Chapter 116: The New Prefect (Central)
After leaving the city, County Magistrate Li quickly brought back the prefect's order to open the charity warehouse to serve porridge, but no refugees were allowed to enter the city.
When he saw the order transferred from Kuaiji County, County Magistrate Lu took it seriously and said angrily: "This shameless old man, before he left Shaoxing City, he was busy curling the person outside the city." It happened that his daughter Wan'er came in and saw her father's face angry, and asked, "Who made Dad angry?"
County Magistrate Lu did not hide it from her, but explained the story clearly. Finally, he said angrily: "Everyone says that tea is cold when people leave, but Old Man Li is cold before people leave!"
Lu Wan'er advised him, "I know that my father is in a bad mood for the past two days, and his political affairs are also deserted. The old mansion is generous, and you can do this without any major problem. But there is a saying that 'a general and a god and a magical deed.' If the new mansion is a decisive master and his father is lazy like this and leaves a bad impression on him, it will be difficult to do errands in the future."
County Magistrate Lu thought about it and smiled embarrassedly at his daughter, "I am still struggling with what Old Man Li thinks clearly, and it is really not necessary." Then he cheered up and arranged for Shanyin County to start releasing food.
With the food to maintain life, the emotions of the victims finally stabilized temporarily. On February 27th, when Lord Fuzun entered the city, there was no trouble. That morning, Shen Jing came to Shen Mo to see the Lord Fuzun enter the city, but Shen Mo was not interested. He was busy recently than when Mr. Shen was there... He spent most of the day reviewing his homework, and half a day studying the military books maps he got from County Magistrate Li. In the war years, it is always useful to learn this... Although he can't go to the battlefield, he can still hide in the back as a dog-headed military advisor.
However, there are many things in the military books that cannot be understood. He felt that he had to ask someone for advice, so he remembered Xu Wei... I remember that when I heard them talk nonsense at his house, the one who talked the most was the art of military affairs, and Xu seemed to understand it quite well.
When he went to Xu Wei's house to ask, there was indeed nothing he didn't understand. But after answering three questions, he let Shen Mo ask repeatedly, and he stopped answering. Shen Mo was wondering, but when he saw Xu Wei keep touching his stomach, he suddenly realized that he still owed him three meals.
He had to take the proud Xu Wei to a clean restaurant, and ask for a quiet single room to order a good table. Xu Wei was satisfied and said everything about his questions. Finally, he declared: "In the future, one roast chicken is one, five questions are one jar of good wine. If you want to have a good time, you have to use the same table as today."
In order to complete basic literacy as soon as possible, Shen Mo was slaughtered and indeed brought wine and meat to him every day. Xu Wei was very proud at first, but later Shen Mo's problems became fewer and fewer, and it became more and more difficult. After more than a month, he didn't come to him for several days.
This made Xu Wenqing, who was so fond of his mouth, was very worried. Finally, he couldn't help but find out the Sanren Business in Baoyouqiao Street. He took great effort to convince the eldest son that he was really Shen Mo's friend, not a weird uncle who came to borrow money or eat for free.
When he went in, Shen Mo was sitting in the patio basking in the sun, holding a book in his hand, but it was the "Tang Li Wenlu" he introduced to him last time, which is a more practical military book.
When he saw Chen Si getting up to greet him, Xu Wei shouted strangely: "Do you have no money?"
Chen Si said strangely: "Why do you say this?"
While he got up, Xu Wei sat on Shen Mo's easy chair, picked up a string of red cherries from the fruit plate on the small table, stuffed them all into his mouth, chewed them hard for a few times, swallowed the sweet and sour juice into his stomach, and spitted the seeds while vaguely saying, "You must have no money, otherwise why don't you ask me questions?"
He moved a chair helplessly and sat opposite Xu Wei and said, "I will try my house in a few days. I have to work hard to review my books recently."
Pointing at the book in his hand, Xu Wei fussed: "Does the "Tang Li Wenwei" also take the exam?"
"I'm tired of reading, just change my mind." Chen Si smiled bitterly and said, "Are you here to find me for this?"
"No." Xu Wei shook his head and said, "I want to have a meal with you."
Silent said helplessly: "Okay, let's go for a meal." Then he went into the house to get his purse.
Xu Wei shook his head and smiled, "You don't have to bring money this time, someone invites us to dinner."
Silent said strangely: "We?"
"I know when I'm here!" Xu Wei stood up with a string of cherries and said, "Isn't it a pleasure to take two or three singing girls and five or six friends to sail on the Jinghu Lake?"
Chen Si did not listen to his tricks and sneered: "I think it's a trap."
Xu Wei glanced at him and said, "It's just a trap, are you willing to go?"
"Go." Chen Mo said without hesitation: "I like to jump into the fire pit the most."
The two hired a carriage and walked out of the city. Now there are no refugees gathering outside the city... For refugees from other places with complex sources, the new prefect ordered the disposal separately. For those who can protect each other for more than five families, they are allowed to enter the city to live, and the strong ones are selected to be incorporated into the militia. The elderly, weak, women and children either open up land or farm or enter the factory to work. All of them make the best use of the people, and they did not arouse much resentment from the residents in the city.
As for those who cannot be protected, the prefect strictly prohibited him from entering the city and ordered him to open up land and farm in neighboring villages. He also ordered the chiefs, chiefs, households, etc. of each township, and reported them at any time if there is any abnormality... He wrote in the notice that "the situation is inconsistent and it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. It is a necessity. I hope you can understand and cooperate." It is really tenable in theory.
When they left the city, the two found that the city defense was significantly strengthened, and even when they went out, they had to check their identity and register their names and addresses. It took a lot of trouble to leave the city.
After leaving the city, Chen Si's curiosity became stronger... He was a cautious person. The reason why he followed Xu Wei out of the city at the risk of encountering Japanese pirates was because he wanted to solve a mystery in his heart, that is—
Chen Lian, Xu Wei, Tang Shunzhi, He Xinyin and others are obviously familiar with each other and understand each other. Although their personalities are different, they have a high degree of consistency in their thoughts. This common thing exudes endless light and heat. Under its illumination, all living beings in this world of flowers are actually eclipsed!
