Cannon Fodder Just Wants to Farm (MTL)

Chapter 90: Saved

That night, the government officer who inquired about the news came back, his cheeks red from the cold, and said: "Sir, the people in the two surrounding counties are running outside. There are corpses everywhere on the road, and the refugees keep walking this way, leaving We are only ten miles away!" You can come here in one night.

The two government officials had unbearable expressions in their eyes. Although they encountered a rare natural disaster, their lives in the county were pretty good, which made him mistakenly believe that it was like this outside. Now I am shocked to see the numb faces outside. Many people have died on the road.

Those who were alive were not much better, their clothes were tattered and thin, and there were old people and children among them.

It gets colder at night. Wearing county-haired cotton-padded jackets, they can hardly bear the cold winter.

Not to mention that many people were only wearing thin clothes and their faces were blue from the cold. Before, they were worried about what kind of evil these people were, but their worries were a bit unnecessary. After being so cold, these people just wanted to survive. The Yamen servant rode past them, but they didn't even have the strength to catch up.

When Zhu Captou heard what his men said, he also fell into deep thought.

The county magistrate said: "Didn't I say a few days ago that I built a government-run brick kiln? There is a shortage of people there." People in the county have better places to go to make tiles and bricks, and they are not willing to work in the brick kiln. Factory work. When these people who have fled from other places come, they can fill the vacancies here. They can at least guarantee shelter and two meals a day.

Zhu Captou said: "Your Excellency is wise."

He Zifeng's prediction was good, but the county magistrate still relented. Zhu Captou said: "Whatever you need us to do, sir, just give us your orders!"

The county magistrate said: "Everyone, please don't sleep tonight. Boil water, cook porridge, and make ginger soup. You two will follow me to pick up people. Call the auxiliary soldiers as well. If there are really those who are guilty, directly throw it out!"

"Okay." Arrangements were then made, and the location of the government-run brick kiln was relatively remote. He is at the very edge of the county. There are a few empty houses over there. It's been a cold winter this year, so I've used the fire bed for a long time, but no one has stayed there.

He Zifeng sent someone over to clean up in advance.

Nowadays, these government officials in the county are accustomed to having something to do at any time, and they are not as procrastinating as before when they start working.

He also asked the doctors to wait for treatment.

The Yamen is brightly lit.

Since the county magistrate has done so many good things to benefit the people, his passwords are very easy to use. More than 200 people were mobilized in an instant.

There was light in the gate tower.

It was already late at night, and the people who had fled the famine saw light from a distance, as if they saw hope.

"Mom, there is the county seat ahead." They were all so cold that they lost consciousness!

"Yeah." Several children were a little excited.

But the adults' faces were a bit unbearable. They didn't want the children to be so innocent. Passing through several county towns, those people refused to let them enter the city at all. They even drew their knives. Anyone who dared to break in would be killed.
