Realizing This Is A Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years Chapter 41: One grain of rice can live for thousands of people

During the Great 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 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 a civilian husband or train a militia.

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 city gates saw his arrival, they immediately stood up and saluted.

"Yes." Huishi nodded, stepped forward to the parapet, looked out of the city, and frowned, "There are so many disaster 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 are actually all because the Huang family had been oppressed too much before, 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 survive.

However, after Cui Heng ordered the distribution of the Huang family's fields and property to the people, the people in the towns outside the city all moved back to the city.

A few days ago, the houses were empty.

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

"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 title 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.

"Call 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 the cooking here is only some wild vegetables caught from the farmland, it also made his mouth water.

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

A fifteen-year-old boy, when he is growing up, can't stand hunger at all.

"Third uncle, can you eat it?" 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.

I'm so hungry!

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

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

It took 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 it. , drink it."

"Okay, Third Uncle, you, you should drink it too! Woohoo, it's so hot!" Zhao Goudan picked up the bowl and drank it, screaming when it was hot, but he only blew a little more symbolically. With a sigh of relief, he drank again and again.

I'm really hungry!

Obviously it's just a bowl of soup boiled with rotten wild vegetables, but it makes him feel like he's eating delicious food from 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 they had to take turns drinking soup.

"Haha, I think you have a conscience." The third uncle laughed, scooped himself a bowl of soup, and the hot soup entered, his gray face finally showed a satisfied smile.

"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 chaotic people. "

The battle of defending the city, to a certain extent, 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, for my father, my mother, my brothers and sisters, uncles and uncles. Revenge!"

Since King Yan's army met stubborn resistance in Dachang County, a massacre was carried out after the city was broken.

Not only were the county government officials and the garrison soldiers killed, but they were also looted, murdered and set on fire, insulted 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 humiliated and killed.

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 too much 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 time, 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 is shouting outside.

The third uncle and Zhao Goudan looked at each other, and they 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 best 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 and ten soldiers came here.

This military attache is burly and his eyes are like electricity. Just staring at him will feel terrified.

Many of the victims were in a 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. There is also farmland where you can get some food, so you can barely survive.

If I leave here, I am afraid I 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 officer shouting.

His voice is not very loud, but it is clearly audible.

"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 attacked, he would let you take refuge in the city, and he would not let you suffer from military disasters again.

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

Boom!

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

Immediately, it becomes ecstatic.

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

"The county honorable master is a kind man!"

"Never forget the grace of the county magistrate to survive!"

"Long live the county magistrate, long live!"

Everyone cheered, and the cheers were mixed with this sob, 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 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 was going to open a warehouse and release food to relieve the victims outside the city.

This shocked her, even a little bit 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, "The county magistrate 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 any room for negotiation. To suffer the disaster of war..."

Even if it is a top expert to attack the rear of King Yan, it will take time.

This requires Juhe County to stick to it for a while~IndoMTL.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 smiled lightly, "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 grin, "When we asked about the news earlier, you were shocked when you heard the various actions of Lord Xianzun. Such a powerful person will definitely consider it. All aspects of the problem."

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

"Actually, the maid will feel anxious about this, and the magistrate has already anticipated it." Zhao Guang smiled, "The magistrate has already told me that if the girl has any doubts, she can ask him in person tomorrow." /

Fang Min was stunned when she heard the words, and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Your Excellency the county magistrate is as expected."

…

Inside the Yamen of Juhe County.

Lu Zhengming looked bitterly at the granary account book in his hand, and smiled bitterly: "Xianzun, there is no catty 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 can be filled with rice, and the people can live." /
