Chapter 110 Two Gardens(1/2)
Shao Xun first returned to his manor.
"Mr. Lang."
"General Chen."
Tang Jian was leading the guests to manage the refugees outside the gate. When he saw a large group of cavalry coming, he saw it clearly and immediately stepped forward to salute.
General Chen? Shao Xun glanced at Chen Yougen.
Chen Yougen was a little embarrassed and muttered: "Lang Jun, they are just calling you for fun..."
"Mr. Lang."
"General."
"Shao Gong."
When he heard the last title, Shao Xun felt a little ridiculous.
He was only eighteen years old, yet someone called him "Shao Gong"? After a closer look, his appearance was somewhat similar to Chen Yougen's.
"What is this?" Shao Xun asked.
"Reporting to Sir, this is my eldest brother Chen Jingen. He has been farming in Yuzhou before. Recently, he brought dozens of villagers to Luoyang to beg for food. Shao Dianji has agreed." Chen Yougen said.
"Shao Dian Ji" refers to Shao Xun's third brother, Shao Fan, who followed Pei Jin and learned to manage the manor. Shao Xun once said that when Shao Yuan had to deal with matters, they discussed it. Unexpectedly, after many days, here
Many new people came to join us.
In fact, this is normal.
As the saying goes, if a person achieves enlightenment, a chicken or a dog ascends to heaven, when Shao Xun becomes an official, not only his relatives will come to seek refuge, but also his close relatives and close relatives will come to seek refuge. Even the slaves will introduce people they know to be slaves...
"Since we're here, let's arrange it in the manor." Shao Xun nodded, then looked at the piles of tents set up not far away and said, "Go over and have a look."
Chen Yougen was about to say that his two brothers were also coming, but he had to shut up and follow quickly.
Wang Queer was faster than him, leading dozens of people to clear the way.
There are rice cookers piled outside the tent, and they are cooking corn porridge.
Shao Xun looked at it carefully and saw that it was okay. He wasn't full, but he wasn't hungry either.
"Add some fish soup to the army." Shao Xun pointed his riding whip at the westernmost tent and said.
There were more than a hundred women sitting there, some with babies, who had fled all the way and were reluctant to abandon them.
The baby was so hungry that he cried loudly, and the woman was eager to feed her, but there was no milk left, so she could only cry secretly.
In the end, someone was kind-hearted and took the child over, undressed him and fed him.
"No." Pei Jin came in a hurry and immediately sent someone to handle it.
Last year, more than half of the fish in the pond were caught.
When Zhang Fang attacked Luoyang, he spent most of his time in the north of the city and didn't come to the west of the city much, so the manor was barely preserved. This may also have something to do with the fact that this place is slightly far away from Luoyang.
If we catch it again, the pond fish may become extinct.
"Please add more porridge and rice." Shao Xun said again.
"No." Pei Jin went back in person to give the order.
Shao Xun was just about to say something more, but he saw that Pei Jin had already run away far away, so he gave up.
Is he afraid that I will go bankrupt and cause him to lose his job?
Shao Xun sighed, his money was indeed a little tight, and his appetite was still too big.
He walked leisurely.
When people in the tent saw him, they came out to thank him.
"Where did you come from?" Shao Xun asked, looking at the frightened and undecided faces.
Everyone looked at me and others, and finally recommended a man who had been in his forties for a year to come forward.
"Greetings to Mr. Lang." The man said: "We are all from Taiyuan, working hard in the countryside. Suddenly we heard that the captives were coming, burning, killing and looting. In panic, our family went south, begging all the way, and finally arrived in Luoyang."
"Have all the fugitives come to Luoyang, or have some of them gone to other places?"
"It was a hard journey. Some people stayed, some continued, and others joined us along the way. As far as I know, not many people came to Luoyang."
"I see." Shao Xun said, "Now that you are here, would you like to settle down?"
The man was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "I'll tell you the truth. The head of the family who is the guest of Taiyuan felt that he couldn't stay any longer, so he led the crowd south. After all, Luoyang is at the feet of the emperor, and it may be a little more stable."
Shao Xun secretly thought, you are wrong about this.
Before this year, Luoyang was a place where fighting was very frequent. After Sima Lun, Sima Jiong, Sima Yi, and then Sima Ying were killed, the place was finally settled.
"Why are you still willing to come here since you have a master? Do you know that since you have surrendered to me, you will be a guest, but it will not be easy." Shao Xun asked.
"I will not deceive you. If my master was still here, I would never come here." The man said, "Unfortunately, I have died of illness in Hanoi. I am homeless, so I would like to join you."
"Do they all have general ideas?" Shao Xun asked, pointing to the hundreds of people behind him.
"Exactly."
"I want you to go to Yiyang instead of Luoyang. How about that?"
"A person who has lost his home has no choice but to make a wish."
"Okay, once I've said it, it's hard to catch up with me, so I've decided to set off in two days." Shao Xun said, "Tang Jian."
"I'm here." Tang Jian responded loudly.
"How many guests are there today?"
"Twenty-three people."
"Two days later, I will ask Sun He to lead a group of people. You and the guests from Shaoyuan will escort the guests from Taiyuan to Yunzhongwu."
"promise."
"By the way, how many refugees are there here?"
"Two hundred and thirty-two households, nine hundred and twelve people."
"Okay, send them all over." Shao Xun said without hesitation.
Pei Jin and Shao Fan are jointly responsible for recruiting refugees, and Tang Jian only assists in the management. Shaoyuan will continue to send people out to collect people, and after bringing them back, they will be raised and sent to Yiyang.
Register.
Fortunately, the student soldiers are all literate, and some can also do arithmetic. They may not be very good at management, but at least they have management.
In troubled times, talent is most valuable.
The first batch of Donghai student soldiers studied for more than two years and finally put it to use.
The second batch of Luoyang student soldiers has been studying for less than a year and has to continue.
In addition, we can recruit the third batch this year.
From a rough analysis of the current situation, it can be concluded that Luoyang will usher in a rare period of peace.
It's hard to say how long this period of peace will last. At least there will be no war this year. It remains to be seen what will happen next year. No one can guarantee it.
The period of peace is precious, and if you don't make good use of it, you will have to pay the price in the future.
After leaving Shaoyuan, Shao Xun ran as fast as lightning from the west to the east of the city, and stopped his horse outside Panyuan.
Another Dianji came out of the manor, named Pei Gong, followed by his eldest nephew Shao Shen.
"Mr. Lang."
"Second uncle."
The two of them saluted one after another.
After Shao Xun returned the gift, he felt a little uncomfortable.
There are Pei family members everywhere. Can I still live without your Pei family?
Forget it, stop complaining, I will have to go to Concubine Pei to borrow money later...
"How many people have been taken in?" Shao Xun looked at Pan Yuan, who was once very familiar with him, and sighed with emotion.
There are no traces of the war here anymore, only the two guard towers originally built still clearly told him that he had fought here.
"One hundred and ten households, 451 people, mostly from Taiyuan, and a few from Xihe and Pingyang." Pei Gong replied.
Fourteen-year-old Shao Shen wanted to answer, but couldn't, so he scratched his head anxiously.
"How many days have you been raising it?"
"Today is the fourth day."
"Two days later, you summon the bankers and send them all to Shaoyuan and hand them over to Tang Jian and Sun He."
"promise."
Shao Xun pulled his nephew over and asked, "Have you been studying hard recently?"
To be continued...
