Chapter 30 Can this thing grow? An attempt to win over refugees!
Looking at the determined faces in front of him, Lin Zhongyun smiled again.
Then Lin Zhongyun quickly asked everyone to stand up.
What he has to do today is to reorganize all the refugees.
After the battle at the county government office, nearly three hundred of the original one thousand refugees were lost.
Even if the dozen or so guards were included, there were less than seven hundred people able to fight in the entire Lian'an City.
This number of people is far from enough.
Now there are refugees wandering all over Cangzhou.
Although there might be refugees fleeing to Lian'an City, this number of people is obviously not enough.
What Lin Zhongyun has to do is not just to assign a team to defend the city.
At the same time - Lin Zhongyun also needs to prepare to send people to take the initiative to welcome the refugees!
Lin Zhongyun handed this matter over to Li Zhongwu.
As a cowherd in the palace, Li Zhongwu often went out to cut fodder and knew exactly where the refugees were in Cangzhou.
This was a piece of cake for him.
As for the people guarding the city, Lin Zhongyun left behind five hundred people.
Five hundred people are not too many. If soldiers come to suppress them, they will be beaten to pieces in a snap. But these five hundred people are not too few either, and they can definitely maintain order among the refugees.
Afterwards, Lin Zhongyun asked someone to bring Master Yu over.
County government lobby.
Master Yu, who was no longer as glorious as before, walked in tremblingly. As soon as he entered the door, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Meet the Master."
In the past two days, whether it was the servants of the palace or the servants of the county government, they were all locked up in the county government's jail by Lin Zhongyun.
Lin Zhongyun did not let the refugees kill them all.
Although Lin Zhongyun did not know much about history, he understood the principle that water can carry a boat but can also capsize it. He did not want people in the world to regard him as bandits who only knew how to burn, kill and loot.
In order to prevent them from causing trouble in the city or running to other cities to file complaints, Lin Zhongyun had no choice but to lock them up.
"Get up."
Lin Zhongyun sat on the big chair reserved for the county magistrate and glanced at him indifferently.
It seemed that because he had not eaten for two days, Master Yu looked a little haggard.
He trembled and got up from the ground. After swallowing his saliva, he bowed to Lin Zhongyun again and said, "I wonder why you called me here, sir?"
Whether it was the corruption and abuse of power in recent years, or the various acts of oppression against the people after the drought, his shadow could be seen in everything that County Magistrate Chen did.
He naturally understood the hatred these refugees had for him.
Although he has said more than once that it is enough to live to his age in this world, but as long as he is a human being, how can he not be afraid of death?
During the past two days in the cell, he thought about this matter almost all the time.
"Master Yu."
Lin Zhongyun glanced at him calmly and said, "Do you know that the villagers all want to eat your flesh and sleep on your skin?"
"small"
Master Yu's body trembled instantly, and he collapsed to the ground again. His old face suddenly lost all its luster, and he said tremblingly: "I know."
"But I am willing to give you a chance." Lin Zhongyun suddenly changed the subject.
Instantly, Master Yu's expression froze, and he looked at Lin Zhongyun in disbelief and said, "Sir...are you serious?"
"Of course." Lin Zhongyun nodded very seriously.
Seeing this, tears rolled down Master Yu's eyes almost instantly. He didn't hesitate at all and immediately kowtowed to Lin Zhongyun, shouting as he kowtowed: "Thank you for your mercy, sir. Thank you for your mercy!"
"Wait." Lin Zhongyun interrupted him directly: "I haven't stated the conditions yet."
"Please speak, sir!" Without any hesitation, Master Yu immediately looked up at Lin Zhongyun, his cloudy eyes full of anticipation.
Lin Zhongyun didn't say much, but slowly stood up and took out the bag containing ten kilograms of sweet potato seeds: "Lead your people to plant these seeds."
Lin Zhongyun did not intend to give these seeds to the refugees' families to plant.
Although these refugees are no longer hungry, the reality is that when everyone is no longer hungry, a group has already been divided into large and small families.
Ten kilograms of sweet potato seeds were obviously not enough to share, and the sowing method of sweet potato seeds was different from that of other crops, so Lin Zhongyun had to watch it personally.
At least there must be no accidents with this first batch of seeds.
“???” Master Yu looked at the bulging cloth bag, his face full of confusion.
He was sure that he had never seen such a crop before.
He also had a doubt.
"Sir, given the disaster in Cangzhou right now, I'm afraid it's difficult to grow any crops."
A look of despair appeared on his face again.
What's the difference between letting him lead people to farm and killing them directly?
Are you really just trying to find a crime for him?
But before he could think further, Lin Zhongyun opened the bag in front of him, took out a sweet potato seed from it, and drew a kitchen knife from his waist in front of Master Yu.
"I'll only do it once, so remember it."
With the skills to control knife skills, Lin Zhongyun has now mastered the use of a kitchen knife to perfection.
The planting method of sweet potatoes is different from that of other crops. Even Lin Zhongyun himself has a rather vague memory of this planting method. Naturally, this group of people cannot grow it.
Lin Zhongyun naturally had to demonstrate it to him.
Fortunately, the sweet potato seeds provided by the system were already sprouted, which saved Lin Zhongyun a lot of trouble. He only needed to demonstrate the cutting method to Master Yu.
Master Yu had been staring blankly at every move of Lin Zhongyun's hands.
This is not difficult. You just need to cut the ball into pieces and make sure there is a sprout on each piece.
But it was precisely because of this that Master Yu felt even more disappointed.
I thought there would be some miraculous solution.
How could it be possible to grow something so simple?
"You must remember that this thing is the life of all of you. If any accident occurs, there will be no forgiveness."
After throwing the cut sweet potato seeds in front of Master Yu, Lin Zhongyun then handed five kilograms of sweet potato seeds directly to him.
At the same time, outside Lian'an City.
Li Zhongwu was looking at the 200 brothers in front of him, shouting loudly what Lin Zhongyun had taught him: "Brothers, the lord ordered us to welcome the refugees and help the people!"
"You must remember not to act recklessly and tarnish the reputation of your lord!"
"Yes!" The refugees responded without any hesitation.
Seeing this, Li Zhongwu nodded with satisfaction, and then took the lead and walked away.
Where are the most refugees?
It is undoubtedly the important town of Cangzhou - Wan County.
As an important town in Cangzhou, refugees from all over the world would go to Wan County to seek a glimmer of hope. Even Li Zhongwu had been there.
It’s a pity that Wan County has already closed its gates, just like guarding against the refugees guarding in front of the city as if they were enemies!
