After the grain transport team successfully left the city, Xue Xu smiled and said to Ji Wuyin, "It's time for me to leave too."

At this point, they were safe and sound.

Ji Wuyin waved his hand, "Let's go. Let's go." He felt melancholy as all the feasts in the world came to an end.

Qin Sheng sent two very skilled soldiers to escort Xue Xu back to the Li tribe. The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce also hired people to deliver the things they had prepared for him.

Of course, they only need to be sent to the outside of Shiwanda Mountain.

Xie Zhan's guess was correct. The total number of victims and refugees who followed them was about 26,000 to 7,000. Most of them had agreed to go north together, and some of them followed suit.

Along the way, Yue Shu consciously led others to help Qin Sheng and help the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce maintain rules and discipline.

The refugees looked eagerly at the carts of food.

Qin Sheng noticed this scene and lowered his head in thought.

With twenty to thirty thousand refugees following them, they must be handled carefully, otherwise there may be accidents such as riots and food grabbing.

When Qin Yan led the grain team out of three miles of land, they stopped in a bamboo forest.

Liu Erxi began to gather people, set up stoves, collect firewood, and bury pots to make rice.

In short, in addition to the family members of the employees, the refugees who have followed and those who want to eat must help with what they can.

This is their first step in dealing with the refugees, let them have enough food. As the saying goes, if you have enough food and clothing, you will know the etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace. If a person does not have enough food and clothing, it is difficult to have high morals.

Literate.

After the meal was ready, they began to distribute the meals.

Everyone was given two multi-grain steamed buns the size of an adult's fist and a bowl of porridge.

Each refugee took the steamed buns they were given and began to devour them. This was the best meal they had eaten in a long time.

While they were eating, twenty or thirty large pots were simmering medicinal soup.

These pots were made of decoctions to prevent epidemics. When they came to the Southland, Lu Songli asked them to boil the prepared plague-clearing potions they brought with them. She knew that many times, after a flood, there were usually

Disease.

After the meal, everyone had to drink a bowl of medicinal soup. The members of the food team clearly told everyone that this was to prevent epidemics. Everyone drank it obediently.

While the refugees were eating, Qin Sheng summoned Yue Shu and other more prestigious people among the refugees for a meeting, and also invited Ning Changge.

After everyone arrived, Qin Sheng didn't waste any time and announced something directly, "Our Liaodong Chamber of Commerce has decided to pay three days' wages to the employed personnel first!"

Because wages are settled in grain, that is to say, they are given grain in advance.

"What?"

Did they hear it correctly?

"You heard that right."

After hearing Qin Sheng's answer, some people realized that they had actually spoken out what was on their mind.

Yue Shu hesitated and said, "What if someone gets the food, no longer accepts employment, continues to go north, but chooses to sneak away?"

Qin Sheng said, "It doesn't matter if someone sneaks away, just do it like this!"

He once heard his daughter-in-law say that an excellent system must take into account the interests of the majority of people.

Sharing food is the first step, tying everyone together.

Later, he will also pay them five or ten days' wages.

Only in this way will they protect the 100,000 shi of grain from the grain team as their own.

And this can be regarded as a kind of screening. With a little money, you can screen out those with bad conduct first, otherwise these people will be a hindrance when things happen later.

As for those who took the food and sneaked away, it would be good if they survived.

He once heard his wife lament that their population in Dali was still too small.

Ning Changge glanced at Qin Sheng a few more times. He was very curious, what kind of place is Liaodong County? All of their group of people who came to the Southland performed well.

Qin Sheng decided, and Liu Erxi, Yang Wei and others took action immediately.

Everyone was excited when they heard that the grain team had paid their wages in advance, and everyone lined up to receive the grain as required.

The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce took out more than a dozen small scales when weighing grain.

Using this kind of platform scale to weigh grain is much faster than using a pole scale.

One by one, the refugees poked their heads around and took a strange look.

As more and more refugees receive food, the food team's food trucks are emptying one after another.

The refugees who received the food were all satisfied.

"Intensify patrols and defense tonight." Qin Sheng, Yang Wei, Liu Erxi, Yue Shu and other confidants said.

They looked at each other and nodded.

Of course, Qin Sheng knew that blindly being gentle and gentle was not enough. It must be followed by thunderous means. It is commonly known as courtesy first and then fighting. Without the protection of thunderous means, being gentle is just weak.

Qin Sheng had some thoughts of his own regarding these two to thirty thousand people.

On the first night, someone left quietly.

Someone came up with the idea of ​​​​taking food from the grain team. About a dozen little scoundrels who were accustomed to stealing food went to the grain truck and even touched the grain, but they were subdued. They also wanted to shout to create chaos and encourage everyone to grab food, but no one

It can't make a sound unless it's stuffed with rags.

These dozen or so little bastards were publicly punished by Qin Sheng in the early morning of the next day, in order to scare the monkeys.

On the night when the people of Liaodong County completely evacuated from the Southland, it was night and the stars were densely clouded. In the east, the original crape myrtle stars were slightly dim, but at this time, a few bright stars appeared in the north and south.

At this time, on a mountaintop somewhere in the Central Plains, an old man wearing a long robe and a bun was looking at the starry sky, speechless, "This - this -"

The boy next to him asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

"It's a mess, it's a mess."

"What's the mess?"

The old Taoist ignored the boy and just murmured in deep thought, "The purple stars gathered together, Tian Kui and Tian Yue came first, and Tian Xiang, Wenchang, Wen Qu and other subordinates appeared. This is obviously a sign of troubled times."

The old Taoist looked at the bright emperor stars in the sky and was worried. He knew that the era of great war was coming, but he didn't know when this troubled era would end after it started. He only hoped that the war would not be too tragic and that the common people would have a way out.
