- As the convoy got closer and closer to the city gate, Daohua noticed that many refugees gathered outside the city gate.
In the biting cold wind and snowflakes, the refugees shivered and huddled together. When they saw the convoy approaching, they all crowded around.
When the escort saw it, they immediately drew their sabers and watched the refugees warily.
When the refugees saw the guards taking out knives, they were so frightened that they stepped back one after another.
On the city wall, the general guarding the gate saw the convoy downstairs and immediately guessed that these were the family members of the newly appointed Lord Zhenfu. He quickly ordered the city gate to be opened and led people to greet them and disperse the refugees so that the convoy could Free passage.
"This is Lord Zhenfu's family, no trouble is allowed."
Hearing this, the refugees who were staring at the supplies on the carriage with green eyes silently withdrew their gazes.
The new Lord Zhenfu is a good official. On the second day after arriving, he set up a porridge shed at the gate of the city and also had someone build a straw shed to prevent them from freezing to death in the ice and snow.
In the carriage, Daohua frowned when she saw that all the refugees were as skinny as firewood and wearing thin and ragged clothes. The life of the people in Xiliang was worse than she had imagined.
Seeing that all the convoys arrived in the capital smoothly, the gatekeeper general secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The last time the Xiao Mansion escort team entered the city with a large amount of supplies, the refugees rushed forward desperately, and many people were killed or injured that time.
Fortunately nothing happened this time.
The convoy entered the city and the city gate was closed again. The refugees retreated to the thatched hut one after another, looking eagerly in the direction of the porridge shack, waiting for the porridge soup in the evening.
Xiliang implements a health office management system, which does not include prefectures, prefectures, counties and other regions. The health office is responsible for both military construction and civil administration.
Liangdu, where the capital commander is located, is equivalent to the provincial capital of other provinces, and the nine guard posts below are equivalent to the capital city.
Ganzhou Guard is the guard station with the largest defensive area in Xiliang, and it is also the closest guard station to Xiliao. The city of Ganzhou is built very large, and the city walls are thick and high. It looks very grand from the outside, but the city is a bit depressed. .
There were not many shops open for business on the street. It wasn¡¯t until we reached the center of the city that it became a little livelier.
"The economy is too depressed."
Not long after, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate brought Daohua and his party to Xiao Mansion.
Having received the news in advance, Deshou had already been waiting in front of the gate.
"Prince Princess, you have finally arrived!"
De Shou gave the gatekeepers a dime of silver, greeted Dao Hua and Gu Jian outside the carriage, and then led the convoy directly into the mansion through the corner gate on the side.
?¡
"This mansion is quite big!"
After entering the door, Daohua got out of the carriage wearing a cloak and carefully looked at the house where she would live in the future.
De Shou smiled and said: "This mansion is where all the previous commanders have lived, so it is naturally built larger."
Daohua couldn't help but smile after hearing this: "Your eldest son is not polite at all. He is a small governor, but he actually lives in the commander's mansion."
She understood why Xiao Yeyang did this.
What I saw along the way after entering Xiliang fully demonstrated that the situation in Xiliang was very bad.
In this case, Xiao Yeyang did not have time to develop slowly, adjust and negotiate with other people. He just had to act high-profile and domineering so that he could better implement administrative orders in the future.
Living in the mansion where previous commanders lived is to tell everyone that Ganzhou Guards took over and he has the final say here.
De Shou took a look at Dao Hua's expression and saw that she was not surprised at all, nor did she feel anything wrong. He thought to himself that the Crown Princess understood her master.
When the master wanted to move in, he and Defu persuaded him for a long time.
The master gave them a look that said, "You don't understand."
As Daohua walked, she asked, "Where is the prince?"
DeShou: "Master has taken some people to patrol the defense area."
Daohua asked again: "Why are there so many refugees gathered outside the city gate?"
When he mentioned this longevity, he looked angry: "It's not a good thing done by the Xiliao people. Every winter, the Xiliao people like to cross the border to snatch wealth and food. Several villages and towns under the jurisdiction of hundreds of households are robbed by the Xiliao people." ¡±
"Those Xiliao people not only robbed things, but also set fire to their houses. The people had no money and food for the winter and houses to live in, so they had no choice but to flock to Ganzhou City to seek a way to survive."
Speaking of this, De Shou became even more angry.
"Concubine, you don't know that before the master came, no official stood up to take care of the refugees outside the city. I heard that many people froze to death and starved to death."
?Daohua frowned: "These Ganzhou Guard officials are too inactive."
There are five entrances to the mansion. After Xiao Yeyang moved in, he only tidied up the front yard slightly before moving in. He had no time to tidy up the other yards at all.
Daohua walked around for a while, and then asked people to clear out the two adjacent yards.
There are only three masters in the house: she, Xiao Yeyang and the master. There is no need to live in a large space. Now that she has just arrived in a strange place, she is also worried that the master will not adapt to it, so she thinks it is better to live closer.
We will talk about other courtyards when she is free.
After driving for two consecutive months, Daohua and Gu Jian were exhausted. After cleaning up the house, they ate something and took a rest.
Early the next morning, while Daohua was still curled up in the warm bed, Gu Yu came in and said that Deshou wanted to see her for something.
Listening to the howling wind outside, Daohua didn't want to get up and asked, "What does Deshou want from me?"
Guyu: "The prince allocated a batch of food before and asked De Shou and the officials from the health center to give porridge to the refugees outside the city. Now it seems that the food has run out."
When Daohua heard this, she immediately sat up. After getting dressed and washing, she went outside to see Deshou.
"Who is in charge of the porridge shed?"
De Shou replied: "They are slaves, and there is also a governor of the guard station."
Daohua nodded and looked at Guyu and Lixia: "You two take people to check the warehouse."
Although she brought a lot of supplies, Xiao Yeyang mobilized a lot. Now she had to see how many supplies were left so that she could have an idea.
Daohua looked at Deshou: "How much grain has been allocated by the prince before? You go and get another batch. Remember, you must take good care of these grains and avoid corruption."
De Shou nodded quickly: "Prince Concubine, don't worry, I will take good care of you."
Daohua said 'hmm', and then pondered again: "I'm afraid it's not enough to just give out porridge. It's too cold outside, with wind and snow. It's too cold to stay in the house. How can those refugees outside the city survive?" live?"
"In this way, after you receive the food later, go to Guyu to get a batch of medicinal materials, and boil two pots of cold-repelling medicinal soup for the refugees to drink every day."
"By the way, if you don't have enough manpower, go to Dr. Ge. He has several medical apprentices."
De Shou nodded in agreement: "I will do it now."
After Deshou left, Daohua put on her cloak and went to Gu Jian's yard to have breakfast with him.
In the front yard, Governor Zhang Da saw Deshou pulling several carts of grain out, and his heart dropped back to his stomach.
God knows how worried he is. He is worried that without Mr. Xiao, he will not have food. Without food, at least half of the refugees outside the city will die.
