Chapter 215
Taishi Ci and Sun Qian led the team to continue to move towards Tanghai County.
Waiting for Liu Yu, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to catch up.
Three thousand cavalry, two thousand infantry and three thousand civilians, carrying various carts, pulling money and supplies, passed through various counties.
The county governors and county magistrates along the way were jealous.
But they did not dare to have any other ideas.
Whether it was those strong cavalry, sharp weapons in their hands, or excellent armor on their bodies, they did not dare to go forward to search for a little oil and water.
They were afraid that they would not be able to come back after going.
They would be blackmailed by those powerful cavalry passing by for a lot of food and grass.
The name of Tanghai County, which was unknown to the people of the world before, became well-known to the people in all the counties along the way.
Such elite cavalry was even more elite than the imperial guards in Luoyang.
They remembered that place deeply.
And the place where the Tanghai team passed by, I don’t know when it started.
A rumor appeared in the streets.
If you have no food to eat, go to Tanghai; follow the county magistrate and grow food; eat enough and live in a new house; wait to return home and marry a bride.
Such a set of words like a jingle, no one knows where it came from, and it spread among the people in an instant.
It spread all over the streets and alleys overnight as if it had wings.
Along the way where the Tanghai team passed, the county magistrates also heard this rumor, but they didn't take it seriously.
Although the Tanghai soldiers were well-armed.
After all, it was located in Youzhou, such a remote place, how could it be rich.
And eat enough and live in a new house.
Small landlords would not dare to say such arrogant words, right?
The county magistrates shook their heads again and again.
The rumors in the streets must have been made up by some idle and bored Confucian scholar.
It is unbelievable.
However, many people along the way had thoughts.
Not only was the rainfall bad in those years, but the land annexation was also extremely cruel.
The clans and wealthy families in various places did not leave any way for ordinary people to survive.
In addition, the Yellow Turban Rebellion caused more and more levies from the government.
It was about to become the last straw that broke the camel's back.
This made many desperate people want to go to Tanghai County to make a living.
Anyway, they couldn't survive in the local area.
If they could follow the Tanghai County Magistrate to open up wasteland and cultivate the land, and have some preserved fruits and food, it would be considered a victory.
If that side was not as the rumors said.
At worst, they would die there.
There was nothing to miss in these miserable days.
Let's die.
Perhaps it was a kind of relief.
However, the people who did not have much surplus food to eat dragged their families to the north.
They begged for food along the way, and then dug some wild vegetables to fill their stomachs.
They stuffed everything they could eat into their stomachs.
I just hope I can hold on to Tanghai County.
See with my own eyes whether the legendary place looks like what the rumors describe.
More and more people along the way began to rush to Tanghai County.
The government noticed this.
However, the local governments seemed to have a tacit understanding after communication.
None of them stopped the ragged people.
The refugees who lost their homes and food are an irregular threat in the local area.
I don’t know when it will break out.
If they stay here, they may be coerced by the Yellow Turbans and become the military force to attack the county.
Let them flee to the north, even if they starve to death there, it can be regarded as calming down a riot.
The county magistrates secretly told the officials not to stop the people going north and let them fend for themselves.
This approach also allows the refugees to pass through various counties very quickly.
Originally, they hid during the day and went out at night.
On the way, they found that the government officials had clearly discovered them, but did not come forward to question them.
This made the refugees more and more bold.
After trying several times, they found that the government did not intercept them at all.
They became bolder and directly formed a team and headed north.
"Zi Yi!" Sun Qian ran back from the back of the team and said breathlessly: "Hundreds of refugees are chasing us from behind!"
Taishi Ci replied straightforwardly: "Let the people join the team first."
He looked up at the sky.
"It's almost noon. Tell the team to stop and let the soldiers lead the newly arrived people to find a small river to wash them clean."
"I'll tell other soldiers to cook."
"Give the newly arrived refugees some rice porridge."
"Okay, let's act separately." Sun Qian replied, turned around and ran.
Before arriving at Tanghai County, he had already started working.
It made Sun Qian feel that he finally had a place to use his skills.
All the work is done actively.
Full of energy.
The team is from Donglai andThe young men in the Qingzhou government also helped.
Through Taishi Ci's explanations along the way, they had a preliminary understanding of Tanghai County.
The various situations described by Taishi Ci were the favorite things of the young men after dinner and before resting at night.
They deeply realized that there was such a magical place in this world.
It was completely different from the county town they knew before.
Not to mention anything else, just one thing, all the land belonged to the government, which made them exclaim.
The county magistrate led everyone to farm, and then the government made a unified distribution.
Strive to make every citizen of Tanghai County have enough food.
Just this can make all ordinary people work like crazy.
Nothing is more convincing than food.
After a while of walking, the young men in Donglai and Qingzhou have long been looking forward to Tanghai County.
Hope to arrive soon.
The refugees who had just caught up with the team were so excited that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed when they heard Taishi Ci say that he could provide them with rice porridge and preserved fruits.
They had never seen such a good government before.
Not to mention providing rice porridge, not taking away their last bit of food and forcing them to sign a contract to sell themselves was already a good government.
Under Taishi Ci's instructions, the refugees ran to the stream and washed themselves clean according to the orders of the Tanghai soldiers.
They also used boiling hot water to cook clothes.
The long hair was shaved off directly. Although it became shorter, it was clean and refreshing, without any dirt.
Although shaving hair was unacceptable to the ancients.
But they were already starving, and ordinary people didn't care so much.
Giving food to eat, shaving hair was nothing.
The most important thing was to survive!
The sharp knife skills of the Tanghai soldiers dealt with the refugees neatly.
After washing, the refugees were still wearing ragged clothes, some of them were even naked.
But they were much cleaner and tidier.
Not as dirty as before.
At the request of Tang Hai's soldiers, the refugees lined up in an orderly manner, staring at the steaming iron pots.
The aroma of rice porridge stimulated their taste buds and made them look forward to it.
…
In the wilderness, Liu Bei drove his horse forward.
He had replenished sufficient supplies from Zhuo County, and although he could no longer command the cavalry from Luoyang, he relied on his current official position to win over many local brothers.
