Chapter 881 New Year
81 Chinese website.x8om choked and 1 treacherous
It took countless horses to release them, and it took two hours to finally invite more than a hundred old men from the 800,000 refugees who could make up their minds.
Mr. Su refers to respected people, not all the elderly, most of them are middle-aged people in their forties or fifties, but the elderly are a minority.
These people gathered together and sat on the chairs they moved in.
Wang Xu led Liu Quan, and there were more than a dozen healthy servants standing behind him, sitting in the main seat.
Seeing Wang Xu, who was only eight years old but had been in charge of disaster relief, the old people below were mixed.
If someone had said before that they would get help from an eight-year-old child when they fled to Yangzhou, they would definitely think that the person who spoke was crazy.
How can an eight-year-old child do such a big thing? It is unreasonable.
But now, no one can laugh because Wang Xu is the one who is in charge of the family. From them to 800,000 victims, he can only survive with the help of a child.
Some of the victims said that the young master of the Wang family was the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva in heaven.
Someone said again, that's wrong. When the young master of the Wang family was born, he was obviously a Taoist priest from Zhongnan Mountain, so why did he become a Bodhisattva reincarnation?
If you want to reincarnate, it is also the reincarnation of the Star Lord. This young master of the Wang family is the star god in the sky, and he was unable to stand the suffering of the people.
Three people become tigers, and if there are too many people talking, there will naturally be some people who believe it.
After all, Wang Xu is not like an ordinary person. Since Dong Zhongshu respects Confucianism alone, he has produced many prodigy, but few are so amazing. Gan Luo, who is only twelve years old, can suppress him.
"All the elders here are Wang Xu's elders. I won't hide what I have to say. Liu Quan said that the situation in Jiaozhou is getting better and everyone is thinking about going back. Is this happening?"
Wang Xu sat in the main seat and looked at the more than a hundred old men in front of him.
The old men looked at each other and talked quietly for a while. Someone stood up and said, "It's because of this. Everyone has been out for two or three months. They are very homesick. Now the disaster relief ambassador has presided over the disaster relief in Jiaozhou. The situation has improved. Many people want to go back and take a look, but they don't have any surplus food in their hands and dare not go on the road."
"food"
Wang Xu nodded slightly, glanced at Liu Quan beside him, and said, "How much food do we have?"
"There are still 15 million kilograms of millet and 8 million kilograms of beans. The mixed bag can add up to 25 million kilograms of grain."
Grain is just a general term, corn, soybeans, and rice are all included.
Hearing that there was so much food, the old man present cheered up and waited for Wang Xu's following.
Wang Xu pointed at the table with his finger, thought for a while, and said, "The grain in the granary is enough for us to last more than a month. It is easy to borrow some food for everyone to return home, but"
His tone paused, and when everyone held their breath, Wang Xu said again: "I'm afraid that someone is not greedy and doesn't leave after receiving the food, and still staying to be a victim. This is not easy to deal with."
"Don't worry, young master, I can't guarantee anything else. At the disaster relief site on the 12th, I promised that the person who received the food would never be left and would never cause trouble for the young master." The person who spoke was an old man. He was always a hunter dressed as a hunter, but he was full of muscles, and he was not inferior to the young man at all. He looked like a person like Huang Zhong.
"Where are you?"
Wang Xu looked at the others, some of them patted their chests and promised, while others were unclear.
More than a hundred old people present represent 800,000 victims.
On average, each person is the leader of five or six thousand victims. Some people are strong enough to suppress dissatisfaction.
Some people can get on top, but rely on mutual checks and balances, and their control over the victims is not strong, so I can't guarantee it.
I could see the reactions of everyone and have the confidence to take the victims away. Only one-third of the people would not be in trouble.
Upon understanding this situation, Wang Xu nodded to Liu Quan and said, "Put up the pen and ink and make a military order for those who are confident that they can take the victims away without causing chaos. Once the military order is established, the number of people who leave is five kilograms of corn, two kilograms of soybeans, and one kilogram of rice. But I am ugly in front of you. Those who leave cannot come back, otherwise I will talk to you."
"No, we are all selected from all villages. No one will choose us if we don't keep our word. The men below are all good men from the same place. They just leave and will never cause trouble for the young master, otherwise I will go to their house."
The hunter was the first to respond, and everyone else was sure of it, and they all stood up.
Wang Xu nodded slightly and signaled Liu Quan to let these people protect him.
Liu Quan walked up with his pen and ink. Some people didn't know how to write their names, so they just pressed a handprint on the paper.
After a round, there were about fifty Su Laos who were willing to take people back home, accounting for two-fifths of Su Laos.
The remaining people shook their heads and said nothing. Some were willing to be victims and did not want to go back. Some were conscious of lack of ability and were afraid that the team would be in chaos if they didn't take them back.
Sign, draw, borrow food
Wang Xu was not so sad about the victims who were about to leave. Each of them gave him five kilograms of millet, two kilograms of beans, one kilogram of rice, and a total of eight kilograms of grain.
These foods are not enough to support these people to return home, but they can still support them for more than ten days.
There are wild vegetables and leaves mixed on the road, which should be able to last for half a month. As for what happens later, it is not something you can consider now.
When they heard the news that they could go home, the victims cheered and left more than 200,000 on the first day.
The rest of the people were also watching. The next day, he left tens of thousands, tens of thousands, and the fourth day.
After a week, only 300,000 victims remained, and most of them left.
Even some people who didn't want to leave before, when they saw everyone leaving, they thought of following the crowd. After all, they had been out for several months. If they had the chance, who wouldn't want to go back and have a look?
Ten days later
All those who should leave, those who come and those who go, the victims outside Jiuquan Town remained at more than 300,000.
The rest of the people didn't want to leave, and some people came with their families and had no plans to go back.
Some people don’t come to escape from famine without any help but bring some wealth.
Seeing that Jiuquan Town is in good condition, I no longer have the intention to leave. I ran to the town all day long, thinking about how to move my household registration and settle down here.
There are fewer disaster victims, this is a real feeling, and there is another feeling that the New Year is coming soon.
This year's New Year, on February 12th, there are only ten days left.
As the end of the year approaches, people's hearts are inevitably impetuous.
However, there is not no good news. News came from the county that the victims gradually dispersed, and County Magistrate Cheng was not panicked.
There is a saying above that during the New Year, the county will also provide disaster relief, and it will be maintained from the first day of the first day to the fifteenth day of the year, which is considered to show off before the disaster has passed.
This is good news. In Liyang County, the Wang family is the largest disaster relief company in the country. In addition, there are also disaster relief companies in other places, but they are all small-scale troubles.
The county's outing for disaster relief can greatly alleviate the Wang family's food pressure. After all, after experiencing the disaster relief in the first two months, coupled with the food sent by the victims back, Wang Xu's food in his hands is also short of money.
New Year's Eve
"It's the New Year!"
Wang Xu, dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked on the street with four dog legs in a happy mood.
On the street, the villagers of Jiuquan Town have already started to decorate the lights and put on the Spring Festival couplets and the firecrackers that burn firecrackers are much more lively than usual.
The victims who walked outside the town were all washing themselves out and changing out the beggar's clothes that they had never changed all the way, and looked much more pleasing to them.
Seeing Wang Xu coming out, the victims cheered and some even knelt down on the spot and kowtowed, "Master Xiao Wang, I kowtowed to you. You are a good person, a great person!"
"Master Wang, Master Wang, Master Wang!!"
The victims surrounded Wang Xu. Without musical instruments, they beat bamboo robberies and sang and danced together.
Wang Xu's face was full of smiles. Most of the victims left behind would be integrated into Jiuquan Town in the beginning of spring.
With these more than 300,000 people, the scale of Jiuquan Town can be at least twice. Moreover, these people have received favors from the Wang family. Even if the grace of fighting rice lasts for three years and the grace of saving lives can be forgotten for ten years, but with the support of these people in a short period of time, the Wang family will make the final say in Jiuquan Town.
With this foundation and the disaster, the court may reward meritoriously.
The Wang family will break out of the township and become a newcomer in the county, and their fame will be passed down by word of mouth with millions of victims.
In a few years, one passes to ten, ten passes to hundreds. When it comes to the Wang family of Jinshan Mansion in Yangzhou, no one can give a thumbs up.
"If you don't take a single step, you won't be able to reach a thousand miles. A journey of a thousand miles begins today with a single step!"
Wang Xu smiled and greeted the victims with a smile, thinking to himself: "The first step to maintaining hope is done today!"
