Zhao Tai could only put Wang Bin's matter aside for now. His main consideration now was how to evacuate the gathered refugees.

Qiu Yue asked him to block the refugees because he didn't want to save these people in the Central Plains. Zhao Tai definitely couldn't do this.

Because he currently does not have the ability to resettle more than 100,000 refugees, unless the Southern Song Dynasty is willing to provide him with money and food, he can only help these refugees go to the Southern Song Dynasty.

Nowadays, the internal conflicts in the Southern Song Dynasty are actually quite acute, but they are very wealthy after all, and they have a tradition of integrating refugees into the army.

Although Qiu Yue was unwilling to accept them, these refugees fled to the Southern Song Dynasty. The Southern Song Dynasty would not do anything to cook them, and they would definitely provide relief.

In this way, the refugees who fled to the Southern Song Dynasty had a great chance of surviving.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tai said in a deep voice: "Let's put Wang Bin's matter aside for now. I will write a letter to him again and visit him in person when I have time. For now, let's solve the refugee problem first."

Wang Wentong nodded: "What are you going to do, sir?"

At this time, Zhao Tai smiled slightly and led Wang Wentong into a large tent, where a group of men were holding a clan meeting.

There were more than twenty people in the big tent, mainly men. When they saw officials coming in, they couldn't help but get up.

Wang Wentong smiled and said: "Don't panic, everyone. This is Marshal Zhao, the military commander of the Zhongyi Army, here to understand your situation."

When the men in the tent heard that Zhao Tai had arrived, they all saluted quickly. Zhao Tai smiled and waved his hand, "Everyone, sit down and don't be nervous. Which one of you is the leader of the clan?"

An old man bowed and saluted, "Commander, this little old man is the leader of this clan."

Zhao Tai sat down on the horse and asked with a smile: "Where are you from, and what do you call me?"

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, I am a young man named Chen Liuren. His surname is Cao and his given name is Huande." The old man replied.

Zhao Tai nodded slightly, "I sat down and said, what were you talking about just now?"

The old man's face was full of melancholy, "The little old man was just discussing with the tribesmen. Although there is a relief agency here, we have been here for ten days and cannot continue to receive relief, so we will discuss the way out in the future."

Zhao Tai asked: "Then what did you discuss?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, I haven't come up with a solution yet."

Zhao Tai said in a deep voice: "I would like to relocate you to Pizhou, allocate land to you, and help you resume production as soon as possible. But there are more than 100,000 refugees, and I cannot afford it. But don't worry, I will not ignore you.

.You all know that the Song Dynasty was wealthy and treated refugees well.

The policy is also good. If you go to the Song Dynasty, you can be directly incorporated into the army, which is equivalent to getting an iron rice bowl. In addition, the Southern Song Dynasty also has the Infant Bureau, Salesian Village, Futian Yuan, An Laofang, Anji Yuan and other institutions.

It can be said that if you have someone to support you when you are young, and someone to rely on when you are old, you will definitely be able to tide over the difficulties."

Zhao Tai talked eloquently and introduced to them the policies of the Southern Song Dynasty, what was Salesian Village, Futian Courtyard, and Anlaofang. The people in the tent were stunned for a while, and they felt that the Southern Song Dynasty was paradise.

The social welfare of the Song Dynasty was indeed unparalleled in all previous dynasties and superior to that of neighboring countries. It can be said to be a developed country in ancient times.

Of course, although these welfare systems were stipulated in the Song Dynasty, given the current situation in the Southern Song Dynasty, many of the regulations have actually been abolished and may not be implemented.

If the policies could be implemented, there would not have been so many peasant uprisings in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Tai knew this, but he deliberately instigated refugees to go to the Southern Song Dynasty, so not only did he not remind them, he also used slightly exaggerated rhetoric to praise the Southern Song Dynasty, as if as long as the refugees went there, they would be able to live a good life.

After hearing Zhao Tai's words, the old man and the people in the tent couldn't believe that the Song Dynasty was so good.

Listening to Zhao Tai's words, they intuitively felt that they were nothing but cattle and horses in the Jin Kingdom, but in the Southern Song Dynasty, they would immediately have no worries about food and clothing.

For a while, everyone in the tent was talking about it, and the old man couldn't help but said: "Ms. sir, we can't get across the Huaihe River when we go to the Southern Song Dynasty."

Zhao Tai smiled and said: "There are many fishing boats on the north bank of the Huaihe River. If you ask the fishermen for help, they are all poor people. They will help you. If you really can't find a boat, you can build a raft and paddle across the Huaihe River."

Zhao Tai gave some advice to the refugees. After hearing this, everyone immediately expressed their intention to go to the Southern Song Dynasty to try their luck.

At this time, Zhao Tai came out of the tent and Wang Wentong said: "My lord, Qiu Yue will probably blame you for letting the refugees go to Huainan!"

Zhao Tai was quite confident: "With so many refugees going south, it's normal that I can't completely stop them. Moreover, Qiu Yue doesn't want more refugees to cross the river and enter Huainan, so he has to rely on me. He will not fall out with me."

"

Wang Wentong knew that Zhao Tai was resourceful and sometimes even he couldn't see through some plans, so he could only cooperate with Zhao Tai. "That humble position allowed people to exaggerate the welfare policies of the Southern Song Dynasty in the camp and let the refugees go to the Southern Song Dynasty."

Zhao Tai nodded, "Well, don't let Zhou Bin know about this. It's best if the people go to the Southern Song Dynasty voluntarily, and we can secretly help them cross the river."

Wang Wentong nodded, "I understand."

Although for the people of the Song Dynasty, being recruited into the army was a desperate choice, and no good family members were willing to become soldiers, for the refugees of the Jin Kingdom, being recruited into the army was a good choice.

Under Zhao Tai's propaganda, the refugees gathered in Lingbi County were tempted and began to flee south. Tens of thousands of people left the camp and arrived on the north bank of the Huaihe River.

Sizhou is across the river from Xuyi and is the main crossing point for refugees heading to the Southern Song Dynasty.

At this time, a large number of refugees arrived in Sizhou, which immediately attracted one person's attention.

Wang Bin came outside the city and gave some food to the refugees. Yang Chengye, a student on the side, said: "Sir, didn't you say that Mr. Zhao had defected to the Southern Song Dynasty and would he block the refugees for the Southern Song Dynasty? Why did so many refugees arrive in Sizhou?"

Wang Bin also had some doubts in his heart, "Although accepting refugees from the Central Plains was an opportunity for the Southern Song Dynasty to win over the hearts of the Central Plains, I concluded that the Southern Song Dynasty was not willing to accept refugees. For the Southern Song Dynasty, they would not accept refugees crossing the river.

, will chill the hearts of the Central Plains, and public opinion will be unfavorable to the Southern Song Dynasty. Therefore, their best plan is to let Zhao Tai stop the refugees. It seems that Zhao Tai is not very loyal to the Southern Song Dynasty, and he does not want to be such a villain!"

Wang Bin stroked his beard and suddenly became interested in Zhao Tai, "This boy has great ambitions! Chengye, please pay attention to these refugees outside the city and the recent actions of the Zhongyi Army!"

"Yes, sir!" Yang Chengye bowed and saluted.

When the refugees arrived in Sizhou, they began to look for a way to cross the river. Zhao Tai had already arranged a boat here and sent the refugees to the south bank at night without charging any fees.

A few days later, in Xuyi on the south bank of the Huaihe River, many refugees from the Jin Kingdom appeared one after another outside Chuzhou City. They gathered under the city, and someone immediately informed the Southern Song Dynasty officials.

Thousands of refugees gathered outside the city, and it was impossible for the officials and gentry in Chuzhou City to miss it. They felt uneasy about the gathering of refugees, fearing that this group of northerners would threaten their safety.

After all, they are refugees now. If they do not receive relief, it is not impossible for them to develop into riots.

After some wealthy people in the city learned that refugees fleeing from the Kingdom of Jin were gathering outside the city, they immediately urged the government to resolve the matter and resettle or expel the refugees as soon as possible to prevent them from continuing to gather.

The Lianghuai system established envoys' yamen, and Qiu Yue quickly received the report. He came to the city of Chuzhou and saw thousands of refugees gathered outside the city. He couldn't help but said angrily: "This Zhao Tai, didn't I order him to block the refugees?"

? Why are there so many refugees coming here?"

"Mr. Zhizhi, how do we deal with these refugees gathering outside the city?" An official said worriedly: "If more and more of them gather, I'm afraid there will be problems!"
