On the road, the common people looked at the Hu people carefully while walking.
They were extremely afraid of the trouble caused by the barbarians. If there was any trouble, they would rush back to Jiading.
And they may never return to Chengdu, they believe their own eyes.
What surprised the people was that even though tens of thousands of people were being escorted to Chengdu, no barbarians were causing trouble.
Qin Yulong and Yang Wu saw the strong strength of the Sichuan Protecting Army and the security group this time, and although they felt a little uneasy, they decided to take up their posts after much consideration.
After all, going from a small place like Qin Yulong to serving in Chengdu is completely different. His position has been upgraded, just like being promoted from the mayor of Leshan to the mayor of Chengdu.
Since Xin Zhicai had not yet come to Jiading to take up his post, Yangwu temporarily took charge as acting prefect.
Although Qin Yulong had already been mentally prepared, he felt a little cold when he came to Chengdu.
Chengdu already has its name. Not only are nine of the ten houses empty, but there are ruins and broken walls everywhere.
Qin Yulong couldn't help but shed tears. These were the consequences of the barbarians' burning, killing and looting.
His wife and children all asked to go back, never wanting to see this hell on earth again.
Chengdu now urgently needs to restore its popularity. Without anyone, there is nothing.
Chengdu originally had a population of one million, so it was known as the Land of Abundance.
But these people died, and many of them were either hiding in the countryside or fleeing to Jiading with the army.
Now there are only about 100,000 people left in Chengdu, which is not much better than a large county.
Thanks to the "Da Song Zhonghua News", they learned that Zhaojiazhuang was prosperous, easy to make money and had a large number of livelihoods. Many people, old and young, traveled to Zhaojiazhuang hundreds of miles away.
This is also the main reason for the influx of large numbers of outsiders into Zhaojiazhuang some time ago.
Zhaojiazhuang has become a paradise on earth, while Chengdu seems to be still a hell on earth.
Everyone longs to go from hell to heaven, but everyone avoids going back to hell.
Now Qin Yulong encounters this embarrassing problem. If he has this ability, he will definitely beat Zhao Ping severely.
After getting out of this bad mood, he strongly asked Zhao Ping to send these people back the way they came.
But in fact, this is impossible, and even if Zhao Ping lets them come back, no one may be willing to come back.
Everyone knows that when people go to higher places, water flows to lower places.
Qin Yulong was thinking hard in front of the broken walls of Chengdu, and suddenly he showed a smile.
His wife, Mrs. Li, saw his sudden smile and couldn't help asking: "Has the official found a way?"
Qin Yulong nodded, looked at Qin Li and her daughter, and said, "There is a way, but it is difficult to implement. But it is better than nothing."
As the prefect, their residence was certainly more luxurious than that in Jiading. Not only did it have winding paths, but it also had an artificial small lake and a winding railing connected to the pavilion in the lake.
Even so, their children are not very happy. Compared with the bustling Jiading, there are more broken walls than complete ones, lifeless and gloomy.
The popularity of Chengdu as a whole is actually not as good as that of Jiading, not to mention the unfamiliar people and environment here.
Zhao Ping had already anticipated all this and used the "Da Song Zhonghua News" to build momentum for the security group and the Sichuan Army to enter Chengdu.
Liu Deliang is annoyed to death now. His wife keeps nagging him, saying that he is a troublemaker who cannot do anything in literature or martial arts.
Liu Deliang felt that he had been wronged. His wife married him because he was a civil servant, but unexpectedly she disliked him for being a civil servant.
After all, Liu Deliang basically doesn't know anything except reading.
In fact, Liu Deliang still feels good about himself. He has already been elected for three times. According to the court's practice, if he does some activities, he may be able to get the qualification of a fellow Jinshi.
Unexpectedly, after the Hu people came, they would conduct the imperial examination at all, leaving him, a three-time examiner, completely useless.
After the city of Chengdu was broken, Liu Deliang also wanted to flee with his family to the Song Dynasty and to places like Changzhou.
But he was a weak scholar, and he was out of breath after running a few steps, so he had to give up the idea.
There are two children in the family, and the wife mainly relies on her to do laundry, starch clothes, and mend clothes.
At most, he can earn a little money by copying books, which is far less than what his wife can earn.
After all, printing is so convenient now, copying books is extremely slow and error-prone, causing the book copying business to become increasingly deserted.
Moreover, in order to save oil, the lady kept mending her clothes under the oil lamp for a long time, which caused her eyesight to become increasingly blind.
As a dignified man, he even made his wife almost blind to support him, and he has become a well-known nerd.
The sound of "Dang Dang" came, and Liu Deliang heard the sound of the gong, which was coming to urge the payment of taxes, and wanted to run away.
But he couldn't take the next step, because he said he wanted to recruit special newspaper readers, and he said brilliantly that he could earn more than fifty yuan a day.
Liu Deliang doesn't know if it's exciting or not, but as a third-term candidate, it's certainly not a problem to be able to read newspapers.
In the evening, when Liu Deliang proudly handed one hundred coins to his wife, she burst into tears and kept counting the coins with her rough hands.
Not only that, she immediately boiled water and washed Liu Deliang's feet herself.
Liu Deliang was enjoying and recalling that it must have been seven or eight years ago since his wife stepped forward to wash her feet.
Liu Deliang is just one of hundreds of storytellers, and this is part of Zhao Ping's propaganda offensive.
Of course, others are lion and dragon lanterns.
When the Hu soldiers were tied with ropes and entered Chengdu dejectedly, people gathered around the Hu soldiers for several miles outside the Chengdu wall to watch.
Suddenly, stones, rotten eggs, and rotten vegetables were thrown at these barbarians.
Suddenly, a middle-aged woman rushed forward, cursing and biting wildly at a Hu man. It turned out that the Hu man was trying to force her daughter, but her son found out and tried to stop him, but he was also killed.
A young man bit a Hu soldier because his parents were killed by Hu soldiers.
A half-year-old man also picked up a stone and killed a Hu soldier because his wife was raped and then killed by this Hu soldier.
...........
Thousands of cases have been discovered since then.
Hu people are extremely angry and must appease their anger.
After Zhao Ping heard about it, he immediately sent Xi Xing and other officials.
Zhao Ping did not let anyone stop the people's behavior.
Chengdu was plundered by barbarians twice, so it was natural that they needed to vent their anger.
The Hu people who committed evil after being vented by the people were immediately arrested and thrown into prison.
Xi Xing told the people that the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty were to protect the people of the Song Dynasty. Since the Hu people had done evil, they would have to pay the corresponding price.
In a few days, a public trial will be held in Chengdu, where all the evil-doing Hu people will be tried in public. Those who deserve to be beheaded will be beheaded, and those who deserve to be jailed will be jailed.
The common people cried, beat and scolded the barbarians, and kept thanking the officers and soldiers.
Lu Wei, who was preparing to finalize the draft, shed tears for the people and asked sadly: "Xiao Langjun, how can we judge so many barbarians? If we don't handle it properly, we will be easily attacked by the officials."
Zhao Ping nodded and said: "Taiping's concerns are indeed justified. This matter involves too many things. Go and find out who are the evildoers and how many are Han?"
Lu Wei then took the order and left. An hour later he came back very tired and said, "Xizhubo told me that most of these evildoers are the original Jin people and Xixia people, and a few are Han people."
The Chengdu people in tattered clothes and disheveled faces who came to welcome him, as well as the ruined city walls and black and other pyrotechnic colors of Chengdu, are all the result of the evil deeds of the barbarians.
The beautiful land of abundance almost turned into a hell on earth.
So he said to Cuizhu, Wang Guo'er and Zhao Long: "These people have suffered and been plundered by the barbarians. From this capture, Qin Yulong gave most of it to the people of Chengdu. Maybe it belonged to them originally. Our Zhaojiazhuang does not lack this kind of money."
Xi Xing nodded after hearing this and asked in confusion: "Xiao Langjun, our Sichuan Army Guards also need pensions and rewards."
Sure enough, he is stingy, but he is just a good housekeeper.
Zhao Ping shook his head and said: "Now that the government and the people are still poor, where can there be money? Chengdu is still a bottomless pit, completely poor."
Zhao Ping thought to himself, the government still wants us to help, but this cannot be said out loud.
Xi Xing thought for a while and found that it was indeed true. The barbarians had already raided Chengdu completely, and the people were still waiting for relief from the government.
Xi Xing nodded: "We can provide the money, why should we give it to the government?"
Sure enough, he is a nerd. The literati are trying their best to suppress the generals. If you do this, aren't you handing over the blame to the literati?
Zhao Ping shook his head and said: "Our Sichuan Protecting Army and Security Group already have the support of the people, and there is no need to win over the support of the people."
Xi Xing couldn't help but be stunned: "We are not trying to win over people's hearts. We just feel uncomfortable doing this."
It seems that he still doesn't understand officialdom, maybe he will understand after time.
Zhao Ping reminded him and said: "The Song Dynasty relied on civil society to control military affairs. If we openly provide money, what will the literati think about it?"
Xi Xing thought about it and couldn't help but sigh.
First, give money to the people of Chengdu, but this is not enough. We must also give justice to the people of Chengdu.
"Also, you ask Xi Zhubu to organize a hundred or more literate and literate Wushang to form a temporary military force (president of the court) to judge these evil-doing barbarians. Once they are tried and convicted, they will be beheaded if they should be beheaded. , and then build the Jingguan. Let those barbarians who dare to do evil and those who want to do evil see the consequences of their evil deeds."
When Yu Jie received the official document from Zhao Ping, he couldn't help but be shocked. He organized a temporary court with a hundred holes. Although most of them were Hu people, what should be done if an unjust, false or wrong case occurred?
After all, the Song Dynasty was about following the law, not just random people.
Yu Jie arranged for the chief Bo Tangyi to bring the officials to inspect these holes.
You really don’t know if you don’t check, and you’ll be shocked if you check.
These Kongmu were not only familiar with the laws of the Song Dynasty and related to robbery and murder, but they were all able to read and write, and each of them could read more than 1,000 words, and some even had around 2,000 words.
Three days later, with Yu Jie's consent, Zhao Ping formed a temporary court with one hundred holes to conduct a public trial against the Hu people who committed robbery and murder.
When interrogating Zighar, Zighar shouted: "I am the prefect of Chengdu. You villains are not qualified to judge me."
Although he has become a de facto eunuch, he is still a captain of thousands and has also been the prefect of Chengdu, so he has a formidable imposing manner.
