou intermittently. Some of them settled in Zhaoziying, while others went directly to those shelter places.

Because the porridge shed was built early, everyone did not find it strange to the arrival of these refugees, but took it for granted.

Ruhui took dozens of people to Fengyang Prefecture. Xuzhou and Fengyang Prefecture are both places where people believe in Buddhism. There is a sign of Yunshan Temple, which is very useful in Suzhou. Suzhou is different from Xuzhou. The fields in Suzhou are relatively fertile and flat, and there are many rivers passing by, so irrigation is also very easy.

However, Suzhou is not much richer than Xuzhou. Suzhou is the gateway to the north of Fengyang, Zhongdu. It is the location of the Ming Dynasty imperial tombs and a place where the criminals of the royal family are forbidden. It is the most important place in the world. Fengyang Prefecture stationed a large army, and there are a large number of teams to maintain the imperial tombs. There are also quite a lot of people guarding the royal family. Most of the consumption of this group of people must be provided by Fengyang locally. This is why the Fengyang Prefecture area is so huge.

With so many people, taxes, taxes, labor and labor are more serious than other prefectures and counties. Although the number of officials is normal, the actual additional fire consumption is much heavier than other places.

There are some strange reasons. In Fengyang, the founding emperors like Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, were mostly from Huaixi. This place can be regarded as a blessing land, but in fact, it is not the case. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Fengyang Prefecture has suffered many disasters, floods, droughts, locust plagues, and even several major plagues.

The heavy taxes, labor service and frequent natural disasters have caused the people to flee one after another. In addition, nearly a hundred major disasters and minor disasters decades ago have made the people even panic. There are many rumors in private, and more related to the Zhu family. These rumors about the royal family will naturally be strictly prohibited, and those who are caught will be searched and destroyed, which further deteriorated people's livelihood.

However, since the Hongzhi year, Fengyang Prefecture has been somewhat better. Although the famine is more frequent than other places, it has been considered as an improvement and people's livelihood has slowly recovered. However, after the 20th year of Wanli, it has started to struggle again.

The local vitality was severely damaged, and the people fled one after another. Even the Governor Fengyang, who was also the governor of the canal transportation, moved the official office to Taizhou.

What's more, there is such a disaster this year. Although there is fertile and flat land and river water irrigation, there is still no population. There are weeds on the fields. However, people who know how to farm can see that such land and conditions will definitely bring good harvests as long as they are cultivated carefully. But now, there are such good fields everywhere in Fengyang Prefecture, which are not worth anything at all.

A large amount of land has been concentrated in the hands of more than a dozen large households in Suzhou. However, after Ruhui offered a price of 20% higher than the market price, she still bought a large amount of land. After spending a large amount of cash, no one could not be moved. Even people from neighboring prefectures came to ask whether Ruhui still needed land or not.
