Before Ye Yao saw the bandit village, he thought it was the same as in the previous TV dramas, but he didn't expect that it actually looked like a slum.

The wooden house, cave, and shed are completely different worlds from what he saw before.

People think more than Ye Yao. According to Mr. Xu's statistics, there are nearly a thousand people.

Xu Yiyuan took Ye Yao to a big house, the door was unlocked, Ye Yao went up and saw that there was no furniture inside, the floor was covered with hay, and he was like a crowd.

Those are basically old, young, sick and disabled, all of them are yellow and thin, and it is really unbearable to look directly at them.

Seeing them coming, Qi Shushu stared at them, but couldn't help shrinking inward.

These are people with no labor force, and they are arranged together for unified management, while the young people in their families can only switch on and off separately in order to prevent escape and resistance.

Ye Yao didn't speak until Xu Yiyuan took him to the side of the whole village, and he found a clean place to rest for a while.

"Does the princess have any countermeasures?" Lin Yibi Xu Yiyuan couldn't hold back, and asked him first.

Ye Yao raised his head, looked at the crowd, and then lowered his head.

There is a solution, but it is not the solution to the urgent need.

"If the concubine has nothing to do, it's better to go back to the county magistrate's mansion as soon as possible, so as not to worry the prince." Xu Yiyuan had already expected this result, but he was not disappointed.

Ye Yao raised his head again, and just as he was about to speak, Ye Lingshuang next to him spoke first: "Young people can be arranged to go to the Liu family's mine, and I can provide them with food and clothing. It's just that the old, young, sick and disabled still need to be resettled by the court."

Xu Yiyuan's eyes lit up: "Second Miss Ye is willing to lend a helping hand, that's great, these refugees are already being punished, and letting them go to work in the mines can avoid conflicts with ordinary people and make the best use of everything. "

"Second Sister." Ye Yao looked at her, disapproving: "These old people, children and young people are family members. Forcibly separating them may cause riots and resistance."

Ye Lingshuang lowered her head, thinking that if someone forcibly separated him from his family, she would not sit still: "Ah Yao said the same."

It is indeed difficult to arrange for these people who are far away from home and do not even have a place to live. After all, the ancient environment was self-sufficient. There were not so many jobs, so more jobs could only be created.

"Second Sister, where is the Liu Family Mine?" The ancient technology is backward, and the mining is all done manually, so there must be a lot of people. Since Ye Lingshuang said that it can be arranged, he can find a way to let them settle down near the mine.

"The nearest one is more than 100 kilometers away from Chun'an County." There are more than one Liujia mines, Ye Lingshuang picked the nearest one and said.

"Is there a town nearby?" Ye Yao asked again.

"I went to investigate before. There is a town at the foot of the mountain, but it's still a bit far away from the mine." Ye Lingshuang said.

"Are they criminals now?" Ye Yao hadn't understood the laws of Liangguo yet, and he didn't know whether the behavior of these people was a crime. If he broke the law and had no personal freedom, then it would be meaningless for him to think so much.

"If you are prisoners, you don't have to worry about how to arrange them. They will all be caught in prison or sent back to the north." Lin Yi frowned and complained: "There is no need to be so embarrassing."

"Oh." Ye Yao expressed understanding: "Then arrange for some young people to go to the mine, bring their families with them, and resettle them in the town at the foot of the mountain. Half of the resettlement expenses will be paid by the imperial court, and half will be deducted from their wages in the mine. , but this part needs to be taken care of by the Liu family first."

Ye Lingshuang is a businessman, and he doesn't do business at a loss, and Ye Yao doesn't want her to suffer: "Second sister, this group of people must have suffered a lot when they escaped from the north. Running around, the mine also needs a stable labor force, and training them into experienced miners will definitely be more beneficial to the follow-up personnel arrangement of the mine.”

What Ye Yao didn't say was that this group of young people took their families very seriously for being able to drag their families all the way from the north to Chun'an County, and it would definitely make them more grateful to make arrangements together with their families.

Ye Lingshuang felt that what Ye Yao said made sense, and looked at him with admiration: "What about the other group of people?"

"Isn't there a place to live in the village? Keep some people here, provide some seeds, and let them open up wasteland in suitable places. Young people will go down the mountain to find a place to open up wasteland. They will survive this year. They will go down the mountain to farm in the spring of next year, and then move slowly. Come down." Help can only be temporary, if they want to survive, it still depends on these refugees themselves, Ye Yao paused: "Some people pay attention to returning fallen leaves to their roots, if the drought in the north improves next spring, some people should be willing to go back, want to go back Those who don’t want to go back settle down at the foot of the mountain, and they have to rely on themselves anyway.”

When Ye Yao said this, the matter became much clearer. It was not practical for these people to rely entirely on the imperial court to support them, but they could still afford it during the period before the year.

"What the concubine said is very true, this subordinate will arrange it now!" Xu Yiyuan suddenly understood, and immediately wanted to do it.

Ye Yao glanced at him: "Don't worry, there is still something to explain."

"Princess, please tell me." With the solution to the problem that had troubled him for many days, Xu Yiyuan's complexion improved a lot.

"The houses here must be repaired. The weather is getting colder and we can't all sleep on the ground. First, ask the refugees if there are any carpenters or other craftsmen, and provide them with some tools. They will know how to repair it." Ye Yao After a pause, he reminded again: "Let them do what they can do by themselves, except for those who are really unable to take care of themselves, you can help, those who obviously have the labor force but don't do anything because of laziness, don't worry about it. They steal and bully others, and they are thrown into jail."

"Yes!" Xu Yiyuan bowed his head and was about to leave. After thinking for a while, he said to Ye Lingshuang next to him, "My subordinates will count the number of people first. If Miss Ye has any requirements for the miners, feel free to ask, and my subordinates will arrange personnel according to the requirements."

"Okay." Ye Lingshuang nodded: "Master Xu, please."

Lin Yi followed Xu Yiyuan to count the number of people and wishes, and Ye Yao and Ye Lingshuang walked around the village two more times before returning to the big house before.

The people inside basically didn't move, their eyes were confused, and it was very miserable to watch.

Ye Yao sighed. He has experienced a crueler end times than this, and he still feels that this group of people is really pitiful.

The days when you can have enough to eat are really the happiest times.

"Don't look, they'll be fine." Ye Lingshuang patted Ye Yao's head. Although she grew up rich and well-clothed, it's not that she doesn't know the sufferings of the world. When she visited her eldest brother at the border, she also saw the land trampled by iron cavalry. , that's really cruel.

It is very lucky that this group of people can escape to a safe place and meet people who think about how to keep them alive.

Ye Lingshuang pulled Ye Yao and was about to leave when a woman with a child in her arms burst out of the room!

The women are unkempt and the children are skinny.

The woman knelt in front of the two of them with the child in her arms, crying bitterly: "My lord... my lord, please save my son! He has had a fever all day and night, and he is about to die! Please take him to see a doctor, my daughter Even if you act like a cow or a horse, you will repay the kindness of the adults!"

It turned out that the child was sick.

The child must have been burned out, and his small body was huddled in the woman's arms, motionless.

Ye Yao turned pale with shock, and immediately squatted down and touched the child's forehead, and sure enough, he had a fever!

This child looked only three or four years old, and in this ancient time where he could die from a cold or a cold, he actually had a fever all day and night. Ye Yao was really afraid that he would be stupid!

Ye Yao felt the child's pulse, and then rolled his eyes. The initial diagnosis was a cold.

That's right, children's resistance is already weak, and the environment here is not good. In addition, the temperature difference between day and night is large recently, so it's no wonder they don't catch a cold.

Ye Yao looked at the woman with sincere eyes: "Give me the child, and I will take him down the mountain to see the doctor."

The woman hugged the child even tighter, Ye Lingshuang couldn't see it, she was the one who begged them to take the child for medical treatment, but A Yao agreed, and she went back on his word.

"If you don't want him to die, give the child to us, and send it back to you when he is cured," Ye Lingshuang said.

His sister's character is so straightforward, Ye Yao paused: "If you are worried, you can go with us, but your body is too weak, and it is too slow to carry him down the mountain, we can't delay any longer."

The woman hesitated for a moment, and finally handed the child to Ye Yao: "Thank you, sir! You must cure him, even if you want the life of the common woman, you must cure him, the only woman left is him!"

I was about to cry again while talking.

Ye Yao stood up with the child in his arms, and said to Ye Lingshuang, "Second Sister, help her up, let's go down the mountain quickly."

Miss Ye Er glanced at the woman, but didn't say anything, half helped her to stand up: "Let's go."

There were patrolling soldiers all the time in the village, Ye Yao recruited a man to tell Xu Yiyuan and Lin Yi, and hurried down the mountain with the child in his arms.

The driver at the foot of the mountain reclined in the driver's seat, allowing the horses to graze. Seeing Ye Lingshuang rushing over, he quickly got up to greet him.

Ye Yao returned the child to the woman when he got in the car, and got out of the car immediately with a towel: "You guys wait a moment."

There happened to be a small stream not far away, so he wet the towel and put it on the child's forehead, doing physical exercises to reduce the fever.

Ye Yao came back soon, and the woman held the child in her arms and huddled in the corner of the carriage.

"Second miss, are you going back to the county magistrate's mansion?" After sitting firmly, I heard the driver's question.

Ye Lingshuang hung the curtain of the carriage: "Go back to the county magistrate's mansion, the imperial doctor is just here."

"Okay, sit still." The coachman agreed, and the carriage started to run immediately.

After the speed of the carriage stabilized, Ye Yao looked at the woman and passed the wet towel over: "Don't cover him like this, put the towel on his forehead, he will feel better."

The woman immediately took the towel obediently, adjusted the child's posture, and muttered to herself: "Thank you, thank you."
