Borrow the day to change the day

() Zhong Jinwei has never seen so many corpses with his own eyes since he came from the peaceful era. This is not at the same level as the visual effects seen on TV. I feel very uncomfortable. Listening to that person's sigh, I felt it for the first time. The catastrophic consequences brought about by Yuan Chonghuan, a big talker, are, yes, how many families have been ruined because of this.

He got off the horse, and led the horse forward silently, as a kind of respect for the dead, wishing them to be reborn in a peaceful and peaceful age soon.

No, I came here to change this era, to change everything, so that everyone can live in a house, eat food, and grow old, for sure!Must do!

Zhong Jinwei walked slowly and thought, and soon arrived at the boundary of Wang Gongchang. The outermost layer was guarded by the soldiers of the Wucheng Army Command Department, preventing the refugees inside from spreading to the entire capital.

At this time, Zhong Jinwei could roughly see the situation in the refugee camp clearly, and estimated that there were about 5 to [-] people in the entire refugee camp.

Most of the refugees sat huddled in the open air, warming themselves around some fires, which were not fired with firewood but with coal.There are also some people who are crowded in dilapidated and abandoned houses. It can be seen from the crowd extending outside that the people inside will only be more crowded, and there are also people at the foot of the wall.After all, it is now the legendary Little Ice Age, and the temperature is frighteningly low. At this time, even if it is just a wall, it can block the wind, which is a little better.

Although there were a lot of people, it was not noisy, only the weak scolding of some patrolling soldiers inside and the intermittent crying of children and babies.If it weren't for these sounds, people's first impression is that this is a huge lifeless place for human figure sculpture.

Zhong Jinwei walked over with a heavy heart, and the guarding soldiers stopped him: "What are you doing, don't go inside if you have nothing to do. There is nothing to see. If you want to buy someone, turn left from here, the row of houses in the People can choose whatever they want, and the price is cheap.”

Zhong Jinwei didn't have the slightest thought of losing his temper now, so he handed the horse to Gu Baichuan, and walked towards the row of houses that the soldier had mentioned.

Gu Baichuan was worried that Zhong Jinwei would pass by alone, so he showed the soldier's badge of Dongchang, and then signaled Wang Peng to hand over the three horses to them, so he took Wang Peng to catch up with Zhong Jinwei, and followed him. Guarded behind.

Zhong Jinwei quickly walked to the row of houses, which was densely packed with people. Hearing the sound of someone approaching, they all raised their heads and looked over.When they found out that they were not patrolling soldiers, they begged one after another:

"My lord, you bought me, I can work, I have great strength."

"Master, it's better for me. I eat less and work hard."

"Master, I used to be a carpenter and know how to do it. I bought it."

"Master, I don't want money, I just want a bite of food."

"..."

The voices were so noisy that Zhong Jinwei soon couldn't hear what they were saying clearly, only saw the begging expression on each of their faces, and their mouths were constantly opening and closing.

Zhong Jinwei's heart suddenly ached, he had seen such a bleak scene before.As for himself, even if he set up a street stall to make money by his own ability, he would not dare to do it, for fear of losing face and embarrassment.But now these people, just to survive, can sell themselves cheaply.Who doesn't want to live a good life!This is what life forces!

At the same time, he also understood why the urban management of Guochao had endless hawkers. Although they were not as unable to live as they are now, it was because of life!

There were too many people inside, Zhong Jinwei didn't dare to go in, so he turned around slowly and walked to the next room.Seeing that Zhong Jinwei left, the people inside were very disappointed and stopped asking for help, but there were still a few unwilling ones who continued to promote themselves and kept lowering their demands, hoping that Zhong Jinwei would turn back.

Second, the three houses are the same as the first house, and they are all relatively strong or skilled people.

The fourth house was filled with young and beautiful women, and the price at this time was a little cheaper than what Mr. Liang said.

Zhong Jinwei stopped going down, but walked around these houses and walked to the place where the refugees crowded in the open air.

Gu Baichuan and Wang Peng also followed silently, without saying a word.

The refugees in the open air are different from the ones in the house. Seeing Zhong Jinwei and the others walk by, they didn’t respond at all. They huddled there motionless, afraid that they would lose a little strength and make their stomachs even hungrier.The only reaction was to follow Zhong Jinwei's movements with his eyeballs.

It can be seen that many of these people sit in families.There are old and young, men and women.But there are not many old people and children.

There is not a lot of coal in the circle, so the heat provided is also very limited.It's fine during the day, but if it's night, I'm afraid many people will freeze to death.

Zhong Jinwei squatted down next to a seemingly gentle old man. The old man leaned against his son's arms, and his son was supposed to be back to back with his daughter-in-law. His daughter-in-law was holding a four or five-year-old boy in her arms, feeling heavy. fell asleep.

"Old man, how long have you been here?"

Before the old man could speak, his son said first, "Is there anything to eat?"

All the food was in Zhong Jinwei's stomach, and he didn't bring it with him. Zhong Jinwei was a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, he reached into his arms, touched a piece of silver, and handed it over.

"I didn't bring any food with me. With this little money, go and buy some food yourself."

In later generations, when Zhong Jinwei saw those beggars on the street, he would give them some money within his ability, until he knew that those beggars were basically professional beggars.

Now these are the real sufferers, Zhong Jinwei himself does not have to worry about food and drink, so naturally he will not be stingy with a little money.

When the young man saw it, he immediately reached out and grabbed it.

When the people around saw it, they also wanted to rush over to ask for money.

When Gu Baichuan saw that something was wrong, he immediately crossed in front of Zhong Jinwei, pulled out half of the knife in his waist, and said viciously: "Whoever dares to move around, be careful that the knife does not have eyes."

Those people looked at the shining blade and sat there unwillingly.But he was still begging: "Master, please do me a favor, we haven't eaten for a long time, we are hungry and cold, please give me some."

"Shut up, it's up to you whether you give it or not. If anyone wants to make any more noise, I know you, but the knife doesn't know you."

Although Zhong Jinwei has the heart, but with so many people, there is nothing he can do.

After calming down, Gu Baichuan stepped back behind Zhong Jinwei.

The young man still suspected that he was dreaming, and held the ingot of silver tightly, for fear that the silver would disappear if he woke up suddenly.

His wife also heard the movement, and turned around holding the child.He suddenly freed a hand and hugged his wife, and the family of four was tightly hugged by him, and tears welled up in the eyes of the young and strong man: "We are saved, we can live! "

The people around looked at the family silently, not knowing whether it was jealousy or blessing for the family.

The child woke up too, and the first thing he said when he woke up was: "Mom, I'm hungry."

His mother didn't speak, but hugged the child tightly, and the tears also turned into beads, falling on the child's face.

At this time, Zhong Jinwei discovered that these people actually have feelings, not the kind of wood carvings.

The old man struggled to get up from his son's arms, and wanted to kowtow to Zhong Jinwei. When his son and daughter-in-law saw him, they also kowtowed with the child.

Zhong Jinwei couldn't afford to be an old man kneeling for himself, so he quickly supported him, feeling sore in his heart.The old man supported him, but his son and daughter-in-law both knelt down and respectfully kowtowed to Zhong Jinwei.

The old man spoke first: "The grace of the young master's life, the whole family will not forget it, and they are willing to work as cattle and horses for the young master to repay the kindness."

The old man saw the ingot of silver, and he saw that it was about ten taels of official silver.Such a large sum of money was given away casually.He knew that this son, the family will not be short of money, and he has a good heart. Now that his family has nothing, it will not be wrong to follow him.

Zhong Jinwei repeatedly said no.If you really want to buy servants, in the house over there, you can buy a lot of strong men and beautiful women with just the ingot of silver just now.

The old man relied on Zhong Jinwei for life and death, and his son was secretly a little surprised. With this money, it should not be a big problem to start a new family business. Why did his father insist on being a slave?But thinking about it, I dare not speak out against it face to face.

With the old man's repeated insistence, Zhong Jinwei also thought that besides the maidservant, he must hire other types of people in his house, so he agreed.

Seeing that Zhong Jinwei agreed, the old man was very happy, took the initiative to answer Zhong Jinwei's previous questioning, and introduced the situation to him: "Young master, we people have been here for two months. After hearing that the Tartars called , and fled to the capital. After the capital is under martial law, people behind will not be able to enter again."

The old man also sighed a little, looked around, and then said: "After the Tartars left, many people here have left the city. Those of us left behind are all around the capital, and the most ravaged by the Tartars In this place, the family has nothing left, and if we go back, we will freeze to death and starve to death, so we can only stay here, hoping that the imperial court will settle us down and survive this winter."

"Then how did the court arrange it?"
