Chapter 1142 Abundant Kindness
Chapter 1142: Abundant Kindness.
"Master Eleven has gone to Liuzhou, and I don't know when he will be back."
The current chief official of Southeast County is very young, named Wen Keming. He comes from a family of scholars and is said to have been born in Huangyuan Academy. He majored in agricultural science and had excellent grades in the previous term. He has four or five major patents in his hands.
At the same time, because he was also good at political and historical articles, he was recommended by Shen San to be the deputy political officer of Nanyang City when he was interning in Nanyang City. Later, because the southeast was conquered, there was an urgent need for management talents. The southeast was mostly plains and farmland, and it was a rich place to build a granary. Because Chen Qing had experienced reality, what he hated most was that an amateur was in charge of an expert, so in the end he simply let Wen Keming directly serve as the prefect of Southeast County.
"That's a bit troublesome." Bai Lie, who was in charge of negotiating the refugee issue, frowned when he heard this: "There are more and more refugees, and the demons outside are getting bolder and bolder recently. Many of them dare to keep probing the surrounding areas. According to reports from my men, several Nanman children are in trouble."
When he heard that it was a child who was in trouble, even Wen Keming, who was usually very strict, showed a look of pity.
Most people still have sympathy for children, not to mention that they are studying in the academy. The values they are taught on a daily basis also come from some of Chen Qing's later values. Although there are differences in racial boundaries, young children will more or less not be treated as animals because of their race.
"This"
"My subordinates suggested it." Seeing the other party's reluctant expression, Bai Lie hurriedly said, "You can consider letting the women and children in first, and let the young and strong stay outside. What do you think, Wen Junshou?"
"General Bai, you're too polite." Wen Keming hurriedly returned the greeting when he saw the other party mentioning his position. His qualifications were too shallow, and many of the senior officials under him did not respect him. However, in the past few years, Bai Lie had cooperated with him in various ways and gave him enough face. He was not an ungrateful person.
"Given the current situation in Southeast China, it would be enough to absorb another 10 billion people, not to mention some women and children, but..." Wen Keming hesitated in the end.
Southeast County is a large province, even larger than Jiangnan in terms of area. Its population back then was also larger than Jiangnan. It has always been the main area for the imperial court to recruit soldiers, but because it is located in the south and there are more mountainous areas and forests, the number of mutated monsters when the spiritual energy revived was more powerful than in the north, resulting in a sharp decline in population. In recent years, most of the powerful monsters have been recruited as mountain gods to ensure local safety, and the population is recovering rapidly. But after all, it has only been less than five or six years, and the young and middle-aged population is still limited.
This has resulted in a large amount of farmland in Southeast County that has been nurtured by the mountain gods but has not been developed by the immortal farmers, while there is an overpopulation in the south of the Yangtze River and it has always been difficult for people to come here. Some people come from the north occasionally, but it is a drop in the bucket.
In fact, if those Nanman people were not a threat, letting all those at the door in would be a piece of cake. It could be arranged completely, and we could even continue to recruit more people. But the question is who can guarantee the safety of those people?
"In fact, I have been observing the safety issues for the past year." Bai Lie laughed and said, "Those people have basically never left the protection circle of the gate gods. In that position, without sufficient meat, it is impossible for a strong warrior to persist for so long. Moreover, this time we are mainly recruiting women and children, so the danger is even lower."
"This..." Wen Keming was more and more moved by what he said, and finally nodded in the other party's expectant eyes and said: "Then let's do it this way for now. I will report to Master Eleven as soon as he comes back. As for the responsibility, I will take it at that time."
"Well, look at what the county governor said. Since I was the one who proposed this decision, it will naturally be me, Old Bai, who will take responsibility when the time comes."
"I am the county governor. Since I have agreed, I must take responsibility. General Bai, there is no need to say more. You should set off to the border now to prepare. I will open Jiayun County to adopt these southern barbarians' women and children. What do you think?"
"Lord Wen is a prudent person. This is an excellent choice," Bai Lie nodded repeatedly.
Jiayun County is located in Zhangzhou, close to the south, and is not close to the pass, so it will not pose too much of a threat to the defense of the pass. If one wants to tip off the enemy, one has to pass through four mountain gods along the way, which is not easy. The county town does not have many people's livelihood along the way, so if something happens in the middle of the way, it will not cause too many casualties and there is still room for turnaround.
It must be said that although Wen Junshou is young, he is indeed very meticulous in his work. "That's it, General Bai will go first, and I will immediately rush to Jiayun to coordinate the pick-up."
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Master Wen."
"I still have to ask General Bai for help. Especially when the formation is activated, you must be extra careful."
"Please rest assured, Lord County Magistrate!" Bai Lie patted his chest, full of confidence!
In order to make up for being exiled to the southeast, Lord Tian Heng would allocate a lot of credibility here every year. Although he did not have many subordinates, he allocated enough power of faith, and had sufficient resources on weekdays. Although the soldiers under his command were not as extraordinary as Lord Tian Heng's elite soldiers, most of them were first- or second-grade warriors, and their overall strength was among the best in the world.
To be honest, with this military strength, if there were no major changes on the Nanman side, he could rely on this army to destroy the Nanman.
Now he just needs to be on guard against those skinny people outside the door. He thinks that no big problems will arise.——
"Listen, southern barbarians down there!"
On the city gate, the deputy general was extremely excited after receiving the order, and shouted quickly: "Thanks to the mercy of the general and the superiors, we can temporarily take in the fleeing women, children and children, but listen carefully, we only take in women, children and children, and we will not take in children who are taller than the wheels. Do you understand?"
The deputy general's voice was as deafening as thunder, but to the ears of the sallow-faced people below, it was no less than the sound of nature.
One by one, they knelt down and kowtowed, crying loudly!
These days, they have become numb, without a glimmer of hope, and are always worried about being eaten by those terrible insects, especially those spider monsters, which are said to be extremely cruel. They will trap people in spider silk balls, melt your body with liquid, and then suck you up bit by bit. You are still alive during the whole process. This is what some rescued refugees said. When they mention it now, they are still terrified as if it were a nightmare.
What they fear most is that their own children will suffer such a terrible fate.
In fact, those Central Plains people on the city gate were kind enough. If they were in the Nanman city, let alone giving them food, not taking them as slaves would have been a great mercy!
Looking at the southern barbarians who were crying with joy and kowtowing to express their gratitude, Bai Lie and others felt mixed emotions.
People will only develop a kind heart when they have enough food and clothing and are wealthy enough. It was said before that the southern barbarians were barbaric and vicious, but this was mostly related to the lack of resources. Nowadays, the south of the Yangtze River is prosperous and peaceful, and very few cruel things happen. The reason is that everyone lives a good enough life.
Lord Chen Qing is truly like a savior. He has created a piece of pure land in such a chaotic world and has also given most people living here the kindness that humans should have.
"Activate the formation!"
"Yes"
Bai Lie turned around and went down to direct the soldiers' support, but many people did not notice that among those young and strong men who were kneeling and kowtowing, there were some people whose eyes had inexplicably strange colors, as colorful as the starry sky!
