One Piece of Song Dynasty

Li Xin said to Cao Long again: "Cao Long, how is the elimination of the barbarians going?"

Cao Long replied: "For the record, all the savages within a hundred and fifty miles south of the city have been wiped out. Except for children under three years old, everyone else is dead. In fact, we have not found many savages within a hundred and fifty miles south of the city." , there are hundreds of people in one village."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Well, it seems that the savages are still further south. What are the casualties of your Xuanwu Camp in this operation? How to deal with the captured children?"

Cao Long said: "There were no deaths, only a few minor injuries. We launched a sneak attack in the early morning when people were most sleepy, so no deaths were caused. The captured children were all handed over to the cook of the master's house. We are here."

Li Xin said thoughtfully: "Well, let's leave the matter as it is for the savages. In the next period of time, you, along with the Xuanwu Camp and the nursing team here, will help the army maintain order in Seoul. Of course, you will have to do it from time to time. Check the area within miles south of the city to prevent savages from entering our territory."

Cao Long cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Master, I understand."

Li Xin said: "Okay, you two should leave first, I have to pack up and go back to Hui'an."

After Liu Yi left the Li Mansion, he immediately summoned several representatives of Confucian scholars: "Everyone, this is a God-given opportunity. The opportunity for the master's family has come. The time has come for us to develop Xinghan Island."

Everyone asked: "What opportunity? What happened?"

Liu Yi held up the secret message he got from Li Xin and said: "Something big happened in the imperial court. A peasant uprising broke out in the southeast. This powder keg exploded."

Then Liu Yi circulated the secret letter to all the Confucian scholars and read it.

Li Ying read the secret letter and said: "Okay, God is really helping my family. Once a peasant uprising breaks out, there will inevitably be a large number of refugees. Not to mention that my family can take in all of them, even one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand refugees. The refugees on Xinghan Island The situation will be very different."

Liu Yi nodded and said: "So everyone, the master has given us a task. We have to put down what we are doing for the time being. Our main task in the next period of time is to settle the large number of refugees who are about to land on the island."

Everyone replied excitedly: "Okay, no problem."

After Li Xin packed up her things, she rushed to the dock early the next morning to follow Ruan Xiaowu's fleet back to Hui'an.

After Li Xin got on the ship, she found Ruan Xiaowu: "Fifth brother, how many ships are there in the transport fleet now?"

Ruan Xiaowu replied: "There are one hundred and eight ships of both types."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Okay, all the blessing boats are empty, and a large number of refugees will land on the island in the next period of time."

Ruan Xiaowu said: "Okay, brother, a certain family knows."

Li Xin continued: "This time, the population and supplies of the two cities will be divided into six and four, Xinghan City will be divided into six, and Chicken Coop City will be divided into four."

Ruan Xiaowu nodded and said: "Yes, a certain family understands."

Li Xin arrived in Hui'an in the evening. After getting off the boat, Li Xin went straight to Li's house. When he went to the house, he asked where the housekeeper was. Then he hurried to find the housekeeper. Before he saw the housekeeper, Li Xin shouted: "Uncle An, I'm back." ."

The housekeeper heard the sound and came out and said, "Hey, why is Mr. Lang back?"

Li Xin entered the room and drank a cup of tea before saying: "Isn't there something big going on in the southeast? I want to come back and personally take charge of gathering the refugees. Once this uprising breaks out, there will inevitably be a large number of refugees. Uncle An, you will lead people to get close to the uprising tomorrow." We should guide as many refugees as possible to Hui'an, as many as we can attract."

The housekeeper frowned and said: "Yes, Lang Jun, how big is the place you are buying? How many refugees are needed? It has been almost two years since last year. A certain family has sent nearly refugees to Lang Jun. Isn't that enough?" ”

Li Xin replied: "Not enough, far from enough. Uncle An, please don't worry about it for now. Just do as I say. I will take you to see it and you will know."

The housekeeper nodded and said: "Okay, a certain family knows it, but so many refugees have come all of a sudden. What will happen to the food?"

Li Xin thought for a while and said: "Uncle An, then please arrange for someone to increase the amount of food purchased. Don't forget that I am still the magistrate of Hui'an. If it doesn't work, I will open a warehouse to release food. Of course, the food provided to the refugees can Just make sure they don't starve to death."

The butler cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Mr. Lang, a certain family knows."

After discussing with the housekeeper, Li Xin went back to his room to rest. Early the next morning, Li Xin returned to the county government office. After arriving at the county government office, Li Xin asked Lu Fei to call Prime Minister Sun and Master Qian.

After hearing the news, the two came to the county government office quickly. When Sun Xiancheng saw Chief Secretary Qian, he also came to the county government office and said: "Sir Qian, what do you think our magistrate, the magistrate, wants to see us for this time? ”

Master Qian shook his head and said, "Qian really doesn't know. Nothing happened recently."

Sun Xiancheng thought for a while and said: "That's right, forget it, let's go, we'll find out when we get in."

The two of them entered the county government office together. When Li Xin saw the two of them, he gestured for them to sit down and said, "You two must be very confused as to why I suddenly summoned you today. I'm afraid you two don't know that something big has happened in the southeast."

Sun Xiancheng said: "My lord, I haven't heard of anything major happening recently."

Li Xin nodded and said: "It's not your fault. I just received the secret letter from the Grand Master yesterday. Peasant riots led by Manichaeans broke out on the Liangzhe Road."

After hearing Li Xin's words, the two took a breath and said in unison: "Farmers riot!"

Li Xin continued: "Yes, I think you two should have heard of the name Manichaeism. Manichaeism has many followers in the southeast. Our Fujian Road is very close to Liangzhe Road. I think there should be some Manichaeism here in Fujian." There will also be Manichaeans, so from now on the entire Hui'an County will be on alert and a curfew will be implemented at night. Sun County Cheng, from now on, you must control the situation in the entire Hui'an County and not give anyone an opportunity."

Sun County Prime Minister clasped his fists and said: "Yes, sir, I have the order."

Li Xin continued to order: "Large-scale peasant riots will produce a large number of refugees. We are relatively close to the Liangzhe Road. There will definitely be many refugees who are affected and unwilling to riot and flee to us. Mr. Qian, the granary you are in charge of will be here." Be prepared to open warehouses and store grain at any time."

Master Qian clasped his fists and said, "Yes, sir, I will obey your orders."

Li Xin continued: "During this period, I will personally be in charge of the county. If you have any questions, please come to me. The stability of the county relies heavily on you. You two should work harder during this national crisis. After this period of time has stabilized, I will ask the Grand Master for merit for you two."

The two stood up and clasped their fists and said, "Thank you, sir. It is my duty as ministers to share the worries of the imperial court. We will definitely assist you to ensure the stability of the county."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Well, okay, you two go down first, I have to go to the military camp to arrange city defense matters."
