Mrs. Zhou added firewood to the simple earthen stove, and said worriedly, "When will such a day end?"

Aunt Yue also added a sentence, "If the government doesn't resettle the victims and refugees, we will not be able to survive." The supplies they brought out have almost been used up in the past half a month.

Yue Shu worked silently, and he was also worried.Although the government and the wealthy households in the city provided two meals of porridge every day, they just couldn't eat enough and starve to death.

Living in such a place, young people are fine, but old people and children can't hold on and will get sick.

At this time, a shout sounded, "The list is posted! The government is posting the list!"

"Starting tomorrow, the government will recruit refugees one by one to work. As long as they work, they will distribute food, clothing, medicine and other supplies! Those who want to work should sign up!"

After they confirmed the news, countless refugees began to cheer, "Great, great!"

All believe that everything will be fine.

At night, after Yue Shu's family drank the porridge they had brought, they were also planning to discuss how many people from their family would sign up to work.

Just as Yue Shu was about to go in, he felt a hand on his shoulder, and the person behind him shouted his name, "Yue Shu!"

He looked back, "Grandfather!"

The young man Yue Shu met that day was none other than Qin Sheng.When he went to help deliver the goods that day, Liu Erxi asked someone to bring back a message, saying that the buyer's child might have worms in his stomach, and asked him to bring some pagoda candies.

Didn't it happen that he met Yue Shu and his son on the road, seeing the child's sickness, he gave them two pagoda candies casually.

Time was running short, Qin Sheng cut to the chase, and said straight to the point, "I came to you because I have something to ask. The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce will send a large amount of grain to the north in the near future, and plans to hire a group of people to escort it. Are you interested? "

Liaodong Chamber of Commerce?Yue Shu had heard of it.Although he was outside the city, news spread from time to time inside the city.

He asked quickly, "Gongong, are you from the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce?"

"It is."

"It stands to reason that I will help my benefactor no matter what, without wages. However, my family has not been settled yet, and I can't leave to go too far away." When he said this, Yue Shu was very angry. guilt.

"Then bring your family with you!" Qin Sheng said.

ah?Yue Shu was stunned.

"Young and middle-aged people escort food, and give three to five catties of food every day."

Yue Shu's heart moved, "Can my younger brother and the others be hired?"

"Yes. People like you will be given five catties a day. Ordinary young and strong will be given three catties a day."

Yue Shu calculated, there are four young and strong in their family, and they can earn more than ten catties of grain a day, which is completely enough for their rations, and there may be some surplus.

"On the way, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce will hire some strong women to cook and provide food."

"Engong, let me ask my father what he means?"

"Go, think about it, I'll wait for your news."

Yue Shu came back not long after he left, "Grandfather, we have decided to accept employment from the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce."

The main reason is that Nandi has ignored the victims for more than a month, which is too disappointing.

Although it was announced today that food, clothing, medicine and other supplies will be distributed for work, it is still unknown how much will be distributed.

The family of them discussed it and felt that the Nandi government could not be as generous as the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce.Moreover, Qin Sheng is their family's benefactor, without him, several big worms would be in the child's body, and they would not know it at all, it would be scary to think about it.

Anyway, they don't have a home now, so they escorted the food all the way north. If there is a good place, they will return to settle down after delivering the food.

Qin Sheng asked him, "The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce has a lot of people to hire this time, do you still have any candidates?"

Yue Shu nodded, "Yes." He knew many people like them.

"Then can you help me get a thread and talk about it?"

"Okay, benefactor, if you trust me, I'll ask."

"Then I'll leave it to you. By the way, if the other party is a veteran craftsman, he can also be hired."

"Ok, I see."

Yue Shu first looked for people from his own village, and the people in this village were moved, and then he looked for his relatives and friends.

In this way, people lead people, passengers lead tourists, and more and more refugees plan to go north.

In the original book, Yue Shu was a well-known general in the south, and his wife, children, and parents all died in the epidemic caused by the flood.He single-handedly joined the South Conquest Army and became one of the three great generals of the Conquest South Army. Later, he confronted Qin Sheng and was subdued by Qin Sheng.After Qin Sheng died of illness, he became one of the main generals in the fight against Xianbei.He spent his whole life as a soldier, but eventually died under the siege of the Xianbei army because of insufficient food and grass.

The time for the opening of the major city gates in the Southland has been fixed.

Because Xie Zhan did not want to cause unrest among the refugees, he agreed to give them the apocalypse at the east gate of the south city in the middle of the night and evacuate the refugees outside the gate.

Xue Xu, Qin Sheng, Wu Ren, Liu Erxi and others were ready to go, ready to transport a large warehouse of grain to the dock with all their strength.

This time, they also hired members of the Cao Gang and all Ji's staff at a high price.

This night, the section from the east gate of Nandi to the pier was very lively, and countless men were sweating profusely at work.

On the city wall, Xie Zhan watched the scene quietly.

"Patriarch, the grain transferred from Liaodong County is about [-] shi."

"Patriarch, they have transported a total of 20 shi of grain. Do you think they still have grain to transport?"

"There should be, but the food they didn't transport this time will not have another chance."

Busy until the light of day, after they loaded all the food on board, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce immediately paid them wages.

After the wages were paid, they were also given five catties of grain each.

The men who received their wages and food were all smiling. Food is so expensive now, and five catties of food is enough to feed the family for two or three days.

Xue Xu was about to board the ship, but was stopped by Qin Sheng, Wu Ren, Liu Erxi and others.

Xue Xu:? ? ?

Wu Ren smiled and said, "Mr. Xue, you don't need to go north with the boat this time."

Xue Xu's heart moved, and sure enough, she heard the next words.

"Mr. Xue hasn't returned to the Southland for three years. How can he pass through the house without entering? The master has already ordered us to prepare a gift for Mr. Xue. Mr. Xue can only go back to the Li tribe to stay for a while, and then slowly go north. It's not too late to return."

Xue Xu looked back and found that the things prepared for him were piled up all over the floor.

Xue Xu's heart warmed, all these people kept this matter from him.

"That's fine, I'd rather be respectful than obedient. Be careful all the way back."

"Mr. Xue, don't worry."

Then, Wu Ren boarded the boat with Ji Dashao and Gu Ershao.
