Chapter 167 A Pinch of Clear and Silly Onions

Before Li Ji arrived at the refugee camp center, Jian Yong and Jia Xu, who heard the news about Li Ji, hurried over to welcome him.

Jian Yong, who used to always pay attention to his image and act in a somewhat free and easy manner, now seems to be in line with the rules even if he blends into the refugee group.

It can be imagined that Jian Yong was busy and hardworking during this period. When he looked at Jian Yong, even the bloodshot eyes were clearly visible.

When Li Ji saw this, he directly supported Jian Yong without waiting to salute Jian Yong who came forward. He didn't mind that Jian Yong was covered in dirt and spoke first.

"Xianhe, I've worked hard for you during this time, so I won't have to do those common etiquette."

If it were Gu Yong, he would still behave politely no matter how tired he was.

Li Ji's concern was concern, and as a subordinate official, he must not fail in his etiquette, which would become the reason for criticism or hostility in the future.

However, Jian Yong, who has a free and honest temperament, did not refuse, but instead complained to Li Jida.

"Mr. Zikun, you must relocate these more than 200,000 refugees as soon as possible, and you are still transporting refugees from the north bank of the Yangtze River. It won't take long for the number of refugees gathered here to reach 300,000. So much."

"Don't worry Xianhe, I have made a decision on this matter. I am here to solve the problem of the whereabouts of the refugees." Li Ji responded in a tone that made Jian Yong feel at ease.

"That's good, that's good."

Although Jian Yong didn't know how Li Ji could arrange such a large number of refugees, as Li Ji said this, he felt that the pressure had subsided a lot.

Immediately, Li Ji just looked in the direction of Jia Xu.

Jia Xu, who usually behaves like a gentle gentleman, now looks quite embarrassed and has a lot of mud on his body.

But Li Ji looked at Jia Xu's fingernails, behind her ears, hair roots and eyes, and found that unlike Jian Yong who was really embarrassed, Jia Xu's behavior was purely to avoid being too abruptly clean, and he was probably cleaning himself up on purpose. It's like this.

"Wen He has worked hard too." Li Ji said.

"For the sake of my lord's ambition, I will risk my life even if I die."

Jia Xu's slogans were quite energetic, and coupled with his embarrassed appearance that seemed to be almost the same as Jian Yong's, one would have thought how much Jia Xu had paid.

However, Li Ji followed the opening as if he was deeply moved.

"Wen He, you won't have to stay in the refugee camp soon. I'll give you a slightly easier task so you can take care of yourself."

Jia Xu's expression froze for a moment, and he noticed something was wrong almost instantly.

Would Li Zikun be so considerate?
Gu Yong, who was obviously working as a record clerk, was about to accumulate a lot of experience as a prime minister.

Whenever a dog passed by Li Ji, Li Ji would tie him up at the entrance of the military camp and act as a guard to use his spare energy. Li Ji was not the kind of person who would go out of his way to let people rest.

"No need, Zikun."

Jia Xu said seriously.

"How can a gentleman do things half-way? Since I have been responsible for supervising the food, I should be responsible to the end, and no mistakes should be made."

"No problem, I'll come personally to inspect the food."

Li Ji said with a smile. "As for where Wen He will continue to cultivate, Ji will tell you in detail later."

Immediately, without waiting for Jia Xu to evade, Li Ji turned around and asked Jian Yong all the details about the refugee camp, while heading towards the central area of ​​the refugee camp surrounded by everyone.

Although Li Ji paid great attention to the refugee camps, many details were difficult to find in writing. Undoubtedly, asking Jian Yong directly was the most clear and direct way.

As we go deeper into the refugee camp, it is obvious that the closer to the central area, the more orderly it appears, and even the shelter for the refugees is much better.

And it happened to be the time when hot porridge was distributed to the refugees. I watched the refugees queuing up to receive the porridge, carefully holding the rice porridge that could be counted at a glance, and then savoring it as if they were eating some delicacy from the mountains and seas. Tasting.

"Kacha!"

"Click!!"

From time to time, the sound of biting gravel could be heard from the mouths of the refugees, but many of the refugees seemed to be used to it.

Some refugees would open their mouths and spit out the gravel they had eaten, but more of them were accustomed to chewing up the gravel and swallowing it together.

Finally, among the group of scholars who were brought here by Li Ji from Wu County, one of them, who seemed to be about the same age as Li Ji, couldn't help but question Li Ji and Jian Yong loudly.

"Li Juncheng, Jian Gongcao, students dare to ask why these people are treated like this? Can these gruels... be alive? And why is there so much sand and gravel mixed in them? But there are corrupt officials who have embezzled the disaster relief money and food?"

As the first scholar spoke, the rest of the scholars also shouted in response to the crowd.

"Zili is right! Is this...is this something people should eat?"

"If you deserve to be killed, you should kill the grain officer!"

"And this homeless camp is so shabby. This...how can this be disaster relief?"

"I heard that Mr. Liu governed the government with benevolence and virtue, and that Li Zikun was a genius in governing the world, and that he selflessly taught scholars all over the world through the Rende Academy. I just came to Wujun. How could I have known that such a sensational thing happened under the rule of Wujun!"

"I ask Li Juncheng to explain that this is to provide disaster relief and rescue the people??!! If this is the case, please forgive me for saying goodbye. I do not dare to claim to be a gentleman, but I will not abuse the people in this way."

Listening to the turbulent voices of questioning and cursing, Li Ji's expression did not change. On the contrary, Jia Xu cast a rather doubtful look at Li Ji, as if he was questioning Li Ji's clear and stupid group. Where did Li Ji pull the green onions?
As for the grain officer Li Can, who was at the end of the team that came to greet Li Ji, he was already trembling with fear. Afraid that the county magistrate Li Ji would really do what the scholars protested, he immediately dragged him, the grain official, down and beheaded him to calm the turmoil.

On the contrary, when Jian Yong, an honest man, saw this, he frowned and opened his mouth to explain to the scholars.

But when Li Ji didn't speak, Jian Yong couldn't suppress these excited scholars at all, and his weak voice hardly made any waves.

Helpless, Jian Yong had no choice but to pull Li Ji quickly and said.

"Mr. Zikun, what are you doing in such a daze? Please explain quickly and clearly. You must not ruin my lord's reputation. Otherwise, if this matter is publicized by these scholars, my lord will be misunderstood and cast aside by the world."

"I'm not busy. Someone else can explain it to me."

Li Ji waved his hand and said.

Hearing this, Jian Yong looked in the direction Li Ji was looking, and suddenly found that amidst the doubts and curses from the scholars, the surrounding refugees gradually gathered.

When some scholars saw this, they thought that the refugees were attracted by their momentum.

Looking at the pair of eyes that seemed to be a little dull, the scholars also felt sad in their hearts.

The mainstream of thought respected in this era is the Wuchang "Benevolence, Righteousness, Propriety, Wisdom and Faith" expanded from the classics of Dong Zhongshu.

Perhaps there are countless corrupt officials in this era, but there are also countless people who died for "benevolence" without regrets.

And seeing the miserable conditions of these refugees along the way undoubtedly deeply touched the hearts of these scholars.

Immediately, a scholar said loudly.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, don't worry, I will seek justice for you."

"Those gruels are really hard on you..."

"If Li Zikun doesn't solve this matter today, I won't hesitate to go and see Lord Liu!"

"If you die for benevolence, you will die well!"

However, before these scholars could finish speaking, suddenly among the refugees who came around, there was an old man with a wooden stick in his hand that served as a crutch, and he hit the scholar who scolded the most fiercely.

"boom!"

A crisp sound...

'Good start! '

Li Ji couldn't help but secretly praise it.

This sudden change also caused the scolding scholars to suddenly pause and look at the angry old man in confusion.

The scholar who was hit in the middle was stunned for a moment, and then turned to the old man and asked.

"Old man, you hit me in the wrong direction, why did you hit me?"

It's just that unlike these scholars, who all speak in a formal manner, the common people who don't know a single Chinese character speak much more directly.

The old man looked like his blood was rising, and he pointed at the scholar and cursed.

"Damn it, Ganli mother-in-law, who told you to scold Mr. Fu?!"

Suddenly, it was like a fuse.

The soulless eyes of the numerous refugees surrounding nearly a hundred scholars all glowed with a bit of light at this moment, but they all glowed with a bit of anger.

Both young and strong men, as well as old and weak women and children, all cursed at the scholars one after another.

"That's right, Mr. Fujun drinks the same porridge as the rest of us. It doesn't matter if you dislike it, why don't you give it to us?"

"Without this porridge, we don't know how long we have been starving to death..."

"I fled all the way south from my hometown, and only Mr. Liu Fu gave us a bite of hot porridge."

"I, when I fled to Xuzhou, I also ate a bowl of porridge distributed by Mr. Fujun along the way. I ate a small bowl of gruel before I had the strength to escape here."

"Your Excellency Fu Jun is a blessing to me for my life. How can I allow you scholars who know how to open your mouth to scold Mr. Fu Jun?"

"Boy, if you dare to be disrespectful to the Lord, don't blame me for being rude."

……

The scholars, who were almost drowned out by the accusations for a moment, all reacted in confusion and at a loss.

These scholars were all selected by Li Ji during this period. He wanted to join the "Ren De Academy", but could not win the sand table game of "Four Crosses of Red Water" and could only choose to work as "temporary workers" in Wu County. from.

Most of the scholars who were able to arrive here in such a short time after the news about "Rende Academy" appeared were from well-off families and well-informed, otherwise they would not have heard about "Rende Academy". As soon as the news is received, he can immediately set off for a study tour in Wu County.

Most of this type of scholars also have the same characteristics. Their ideas are still quite idealistic and they are somewhat ignorant of the real sufferings of the people. (End of chapter)
