The reason why Meng Yun was allowed to stay at the Zhao Family Martial Arts School was not only to consume the extra food he had prepared, but the most important purpose was also to attract the refugees who came to the city from afar.
In the Ming Dynasty, where productivity was underdeveloped, especially in border areas like Youzhou.
Let alone the current era of turmoil, chaotic government, and constant natural and man-made disasters.
Even in Haiqingheyan, during the harvest years when the weather is good and the weather is good, there are still a lot of refugees wandering around.
There will always be families who move and flee due to natural disasters or man-made disasters.
As for now, corrupt officials are rampant, and aristocratic families are domineering and blood-sucking. It is not uncommon.
Then there will be even more refugees.
The refugee's escape route is illogical.
They only follow one principle: wherever they can have food to eat and survive, they will run wherever they can.
Feng'an City, backed by three mountains and with extremely inconvenient transportation, is one of the best choices for many refugees among many nearby cities.
Feng'an City has a special terrain and is not a battleground for military strategists.
The land is vast and the people are sparse, so there is always room for food.
If you run to Feng'an City, you can at least survive.
These refugees, who are dragging their families with them or running for their lives alone, are Huang An's targets.
Winning over these people was Huang An's long-planned plan.
Regardless of their status or physical strength, they are the best candidates to be brainwashed.
If you can run that far, your health must not be too bad.
Psychologically, they are refugees, and whoever can give them a bite of food is their savior.
As long as you help them settle down in Feng'an City and live a good life, they can follow you.
Then these refugees will be the strongest supporters in their base area.
The development idea of absorbing refugees into one's own forces and developing and strengthening one's own forces has been tested by time, practice and history.
It is definitely one of the best ways to develop and grow your power.
After the people left, Huang An continued to look at the roster.
"Is it a frame-up, or is it forcing them to jump over the wall so that I can find a breakthrough?"
Huang An prepared several plans, but he hesitated at this moment.
However, he quickly made up his mind.
"When everything is on track, uproot them! People's support is the most important thing!"
"Step by step, eat away step by step, until the final decision is made!"
...
When you are busy, time flies by.
In a daze, seven or eight days passed.
The work of the engineering team, inspection team, and security team is already on the right track.
After the entire Feng'an City experienced two major changes, the people finally adapted to the unfamiliar appearance.
Huang An's efforts are worth it.
From the first day of entering Feng'an City to now, more than half a month has passed, and Feng'an City, which was numb, indifferent, and dead in the past, has finally regained its vitality to a certain extent.
Walking on the road, you can clearly hear the laughter and laughter that you have never heard before.
If someone conducts field research and statistics on the streets, it will be easy to see that the number of small vendors in the city has increased by at least 20% in just one week.
If we extend the time line and conduct statistics, it is estimated that the change in this data will be more obvious.
Huang An and Zhao Yan finally established a foothold in the city.
Just when Huang An planned to officially start eradicating all the aristocratic families in the city, a sudden guest disrupted his plan.
He is a money-lover!
She actually entered the city overnight, escorted by eight guards. -
Zhao Le rode his horse and the group went straight to the Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall.
Unfortunately, it was all gone.
Only Meng Yun and Liu Zi stayed in the martial arts hall.
Afterwards, she was personally led by Meng Yun, and the two of them arrived at the Li family's residence.
By chance, at the gate of Li's house, I met my sister, Zhao Yan, who came in a hurry after getting the news.
By this time, the sky was already dark.
Huang An was soaking his feet and drinking tea in the courtyard.
He planned to practice martial arts again later and then have a good sleep.
He is very busy these days.
Not only was he busy inside and outside Feng'an City, but his hometown also needed his care and attention.
He felt like his happiness was like a top, spinning forever.
"Junior brother, open the door quickly. Look who's coming."
It's late at night, and anyone who has been busy for a day, before getting ready to go to bed, will be unhappy if they are woken up.
However, junior sister Zhao Le is not among them.
Huang An has always respected the people who saved his life.
He immediately recognized the little senior sister's unique light and joyful cry.
"Little senior sister?"
Huang An immediately stood up, put the footbath away in a few seconds, and headed straight for the courtyard entrance.
With a "creak", the courtyard door opened.
With a look of surprise on his face, Huang An noticed the two senior sisters standing gracefully under the moonlight.
Senior Sister Zhao Yan and Young Senior Sister Zhao Le actually came over.
Apart from the two of them, there is no one else.
"Please come in quickly!"
Huang An also washed his hands just now and immediately invited the two senior sisters in.
"Sister, why are you here?"
Huang An's tone was filled with surprise and doubt.
Logically speaking, the young senior sister would not come over at this time.
The master is getting married at the end of the month, and it will be less than twelve days away.
Shouldn't she stay in Youzhou and stay in the house to help?
Even Zhao Yan looked surprised at this moment.
She had just heard the news and came specially from the city lord's mansion, and happened to meet her sister at the door.
She didn't have time to ask.
Seeing his sister and junior brother staring at him, Zhao Le's mouth dropped, with a look of disgust and despair on his face.
"Why!"
She sighed deeply, and for a moment she didn't know how to speak.
Huang An and Zhao Yan looked at each other and saw the curiosity in each other's eyes.
Something's wrong, the little senior sister (sister) has always had a big heart, so she wouldn't show such an expression unless it was a big deal.
"Why!"
The little money fan sighed again.
"This matter, this matter is difficult to say."
"Why!"
He kept sighing.
Zhao Yan's expression changed, an ominous premonition arose in her heart, and she asked in a cold voice:
"You didn't run out secretly, did you?"
The tone is a bit harsh.
But it’s also normal. This is indeed something a small money fanatic can do.
Even Huang An has such speculation.
Unexpectedly, after Zhao Yan finished asking, he saw a look of grievance on the face of the little money fan.
She also boldly glanced at Huang An and Zhao Yan.
"It's better for you to run far away. I'm going to be bored to death from staying in Youzhou."
She did not answer Zhao Yan's question directly, which gave Huang An and Zhao Yan a bad feeling.
No way, did he really sneak out?
As for the incomprehensible emotion in the little senior sister's eyes, although Huang An and Zhao Yan felt strange, they didn't think much about it.
The two of them focused all their attention on whether the little senior sister (sister) had secretly escaped.
However, Huang An and Zhao Yan quickly reacted.
No, the little senior sister (sister) wouldn’t be so ignorant, would she?
Why did she choose to run away from Feng'an City on the occasion of her master's (father's) wedding?
Although my younger sister is out of tune many times, she never disappoints people when it comes to important things.
