Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 69 Goodwill
The smoke was not in the village, but outside the village. Thousands of refugees were orderly. Behind the stove, about fifty young men stood silently holding spears.

After looking at it for a while, Dou Gui frowned and asked, "Only a few dozen young guards?"

"Mr. Dou, please take a look." Li Shan said softly: "The refugees are young and strong, with 50 people as a team, and two young and strong from the village as the leader."

After a pause, Li Shan explained softly, "If the refugees make trouble, they must communicate secretly. The young and strong in the village are by their side, and there is no secret communication, so it is difficult to cause chaos."

Dou Gui sneered and shook his head, "There's no guarantee."

Li Ganyou on the side smiled and said, "Any arrangement is up to you."

"The young and strong refugees go to work every day, and they are quite tired. They eat three meals a day, but they only have breakfast and lunch to fill their stomachs." Li Shan said softly, "At night, they only eat porridge and rice to satisfy their hunger."

The meaning of this sentence is obvious. It is impossible for young and strong refugees not to eat enough to work, but they can work if they eat enough during the day. If they don’t eat enough at night and are tired, they must fall asleep early, which is very big. To a certain extent, the possible threat of young refugees to Zhujiagou was reduced.

"A team of 50 refugees, two people are selected every day, and a bowl of meat."

"Strictly make noise at night, if there is a disturbance, you will be expelled immediately."

Li Shan's slow and orderly narration, each one is very targeted, and each one has something to say.

Dou Gui smiled lightly: "Seeing the big from the small, it is worthy of the King Qin's praise."

"But it should be more than that, let's talk and listen."

Li Shan hesitated, coughed twice, "The elders in the village are benevolent and allow refugees to shelter outside the village, and even children to enter the village."

Dou Gui was startled, turned his head and glanced at Li Ganyou, his eyes collided with each other, and he knew it all at once.

The refugees all came from Hedong and Guannei Road. The government seldom provides disaster relief these days. Even aristocratic families do their best to provide disaster relief. These refugees always take their children with them and never leave them. Naturally, they attach great importance to them.

Li Shan sent those children into the village. To put it mildly, he was benevolent, but to put it harshly, he was taking them as hostages.

Li Ganyou didn't care about this, but he valued Li Shan's young age, proper handling of things, and thorough consideration.

But Dou Gui greatly appreciated Li Shan's move, and asked with a smile: "It's so benevolent, no wonder there are eminent monks living in Dongshan Temple."

Li Shan squinted his eyes and replied: "Bodhisattvas have the virtue of loving life, but if they encounter misconduct, they will also use thunderbolt methods."

In fact, the management of these refugees is very easy. Li Shan established good rules. He walked through the process with his entourage on the first day, and basically ignored it on the fourth day.

On the one hand, the refugees rebelled, mainly led by bandits, and the refugees themselves were just trying to survive.

On the other hand, Li Shan killed chickens and monkeys, and those refugees were one of those monkeys. Of the 92 bandits, 36 died, and the rest were beheaded regardless of their injuries.

Those who dug the pit, carried the corpse, and buried the soil were all these refugees, and they were already trembling.

Watching Dou Gui and Li Qianyou leave, Li Shan silently paced back and forth among the weeds with his head down. He clearly felt Li Qianyou's kindness towards him, but why?
In terms of close relationship, Li Kai is closer to himself, and Li Zhaode still doesn't know his identity.

And Li Ganyou is under the command of King Qi, and he has close contacts with the children of King Qin's family, and he has been praised by Li Shimin.

Touching his nose, Li Shan smiled wryly and shook his head. In any case, he had to pass the Chang'an county government.

Zhu Wei also went to inquire in the past two days. Zhu Ba also met Wu Zhong yesterday. He didn't hear the news of Li Dewu's appointment as Chang'an county captain, but he did find out that there was indeed a vacancy in the Chang'an county government.

If Li Dewu is really the county captain of Chang'an, then if he wants to take the imperial examination to become an official, Li Qianyou's line cannot be broken.

Back home with a lot of worries, Li Shan was still thinking hard, and the scolding sound of coquettishness sounded in the room.

"Huh?" Li Shan frowned and looked, Xiaoman was reprimanding two eight or nine-year-old girls with his hips on his arms.

"Lang Jun is back." Xiaoman stepped forward to help Li Shan undress, but he still refused to forgive him, "I just dropped the inkstone because of my rough hands and feet."

Li Shan didn't say a word, and glanced at the two little girls, wearing coarse clothes, looking shy, with tears on their faces, their hair was slightly yellow, they looked very thin, but they had delicate features.

Refugees from outside the village brought more than 200 children, many of whom were orphans. Zhu Wei specially selected four of them to serve them today. Li Shan really didn't want them...but etiquette comes first, and the elders dare not give up. .

"How was it arranged?"

"One of them is literate and arranged in the study."

"There are still people who can read?" Li Shan was a little surprised. Women who can read in this era cannot be from poor families.

"Fenzhou Renshi, Hedong Road, 14 years old, was destroyed by the Turks, and his mother fled south with him and the youngest son." Xiaoman said angrily, "Uncle Qi didn't pick her, he jumped out by himself."

Li Shan glanced at Xiaoman, he was quite crisis-conscious, so can we change to cheese tonight?
"Didn't you pick four?"

"The other three... are not as tall as the stove, so they can't go to the cooking room."

"Then you can take care of it." Li Shan didn't bother to care about these trivial matters, "Set the meal."

Not long after, two maidservants came in with all kinds of dishes, and the servant also went to invite Zhou Zhaolai.

Zhou Zhao, regardless of other things, is indeed talented and capable of being a director. Li Shan set the rules, and Zhou Chao checked and filled in the gaps and gave advice to the villagers. It was also very hard these few days.

Of course, the mouth was still the same as that of a bird. As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Zhao frowned, "In a certain month, I taught scriptures with ten pennies. I'm so tired these days, and I don't have any wine?"

Li Shan pointed his chin at the table blankly, and said concisely: "There is braised pork."

Zhou Zhao's face turned pale immediately, he glanced at it and turned his head away, he vomited after enduring it...

When the bandits came that day, Li Shan said casually that Lao Fan really stuffed a pot of pork into Zhou Zhao's mouth.

Then...then Zhou Zhao managed to slow down, and when he went out, he ran into the young man in the village who was beheading the captives, vomiting in the dark.

At this moment, Changan Order Li Ganyou had already returned to the county government office, got off his horse and entered the door. A middle-aged man hurried out and saluted, "See you, Shangguan."

"You are Pei Xiangkuai's son-in-law, Li Dewu?" Li Qianyou nodded and smiled, "The post of county lieutenant has been vacant for two months. Since you have filled it, you should do your best."

"The Shangguan presides over it, and the subordinates will follow it." Li Dewu bowed respectfully again, singing praises, he is a sensible person, the Danyang family of the Li family in Longxi, even in the former dynasty, is still a powerful family that he cannot reach.

Li Ganyou had something on his mind, so he sent him away with a few pleasantries, and went into the backyard by himself, "Da Lang, haven't you been to Zhujiagou these days?"

Li Zhaode has been helping the county government these days, which is also one of the reasons why most of the children of the aristocratic family can make a difference after they become officials. Hearing this, he wondered: "These days my father is busy, how can my child have time?"

Seeing that Li Qianyou remained silent, Li Zhaode thought for a while, "I went there a few times before the refugees outside the city broke up, sometimes with Brother Seven, sometimes with Brother Xiaoqing, but later..."

Later, Li Shan and the children of the Prince of Qin's family had a fierce fight, Li Kai didn't care, but Li Zhaode was a child of the Prince of Qi's house after all, so naturally it was not easy to get together.

After a moment of silence, Li Ganyou ordered in a low voice, "It's your birthday in five days, so please invite your friends to get together."

The past and the present are the same, birthdays are naturally meant to invite friends to get together, but Li Qianyou specifically mentioned it, and of course Li Zhaode knew that he was referring to Li Shan.

After thinking for a while, Li Zhaode bowed to answer, and added: "I also ask my father to show me."
