Nongmen counterattack: I take my family to a well-off life

Chapter 79 Settlement of Refugees
After Wang Zheng heard this, he also understood his concerns. To be honest, he had already done a good job. He could be considered a qualified parent official if he could keep the people in the city under such circumstances.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask your lord." Wang Zheng said, then turned and walked towards the team.

Passing through the refugees, Wang Zheng came to Zhou Yue, "Fourth son, the county magistrate dare not open the city gate, for fear that the refugees would come to loot the city and disturb the people in the city."

Zhou Yue nodded and looked at the refugees in front of her. It was estimated that there were more than 1000 people.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Zhou Yue stood on the bullock cart, with a loudspeaker pinned to her waist, her loud voice pierced her ears, and the refugees stopped praying.

"Do you want to have a way out?" Zhou Yue asked.

"Yes! Of course I do! As long as I can survive, I'll do anything!" a man replied.

"Okay! I can arrange for you to enter the city, but you must promise not to rob food or harm the people in the city. I will ask the county magistrate to give you porridge every day so that you will not starve to death. Can you agree?" Zhou Yue knew them The main problem is the hungry stomach, as long as there is food, everything else is easy to talk about.

"Okay, we just want to live! Please, my lord, save us..." A man knelt down and responded loudly.

The other refugees knelt down and begged Zhou Yue to save them.

"Okay, I will tell the government officials in the county that if anyone makes trouble in the city, they will be beaten to death with sticks. I have given you a way to live. I hope you can cherish it." Zhou Yue warned them.

"Yes, we just want to live, have something to eat, and not make trouble."

"You should supervise each other. As long as one person dares to cause trouble in the city, everyone will have nothing to eat the next day. Think clearly about the consequences." Zhou Yue repeatedly emphasized that ruthless measures must be taken against these refugees, otherwise Can't live.

At this time, the refugees had no other choice. If they had food to eat, they could do whatever they wanted, and they all nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's make way, I'll go talk to the county magistrate." After Zhou Yue finished speaking, the refugees gave way to the team and followed their team to the city gate.

"Your Majesty the County Magistrate!" Zhou Yue said. Since she was still wearing a loudspeaker, the Magistrate was startled by the loud sound!
Noticing this, Zhou Yue turned off the loudspeaker.

"Master County Magistrate, I have already told the refugees that after you enter the city, you can just place them in a remote place, give them porridge every day, and I will provide the food. If anyone makes trouble, they will be beaten to death with sticks. Drop the food." Zhou Yue simply explained how to deal with it.

After hearing this, the county magistrate felt that the method was good. The most important thing was that they provided food. He had not dared to accept the refugees before. The most important thing was that there was not much food in the city, not enough to give porridge, so he could only provide it to the people in the city first.

"Okay!" The county magistrate agreed to Zhou Yue and told the soldier: "Open the door."

The soldiers immediately opened the door, and as the city gate slowly opened, the county magistrate also saw people outside.

A petite young man stood at the door. He looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old. Wang Zheng stood behind and to his right, showing great respect to the young man.

Could this boy be the son of some high-ranking official?
The county magistrate suppressed the doubts in his heart, and bowed his hands to Wang Zheng, "Master Wang, I will arrange for people to take the refugees to resettle here."

"Well, this is the Fourth Young Master, and the food is provided by the Fourth Young Master. You must take good care of the food and provide disaster relief." Wang Zheng introduced Zhou Yue and knocked on the county magistrate.

The county magistrate bowed to Zhou Yue, "Fourth son, don't worry, I, Liu Zhaoshan, will never use the relief food for other purposes. I guarantee it with my head."

Zhou Yue looked at the county magistrate. He was about 30 years old, with fair skin and clear eyes. He was a good official. Just because he could keep the people in the city, he was also a capable person.

"I believe in you, I will leave some food, I hope you can keep Qingyun County well." Zhou Yue said solemnly.

Liu Zhaoshan felt as if he had received a military order, his whole body tensed up, "Yes, I will definitely guard Qingyun County!"

The county magistrate arranged for the servants to take the refugees to the west of the city, where there are few people and they can live there.

"You choose a place to put the grain, and I'll arrange for someone to put the grain in." Zhou Yue said to the county magistrate.

"Yes, there is a granary in the city, and it is more than half empty now. You can put grain there." The county magistrate immediately said.

"Okay, then take me to have a look." Zhou Yue nodded, she had to step on it better, and put the food secretly.

The granary was not far from the city. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Zhou Yue saw the granary. There were four small granaries, three of which were open and empty, and the other was closed, so the situation inside could not be seen.

"Okay, I will arrange for someone to bring the food in, and it will be put away tomorrow morning." Zhou Yue said.

The county magistrate was very excited, food was very expensive at this time, this fourth young master didn't know why, so he gave it as soon as he asked.

"Thank you, Fourth Young Master!" The county magistrate cupped his hands in thanks.

Zhou Yue waved her hand, "County magistrate, please go back, we will stay in the city tonight."

"Let me arrange a place for the fourth son to live. The inn in our county is pretty good." County Magistrate Liu said proactively.

"No, we have tents and will be stationed together to avoid being separated and inconvenient." Zhou Yue rejected his proposal. There are many people in the city now. If they are separated, it is difficult to ensure their safety.

"I'll give you three bags of rice first, and you arrange someone to cook the porridge, and send it to the refugees in the west of the city as soon as possible!" Zhou Yue thought of those refugees, the faster the porridge was given, the easier it was for them to appease.

"Okay, I'll arrange for a few people to act immediately." Magistrate Liu also wanted to stabilize them as soon as possible to avoid riots.

Zhou Yue returned to the team and brought three bags of rice from the ox cart to the yamen servants, who took the rice and left in a hurry.

"Yueyue, shall we live in the city tonight?" Zhou Jiacheng asked.

"Yes, let's stay here tonight. We still set up tents together, so as not to spread out and make it difficult to manage." Zhou Yue replied.

Zhou Jiacheng nodded, "Okay, I'll go and tell them." After Zhou Jiacheng finished speaking, he went to talk to the villagers.

It was getting dark gradually, and every family started to cook. Zhou Yue took advantage of their cooking time to sneak out and came to the vicinity of the granary.

The granary was being guarded. Zhou Yue walked over and said, "Hey, you guys, please stay out of the way. My secret guards will be here soon to deliver the grain. It's not convenient for you here."

The guards knew this Fourth Young Master. The county magistrate had told them that the Fourth Young Master's people would come to deliver food and ask them to obey their orders. Unexpectedly, they turned out to be secret guards. This Fourth Young Master really had a lot of background.

Several people walked 100 meters away, with their backs facing the granary. Zhou Yue felt that it was almost done, and began to put grain into the granary.

Gradually, one granary was filled with rice, and Zhou Yue aimed at the second granary. Noodles were not easy to store here, and rice was more suitable.

The three empty granaries were all filled, and Zhou Yue called the guards back.
