Xue Xu, Qin Sheng, Ji Wuyin and others saw off the large ship carrying grain at dawn.
Qin Sheng stretched and called to Liu Erxi, "Let's go, it's our turn to work!"
Liu Erxi immediately responded, "Yes."
Ji Wuyin looked at him with admiration. He was so energetic after a busy night. Are all the young people of this generation so energetic?
What he has experienced recently has made Ji Wuyin deeply aware that he is old and that the world belongs to these young people after all.
Later, they returned to the city.
Qin Sheng immediately took people to pick up the last large warehouse of grain.
When Wu Ren went south, in addition to the goods shipped to the south, he also brought a group of people. This group of people was mainly composed of soldiers from the Yang Wei Escort Bureau and the Qin family, and also brought with them some newly recruited soldiers in the military camp who were very trustworthy to them.
After all, the work they came out to do this time was still risky, and people who were not their own could not be trusted.
"Let's work, let's work!" Mr. Yang, the escort leader, skillfully directed everyone to work. They are returning to their old business, so don't cooperate too well.
When Qin Sheng led people to lift the granary, Xue Xu sent people to Xie Mansion to say hello to Xie Zhan.
Xue Xu hasn't left yet. He wants to wait until everyone has left before leaving. The main thing is to worry about it.
I heard someone sent by Xue Xu say that Qin Sheng and the others had a large amount of grain to be transported through the north gate, so they should be prepared. His face suddenly became so gloomy that he could shed water. He immediately guessed what the people from Liaodong County were planning! They want to clean up the mess for them! But he had to hold his nose and admit it.
After all, so much food is shipped out of the city, and if prevention and control is not done well, it can easily lead to riots.
Although Qin Sheng and others lost food during the riot, he and the Nandi County Sheriff were more responsible and could not escape the blame.
Xie Zhan informed the Nandi County Sheriff about the matter, and then they had to dispatch more manpower to the North Gate, and first transferred the refugees from the North Gate to work.
There were also a large number of officers and soldiers who were mobilized to set up defenses.
Ning Changge was one of the scholars determined to go to Liaodong County, and he was one of the ones with a firm attitude that was not easily shaken.
Because he was generous and righteous, he was quite famous among scholars.
After the news of his decision to go north spread in a small circle, his friends and classmates from the same year came to ask him if they could go together.
Ning Changge is incompetent.
So, one person shouted to another, friends led friends, and the team became a bit big.
Ning Changge was shocked when he learned that there were more than a hundred scholars going north together.
He wondered whether their team's force was worth it. For safety reasons, he approached shopkeeper Wu Renwu and wanted to ask if he could go together.
But at that time Wu Ren had already decided to go north with the ship, and he was also one of the people in charge of transporting grain by water.
So he told Ning Changge that he needed to return to Liaodong County by water because he had important matters. Moreover, it is better for them scholars to go north by land. After all, it is better to travel thousands of miles to read thousands of books. It will be beneficial to them to walk more and see more.
Then he said that if they were in need, he could introduce someone to them, and they scholars could follow his motorcade north.
Ning Changge just wanted to meet someone before talking.
Wu Ren made an introduction to them, and the person he introduced to them was none other than Qin Sheng. However, Qin Sheng used the pseudonym Lu Liuye at this time. After all, it was difficult for him to show his true identity.
With the help of Shopkeeper Wu, Ning Changge met with Mr. Lu Liu. The other party did not hesitate to ask them to go north together and agreed on a time to set off.
Early that morning, the scholars headed by Ning Changge had already left the city from the north gate and were waiting in an open space at the city gate to meet up with Mr. Lu Liu before setting off.
There were more than a hundred of them and a dozen carriages, parked half a mile outside the north city gate.
Many refugees outside the city gate looked at them curiously.
At this time, the government was already registering the refugees and arranging them to work one by one.
Although the officials have tried their best to take the refugees to work, there are still many refugees lingering outside the north city gate. However, they were all driven aside by the officers and soldiers, leaving a wide road extending from the city gate. to the outside.
Under the respectful eyes of the city gate guards, Xie Zhan and the Nandi County Sheriff now went up to the city tower. Not long after they went up, there was movement in the city.
I saw Liu Erxi leading the way, followed by Qin Sheng who had changed his appearance, followed closely by the grain transport team.
Xie Zhan stood on top, expressionless, looking down at Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng noticed the sight, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at him in the air.
Liu Erxi: "Sixth Master, the city gate has arrived, we are leaving the city!"
"Yes." Qin Sheng withdrew his gaze, gently pinched the horse's belly, and passed through the North City Gate.
Qin Sheng's team transporting grain was so vast that the end could not be seen at a glance.
The head has left the city, but the tail has not yet appeared.
Xie Nan whispered, "Master, this batch of food is about 100,000 dan."
Of course he knows! Xie Zhan couldn't help but grind his teeth. All told, Lu Songli and the others took away 300,000 shi of food from him! This number is consistent with his estimate of the amount of food hidden by the Zhu family.
When Yue Shu saw Qin Sheng, he quickly followed him with his young men, guarding both sides of the grain team, while the old, weak, women and children from Yuejia Village also followed.
After Yue Shu moved, several more waves of people moved.
The waiting team tailed out of the north city gate, followed by a large number of victims and refugees.
Scholars like Ning Changge were dumbfounded when they saw Lu Liuye's grain team. This - this -
No one expected that the team they set off with would be so huge!
"Brother Ning, should we leave?"
Ning Changge gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go!"
They also quickly followed!
Looking from the city gate, we can see waves of people lining up, the grain team is like a tree trunk, and these waves of people are like leaves.
"What is this?" Seeing this scene, the Nandi County Sheriff kept wiping his sweat, "These people won't follow the grain team to the north, right?"
"Obviously, it is."
The governor of Nandi murmured, "When did the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce connect so many people?"
Xie Zhan looked on expressionlessly.
It is estimated that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce's food team took away about 20,000 to 30,000 victims and refugees.
"Actually, it's good that these refugees have left, which just reduces the burden on the government." Twenty to thirty thousand of these disaster victims and refugees have left, and there are still hundreds of thousands of them who need to be resettled.
As the Nandi County Sheriff said this, he glanced at Xie Zhan next to him, fearing that he would offend him. This man is a ruthless man. He was exiled a few months ago. Now he has come from behind and led his family to become the largest family in the Southland. Even he was amazed by this mentality and method.
Xie Zhan said nothing. Indeed, what the person next to him said made sense.
But Xie Zhan is very sensitive. These common people originally belong to the Southland, just like the chickens and ducks in his cages, and the cattle and sheep grazing. If there are more or less, it will affect whether they are good or bad. development of the Southland.
Moreover, these populations are the source of tax revenue and soldiers...
He even suspected that the good ones were picked up by the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce.
However, these people were deceived by the people from Liaodong County, and he had no choice but to leave.
Xie Zhan lowered his eyes. At this moment, Lu Songli's people had completely cleared their chips and left.
Lu Songli, you have always been the one making the move, this time it is your turn to take my move, okay?
The next contest will be started by him, and the battlefield will be in Liaodong County.
Liaodong County looks very prosperous, but it doesn't know that the crisis has already been hidden. Lu Songli, I wonder if you can take my move?
