Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 236 Tragic

Chapter 240 Tragic

Of course, these goods are indeed cheap according to Wei's price.However, according to the local price in Daiguo, it has more than doubled by more than ten times.

In Ma Yu's eyes, he sold more than 8000 captives at a sky-high price.

It is almost equivalent to an extra [-] sheep for no reason.

Ma Yu was very happy to get these properties for nothing, and told the situation of the transaction after drinking.

Hearing that prisoners of war can still make money, these generals, elders, and nobles of the Dai Kingdom began to be tempted.

The country of Yan is in an internal war, and the main force is concentrated in Liaodong to fight. They don't care about the lives of ordinary people at all!

As a result, the generals of the Dai Kingdom, that is, their little tribal leaders, plundered a large number of people without any effort. These people, like driving cattle, rushed to Shengle.

According to the price of the transaction with Ma Yu, Zhang Xun exchanged the prisoners of war from the leaders of these tribes and tribes!
The tribal leaders who benefited this time were all elated.

They switched to table salt, so they don't have to worry about future table salt anymore.

In exchange for steel, the soldiers are armed, and the strength is stronger.

More importantly, they exchanged prisoners of war for down jackets. When winter comes, they no longer have to worry about freezing to death.

The rise of a nation must step on the bones of another nation!

This time, the impact was even greater. All the generals and generals of the Dai Kingdom almost selected their own able men to join the slave-hunting army.

As soon as there were more prisoners of war, Zhang Xun began to lower the price, severely lowering the price, but raised the price of women in Goguryeo, Buyeo, Samhan, Silla, Baekje and other countries.

And the price is ridiculously high, three women can actually be worth a full-grown war horse, and the price per person is around [-] yuan.

The chiefs of the major tribes in Dai Kingdom heard the news and began to flock to Liaodong.

In this way, the civil strife in Yan Kingdom unintentionally added many variables, which Ran Ming did not expect.

Of course, Ran Ming didn't care about the frenzy of slave hunting between the two countries, but Xuzhou, which is the closest to Jiaodong, has a large number of refugees, and Ran Ming is very busy now.

Now the city of Buqi has been sealed off, and there is no way to use the government offices.

At this time, the place where the refugees were resettled was placed in Laoshan.Now he is in charge of appeasing the refugees in Buqi City. His name is Zhao Yan. He was originally a Jinshi who held the imperial examination in Ran Ming, and he was entrusted with the magistrate of Shouguang County.

But he came from a poor family, so he was capable, but he couldn't play with the county magistrate and county lieutenant who were from the gentry, so he was forced to be an official seal.After thinking about it, Zhao Yan felt unwilling. When he heard that Ran Ming had come to Buqi, Zhao Yan also came to Buqi City.

Ran Ming had no one to use, so he had to arrest his young man.Ran Ming casually sealed Zhao Yan as Captain Anmin. Captain Anmin was Ran Ming's first official position. Ran Ming didn't mention the rank, and Zhao Yan didn't ask either!
Ran Ming arrived at the place where the refugees were resettled. At this time, Zhao Yan was bringing a dozen small officials to resettle the refugees.

Ran Ming looked at the past ten days, Zhao Yan had done his best and was very satisfied, and said: "Everyone has worked hard!"

As soon as Zhao Yan heard this, he raised his head and quickly knelt on the ground and said, "I see you, Your Majesty!"

"You don't need to be polite!"

After a pause, Ran Ming asked again: "How about the refugee resettlement?"

"Reporting to the King," Zhao Yan said without hesitation: "In the past three days, a total of 23 waves of refugees have arrived in 37 counties of Jiaodong Kingdom, with a total of 71 households and 390 people. Among them, there are 23 households with blacksmith skills. , 93 people were all placed in Jianufang. Carpenters from 650 households and [-] people were placed in shipyards and furniture workshops respectively. Others with little skills were distributed [-] mu of land for strong men and [-] mu for boys and women. Tian. According to this system to resettle people, our Jiaodong Kingdom has resettled more than [-] people!"

"Very good!" Ran Ming said: "This is a good job. They can also choose. If they are willing to work in salt factories, textile factories, printing and dyeing workshops, etc., they can be stipulated that they will be issued craftsmen. Children can voluntarily join the army or go to school!"

Zhao Yan wrote them down one by one.

At this moment, Ran Ming couldn't help frowning.Since it is now the end of May in the lunar calendar, the weather has started to be hot. Due to the high population density of the refugee settlements, and the fact that the refugees have no awareness of hygiene and defecate anywhere, the environment at the foot of Laoshan Mountain is very poor.Ran Ming pointed to the ground where sewage, feces and urine flowed: "The weather is so hot, diseases are easy to breed, tell the people to pay attention to hygiene. In addition, take a thorough bath!"

Zhao Yan nodded: "Yes!"

At this moment, a woman screamed suddenly, and five figures quickly blocked Ran Ming behind him. It was Huo Qi and Rui brothers and sisters, as well as Jin Nu, Tie Nu, and the guard commander Jing Zhan!
Zhao Yan yelled loudly: "Protect Your Majesty!"

Ran Ming was stunned: "What's the situation?"

"What are you doing, what are you doing? Get back alone!" Ran Ming's face was not very good-looking, except for Prince Ran Zhi, although there were quite a few people who wanted to kill Ran Ming, but in the Kingdom of Wei, no one with any strength could escape Ran Min's "deaf and dumb", thinking of this level, Ran Ming felt relieved.

Besides, there was another phenomenon that made Ran Ming think that this was not an assassination against him.

There is no one who screams loudly before the assassination!
Zhao Yan cupped his hands and said: "The son of a thousand gold, don't sit in the hall. Please leave first, Your Highness!"

Ran Ming secretly thought that if he wanted to stabilize Jiaodong Kingdom, especially those refugees who were in a state of anxiety, the only way to make them settle down in Jiaodong Kingdom was to come out on his own.

"Gu will not leave, these people are Gu's subjects, and they will definitely not harm Gu!"

"But..." Zhao Yan wanted to persuade him again, but Ran Ming interrupted: "It's nothing but, let Gu go and see what happened!"

Zhao Yan retreated helplessly and made way for a path.

Far away, Ran Ming heard a hoarse woman crying, "Please, don't take my son away, please..."

Seeing Ran Ming coming, several Qilin guards hurriedly cleared the way for Ran Ming.

At this moment, the stench of corpses hit his face, which almost made Ran Ming faint!
Ran Ming saw an unbelievable scene, a young mother with dull eyes and lifeless, holding a child who looked like three or four years old in her arms, but it was a corpse.

The corpse gave off a strong stench, and the mother seemed to have no feeling at all.

What was even more weird was that maggots emerged from the corpse from time to time.In the broken bowl next to the mother, there was half a bowl of rice with long white hairs.The mother watched the crowd no longer snatch her son, and pretended to put the child to sleep.

The disgusting maggots came out of the corpse from time to time, and slowly crawled into the mother's dress, and one maggot even climbed onto her face.

Suddenly the young mother laughed, very happily, her chest rose and fell sharply, as if she wanted to squeeze out the last bit of air in her chest, and the maggots began to be afraid and prepared to swim away.

"Crazy, this woman is already crazy!"

"Maybe it's poisoned. I heard that the corpse poison is very powerful! It's also contagious. If not, we will all be infected with the corpse poison. We will all die!"

Ran Ming knew that this woman was indeed suffering from a disease, which was called extreme paranoia in later generations. Although Ran Ming had heard of this disease, there was nothing he could do about it.He is not a doctor, let alone a panacea.

This phenomenon really frightened many people. Everyone has seen dead people in this era, but the thought of maggots crawling on their bodies can't help but make people shudder.

Because of the chaos in China, because of natural disasters and man-made disasters, because of this national catastrophe.

Corpses are strewn all over the field, bones are piled up, and the ground is red for thousands of miles.The past Ran Ming was powerless to change.

However, this tragic scene made Ran Ming understand that he must make a decision to end this tragic catastrophe as soon as possible.

This mother is already crazy, there is no way, if she is allowed to go down, not only will it scare people, it may even cause a plague.

Before Ran Ming could think of a countermeasure, Zhao Yan hurriedly ordered a small official beside him. The small official nodded repeatedly, leading a few soldiers, and prepared to forcibly take away the maggot-filled corpse and cremate it directly.

However, at that moment, Huo Rui beside Ran Ming said, "Stop!"

Zhao Yan looked at Huo Rui, very puzzled.

Huo Rui said: "You ruined her like this!"

"Then what can I do?" Ran Ming also knew that if he did this, the young mother might not be able to bear this huge blow, but Ran Ming really didn't know what to do.

This is not a medical problem, but a worldwide problem.

Huo Rui walked gently in front of the young mother, reached out and took out a bell, and gently dangled it in front of the young mother.

Seeing this scene, Ran Ming immediately understood that Huo Rui was hypnotizing the young mother.

Sure enough, Huo Rui whispered softly.

After a short while, the young mother slowly fell to the ground.

A soldier stepped forward to pick up the child's body and cremated it directly.

Ran Ming also arranged for several middle-aged women to forcefully bathe this mother!
Ran Ming never saw this woman again, but later a very powerful organization appeared in Wei State, this organization did not rob houses or bully the weak.But they often take action to deal with traffickers.

The method is extremely cruel, as long as it is a human trafficker, if it falls into their hands, it is difficult to die.The leader is a young widow named "Jade Guanyin".

Of course, this is something!
……

Ran Ming wasn't in a good mood, he was wandering in the crowd of refugees with fluctuating thoughts, suddenly a ragged child fell down a dozen steps away from Ran Ming while running, and burst into tears.Ran Ming stepped forward quickly, regardless of the mud on the child's hands, and his filth, he directly hugged the child: "Don't cry, don't cry, remember that a man should stand up straight, bleed but not cry ! This is the real man!"

Then Ran Ming kindly said to the child's parents: "It's not easy for you to migrate thousands of miles. When you arrive in Jiaodong, you will be safe. As long as you work hard, you can eat enough and wear new clothes. As long as you arrive Jiaodong Kingdom, your good days are coming. At this time, you can’t lose your children because of your own carelessness. Remember that children are our future, our hope for the future! A strong young man will make Wei Guo strong, and a young man will make Wei Guo rich!”
