Fu Tinghan said: "Some children firmly say that they have no father or mother, and there is no adult to take them with them. Even if I know it, I can't expose it. Anyway, you plan to take them to Nanyang Kingdom first. Then you will arrange for them properly and have relief food.
Now that they have land, they can survive, so naturally they don’t want to be separated from their flesh and blood.”
If no one comes to recognize them after reaching that point, then it would be best for them to take these children away, right?
Zhao Hanzhang thought for a moment and nodded, "That's fine."
If these children don't have the care and sympathy of adults and live outside, it will be difficult for them to survive. Even if they can survive, their lives will be very difficult. It is better to put them in the Yushan Hall.
With so many children, they will become her labor force in a few years. If she can cultivate one or two talents among them, she will make a lot of money.
Zhao Hanzhang agreed to Fu Tinghan's proposal.
With the food donated by Zhu Chuan, Zhao Hanzhang could do more. She directly asked Fan Ying to take over the supplies donated by Zhu Chuan.
Zhu Chuan couldn't help but frown when he saw that she did not give food to the people, but instead handed over to him first and took over completely.
Zhao Hanzhang was indeed cautious and domineering, and acted very methodically.
Fan Ying moved quickly. Even without Fu Tinghan, it was not difficult for her to count the points. She quickly counted the supplies. She came to Zhao Hanzhang with her notebook: "In addition to the three carts of valuables and the goods of the accompanying vendors,
The princes donated a total of twenty carts of grain and ten carts of cloth, among which the cloths were mainly fine linen and fine cotton."
Zhao Hanzhang nodded to express his understanding. His intention was to do business, so naturally he would bring fine linen and fine cotton with higher value, and he would never bring coarse linen.
Zhao Hanzhang glanced around at the shivering refugees who were naked, and said to Fan Ying: "Take people down to count the people who know how to cut and sew clothes and shoes and socks. Leave all the fine cotton and fine linen and send them out to make clothes and shoes and socks for them."
.”
Fan Ying agreed, turned around and left.
Zhao Hanzhang walked up to the refugees who were squatting obediently. Hearing the vague sounds of children in the crowd crying out for hunger, he clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention and then said: "Now, people you know well are sitting together.
Ten people have one tithe, and ten tithes form a team, and children, women, and old people all count.”
Everyone looked blank, but people who knew each other knew that everyone started moving around immediately, and soon they were crowded together. They couldn't tell big numbers, but some people could still count to ten.
In addition, the soldiers also came in to help, dragging the extra people to the side and forming them into another group. Then they selected the elders or those with more honest faces to be the leader, and ten leaders formed a team.
After a while, the four team leaders and their chiefs stood in front of Zhao Hanzhang, crowded together.
Zhao Hanzhang scanned around and found that it was very interesting. Except for a few people who were obviously from the same family, people of the same race, village or hometown were crowded together, the rest of the combinations were very interesting.
Small children cuddle with older children, women cuddle with women, women cuddle with children, women cuddle with the elderly with their children.
Zhao Hanzhang glanced over and knew something in her heart. She waved to the eldest child who represented the elders and said to them: "You will lead your people to collect some firewood in the nearby forest. We will make a fire for cooking later."
The children's eyes lit up.
He called a few more children and said, "Just keep these few dollars to light the fire."
Several children happily agreed and ran back to call their friends and team members to come out and stand aside.
Zhao Hanzhang assigned them one by one to break branches and leaves from trees, and to move stones and earth to build stoves. These are all the tasks of adult men.
Women and the elderly were arranged to go to the water source with containers to fetch water.
Only the caravans had wooden barrels, and most people still used the bowls, urns, and jars they carried with them to fetch water.
Fu Tinghan calculated the heads and the food they would need to consume for this meal.
Zhao Hanzhang asked Fan Ying to lead the soldiers to weigh out the grain.
The small traders who relied on the caravan for protection became hesitant when they saw this, and gathered together to discuss secretly, "Should we also donate some?"
At that moment, someone said with a sad face: "The cloth I brought has been stepped on several times. If I donate it again, I will really go back empty-handed this time."
"But this is the governor, such a big official, and we didn't show any sign at all. I'm worried. Haven't I seen that all the young masters have donated most of their wealth?"
"Otherwise, I think the three cars left behind by the young masters are the most valuable."
"Then they also used thirty cars of supplies to protect themselves. We can't just go out at all, right?"
Although Governor Zhao didn't look like that, he was still afraid that she would treat them as bandits and kill them.
As soon as these words came out, everyone hesitated and couldn't help but discuss in a low voice. In the end, you pushed me and I pushed you to go to Zhao Hanzhang and expressed that they were also willing to donate a batch of materials.
Zhao Hanzhang looked at them in surprise, then looked at their luggage and asked with a smile: "Are you rich in wealth?"
Several people swallowed their saliva. They didn't dare to say it wasn't generous, let alone rich, so they said: "It's okay..."
"That's just average," Zhao Hanzhang sighed and said, "Although everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country, Hanzhang still has some energy left now. Your family resources are average, how can I ask you to donate materials that are so exhausting?"
She said: "You all should take it back. Take good care of your own family now. If you can sell some food, cloth, cattle and sheep to the north of Yuzhou in the future, you will have done a lot for my Yuzhou."
A good contribution.”
Several people opened their mouths wide, not expecting that Zhao Hanzhang would not accept it, and it looked like... he didn't look like he was lying.
Zhao Hanzhang had already nodded to them, walked towards Zhu Chuan, and asked with a smile: "Young masters, I am going to Nanyang Kingdom tomorrow. I wonder if you can go with me?"
Zhu Chuan did not want to enter the Nanyang Kingdom. He came from Nanyang. There was still chaos there. Looking at Zhao Hanzhang's menacing appearance, he was obviously rushing to kill people.
He wanted to sell Zhao Hanzhang a good deal and invest in the new governor of Yuzhou, but he didn't want to get involved too deeply.
His roots were still in Shu, and he was a demon here in Yuzhou. He didn't know how he died, so he had better go to Xiping, which is now stable, rich and rich.
So Zhu Chuan said with a regretful expression: "I also want to experience the beauty of Nanyang Kingdom, but my men suffered many casualties, especially those who were injured. They need to be sent to medical treatment quickly, so I decided to go to Runan County."
When Zhao Hanzhang heard this, he didn't force it. He just pointed to the small vendors not far away and said: "These people were frightened for nothing. It is Hanzhang's fault. Please take care of them."
Zhu Zhu said: "They all paid money to lead the way when they joined my caravan. Governor Zhao can rest assured that I will bring them all safely to Xiping."
Zhao Hanzhang nodded with a smile, "Go, go. After seeing the prosperity of Xiping, you will have confidence in making money, and you will come here more often in the future."
