Chapter 92
In Xuzhou City, the residence of Pu Chaguan Nu.
Pu Chaguan's slave was a little tipsy and lay down on the rocking chair to take a nap, while the maid gently beat her legs beside her.
At this time, a man came to the yard, looked around for a while, and then walked over quickly. He saw Pu Inspector Pu's eyes closed, so he could only stand aside and wait.
After a long time, Pu Inspector's slave woke up from his dream and found his subordinates standing waiting. He casually took the tea soup from the maid and asked: "What's the matter?"
The subordinate hurriedly stepped forward and whispered in his ear.
Pu Chaoguannu frowned, his face getting darker and darker, "Damn it, Wuxian dares to borrow food from Zhao Tai and go against me, I can't spare him!"
Pu Chaguannu was very unhappy because the Jin Dynasty sent him an adjutant.
Therefore, he wanted to give Zhao Tai some color, and at the same time let the soldiers and people of Xuzhou know that only his words were orders in Xuzhou.
The new Zhao Tai couldn't even get a grain of food without his nod.
In this way, when the garrison in Xuzhou saw that Zhao Tai's words were useless, they would not be controlled by Zhao Tai.
Now that Wuxian is borrowing grain from Zhao Tai, it will give people the feeling that Zhao Tai has the ability to obtain grain, and the military leaders in Xuzhou will have one more choice.
…
After Zhao Tai communicated with Zhou Rongchang, he slept in a temporary camp set up outside the city that night.
At dawn the next day, Cheng Hu and others got up early, packed their bags, and prepared to go to Suining County.
Suining is located in the south of the Yellow River, on the bank of Suishui River, which means "peaceful Suishui".
It is bounded by Xuzhou in the northwest, Xiapi in the north, Suqian in the northeast, and Sizhou in the south. Its terrain is mainly plain.
Its geographical location is not as important as Xuzhou, but it is close to Chuzhou, which makes it more convenient for Zhao Tai to obtain supplies from the Southern Song Dynasty.
At this time, Zhao Tai woke up, wiped his face, got out of the porridge shed, and was about to set off, when he bumped into Chengde.
"What are you doing in a hurry?" Zhao Tai scolded him with a frown.
Chengde didn't bother to explain and said urgently: "Ms. sir, go and have a look!"
Zhao Tai walked out of the porridge shed with a puzzled look on his face, and was stunned by the sight in front of him.
Nearly ten thousand hungry people stood outside the porridge shed. They surrounded the porridge shed and looked pitifully at Zhao Tai who came out.
"Ms. sir, when they heard that we were going to Suining, they all gathered around us!" Chengde said.
Zhao Tai understood that the hungry people had just eaten a meal of porridge and were worried that they would be hungry again after he left, so he walked to a high place and said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, don't worry, I have left relief grains for the prefect of Xuzhou. After I leave,
, Zhou Zhizhou will continue to give out porridge, you don’t have to worry about going hungry!"
The hungry people listened to Zhao Tai's words, but still stood still.
Seeing this, Zhao Tai ordered Chengde: "Let's go!"
At that moment, Cheng Hu brought the horses, and Zhao Tai got on his horse and led the convoy south.
As soon as they left, the gathered hungry people followed them, including young and old.
"Ms. sir! The people are following us!" Chengde exclaimed in surprise.
Zhao Tai looked back and saw a large number of people following the team. As soon as the team stopped, they stopped far away. As soon as the team left, they supported each other and followed.
"Ms. sir, it's all up to us!" Cheng Hu spoke openly.
The Jin Kingdom's rule over the Han people in the north was actually quite brutal. During the Jin Kingdom's rule, uprisings in the north never stopped.
It was not easy for these ordinary people to meet such a good official as Zhao Tai, so they naturally caught him and pinched him hard.
Zhao Tai glared at Chenghu and looked at the hungry people, which made him feel a bit like Uncle Liu Huang leading the people across the river.
This is a sign that his reputation is recognized by the people. His reputation of loving the people like a son will soon spread. This is a good thing and is conducive to Zhao Tai's development in Xuzhou.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tai couldn't help but sigh, and ordered his subordinates, "Tell the people that we are willing to follow Ke to Suining!"
Upon hearing the order, Chengde and others had no choice but to rush back and announce loudly, "My husband is going to Suining. If you are willing to follow, please take your family and luggage with you."
After hearing this, many hungry people were overjoyed and shouted in unison, "We are willing to follow your husband!"
After getting permission, a group of people cheered, helped the old and the young, and men and women ran forward.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Tai couldn't help but feel that the burden and responsibility on his body had become heavier.
"Help the young and old into the car and keep going!" Zhao Tai waved his hand, then pulled the reins of the horse and walked to the front of the team.
Zhou Rongchang, who came here early in the morning, saw this scene and found that 60 to 70% of the hungry people in the western suburbs of Xuzhou left with Zhao Tai. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Ms. Zhao has the legacy of Uncle Liu Huang!"
Zhao Tai allowed the hungry people to follow, making the already slow-moving team even slower.
"Mr. Sir! At this rate, we won't be able to reach Suining in five or six days!" Chengde said.
Zhao Tai looked back at the long queue and decided immediately, "Let's do this! You escort the vehicle and lead the hungry people away slowly. I will go to Suining first to prepare the resettlement arrangements in advance!"
With so many hungry people passing by, preparations must be made in advance so that there will be no trouble later.
Chengde clasped his fists and said: "I accept my order from my humble position!"
Zhao Tai then greeted: "Chenghu, please bring a few people and follow me!"
After finishing speaking, Zhao Tai tucked his horse's belly, left the group, and ran towards Suining.
Suining and Xuzhou were adjacent to each other, between Xuzhou and Chuzhou. Zhao Tai entered Suining City at noon the next day.
As soon as he entered the city, Zhao Tai felt that it was "chaotic" in one word. There were soldiers everywhere in the city.
Zhao Tai did not rush to the county government, but grabbed a soldier and asked where Xu Erzhu, Sun Li and Liu Dun were.
"Three thousand households, having a drink at a wine shop!" The soldier did not know Zhao Tai's identity, but seeing that he was riding a tall horse with an armored officer following behind him, he did not dare to neglect and answered truthfully.
Zhao Tai asked the soldier to point out the direction, and then walked all the way to the outside of the wine shop, when a drunken soldier came out.
Zhao Tai then asked: "Xu Erzhu, is Sun Li in there?"
The soldier was so drunk that he was shaking, and he did not forget to scold: "How dare you call Lord Qianhu by his name!"
Zhao Tai had a dark face and pushed him away. The soldier was unable to stand and fell to the ground.
Zhao Tai then strode in and saw drunken officers and soldiers everywhere inside the wine shop.
"Sun Li, Xu Erzhu, Liu Dun, you guys, get out of here!" Zhao Tai was furious.
The window upstairs opened, and a big man poked his head out, "Who dares to shout at your family and harass your family's drinking..."
As soon as he finished cursing, he saw Zhao Tai standing in the yard, and then there was the sound of footsteps, and several disheveled officers hurried down.
"Oh! The young master is back!" Sun Li and others said happily.
Zhao Taidao: "Which turtle scolded me just now?"
Xu Erzhu scratched his head in embarrassment, "I didn't know it was the Young Master, please forgive me."
Zhao Tai had a dark face, and everyone welcomed him into the private room. Xu Erzhu and others drank a lot, and did not pay attention to Zhao Tai's face, and he was still gibbering.
"Sir, did you see that I, Old Xu, have been promoted to a thousand households?" Xu Erzhu patted his chest and asked Zhao Tai to see his armor.
Several other people also showed off, "Young master, I am also a Qianhu now."
While they were talking, several people sat down on the table, and no one asked Zhao Tai to take a seat first.
Naturally, Zhao Tai would not tolerate them. He immediately kicked Xu Erzhu, who was sitting on the throne, to the ground, and shouted loudly: "I am now the deputy envoy of Xuanfu. You are ten thousand households, so you must return to me."
