Realizing This Is A Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years - Chapter 41

[Chapter 41 One grain of rice can live all the people]

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

Due to frequent disturbances by refugees, and to prevent martial artists 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 there is a war, you must recruit civilians or train militiamen.

Now these less than two hundred soldiers have all been handed over to the commander of the monk Hui Shi.

When many soldiers on the towers of the city gate saw his arrival, they immediately stood straight and saluted.

“Yeah.” Huishi nodded, stepped forward to the parapet, looked outside the city, and immediately 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, just like a small town.

This is actually because the Huang family was too oppressed before, and many people had no place to stand in the city, so they could only move outside the city to build houses, and then reclaimed some thin fields to survive.

However, after Cui Heng ordered that all the property of the Huang family be distributed to the common people, the common 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 the 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. It is normal for the soldiers under his command to call him Chen Wei.

And those yamen who followed him would 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 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.

A fifteen-year-old boy, just when he was growing up, couldn’t stand hunger at all.

“Third uncle, can you eat?” Zhao Goudan asked weakly, and then 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 constantly, “The wild vegetable soup must be boiled, otherwise it will ruin your stomach and your life will be lost.”

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.

Really hungry!

It was clearly just a bowl of soup cooked with rotten wild vegetables, but it made him feel like he was eating delicious food from mountains and seas.

“Third uncle, here it is, 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, you have a conscience.” The third uncle laughed and scooped himself a bowl of soup.

The hot soup entered, and his gray face finally showed a satisfied smile.

“Uncle Third, 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, sighing, “Our Dachang County was breached by that Yangou, and Juhe County is next.

“And Juhe County is adjacent to Honghe, 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.”

The battle of defending the city, to some 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 to avenge my father, my mother, my brothers and sisters, and my uncles and uncles!”

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

Not only the county government and the guards were killed, but also looted, murdered and set fire, insulted women, and committed all kinds of evil. 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 by hitting a wall.

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

In the end, Zhao Goudan was the only family 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 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 glanced 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 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.

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 looking at him will make him feel scared.

Many 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 broken, it can be regarded as a place to live, and there is farmland to get some food, so I can barely survive.

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

Nobody wants to die.

“Everyone, don’t worry, don’t be afraid!”

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

His voice wasn’t very loud, but it was clearly audible.

“The county respects benevolence, 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 given to you by 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, and bowed in the direction of the county seat.

“The county magistrate is a good man!”

“Never forget the grace of the county magistrate’s life!”

“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 to relieve the victims outside the city.

This made her terrified, even a little incomprehensible.

So, she found Zhao Guang and asked, “Zhao Director, 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…”

It will take time even for a top expert to attack Queen Yan’s rear.

This requires Juhe County to stick to it for a period of time.

“Senior sister, I heard that there are three or four thousand victims outside.” Zhou Caiwei suddenly said, “If Lord Xianzun does not put food, 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 have prepared his back-up, 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 all aspects. problem.”

“…” Fang Min was silent when he heard the words, and then apologized to Zhao Guang, “Director Zhao, I was a little impatient just now, and I was disrespectful to the county magistrate. Please forgive me.”

“Actually, the girl will feel anxious, and the magistrate has already expected 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 for a while when he heard the words, and couldn’t help but exclaimed, “Your Excellency the county magistrate is as expected.”

…

Juhe County Yamen.

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 worry, 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.”
