behind me is the earth.

Chapter 339 337. Wuzhou is too good

"When you go back, give me a copy of the achievements made by Yiren in various fields."

Ren Pingsheng said to the civil servants.

"Yes!"

The official quickly agreed.

As an attendant, he is a section chief of the Zhongshuge Secretariat. Normally, he can only receive tasks from Xiao Wan, Wang Shu, Si Qi, and Qing Yin, but this time he received the task directly from the prince, and he was very pleasantly surprised.

Once it is done, there is a possibility that Jane will be in the heart of the emperor, and if she is released in the future, she will be able to rise to the top!

With his own excitement, the official got out of the car and ran back to the carriage that belonged to him.

The tunnel is very long, the sound of outsiders talking, the sound of horseshoes stamping on the ground, reverberates in this tunnel.

And because there is no ventilation equipment, the air circulation in the tunnel is slow, making it a bit dull.

There is no problem with waterproofing. The walls around the tunnel are very dry and no water spots have penetrated.

"The carriages are all driven along the marked area on the road. Be careful not to collide. Take all the horse manure pockets, and anyone whose horse falls on the ground will be fined 1 tael!"

In the tunnel, there are also patrolling people.

These people are responsible for supervising the traffic on the road, lighting the gas lamps on the enclosure wall, and so on.

After about twenty minutes, I finally saw the light coming from the front of the tunnel.

Ren Pingsheng could clearly hear the relief of many people around him. Obviously, under a big river, in such a deep and airtight environment, they all had a heavy burden on their hearts.

Perhaps, after walking a few more times and getting used to it, this fear can be overcome.

"Wow!"

When I came out of the exit and climbed up the gentle slope, I heard a burst of exclamation from outside.

Xiaowan opened the curtains and saw many pedestrians outside, looking up towards the direction of the river.

She also turned her head and looked in the direction of the Lanjiang River, just in time to see a large ship passing above them. On the large ship with full sails, there were also many people gathered around the deck, looking at the situation below. There is a road that crosses from underneath and marvels.

"This fleet belongs to Zhaozhou?"

Ren Pingsheng saw seven or eight big boats flying above them, with flags hanging on them, and a big "flower" character was blowing against the wind.

The Hua family, who can have such a battle in the south, is probably Zhaozhou Hua.

"Zhaozhou Hua's family is in the porcelain business. Almost every season, a fleet of ships will pass by the Lanjiang River, then turn around and go to Dongyang County, and then transport them to Eastern and Southeast Asian countries for sale through Zheng Shaoguan."

Xiaowan said.

"That's still a big client."

Ren Pingsheng laughed.

Whether passing through the Lanjiang River or carrying out customs declaration and distribution at the Dongyang County Wharf, they have to pay a considerable amount of customs duties to the government, and of course they are considered a big customer.

Here, the convoy paid the river crossing fee according to the vehicle, ten Wen for a carriage, and two Wen for a horse or a bicycle.

For those ordinary people and small traders who do not have a carriage and carry on their shoulders, there is no charge, which can be regarded as a kind of protection and support for them.

Ren Pingsheng saw that most of the people who came from the underwater tunnel carrying large and small burdens were young people in their teens and twenties.

And among these people, there are some skinny people who walk shakyly.

These people immediately reminded Ren Pingsheng of those refugees who were common in Qingcheng Town.

The characteristics of the refugees are very obvious, no matter in body or temperament, they are incompatible with the people of Wuzhou.However, it was different from the refugees Ren Pingsheng had seen in Qingcheng before. There was no numbness in the eyes of these refugees, but a strong yearning for life and anticipation for the future.

When we got on the road again, we saw many such refugees one after another along the way.

When passing by Qiancun County, Ren Pingsheng saw that on the outside of the road outside Qiancun County, dozens of large pots were set up, and porridge was cooked on a low fire.

"parking!"

Ren Pingsheng yelled and got out of the car.

On weekdays, when I stay in the palace, what I listen to is some important matters, or things that I am interested in.

Come and take a look, Ren Pingsheng didn't know that a foreigner from the civil engineering department in another world had also followed the path of the civil engineering brother.

I don't know where so many refugees and refugees have poured in.

I don't know which aspects of the changes have profoundly affected the people.

"The porridge is well cooked."

When Ren Pingsheng got out of the car, the attendants behind him got out of the car with a "crash" and followed around Ren Pingsheng.

The official who cooked the porridge was shocked when he saw the battle, he didn't know which high-ranking official came out to visit in private.

Hearing Ren Pingsheng's praise, he nodded and bowed again and again, "It was arranged by Director Lu of our Wangjiang County Jiyangyuan. The cooked polenta is thicker, so that the refugees from Huanhua County can eat enough. It's good to be full." On the road, no, no, I’m full, so I can continue on the road to Yile County.”

Not just polenta, there are also a lot of sweet potato pieces in the porridge, which makes this polenta have a strong sweetness.

"Wuzhou is great!"

"Long live King Qi! Long live! Long live!"

"Master, can I have another bowl?"

"You Wuzhou people are so happy!"

The refugees who lined up got their bowls one by one and got porridge, some of them cried while eating.

Beside the gruel shed, there should have been a forest, but the forest had been cut down, leaving only stumps, large and small, on the ground.

Many refugees sat on the tree stump, eating and chatting.

"When there was no military disaster before, we didn't eat these good things." A man with the appearance of an old farmer, even though the spring breeze is coming and his body is not covered, but fortunately he just drank a bowl of hot porridge, and there is something in his stomach. Things, I am not so afraid of the cold now.

"Why is Wuzhou so good? It's easy to walk on this road, no matter it's windy or rainy. Even the porridge served is so delicious, and you can eat as much as you want.

From Anbo to Yangjiang, and then here, I have never eaten porridge like this before. "

"I heard that people in Wuzhou eat three meals a day, and they can eat white rice every meal! I heard that they can eat meat regardless of the year or festival!"

"Really?"

Some refugees came from Wenchang County, Fangzheng County and Anlan County even farther away. They came to Wuzhou by begging all the way, and there were not many families left. They were used to the scene of changing children and eating Guanyin soil. Afterwards, the scene of being unable to pull it down to survive, and seeing the scene of skinny corpses exposed in the wilderness, all the things I saw after I came to Wuzhou always had a hazy sense of unreality.

"It must be true. Look at the people here. They are all strong and well-dressed. They must be living well."

A young woman with a child imagined: "When I settle down in Yile County, I will also be from Wuzhou in the future, right?"

"That is, as long as you work hard after arriving in Yile County, you will definitely be able to live a good life."

Ren Pingsheng came over and said along the way.

Sitting next to these refugees at the same time, he reached out and touched the child's head, and asked with a smile, "Is the porridge just delicious?"

"It's so sweet and delicious!"

Because the child is too thin, the rough black skin of the limbs is tightly wrapped around the bones, the joints are particularly obvious, and the belly looks extraordinarily big.

The bones on the face are prominent, and the eyes are particularly big. It may be that after entering Wuzhou, he has eaten a lot of food for a few days, and his complexion looks good. At this time, he nodded and said, "That sweet potato is delicious."

"Well, when I arrive in Yile County, study hard, and I will definitely be able to eat whatever I want in the future."

Ren Pingsheng patted her on the head, then looked at the woman, and asked, "Where did you come from?"

The woman blushed a little at this moment, she lowered her head and dared not look at him.

This man was wearing a round-neck scribe shirt, which was only worn by the elders when he was in his hometown.

And he was so dazzling, she had only seen him in her life, when the other party took the initiative to ask questions, the woman clenched her fists nervously, clutching the corner of her clothes.

"Huanhua County..."

she whispered.

"Huanhua County in Wanzhou."

This year, the Wanbei Group finally went south and conquered Wenchang County and Huanhua County one after another.

Perhaps now, the regional name of Wanbei Group has to be changed to Wanzhou Group.

"Why did you choose to go to Yile County?"

Ren Pingsheng asked again.

At the same time, he took out two pieces of white rabbit toffee and stuffed them into the child's hands, unwrapped one of the candy wrappers, stuffed the candy into her mouth, and taught her how to eat it.

As soon as the toffee was in his mouth, the child's eyes widened.

It was obviously an unprecedented taste, and it had conquered her sense of taste.

"We originally wanted to go to Yangjiang to seek a living, but after arriving in Yangjiang, many people there are going to Qifeng County, or going south to Yile County.

Someone inquired that many places in Qifeng County and Yile County were recruiting people, and they could get paid.

So we headed towards Yile County again. "

the woman whispered.

"Why didn't you go to Qifeng County? Qifeng County should be closer than Yile County, right?"

Ren Pingsheng asked.

"In Yile County, as long as you find a job, you can take care of the food, and also allocate a place to live. I heard that there are clothes and hair.

What's more, in the places where workers are said to work, workers can also be registered in the register, so that they can become Wuzhou people in the future. "

A young man next to him interjected.

"Yes, yes, the most important thing is to be naturalized in Wuzhou! Once naturalized, we feel at ease."

The surrounding refugees responded one after another.

Although Qifeng County is the current provincial capital of Wuzhou and the center of the Wuzhou regime, the review of naturalization is still stricter than other places.

Ren Pingsheng was here, chatting with several groups of refugees.

I probably know the real situation of the people in Wanzhou.

The government’s exorbitant taxes and levies are terrible, but when the bandits from the Beiwan Group came over, as soon as those bandits entered the city, they would rob houses with knives, rob property and women, and burn, kill, and loot at every turn. How many women were raped and how many innocent people were killed.

Once order disappears, the evil that erupts cannot be stopped.

"Order the First Army to strengthen patrols along the road from Huanhua County to Qifeng County and Yile County, and not to let living corpses appear on these road sections."

Before getting into the car, Ren Pingsheng followed the correspondent and said.

"Yes!"

The correspondent's carriage carried a portable radio station, which could send a telegram to the Qifeng County Secretariat, and the Secretariat would stamp it before forwarding it to the First Army.

"Directly pass the password to Qin Sheng. Doesn't the red-maned horse want to be an official? Let it also be trained in the patrol team and weigh its abilities."

It's not a big deal, and you don't have to go through the procedure again.

However, Qin Sheng paid more attention to the matter directly arranged by Ren Pingsheng.

After leaving Wangjiang County, the convoy continued on the road.

This road has just been opened, and there is actually a lot of traffic on the road.

Occasionally, a muddy truck passed by—whenever such a steel monster passed by, it often caused a burst of fear and exclamation.Some people even ran straight into the wasteland outside the road in fright when they heard the sound of the vehicle horn.

At night, the convoy settled down in a Dasong village below Yue County.

It is said to be a village, but it is actually a spontaneously gathered town, with inns and hotels in the town.

The team booked an inn, Ren Pingsheng lived in the upper room, and the rest of the people could only squeeze together.

At night, the temperature dropped to four or five degrees, and many refugees also gathered in Dasong Village.

Although the Department of Civil Affairs has a nursing home system, the influx of so many refugees far exceeds the capabilities of the nursing home.

However, the Nursing Home in Yue County still prepared a lot of blankets here, and distributed them to the refugees who stayed here overnight. Wrapped in blankets at night, they will spend the night, and the people hired by the Nursing Home will take them back the next day. .

"When I arrived in Wuzhou Province, I realized what it's like to be a human being."

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Ren Pingsheng heard the words of a refugee in a tattered gown.

Yue County is very close to Yile County, and the two are next to each other.

When you set foot on the land of Yile County, the dark green is lingering in your eyes.

However, when the carriage passed by on the road, I often saw a roadside construction site for many years. There were many laborers on the construction site with iron pots, and they kept pushing carts of soil and poured it into the iron pot to stir fry. , Fry the green soil green to fade, and then pour it back into the cart and push it out.

With a sweep of Ren Pingsheng's thoughts, the yellow fields, large and small, covered the green land like scars.

On the carriage, a factory under construction gradually appeared in the field of vision.

In the plan, Yile County will be built into an important industrial town mainly based on the chemical industry. Relying on the Sanchun River Wharf, a tributary of the Lanjiang River, the Qile Highway, and the railway line planned to be built in the later stage, the transportation here will be very developed after all are completed. .

Several industrial parks are still under construction, and the supporting workers' dormitory buildings are also under construction simultaneously. Attracted by the benefits offered by Yile County, workers from all over the world are now in full swing to join this fiery big construction. middle.

In the chemical industry park near the Sanchun River, several factories have already been built and put into operation.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Qixing Oil Refinery.

On the side of the gate, there is also a recruitment registration point, and many people are queuing here, wanting to enter the refinery.

Xiao Wan frowned slightly, and turned to look at a greasy-faced person in the team.

Not long after getting off the car, she found that this man had been staring at her.

Her intuition has become more sensitive since she practiced refining and transforming qi.

"Yes, is it Mrs. Qin?"

The man met Xiao Wan's eyes, knowing that he had been spotted, he hesitated for a while and walked out of the queue, bowed his hands to Xiao Wan from afar and asked loudly.

"Mrs. Qin?"

Xiao Wan glanced at her young master, and turned her mind around, but she didn't have any impression of that unkempt man.

"Take a few steps forward and talk."

Ren Pingsheng and Xiaowan looked at each other, saw the doubt in her eyes, and shouted at that person.

At this time, the entourage also got out of the carriage one after another, and the plainclothes guards scattered around, so as not to appear obtrusive, but also to prevent someone from bumping into Wang Jia.

That person felt the eyes cast on him, and realized that the identity of the person in front of him was very unusual, either rich or noble.

Immediately, he stepped forward more cautiously, stopped when he was two or three meters away, and bowed deeply to Ren Pingsheng: "Xiaosheng Bi Xianzhen, I have met you sir!"
