The smoke is not in the village, but outside the village, thousands of refugees are orderly and orderly. Behind the stove, about fifty young men stand silently with spears in their hands.
After Dou Gui looked at it for a moment, he frowned and asked, "Only a few dozen young men and women are there to guard you?"
"Mr. Dou, please take a look." Li Shan said softly: "The young and strong refugees are going to work, in a team of fifty people, led by two young and strong people from the village."
After a pause, Li Shan explained softly, "If the refugees make trouble, there will be secret communication. There are young people in the village, and without secret communication, it will be difficult to cause chaos."
Dou Gui sneered and shook his head, "There is no guarantee."
Li Qianyou on the side smiled and said, "Whatever arrangement you have, I'll tell you everything."
"The young and strong refugees go to work every day and are quite tired. They have three meals a day, but in fact they only have breakfast and lunch." Li Shan said softly: "In the evening, they only have porridge and rice to satisfy their hunger."
The meaning of this sentence is very obvious. Refugees who are young and strong cannot work if they don’t have enough to eat. But they can work if they eat enough during the day. If they don’t eat enough at night and are tired, they will inevitably fall asleep early, which is very important. To a certain extent, the possible threat posed by young refugees to Zhujiagou has been reduced.
"Fifty refugees form a team, and two people are selected every day to receive a bowl of meat."
"Be careful about making noise at night. If there is a disturbance, you will be kicked out immediately."
Li Shan's slow and leisurely narration, each one is very targeted and each one has something to say.
Dou Gui chuckled and said: "You can see the big from the small, and you are worthy of King Qin's praise."
"But it should be more than that. Let's talk about it."
Li Shan hesitated for a moment, coughed twice, and said, "The village elder is kind and kind, allowing refugees to stay outside the village, and even accepting children into the village."
Dou Gui was startled and turned to look at Li Qianyou. Their eyes met and they both understood immediately.
The refugees all fled from Hedong and Guannai Road. These days, the government rarely provides disaster relief. Even if the aristocratic families provide disaster relief, they only do what they can. And these refugees have always taken their children with them and will never leave them. Naturally, they take it very seriously.
Li Shan sent those children into the village. At best, he was showing kindness; at worst, he was holding them hostage.
Li Qianyou didn't care about this, but he valued Li Shan's young age, handling things properly and thoughtfulness.
Dou Gui greatly appreciated Li Shan's move and asked with a smile: "With such kindness, it's no wonder that an eminent monk settled in Dongshan Temple."
Li Shan narrowed his eyes and replied: "Bodhisattvas have the virtue of living well, but if they encounter evil, they will also resort to thunderbolt methods."
In fact, it was very easy to manage these refugees. Li Shan established good rules and went through the process with his entourage on the first day. By the fourth day, he basically ignored them.
On the one hand, the refugees are causing trouble, mainly led by bandits, and the refugees themselves are just looking for a living.
On the other hand, Li Shan killed chickens to scare monkeys, and those refugees were one of those monkeys. Thirty-six of the ninety-two bandits died, and the rest were killed regardless of their injuries.
Those who dug the pits, those who moved the corpses, and those who buried the soil were all refugees, and they had been trembling for a long time.
Watching Dou Gui and Li Qianyou leave, Li Shan silently lowered his head and paced back and forth among the grass. He clearly felt Li Qianyou's kindness towards him, but why?
In terms of close relationship, Li Kai is closer to himself, and Li Zhaode still doesn’t know his identity.
Li Qianyou was under the command of the King of Qi. He had close contacts with the children of the Prince of Qin, and was highly praised by Li Shimin.
Touching his nose, Li Shan smiled bitterly and shook his head. No matter what, he had to pass the Chang'an County Government Office.
Zhu Wei also went to inquire in the past two days, and Zhu Ba also met with Wu Zhong yesterday. He did not hear about Li Dewu's appointment as Chang'an County Captain, but he did find out that there was indeed a vacancy in the Chang'an County Government.
If it is really Li Dewu who is appointed as the captain of Chang'an County, then if he wants to take the imperial examination and become an official, the line with Li Qianyou cannot be broken.
After returning home with a lot of worries, Li Shan was still thinking hard, and the coquettish scolding sounded in the room.
"Huh?" Li Shan frowned and looked at Xiaoman, who was scolding two eight or nine-year-old girls with his hands on his hips.
"Mr. Lang is back." Xiaoman stepped forward to help Li Shan undress, and said, "My hands and feet are rough, and I just dropped the inkstone."
Li Shan didn't say anything and glanced at the two little girls. They were wearing coarse clothes, with shrinking expressions, tears stains on their faces, and slightly yellow hair. They looked very thin, but they had pretty features.
Refugees outside the village brought more than two hundred children, many of whom were orphans. Zhu Wei specially selected four of them to serve today. Li Shan really didn't want them... but etiquette came first, and the elder did not dare to refuse the gift. ah.
"How was it arranged?"
"One of them is literate and is placed in the study room."
"Are there any literate people?" Li Shan was a little surprised. A literate woman in this era could not come from a poor family.
"She was born in Fenzhou, Hedong Road, when she was fourteen years old. The Turks broke up her family, and her mother fled south with her and her youngest son." Xiaoman said angrily: "The seventh uncle didn't pick her, he jumped out on his own. "
Li Shan glanced at Xiaoman, who was quite aware of the crisis. Can he change it to cheese tonight?
"Didn't you pick four?"
"The other three... are not as high as the stove, so they can't go to the cooking room."
"Then you can take care of it." Li Shan was too lazy to take care of such trivial matters, "Place the food."
Not long after, two servant women came in with various dishes, and the servant also went to invite Zhou Zhao.
Zhou Zhao, regardless of others, is indeed talented and knowledgeable, and has the ability to govern. Li Shan set the rules, and Zhou Chao checked for omissions and provided guidance to the villagers. It was also very hard these days.
Of course, his mouth still looked like a bird. As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Zhao frowned, "Qian Shiguan taught scriptures in a certain month. You have been so tired these past few days and you don't have any wine?"
Li Shan raised his chin at the table with an expressionless face and said simply and clearly: "There is braised pork."
Zhou Zhao's face suddenly turned pale. He glanced at it and turned away. He endured it again and again, but still made a sound of vomiting...
That day when bandits attacked, Li Shan casually said that Lao Fan actually stuffed a pot of pork into Zhou Zhao's mouth.
Then... then Zhou Zhao finally recovered and went out and saw the young man in the village killing prisoners, vomiting all over the place.
At this moment, Chang'an's order Li Qianyou had returned to the county government office. He got off his horse and entered the door. A middle-aged man walked out quickly and saluted: "Meet Shangguan."
"Are you Li Dewu, Prime Minister Pei's son-in-law?" Li Qianyou nodded and smiled: "The post of county captain has been vacant for two months. Since it has been filled, I should do my best."
"The superior officer presides over it, and the subordinates will obey." Li Dewu bowed respectfully again and praised his virtues. He is a sensible person. The Danyang House of the Li family in Longxi, even in the previous dynasty, was a family that he could not reach.
Li Qianyou had something on his mind, so he sent the person away with just a few greetings and went into the backyard, "Da Lang, have you not been to Zhujiagou these days?"
Li Zhaode has been helping out in the county government these days, which is one of the reasons why most of the children of aristocratic families can make a difference after becoming officials. After hearing this, he wondered: "My father is busy these days, how can my child have free time?"
Seeing that Li Qianyou remained silent, Li Zhaode thought for a moment, "I went there several times before the refugees started to cause trouble outside the city, sometimes with Brother Seven, sometimes with Brother Xiaoqing, but then..."
Later, Li Shan had a fierce fight with the disciples of Prince Qin's Palace. Li Kai didn't care, but Li Zhaode was a descendant of Prince Qi's Palace after all, so it was naturally difficult for them to get together.
After Li Qianyou was silent for a moment, he whispered, "It's your birthday in five days, so you should invite your friends to get together."
As has always been the case today, birthdays naturally involve inviting friends to a party, but Li Qianyou specifically mentioned it, and Li Zhaode certainly knew it was referring to Li Shan.
After thinking for a while, Li Zhaode bowed in response and added: "Father, please give me some instructions."
