Clang!

Without saying anything, Liu Yu drew a saber from the waist of the soldier beside him, took two steps to the old man, and put the sharp saber directly on his neck.

"I'll give you another chance."

"After this time, you will never see the sun tomorrow again."

"Don't, don't get excited!" The old man shook his head hurriedly, "I'll tell you now."

"My name is Yang Yi, and I'm from Mount Tai in Yanzhou."

"I was an official in the court before, and I accidentally offended someone, so I was framed and exiled to Bingzhou."

"This time I took advantage of the chaos to escape and wanted to return to my hometown."

"To see my underage daughter."

"I'm over the age of destiny. If I don't go back again."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to see my daughter."

As he spoke, two tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

Xu Huang was moved by his affectionate look.

Liu Yu withdrew his saber and squinted his eyes to look at the old man in front of him.

The emotion was full and sad, and the look of missing his relatives did not seem to be made up.

However, he had some doubts about the identity of the person in front of him.

"What official do you hold in the court?"

"Where were you exiled to Bingzhou before?"

"Also, what is your relationship with the Yang family of Taishan?"

A series of questions made the old man with tears in his eyes stunned on the spot.

He did not expect that the other party was so smart and would not let him go.

"This..." He hesitated a little, and found that the other party raised the knife again, and waved his hand and said hurriedly.

"I can say it!"

"But please don't call the government officials!"

"Also, I can read and write, and I can help manage these refugees."

"Just give me a bite of food, that's enough!"

Slightly observing the expression of the young man in front of him, the old man hurriedly said.

"I am just a minor official in the court. Because I offended people by speaking without restraint, I was exiled to Shuofang, Bingzhou."

"I know my destiny is coming soon, so I want to return home to see my daughter."

Liu Yu frowned, "Aren't you afraid of being arrested by the government when you return home?"

"Uh... well..." The old man hesitated a little and said, "The Yang family still has some connections in Yanzhou, and can take care of it a little."

"In addition, after such a long time, I want to find a way to remove the crime and start a new life."

Speaking dry, the old man found that the young man opposite did not respond, which made the old man very anxious.

He was afraid that the other party would stab him.

"Come with me, work for a year, and then I will let you go." Liu Yu said with narrowed eyes.

"I'm short of literate scholars, so I'll just lend it to you."

"If you disagree, you can choose between a knife and reporting to the authorities."

"Don't report to the authorities!" The old man waved his hand quickly, "I'll help you! But you must keep your word, just one year!"

"Don't worry, I'll keep my word." Liu Yu nodded, "Now, start working immediately."

"You are responsible for asking the separated people about their hometowns, and carefully registering them. There must be no mistakes or omissions."

"Yes!" The old man nodded helplessly, and a soldier stuffed a pen and paper into his hand, and he turned around to work.

But he heard the young man behind him say, "Come two people to follow him. If he dares to run away, just chop off his head."

Such words made the old man tremble, and the idea of ​​running away that just popped up in his mind disappeared in an instant.

Zhang Fei, who happened to be returning with the farm team, saw everything and came to Liu Yu and asked in a low voice: "Master, our farm is so short of Confucian scholars, will you really let him go after a year?"

Zhang Fei didn't wait for the answer, but saw a charming smile on Liu Yu's face.

Ignoring the Confucian scholar with a questionable origin, Liu Yu started to deal with more than 40,000 refugees.

The supplies in Zhen's mansion were just used.

Select some young and strong people from the crowd to go to Zhen's farm outside Zhongshan City to get food and cooking utensils.

Not long after, smoke from cooking began to rise in the wilderness.

More than 40,000 people were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

Master Liu really kept his word. He said he would give food, and he really gave food.

Although he only gave porridge now, if he wanted to have a full meal, he needed to follow him to Youzhou.

Efforts to open up wasteland and grow food can be eaten.

But it also gave everyone hope to survive.

It was as if a ray of light was seen in the darkness.

More than 40,000 people were very grateful.

A little porridge was distributed to each person, and they sat on the ground in the wilderness and ate it.

The refugees' eyes and noses were sore.

Liu Yu ordered Xu Huang to lead the young and strong men selected before to watch over these refugees.

Absolutely no movement should be allowed.

Anyone who makes trouble will be punished severely.

He returned to the city.

The Zhen family's property had been dealt with, and the rest was packed up and taken away.

The Zhongshan County Governor on the city wall was already scared silly.

He didn't know how the young manHow could so many refugees be so well-behaved?

Gathering in the wilderness and sleeping outdoors, staying together honestly, such a scene made him feel deeply moved.

The news spread wildly in the city.

It broke the ideas of some people who wanted to do something shady.

If 40,000 refugees went crazy for food, they would have no idea how destructive it would be.

If the young man yelled and asked the refugees to fight with these landlords, it would probably evolve into an unimaginable situation in an instant.

Under Liu Yu's order, all kinds of materials in Zhen Mansion were loaded overnight.

The servants got busy, and worked hard under Liu Yu's encouragement and beating.

Compare the groups, reward the fastest and best groups, and punish the slow and bad groups.

Under such a comparison, all the servants in Zhen Mansion dare not relax at all.

Work hard.

Zhen Jiang brought her four sisters to watch the busy mansion all night, feeling a lot of emotion in her heart.

It was so good not to have to worry about such a big thing.

It made the five sisters feel very relieved.

The next morning, just after dawn.

A huge team walked out of the Zhen family mansion.

The servants pulled the newly made wooden carts of different sizes out of the city and gathered in the wilderness.

The farms in the county and the managers of the Zhen Mansion in Wuji County returned with the servants who were willing to go to Youzhou according to Liu Yu's previous instructions.

The huge caravan gathered from all directions towards the Zhongshan government.

The wilderness was endless, crowded with people and traffic.

The heads of the wealthy families in the city who heard the news ran outside the city to watch the excitement.

Even the two legitimate sons of the Wei family came to the city wall and looked at the wilderness with Zhang Chun, the governor of Zhongshan County.

The mighty team marched northward.

The people who saw the scene had different thoughts in their minds.

Zhang Chun breathed a sigh of relief.

The two legitimate sons of the Wei family sighed in their hearts that such a large family had rapidly declined after the male members died one after another.

Instead, they became the property of others.

Such a situation made the two people resolute in their hearts that they must get married early, have children early, and have more children and cultivate more.

Even if they had an accident, there were still people who could support them.

Unlike the Zhen family, which collapsed so seriously.

Now that I think about it, the eldest daughter of the Zhen family is also somewhat wise.

She understands the principle of holding a treasure and being guilty.

Selling the property and leaving the wealthy Zhongshan is definitely a clear move.

If you stay here, the ending will not be good in the future.

Not only can you not escape the fate of being annexed.

You can't escape the fate of being abandoned after being used.

From then on, there is no Zhen family in the world's five major merchants!

And the highest position was left for the two Wei families to compete for.

Standing on the city wall, the two heirs looked at each other, snorted coldly at the same time, and turned their heads away.
