In mid-June, Shen Tuxu finally escorted nearly 10,000 "prisoners" to Yanzhou.
Although he recovered a life, he was still convicted and exiled. The treatment of these people along the way was really not good. All were ragged and yellow-faced.
During these days of escort, Shen Tuxu had been on guard and made trouble, so he also rushed on the road. Now that he arrived in Yanzhou, he finally let out a sigh of relief when he saw Xiao Zhige leading the troops out to hand over.
The two parties handed over to count the number of people, and then handed over the official documents. Shen Tuxu's task has been completed, and there are still things in Suzhou waiting for him to go back to deal with.
Xiao Zhige will bring people to settle these people.
Yanzhou City has not yet begun to expand, and the number of these people is large, and they have not figured out the details, and it is not appropriate to put them into the city immediately. Fortunately, a temporary shelter had been built outside the city before, so people were called to lead the people there.
Although these people saved their lives, they were exiled to Yanzhou, and they were really uneasy about leaving their hometowns. But in front of him was the King of the Northern War, Killing God, and no one dared to resist. They all accepted their fate and were numbly driven by the soldiers to another direction outside the city.
Originally, I thought I would sleep in the wilderness to fend for myself, or work as a coolie day and night. But when I got there, I found that there was a stretch of the north of the city, with rows of thatched shacks built neatly.
Outside the thatched shed, there are dozens of large pots standing in the open space, simmering hot rice porridge.
The numb expressions of the people suddenly became eager, eagerly looking at the thatched hut and hot porridge not far away, and whispering whether these were prepared for them.
So many people, even if it's just a whispered discussion, it's loud enough. Xiao Zhige raised his hand. Immediately, a soldier banged a gong and called the old man from Lizheng Township and others in the crowd to come out.
Most of the people in the Bai Ding army were from the surrounding areas of Kangyong County, Suzhou, except for a few who came from other places. They knew each other or were relatives. In addition to ordinary people, there are also some old people from Lizheng Township mixed in. With such a large population, it is impossible for Xiao Zhige to send someone to take care of it in person. It is the best choice for them to take care of their own people.
After the crowd rioted for a while, people began to stand up one after another, all of them older people. He looked at Xiao Zhige and the others tremblingly, as if they were prisoners waiting to be executed.
At this time, the role of An Changqing and others came into play. He gathered these people together, and those who could be village elders were all literate and well-known among the local people. An Changqing and several elders talked to them about the arrangement in a soft voice, and then asked them to convey these rules and regulations.
When An Changqing finished speaking, these people were all stunned. They just thought that there must be no hope of leaving their hometown. These days, they are just numb and waiting to die. Unexpectedly, when they came to Yanzhou, not only were they not treated as prisoners, but they also planned a way out for them.
These old villagers in Lizheng were so moved that they didn't know what to do, so they just kept bowing: "Thank you for your kindness, Wang Ye and Wang Fei, I will never forget it!"
An Changqing reassured them and asked them to convey the details. These villagers in Lizheng saw the way to survive, and their expressions were also uplifted. They each summoned the people in the original village and preached to them in detail.
When these people figured out one by one, the original numb expression was gradually replaced by joy. Although it is difficult to leave their homeland, they have long since lost their way of life in Suzhou, otherwise they would not have followed the rebellion. Now that they have come to Yanzhou, they have hope, and they have finally rekindled hope.
An Changqing and Xiao Zhige stood side by side, watching these people line up in an orderly manner to get the porridge, with smiles on their faces, and couldn't help being moved. These days, in order to formulate the articles of association, he often goes to and from the official office to follow the bosses to discuss matters, and the sense of accomplishment when his suggestions are affirmed and adopted is not comparable to the touch at this moment.
Seeing with my own eyes that the policies I had participated in formulating were implemented one by one, benefiting these people, and making their numb eyes full of hope again, is a sense of accomplishment that no amount of praise can give.
An Changqing's heart was agitated. Originally, Xiao Zhige was a little hesitant to let him participate more in the affairs of the city, but now, seeing the happy smiling faces of these people, the last hesitation in his heart also dissipated.
Xiao Zhige saw that although he was silent, his eyes were shining brightly, he looked at the common people who had already started to allocate accommodation, and patted An Changqing on the shoulder: "Hey, you did a good job this time, and in the future these people will Please, you and your lords."
An Changqing regained his senses, turned his head to look at him for a breath, and raised his lips a moment later, and responded firmly: "I will try my best."
…
The people settled down temporarily. After they were repaired for two or three days, they were organized to start building the outer city of Yanzhou and strengthening the city wall.
The idea of strengthening the city wall has long existed, but Yanzhou is really short of people, so it has been shelved. Now it has received so many people, including many young men. It just happened that the work-for-relief was given, the government gave money and food, and the people contributed.
Because the outer city will be the place for these people to live in the future, the people themselves are very active in addition to going for wages and food. The sooner the outer city is built, the sooner they can have a secure place to stay. Everyone works very diligently, and there are those who steal and play tricks, without the supervisor opening their mouths, they will be urged by their peers.
The construction of the outer city was gradually on the right track, and at the same time, news came from Changzaichang in Liangzhou that the first batch of rough jadeite had been mined, and it was time to send someone to send it to the south.
The first batch of rough jadeite is going to the south to open up sales, and the candidates to be sent have become a big problem. It is necessary to be tight and loyal, but also to be flexible, so as to open the way to the south. Xiao Zhige has a lot of talented people, but most of them are those who lead troops to fight, but very few can do business. Xie Ling, the only one who can use it, has an official position on his body. It is too eye-catching to travel from south to north.
Xiao Zhige has also been used to discussing Yanzhou affairs with An Changqing in recent days, so he naturally told him about the current predicament. An Changqing pondered for a while, then hesitated: "Actually, there is a suitable candidate."
"Who?" Xiao Zhige raised his brows, but he didn't expect that there would be a choice.
"Zhou Helan." An Changqing said.
Zhou Helan came to Yanzhou with him, but An Changqing had no business in Yanzhou, and Zhou Helan had nothing to do, so he kept running the affairs of the general's mansion silently. An Changqing always felt that Zhou Helan was overkill for staying by his side, and after coming to Yanzhou, he asked him if he wanted to become an official in the dynasty or in the army. After all, in the last life, Zhou Helan was once honored as a national teacher by King Yuze. Instead of spending time as a housekeeper in the general's mansion, it is better to be a staff member for Xiao Zhige. With his ability and An Changqing's face, it is not difficult to get Xiao Zhige to be reused.
However, Zhou Helan refused.
In the past few months, Zhou Helan has grown a lot. He is obviously smaller than An Changqing, but he is tall and has few expressions, which makes him look bigger than An Changqing. The posture is still like a tall and straight bamboo, although still silent, but the eyebrows are very peaceful. It was completely different from the indifference that An Changqing had seen in the previous life.
He didn't want to go, and although An Changqing regretted it, he never thought of forcing him. The previous life is different from this one after all. He chose another path. Although Zhou Helan is not a heavy worker, he should have the right to choose.
Moreover, An Changqing always believed that with Zhou Helan's spiritual ability, he would not be buried forever.
No, the opportunity is here.
Xiao Zhige listened to An Changqing's words and thought about it seriously. Zhou Helan is young, but he works steadily. These days, the general's mansion has been arranged in an orderly manner. Once in Yejing, he also helped An Changqing manage the shop. More importantly, he was very loyal to An Changqing.
But after thinking for a moment, Xiao Zhige decided on a candidate: "That's him."
An Changqing called Zhou Helan, and the three of them had a secret conversation in the study, but this time Zhou Helan did not refuse. In addition to the leader, he also had to bring a team of helpers. Since he was not in a hurry to set off, Xiao Zhige asked Zhou Helan to find the staff himself.
After everything was arranged, it was already the beginning of July, Zhou Helan took the people he picked out, bid farewell to Xiao Zhige and An Changqing, and set off for Liangzhou with the token.
After sending Zhou Helan away, An Changqing took Xiao Zhige to the fields outside the city for a turn. The sweet potatoes that were planted before were growing very well. In July, the weather was hot and the sun was shining, the sweet potato vines were growing well, and the greenery was very gratifying. Looking beyond the sweet potato fields, you could also see the outer city that was built a small half, and the expression on An Changqing's face. The smile never faded.
It was noon when I returned from outside the city. I only ate two bowls of rice when I went out in the morning, but now back to the house, An Changqing's stomach growled again.
He asked An Fu to bring snacks to the pavilion, and An Changqing lay on the rattan chair and ate snacks while reading. Xiao Zhige had nothing to do in the afternoon, and also spent time with him. He just watched An Changqing finish eating the two plates of dim sum in one bite, and frowned slowly: "Eat less, be careful to accumulate food."
An Changqing didn't seem to realize that he ate too much, and muttered: "I didn't eat much, I still feel a little hungry."
Xiao Zhige faced him every day, and he naturally knew how much he ate in the past. He frowned, but he didn't loosen his eyebrows: "Didn't you notice that your appetite has increased a lot recently? Even sleep has increased."
An Changqing frowned and thought for a while, then hesitantly said: "It seems that I have eaten a little more than before. I am no longer irritable and unable to sleep."
But isn't that a good thing? An Changqing looked at Xiao Zhige in confusion, not knowing what he was worried about.
Xiao Zhige sighed secretly. After Hu Zifei came to check the pulse in May, he went back and checked the medical books, but he couldn't find any clues. But later they asked Xiao Yu Xiao to ask questions, but Yu Xiao was not too old and could not explain many things clearly. He only insisted that the princess had a baby in her womb, and he could feel it, because Daddy had a baby in his womb before .
But if he asked where his father was from and why he was pregnant with a baby... he couldn't tell.
The fact that the man is pregnant is too unbelievable. Hu Zifei took An Changqing's pulse several times later, all of which were Huamai. But now that more than a month has passed, An Changqing's stomach has not grown at all, and it is impossible to be sure.
Therefore, Xiao Zhige never told him about the red tattoo behind An Changqing's ear. Left and right still haven't figured out what it is, and talking about it will also bother An Changqing, so it's better to wait until it is clear and then tell him.
"One Sword Sovereign"
Xiao Zhige was thinking about it in his heart when he suddenly heard someone calling him loudly.
The author has something to say: Cowardly: I secretly emptied the shopping cart for the holiday today.
