Jiang Ning frowned and shook his head: "I knew that nothing good would happen today. If we were to play chess or something, it would definitely be dark and dark, and we would have to decide who would win or lose. I'd better not read it..." As he spoke,

Another glass of wine.

Bi Chengan smiled slightly and said: "Zichuan is angry, ah... haha..."

Xia Kang also laughed: "If you don't know Zichuan that you don't seek fame, I and I have repeatedly tried to introduce you to serve the people and help the building collapse. Now you are at least a fourth-grade official. It's really not possible.

To tell you the truth, no one thought that the matter of Princess Changping would change midway. Fortunately, the danger was saved, otherwise we would really be embarrassed to live in Hangzhou."

Xia Kang said this with great sincerity. What is his identity? The iron-hatted prince, even if he is a minister of the six ministers, would say hello when meeting each other. The man next to him, the uncle of the emperor of the dynasty, holds in his hands

When it comes to money, even the household department has to be humble to borrow money, but what about Jiang Ning?

Jiang Ning naturally knew that this was a step for him. If he refused blindly, the two of them would not force anything. But in recent days, he had also seen that the number of beggars and refugees in the city was gradually increasing. If he did not pay attention, he would naturally not

You will find that the asymmetry of information also determines that ordinary people will not care about these changes at all. There is a severe drought in Ningshan Prefecture and refugees are everywhere. Although these two people are far away from the rivers and lakes, they are still in the temple.

Before Jiang Ning could speak, Bi Chengan added: "Ningshan and Shunping prefectures, the twelve prefectures are suffering from severe drought, and the crops in the fields have been harvested. Last month, there has been a phenomenon of cannibalism. The victims of the disaster have gone south.

After passing the Qinling Mountains, Zichuan should have seen that in recent times, some disaster victims have entered Hangzhou City every day and begged along the streets. Qiao Zun and Xia Chunqiu have also received the news, but they have not taken any action yet."

"It may be because of Princess Changping's incident, or it may be because of the assassination of the left prime minister named Zheng Yiheng. It has not stopped in Hangzhou since the New Year. Now the victims of the disaster are also close at hand.

I'm afraid I don't have the shame to ask the court for help." Xia Kang said.

"Read the book first. After you say what you say and what you do, no one will mention you again after you leave the house, nor will it bring you any trouble. You can rest assured about this."

Jiang Ning just picked up the book at this moment, but the information inside really surprised him. The severe drought in the two provinces caused a more serious problem not that the people were in dire straits, but that the refugees began to group together...

In these two pieces of paper, a name appeared repeatedly, Zhang Jiexi...

Ningshan Mansion is the place where General Ning is stationed. It is also the only place where there is no prefect but only a general. General Ning's name is Ning Que. His ancestor is the general who conquered the west under Emperor Taizu. Ten years ago, the Yuan Dynasty

He and the Turks captured the six prefectures of Hebei, and it was Ning Que who led his 50,000 troops to block the front line. He was also the only army with a record of victory against the Yuan Dynasty and the Turkic Royal Court.

But Zhang Jiijie was able to bring out the refugees from Ning Que's men and broke through Ningshan Mansion's defense line north of the Qinling Mountains. Until now, very little information is known about Zhang Jixie.

This is the most terrifying thing. Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Captain Cao Cao, and Han Dynasty Liu Bei, all of them are not unknown, but later became famous figures in Qing history. If they can break through Ning Que's blockade, what will happen to the imperial troops?

In fact, the combat power is already quite strong, and what he expected will probably happen earlier.

Jiang Ning put down the book, let out a sigh of relief, stood up and handed over his hands: "Three days later..."

Recently, Wang Ruoyan got up very early, and even after Jiang Ning got up in the past two days, he found that Wang Ruoyan had already gone out. Yue Ya said that the lady was preparing for a big event, and specifically asked not to tell Jiang Ning, so that he could rest well.

A businessman who wants to expand his business will naturally have to be busy for a while. Jiang Ning ran around and practiced Bahuang Liuhe's internal skills several times, then asked Yue Ya to help. He is now Qi Yunmeng's assistant.

In fact, it doesn't matter if he doesn't go. Cheng Maoyun didn't dare to do anything to him after what happened to Princess Changping.

When Jiang Ning came back from Liuji, Xu Ning had already started the shopkeeper's business in a decent manner. Liu Sisi, apart from going to take a look every day, began to make arrangements for Ping'er's marriage in a few months. She talked with Jiang Ning about some ideas.

I tried to ask for Jiang Ning's opinion, but Jiang Ning didn't know anything about it. It was just the matchmaker's words, and it was clear that the matchmaker was marrying and buying a wedding house.

Seeing that Jiang Ning knew nothing about this, Liu Sisi had no choice but to give up. However, Heping'er had already agreed that if Liu Ji's business was good after the marriage, he would open a branch in the south of the city.

Okay, there is no need to lose Zheng Tu’s business. Together with the Liuji branch, we can increase some income and the life of the young couple can always be improved.

Back home, Jiang Ning was thinking about the refugees. Although he just wanted to live a carefree life, the wheel of history always pushes you forward, like a whip, urging you to become the person you don't want to be.

As a person, if he can make a contribution and save more lives, Jiang Ning will naturally be willing

Yes, he also wanted to see a peaceful and prosperous age, with singing and dancing, so he took three days. During these three days, he had to come up with a way, which should have been extremely difficult in ancient times, but for him in modern times, although it is not difficult

, but a decision can only be made after comparing and analyzing it with the current situation.

"What have you been busy with these two days?" Wang Ruoyan returned home. It was already late at night. He looked at the light opposite him and was still on. Sometimes he walked around, sometimes shook his head and nodded, and sometimes wrote in a hurry. After midnight, he was still

He had no intention of sleeping, so he asked Yueyue.

Yue Ya and the lady have been busy with business matters these days, but they also take care of Jiang Ning's daily life. While putting the foot washing water beside the bed, he said: "My uncle seemed to have gone to the palace yesterday. I heard that there are still other things to do."

The prince-in-law is also here, I guess they are studying something again, my uncle is concentrating on his work, I am too embarrassed to disturb him, so he returned after delivering the food."

"Really?" Wang Ruoyan smiled slightly. He had never seen Jiang Ning so busy before. The serious expression appeared in his mind. It was indeed a bit funny. After washing, he fell asleep. When Yue Yao left, he suddenly remembered

Something like: "By the way, let's buy some stinky tofu tomorrow."

Yue Ya was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Well, miss, go to bed quickly, I have to get up early tomorrow..."

After closing the door, Wang Ruoyan sat up and looked across. The oil lamp was still not extinguished. He put his hands on his chest and slowly fell asleep.

Jiang Ning looked at the latest information sent by Liu San under the oil lamp, which was about detailed refugee information and Zhang Jiexi.

Zhang Jiijie, male, 26 years old, originally from Cangzhou, Hebei Province, fled famine with his father to Tangzhou, Shunping Prefecture at the age of ten. There was a severe drought in February. His father was locked up by the wealthy gentry due to lack of food. The government accepted the order and was imprisoned. He died in prison.

On the tenth day of the second lunar month, Zhang Jiye gathered bandits and killed thirty-six wealthy gentry, led refugees to besiege the Tangzhou government office, and captured one of the three thousand defenders.

Thousands and five, five hundred died and one thousand were injured, but Zhang Jiye only used 700 people. He then went south from Tangzhou, passed through Ningshan Prefecture, fought fiercely with the Ningshan defenders, broke out, arrived at Qinling, and incorporated Qinling within ten days.

The three gangs, plus the refugees, have now reached 5,000 people. They are entrenched in the Qinling Mountains and have the intention of going south.

Following this, nearly 200,000 refugees from twelve prefectures in Ningshan and Shunping Prefecture became homeless and began to move south. Ningshan Prefecture has garrison troops with strong combat power, and they will not have a major conflict with them.

The large-scale conflict is just looting in small counties. When it reaches the Qinling Mountains, Zhang Jieqi will let it go. It is still possible to recruit some of them.

Next are Nanzhou, Yuzhou, Jiangzhou, Kezhou, Yunzhou and Hangzhou in Zhenan Prefecture. Hangzhou is the richest and most likely to become the next key target. Currently, the refugees are still in Ningshan Prefecture.

The government has strengthened the security between the two governments, but compared with the 200,000 refugees, it is obviously dwarfed.

The most important thing now is how to appease these 200,000 refugees...

As long as these 200,000 people are digested by Zhenan Prefecture and Ningshan Prefecture, the 5,000 bandits will also be a turtle in the urn under the leadership of Zhang Jicheng. As long as the two prefectures are reasonable, their annihilation will be a matter of time. The variable lies in these 20 people.
