Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 142 I want to resist!

Therefore, the people in Jin did not see sweet potatoes at all. Zhu Tuo wanted to let the people in Jin have enough food, so he planned to send people to the capital to pick some sweet potatoes, and then plant them in large quantities in Jin.

When Zhu Tuo heard this, he patiently said to Mr. Zhang: "Sweet potatoes are a very good crop. They are not only cold-resistant, easy to grow, and very productive. The soil in Shanxi is very poor, and there are often natural disasters. In the end, The right one is sweet potato!”

"To be honest, as long as sweet potatoes spread in Jin, it won't take many years for the entire Jin country to have food. As the prince of the Ming Dynasty, I can guarantee that there will be no problems."

When Zhang Lao heard this, the expression on his face suddenly relaxed a lot, and he continued: "What does that sweet potato taste like?"

"It tastes delicious and fragrant. It's simply better than wheat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. If this thing really exists, the people of Jin will be able to live a good life."

"Yes." Wang Yao said.

Afterwards, Zhu Tuo finished handling the affairs of the Shunping Mansion, put all the [-] soldiers of the Jinyiwei into refugee clothes, and then set off for Taiyuan Mansion without any delay, rushing overnight.

Three days later, they arrived at Taiyuan City.

When they arrived in Taiyuan, Zhu Tuo divided the [-] Jinyi guards into several groups, disguised themselves as refugees, tied them with iron chains, and sent them to Taiyuan under the leadership of the government officials.

Taiyuan is now very large, including Taiyuan, Jinzhong, and Yangquan, all in the center of the Jin Kingdom.

Because this Taiyuan Prefecture is of great importance, the city of Taiyuan is obviously more tightly guarded. There are passes along the way and there are city guards checking.

However, Zhu Tuo and the others were well prepared and did not make any mistakes.

The official named Ma Quan said to Zhu Tuo carefully: "Your Majesty, ahead is the gathering area for refugees.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Yes." Zhu Tuo nodded, and seeing Ma Quan looking very respectful, he cursed: "You are a refugee, I am a refugee, why do you respect me so much?"

"Yes, yes." Ma Quan bowed in response.

"Stand tall, hold your head high, and show yourself as a servant!"

When Ma Quan heard this, he immediately sat upright, and when he saw Zhu Tuo, he immediately languished, and said with a smile on his face, "My lord, you are standing here, no matter how you look at it, you are not a refugee, but a powerful prince."

Zhu Tuo grinned: "You're right."

Although Zhu Tuo and his capable guards had put on shabby clothes and even specially applied a layer of dust on their bodies, they did not look like refugees.

Fortunately, Ma Quan is also a smart man. He has been doing things secretly along the way without revealing any flaws.

"Although I am a talented person, my demeanor is extraordinary. You have to pretend to be aloof, do you understand?"

"I remember."

Taiyuan officials went around arresting refugees, but because they wanted to maintain the stability of Taiyuan City, they would not imprison these people in Taiyuan.

A military camp was built more than [-] kilometers west of Taiyuan City to receive refugees sent from various states of Jin.

Ma Quan brought Zhu Tuo and several others to the front of the military camp. The sergeant was startled when he saw the horse. He said, "Ma Quan, who are you? I am a refugee sent by Shunping Prefecture. Do you think you just arrived a while ago and another group came this time?"

Ma Quan hurriedly laughed: "Leader Li, didn't you have another group of people here?
Team leader Li nodded and his eyes fell on Zhu Tuo and others. These people were all strong and strong, in sharp contrast to the usually thin refugees.

Bantou Li touched his head and said in confusion: "In the past, it was only women and children. Why are they all young and middle-aged today?"

Ma Quan had been mentally prepared for a long time and said nonsense: "The women and children were all killed before arriving in Taiyuan, leaving only a few young adults, but we are just guards, no matter what What more?"

"Makes sense."

Captain Li nodded, glanced around, and spotted Lu Qing among the crowd. He smiled and said, "I see he is quite handsome and has good skin. I will take him to Mr. Cheng's place later, like this This kind of energetic young man is Mr. Cheng's favorite."

Hearing this, Zhu Tuo looked at Lu Qing and laughed dumbly.

Team leader Li also laughed, his eyes fell on Zhu Tuo, and he stretched out his hand and pointed: "It's just you." "What did I do?" Zhu Tuo said with eyes wide open.

"Ma Quan, look at this handsome man, with an aura of calmness and authority. I think Mr. Feng is like this. Mr. Feng has an eccentric personality and is relatively passive, so I will let him find trouble.

"You..." Zhu Tuo was startled, and was about to yell at him when Lu Qing grabbed him.

Ma Quan was startled by this sudden turn of events and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Getting out of bed is not something everyone can think of.

With King Su's temper, he could even kill Mr. Feng's little brother.

Ma Quan secretly put the money into his pocket, and reminded in a low voice, "We are all from the Yamen, and we are protecting the refugees. Captain Li, please do me a favor."

Captain Li weighed the banknotes in his hand in his mind, immediately narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, all go to the military camp."

When they arrived at the military camp, they were all shocked to see the detailed scene inside.

The tent in front of me is really simple to the extreme.

There is only an open space of more than ten square kilometers here, surrounded by a large group of refugees. It is estimated that there are at least more than 1000 people.

Crowds of people.

There are no houses in the camp, only a few tents. It is spring and the nights are very cold. The refugees can only huddle together to keep warm.

In addition, refugees are only allowed to enter and cannot leave. All food is served in the military camp. The environment here is very dirty and exudes an unpleasant smell.

"Your Majesty, if we were in Lingnan, the pig pens of common people would be so clean and spacious. Even if there was a serious illness, more than 1000 people would not be able to escape."

"Humans are worse than pigs and dogs." Zhu Tuo's eyes flashed with coldness and he walked directly into the military camp.

"Your Majesty, your body is very good, but your heart is very soft."

“Why aren’t civilians afraid of being dirty?”

Zhu Tuosi didn't care about the mess here. After entering, he looked around.

More than a dozen people clustered around him, escorting him.

"Now we can only eat one bowl of porridge a day, which is very little. If we continue to eat like this, we will starve to death."

"Well, it's good to have food. I heard a lot of people are starving."

I don’t know who it is, but I looked up at the sky and said in a low voice: "What do you think we are being detained here for? More than half a month has passed now, and my wife and children are gone."

"I don't know." Chen Zhao shook his head.

The two fell into a long silence again.

Zhu Tuo looked at this scene, took a step forward, and said, "How long have you been here?"

"Yeah." Wang Yao said.A refugee watched Zhu Tuo walk in and said, "We have been here for more than a month. At first we had three meals a day, then two meals, and now we only eat one meal."

"How did they deal with you?"

"no."

Zhu Tuo frowned, what's going on?
"I haven't finished eating yet. I just have some food here." Zhu Tuo took out a piece of meat and put it on the ground.
