Chapter 212 Refugees

Listening to the two girls chattering endlessly about the various deeds of the Ouyang family in Surabaya, Gu Zhian felt that her eyelids were very heavy. She had not slept well for several days, and she could only sleep for an hour or two every day. Now that the serious problem has been eliminated, the villagers

Their poison was cured, and soon the money in the government warehouse would be delivered to the hands of these poor people. The big stone in her heart was gone. As soon as she relaxed, she felt sleepy and didn't listen carefully at all.

The girl was talking about something and fell asleep.

Hongying and Langqiao knew how hard Gu Zhian had been these days, and felt very sorry for her. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, they both looked at each other and smiled, not daring to make any more noise. They silently covered her with a quilt and moved her left and right.

He snuggled close to her side to give her some warmth to protect her from the wind in this cold night.

The three masters and servants moved into the Yunzhou government office the next day, so that they could make statistics and distribute the pension money. After all, there were many people involved, and it would be more convenient to work in the government office.

Unexpectedly, just after all this work was finished, and before the master and servant could decide their next move, they received news of the war in the east. On the afternoon of the day when the news was received, many border fugitives gathered outside Yunzhou City.

The victims came.

When the city guards saw that there were so many people, they closed the city gates and did not dare to let the large number of refugees into the city. After all, there had been incidents of enemy troops mixing among the refugees in the past. As soon as they entered the city, they would set fire to and kill them everywhere.

It is not uncommon for upper-class people to rob money and food in the city, especially when there are such a large number of refugees, it makes one's scalp numb just to see them.

At this time, the person in charge of the state government's Yamen was a clerk named Ye. After hearing the reports from his subordinates, he did not dare to make arbitrary decisions and immediately approached Gu Zhian.

He was not familiar with this Miss Gu, but the head of the Ouyang family had greeted him before leaving Yunzhou. If there was anything difficult to decide, he could discuss it with this lady, and she might be able to give him some advice.

"Miss Gu, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Gu Zhian sat in a chair and thought deeply. She had never encountered such a thing before. After all, the world she lived in was considered a peaceful era. There were no such large-scale wars, and there were no such people as refugees.

Even if there were refugees, it would be easy to resettle them given the conditions at that time.

But in the current environment, it is not easy to resettle so many refugees. Moreover, the war is not over yet. Dongli’s army may invade Yunzhou at any time, and then it will be a different situation.

.

Gu Zhian asked Master Ye: "How many military guards are there in the city?"

Master Ye said: "There are only more than 2,000 people in total. There was originally a garrison outside Yunzhou City. They were transferred away by Song Shannian a while ago on the pretext of assisting in defense. They were transferred to Pingzhou. I think it was agreed with Nanli

Yes, in this situation, the garrison has already reached the boundary of Pingzhou. Even if we want those garrison to come back, Pingzhou will probably not agree."

The huge Yunzhou City has only two thousand city guards and no garrison. Isn't this a joke? There are thousands of refugees outside the city. If there is a conflict or something, the consequences are unimaginable. There is no need to wait for Dong

When Li Guo's army came, Yunzhou itself was in chaos.

Seeing Gu Zhian frowning and saying nothing, Lang Qiao on the side also became anxious and blurted out: "It would be great if our general was here."

Gu Zhian's eyes dimmed and he said nothing.

Hongying glared at Langqiao, blaming her for talking nonsense.

Since the young lady left Kyoto, she has never mentioned the general in front of them. Even when they talked about the general, they just remained silent. It was obvious that the young lady seemed to have a different attitude toward the general.

Gu Zhian was silent for a while and then suddenly said, "If your general were here, what would he do?"

The two girls were silent. They wanted to say something, but what could they say? They had never gone to war with the general, so they didn't know what the general would do.

Gu Zhian had an idea at this time.
