Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 19

"There are no strong people. Apart from our village, there are also some refugees in other villages who can't stand the government's expropriation. They are all poor people. They live by digging wild vegetables and picking wild fruits to satisfy their hunger. I don't know how many people will be unable to survive this winter." In the past, when the spring started, you could find a flat place to open a few acres of land, and when the harvest came, you could save a few people from starving to death."

"You just recruit the villagers in Woniugang for a better life and resettlement. Be patient when things happen, don't argue with others, and hide in the mountains when you meet people in the government. Maybe I will go to Woniugang to find you after a while. "Zhou Cang said.

The two paid respects to the graves of Pei Dahu and Zhou Cheng, and then came back.

At this time, Gan Chi and Chen Zhong had already cooked the rice, and asked Zhou Cang to use it first. When Zhou Cang finished eating and waited for the three of them to eat, he said, "Clean up after the meal. We only take our belongings. The food is enough for three days. The rest They are all on the back of the donkey, Liu Quan, take the donkey away." The three of them said that tears welled up in their eyes, and Liu Quan knew that he would go to Wo Niu Gang to find him, so he didn't refuse.

After the meal, Zhou Cang bid farewell to Liu Quan and the donkey who had been with him for a long time.Asking about the way to Bojiapu, Zhou Cang rode a horse, and Gan and Chen went to Bojiapu on foot. Zhou Cang didn't want to show his master's status, but spent all kinds of time to improve his riding skills. Along the way, he also shot some pheasants and hares with the bow and arrows given by Mi Fang. His archery skills are very good.After many days of getting along, Gan and Chen got close to each other a lot.

On the way, I met many people who were going to Bojiabao. Chen Zhongyi asked, and they were all believers of Taiping Dao.Zhou Cang was a little stunned, the development of Taipingdao was really too fast.

After arriving at Bojiabao, Bojiabao is very different from Peijia Village.First of all, the scale is much larger. It is built against the mountain, and a fence is set up outside the fort.There were a few strong men at the door who looked like idlers wandering around, with bulging waists.Zhou Cang handed over the horse to Gan and Chen, and ordered them to wait outside before entering the fort by himself. He still doesn't want any intersection between them and Pei Yuanshao.

Seeing that Zhou Cang was about to enter the castle, the strong man responded. Hearing that he was a relative of Bo Cai, his attitude suddenly became much friendlier. One of them took Zhou Cang to find Bo Cai's house, and the others stared at him from a distance. Gan Chi and Chen Zhong found a tree on the side of the road to bask in the sun.

Bocai's house didn't look dilapidated, and it was even bigger than Pei Da's house. After knocking a few times, the door opened, and it was Pei Yuanshao who hadn't seen him for a long time.

Pei Yuanshao was overjoyed when he saw Zhou Cang, "Brother, why are you here? You miss me so much. I thought I would have to wait two years. Bo Cai was not at home. He went to Nanyang at the invitation of Nanyang Zhang Mancheng, and brought his father with him." I went there, saying that I found a good doctor over there, and recuperated in Nanyang. Now I am alone at home, but I am bored. Tell me where you have been these days, do you know what is happening at home? problem occurs?"

"Well, I know everything, let's go in and talk." Zhou Cang patted Pei Yuanshao, "I've grown taller again." Then he thanked the strong man, and the strong man saw that he was really an acquaintance who came to look for Bo Cai. Back to his post.

After entering the room, Zhou Cang narrated what Liu Quan said, and then asked, "How are you here?"

"Okay, I get along very well with everyone. The people from our Peijia Village have settled down. Although the people here are a little bit harder, they are very united. It's just..." Pei Yuanshao paused, "It's just that Bo Cai doesn't know each other every day. What is he busy with, he often goes out and doesn’t know where he is going, and people often come to him, and then they gather together behind closed doors to discuss something, but it makes me pay attention to whether there are strangers outside the door. Several times Bocai led Qing Zhuang went out at night and came back at dawn, and brought back a lot of food and belongings, I don’t know where they came from, he couldn’t be robbing.”

Pei Yuanshao went on to say, "When I came here, there were only more than 300 households in the fort. In a few months, there were more than 500 households, and there may be more. I heard that this is the case in several nearby forts. Bocai listens to Bocai. Bocai often brings them together to talk, and organizes young and strong people to practice together, just like my father, what are they trying to do?"

"This time when I went out, I also found that the congregation of Taipingdao often gather together. I feel that they seem to have some kind of conspiracy. I'm afraid it's not a good thing. It's not suitable for us to stay here anymore, so I want to take you away."

"Okay. I also think they are mysterious and sneaky. Several times I wanted to ask Bo Cai, but later I thought, since he won't tell me, it's better not to ask. I don't know where brother is going? It’s how the villagers are resettled.”

"Yeah, I've really grown up, and I know how to think about things." Zhou Cang sincerely praised Pei Yuanshao, "I went out to Xuzhou this time, and traveled to many places, almost half of Xuzhou. I met Guangling Chen Deng, Xiapi Mifang, these two are well-known noble families in Xuzhou. I also received a marriage promise from Duke Gan of Peiguo..."

"Haha, let me just say, my brother will definitely get married before me. Tell me quickly, how does my sister-in-law look like, is she worthy of you? When is my brother going to get married?"

"Man, I haven't seen it yet. His appearance should not be bad. Besides, he is also a rich man, so he is naturally worthy of me, a white and poor boy. I promise to come back to get married in two years. Don't interrupt, I will tell you the business." Zhou Cangbai Pei Yuanshao glanced at him, "Mr. Gan recommended me to go to Tao Qian in Youzhou. Tao Qian is his son-in-law. I think he might be a small official first. But you won't go to Youzhou. I have important things for you. "

"Ah, why doesn't my brother take me? What's the matter?"

"Many villagers in our village have fled to Woniugang. They are helpless. I want you to take the villagers here as well to reclaim wasteland and farm in Woniugang."

"Cultivate wasteland and farm, then I won't go, I'll go with my brother, I will go wherever my brother goes." Pei Yuanshao waved his hands again and again.

"Just listen to me. I saw a lot of refugees along the way. You built a fort at Woniugang to accommodate these refugees. There will be more and more refugees in the future. You choose strong people and practice them according to our drill method. "Zhou Cang continued, "After you settle down, take my letter to Xiapi to see Mi Fang and ask for some grain seeds, and then go to Guangling to meet Chen Deng to ask for some salt to stock up. There is also a family in Haixi County in the East China Sea. Blacksmith Zhang, be sure to invite him to Woniugang to forge ironware and weapons in secret. This is a thousand coins, and you will use them first.” Then, Zhou Cang untied the one thousand coins from selling salt from his body, and recited them It's been so heavy for such a long time, it's estimated to weigh thirty to forty catties, and even though I still have six hundred coins on my body, I feel much more relaxed.

"Brother, where did you get so much money? You can't be..." Pei Yuanshao was surprised.
