Realizing This Is A Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years

Chapter 41: 1 grain of rice can live for thousands of people

In the Jin Dynasty, three-level divisions of prefectures, counties and counties were implemented.

Because there are often refugees in chaos, and in order to prevent martial arts people from acting recklessly, there are standing soldiers at each level of division.

Juhe County naturally also has it.

It's just that most of the land and resources in the county were controlled by the Huang family, so there were not many standing soldiers, only less than 200 people.

If you encounter war, you must recruit civilian husbands or train militiamen.

Now, the soldiers of less than 200 people have all been handed over to the commander of the monk Hui Shi.

When many soldiers on the towers of the city gate saw him coming, they immediately stood up and saluted.

"Yeah." Hui Shi nodded, stepped forward to the parapet, looked outside the city, and immediately frowned, "There are so many victims."

Juhe County is adjacent to the Honghe River. The overall terrain is quite flat. In front of the Dacheng Gate is a flat river. There are many houses, and there are farmlands farther away. It looks like a small town.

These were actually because the Huang family had been oppressed too much earlier, and many people had no place to stand in the city, so they had to move outside the city to build houses, and then reclaimed some thin fields to make a living.

However, after Cui Heng ordered all the property of the Huang family to be distributed to the people, the people in the towns outside the city all moved back to the city.

A few days ago, these houses were empty.

Now it happens to be occupied by the victims who have fled here. Looking at the number of people who have fled here, there are really three or four thousand.

"Chen Wei, what do you think we should do?" A soldier guarding the city approached and asked Monk Hui Shi.

Monk Huishi's lay family name is Chen, and his identity in Juhe County is called Chen Hui.

As for this "wei", it is a respectful name for his identity.

The leader of the army in the county can be called the county captain. Although Monk Huishi does not have this position, he is actually leading the army.

And those yamen who follow him still call him the head of the class.

"Tell ten people to prepare." Huishi said solemnly, "When the county magistrate's notification arrives, follow me out of the city."

"Yes!" The soldier nodded immediately.

……

Zhao Goudan huddled in a dilapidated house outside Juhe County, staring straight at the steaming cauldron in front of him.

Swallowing incessantly.

Although only some wild vegetables caught from the farmland were cooked here, it also made his mouth water.

He hasn't eaten for two days, and he's very hungry now.

The fifteen-year-old boy, when he was growing up, couldn't stand hunger at all.

"Third uncle, can you eat?" Zhao Goudan asked feebly, and then he began to pant heavily. Just saying these words made him feel like he had exhausted all his strength.

So hungry!

"Wait a while, just wait a little longer." The third uncle was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was tall but looked very weak.

At this time, he was also staring at the wild vegetable soup in the pot, swallowing his saliva, "The wild vegetable soup must be boiled, otherwise, if you eat it, you will lose your stomach and you will die."

After a while.

"Okay, it should be fine!" Third Uncle's eyes lit up, he hurriedly took a broken bowl and scooped a bowl of soup from the pot, took a few breaths, and handed it to Zhao Goudan, "Drink, drink ."

"Okay, third uncle, you, you, drink up too! Woohoo, it's so hot!" Zhao Goudan picked up the bowl and drank it, screaming when he was hot, but he just took a few more breaths symbolically, and then And ton ton ton ton drink up.

I'm really hungry!

Obviously it was just a bowl of soup cooked with rotten wild vegetables, but it gave him the feeling that he was eating the delicacies of mountains and seas.

"Third uncle, here it is, you can drink it." Zhao Goudan gave the broken bowl to the third uncle.

The two of them grabbed a broken bowl and had to take turns drinking soup.

"Haha, I think you have a conscience." The third uncle laughed happily, scooped himself a bowl of soup, and when the hot soup came into his mouth, a satisfied smile finally appeared on his gray face.

"Third uncle, do you think the county magistrate here will take us in?" Zhao Goudan recovered a little bit of energy and began to look forward to the future, "Will he give us a bite to eat?"

"I'm afraid not." The third uncle shook his head, scooped another bowl of soup and handed it to Zhao Goudan, and sighed, "Our Dachang County was breached by the Yangou, and Juhe County is next.

"And Juhe County is adjacent to the Honghe River, which is definitely a must-see for Yangou. For this county magistrate, every grain of food is the confidence to resist Yangou, and it is impossible to distribute it to us troubled people."

In the battle of defending the city, to a certain extent, the battle is about food reserves.

"Yan dog will die!" Zhao Goudan gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "If I can become stronger one day, I must kill that Yan dog with my own hands to avenge my father, my mother, my brothers and sisters, my uncles and uncles!"

Because King Yan's army encountered stubborn resistance in Dachang County, a massacre was carried out after the city was destroyed.

Not only were the county government officials and the guards killed, but they were looted, murdered and set on fire, abused women, and committed all kinds of crimes. Dachang County was almost turned into a purgatory on earth.

Zhao Goudan's father was beheaded by King Yan's army in front of him, and his mother was unbearably humiliated and crashed into a wall.

If the third uncle hadn't arrived in time, even he himself would have been killed.

In the end, Zhao Goudan's family was the only one left with him and his third uncle, and they tried their best to escape from the city.

"Yan dog will kill himself if he does a lot of injustice!"

The third uncle also yelled, but after scolding, he sighed again and smiled bitterly, "I don't know how many days we can live, these wild vegetables won't last long."

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside...

"The military master of Juhe County is here, the military master is here, everyone, come out, come out!"

Someone shouted outside.

The third uncle and Zhao Goudan looked at each other, and couldn't help but panic. Could it be that the magistrate of Juhe sent troops to chase away these chaotic people?

The two of them hesitated and went out.

No matter what you're going to face, it's the best choice to be with other people at this time.

Zhao Goudan followed the third uncle, mixed in the crowd, and looked forward with his feet on his feet.

I saw a military attache in fine iron armor came here with ten soldiers.

This military attache is burly and his eyes are like electricity. Just looking at him will make you feel scared.

Many victims of the disaster became commotion, and they were all very vigilant.

They were all afraid that the military attache was here to drive them away.

Although the house here is dilapidated, it can be regarded as a place to live, and there is farmland where you can get some food, so you can barely survive.

If you leave here, I am afraid you will die in a few days.

No one wants to die.

"Everyone, don't worry, don't be afraid!"

At this time, Zhao Goudan heard the leading military attache shouting.

His voice was not very loud, but it was clearly heard.

"The county respects benevolence and kindness, not only allows you to continue to live here, but also promises to open the warehouse to release food to help you!

"The county magistrate also promised that if King Yan's army came, he would let you take refuge in the city, and he would not let you suffer from military disasters again.

"Remember, this is all a favor from the county magistrate!"

Boom!

The group of victims immediately boiled, and everyone's faces showed disbelief.

Immediately it became ecstatic.

Three or four thousand people fell to their knees one by one, bowing in the direction of the county seat.

"The county magistrate is a good man!"

"Never forget the grace of the county magistrate for his life!"

"Long live the county magistrate, long live!"

Everyone cheered, and the cheers were mixed with sobbing, which was a cry of joy.

Zhao Goudan also cheered in the crowd.

He also fell into ecstasy, and deeply imprinted the magistrate of Juhe County in his heart.

This is the gift of life, and he vowed to spend his whole life trying to repay it!

……

In a house in the city.

Fang Min had just settled down with Zhou Caiwei when she heard the news that Chuanxian Zun would open a warehouse and release food to relieve the victims outside the city.

This made her terrified, and even a little incomprehensible.

So, she found Zhao Guang and asked, "Director Zhao, are the rumors outside true? Lord Xianzun, he wants to open a warehouse to release grain to help the victims?"

"Exactly." Zhao Guang nodded and smiled, "Xianzun is a kind-hearted person, and naturally he cannot bear the suffering of the people."

He also received a summons from Cui Heng and learned about the decision to release food.

"But King Yan's army is coming!" Fang Min said anxiously, "How can we defend the city if we put food in now? If we persist for too short a time, we may not even have room for negotiation, and the entire city will be attacked by soldiers. calamity..."

Even if it is a top expert to attack Queen Yan's rear, it will take time.

This requires Juhe County to stick to it for a while~www.novelmt.com~Senior sister, I heard that there are three or four thousand victims outside. "Zhou Caiwei suddenly said, "If Lord Xianzun doesn't put food in, they will all starve to death." "

"That said, but..." Fang Min hesitated, she didn't know what to do in this situation.

"This county magistrate is very smart." Zhou Caiwei said with a light smile, "I think since he decided to do this, he must be ready to fight, and he will never let him run out of food while defending the city."

"Junior sister, you are so confident?" Fang Min asked in surprise.

"Senior sister, have you forgotten?" Zhou Caiwei said with a smile, "When we inquired about the news earlier, you were shocked when you heard the various measures of Lord Xianzun. Such a powerful person will definitely consider all aspects. problem."

"..." Fang Min was silent when she heard the words, and immediately apologized to Zhao Guang, "Master Zhao, I was a little impatient just now, and I was disrespectful to the county magistrate. Please forgive me."

"Actually, the maiden will feel anxious, and the county magistrate has already expected it." Zhao Guang smiled, "The county magistrate has already told me that if the girl has any doubts, she can ask him in person tomorrow."

Fang Min was stunned for a while when she heard the words, and she couldn't help but exclaimed, "Your Excellency the county magistrate is like a god."

……

Inside the Yamen of Juhe County.

Lu Zhengming looked bitterly at the granary account book in his hand, and smiled bitterly: "Xianzun, there is not a few catties of grain in the official granary, and it is not enough to relieve three or four thousand people."

The grains seized from the Huang family were basically distributed to the common people, and there was no increase in the management of the granary, and it was still at the bottom level.

"Don't be anxious, take me to the granary to have a look." Cui Heng stood up from his seat and smiled, "As long as there is one grain of rice, the granary will be filled with rice, and the people will be able to live."
