Chapter 81 Crisis, there is still a chance in danger

On January 17, the lunar calendar of the third year of Chongzhen, Lantian County suffered its first snowfall this year.

The snow is not thick, but it is cold!

At this time, the hungry people who were hiding their children and carrying their children down from the Weibei Plateau had already filled the streets of Yunjiazhuang.

The temples, ancestral halls, mills and grinders in the village were filled with escapees with foreign accents, regardless of gender.

A few days after the snow, people from Yunjiazhuang took their wings and iron shovels every morning to bury the unknown corpses who died on the road at night.

Every day from morning to night, the hungry people in ragged clothes shrank their shoulders and waited under the Yun family archway.

They broke down branches by the roadside in somewhere and held them under their arms to guard against evil dogs.

Whenever they meet the people from Yunjiazhuang, they will tell them about the misfortune that is generally similar and mourn and help them.

As some people were talking, big tears rolled down from their yellow and thin faces.

Some women in ragged clothes asked the people in the village over and over again, were there anyone willing to adopt children?

This scene was sad to see. Many people hid away as soon as they saw them. After hearing those words, the farmers returned home in discomfort and became more and more rude to their wives and children.

People from Lantian County have to go to the construction site before dawn. They work hard for an hour in the cold wind, and steaming rice soup will be delivered. Each person can also have a small piece of black noodles or steamed buns made of black noodles.

After eating these things, although I still feel hungry, my body becomes warmer.

At first, some people complained that the small county magistrate only allowed people to work and not eat enough. Since these refugees from the Weibei Plateau arrived in Yunjiazhuang, there have been no one who said such words.

Fifteen days ago, a child could exchange for fifty kilograms of millet in Yun’s family. Now, Yun’s family no longer accepts children. Five hundred children are the limit that Yun can accept.

Yun Zhao did not pick on this matter.

Yunfu also accepts children in the order of coming first and coming, and does not accept them if they exceed 500. This is determined by Yun's grain reserves, not by the human heart.

Yun's family no longer accepts children, so the people who sell children have no buyer's market. The goods die on the ground and these children cannot be taken home. They just hope that kind-hearted families can adopt these poor children.

Xu Yuanshou's eyes seemed to be on fire...

With his anxious and helpless eyes staring, Yun Zhao could not help but spread his hands... He could not use the food from Lantian County to rescue these people.

"Give me another five hundred kilograms of millet..."

Xu Yuanshou's words seemed pale and powerless.

Yun Zhao threw out two ingots of silver on the table.

Xu Yuanshou pulled the silver to the ground with one handful of handfuls, and the white silver jumped on the blue brick floor for a few times before reaching the bottom of the table.

"I don't want money, I want food!"

Yun Zhao raised his head and looked at his husband and said, "You can't be hungry anymore. You have to eat every day, and you're almost unable to hold on."

"I can't die!"

"I can't give you the food you want. Although I have food on hand and a lot of food, I can't give you a grain of food.

Nowadays, almost all the people in Lantian County are stationed next to the granary, guarding their food with covetous eyes.

Those refugees who came overwhelmed them frightened them.

Every day, the amount of grain transported to each construction site is calculated many times by hundreds of people who are highly respected who do not have wages or food.

Not to mention me, the county magistrate, even if the emperor comes here at this time, he will not be able to take away a grain of food from it."

"It's all human life..."

"That's right, grain is also the life of the people of Lantian County. Giving food to others is equivalent to giving the lives of the people of Lantian County to others.

I am the county magistrate of Lantian County, and I must first take charge of the lives of the people under my rule."

"You inhuman beast!"

Xu Yuanshou was furious, but he soon calmed down, held Yun Zhao's table and shook it twice, sighed slightly, "I'm talking nonsense."

Yun Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "If you scolded like this, I feel more relieved. Sir, I want to close Lantian County and not allow refugees to come in again."

"There are gangsters and bullies in Lantian who take the opportunity to bully those women!" Xu Yuanshou raised his voice a little more.

"Have they given food to others after bullying a woman?" Yun Zhao's face was calm and unremitting.

"You - shameless!"

After Xu Yuanshou cursed angrily, he left.

Seeing the husband leaving angrily, Yun Zhao lamented and lay on the table and stopped moving.

Once upon a time, his superiors could have said this. At that time, he really felt that those leaders were shameless. Now, being scolded by his own husband, Yun Zhao suddenly felt that the leaders he had scolded before were pitiful.

The more difficult the times are, the more we need to pay attention to discipline and rules!

Things that can be adapted to in normal times will not be available for negotiation at this moment. Things that can be adapted on weekdays will be absolutely forbidden at this moment.

The earliest reason for the emergence of discipline is life and death, and it is also related to food distribution, which is a very cruel thing.

Years ago, Yun Zhao thought he had some time. When the people on the Weibei Plateau came down, all his spare time disappeared.

All the bandits of the Yun family became the group trainer in Lantian County. The group trainer was Yun Meng. Yun Zhao refused Yun Meng to be the county magistrate, but instead gave this to Zhang Tianxiong in Xixiang, Liu in Dongxiang, and He in Nanxiang to the chief clerk and the clerk.

The other county jail errands were also divided into clean by middle-class households below the Yun family, Liu family, He family, and Zhang Tianxiong.

With equal benefits, the county magistrate Yun Zhao can be given to everyone in the shortest time.

After seeing the tragic situation of the refugees, the people of Lantian County no longer resisted Yun Zhao's orders that were eager for quick success and instant benefits. Even if these orders were unreasonable, they were a thousand times better than leaving their hometown to be refugees.

On January 27, Yun Zhao ordered the recruitment of 6,000 refugees to open up the land!

On January 29, the 600 robbers, Liu Xiong, the king of Jukou Town in Shangnan, entered Lantian County and were ambushed by the Lantian County regiment commander Yun Meng led the crowd to ambush in the middle of the night, defeating the robbers. The robbers fled until dawn. The robbers were in short supply. One of the heads of the 600 robbers was hung on the territory of Lantian County.

On the ninth day of the second month, Liu Xiong, King of the Heavenly King, Zhang Han, King of the Holy World, Chen Gun, King of Melons, and Han Yaofei sent an envoy to ask for ten thousand harbors of food. If he did not give it to him, the army would be everywhere without leaving any grass.

Yun Zhao was furious and killed three envoys from the Holy World King envoys on the spot, including Peng Ze, the two envoys below the Holy World King. Han Yaofei, the limbs of the one-winged king, took away his eyes, ears, and nose, and left a mouth alone to tell the giant gang of Shangnan that there was a lot of food in Lantian County, but he didn't give a single piece of food.

On the tenth day of the second month, Yun Zhao summoned Lantian County iron smelting to forge craftsmen, and made weapons in a large manner, preparing to resist the four enemies of Shangnan with the strength of the whole county. At the same time, he reported to the prefect of Xi'an Prefecture for help - but failed!

On February 12, Yun Zhao ordered the recruitment of 6,000 refugees who dared to fight, promising to have rewards after breaking the thief's village. After the war, the most important thing is that the meritorious people can settle in Lantian County, and the county government will allocate the newly reclaimed wasteland and allocate houses according to the size of military merits.

For a time, the refugees fought for the first place!

Hong Chengchou left the document and pointed at Liang Hedao, the genital general of Hongshui River who was waiting on the side: "How do you think of this eight-year-old county magistrate of this official Zhuoba?"

Liang He smiled and said, "It's not simple!"

Hong Chengchou licked his dry lips and said, "It's not just that. If all the county magistrates of the Ming Dynasty were half as decisive as this son, how could the Ming Dynasty be so powerful?"

Liang He also said: "He recruited team training, which was to recruit refugees as soldiers and offered huge rewards. It looked quite powerful on the surface. Once he went to the battlefield, there was no old soldiers to suppress them, these people would not succeed."

Hong Chengchou smiled and said, "You underestimate this little pig too much. This son is born with intelligence. He claims to be a wild boar spirit who can take over the Yun family's bull ears for a year and has caused huge waves in Lantian County. Until today, Lantian County is still firmly controlled. How can such a person have only such skills!"

Liang He was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you also believe that he is a wild boar spirit descending to earth? There are no less than ten elf characters that will be killed in the past two years!"

Hong Chengchou scratched his hair and said with a smile: "What other people are so beautiful? I only think he is a dog and pig ear. This guy is different. When you see him, you no longer think that it is ridiculous that I call him by the name of a pig.

Have you ever seen an eight-year-old child who was able to honor Shangguan with great gifts during the day, and who was drunk and robbed Mingyue Tower for more than 2,000 taels of silver?"

Liang He opened his mouth wide and said, "Is there such a thing?"

Hong Chengchou said quietly: "I even guessed that he robbed Mingyue Tower twice in succession."

"This is too bold."

Hong Chengchou smiled and said, "The problem lies in the lack of evidence. I am just a pure guess and there is no evidence in hand.

Now, this son has confirmed his position as the main hall of Lantian County. The appointment documents of the Ministry of Personnel have arrived in Xi'an. Even if the official wants to sue him, he can only report it to the three departments and his Majesty will make a judgment.

With this method, even if you arrive at the capital, Your Majesty will not be punished, and you will even be rewarded!

After all, if his behavior of destroying his family's misfortune was reported to the court by the Xi'an prefect, what would it be if such a loyal and brave man were not rewarded?"
