In the city of Zhuo County, the capital of Youzhou, the new garrison Chai Shao is worried about something!

This year, there was a severe drought in the northern part, and the entire Youzhou and Hebei Road were disaster areas. A few days ago, refugees had already emerged on the west side of Youzhou. Fortunately, the local Cui family agreed to the court to open a warehouse and release grain!

Now ten days have passed, Cui’s release of grain has ended, and the food and grass in the court has arrived. Chai Shao should not be in a hurry, but it is precisely because of this that Chai Shao is a little worried!

Various grain transport teams have been sent to various places for disaster relief, but the bad things are here. The disaster relief convoy was fine when he went there, and it went very smoothly. The local people welcomed him!

But when the convoy came back, the people refused to let them go, saying what should we eat if we left the convoy?

In the end, a big joke happened. When the convoy came back, people from all over the country also followed the convoy. The meaning was very obvious. At least they would not starve to death with the grain transport convoy!

Although the grain transport officer has already clearly told them that the grain is coming in a steady stream and will be delivered every few days, the refugees don’t believe it. Where did the imperial court come from in this disaster year? I haven’t heard of it before!

Since the court said that, it means that the prefecture has food, and everyone will block the prefecture and guard the prefecture's large granary, at least it is better than starving to death at home!

So I don’t know whether it was intentional or coincidental. When the people from all over the country saw the refugees fleeing, those who could not survive joined one after another. The team became larger and larger. In three days, several big cities on Hebei Road were surrounded by refugees. They didn’t make trouble, just waiting for the meal to be sent to the government to eat!

In this way, the incident of refugees gathering in various places once again shocked Li Er!

Haven’t you just comforted the refugees? The warehouses and grains have been opened. Why did the refugees not only not decrease after ten days, but gather more and more? And there are also warlike smoke everywhere, and as long as the big cities are surrounded by refugees? Could anyone interfere?

For this matter, Li Er immediately sent a confidant elite messenger to investigate, but the answer he got made Li Er laugh and cry!

There are many elderly people who have been through troubled times among the people. No one has ever seen anything, drought, locust plague, war, plague, and plague. As long as you are over thirty years old, you have basically experienced these kinds of suffering!

The Tang Dynasty was established for just ten years, and there were five more years of wars in the world. Before the Tang Dynasty was established, there were disputes at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and wars continued for years. At that time, everything was robbed by fighting. During the ten years of war, there were countless natural disasters and man-made disasters. Who cares about the people? Who cares about the natural disasters?

The harvest is not good when the natural disaster comes. As long as it is not under your own rule, and the people who die in their own territory will be controlled by the rebellion?

If something happens to your own territory, then good, in order to survive, we can fight and rob, and there is no need to worry about it, it is nothing more than a matter of victory or defeat!

So no matter what, the sufferings are the people suffering from the disaster!

When natural disasters encounter war, whoever cares about the lives of the people, sells children and eats children, etc. As long as they can survive, basically anyone will do it!

Even during the natural disaster, there was no war, and the court faced great disasters, either worshipped the heavens, or opened warehouses and released grain in various places!

However, the food is also very limited, and the imperial court could not hold on after a few days. In the end, everyone still had to escape from the disaster-stricken hometown, escape to a place with food, water, and abundant harvests, and survive the disaster-season before returning home. This is the consensus view and view of the elderly!

This year is good. Who has ever seen a great disaster year? The court sent food to the village so that every household could survive the disaster by staying at home? No one believed it. Instead of believing such an absurd and ridiculous lie, it would be better to escape early while there is still food!

So big cities in various places were surrounded. Li Shimin's desk was filled with memorials discussing the matter for the first three days!

In Li Shimin's opinion, this matter is good and not good. The bad thing is that the people do not trust the Tang Dynasty court yet!

The good thing is that the people did not completely disbelief, at least they were still trying to believe it, otherwise they would not have fled around the big city, but fled south together!

Li Shimin had no worries about this matter, just like this, the people like to be closer to the city! Anyway, food is allocated everywhere! Of course, if all the people around him gathered together, it would save the trouble of transporting food!

But the emperor thought so, and the officials surrounded by local officials did not think so. So many people gathered together and they had to care about their fullness every day. As the saying goes, there is nothing wrong, what if these people gathered together and made trouble?

There are more and more people. What if someone gets sick and eventually gets plague? So, after receiving the emperor's order, an experienced official wrote this again! For example, Chai Shao!

Just when Chai Shao was worried about this, the servant came to report that there were students from Zhongnan Academy asking for a visit!

When the visitor appeared in the city lord's mansion, Chai Shao was stunned!

Isn't this your own son?

It turned out that these two people were the Chai brothers, Chai Zhewei and Chai Lingwu who were sent to Youzhou by Bai Fan!

The two were originally responsible for teaching the use and maintenance of water pressing wells in various places in Youzhou, and followed the court to pay attention to the disaster and help the people!

Now that the disaster has come, there is no need to do anything about digging wells, only the only thing left to comfort the people!

But the people were all old people who had experienced disasters and could not listen to the court's remarks. In the end, the two of them could not stop the refugees from gathering, so they could only come to the prefecture!

Since the two entered school, they rarely saw their father. Their mother passed away early, and their father wanted to lead troops to fight again. The father and son were together for a long time. The last time they met was during the New Year. Later, Youzhou was pacified and Chai Shao was sent out. The two children had not seen their father for more than half a year!

Chai Zhewei is fifteen years old, and Chai Lingwu is only ten years old!

After two months of experience, the two of them lost their scholarly aura and became much more mature and capable. Even Chai Lingwu, who was only ten years old, had the mature temperament of an unusual child!

When Chai Shaochu met at the first time, he almost recognized him. Are these two really their two playboys?

"Greetings to my father!"

The two of them immediately knelt down and kowtowed to their father!

Chai Shao came to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to pull up his two sons, looked around and looked again and again, and was full of joy after reading!

"Okay, okay! Zhongnan Academy is indeed a treasure land for nurturing talents. Mr. Bai is indeed awesome. After a long time of not seeing you, you will almost be able to recognize your father!

At this time, you are no longer the original Chang'an playboy. You can see that you have grown up! Not bad, it is my Chai family’s seed!

I heard that the court sent you out for two months to practice, so I will tell you about the gains from my father!”

The three of them sat down, and Chai Zhewei said, "At first, Master sent us out, saying that we were defending China and going to the national crisis together. However, after two months, the child knew what suffering was and how difficult it was for the people to survive. He felt quite shameful about our past life in Chang'an!

Even my second brother won’t be too playful now. When he sees people in trouble, he will take the initiative to help. In the past two months, he has met many children of the same age. When he has nothing to do, he will take the initiative to teach them to read!

I think this is the true intention of Master sending us out. It is not to count on how big we do, but to let us see ordinary life and cherish everything that is hard to come by!"

Chai Shao nodded and said, "Yes, you can put down your figure and integrate into the people, instead of looking down on the suffering people. I am very pleased with my father. After all, you are the talents and heroes of my Tang Dynasty, and you are no longer the dandy you used to be! Very good!"

Chai Lingwu said, "This is how we usually get along with people in the academy. We do everything ourselves. When we meet the elderly, we have to salute and greet them. When we meet the children, we have to take care of each other. The master said that there is only an age gap between people, no matter what we do. The people outside are like grandpas in the academy and aunt who cooks!"

Chai Zhewei also said, "Yes, we are used to this in the academy. If we ask the child to scold and instruct others, the child can no longer do it! It always feels very bad! It's very awkward!

In the academy, the master never asked for a servant and maid. He did everything himself, but the child felt that the master was the most carefree person in the world! The child was very envious!"

Seeing that even his youngest son could think and do this, Chai Shao was completely convinced. Zhongnan Academy, just for this matter, he would be the best in the world!

"Father, the child is here to solve the difficulties for his father. It is not a solution to gather refugees outside the city like this. They must ensure their safety!"

"Oh? Do you have a way? Tell me quickly!"
