The other masters gathered together and looked at each other, hesitant as to whether they should continue to confront Guifeng and the Crown Prince.
Mr. Zhao encouraged: "Why are so many of us gathered together, are we afraid of a little baby!?"
At this time, a hoarse and cold voice came, "Are you talking about my prince?"
All the gentlemen were shocked.
I saw a young man in black clothes approaching, with a sky-blue glazed forehead string on his forehead. His complexion was like jade, and his facial features were strong and quite beautiful - even evil.
Even at a young age, he was already very impressive.
Mr. Zhao, who had never seen him before, was a little shocked: "You, you are..."
"nigger."
The nigger drew his long sword out of its sheath, "Let me see who dares to be disrespectful to the Crown Prince! I won't leave any innocent souls behind under my sword!"
Mr. Zhao and others immediately did not dare to speak louder, especially Mr. Zhao, who had cold sweat falling from his forehead.
At first glance, these two people are not easy to mess with! Especially the one called the nigger, who has a strong murderous aura, and it looks like he has taken countless lives!
Mr. Zhao said tremblingly: "...Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings! Congratulations to the Crown Prince!"
Seeing this, the other masters also hurriedly said: "Welcome to the Crown Prince!"
Yu Wenyan didn't answer, and Shi Shiran took a seat at the main table.
There were two main seats, left and right. Mr. Zhao was originally sitting on one of the chairs, but now his butt was too hot and he didn’t dare to sit down! He quickly rolled up and said, "Master, what can I do for you?"
Just ask."
Yu Wenyan played with the jade ring on his hand, "If you have the guts to open a porridge shack and cause trouble, you should know the consequences. Niggers!"
"My subordinate is here."
"Whoever does it will have his fingers cut off."
Mr. Zhao and others were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They cried and knelt on the ground begging for mercy: "Sir, please show your mercy! We don't dare to do anything anymore! We definitely don't dare anymore! We will definitely cooperate with you in the future! We will never dare to do anything again."
You have evil thoughts! Please let us go!"
They don’t want to lose their hands!
Yu Wenyan sneered: "Is this your sincerity?"
He tapped his fingers on the table.
Mr. Zhao was stunned for a moment and then reacted.
money!
What Yu Wenyan wants is money!
Compared to your own life, money is nothing now!
Although he was still in pain, Mr. Zhao hurriedly said: "Here comes someone! Go to the warehouse quickly and get one million taels to give to the prince!"
Then he said with a smile on his face: "I just ask the prince to give me a way to survive! I will definitely support the governance of the refugees in Guifeng! I will obey the king of Southwest and your arrangements even more!"
Some people just can't give up until they reach the Yellow River. Now, Mr. Zhao and others are considered honest.
Mr. Zhao previously took out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and now he has taken out another one million taels. These are all cash in cash. The local dignitaries like them cannot compare with the capital. To be able to take out so much silver is already full of sincerity.
Yu Wenyan had no intention of killing them all.
Then he raised his eyes and looked at the other gentlemen.
Master Qian immediately said: "One million taels! My Qian family also contributed one million taels of silver!"
Afterwards, several gentlemen cut their flesh and took a large sum of money, and Yu Wenyan successfully raised four million taels in one breath!
Now it is barely enough to manage the refugees.
There are almost more than 60,000 refugees inside and outside the city, and each person has a quota of 66 taels, which is very sufficient.
It's just... if we still have to transport supplies from other places, plus the daily consumption of rice, flour, grain, oil, etc., and it's not sure if there will be new refugees coming after the city gate is opened...
Don't spend this money carelessly.
Yu Wenyan got satisfactory results and returned home. On the same day, he notified Hou Hong, "Open the city gate."
At that time, Hou Hong was still busy dealing with the problem and was very worried. His eyes widened when he heard: "Master, this Guifeng is under too much pressure!"
Yu Wenyan glanced at him and said quietly: "We have raised another four hundred taels of silver to open the city gate."
Hou Hong: "!!!"
He was overjoyed, "As expected of the Crown Prince! As expected of the Crown Prince! Okay, I will let the refugees in now!"
Hou Hong turned around and went to follow the instructions.
However, there must be rules for opening the city gate to let the refugees in, otherwise there will be chaos in Guifeng City.
First, Hou Hong climbed up the city wall, raised his arms and shouted, "Guifeng plans to open the city gate! However, you all must follow Guifeng's request! If you push or even trample, Guifeng City Gate will never be opened to you!"
This sentence clearly fell on the ears of every refugee outside the city!
They all "alive" again, and the crowd is excited!
"Thank you, Lord Hou! Thank you, Lord Hou!"
"Wow! I can finally be reunited with my family!"
"Open the city gate! When will the city gate be opened?"
The refugees became excited, stood up slowly, and moved forward little by little, fearing that they would not be able to get in if they were too late.
The soldiers who looked like the Great Wall still had fierce faces and formed a large circle to prevent these refugees from attacking the city gate.
Hou Hong shouted: "Don't panic! Don't make a noise! Now, listen to me! All line up in three lines! All line up in three lines!"
The refugees obeyed sluggishly, and there was some commotion and pushing among the crowd as they struggled to stand in front.
Hou Hong shouted: "Line up in an orderly manner! Whoever pushes you again will be executed on the spot!"
The refugees were now very obedient, and a large group of people was brought under control. Slowly, everyone followed order, and formed three long lines, with no end in sight.
Hou Hong saw that they were quite honest. Qi Lin and his men were stationed in front of the city gate. Hou Hong said: "Open the city gate."
As soon as the gate of Guifeng City opened, these people became a little restless again.
"Let me in!"
"Me first!"
Hou Hong yelled: "Be honest!"
Qi Lin also flashed his long sword with a bang!
These people fell silent immediately.
Qi Lin, who was under the city gate, saw that these refugees were honest, so he said: "Let them go."
Each of the three teams has two soldiers holding weapons at the front. These soldiers are wearing masks, gloves, etc. and are fully armed.
There are clean cloths, masks, gloves, etc. placed in large baskets around them. Before each refugee is put in, he must receive this set of things and must wear them all.
Not only that, everyone must also sprinkle some powder to prevent cholera, and then wear the medicine bag before being allowed to enter the city gate.
These refugees are not allowed to wander around after entering the city gate, and they are not even allowed to meet the original refugees in the city.
Armored soldiers guided them toward the mountain behind the Chenghuang Temple.
The refugees who built wooden houses near the City God Temple naturally saw so many people.
The two groups of refugees looked at each other, and they were very excited and talking about each other.
"The city gate is opened? The city gate is actually opened!?"
"That's great! That's great! Mr. Hou didn't lie to me! That's great!"
"Son! My son! Where are you!"
"Mother! Mother!"
People on both sides looked sad, but they could only look at each other from a distance and were not allowed to touch each other. They were heavily guarded and there was no fear of anything happening to them.
Cooperate inside and outside the city, and slowly the team will see the end.
When everyone entered the city, Hou Hong immediately ordered, "Close the city gate!"
Qi led others to follow suit.
The reason why Hou Hong was willing to let in this group of refugees outside the city was mainly because they arrived early and had been wandering near the city gate before. There were almost no changes, except that some refugees gave up entering Guifeng and chose instead.
Don't go out.
These people should not have problems such as cholera, so Hou Hong was relatively relieved. However, he was still very careful.
The soldiers were ordered to burn and bury the corpses outside the city, then sprinkle powder and other operations, and then the soldiers left.
Within the city.
All the refugees were driven to the mountains.
Guifeng is mostly hilly, and the terrain is steep in places, but there is no shortage of flat places where people can live.
The refugees don't know what the situation is now and what to do.
When Hou Hong and his deputy Qi Lin arrived, these people looked at Hou Hong hopefully.
"Master Hou!"
"Master Hou, you are our reborn parents, Master Hou!"
Hou Hong rode on his horse and said loudly: "Since you can come in, you must act according to Guifeng's rules! During these half months, you are not allowed to go down the mountain privately! There will be special soldiers to guard you! If you dare to go down the mountain privately, you will all be executed on the spot.
!”
These refugees all expressed their fear.
Hou Hong continued: "You have also seen the refugees at the foot of the mountain. They are building their own wooden houses. You must also build your own place to live. Otherwise, you will sleep in the open and there will not be so many people in Guifeng to take care of you!"
"Of course, we still have two meals a day. The thick porridge is provided by Guifeng, and the wood and tools are also provided by Guifeng."
"You open up wasteland yourself and find a way to survive on your own! Do you know?"
One by one, the eyes of the refugees slowly lit up.
"I know!" The voices were loud and excited.
Hou Hong looked at them with satisfaction, "No trouble, no internal strife! If you are sick, there will also be a doctor!"
After Hou Hong finished explaining, the soldiers threw all the materials to the refugees.
What happens to them next depends on their own destiny.
Hou Hong is still busy checking how long Guifeng's current storage of grain and other supplies will be enough for them.
After all, Guifeng has closed its city gates for some time, and supplies cannot come in. The whole city is staring at the original inventory of supplies to eat!
