MTL - Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.-Chapter 1161 The fist is the truth!

Chapter 1161 The fist is the truth!

 Fortunately, Li Laoer took the prince's token and went to the dock barracks to bring back 200 wounded soldiers.

The wounded soldiers drew out their swords. The sharp blades were shining under the sun, almost blinding their eyes, and making people extremely frightened.

As a result, the team was immediately formed, and no one was crowded, noisy, or even fighting.

I have to say that at any time, a big fist is the right thing to do!

 The prince changed into ordinary clothes, acted like a steward again, and now walked around among the crowd.

Eunuch Feng was sweating hotly and followed quietly behind him. He wanted to go forward and persuade the prince to take a rest, but he was afraid that his master's identity would be exposed.

 Fortunately, Li Laoer came over and invited the prince to talk in the temporary shed.

"Your Highness, we are too busy today, so you should go back to the palace. Once everything is arranged for tomorrow, you can come over and appease the people."

The prince took half a step back, half-hidden behind Li Laoer, and said, "Don't worry, uncle, no one knows I left the palace, I'm safe.

“It is best to register the refugees in this way, so as to facilitate the arrangements for their subsequent return to their hometowns. However, providing food and accommodation for these ten thousand people is not a trivial matter, and the manpower of the Relief Department alone may not be enough.”

Li Laoer smiled and said, "Prince, don't worry, I have found a helper, and it is absolutely reliable."

The prince wanted to inquire, but a large group of people had already arrived from a distance.

More than 200 villagers from Broken Gold Beach arrived quickly, driving carriages and pulling iron pots, pottery basins, wooden barrels, etc.

The old village chief was tired from walking, his face was red, and he was the first to come to Li Laoer. As a result, he became even more excited when he saw the prince behind him.

Li Laoer was afraid that he would reveal his identity as the prince, so he greeted him first, "Uncle village chief, have you brought all the people in the village?"

The village chief waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, uncle, we have someone to look after the house. I was afraid of not having enough manpower, so I asked Lao Jing and the others to ask for dozens more people. Lao Jing said that there is no work for the family. If there is not enough, , just go back and shout again."

Li Laoer nodded and said, "Uncle, the village chief, thank you for your hard work. Hurry up and put up the shed, light a fire and boil water to make porridge. These people have been hungry for a long time. Let them have their stomachs full first, and then everything can be arranged."

"Okay, uncle, don't worry, just leave it to me." The village chief also knew that it was not easy to talk to the prince, so he nodded quietly and hurried to tell the villagers to unload the trucks and start work.

 Everyone quickly unloaded the truck, selected ten places and started building sheds.

There are many people and it is easy to work, but it is not a big project.

It's nothing more than digging holes, burying pillars, nailing purlins, and putting up thick straw curtains to make the roof.

 Then he quickly stacked the green bricks and set up the big iron pot.

 The carriage unloaded its things and was already pulling the bucket to fetch water.

 After pulling back the water, pour it into the pot, light the firewood, and green smoke will come out.

The refugees who were registering not far away could almost see through the shacks with their eyes.

Any promise is not worthy of belief for them.

 Only this smoking stove is the hope of survival!

 It is the most affordable thing in the world!

In just an hour, before the registration of the refugees was completed, the cornmeal porridge was already cooked.

 The big pot of golden porridge is topped with chopped green vegetables and even sprinkled with chopped green onions and salt.

　　It’s not that delicious, but the fragrance wafts far away.

The refugees' stomachs had long growled and they were completely in rebellion.

When Li Laoer saw this, he asked the old people at the Relief Department to knock on the copper basin and shout again.

“This is the first meal. You can eat it without signing! But if anyone makes trouble, kick them out immediately. You won’t even get a bite of it if you starve to death in the future!”

The refugees immediately swarmed to the porridge shack and lined up quickly. Even if they were pushed and pushed, they cursed at the top of their voices and did not dare to raise their voices. Soon, the vegetable porridge was distributed.

The refugees were holding bowls and started sipping on them before they had taken a few steps. They grinned and grinned and refused to stop...

The prince couldn't help but sigh, and whispered to Li Laoer, "Everyone says that Tianwu is in a peaceful and prosperous age now, and the country is rich and the people are strong, but the reality is so vulnerable.

"It's just a year of drought, and the people are in such distress. There are also those state officials who, with their high salaries, praise their talents, but when they really do practical things for the people, they all shrink. turtle."

These words are not very elegant. It is obvious that the prince is angry.

If it were in front of the emperor and courtiers, Li Laoer would definitely not respond.

 But facing the prince who grew up in Suijintan, he can be regarded as half of his own family.

He said, "Prince, there is no need to be discouraged. It is not easy to support all the people of Tianwu in the southern half of the Yangtze River, especially since the northern expedition every year consumes a lot of military rations. Therefore, Tianwu looks rich, but in fact it is empty.

“When the Northern Expedition is over, the rivers and mountains are recovered, and food is planted in both Jiangnan and Jiangbei, it will only take one year to recover.

"As for those officials who do not fulfill their duties, the emperor is kind and unwilling to punish them harshly. The prince can take his time and watch, and one day you can deal with them according to your own wishes."

The prince was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded solemnly.

At the end, he remembered something and said, "By the way, Uncle, don't worry about Jiaren. Although Fengshan was attacked by the Maitreya Cult, Jiaren responded in time and there was no loss.

“Furthermore, the Maitreya Sect intends to rush to the new capital and has no time to take care of Fengshan. Immediately, my father will also order the southwest border to dispatch troops to wipe out the Maitreya Sect, and the matter will soon calm down.”

Li Laoer naturally knew that his son was fine. After all, the messenger who went to Xindu to deliver the memorial also went to the Earl's Mansion.

 But the prince said this, I still have to appreciate it.

Just as he was about to say thank you, Zheng He came to find him. It turned out that a new batch of grain had been delivered...

Jiayin and grandma came out of the palace "weeping" and found out that their second uncle had taken on such a big errand, and that Mr. Wen would also leave Kyoto early tomorrow morning.

Old Mrs. Li was startled and asked, "Why are you leaving the capital at this time? Didn't you say that the Maitreya Cult is making a big fuss? Is there any danger?"

Mr. Wen quickly responded, "Don't worry, Auntie, the Maitreya Sect has just begun to confuse the people, and it doesn't have many followers yet, so it's not very popular. Besides, the state capital I'm going to is near Fengshan, and I just happened to go see Jiaren."

“It is his first time to be an official and he is the parent of a common people. He is also facing a disaster. I am afraid he is not confident. I will give him some courage.”

Original Mrs. Li is happy to have someone support her grandson.

But she still said, "Jinrou is not at home, have you brought enough clothes and supplies? And don't lack manpower to protect you on the road. What if the bandit blocks the road without opening your eyes? Hurry up and find Dayong. How much do you need?" Let a veteran go out with you."

Jiayin also said, "I'm going to sort out some regular medicines for my husband. As for the guards, Uncle Dayong is not familiar with sending people, so it's better to choose a few from the second village.

“Sir, please don’t refuse. When you are away from home, safety is your top priority. My aunt and child are still waiting for your husband’s reunion in Quanzhou!”

Mr. Wen could no longer refuse, so he could only nod.

Soon, Mrs. Li and Jiayin gathered another bag of clothing and supplies, and ten veterans from the second village also rushed in before the city gate closed.

Li Laoer stayed outside the city and lived directly in a thatched shed so that he could deal with anything at any time.

 Just in time, early the next morning, he saw Mr. Wen off.

 Shili Pavilion, because all the censors were going south, and relatives and friends came to see them off, the place was packed to the brim.

 Nowadays, the Maitreya sect is causing chaos outside, and there are refugees everywhere. Everyone in Xindu is aware of this.

Going out of Beijing at this time is almost like courting death.
