Outside the North City Gate, there are undulating mountains.

In early spring, new buds spit green, wild flowers bloom,

An official road, winding north.

The deserted official road in the past is now full of carriages, horses and crowds.

Embroidered clothes guards take double salary, plus high bonuses, to maintain order on the official road.

The shack on the left is free. The cement house on the right costs 100 yuan a month. If you want to live in a cement house, go to the right.

Can't tell the left from the right? Which hand do you use to eat? The right hand is the right hand to eat, remember?

If you can't bear the money, go to the shack on the left. It can also shelter you from the wind and rain. The imperial court provides two meals a day for relief. If you want to eat three meals, you have to pay for it yourself.

Don't get stuck on the road. There are still so many people behind you. If you get stuck here, everything behind you will be messed up.

Hurry up, hurry up. See the countertop covered with red cloth in front? Report over there, and you can ask them any questions.

Why spread red cloth? Of course it is for eye-catching. With so many people, if you don't use some eye-catching colors, can you find a place?

You can find the place because you can read and write, but it doesn't mean that everyone else can find the place if you can read and write. That's fine, fine, don't be verbose. The red cloth is not intended to ridicule anyone, it's purely for the convenience of everyone.

You are alone, separated from your family on the way? How many months pregnant? Has it been six months? No acquaintances have seen it? Lao Wang, Lao Wang, there is a pregnant woman here, her family is separated, you take her to register, See if we can find her family.

There are three other children here, who were also separated from their families, so take them all over.

Are you literate? Have you seen the wall in front of you? It's called the family search wall. There is a list of relatives posted on it. You can go and see if there is anyone you know. The resettlement site is too big. Tens of thousands of people live in it. I don’t know how much time it will take to search for them one by one. Our manpower is limited, so if you want to find someone, go to the marriage wall.”

The embroidered guards spoke dryly, with smoke coming from their throats. For the sake of double salary and high bonus, I endured it.

It was not until the shift change at noon that I was able to catch my breath.

Hurry to the public room behind the registration desk to rest, drink water and eat.

After taking two bites, someone rushed to the lounge and shouted, Go and call the doctor, a pregnant woman is about to give birth.

All the doctors were sent out, but none of them came back.

Then call one back. Hurry up. It's said that it's a dystocia. You can't rely on a stable woman without a doctor.

I'll call.

Hu San stood up.

He is a native of the capital city, his son inherited his father's business, and he has joined the Embroidery Guard for seven or eight years.

Hu San, like his father, is a silent and dull person.

It is not their father and son's turn to get promoted and get rich, and their father and son are indispensable to hard work.

Shangfeng doesn't value them, but he can't do without them.

Going up the peak needs people who are flattering, and people who need to work.

Hu San is a worker.

He put down the half-eaten meal, wiped his mouth, and entered the shack.

The low shacks are densely and neatly arranged on the hillside.

Row by row, row by row, standing on the top of the mountain, it is extremely spectacular.

Tens of thousands of refugees all chose to live in shack areas.

At the beginning, the imperial court estimated that there would be 40,000 to 50,000 refugees flooding into the capital, and Gu Jiu also recognized this figure, and all budget plans were made based on this figure.

However, the actual number of people who fled to the capital was much higher than the court's estimate.

Other cities do not accept refugees, the government does not care, and the locals drive them away.

Only in the capital city, the imperial court organized personnel, set aside territory, and set up refugee resettlement sites.

The news spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and soon spread throughout the entire northern region.

Refugees from all directions poured into the capital.

The shack area originally designed can accommodate about 40,000 to 50,000 people.

Almost in an instant, the shack area was full of people.

Nowadays, refugee settlement sites are organizing personnel, recruiting young and strong is inevitable, and working overtime to expand the shack area. At least double the size.

Repair houses, dig ditches, dig wells, dig septic tanks, and dig garbage disposal ponds. Make sure there will be no disease.

The doctors in the capital were all organized and entered the shacks in shifts to prevent the epidemic.

The shack area is both large and small.

A small shack, about the size of a room, can accommodate up to ten people.

With so many people crowded in such a small place, it is conceivable that the taste is really sour and touching.

Hu San sniffed, he was used to the smell after so many days at the resettlement site.

He walked along the road paved with loess, passed through shacks, and finally found the doctor.

The doctor is prescribing medicine for the elderly and children.

Hu San stepped forward and said, Doctor Chang, there is a pregnant woman with dystocia, I need you to go there quickly.

Wait a minute.

I can't wait. It's too late, I'm afraid it will kill two people.

As soon as he heard about one dead body and two dead, Doctor Chang had no choice but to put away his toolbox and prepare to leave.

Before leaving, I did not forget to remind the refugees, It is important to be hygienic and not to drink unboiled water. The water must be boiled before drinking.

Hu San couldn't wait, so he dragged Dr. Chang and left the shack in a hurry.

Doctor Chang, with his old arms and legs, almost died halfway.

Finally arrived.

The situation of the parturient was very critical. Dr. Chang entered the delivery room before he could catch his breath.

Hu San wiped the sweat off his forehead, went back to the lounge of the public house, and ate up the cold food without even a single grain of rice left.

After eating, I poured another large cup of tea.

The tea brewed by Kudingcha has a very strong taste, but it is particularly refreshing.

Hu San shook his head, took a killing stick and a waist knife, and went to patrol the shack area with his companions.

The population of the shack area is approaching 100,000.

Far beyond the original court's estimate.

Gu Jiu's budget was completely overturned, everything from money to food to quilts and clothes was doubled.

For this matter, she has already fought several saliva lawsuits with the Shaofu and the household department.

The storyteller held the Da Zhou Life Show in the shack area to explain the refugee notices, the three elements of resettlement, and the ten elements of safety...

The refugees gathered around the storyteller, listening with gusto.

This can be regarded as one of the few spiritual relaxations on the way to escape.

Newsboys organize refugee children, teach them to speak, and publicize various safety instructions.

The recruitment point is located directly in the shack area.

Recruiting coolies, recruiting needleworkers, recruiting laborers...

The recruitment point is divided into men and women, and there is a long queue in front of each table, which can't be seen at a glance.

Where do these refugees come from? There are more and more people. There are still so many people coming from the official road.

Wang Xiaowu, who was on the same team as Hu Sanyi, frowned, very worried.

He couldn't tell what he was worried about, anyway, seeing so many people, he felt very worried.

Hu San hummed, I heard people say that the Northwest Army has begun to mobilize and will soon drive out the Northwest Army.

Wang Xiaowu snorted, Stupid. The Northern Rong army has received supplies. Will it stop at the same place and wait for the Northwest Army to come to the door? This battle must be fought. Let me tell you, there will only be more and more refugees. Beirong started fleeing before it could get there.

Look at the family in front, they are all neatly dressed, they must have brought out all their valuable belongings. Even though he has money, he is reluctant to spend some money to rent a concrete house, so he wants to live in a shack. The smell of this place is so bad, the shacks are short and dark, and when there are so many mosquitoes, rats and ants in summer, I don't know how they think they are willing to live in the shack area.

Maybe there is no money. Hu San was very straightforward.

Wang Xiaowu repeatedly denied, That family can rent a cement house for two pieces of clothes. Do you think they have no money? Hey, no defecating anywhere, his grandma didn't listen to the resettlement order. Three elements?

Wang Xiaowu picked up the killing stick and hit a young man in the corner.

He was very angry, So many people live here, you fucking shit everywhere, you are not afraid of getting sick? Are you responsible for getting sick? Clean it up for me, if I don't clean it up, I will kill you.

Hu San stood at the intersection, holding a killing stick in one hand and the handle of a knife in the other, watching the refugees around vigilantly to prevent people from making trouble.

There were more and more people watching, and he had to remind Wang Xiaowu, Hurry up. We have to go to the next area to patrol.

Wang Xiaowu said loudly: I'm supervising him to clean the ground. You guys, when you moved in, the people at the resettlement site repeatedly ordered you not to defecate and urinate anywhere. This is for your own good. You are all deaf. Is it? The latrine is only a few steps away from here, so I refuse to walk over it.

Whenever the latrine passes by, there will be no pits. Someone in the crowd protested softly.

Wang Xiaowu yelled, If you don't have a pit, you don't know how to wait in line outside? Damn it, don't one or two of you understand people's words, what does queuing mean? You have to be arrested and imprisoned in Zhaoyi. Will you learn to queue?

It takes a long time to line up. People have three urgencies. Don't wait. Protests came from the crowd again.

Who's talking? Come out to me! Wang Xiaowu looked ferociously, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, I tell you, if one day there is an epidemic in the shack, you deserve it all. If you don't follow the health regulations, You're going to kill yourself sooner or later.

Are you cursing us?

I don't have time to curse you. The health and safety instructions are publicized every day outside, and doctors are also sent to explain the living regulations to you. Haven't you heard one or two? Do you think the court is making a fuss? You idiots, do you understand it, or the court? The official master understands, the doctor understands? The official master and the doctor don’t listen, what are you doing if you are not looking for death? Could it be that the government paid for you and dug latrines for you to harm you?”

Wang Xiaowu has such a violent temper, and directly confronts the refugees.

Seeing that the refugees were agitated and tended to cause trouble if they disagreed, Hu San made a decisive decision and pulled Wang Xiaowu to leave quickly.

Wang Xiaowu was still very angry, and complained after walking all the way, What are you pulling me for? Those idiots just owe a lesson.

Hu San said solemnly: We only have two people, and they have tens or hundreds of people.

Wang Xiaowu snorted coldly, I don't believe they dare to do it.

Hu San frowned, It's not a big mistake to be careful. After the shift is changed, report the situation here and see if it will be dealt with.

It's a big deal, what are you doing in the report, let people see our jokes? Let's go, continue patrolling.
