Chapter 28 The troubled world is like grass

Ding Dang got off the horse and walked, and the two knights beside him were escorting silently, while others were still riding on the horse, vaguely blocking all angles around to prevent assassination.

The middle-aged man had already noticed this place.

There is no way. At this time, there are only a few who can afford a horse, not to mention that Ding Dang is surrounded by armored people, and he is obviously very identifiable.

"What is this lord's order?"

The middle-aged man bowed and bowed.

Ding Dang's eyes lit up and he also returned the favor.

"I am the new county magistrate of Beichen County. I just saw Mr. commanding these with military tactics..."

I originally wanted to say the word "refugee", but in order to take care of the other party's mood, Ding Dang changed his words kindly.

"····················I am quite curious and come here because I take the liberty."

The middle-aged man opposite was obviously surprised when he heard this.

What made Ding Dang even more curious was that the refugees not far away were also a little turbulent.

Ding Dang is really too conspicuous.

He came with a horse, followed by five or six talented knights, and had a good appearance and a white and tender skin. He was obviously the descendant of a wealthy family.

Among the lower class civilians who are generally malnourished, weathered and frost-prone and have worked hard, he naturally became the focus.

Therefore, his words were heard in his ears, even though Ding Dang didn't speak too loudly.

Whenever the refugees were moved, they saw the two soldiers on the left and right holding the hilt of the sword with their left hand. Several knights nearby also narrowed their eyes and held up the spear hanging on the horse, ready to kill them at any time.

It was the middle-aged man who first noticed the situation, waved his hand to stop the turmoil of the refugees, and then turned around with a bitter smile, and was about to provoke his body.

"What is this sir? Why did you perform this great gift?"

Of course, Ding Dang couldn't let him continue to bow like this, and he held his arms with one hand.

The middle-aged man immediately felt as if he was being held by an iron arm. Even if he pressed the weight of his whole body, his hand might not be shaken at all, so he had to stand up.

When I looked up, I saw the boy smiling at the corner of his lips, but there was a hint of chill in his eyes.

He sighed in his heart, knowing that his plan was probably seen through.

I originally thought that I could give up my face and find a way for the villagers behind me. After all, the other party was young. If his face was thinner, he might agree to help?

After all, this person is so young and the lord of a county, he must be a wealthy family. What is the only few hundred refugees?

Unfortunately, this person is so mature, not like a young man.

"Sir?Sir?"

"If you have something, you might as well just say it. Those who can help you will do their best. If you can't help, please understand your difficulties."

Just when he was in a daze, he heard the Beichen County Magistrate in front of him say this.

"This adult, the famous master of the grass-roots people, is from the Heli Township, Nanyang County. His hometown was flooded by floods. He had no choice but to take these villagers to escape here."

"A big flood fell from the sky, and from time to time, it came suddenly, with more than 300 households in a village, only this half of them were left."

He said sadly, describing the strange flood to Ding Dang.

"The water, so big, all of it was full of water. The grass people managed to hold the bathtub at home, and then they saved their lives."

"I have a pity that my name is from Heli, which is within a radius of ten miles. All of them have been transformed into a country of Ze, and Caomin and others have to become unregistered people."

Speaking of this, the sad part was filled with crying voices, and the middle-aged man covered his face and cried.

Ding Dang was a little moved and a little angry when he heard this.

"Since it is a natural disaster in Nanyang County, why don't the Nanyang County officials come forward?"

This is exactly what makes him angry.

Generally speaking, natural disasters, such as floods, are not dealt with in time after they occur, which may cause various other problems.

For example, if the flood recedes and the body is not handled properly, it is easy to cause plague.

The victims after the flood need pensions, new accommodation, and even subsidize some of the money and food.

Otherwise, these people may become refugees, even bandits, or simply be absorbed by civil rebel organizations, becoming the root cause of the dynasty.

All dynasties have been very cautious in dealing with such incidents, which may be due to poor handling and the impact is extremely bad.

Therefore, Ding Dang was angry with the county magistrate's inaction.

"Sir, you don't know that there is no county magistrate in Nanyang County. Not only the county magistrate, but also the sixth house manager in the county has been sealed!"

"Nanyang County has been occupied by thieves long ago!"

Song He cried and told their sufferings.

It turned out that half a year ago, a group of thieves robbed and killed the pre-appointed county magistrate, defeated the county soldiers, and opened the arsenal and took out the weapons and armor, as if they were determined to rebel.

What's strange is that this group of thieves did not harm the big families in the county, but they were miserable.

"Originally, only one year old would pay tax twice, but this group of people had to pay once a month. If they couldn't pay, they would have to sell themselves to the big city owners!"

"If you don't follow, there will be the thief who comes to make trouble during the day and night, and does not kill people. He just makes trouble in different ways, and always forces people to sell themselves as slaves to give up!"

Ding Dang also took a deep breath after hearing this.

I don’t expect that at this moment, there will be such an arrogant bandit!

"I'm afraid this thief from Nanyang County is not a big family in the city pretending to be a slander?"

"Who said no? But what can I do if I see it?"

"We grass people are like weeds on the roadside. Everyone can come up and step on them. As long as we can still survive, who dares to resist them?"

Song He smiled bitterly, hunched over, and his gray hair fluttered in the bleak autumn wind, looking so desolate.

The sun shines on his body, but it still cannot stop the bleak chill on Song He's body.

No, not only him, but also the hundreds of silent refugees around him.

Ding Dang swept over them and saw expectations in their eyes, which was a humble begging.

Taking a deep breath, Ding Dang closed his eyes, and his heart was filled with various emotions.

Angry! Sad! Sorry! Sympathy!

Sad to his misfortune and angered him not to fight!

Either burst out in silence or perish in silence.

Obviously, if you are not forced into a desperate situation, these civilians at the bottom will never think about rebelling and overthrowing the mountains above you.

However, in this world, even the most basic living cannot be given to them!

If they had not met Ding Dang, the seventh-rank county magistrate who was on his way to office, what would happen to them?

Most of the elderly, weak, women and children have any skills, and it is very difficult for them to continue to survive.

As for the young and strong, I am afraid that some of them can only sell themselves as slaves, and the rest will become rebels before starving to death, right?
