Chapter 563 Xiao Ruxun's Instructions
Today's King Jin is no longer the King Jin among the nine powerful Sai Kings in Zhu Yuanzhang's era. Compared with the first generation King Jin, the current King Jin is also a political mascot.

But should I say it or not, the King Jin is important. That is the royal family, the emperor's relatives. Your foreign ministers have wiped out the royal family. How is it different from rebellion?

Therefore, during the last Ningxia incident, a group of officials who killed King Qing because of not being loyal to their guards lost their heads after the incident.

Obviously, Wang Shiyang had lingering fears after seeing such an end, so he invited Jin Wang's family to Qi County for refuge before the martial law in Taiyuan, and came back after the battle.

It's also thanks to Wang Shiyang for having such an idea, otherwise, Jin Wang's family would have been gone long ago, and Wang Shiyang's head would have been gone too, and even Xiao Ruxun would be implicated, but it was Wang Shiyang who led the war before, and Xiao Ruxun didn't even arrive. , I can’t talk about taking any responsibility, but it’s different now.

Wang Shiyang vomited blood and fainted, and temporarily entrusted the governor's power to Xiao Ruxun. Xiao Ruxun took over the governor's power, which was equivalent to taking over Wang Shiyang's responsibility. If King Jin was killed by the northern captives before Wang Shiyang woke up, then Xiao Ruxun should go If you lose your head, even if you don't lose your head, you have to cut your job for the people.

Therefore, Xiao Ruxun hurriedly ordered Li Rusong to rectify the troops immediately, but at this time there were not many soldiers under his command, and he could not leave many people to guard Taiyuan to maintain order. Xiao Ruxun was also worried that Taiyuan would be in chaos again after he left. The pawns arrived.

Xiao Ruxun let out a long breath, and handed over the defense and reconstruction work of Taiyuan to Wang Hui as a temporary agent, and then handed over the grain storage map to him, and asked him to mobilize the people of Taiyuan to transport grain if there was a shortage of grain, so that there would be no danger for the time being. .

Before leaving, Xiao Ruxun looked at the people coming and going in Taiyuan, and suddenly thought of something, so he quickly found Wang Hui, and told him some things that he cared about.

"This food is more than enough to feed the [-] to [-] refugees who helped rebuild Taiyuan, but you have to remember that you have to carefully observe the number of these refugees who come to eat porridge, and count the daily food consumption. If the number of refugees eating porridge has increased significantly, then you should pay attention.

You have to find some sand on the ground, wash away the dust, leave some sand that can be seen with the naked eye, and then mix the sand and rice grains together to cook porridge, and then put the porridge, no matter how many complaints they have, you just do it Do, in this way, these grains can persist until the end of the war. "

Without knowing it, Wang Hui asked Xiao Ruxun why he did this.

"I have sent people to start counting the number of refugees who helped to work, record their names, and then put porridge according to their heads, but I am worried that there will be some lazy people who are lazy. Come here to mix a bowl of porridge to eat, and leave after eating, and don't help with work.

If this is the case, the precious food will be wasted for nothing, but if some sand is added to it, the situation will be very different. Although the refugees who come to help work complain, they will still eat it because they have nothing to eat , must be eaten, if you don’t eat, you will starve to death, so pick out the sand and eat the porridge.

And those lazy people and tricksters who have their own food but also want to come to eat a bowl of food, will not come again if they eat sand once and suffer a loss.

In this way, it can be guaranteed that all the people who come to eat porridge are those who have no food to eat and need these porridge and rice to eat, so that the refugees in need can be helped to the greatest extent. After all, the food in our hands is also very precious , Don't feel that it is too much to abuse now. "

Wang Hui suddenly realized.

"It's no wonder that the government's relief food was useless during the famines in the past years. I used to think that it was exploited by officials at all levels. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's more than that!"

Xiao Ruxun nodded.

"I have a lot of people in China, many of them are hardworking and willing to work, but there are also those who are greedy in the market and love to take advantage of small things. When a famine occurs in a certain place, the imperial court sends relief food, and there are also good people in the place who set up porridge sheds to put porridge. Of course, those who come have no food to eat." There are many refugees, but there are also many despicable people who pretend to be refugees and come to eat and drink, and eat the life-saving food of the victims.

What's even more hateful is that most of these people are organized, and they are gangsters and lazy people organized by unscrupulous traders in some places. They just want to eat the relief food as soon as possible, so that the refugees have no food to eat, so they can only buy their high-priced food to eat. Officials are exploiting, and there are still such people below to fish in troubled waters, which makes the disaster worse. "

Wang Hui nodded seriously, and said: "The general understands, and the general will definitely follow the admiral's order and do his best."

Xiao Ruxun nodded, and then said worriedly: "The sand should not be too small, otherwise you won't feel it when you eat it, and the sand will stay in the stomach and cannot be digested. , those rascals will still come to eat.

I want those of medium size, neither big nor small, and there are a lot of them, but it takes a little effort to pick them out. This is the most appropriate, but remember to wash away the dust and mud with water, otherwise it doesn’t matter if you eat porridge and get upset. , One to two hundred, three to four hundred, you will be in big trouble.

Naturally, if someone intentionally causes trouble, plots against the law, and intends to incite the people to seize food, he will be killed on the spot and will not be tolerated. This batch of food is life-saving food for the people of Taiyuan, and food can stabilize people's hearts. One or two lazy people must not ruin the big event , It is necessary to kill one as an example to others. "

Wang Hui wrote them down one by one and repeated them in detail. Xiao Ruxun was relieved. He handed over Taiyuan City and hundreds of thousands of people to Wang Hui and three thousand soldiers. The infantry with weapons followed closely behind, and also rushed to Qi County.

In Xiao Ruxun's vision, the northern captives went west for a long way before suddenly turning south. Regardless of whether the target is Qi County or not, if they rushed there at this time, there should be enough time. As long as they arrived at Qi County, Xiao Ruxun and Li Rusong When people's heads are kept, they will be safe.

As for whether Beilu's target was Qi County, Xiao Ruxun expressed doubts, and he also expressed doubts about the purpose of Beilu going south. He had his own conjecture, so he planned to observe Beilu's movements and verify his conjecture.

He wanted to know whether these northern captives were heading for the settlements of the big Shanxi merchants.

Because Qi County is also one of the settlements of large Shanxi merchants, if the purpose of the northern captives going south is the settlement of large Shanxi merchants, then the actions of these northern captives can be controlled.

Pingyao, Puxian, and Pingyang, the settlements of large Shanxi merchants, may all become their targets.

They can't be allowed to continue to wreak havoc. Although Xiao Ruxun also hopes that these big Shanxi merchants will be directly destroyed humanely, the people are innocent. The northern captives burned, killed and looted all the way, and the people who suffered the most are the people who suffered the most. If the whole of Shanxi is destroyed, The price of destroying Shanxi merchants was too great.

Running all the way, marching all night, Xiao Ruxun didn't let the slightly tired soldiers rest at night, but slowed down and rushed all night, so fast and slow, thanks to the flat road and less twists and turns, Xiao Ruxun finally arrived at three quarters of the next day Qixian County, where the city gates are closed.
