Chapter 868 Chapter 868, refugees

As the convoy got closer and closer to the gate, Daohua noticed that many refugees had gathered outside the gate.

Amidst the piercing cold and snowflakes, the refugees huddled together with trembling, and when they saw the convoy coming, they all surrounded them.

Meet the guards, immediately drew out their sabers and watched the refugees vigilantly.

The refugees saw that the guards took out their knives and were so frightened that they retreated.

On the city wall, the gatekeeper saw the convoy downstairs. He immediately guessed that this was the family of the newly appointed Master Zhenfu. He quickly ordered the gate to be opened and led others to greet them to disperse the refugees so that the convoy could be allowed. Free passage.

"This is the family member of Lord Zhenfu. No trouble is allowed."

Hearing this, the refugees who had been staring at the supplies on the carriage with green eyes all silently withdrew their gazes.

The newcomer Zhenfu is a good official. On the second day after he came, he set up a porridge shed at the gate of the city, and had a straw shed, so that they would not die in the cold and snow.

In the carriage, watching the refugees are as thin as firewood and dressed in thin, shabby clothes, Daohua's brows are frowning, and the lives of the people in Xiliang are worse than she imagined.

Seeing that the team is all going smoothly in the capital, the goalkeeper secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The last time the Xiao Mansion Guards brought a large amount of supplies into the city, the refugees rushed forward desperately. That time, many people were killed and injured.

Fortunately, nothing happened this time.

The convoy entered the city, and the city gate was closed again. The refugees retreated to the straw shed, staring at the direction of the porridge shed, waiting for the porridge in the evening.

Xiliang implements the management system of the health post. There are no prefectures, prefectures, counties, etc. The health post is responsible for military construction and civil administration.

The capital of Liangdu, where the commander's office is located, is equivalent to the provincial capitals of other provinces, and the nine guards below are equivalent to government cities.

Ganzhou Guard is the guard station with the largest defensive area in Xiliang, and it is also the guard station closest to Xiliao. The city of Ganzhou is very large, with thick and high walls. .

There are not many shops that open for business on the street. It was a little lively until the center of the city.

"The economy is too sluggish."

It didn't take long for the guards and soldiers to take Daohua and his party to Xiao Mansion.

Deshou, who received the news in advance, had already waited in front of the gate.

"Earth concubine, you are here!"

Deshou gave the gatekeepers and soldiers a dime of silver, greeted Daohua and Gu Jian outside the carriage, and led the convoy directly into the mansion through the corner gate beside it.

"This mansion is quite big!"

Entering the door, Daohua got out of the carriage in a cloak, and carefully looked at the house where she would live in the future.

Deshou smiled and said: "This mansion is the place where the previous commanders lived, so it was naturally built to be larger."

Daohua listened, and couldn't help but smile: "Your son is not polite at all. He is a small town caretaker who lives in the commander’s mansion."

She understood why Xiao Yeyang would do this.

The experience after entering Xiliang fully shows that the situation in Xiliang is very bad.

In this case, Xiao Yeyang didn't have time to develop slowly, and to run in and negotiate with other people, he just had to behave high-profile and domineering, so that he could better impose administrative orders in the future.

To live in the residence where the previous commanders lived is to tell everyone that Ganzhouwei has taken over, and here he has the final say.

Deshou took a look at Daohua's expression, and she was not surprised to see her, and didn't feel wrong. In my heart, the concubine still understands the master.

When the master wanted to live in, he and Defu persuaded for a while.

The master directly gave them a ‘you don’t understand’ look.

Rice lace walked and asked: "Where is Shi Ziye?"

Deshou: "The master took someone to inspect the defense zone."

Daohua asked again: "Why are so many refugees gathered outside the city gate?"

When it comes to this life, he looks angry: "It is not a good thing for the people of Xiliao. Every winter, the people of Xiliao like to cross the border to grab money and food. There are hundreds of villages and towns under the jurisdiction of Xiliao people. NS."

"Those people from Xiliao who robbed things didn't count. They also set fires and lost houses. Without winter money and food and shelter, the people can only flock to Ganzhou City to ask for a way to survive."

Speaking of this, Deshou became more and more angry.

"You don’t know the concubine, before the master came, there was no official who stood up to take care of the refugees outside the city. I heard that many people died of freezing and starvation."

Daohua frowned: "This Ganzhouwei official is too inaction." Xiliang is very sparsely populated, and the population is already sparse. The people can't live anymore. Who will be on the sidelines then?

There are five entrances to the mansion. After Xiao Yeyang moved in, he only cleaned up the front yard and moved in. There was no time to clean up the other yards.

Ina Flower probably strolled around, and then the two yards next to each other in the second entrance were cleared out.

There are only three masters at home, she, Xiao Yeyang, and Master. There is no need to live too wide. Now she has just arrived in a strange place, and she is worried that Master will not be comfortable, so she thinks it is better to live closer.

Other yards, wait until she is free.

Hurrying on the road for two consecutive months, Daohua and Gu Jian were too tired. After the house was cleaned up, after eating something, they each took a rest.

In the morning of the next day, Daohua was still shrinking in the warm bed, and Gu Yu came in and said that she had something to do with her.

Listening to the wind whistling outside, Daohua didn't want to get up, and asked, "What is Deshou looking for?"

Gu Yu: “Shi Ziye used to allocate a batch of food to let Deshou and the officials of the health station serve the refugees outside the city together. Now it seems that the food is used up.”

When Daohua heard that this was the case, she immediately sat up, and after she was dressed and washed, she went to see Deshou outside.

"Who is in charge of the congee shed?"

Deshou replied: "I am a slave, and there is a governor of a guard."

Daohua nodded, and looked at Gu Yu and Lixia: "You two will take someone to check the warehouse."

Even though she had brought a lot of supplies, Xiao Yeyang called a lot, and now she had to see how many supplies were left before she knew it well.

Daohua looked towards Deshou: “How much grain has been allocated by the son of the previous generation, and you can get another batch. Remember, you must be optimistic about the grain, and there is no corruption.”

Deshou nodded quickly: "The concubine, don't worry, the slave will be optimistic."

Daohua uttered an'um', and then he groaned again: "I'm afraid it won't work just to apply the porridge. It's too cold outside, wind and snow, and it's too cold to stay in the house. How can the refugees outside the city survive? live?"

"In this way, after you have received the food in a while, go to Gu Yu to get a batch of medicinal materials, and boil two pots of cold medicine soup every day for the refugees to drink."

"By the way, if you don't have enough manpower, go to Dr. Ge. He has several doctors."

Deshou nodded and agreed: "The minion will do it now."

After Deshou left, Daohua put on a cloak and went to Gu Jian's yard to accompany him for breakfast.

In the front yard, Governor Zhang Da saw that Deshou had pulled a few carts of food out, and his heart fell back to his stomach.

God knows how worried he is, worrying that if Master Xiao is absent, there will be no food. Without food, at least half of the refugees outside the city will die.
