Chapter 61 Relief for refugees! Yellow Turban believers!
This is a city with a population of more than 100,000.
This was established under the leadership of the Yun family and combined with several families.
It was originally just a transit point for traveling caravans to stop.
Later, in order to resist the plundering of bandits, fortifications began to be built, and later expanded into a small town, and then became today's Cloud City!
Although Yuncheng is not a county seat, it is located on the main commercial road connecting Saibei.
Generally, caravans heading outside the Great Wall or returning will stay here for a period of time.
There are even some merchants from outside the Great Wall who transport some goods here for trading.
Therefore, the business here is very developed and has created many rich people.
Of course, there is a gap between rich and poor everywhere.
Even Yuncheng is no exception.
When entering the city, Qin Yuan saw some refugees with ragged clothes and pale faces.
In this world, refugees are not common.
However, there are very few cities that have access to refugee groups.
In general, local officials are very repulsive towards refugees in order to ensure regional stability and financial problems.
After all, refugees themselves are a problem, and you must provide them with a certain amount of shelter and food.
And once food and clothing cannot be guaranteed, refugees will cause trouble.
Qin Yuan looked at not far away, a dozen refugees formed a group, all walking in a certain direction after entering the city.
After thinking about it, Qin Yuan followed.
As we walked through the streets, there were fewer and fewer luxurious mansions around us, instead they turned into rows of bungalows.
Qin Yuan even saw many refugees gathering in the alleyway.
As they went deeper, they saw a large group of refugees gathered together, all remaining silent, with almost no one speaking.
But they were lined up in several queues in a very orderly manner, and there were about hundreds of people.
Holding the broken bowl in his hand, he seemed to be waiting for something.
"It's time to eat!"
With a soft drink, all the refugees cheered, and it suddenly became lively.
A large number of naked refugees poured out of the surrounding houses and streets, and the number of people gathered suddenly exceeded a thousand.
Qin Yuan looked forward and saw dozens of strong men with their hands tied with yellow cloth, each four carrying a large wooden barrel that was taller than a person.
A hot aroma of rice wafted over.
Then, these strong men began to distribute rice porridge to the refugees.
Qin Yuan looked surprised, "I didn't expect that the Yun family would actually care about the sufferings of the people!"
"Ahem!"
Yun Chong was stunned when he heard Qin Yuan's words. When he came to his senses, he could only show an embarrassed expression, "This...maybe it wasn't done by the Yun family!"
This actually made Qin Yuan even more surprised.
On the Yun family's territory, it was not the Yun family who opened a warehouse to provide food relief.
"Is it the government?"
Qin Yuan murmured, or is it some good person in the city?
"How is it possible? That Magistrate of the Heike County is just a fool. It would be even harder to get money from him!"
Yun Chong said with disdain.
"My lord doesn't know that refugees are not allowed to enter Pingyun County!"
"In the recent period, it can be said that there have been natural and man-made disasters. Needless to say, the officials in the imperial court are corrupt and extortionate!"
"The main reason is that many terrifying beasts appeared in the mountains and wilds, attacking the villagers who originally lived in the mountains and forests, causing them to become displaced and flee to the towns!"
"Fortunately, many strangers appeared again, established villages, and accepted refugees, otherwise corpses would have been everywhere!"
Chai Wanqiang said, "In this world, even the robbery business is hard to do!"
"There is another reason!"
Qin Yuan suddenly realized that, after all, he was in the background of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the world would not be normal unless it was in chaos.
As for the so-called ferocious beasts and the villagers living in the mountains, they are probably created out of nothing. They are the rules of this "myth" world. Otherwise, there would be so many refugees.
Without these people, the player village cannot develop.
However, most refugees will flee to towns rather than player villages.
Just like this group of refugees who entered Yuncheng.
There are more than a thousand refugees hiding here, which is really terrifying.
I don’t know if there is such a refugee point in the entire Yuncheng, or if there are several.
"It's not the Yun family or the government, then it's..."
Qin Yuan paused and stared at the strong man who was serving porridge, with yellow cloth strips tied to his arms.
Isn’t this the one worn by the Yellow Turban Army?
However, the Yellow Turban Rebellion has not officially started yet.
But the Yellow Turbans' activities had already begun secretly.
Unexpectedly, there are also Yellow Turban activities in the remote northern part of Youzhou.
Qin Yuan stayed for a while and saw that the refugees did not leave after eating, but all gathered together, with pious expressions on their faces.
Then, a middle-aged man wearing a light yellow robe, with a long beard and a kind face came out and began to explain some principles and instill knowledge to the refugees.
Qin Yuan listened to a few words and nodded deeply, feeling that what the other party said was very reasonable.
After listening to it for a while, I was almost fascinated.
There is a voice in my heart that keeps ringing, wanting to join their religion and create a peaceful and prosperous age with them!
"Stop listening and leave!"
Qin Yuan patted the two people around him, turned around and left, not daring to stay here any longer.
I'm afraid that if I listen to it for a while longer, I will really fall under the Yellow Turbans' banner.
The middle-aged man was a Yellow Turban believer under Zhang Jiao.
These Yellow Turban believers are distributed throughout the country to promote Yellow Turban doctrines to confuse people and prepare for the Yellow Turban Uprising!
Hearing Qin Yuan's reminder, Yun Chong and Chai Wanqiang woke up from their dreams, looked at the man fearfully, and followed Qin Yuan away.
After seeing the Yellow Turban believers, Qin Yuan stopped shopping.
He felt that this Yuncheng was probably infiltrated by the Yellow Turban Sect!
By the time of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Yuncheng is expected to fall directly.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Qin Yuan, just leave it to the Yun family and the government.
Qin Yuan also remembered that when the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, Youzhou was also the hardest hit area, and it would be inevitable to have to deal with the Yellow Turban.
As for whether it is an enemy or a friend, it is not yet clear.
Later, Qin Yuan discovered a shop in the city that sold many architectural drawings.
It's just that the price is a bit expensive. The cheapest one starts with three taels of gold, and there are many drawings that cost dozens to hundreds of taels of gold.
After a little inquiry, I found that most of these architectural drawings came from mysterious traveling businessmen.
If you meet a wandering merchant, not only players can buy it, but also aborigines, provided they have enough money.
Qin Yuan guessed that the so-called wandering merchants should be the game shops in "Myth", which specialize in providing players with architectural drawings!
If you buy it directly from a Yunyou merchant, the price is not expensive.
But if it changes hands several times, the price is astonishingly high.
A few people found a nice-looking tavern in the city.
Qin Yuan took a casual glance and sat in a remote seat by the window.
There were many people sitting in the lobby on the first floor, sitting in small groups and chatting together.
Most of them are players, and the rest are also some indigenous rangers or travelers.
Taverns have always been one of the places where news travels fastest.
Many people like to brag in pubs, and some people tell the truth and reveal some secrets after drinking.
Therefore, many forces send spies to stay in taverns to obtain intelligence information.
Over time, it became a place for obtaining, exchanging, and trading information.
