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

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

Due to the frequent rebellion of refugees and the prevention of reckless actions by martial artists, each level of division has standing soldiers.

Naturally, Juhe County also has them.

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

If you encounter a war, you must recruit civilians or train militia.

Now there are less than two hundred soldiers, all of which are under the command of Monk Hui Shi.

Seeing him coming, many soldiers on the city gate immediately stood up straight and saluted.

"Yes." Hui Shi nodded, stepped forward to the side of the female wall, looked outside the city, and frowned immediately, "There are so many victims."

Juhe County is adjacent to the Honghe River, and the overall terrain is quite flat. There is a flat river in front of the gate of the big city. There are many houses, and there are farmlands farther away, which looks like a small town.

These are actually because the Huang family oppressed too much before, many people had no place to stand in the city, so they could only move outside the city to build houses, and then reclaim some Susukida to make ends meet.

However, after Cui Heng ordered that all the land and property of the Huang family be distributed to the people, the people in the small town outside the city all moved back to the city.

A few days ago, no one lived in these houses.

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

"Chen Wei, what do you think we should do?" A soldier guarding the city came over and asked Monk Huishi.

Monk Huishi's secular 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 the monk Huishi does not have this position, he is actually leading the army. It is normal for the soldiers under his command to respectfully call him Chen Wei.

And those yamen servants who followed him would still call him the squad leader.

"Ask ten people to prepare." Hui Shi said in a deep voice, "When the county lord's notice 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.

Keep swallowing.

Although the cooking here is only some wild vegetables grabbed from the farmland, it still makes his mouth water.

He hasn't eaten for two days and is very hungry now.

A fifteen-year-old boy is in his prime, so he can't stand hunger at all.

"Third Uncle, can I eat it?" Zhao Goudan asked weakly, and then began to pant heavily. Just saying these few 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 non-stop, "The wild vegetable soup must be boiled thoroughly, otherwise the stomach will be ruined, and the life will be lost."

It took a while.

"Okay, it should be ready!" The third uncle's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly scooped a bowl of soup from the pot with a broken bowl, blew a few breaths, and handed it to Zhao Goudan, "Drink it , drink."

"Okay, third uncle, you, drink it too! Woohoo, it's so hot!" Zhao Goudan picked up the bowl and drank it. In one breath, he drank again and again.

Really hungry!

It was obviously just a bowl of soup made of rotten wild vegetables, but it made him feel like he was eating delicacies from mountains and seas.

"Third Uncle, here you are, you can drink." Zhao Goudan gave the broken bowl to Third Uncle.

The two of them just grabbed a broken bowl, and they had to take turns to drink soup.

"Haha, you have a conscience." The third uncle laughed heartily, and scooped up another bowl of soup for himself, and when he ate the hot soup, a satisfied smile finally appeared on his pale face.

"Third uncle, do you think the 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 up another bowl of soup and handed it to Zhao Goudan, sighing, "Our Dachang County was attacked by that Yangou, and Juhe County will be next.

"Furthermore, Juhe County is adjacent to the Honghe River, so it is definitely a place that Yangou must take. For this county magistrate, every grain is the confidence to resist Yangou, and it is impossible to distribute it to us rioters. "

The battle of defending the city is to some extent fighting for food reserves.

"Yangou must die!" Zhao Goudan gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "If one day I can become stronger, I must kill that Yangou with my own hands, for my father, my mother, and my brothers, sisters, and uncles. Revenge!"

Due to the stubborn resistance of King Yan's army in Dachang County, a massacre was carried out after breaking the city.

Not only the county government team and the defenders were killed, but also looting, murder and arson, abuse of women, and all kinds of evil, Dachang County has almost become a purgatory on earth.

Zhao Goudan's father was beheaded by King Yan's army in front of him, and his mother hit the wall and died unbearably humiliated.

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

In the end, only he and his third uncle were left in Zhao Goudan's family, and they escaped from the city desperately.

"Swallow dog will kill himself if he does many unrighteous deeds!"

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

The third uncle and Zhao Goudan looked at each other, and they couldn't help feeling flustered. Could it be that the Juhe county magistrate sent troops to drive away these disorderly people like himself?

The two hesitated for a while and went out.

No matter what you are about to face, it is 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 officer in fine iron armor came here with ten soldiers.

This military officer has a burly figure and lightning-like eyes. Just looking at him will make you feel scared.

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

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

Although the houses here are dilapidated, they can be regarded as a shelter, and there are farmlands where you can get some food, so you can barely survive.

If I leave here, I am afraid that 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 shout.

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

"The county is benevolent, not only allows you to continue living here, but also promises to open a warehouse to release food for you!

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

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

Boom!

The crowd of victims suddenly boiled, and everyone's faces showed expressions of disbelief.

Then it became ecstatic.

Three or four thousand people knelt down one by one and bowed in the direction of the county.

"The county lord is a good man!"

"Never forget the kindness of the county lord's life!"

"Long live the county lord, long live!"

Everyone cheered, and the cheers were mixed with sobs, which were tears of joy.

Zhao Goudan also cheered in the crowd.

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

This is the grace of life, and he vowed to repay it with all his efforts!

……

In a house in the city.

As soon as Fang Min took Zhou Caiwei to settle down, he heard the news that Zaizan Xianzun was going to open a warehouse to release food for the disaster victims outside the city.

This made her horrified, even a little incomprehensible.

So, she found Zhao Guang and asked: "Master Zhao, are the rumors outside true? The county lord, is he going to open a warehouse to release food for the victims?"

"Exactly." Zhao Guang nodded and smiled, "The county lord is a kind-hearted person, so naturally he can't bear the suffering of the common people."

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

"But King Yan's army is coming!" Fang Min said anxiously, "How can we defend the city if we release food now? If we persist for too short a time, we may not even have room for negotiation. I will suffer from military disasters..."

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

This requires Juhe County to stick to it for a while.

"Sister~IndoMTL.com~ I heard that there are three to four thousand victims outside." Zhou Caiwei suddenly said, "If the county lord does not release food, they will all starve to death."

"Although that's the case, but..." Fang Min hesitated to speak, she didn't know what to do in this situation.

"This county lord is very smart." Zhou Caiwei said with a slight smile, "I think since he decided to do this, he must have prepared a backup, and he will never let the city run out of food."

"Junior Sister, are you 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 actions of the county lord. Such a powerful person would definitely consider it. Questions in various aspects."

"..." Fang Min fell silent after hearing the words, and immediately apologized to Zhao Guang, "Master Zhao, I was a little impatient just now, and I was a little disrespectful to the county magistrate, please forgive me."

"Actually, the county lord has already anticipated that the girl will feel anxious." Zhao Guang smiled and said, "The county lord has already told me that if the girl has any doubts, you can ask him in person tomorrow."

Fang Min was stunned when he heard the words, and couldn't help exclaiming: "The county lord is as good as a god."

……

Inside the Yamen of Juhe County.

Lu Zhengming looked bitterly at the account book of the granary in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "Master Xian, there are not even a few catties of grain in the official granary, which is not enough to relieve three or four thousand people."

The grain seized from the Huang family was basically distributed to the common people, and the Guan granary did not increase much, and it was still at the bottom of the original level.

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