Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 243

Sound can travel [-] meters per second in the air. If Gao Jingzong's order travels at the speed of sound, it will take more than ten minutes for the order to reach Sui County. In fact, Gao Jingzong's order is transmitted much slower than the speed of sound.Even if it reaches Sui County, it will take nearly three days, and the Sui County Government Affairs Department will take at least three to five days to implement it.

When Gao Jingzong's emergency measures were issued, the tragedy had already happened.

Outside the city of Sui County, there were bursts of heart-piercing crying, and gradually the crying became louder and louder, slowly converging into an overwhelming mourning song.

The ox carts moved slowly, and from time to time, refugees carried the bodies of refugees who had frozen to death and threw them on the ox cart. After a while, the ox cart had piled up into hills.

Zheng Shishi, who had been having nightmares all night, brought the second daughter of Hongxiu Tianxiang with her, and came outside the city early in the morning under the protection of dozens of personal guards.Although Gao Jingzong thought of many ways to solve the problem of protecting the refugees from the cold, due to the delay in the action, thousands of people still died of freezing.

Zheng Shishi's eyes could no longer shed tears, and Hongxiu Tianxiang's second daughter also had reddish eyes, as if she had cried.Suddenly, they heard a heart-piercing cry of a girl, and they all stopped in their tracks.On the side of the road not far away, a yellow and skinny girl was throwing herself on a dead old man and crying loudly: "No, no! Don't take my mother away! Don't take my mother away!"

Seeing this scene, Zheng Shishi couldn't help crying.At this moment, teams of urban management began to appear among the victims, and a young man with white beard and hair (Frost) shouted loudly: "Stop crying, hurry up, move to the place if you don't want to." Go to the trenches!"

The yellow and skinny girl kowtowed three times to her mother's corpse, then, with trembling hands, tore off the clothes from the corpse, and put them on herself.

Seeing this scene, Hongxiu flew into a rage: "Baby maid, are you still human!" As he spoke, he drew out his sword and was about to assassinate the girl.

Zheng Shishi stretched out her hand to stop her, sighed and said, "Forget it, it's all for survival!"

"To survive!"

"To survive!"

Hongxiu Tianxiang's two daughters felt even more grief and indignation when they heard this.

In order to survive, these common people exploded the potential in their bodies, and even crawled into the trenches, traffic roads, or artillery holes that were transformed into nests, and even the bunkers were full of people.However, what made Hongxiu Tianxiang very dissatisfied was that Gao Jingzong's order of "not supporting idlers" was taken to the extreme.

Trenches, traffic ditches, and bunkers were all converted into production workshops, and even some old people and children who could not do heavy work went to spinning, weaving, or cutting and sewing.

It turned out that Chen Ying, a profiteer, fell in love with the huge human resources of the Beifu army. When he was in Feng County, Gao Jingzong ordered the purchase of military uniforms. The finished black cloth was also purchased in large quantities.In ancient China, there was a small-scale peasant economy in which men farmed and women weaved. Under this economic system, the common people were a small economy with households as the unit, and a family was almost a miniature country.

The common people organized by Chen Ying and Cui Cheng mainly engaged in weaving, cutting and sewing for women, while young and middle-aged men did heavy physical labor.For example, making weapons or heating stoves made by Gao Jingzong.

Don't look at the heating stove with almost no technical content in later generations, but it has caused countless craftsmen a headache in this era. The key is that the iron sheet is not easy to make.Fortunately, what Chinese working people lack most is wisdom.After the craftsmen figured out the purpose of Gao Jingzong's iron sheet, they quickly found a substitute for the iron sheet - pottery pipe.

Just ten days after the official operation of the garment factory in Daying, Suixian County, the uniforms of the soldiers of the Beifu Army had been changed.As long as the soldiers of the Beifu army can at least get a set of black uniforms, although there are still quite a few summer clothes, they are also unified.

With the full implementation of Gao Jingzong's emergency policy, incidents of freezing to death and frostbite have rarely occurred.However, more than [-] soldiers and civilians from the Beifu Army were frozen to death, and tens of thousands were frostbitten. Gao Jingzong was so sad that he didn't eat for a whole day.

Looking at the food that had been reheated six times, Xie Daoyun looked at the weeping Wei Dafu and said, "Leave it to me!"

Xie Daoyun brought the food to Gao Jingzong: "Please eat!"

Gao Jingzong shouted without raising his head: "Don't eat, take it away!"

Xie Daoyun didn't talk nonsense, turned around and walked outside the tent. After a while, there was a sound of "crash..." dishes breaking outside the tent.

Xie Daoyun went away again with a tray of money, still with a simple one or two words: "please eat"

"Take it, take it, how many times have I told you!" Gao Jingzong raised his head, looked at Xie Daoyun in astonishment and said, "There is no need to waste food, the governor is not hungry!"

Xie Daoyun remained calm, turned and left again.After a while, the sound of dishes breaking came from outside the tent again.

Xie Daoyun entered again with a warm and angry face.Before he could speak, Gao Jingzong said: "My little aunt, don't fall, forget about being afraid of you, you have ruined so much food, forget about being afraid of you, can I still eat it?"

Xie Daoyun turned pale with shock: "You, you...you know everything?"

Gao Jingzong took the food and asked, "Know what?"

Xie Daoyun said nervously: "I, my identity!"

"Zhu Yingting? No!" Gao Jingzong smiled instead of anger, "You should be called Zhu Yingtai, right?"

Xie Daoyun paused slightly.

Gao Jingzong said again: "Since you are Zhu Yingtai, it's a pity that this governor is not Liang Shanbo, but you should be a daughter, right?"

Hearing this, Xie Daoyun was relieved instead.Knowing that she is a daughter is not terrible, but what is terrible is that once her identity as the Xie family of Chen Jun is exposed, it will not be a good thing for Gao Jingzong.Once Langya Wang knew what Gao Jingzong had to do with him, he might not let it go.Wang Ningzhi is not as generous as his father.

Gao Jingzong said: "The clerk of the governor, why don't you have to investigate, what is your intention behind you pretending to be Zhu Yingting?"

Xie Daoyun straightened her chest and said displeasedly, "What do you want?"

"I don't want to do anything, he doesn't deserve you!" Gao Jingzong resisted not eating, but he was already hungry. He ate rice and muttered in his mouth: "He really doesn't deserve you, you Marrying him is destined to be a tragedy!"

"I want you to take care of it!" Xie Daoyun thought that the "he" Gao Jingzong said was referring to Wang Ningzhi, and Xie Daoyun was very pleased with her words. She said duplicity: "Who are you to me?"

Gao Jingzong put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said seriously: "I mean it, he is not good enough for you."

Xie Daoyun asked, "Is it related to you?"

"Yes!" Gao Jingzong said: "If I didn't come to meet you, you have nothing to do with me. If I meet you, naturally I have something to do with me. I know that it is a fire pit, how could I let you jump into it again?" Woolen cloth!"

Xie Daoyun said: "Aren't you afraid of the family behind him?"

"Hmph!" Gao Jingzong said, "I'm afraid, why not, but I'm more afraid that you will die from depression."

"I'm even more afraid that you will die from depression!" These words were like a heavy hammer, smashing the weakest thing deep in Xie Daoyun's heart.

But Xie Daoyun didn't know, it was just a beautiful misunderstanding, Gao Jingzong didn't know Xie Daoyun's real identity at all, all he knew was Zhu Yingtai.When Gao Jingzong said he was not afraid, he did not mean that he was not afraid of Wang Ningzhi, but that he was not afraid of Ma Wencai.As the son of a prefect, Gao Jingzong has no need to be afraid.

Although Gao Jingzong is not a noble prince, at least he is not something that a mere prefect of a county can provoke.

When Gao Jingzong learned that Xie Daoyun was actually Wang Ningzhi, the second son of the Great Book Sage and Right General Wang Xizhi, Gao Jingzong regretted it.
