I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

Those who have never suffered from hunger or cold will never understand the pain.

It was so difficult to find a job that provided food at this time, let alone two meals.

"Sir, I...I..."

"I don't want money, just give me two meals."

"Sir, I can do it once a day."

"It's okay for adults to have two light meals."

......

The crazy crowd returned to its usual quiet state after Liang Shouyi whipped the air twice.

Liang Shouyi looked at Liu Sheng with some dissatisfaction and said, "General, it's too dangerous."

Liu Sheng didn't know that it would cause such a sensation, so he had to let them go to Yingzhou to stabilize it first and ensure that everyone would have work. There were many places in Yingzhou that needed people and ensure that everyone had enough to eat every day.

In the end, Liu Sheng only left some women with their children.

It is difficult to survive in such a cold and snowy place. They are unwilling to abandon their children, which shows that they are affectionate and righteous.

Under the same circumstances, Liu Sheng was still willing to help when he saw this situation.

With a group of women and food, Liu Sheng and Liang Shouyi arrived at the Sanggan River. The original landform could no longer be seen, and everything was covered with ice and snow.

There were people everywhere, stain after stain on the white snow.

Liang Shouyi looked at Liu Sheng with some uncertainty and said: "Are all the generals going to stay? If we don't drive them away, the Khitan people will definitely push more refugees towards us."

Liu Sheng looked at the endless flow of people and asked the woman to cook porridge, leaving two hundred soldiers to protect them.

Yi Yi and Liang Shouyi went north to find the steward who was looking for the Khitan.

He wanted to ask how many people were behind him so that he could prepare. He could not blindly provide disaster relief and let them all gather in Yingzhou City.

If hundreds of thousands of people are driven over, Liu Sheng must be prepared for a protracted war. No matter how much food he has, he cannot withstand the sudden increase of hundreds of thousands of mouths.

Even if we accept disaster victims, we must have a plan, and we must not accept more disaster victims than the local population. That would not be disaster relief, but the source of chaos.

Liu Sheng grabbed a refugee and said, "Brother, where are you coming from? How many people are behind you?"

The refugee glanced at Liu Sheng and showed no interest in opening his mouth, and followed the crowd numbly.

The guard beside him couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward and said, "What is our general asking you? He's deaf."

The victim fell to his knees on the ground, kowtowed to Liu Sheng, and babbled. Liu Sheng didn't understand what he was saying.

Liu Sheng glanced at the bodyguard dissatisfiedly, but the effect was definitely immediate.

There was a thin-faced man behind him and said: "Master Qi, he is not rude, but he does not understand Song dialect. I didn't expect that you are talking to him. I hope you will understand."

"We are sweat-stained tribesmen. The White Disaster flooded our homeland and caused our cattle and sheep to freeze to death. We were unable to pay this year's taxes. We were demoted as slaves and moved south.

We don’t know how many people are behind this. "

It seems that the Khitans have driven away all the people from the northern grasslands.

Liu Sheng and Liang Shouyi continued northward along the flow of people until they found the Huairen County Magistrate without asking how many people were behind them.

How many people were affected by this disaster? How many people were forced to move south? He only received a government order to move these victims to Yingzhou, and didn't know anything else.

This line seems to have no end, and the end is in sight.

Since he came, he had to go back, so Liu Sheng directly occupied Huairen County.

But we can’t afford to go further north, and we need manpower everywhere now.

The magistrate of Huairen County was more familiar with the change of gates than Liu Sheng, so he kicked the Khitans off the city wall and replaced them with Song flags.

This work was done very skillfully, as if it had been practiced thousands of times.

Liu Sheng looked at Zhizhu Yahua. He must have waited for the Khitans to come, and the county magistrate would still be replaced as before.

As for changing the county magistrate, Liu Sheng had never thought about it. There were not enough administrative officers in Shuozhou, let alone Huairen, a border town that changed its flag whenever he wanted. He would wait until Datong was conquered and stabilized.

What needs to be done now is to stabilize the victims.

Liu Sheng walked around the city, trying to find the woman who let the little fat man and Liu Sheng go away.

Unfortunately, they were not found. According to the county magistrate, it snowed heavily and many people did not survive until the snow stopped.

Liu Sheng felt sad for a while, thinking that mother and son were reunited in another world.

Ignoring the Huairen County Magistrate, he and Liang Shou returned to Sanggan River on horseback.

According to Liu Sheng's instructions, the women here have already cooked porridge in several large pots they brought.

I could smell the strong aroma of porridge even though I was far away.

But Liu Sheng stepped forward and took a look, where was the porridge? It's obviously a pot of thin water.

It is estimated that there is only a handful of millet in the pot, maybe a little more, but the grains can be counted. It is better not to distribute this kind of porridge. If the victims receive this kind of porridge, it is likely to cause dissatisfaction and then cause chaos.

And the aroma of the porridge just now is not comparable to this kind of millet porridge that is all water.

Sure enough, Liu Sheng saw a large pot of dried food. Liang Shouyi was about to go up to hold him accountable, but Liu Sheng stopped him.

Because he saw the woman's children and the victims who were eating porridge and smashing their mouths, he knew that it was not as dark as Liang Shou thought.

I saw the women taking out a bowl of rice from the dry rice pot and pouring it directly into the large pot of cold water.

They don’t think that the rice looks bigger this way, they really think that there is more rice like this!

...

Liu Sheng said to several women: "Don't be stingy with rice, put more."

Unexpectedly, the woman said, "Sir, there are too many people. No matter how much rice is eaten, it is not enough. This kind of porridge and water can't fill people up, but it can keep people alive."

Serving a bowl like this can help one person stay up all day and wait for the coming year. "

It makes sense, but the disaster victims have come all the way, so we can't fool them with this kind of thing.

Even though they were saving food for him, Liu Sheng still asked them to put more rice.

Even if there is a porridge shed behind, there is a place five miles away, and it is not like Xishui, Liu Sheng cannot accept it.

Perhaps Liu Sheng's words had an effect, or perhaps the woman looked at the pity of the victims and poured another bowl of dry rice into the pot to continue cooking.

Liu Sheng shook his head. People like this who have been hungry are the best at living and understanding. As long as it is not corruption, he does not want to interfere.

I saw the refugees who had been gathering at Sanggan River forming a long queue as before.

The number of people continued to increase, and Mi Xing led the sergeants of the cavalry battalion to divert the crowd and take them to the next porridge shed.

Everyone gathers here, and even if they queue to death, they may not even be able to get a bowl of porridge.

This also gave Liu Sheng some ideas. It was not an option for so many people to gather in Yingzhou. They had to disperse to the other three states.

Especially for places like Shuozhou that are short of people, you don’t need to make arrangements when you arrive in Shuozhou. As long as you’re not lazy, you can find work by yourself and support yourself.
