My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

Because the county magistrate sent someone to invite them, the exile team took a break at a remote inn to have lunch.

As soon as he entered the guest room, Qin Mu said: "Brother, be careful and beware of the Hongmen Banquet."

"Find Qian Rong and come here to find out about the county magistrate's situation first," Qin Junyi said.

Qian Rong had taken the lead to purchase dispatching materials, but because the bridge was broken, he had been waiting in the county seat for many days.

Now as soon as the exile team entered the city, he got the news and rushed to the inn quickly.

After a brief greeting, Qian Rong answered Qin Junyi's question: "The county magistrate, Mr. Sun, is diplomatic and adheres to the golden mean, but he is very careful about the refugees.

Since the Zhuohe Bridge was repaired, more and more refugees have entered the city. Mr. Sun opened a warehouse to store grain, and also built many straw huts for the resettlement of refugees. In addition, refugees who intend to stay can also be assigned to settle in villages under their jurisdiction.

The most serious problem in the county now is the raging epidemic. Mr. Sun established an isolation zone in the north of the city, but it still cannot be effectively controlled. Just because people entering the quarantine area are equivalent to being sentenced to death, many people conceal their illness and are unwilling to be quarantined. "

Qin Junyi looked surprised: "The medicine doesn't work at all?"

"The news that the old slave learned has indeed had little effect."

"From now on, you will go with the team to avoid accidentally contracting the disease and not being able to treat it in time."

Qian Rong quietly glanced at Su Yunwan who was sitting beside him, bowed and said, "Thank you, Master."

After he retreated, Su Yunwan said in confusion: "The Dog Emperor has already obtained Yu Zhenzhen's prescription for treating the disease and spread it to the world. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be ineffective."

"I'll find out after I go see the county magistrate." Qin Junyi thought of something, and a sharp light burst out from his eyes.

"I will go with you."

"I'll go with you."

Su Yunwan and Qin Mu agreed.

With the officers and soldiers encircling Heifeng Village earlier, even if Qian Rong said that Mr. Sun had a good reputation, he was not sure whether he was harmless.

Qin Junyi said gently: "Wan Wan, we will speed up next. You stay at the inn and have a good rest. I will be fine."

"That's okay. You should investigate carefully. If the county magistrate really loves the people, I will leave some grain and herbs for him to distribute."

On the way into the city, Su Yunwan found many refugees coughing and begging on the road. Food and epidemics are two major problems faced by refugees, regardless of severity.

The 10,000+ taels of silver she harvested from the treasury were intended to be used by the people.

But when Qin Mu heard this, he immediately expressed his objection: "Sister-in-law, we have more than just the people in front of us, we also have thousands of troops coming together. If you have extra money and materials, why not keep them for emergencies. "

Qin Junyi's face darkened: "Third brother, raising soldiers is our business. Your sister-in-law can do whatever she wants. Don't say anything about it."

Qin Mu retorted: "But if my sister-in-law has that kind of money and materials, she might as well recruit troops or show kindness to the people, thereby giving others an advantage."

"Third brother!" Qin Junyi shouted sternly.

Qin Mu immediately stood up from the chair, bowed his head and pursed his lips tightly, his posture was submissive, but he still insisted on his opinion.

Su Yunwan pondered for a moment and said: "Zi Yuan, what Qin Mu said makes sense. Otherwise, let your soldiers be responsible for distributing relief food, and in the name of expanding the recruitment of caravan guards, recruit refugees with good physical fitness and character to join the army. , expand the military strength. As for this county, let’s take a look at the government’s drug reserves first.”

"Then it will be as you said, and we will discuss it in detail when I come back." After Qin Junyi finished speaking, he asked the government servant who reported the news to lead the way to the county government office for the appointment.

On the way, in the carriage, he warned Qin Mu: "Your sister-in-law's things belong to her. They must not be confused with our family. You are not allowed to interfere with her decisions in the future."

Qin Muyan said "yes".

Qin Junyi raised his eyelids: "Are you still not convinced?"

"Don't dare."

Qin Junyi sneered lightly, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't wait until it's too late."

"Brother, my sister-in-law is already the head mother of our family. As our family grows, my sister-in-law can live more comfortably and peacefully. Even my sister-in-law can figure this out, but you... you and your sister-in-law are married. They are one body, there is no need to separate them so clearly.”

Qin Junyi lowered his voice and asked, "Third brother, do you know how many magical powers your sister-in-law has?"

"Know something."

"So, do you think that since she has married me, she should contribute everything to our family?"

"I didn't think so."

"When we get used to enjoying the materials and conveniences brought by your sister-in-law, we will become more and more unrestrained in asking for benefits from her in the name of family members with a clear conscience."

Qin Junyi paused and then said: "Human greed and desire are endless. If you don't stick to the bottom line, you will surely sink step by step and become the kind of people we once hated."

Qin Mu said ashamedly: "I was short-sighted. I'll apologize to my sister-in-law when I get back."

"That's not necessary. Your sister-in-law has a heart for the mountains and rivers, and she won't care about this with you. For her, as long as the final result is that the people benefit, that's enough."

While the two were talking, the carriage suddenly stopped. Several skinny children rushed to the middle of the road with broken bowls, blocking the front of the carriage. Their voices were thin due to weakness: "Sir, please do your best. Enjoy the food that stutters."

The shadow guards guarding the car were immediately on alert, and the accompanying government officer sternly drove him away: "Get out of the way! Don't beg by force, get out of the way!"

The children, whose faces were so dark that they could not see clearly, did not dare to disobey the government officials. They quickly moved out of the way and stood aside, watching pitifully as the carriage passed by.

In the carriage, neither Qin Junyi nor Qin Mu opened the curtain and looked out. They had been fighting for many years, and they had already seen many countries destroyed and families destroyed, and people's livelihood suffering in the war, but even so, their hearts were still affected by it, and they remained silent all the way.

In the backyard of the county government office, Mr. Sun personally led people to the door to greet him.

A heavily guarded carriage drove slowly and stopped steadily in front of him. Qin Junyi grabbed Qin Mu's hand, stepped on the horse stool and fell to the ground.

Mr. Sun greeted him with open arms: "I have admired the name of General Qin for a long time, and now I finally meet him. He is indeed very impressive."

"Master Sun, you are exaggerating." Qin Junyi replied without being humble or arrogant, and sat down in the wheelchair pushed by Wu Shaohan.

The two exchanged pleasantries all the way to the banquet.
