There are tens of thousands of people and all kinds of strange things!
As time goes by, the number of refugees entering Guangchang is gradually increasing or even piling up.
There are two refugee camps in the east and west outside Guangchang, where thousands of refugees stay.
Porridge shacks were built one after another, but the number of refugees continued unabated.
Zhang Sheng looked at the hordes of refugees and was overjoyed.
More than a month after the switch, preliminary statistics indicate that the number of refugees arriving in Guangchang now exceeds tens of thousands. If this continues, Guangchang's population of 50,000 will be just around the corner.
"Shengwa, during this time, the old man noticed that something was wrong." Uncle Bao, the old man who was temporarily responsible for resettling the refugees, looked at the groups of refugees under the city, thought for a long time, and finally spoke.
"What's wrong?"
It was a matter of personal concern, so Zhang Sheng couldn't help but ask.
"Shengwa, the old man has interacted with these people a lot these days, and they got to know each other quickly. While chatting, the old man discovered that many of them came from Puyin and other counties, and there was news about our Guangchang incident there. It’s very evil. They say that we don’t collect taxes in Guangchang, we allocate fields, food, and houses, and we also take care of three meals a day. It’s like having a nose and an eye. Many people came here because they believed this rumor. Now, each of us only pays 100,000 yuan a day. After providing two taels of porridge, many people have begun to talk secretly, saying that we are thieves after all, do not respect credibility, and treat the people badly. Some people said it in a very unpleasant way." Old man Zhao told the little news he had heard these days. Speak slowly with the rumors.
Hearing Uncle Bao's words, Zhang Sheng's back suddenly broke out in white sweat.
Praise for killing? People's opinions make gold, but accumulation destroys bones?
There must be someone behind the scenes, and it seems to be an unsolvable conspiracy!
Depicting Guangchang as a beautiful paradise and deceiving a large number of people to come, either Guangchang will meet the needs of the people and be overwhelmed by tens of thousands of people; or it will take advantage of people's psychological gap to make the people come with full expectations. Later, he came back extremely disappointed, making the people disappointed in Guangchang and themselves, and thus became hostile to Guangchang and hated themselves.
A poisonous plan, a really poisonous plan!
Zhang Sheng's eyebrows stood straight up as he looked at the people below the city and his mind began to spin rapidly.
It is not difficult to guess the manipulator behind it. There must be some powerful people from the wealthy families in the county.
How to deal with it?
Destroy it? Flat?
After destroying Puyin and pacifying Yi County? There are also Yuan clan, Lu Nu, and Luoyang, wipe them out one by one?
Unrealistic, at least, not for the time being.
what to do?
"Lang Jun, actually, don't pay attention to these rumors. The pure will be pure and the turbid will be turbid. There is a steelyard in the hearts of the people. As time goes by, the rumors will be self-defeating." Zhou Chuang frowned as he watched. Zhang Sheng, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but say a word of comfort.
"Brother Sheng, actually, I also heard those rumors, and I was quite angry at the time. Later, I thought about it, maybe this is a good thing. Didn't you always say in the past that you will know whoever stays with us together for a while, now , isn’t it a good time to be tough? Those who are sensible will naturally get through it and stay. Those who can’t get through it are all greedy people. We should be happy when they leave us..." Shitou followed Zhou Chuang from the side. He gave some words of comfort again.
Father, like son!
Hearing the comfort from Zhou Chuang and Shitou, Zhang Sheng's heart suddenly became enlightened.
Yes, make people suffer!
The waves wash away the sand, and the real gold remains at the end.
boil!
In the past, it was one out of ten who could survive, but now, it is one out of tens of thousands who could survive. The more people you fool, the more people I can survive.
Population is the primary productive force!
Are you afraid of not being able to develop even if you have a population?
The team has grown and grown, are you still afraid of all of you talking about it?
You live your life, and I live my life. With comparison, the rumors will naturally be broken without any attack.
The team has developed, but are they still afraid of defeating Guangchang?
No grain? Just grab it!
In the past, I dared to rob the Liu family in Puwu, the Gao family, the Zhang family, and the Chen family in Guangchang. When the team developed, I dared to rob Changshan County, Jizhou, and Luoyang.
Conspiracy? But that's it!
I want to see how long your conspiracy can last? Can you deceive the people of Quanchang Mountain, Jizhou, and even the whole country?
Zhang Sheng, who had thought clearly, took the lead and walked down the city to the refugee camp.
Yang Mazi personally led a team of people to maintain order, and a temporary porridge shed was set up. Jars of porridge that could be seen in person were cooked and distributed, and in an instant only the bottom of the bowl was left.
Ragged clothes, skinny bones, and numb faces are the common characteristics of these people. In their eyes, only the desire for a life is left. As for gratitude, in front of that bowl of hot soup, they have long been forgotten.
"Shengwa, do you want to increase their quantity a little more?" Uncle Bao, an old man, looked at the people holding hot soup and pouring it down with unbearable expression.
"No, just take this amount and just endure it. What Shitou just said is right. Those who can endure it are our people. Those who can't endure it, let them stay." Zhang Sheng made a decision, and Uncle Bao no longer wanted to speech.
At this moment, Zhang Sheng's heart was as hard as stone. He knew that the enemy wanted to take advantage of his kindness, how could he let them succeed?
"Mazi, starting from today, the number of soldiers maintaining order in the refugee camp will be doubled again. Please pay attention to those who spread rumors among the people, those who are arrogant, gossips, and those who do not obey the command, all of them will be carefully observed by me. After a thorough screening, if they are common people and their families, they will all be driven out of Guangchang. If they are interested, as long as they give true testimony, they will all be chopped off by me and their heads will be hung on high poles." Looking at the messy refugees, Zhang Sheng ordered Say Yang Mazi, Mazi nodded in response.
In this troubled world, allowing you to hang on to your life is already the greatest kindness to you. If you want to ask for more, I'm sorry, I can only let you fend for yourself.
People must know how to be content!
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other. They knew that at this moment, the enemy had once again successfully aroused the murderous intention of the semi-big leader in front of them.
Within a few days, the number of refugees in the refugee camp outside the city had exceeded 10,000 again.
More than a hundred human heads, dripping with blood, were hung on the newly erected high pole of the porridge shed. The group of refugees was much more orderly and no longer cluttered. Of course, every stone of grain in Guangchang City was also being consumed rapidly. …
Just eating, not working, pure consumption? That won't work.
Forced labor, you have to pay something if you want to survive. Where in the world are there free meals?
I don't run a charity, I am just a thief who everyone wants to kill.
"Stones, let them quarry them, and the quarried stones will be piled neatly outside the city. During our leisure time, there are so many thatched houses in the city that cannot keep out the rain in the summer and keep warm in the winter. Now that we have the people, we can gradually start renovating them." ." Zhang Sheng ordered Shi Shi, the civil servant.
"Brother Sheng, the refugees are only allowed to stay in the refugee camp for ten days..." Shitou reminded carefully.
"We can't stay still for ten days. We must try every means to get them moving and use up the little energy they have. In this way, those who can't stand it will naturally think of other ways and places to survive." They are our people. At the same time, there is another advantage to doing this. As the news spreads, those people who are lucky enough to take advantage will not come again, and those who come will give up and leave as soon as possible, which will reduce our pain. Pressure." Zhang Sheng knew the meaning of Shitou's reminder, so he had to take the trouble to explain his intention to him.
"Brother, is this too cruel? If these people leave, it will definitely damage our reputation." Yu Zhong asked what he was thinking.
Zhang Sheng turned back in surprise and looked up and down at this partner who killed enemies without even blinking. Since when did this guy become so soft-hearted?
"You are thinking wrong?" Yu Zhong, who made Zhang Sheng look a little uncomfortable, asked again.
"Yes, this is a good question. But, A-Zhong, there is a saying that goes as great as our ability. Now, our ability is only so great, so we must ensure that we can do whatever we can while we are alive. As long as you have a clear conscience. As for reputation, in the eyes of others, we are just thieves, so do we still have a reputation? Besides, those who can follow us will naturally know what we have done, but those who cannot follow us, Why should we care about their opinions? In short, in a word, we live for the ideals in our hearts, not for others to see. Now, our actions may seem ruthless, but only if we live better can we be better in the future. Taking care of more people is the principle and the bottom line. You can’t do stupid things like trying to make people look fat.”
Zhang Sheng's statement made everyone around him thoughtful...
