Chapter 87 New troubles in Lu Zhixian
readx;
(The second volume begins, Liu Jun has begun to emerge and gain a bigger stage world.)
The doctor Liu Jun invited was very skilled in medical treatment. After he came to the shack to diagnose the boy from the Zhao family, he took out silver needles and acupuncture, and then took an old ginseng and asked Zhao Shun's wife to stew it into ginseng soup for the child to feed it. Soon the boy from the Zhao family became sweaty and woke up, and began to call him father and mother, and even knew he was hungry.
Zhao Shun and his wife were overjoyed, and kept grateful to the doctor and Liu Jun, and even kowtowed. The old man and Liu Jun helped the other one up. The doctor said, "The child was cured after he was sick and his body was still weak. He should be careful to recuperate, strengthen his diet, make some egg custard or fresh fish every day, but remember not to over-add in too much."
Zhao Shun's wife looked full of sorrow. Now that the family is like this, how can there be eggs and fish for the children to replenish. At this time, she didn't know that Liu Jun had given new hope to the refugees in the shack.
"Don't worry, don't worry about this anymore. I want to tell you that we will have a good life in the future. Let me introduce to you, this is the second son of the Liu family in Xiwan, the captain of Jiutou, and now he is still a patrol officer at Hutou Pass. He had come forward to help us solve the problem with the pawnshop. He had also invited me to Jiutou and become the chief craftsman. There are five or two months of grain and one stone of monthly grain every month."
Zhao Shun held his son and told his wife excitedly that it was easy to digest, while Liu Jun watched.
The news soon spread throughout the shack. At first, many women and elderly people stayed in the shack didn't believe it, but soon the men and sons from various families came back one after another from the county town. They did not come back empty-handed, but they also took white money to the An family and cloth, and each of them even carried a bag of rice.
If it weren't for the young master Liu Jiye who was sitting in Zhao Shun's shack, some old people would even suspect that the young people who had been out with sticks before would have robbed the county town.
After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, everyone shed tears excitedly.
Leaving your hometown, escaping from a foreign land, struggling to survive, the taste of this kind of life is extremely bitter. Many people feel that their future is confused and they are almost breathless. However, God has opened his eyes and actually made them meet such a good person.
There are more than 300 households and more than 1,000 people in the hut area. Liu Jun wants to take them all away from here and near Hutouguan in Taiping Township. More than 100 young and strong men will become nine-headed recruits, dozens of them will become craftsmen, and the rest will become workers. Their families will be placed for them at that time.
In short, do good things to the end and send them to the West.
Moreover, Liu Jun felt that helping these refugees is not just doing good deeds. These are refugees who leave their hometowns. If they take them in by themselves, they can become their own people, their soldiers, their craftsmen, and their entirely rely on him.
That night, torches and bonfires were everywhere in the shacks, as bright as daytime.
Every household is cooking the rice I just got. After fleeing, few people have eaten delicious rice. Today, these refugees have found a new way out and have hope in their lives. Everyone has started to cook rice to celebrate.
Liu Jun became the one who loved to welcome the most. Wherever he went, someone would kneel down to him and praised him endlessly, as if he had become a Buddha who saved the world in the hearts of the refugees.
All night, no one slept, and everyone was so excited that they couldn't sleep. Men, women and the elderly were looking forward to a new life, but they couldn't sleep if they thought about it. The children had a rare meal of delicious rice, and they all ate a round stomach, and they couldn't sleep at all at night.
At dawn, the magistrate Lu Jinxi rushed over with a group of people.
It's not coming to arrest people, but to give away silver.
Last night, Lu Jinxi didn't sleep all night, tossing and turning all night, and the more he thought about it, the more he became more and more scared.
The refugees in the shack outside the city only felt that it was a bit annoying. After these people came, they built a shack outside the city, and more than a thousand people stuck to Macheng like a piece of dog skin plaster. The appearance of these people caused a lot of public security in the county town, and beggars could be seen everywhere, and many people even stole them.
Every now and then, he had to ask someone to go there to give porridge a few times to prevent anyone from starving to death.
Although he hated this group of people, Lu Jinxi turned out to be just annoying. But yesterday, hundreds of refugees from shacks rushed into the county town with sticks, clashed with the county pawn shop, and confronted each other across the street, and almost started fighting. He even later heard that refugees were shouting at that time, and they might as well be damn.
Fortunately, Liu Jun comforted the matter. If he really fought last night, and even these refugees turned against each other, burned, killed, looted, he would not be as simple as losing his official position.
I'm afraid to think about it. This is not a shack, it's simply a gunpowder depot. If I'm not careful, it will burn and explode.
After thinking about it for a night, Lu Jinxi decided to fully support Liu Jun and let him get the refugees away as soon as possible. Fortunately, Liu Jun was willing to take over these people, and actually regarded these refugees as treasures and wanted to recruit soldiers and become craftsmen. Now he was very worried that Jun would turn around and regret it, and the shack would be stuck in the county town again.
In order to get Liu Jun to get the group of people away immediately, Lu Jinxi even discussed urgently with a group of colleagues and subordinates of the county government early in the morning, and finally decided to take out a sum of money and give it to the group of refugees as resettlement fees, so that they could leave early.
He even contacted various shopping malls in the county and mobilized them to donate a sum of money together so that they could send these refugees away as soon as possible. I believe that after yesterday's incident, other shops would not want to be suddenly besieged by these refugees one day.
Lu Jinxi came up and said thanks to Liu Jun first. Thanks to him, he was calm in the face of danger and quickly dealt with and comforted the matter last night.
"The county is very grateful after knowing that you are going to take all these refugees to Hutouguan. You helped the county solve a big problem. After resettling them, it really solved a big hidden danger. We all know that you made great efforts. After discussing with other colleagues in the county, I felt that you could not let you work alone. The county decided to give you 500 taels of silver to help you resettle these refugees. In addition, shops in various businesses have been mobilized, and then 500 taels of silver will be raised to place these people."
Lu Jinxi was very serious about one thousand taels of silver. The businessmen in the county were probably also surprised. When the world was in turmoil, no one wanted one day to become a bandit. Each family paid some money and sent these people to the distant Taiping Township.
"I have taken over the kindness of the great master and the neighbors on behalf of the refugees and thanked everyone for them. I also ask the great master and the neighbors to rest assured. Today they will move out of here and go to Taiping Township to resettle. I will pay the thousand taels of silver that everyone has raised as much as possible to the refugees. Each person has one tael of silver. I will pay the insufficient part out of my own pocket."
"Can you move out today?" Lu Jinxi didn't care whether the thousand taels of silver ended up in Liu Jun's pocket or whether it could really fall into the hands of refugees. What he cared about was that Liu Jun could not really move these people away.
"Everyone actually has no property. They are just a broken shack and a few pots and pans. They don't even need to use a car. They can just pack them up and carry them on their backs. This place is not far from Hutou Pass, seventy or eighty miles away, and it takes only one day to get there."
Lu Jinxi suddenly showed a relaxed expression on his face, and he felt relieved. The powder barrel was finally moving away. Although he still moved to Taiping Township in Macheng County, it was seventy miles away from the county town after all.
"Do you need a carriage or horse? I can ask the yamen to help find some here."
"It is naturally the best to have it. After all, among these more than a thousand people, there are also many elderly people and children, and some women have small feet. It is too difficult to let them walk down by themselves for seventy or eighty miles."
"Leave this to me, I will arrange people to organize some cars and horses immediately." County Magistrate Lu hopes that these people will leave the county town immediately, the farther they leave, the better.
The refugees in the shack area did not respond much to the magistrate wearing official robes. They settled in the magistrate's county town, but they had not received much care, so they could not say they liked it, but they looked at it coldly.
All families are making firewood. Last night, they agreed that after dinner this morning, they would start packing their homes and then go to Hutou Pass, Taiping Township, Xinjia.
"Jiye, the court has recently made a new decision. I wonder if you have heard of it." After dealing with the refugee affairs, Lu Jinxi's mood improved significantly. At this time, he began to think about how to solve another problem that troubled him. After standing here, Lu Magistrate suddenly found that he had found a new direction.
"I wonder what the master said?" Liu Jun asked. Liu Jun still respected Lu Jinxi very much. This person is not bad. He was a serious magistrate from Jinshi. He was very young. Although he lacked experience, he was still very conscientious. Especially when he said nothing about himself.
Liu Jun is now an inspector, Lu Jinxi is the magistrate and his direct superior, so Liu Jun is more willing to cooperate with him.
"There is another thing, of course, that is, the court had previously ordered all parties to increase the tax on their own, the governors and generals of the border towns to train troops, and the prefectures, prefectures, counties and counties to train bravery. In Macheng, we have two items, and a large amount of tax on their own has been sent, with a large amount. Secondly, the county has to practice five hundred bravery."
Speaking of this matter, Lu Magistrate Lu's good mood was gone. It is not a big problem to distribute some money and grain. The additional salary was mainly based on the land acres. The more land the more, the less land the less. There are many gentry in Macheng, and many families have retired officials and officials in office. These people are more supportive of the imperial court. They generally do not refuse the issue of some money. With the big family of Meili and Liu Zhouxi, he took the lead and he would have to spend more talk, so the matter could be done.
What’s more troublesome now is the 500-year-old practice.
Five hundred courageous practice is not simply a 500 rural courage, but a training is required after the recruitment, and then the superiors will definitely come to prosecute. If this courage cannot be practiced, there will definitely be problems. According to the old example, such courageous practice is usually sent by each village and township, and a few young and strong people will be produced in one mile, and then gather together for two or three months in autumn and winter.
But in spring and summer, these people still have to go home to farm. The most troublesome thing is that such a village man is basically not likely to be able to practice. He spends time and money, and in the end he can't even practice it. In the end, he must be the one who is unlucky.
