Spring rain is as precious as oil.
Especially for the land that has just been reclaimed and planted with seeds, these two consecutive spring rains have almost restored more than half of the crops that were delayed due to the severe cold.
Seeing those tender green sprouts emerging from the soil, even though they knew that this land did not belong to them, the faces of the refugees who were working hard still showed a smile of relief.
Only after experiencing ups and downs can a person know how precious it is to live peacefully!
In order to continue this peace, all the refugees worked hard, farming and working. In short, no one was willing to be lazy.
In the vast land outside the city, almost all the refugees are working hard.
After some people finished their work, they secretly reclaimed some unclaimed fields.
In this regard, those guys who went out to supervise the work also turned a blind eye and closed their eyes. As long as they didn't sow all the seeds given by the master, they didn't bother to care. Anyway, one more piece of land that can grow food would be better than letting him grow. The grass is strong!
In this situation of mass production for the whole people, the refugees do not need to supervise the work at all.
Therefore, those idle supervisors can only gather together in twos and threes, bragging and flattering to pass the boring time.
"Hey, do you know? Recently, a baby named Xiao Luo was brought into the city under the personal order of the Marquis!"
Outside the city, under a willow tree that had just sprouted buds, a thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks and a melon cap on his head squinted his eyes and said lazily to the people next to him.
Next to him, a sturdy man sitting cross-legged looked at him in surprise and asked angrily: "Xiao Luo? That Xiao Luo?"
"That's that little Luo. His name is Luo... Bin... yes, his name is King Luo Bin!" The thin man shook his head and replied: "Just a few days ago, I heard that the Marquis personally ordered him to live in the city with his mother. , tsk tsk, it makes the refugees under my hands so envious!"
It's not surprising that the thin man is showing off information like this. The main reason is that Ningcheng has already strictly prohibited refugees from entering the city at will.
Of course, this does not mean that urban residents discriminate against refugees outside.
But because Ningcheng is now becoming more and more famous in the surrounding area, and it is attracting more and more refugees. From the first ten thousand people, there are now twenty to thirty thousand!
With so many people gathering together, apart from eating and drinking, the most important thing is epidemic prevention!
It is said that after a major disaster, there will be a great epidemic. If a plague came at this time, Xiao Han could not imagine what would happen to these tens of thousands of people!
Therefore, under the suggestion of Old Man Hua, the fat county magistrate sent people to divide these refugees into groups and place them around Ningcheng one by one. On weekdays, they were not allowed to move around at all, let alone enter the city, just to prevent them from going into the city. Once an epidemic is discovered, it is best to prevent and control it in time.
Moreover, because Xiao Han has already had rich experience in epidemic prevention, in addition to these precautionary measures, his control over the refugees outside is also getting stricter at this time!
Things like the prohibition of drinking raw water and the prohibition of open defecation were repeatedly announced to the refugees as soon as they were resettled!
In this way, if someone else is caught violating the regulations, they will be punished for the first time so that they can remember it!
If you have a bad memory and continue to commit the crime, you will have to be kicked out of the resettlement center with your whole family the second time!
This punishment is too harsh! It's countless times more ruthless than hitting a board!
At this stall, except for having a good meal in Ningcheng, those refugees would end up starving to death anywhere else!
Therefore, in order not to experience the despair of starvation again, and in order that their family would not be hindered, almost all the refugees kept in mind the regulations read by the steward, and even recited a few words when they went to bed at night.
In addition to these extremely severe punishments, the government also ordered them to bathe on time, spread lime to disinfect the place where they lived from time to time, report to the health worker in time if they had a fever, and were not allowed to handle it themselves, etc.
The so-called health workers here are men wearing red armbands on their shoulders and walking around.
God knows where the government found these animals!
As long as they find something wrong with the refugees outside, the consequences cannot be described as miserable.
Not to mention anything else, just two days ago, they found a lazy man with fleas crawling on his body. He was caught on the spot and dragged directly to the river to start taking a bath!
This is the river water in early spring!
In some shady places, there are even scattered ice cubes emerging! And that lazy man was kicked directly into the river by those animals in front of everyone!
Not to mention, I saw the lazy man in the water shivering from the cold and unable to control his fingers.
The group of animals on the shore actually used the excuse that the lazy man didn't know how to take a bath, so they forced him to find a big broom to sweep the street, and stood on the shore and brushed him up and down like a piggy!
Thinking about the lazy man's screams like killing pigs at that time, it really made anyone who heard it sad and everyone who saw it shed tears!
However, since then, no matter which refugee he is, even if he has worked in the fields for a day, he has to wipe himself quickly after coming back, for fear of being caught by those animals and being treated like that again. In other words, he is a lazy man after taking a bath. , so clean...
"What? King Luo Bin? I've never heard of it!"
On the other side, after the thin man finished selling the news, the man frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "What's wrong with him? Why did the Marquis take him into the city alone?"
"This..." Upon hearing this, the thin man suddenly sat up and said mysteriously: "I'm not sure about this, but there are rumors that Xiao Luo's mother is very good-looking..."
"Nonsence!"
The thin man wanted to continue talking, but when the man heard this, he spat at the thin man with contempt.
Just by looking at the skinny guy's expression, the man knew what the skinny guy wanted to say!
But when he thought about it, how could that high-ranking official from the capital be like those bachelors in the city, unable to move when they saw a woman and trying every possible means to get her into his bed?
"Hey, don't believe it!" Seeing that the man didn't seem to believe what he said, the thin man immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on and said, "A friend of mine who is an errand in the yamen said so! That mother and son were killed Arranged in an inn in the city, all expenses will be paid by the Marquis Mansion, tsk tsk, you said that if there is nothing in between, who can be so kind to a down-and-out boy?"
"Tch..." The man rolled his eyes, but still asked calmly: "Catch thieves, seize stolen goods, and rape in bed. Why, did someone see the Marquis going to that woman's room?"
"this……"
"Hmph, it's okay. If you don't listen to the wind, you will be the rain! Dare to tell anyone's gossip? If it really reaches the ears of the Marquis, how many heads do you have to chop off!"
