Xiao Xiao successfully took the position of Jing Zhaoyin, and the first thing she did was to solve the shacks outside the city.The two Jingzhao Shaoyin originally thought that it would be ok to just ignore it, but since there was an order from above to demolish it, they just took the official messenger to force the demolition directly.

But Xiao Xiao didn't think so. If these people couldn't be properly settled, then the robbery and disturbance like before might turn into a big incident.Will he be able to put all these people in prison by then?Naturally it is impossible.So they had to find a place to settle temporarily for these people, and then send the refugees home after the battle in Ancheng was over.

Changqing has already retreated, and Liu Kaize sent back a message saying that Jiang Muyu had also returned to Feiyun.Therefore, the battle in Ancheng obviously won't last for too long. The United Tribes of the Grassland will persist for another half month at most, and then the civil strife in Xiangcheng will have to be resolved.So these refugees will not stay here for too long, Xiao Xiao thought about it, and decided to make these people big and small, small and nothing, and disperse them into the farms near the royal city.

Now it happens to be the spring day when all things are revived, and farmers should go to the fields to work hard for a year's livelihood.Wanglong County is the nearest county seat to Wangcheng, so Xiao Xiao and the county magistrate conspired for a while, and then moved the shack to an open space near Xiao Xiao's academy.

"It happens to be able to help me with my work." Xiao Xiao smiled like a little fox.

The place Xiao Xiao chose at that time happened to be at the foot of a mountain between Wanglong Town and Wangcheng. Except for the mountain road, there are all trees and flowers here, so Xiao Xiao has always wanted to build a concrete road, and by the way, replace all the forests on the mountain with fruit trees. and the like would be even better.Now there are just a few thousand white workers, Xiao Xiao calculated the expenses they needed, and felt that she could afford it, so she took people to the shanty town to persuade the refugees without hesitation.

The shack area actually exists in every city, and it is not far from the city gate.There are people who have to leave their hometowns but are not accepted by this city. Some will find some short-term labor in nearby villages and finally move out of this horrible area where all the filth in the world is gathered, while others will be assimilated until they become Part of this filth.

"What are the officials here for? Why, do you still want to collect money?"

Before Xiao Xiao got out of the carriage, she heard the sarcasm from outside, and when she got off the carriage, she saw a teenage boy scanning her side with malicious eyes, as if evaluating their value.Xiao Xiao thinks she is a person who has lived for more than 30 years and has lived in two worlds, but seeing the boy's eyes, she still feels cold from the bottom of her heart, because there is no popularity there.

"What do you mean wanting to collect money again?"

Xiao Xiao looked at the unkind people who surrounded him before entering the shanty town, and looked back at the guards Liu Ziming threw at him to feel at ease.Hearing what the young man said about collecting money, he had a bad premonition in his heart, and then it came true.

"Why are you pretending to be stupid!" A woman spat at Xiao Xiao's feet, then put her waist in and cursed: "You blood-sucking insects, why are we in the way of your eyes when we are alive! We were beaten when we failed to collect money a few days ago After a while, what do you think this time!"

As I said before, not everyone in this shantytown is willing to stay in this filthy place, so there are actually two types of people here, one desperately wants to leave, and the other desperately wants to take root here.Those who want to take root live in the shack area, they are one small gang after another, divide the shack area into several areas, and then make a living by oppressing the people who live in the same area with them.And those who desperately want to leave live on the outermost side, because this can be used as a shield when the officials arrive, giving them some buffer time to decide whether to fight or run away.

Most of the people around Xiao Xiao are the latter, that is, people who desperately want to escape from here.Some of them fled from Ancheng and stayed here helplessly, and some of them were here originally, but they all had miserable lives.On the one hand, they have to deal with the oppression from the bosses in the shanty town, and on the other hand, they have to face the exploitation from time to time by the officers and soldiers, so they are very unfriendly to Xiao Xiao's arrival.Hearing that the people around Xiao Xiao said Mr. Xiao was here, these people looked at each other and laughed loudly.

"Just you? Mr. Xiao?" The half-grown boy laughed the happiest, almost crying, bent over and covered his stomach and said, "You don't look as old as me, yet you actually say you are Mr. Xiao! I think Which aristocratic family are you from, you just ran out to entertain us!"

Xiao Xiao really doesn't look as old as this boy, after all, he is only seventeen or eighteen now, and he has never been treated badly, so he was raised in vain and tender.Wearing an official uniform, he was a bit embarrassed that idols on TV played tough guys, but he was not too angry, just quietly waiting for them to finish laughing.

"What do you think Mr. Xiao should look like?" Xiao Xiao smiled faintly, and then said apologetically, "I'm really sorry that I failed your expectations."

These people stopped laughing, and just probed with curious and vigilant eyes, as if they wanted to find evidence that he was lying.Especially the young man was the most obvious, so Xiao Xiao got out of the carriage and walked in front of him.

"I wonder if it's an honor for you to show me around here?" Xiao Xiao said to him with a smile.

The young man was startled at first, but then he showed a disgusted expression: "I don't have time to take the officials around! You can find whoever you like, and I don't care about you!"

After the boy finished speaking, he pushed away the crowd and left, leaving behind everyone who dared not speak out.But after a while, a thin man with wicked eyebrows and mouse eyes walked out of the crowd, jumped up to Xiao Xiao's side and introduced himself.

"My lord, I will take you around," the man smiled obsequiously, "I will take you around, no money required!"

Xiao Xiao stepped on the ground where the sewage was flowing, walked through shacks of different heights and materials, and finally directly erased the original plan in her heart.Originally, he thought too simply, thinking that as long as he said something, these refugees would follow him to resettle near the academy; but the reality was much more sinister, because these people's roots had already been deeply rooted in this land, and it wasn't just because of his words. Can talk to these people.As for the forced demolition, it was even more troublesome. He didn't want to add a few more piles of files to the already full pile of files on his desk.

Looks like it's going to take a while.Xiao Xiao let out a long sigh, then took a last look at the shack area in the twilight that was glowing orange like in an ink painting, and got back into the carriage.When he arrived at the government office, he called the two Jingzhao Shaoyin over, and told them that he would cancel the original plan.

"The situation in the shack area is too simple for me," Xiao Xiao shook her head distressedly, "Some of those fleeing refugees have even joined the robber gang inside, if these people are moved to the nearby villages of Wanglong County , maybe it will harm the nearby villagers."

Master Zhang nodded again and again: "That's it! If the shack area could be solved so easily, it wouldn't have existed for so long. I went to visit it with the previous Master Yang, but in the end I had to let it go. After all, the shack area is like a cowhide, at most it can be reduced, but it cannot be eradicated!"

Mr. Zhang is the older of the two Jingzhao Shaoyins.He was worried about Xiao Xiao going to the shanty town before, but he expected that the legendary Mr. Xiao could speak a few words like a god to wake up the group of people who he thought were hopeless, but after seeing After Xiao Xiao came back with a dark face, she knew that he might have failed.That's why he dared to reveal the fact that he went to the shanty town with Mr. Yang before, and express his opinion.

"In the view of the subordinates, it is impossible to impress this group of people with just a few words. They must see the benefits."

Mr. Zhang and Mr. Yang made many plans to clean up the shanty town, but they had to stop because of lack of financial support.Now the newly-appointed lord wants to be famous and have money, so he took out the several plans discussed with lord Yang before, and then looked at Xiao Xiao expectantly.

"Master Yang said these things to the officials, but we didn't have the human and financial resources at that time, so we couldn't do anything except discuss and discuss," Master Zhang also sighed, "Actually, Master Yang is really a good person." Officer, he takes pity on those children born in the shantytowns, and often takes us to deliver things to those who can't even afford rice soup..."

Children born in shack areas are not even in charge of their household registration.Born on the edge of the king's city but unable to enter, they are not like their parents and mothers who have the possibility of being a new person, but they can never leave this land once they are born.The half-grown boy who can't understand Xiao Xiao is a typical example.

The boy's name is Yan Rui. It is said that his grandfather who can read some words has been thinking about the name for him for several days.Yan Rui was once proud of his name, and he stood out among the scumbags in the small village, which made him feel that he was destined to become a big shot. Unfortunately, one day his father went crazy and killed the neighbor's family of three. , Therefore, he was sent to prison, beheaded in autumn, and decapitated.After all, the mother couldn't survive the bullying of the neighbors, and finally took him with her elder brother who planned to go to Wanglong County, but she didn't expect that the elder brother moved early, and finally his mother was captured by a small gang in the shanty town to work as a prostitute. .

Yan Rui was only seven years old at the time.

He took a knife that wished he could be taller than himself and stabbed it into the man lying on top of his mother, and then watched the so-called little boss vomit blood, and his heart was full of pleasure.The mother lost her sanity because of the abuse, she pushed the naked man away blankly, and then gnashed her teeth and stabbed him a few more times.

As a mother, she was just, and her mother finally ran away with Yan Rui, for fear of being held accountable.It's just that dead people are too common in the shack area. Although this is the leader of a small gang, the robbers are more concerned about the property he left behind than his death.So in the end, the desperate mother brought Yan Rui back to the shack in fear, and became one of those who wanted to leave desperately.
