Chapter 217: Refugee Camp
Jiang, a villager in Napo Village, told Nong Hongzhi in detail about the whole thing. In the end, the more he talked, the more excited he became, and he seemed to be fighting again and again!
After hearing this, Nong Hongzhi couldn't help but hold his forehead with his palm and rub it hard.
The word "Napo" means fertile land in the local dialect. However, due to the unsmoking and storm in recent years, the land and water sources in Yishan County have been dry and cracked and exhausted for a long time. The reason why these two groups of people fought was precisely because of the water source problem!
Due to the unsmoking and stormy years, the water resources in Napo Village have become relatively scarce. While the villagers are already extremely cheap to use, there is another group of people trying to come and take up a part. Naturally, the villagers of Napo Village are unwilling to do so!
The villagers of Napo Village and the refugees who fled from outside did not reach a unified opinion on the issue of water sources, so the tragedy of yesterday's armed battle was caused!
Nong Hongzhi turned to look at a middle-aged man beside him and asked, "Mr. Zhang, you have been an official here for decades and are the most familiar with the local area! What do you think should be arranged at this moment?"
Standing beside Nong Hongzhi, the county magistrate of Yishan County named Zhang Shuan said, "The people of Yishan are fierce and the village is united and out of the way. Now they suffer losses in the fight. Someone will inevitably refuse to give up afterwards! The following officials' opinions, the most urgent task now is to resettle other refugees first, appease the villagers in the village, and prevent another conflict between them!"
After hearing this, Nong Hongzhi nodded in agreement and ordered the official officer beside him: "You should take all of these people in this temple back to the county government to wait for the detention. As for the corpses outside the temple, after the doctor has finished the examination, he will return them to the family members for a lifetime and burial!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the Land Temple, and then asked the people beside him, "Where are those refugees now?"
The official officer on the side immediately replied: "Report to the master, because most of the refugees are fellow villagers from the same place, they all spontaneously gathered together. Now there are three refugees gathering places near Napo Village, and accordingly, they are only one mile away."
Nong Hongzhi asked: "How many people can use now?"
The official guessed it in his heart and replied, "There should be ten people."
Nong Hongzhi said: "Okay! Now you will immediately send someone to the camp composed of refugees to watch. I will transfer the follow-up staff from the county government. Your current task is to prevent these refugees from clashing with local villagers again. Do you understand?"
The official responded immediately: "Yes!"
Nong Hongzhi waved his hand and said, "Go!"
The official immediately turned around and left, calling people to the refugee camps outside Napo Village.
County Magistrate Zhang Shuan stood beside him and asked, "Mr. Agricultural University, are we returning to the county government on the same road now?"
"No!"
Nong Hongzhi immediately waved his hand and said, "We also went to the camps of those refugees to see them one by one!"
After saying that, Nong Hongzhi opened the umbrella in his hand and said to the official officer beside him: "Lead the way!"
The distance of one mile was not far. Soon, a group of officials from Yishan County came to a refugee camp nearest to Napo Village.
The official who was standing next to Nong Hongzhi whispered: "Be careful, there is something mess here..."
Nong Hongzhi did not speak, but patted the lancet on his waist and said, "I know what I know!"
The campground was dirty and messy, with no houses and no tents. A bonfire, a straw mat, and a quilt. Just a few things combined together form a place to settle down.
When the refugees in the camp saw the arrival of the Yishan County government, some were surprised, some were afraid, and some were disdainful, but more, they were expressionless, ignored them and ignored them.
Nong Hongzhi's eyes were looking at the refugees.
Many of them were covered in mud and had a haggard face. It was obvious that they had not been able to get a stable rest for a long time.
Nong Hongzhi was scanning, and suddenly seemed to be attracted by something. He immediately turned his eyes, looked at the people in the distance, and said, "Those people over there are quite clean."
The official who stood beside him said, "The people over there were either the rich people who were originally in Daliang or the people in the martial arts world. These refugees brought the water from Napo Village, and in addition to drinking, some of them were used to wash. This would have been fine if it was placed in the past, but now it is dry and dry, and even the fertile land of Napo Village is very scarce. The water source is wasted so that the villagers of Napo Village naturally would not want to!"
"Although these people from Daliang came to us with these refugees, their tempers did not decrease at all! According to the interrogation of subordinates, the villagers of Napo Village came forward to have an argument with them because they saw that they were wasting water in such a way, and were then injured by two people from the Jianghu... It was precisely because of this that the two waves of people later fought..."
The group of gentry and rich men saw that the officials from Yishan County came towards them. Immediately, many people became nervous and quietly collected the gold, silver, treasures and other things they carried.
Although they are local gentry and rich people, in a new place, it is better to keep a low profile before understanding the preferences and tempers of the officials here!
After all, they are helpless and have no power and power at this moment. If they show up rashly, if the officials in Yishan County are a Taotie who eats people and does not spit out their bones, then wouldn’t they want both people and wealth to be empty and have no place to die?
Compared with the original gentry of Daliang, the rich, and the people in the world who were mixed with refugees, they seemed relatively calm.
The people of the Jianghu always hold their own powerful martial arts and despise the rules, not to mention... They fled from Bashu, the sect was broken, and their relatives and friends were scattered. The various things they experienced along the way made the people of the Jianghu who already liked to violate the ban with martial arts become much more vicious.
At this moment, many of them were free of worries and had powerful force, so their hearts naturally became fierce and fearless!
Nong Hongzhi walked to the front of the group of people and saw the expressions on the faces of everyone present.
The official standing beside him reached out to hold the hilt of the knife around his waist and whispered: "Sir!"
