Yuzhou, Yingchuan County, Yangdi, Gaoyangli.
The shackles of the party have been lifted, and everyone in the house, young and old, looks happy. The Xun family has lived here for generations. With the prestige of Balong and Sanruo, the Xun family has the potential to surpass the Yuan family of the Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes and become the leader of the world's noble families.
In a spacious study room, a middle-aged man with a square face sat on his knees, his body upright, his eyes closed and meditating. On the desk in front of him, a scroll of letters was displayed. The boy serving beside him glanced at his master, who was contemplating with his eyes closed, and then turned his head. He couldn't help but secretly glance at a few lines of fonts on the letter.
In April of the seventh year of Guanghe, there was a severe drought. The Julu people raised their horns and wore yellow scarves on their heads. They raised their poles and shouted, "The sky is dead, the yellow sky is standing, and the year is Jiazi, and the world is auspicious." More than half of the prefectures and counties in the world responded. Afterwards, hundreds of thousands of bandits spread across several states, attacking cities and plundering territory, killing officials and rebelling.
…
In the early summer of the seventh year of Guanghe, Bocai, the leader of the Yingchuan bandit army, led more than 100,000 bandits. They first defeated thousands of officers and soldiers led by Zhu Jun, the general of Youzhonglang, and then besieged Changshe. Huangfu Song, the general of Zhonglang, guarded the city for two months. The bandit army formed a camp based on grass. Song used fire attacks to destroy the enemy camp and the entire army fled. Later, they were blocked by Cao Cao, the cavalry captain who came for reinforcements. He suffered heavy losses. The officers and soldiers pursued him all the way. The rebels suffered numerous casualties and the Yingchuan rebels were defeated.
In the eleventh month of the seventh year of Guanghe's reign, Huangfu Song, the Marquis of Duxiang and General Zuo Zhonglang, together with Guo Dian, the governor of Julu, led an army to break through Quyang. They formed a formation to kill the thief Zhang Bao and captured and killed more than 100,000 people in order to build the capital. . Song was appointed General Zuo Cheqi, led the herdsman of Jizhou, and was granted the title of Marquis of Huaili. He was granted the title of tax collector in Huaili and Meiyang counties, and a total of 8,000 households in the town.
In the eleventh month of the seventh year of Guanghe's reign, Liu Cang's wife in Luoyang gave birth to a boy, and she appeared with two heads. She thought it was ominous, so she fell to the ground and abandoned her.
In December of the seventh year of Guanghe, the emperor changed his reign to Zhongping.
…
In February of the second year of Zhongping, Zhang Sheng, a remnant of the Yellow Turbans, destroyed Liu's Wubao in Puwu and massacred the fort. No one, old or weak, was spared.
In the fifth month of the second year of Zhongping, bandits broke into Guangchang, sentenced and massacred the city. Thousands of people were hanged, blood flowed, and the Gao, Zhang, Chen and other clans of Guangchang were wiped out...
When the servant boy saw this, the ink on the font had not yet dried, and there was a blank after that. He felt a sense of loss, but it disappeared again.
If he wants to see it, he can only wait until something interesting happens outside. When his master, who loves history, records it again, he will be able to satisfy his curiosity again.
The footsteps of Da Da approached from far away. The servant boy turned his head and took a look. He was heartbroken and forgot what he should do for a moment. Eyes flashing, mouth slightly open.
"Cough...cough..." A few coughs reached his ears, and the servant boy was shaken. Then he knelt down in a hurry. Fortunately, fortunately, the master was kind and did not punish him. But I can't blame myself for this, because the person who came here was so handsome, handsome, elegant, and graceful? It is said that if the master is seen by a man, he will drop the hoe and forget to plow the fields. If the master is seen by a young lady, he will put down the weaving and worship from a distance. You can't blame yourself for the discourtesy.
He took off his shoes, gave a courtesy, and went through the process meticulously. The visitor sat down on the guest seat. The servant boy knew that the two brothers would have a long talk, so he got up and called the maid to serve warm soup. They exited the house and waited at the door. This had been the rule for several years. When the two brothers were talking, they did not want any servants to disturb them.
The sound of conversation in the room could be heard faintly, and the servant boy quickly listened carefully.
"Second brother is so happy, are you recording this interesting anecdote again?"
"Fourth brother is laughing at me. As a brother, I only have these few hobbies left."
"well……"
"Why do fourth brothers sigh?"
"The county soldiers are incompetent. Let this thief steal Guangchang, which will cause great trouble! We must send people to capture and kill this thief quickly, otherwise, it will cause a big disaster in the future, and the harm will be even worse than that of the Zhangjiao thief."
"How can I see it?"
"Brother, do you still remember the owner of the head that has been preserved in the palace for more than a hundred years? Don't you think that this thief is very stylish in his actions? Besides, I heard that this thief is not even young yet, he is very organized in his actions, and he does not lack wisdom. Technique, now, this bandit organizes people to reclaim wasteland and build charity warehouses. In time..."
"Hiss, my fourth brother's foresight is inferior to mine. I am worthy of Wang Zuo's talent."
As a gasp of air rang out in the room, the words that followed gradually fell into silence, and the servant boy listened carefully without hearing a word...
"Uncle Chen, I heard that Guangchang doesn't force donations..."
"Brother Tian, it is said that Guangchang has three meals a day? And he has enough to eat?"
"Ah Weng, they said that at Zhang Sheng's place in Guangchang, children can read and read for free..."
"Auntie, I heard that Zhang Sheng destroyed the big landlords in Guangchang..."
In the Black Mountains, in the four fields, on the streets of Luoyang, at the foot of the Goushi Mountain, after tea and dinner, Zhang Sheng's name can be heard from time to time from various people, and then into the ears of others. As time goes by, the number of people mentioning Zhang Sheng's name is decreasing, but the scope But it is slowly expanding. Traffickers and lackeys, literati and rogue knights, all kinds of people seemed to have a vague impression of Zhang Sheng's name in their minds, but they seemed to have nothing to search for, and they just dissipated in the heat of summer...
Zhang Sheng didn't know everything that was happening outside Guangchang, nor did he know that what he did in Guangchang, like the first roar of a young tiger, had left a little mark on the Chinese mainland.
The days slipped away again through the fingers of Zhang Sheng holding his head; they disappeared from the gap between his curled hair.
Happiness accompanied by troubles is Zhang Sheng's mood now.
After the switch, as time went by, Zhang Sheng found that there were fewer people leaving and more people coming in.
Ragged, unkempt, and skinny people helped the old and the young, and gradually entered Wuruan Pass and Blackstone Ridge.
The people are the productive force and endless wealth.
It’s just that people need to eat. With the continuous influx of people, we can’t let people drink from the northwest wind, right?
In addition, in this era of rampant epidemics, people from all walks of life are pouring into Guangchang. If they are not handled properly and an epidemic occurs, there will be no way to seek help and no way to escape.
A temporary refugee reception system was hastily set up.
First, two refugee camps, east and west, were established outside Guangchang City and implemented military control.
Second, people entering the camp must be soaked in wooden barrels filled with lime water for half an hour, including their clothes. After that, they will stay in the refugee camp for a few days. If there is no abnormality, they will be included in the camp and leave the refugee camp. .
Third, the old and new civilian system will be implemented for one year. All new refugees will be organized into a settlement of 100 households as new residents. Children of school age can be voluntarily sent to Guangchang City to study and become literate. Adults will be dispatched by the Anping Army to reclaim wasteland and receive food rations. It will be supplied by the Anping Army, and each person will be provided with two taels of food per day, as long as he or she does not starve to death.
Fourth, if someone in the family voluntarily joins the army, their family members will enjoy the treatment of old citizens.
Just endure it, there is no charity hall in Guangchang, everyone has to fend for himself, and those who endure it are his own people, if you can't endure it, please do what you want.
The city is busy, and there are crowds of people outside the city. Guangchang City is once again full of vitality, and the people once again see the hope of life while working hard...
