Besides, a while after Li Mengxi punished the unruly woman with his stick, Liu Bei came in a hurry for some unknown reason.

Liu Bei was probably killing a chicken, scalding the chicken feathers with hot water, and came in with the chicken feathers still on his hands.

Well, Liu Bei was afraid that Li Mengxi would be here alone to take care of him, and that if something happened he would not be able to suppress it, so he specially sent a private soldier to keep an eye on him. If anything happened, he would call him immediately.

The soldiers were very competent. They just stared at Li Mengxi and never left. Wherever Li Mengxi went for a walk, the soldiers followed him.

Therefore, when Li Mengxi called for the peasant woman to be caught and beaten up, the soldier immediately remembered Liu Bei's words.

Then he hurriedly ran back to the manor to find Liu Xuande.

Liu Xuande came over in a hurry because of this.

When Liu Bei saw Li Mengxi patrolling the road, he took Li Mengxi to a less crowded area and asked, "Xi'er, did you hit someone just now?" Liu Bei asked.

Liu Bei obviously did not mean to blame Li Mengxi for bullying others. Li Mengxi would not have acted like this.

What Liu Bei meant was that he wanted to ask Li Mengxi why he punished others.

Li Mengxi told the story one by one about the harsh and harsh mother who refused to let her daughter eat.

Li Mengxi said, a little angry, "Think about it, Mr. Xuande, we brought out so much food just to prevent anyone from starving to death, but we clearly divided the porridge according to head because the cunning woman scolded his daughter, and then the girl

My son is starving to death.

When others looked at it, they didn’t know the truth and thought that we starved people to death because they voted for our rebel army, and that our army had to bear the infamy in vain. It’s simply unreasonable!”

After listening to Li Mengxi's words, Liu Bei was silent for a long time. "Alas!" Liu Bei could only sigh in the end.

The first point of conflict between the three views of Liu Bei and Li Mengxi appeared.

In the Han Dynasty, when respect and inferiority were greater than heaven, children were more like appendages to their parents, without any personal dignity at all.

It is natural for parents to beat and scold their children, and many people still think it is natural for parents to scold their children harshly. As for abusing children, denying them food, and wanting to starve them to death, others think it is wrong, but they just think it is wrong.

But on the other hand, in the Han Dynasty, children no longer complained about abusing their parents. Even if they criticized the parents who were not good things, they might be sent to the government by the parents who were not good things.

Then the government executed people indiscriminately.

And if parents starve to death, throw away, cripple, or sell their children, no one will care.

Liu Bei was an ancient man, and his three views were the same as those of the ancients. Therefore, when Li Mengxi said that the naughty woman would not give the girl porridge, Li Mengxi beat her up. Liu Bei didn't know what to say, so he just sighed.

There is only one thing: Li Mengxi may have done the right thing, and it seems that he did the right thing.

Liu Beineng believed Li Mengxi's words that the Han Dynasty was about to perish, but now that he was here, with his father and his son, he did not dare to question the illusory but ubiquitous moral shackles of the feudal era.

As a parent, if there is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, there is really nothing you can do about it and your child in the family will starve to death, which is understandable. Now, the porridge is clearly distributed according to the head, and the mother is going to snatch the porridge from the child and not let him drink it.

This makes no sense, this is obviously wrong!

Li Mengxi unwaveringly believed that this was wrong, but Liu Bei did not dare to question it any more.

It was nothing serious. The chicken had been slaughtered and its feathers had not yet been plucked. Liu Bei went back again.

Afterwards, the porridge sharing continued.

Most of the refugees were discussing the incident where Li Mengxi punished the cunning woman with a stick.

"What's going on over there? Did Jiang Cai (meaning just now) hit someone?" A refugee in yellow turban looked around and asked others.

The homeless man next to him pursed his lips and said, "What? People gave her food, but the girl didn't let her Ni'er eat. Three bowls, right? She drank two bowls herself, and Yue didn't let her Ni'er drink. When people saw it, they beat her.

Give her a break."

After hearing this, others were stunned and said, "Don't hit her!"

It turns out that this is what happened, and most of the Yellow Turban refugees now know why they beat people at that time.

It turned out that it was the stepmother who refused to let Nier eat, so they arrested her and beat her.

This gave two signals to the frightened refugees. One was that the rebels were not trying to capture people and behead them, nor were they trying to deceive people into beheading people to receive rewards. The other was that it was a reminder to the refugees that if someone were to

Regardless of the child's life and death, he will not be allowed to eat, and if he encounters him, he will inevitably be punished.

This is a silent deterrent.

After that, there are no big problems.

Among them, something more interesting happened.

Because the new porridge sharing order is to divide the porridge according to the head, the porridge for the children is the same as the porridge for the adults, both are one portion.

Then, there are some clever people who "rent" their own children, especially babies wrapped in swaddling clothes, which can be transformed into babies by wrapping them in any rags.

The specific operation was that the refugees in front holding the dolls after receiving the porridge used various methods, either while the villagers did not see it, or pretended to call the people behind, and quickly gave the dolls to the people behind who had not yet received the porridge.

people.

In this way, those who did not bring a doll borrowed the doll and received an extra helping of porridge.

Then, he divided the extra bowl of porridge into half and half.

Li Mengxi had not noticed this operation of the refugees at first, but when he heard a child, about one year old, who had just learned to speak, crying and calling for his mother, Li Mengxi thought he was some stupid child kidnapping, so he kept a close eye on it.

After looking at it twice, I noticed that the refugees were using their children to get more porridge.

It seems that a smart person can do well anywhere. How smart he is. He has deceived many porridges and talents. Li Mengxi's expression is simply fucked.

I wanted to go over there and expose him, catch him and beat him up.

But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. I injured someone with just a few spoonfuls of porridge and got over it.

At this moment, Li Mengxi's magical brain circuit went to the refugees. Even though he was a member of the rebel army, all the food belonged to him.

Li Mengxi thought, if he was very hungry with his younger brother, if there was a way to get him some food, without hurting others, we could cheat and get more food, why not?

——

The food, shelter, and other things currently prepared for the thousands of refugees should be enough to satisfy them for the time being.

Seeing that only the tail of the refugee team was left, Li Mengxi decided to make the next step.

Those refugees who shared the porridge and drank the porridge, after eating the food, no matter how many days they have been hungry or how long they have been thirsty, eating a bowl of porridge can relieve their breath.

The refugees who had received the porridge were separated by men and women in a place away from the porridge shed. Then, according to the number of people, they were divided into teams of thirty people. Each team was watched by two village warriors. Thirty people were divided into groups.

.

Li Mengxi went over and said to the centurion who had already told him, "Okay, let's lead the people over, don't go into deep water, and come back after washing."

The centurion took the order and took the people away.

This was another important issue in the recruitment work. Li Mengxi felt that the refugees were too dirty, like beggars. He couldn't bear to look at the refugees with their gray faces and grass on their heads.
