Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 898 : Chapter 355 Smallpox

"Master, there are eleven in total."

"Eleven..."

In Zhang Shouren's hand, he whipped the whip in the air, which frightened all the Fushan people present to tremble.

At the beginning of the military training, my lord, the military sticks and small leather whips were never forgiving, and the members of the old pro-Ding team brought out with one hand may still have the scars of these whips and military sticks on their bodies.

But Zhang Shouren put down the whip anyway, there were already various regulations and military laws in Fushan, so there was no need for him, the general, to do it himself. [

"Porridge shops need to be added. There are 10,000+ refugees. Eleven porridge shops are not saving people, but harming people, hanging their lives, and giving people an illusory hope to keep people from making trouble. Twice sooner or later, don't do it, don't do it. Yes, tens of thousands of people lined up, squeezed to death, those who were dragged thinner and then starved to death, and those who died of freezing. Over a hundred corpses were pushed out of the city every day. You were also children of poor families a year ago. Just ask yourself , you are a little slack and negligent, so many people have died, they are all good people with families and mouths, how can you bear it?"

Most of these refugees came from Hebei or Henan. Those who came from Henan were old acquaintances. In the past few years, Henan has been plagued by nine disasters. Many refugees have entered Shandong. Many people have been in Jinan for several years. They took over the hard work in and out of the city.

But they are foreigners, a house in the city, three or four shabby rooms cost dozens of taels, the villages in the countryside are not where people with foreign surnames want to live, and even the houses in the countryside have risen a lot due to inflation over the years A set of small farmyards can only be purchased for four or fifty taels of silver at least.

Unable to settle down, they are always like floating weeds with no roots and no foundation. They usually earn some hard money, but in the cold winter months, they have no work and no money to save, so they can only go to the porridge factory to get porridge together, and get by by luck. It's been a winter, and the family will continue to work hard in the second year. If they can live a year, it is a year.

Most of the people from Hebei are newcomers who escaped from the war.

At that time, China was still a standard small-scale peasant society, and the local consciousness was still relatively strong. When the locals were in trouble, they could not neglect it.

This kind of backwardness in thinking is not good for people to talk about. After all, agricultural society and civil society are two different things. Besides, the Chinese are not bad enough. It is rare in any society that it is as difficult as one's own relatives.

However, the refugees crowded in front of several porridge factories, and this caused serious problems.

Overcrowded people die, and the weak cannot receive porridge and starve to death. There are tens of hundreds of people every day. In addition, when people are crowded, they will get sick. Fortunately, it is the middle of winter, and those epidemic madness can't spread. Otherwise, the fun would be great.

If Zhang Shouren knew that the Qing soldiers had escaped from smallpox because he blocked them outside the city, he really didn't know what expression he would make.

"The next officer knows I was wrong."

After being taught a lesson by Zhang Shouren, these subordinates also showed shame.After all, he came from a simple farmer and military family, and his identity as the most inferior person was ingrained in his bones. The days of being bullied hadn't passed long, and Zhang Shouren's words easily moved them.

Even the gentry of the Jinan Fuzhong Headquarters also showed shame.
