Chapter 1742 Sharpening the Knife and Raising the Wool ([-])

"Don't, don't, don't, don't! If you have something to talk about, talk it over!" Shu Qianhu's blatant threat really made the magistrate start to sweat again, and then turned his head to face the people next to him, "On the paper There are quite a lot of figures written, but they are all reasonable. Share your family’s big business, each family’s contribution is not too much, it’s not a good thing to have thousands of refugees stuck in the county, even we don’t The road is gone, why not just give them enough food and let them return home as soon as possible?"

"Master Xianzun said less, there are not only thousands of people in the county, but tens of thousands." Qi Ke reminded her that the words of Lord Xianzun made her unexpectedly discover that the county did not know the latest situation in the county.

"What?" The county lord was startled, "With just a few words, it's tens of thousands?!"

"My lord doesn't know that the refugees in the county come in batches."

It's fine for Qi Ke to mock the big landlord opposite, she wouldn't go on mocking a magistrate of a county on such an occasion, they are about to step down, so why bother to use such tongue-in-cheek advantage.

"The first few thousand people arrived were the first team, all young and strong men; the second group of old and weak women and children was already tens of thousands, and no one can count the exact 1 or [-] or how many; Behind this group of women and children, there are several young and strong teams that have come from various places in Zhang County. It is not known whether there are new old and weak women and children behind them."

"Oh my god, it's more than tens of thousands. This means that the people of Zhang County have all come to our county?!"

The magistrate of the county turned pale with fright, and he kept slandering that he was about to resign, and that the neighboring county had caused such a big trouble for him.

The faces of the elders on the opposite side became even uglier.

"Refugees are stuck in the county, and we don't know what the disaster situation in Zhang County is like, so we can't send people to check." Shu Qianhu sighed for the tragic experience of the people, "At the beginning of their disaster, When Zhang County asks the surrounding counties for help, if the county can help, even if there are still refugees, I believe it will not be like this."

"Several neighboring counties, Fu County is the only rich county, where can refugees go? Those who can come to this county, in terms of geographical location, are those who are next to this side of the county, and Zhang, which is a little farther away. The people of the county, even if they want to come to this county to find a way to survive, they will not be able to come if the mountains are high and the roads are far away."

Qi Ke said in a low mood, which made her inevitably think of her experience when she left the capital and went all the way south. What she saw was the suffering in the world.

"Oh, the people are miserable." The county lord wiped his eyes with a corner of his cuff, and he didn't know if he was really emotional.

"The people in Zhang County are pitiful, but with so many people added together, the amount of food they need is endless. If Zhang County doesn't call them back for a day, we will take care of them for a day. How can there be such a reason? Even if Jinshanyin Mountains can’t support such a population.”

The faces of the elders were ashen, and they said through gritted teeth.

This is where the bargain comes in.

"Now that I know it's difficult, why didn't I get rid of it when I asked for help? I didn't end up in the current situation."

When Shu Qianhu mentioned this, he became very angry and slammed the table.

"The military strength of our Qianhusuo is all on the county, and the daily food and grass are also a huge burden. The county has not allocated even a bag of food. You big landlords can't support it. Then we The small thousand households have already run out of ammunition and food!"

"Give it, the county will give it food! The county will give it to the Qianhusuo. The soldiers must be fed!"
