Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

Hearing what Li Qiu said, the light in the eyes of this group of people also regained a gleam of brightness from the gloom just now.

At this time, Li Qiu continued: "The first batch of people I plan to resettle are the few old, weak, sick and disabled."

"I will send you back to your hometown, the surrounding villages and counties."

"Of course, I won't let you go back and continue to starve, or even starve to death."

"Every month, I will send special soldiers from Furong Garden to deliver food to your home."

"Although it may not make you full every meal, it will definitely not let you starve to death."

"I don't know if you can trust me?"

Hearing this, the group of people couldn't help saying: "My lord, if we don't even believe what you say, then we won't be able to trust anyone in this world."

"My lord, you don't need to discuss it with us. In short, we can do whatever you want us to do."

"We know that you are sincerely for our good."

At this time, Li Qiu nodded, and continued: "The second thing is your request just now, about these children."

"In the first thing just now, those children who are too young will be sent back to their hometown with their mothers."

"As for the remaining children, regardless of gender, I decided to keep them in this Hibiscus Garden."

"Let them have a place to live and food to eat."

"And, I also want to teach them to read, read, and learn martial arts."

"When they grow up in the future, I hope they can become the pillars of this country."

When hearing this, the nearly ten thousand people were all emotional, and they all knelt down to Li Qiu with endless gratitude.

In this era, only the sons and daughters of gentry families, sons and young masters, can read and write and practice martial arts.

But now the children of my own family can learn art from General Li Qiu, what a blessing this is.

In this world, who can catch up with General Li Qiu in talent, and who can be more exquisite in martial arts than General Li Qiu? !

Later, after persuading them all to get up, Li Qiu said the last thing.

"The third thing is the vast majority of you."

"If you continue to stay around Chang'an City, most of you may not escape death."

"Staying here is not a long-term solution."

"So I plan to escort you all to thirteen states including Youzhou, Jizhou, Pingzhou, Yizhou, Dingzhou, Hengzhou, Mozhou, Yingzhou, Cangzhou, Shenzhou, Zhaozhou, Dezhou, and Yizhou. Go up to the fief."

"Along the way, there will be a martial arts army to see you off along the way."

"And when you get there, local officials and people will accept you."

"Although the journey is long, the conditions there are also very difficult."

"But the chances of you surviving are definitely much higher than here."

"As long as everyone can survive this winter successfully, I, Li Qiu, personally promise you."

"Within one year, in just one year, you will definitely live and work in peace and contentment in the land of Youzhou, with no worries about food and clothing."

In the era of more than 600 AD, the main population of China was concentrated in the Yellow River Basin.

In people's minds, Youzhou is very far away, the environment is harsh, and it is extremely difficult to survive.

And right now, it's winter again.

So after Li Qiu said these words, the eyes of these common people showed a trace of fear and reluctance.

Even the people of later generations and modern people all have nostalgia for their homeland.

Not to mention the people of that era when the wisdom of the people was not developed and the thinking was rigid.

At this time, Zhang Yungu also said to them loudly: "People, don't worry, don't be afraid."

"I, Zhang Yungu, will personally accompany you on the road together."

"I will personally lead you all to the border of Youzhou safely."

"At the same time, I will tell you one more thing."

"As long as we, General Li Qiu, have said and promised, we have never broken our promises."

"Here, we have to be controlled and restricted by too many people."

"But when it comes to Prince Li Qiu's fiefdom, the officials and soldiers there all want to listen to our prince."

"So, once we get there, we will work together and we will definitely get through this difficult time."

"I also firmly believe in my heart that Prince Li Qiu will do what he says, and let you live and work in peace and contentment, without worrying about food and clothing."

Chapter 170 Mountains of Firewood and Every Root of Wild Vegetables

When he heard that Master Zhang Yungu was going to Youzhou with him?

This group of people immediately panicked and boiled.

Almost everyone is begging: "Master Zhang, we have already caused you to lose your position."

"This time, you can't accompany us to Youzhou to take such a risk!"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, don't worry, you and the prince, we will obey orders and go to Youzhou."

"But you must not go with us and suffer this unnecessary hardship!"

At this moment, Zhang Yungu's eyes were extremely firm and told them, "As an official of the Great Tang, I, Zhang Yungu, am here to accompany the people of my Great Tang to suffer together."

"This time, just like you, I left my family and business, my wife and son, and went north to Youzhou with you."

"Otherwise, I won't worry about you in my heart."

Listening to Zhang Yungu's words, the tens of thousands of simple and simple people could no longer feel the cold of this winter.

Yes, just the warm touch in my heart, and the warm tears in the moist eyes.

After having Zhang Yungu's companion, the last bit of worry and doubt in the hearts of these people has completely dissipated.

Mr. Zhang, a dignified third-rank official, has already accompanied you, a group of refugees who should have died long ago, to the north.

Why are you so hypocritical?

After making this decision that day, those men and old people in good health among the nearly [-] refugees spontaneously formed a team and left the Furong Garden.

And when they returned before nightfall, each carried a lot of firewood.

After the servant asked about them, they smiled embarrassedly and said that they have no skills.

I can't do anything for Prince Li Qiu, Princess A Ke, and Miss Kexin.

So I had no choice but to go out of the city and go to the nearby mountains to pick up some firewood and come back.

When they leave in the future, Lord Li Qiu won't have to go out to buy it, he can keep it for use.

On the second day and the third day, some people continued to go into the mountains to cut firewood.

Another group of people put the best, strongest, and most well-proportioned firewood in a pile.

It was like a hill!

And the bad firewood they picked out was taken out and burned into charcoal in the wild.

Save it on the way to Youzhou.

Finally, another two days passed.

According to the pre-plan, tomorrow is the daytime for everyone to go on the road and leave the Furong Garden.

So on this day, many women and children also left the Furong Garden and went outside.

Before night fell again, they came back in groups.

Today, the amount of firewood they brought back was the largest.

When they were told by the servants that there was enough firewood in the Furong Garden, they smiled and said, "Tomorrow, we are leaving."

"I'm going to Youzhou now, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in this life, and I won't be able to chop firewood for the prince."

"Simply, today we all cut as much as possible together."

At the same time, they are afraid that there will not be enough time tomorrow.

I didn't even have time to eat the porridge at night, so I started to be extremely serious as soon as I came back, stacking the firewood one by one very neatly.

After they finished all this, the firewood pile had changed from a small hill to a huge mountain.

And those women, old people, and children did not leave empty-handed.

Instead, everyone is carrying packages of different sizes.

Inside are some wild vegetables.

Looking at these children's little hands that were red, swollen, scratched, and even had bleeding nails, Luo Ke felt distressed and complained at the same time.

"Hey, in such a cold day, did you guys just go out and dig wild vegetables for a whole day?"

"We can't eat so much, why are you bothering?!"

At this time, the little girl who was held by Luo Kexin looked at her with innocent eyes and said, "Sister Kexin, mother said, we will leave here tomorrow and return to our hometown."

"Since Niuniu is young, she cannot stay with her brothers and sisters."

"Niuniu and Niangqin are very grateful to the prince and sister Kexin."

"But all the good things in Niu Niu's house were burned by the Turks."

"There's nothing on Niu Niu now, and there's nothing I can give to you as a souvenir, Sister Kexin."

"So Niuniu can only follow mother to dig up some wild vegetables for sister Kexin to eat."

"As for these wild vegetables, Niuniu has carefully removed every root and bad leaf on them."

"It's so clean."

"The only possibility is that Niuniu is too stupid, so I couldn't dig much with all my strength."

"Sister Kexin, you don't blame Niuniu, do you?"

After hearing her words, Luo Kexin's tears could not stop flowing down.

Then he squatted down gently and took her into his arms.

"Sister Kexin, I'm so happy, how could I blame Niuniu?"

……

A banquet in the world.

The next morning, after drinking the last meal of porridge, it was finally time to say goodbye.

Today's white porridge, Li Qiu specially ordered, and put a lot of bones, meat, refined salt, and yesterday these women, old people, and children dug together, filled the whole house, every root is so clean .

Outside the Furong Garden, Li Qiu, Luo Kexin, Ake, Wu Jue and others personally sent them out of the gate.

And those common people and the officers and soldiers of the Shenwu Army are also ready.

Seeing that they were about to leave, those parents, grandparents, were still reluctant to part with the children who would stay in the Furong Garden.

The last time I hugged them, shed tears, and kept rubbing my child's hair and face with my hands.

"My child, mother, grandpa and grandma are leaving."

"If you stay in the hibiscus garden of the prince, you must be sensible and obedient, you know?"

These children are only twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest are only eight or nine years old.

It was the first time for them to leave their mother and relatives, and they had already cried with tears streaming down their faces.

However, the sensible ones nodded earnestly while shedding tears when facing their mother's instructions.

At this moment, what they think in their hearts may be to hug their mother more, or their grandfather who depends on each other.

They just want to keep this warmth and breath in their hearts forever, and don't forget it.

"My child, the Youzhou that mother went to this time is far away and very cold."
