MTL - After Emptying the Enemy’s Warehouse, He Carried Supplies To Survive the Disaster Years-Chapter 158 Draft and Refugees

 In the early spring of the first year of Antai, the debate in the court about the expansion of the harem for the royal family finally came to a conclusion.

 All the marriageable women from the families of officials of seventh rank and above were sent to the palace for a draft, and gentry and gentry from all over the country were specially allowed to participate in the draft.

As soon as this decree was promulgated, the government and the public were shocked. All major families responded one after another, saying that the emperor's favor was so great that they all sent their daughters of suitable age to the palace to participate in the draft.

 If there are families that do not have girls of suitable age, they will select outstanding girls from the side branches and send them to the palace.

 Suddenly, the official road was full of incense carts, and the following carts were loaded with dowries.

 The procession of people traveling in costumes is in great contrast to the procession of refugees traveling far away from official roads.

Countless young women rushed to the palace with beautiful dreams of the new emperor who had just ascended the throne.

"This... this... why are we still fighting?" Ling Hongcai stammered, pointing at the people who were fighting in a ball.

“Mom, what should I do?”

A group of refugees came to their second hometown full of hope for survival, but reality gave them a hard slap in the face.

 Pulling hair, scratching face, tearing clothes, riding on top and slapping someone.

Ms. Liu took a look at the crowded room. Many people were still vying for a seat. She stopped walking knowingly.

The imperial court was only responsible for dividing the people among the people, without even distributing a single seed or a single farm tool.

 The two privately divided Xin'an County into two areas, with separate jurisdictions without interfering with each other.

 The county magistrates from all over the world were sitting in the lobby of the county government office, and at a glance, it became a shelter for refugees.

 …

 …

Ling Hong only agreed with red eyes. He suffered all the hardships along the way alone, but luckily he met Aunt Liu's family.

 “My dear, it’s better to live than to die, let’s stay with Auntie’s family!

Those who had the strength even fought together and vented all the resentment in their chests.

After Mrs. Liu reacted, she took a child with one hand and used all her strength to **** the baby away from this group of lunatics.

"Since ancient times, no official has been a good person, and they don't regard us as human beings at all." "So what if we don't treat us as human beings? We can't go against this!"

A large number of people who fled from the north have filled up all parts of the south, and even previously remote and uninhabited places have been classified as refugees.

 The two towns were not affected by this disaster because they were relatively close to the capital city. They only lost half of their adult males.

They are all old, weak, sick and young, because the adult men in the family have been sent to the army in exchange for food in order to keep the family alive.

Ling Hongcai followed closely in Liu's footsteps. Most of the refugees were crowded into one place, and there was no room to stand.

 Dujiang Prefecture, located in the far northwest, is sparsely populated and sparsely populated. It is also the prefecture with the largest number of refugees in the entire Baiyun Kingdom.

 The government issued a notice to allocate refugees to various places to open up wasteland, and implemented strict household registration management.

 For them, they had neither money nor food, and the more than 5,000 refugees who came were a huge burden.

His mother died and his sister sold herself to buy him a chance to live.

This move left homeless refugees with no choice but to move with their families.

The two of them waved their hands at the same time and directed all the refugees to the original Xin'an County to fend for themselves.

Some people are happy, some are sad, and the same drama is happening all over Baiyun Kingdom.

Ling Hongcai, who was being pulled away, realized that he was running in the wrong direction and hurriedly spoke out.

 Look at those people, their eyes turned red after just a moment. They must have been possessed by something.

　　A group of refugees who had just been yelling at each other were now fighting over a place to stay out of the wind.

The refugees who were deported to Xin'an County cried and cursed endlessly when they saw only a few temporary houses.

“Aunt Liu, we ran in the wrong direction, we are all out of the city.”

 At first, a few people were fighting, but later it became a group fight involving a whole room of people.

 …

 Hashland reclamation is the most urgent matter for the refugees who have just been allocated land.

　　I can’t even fill my stomach, but I still have the strength to fight. I’m really poor and crazy.

If he died too, how could he be worthy of the life that his mother and sister paid for with their lives?

“Huh…huh…yes, this place is filled with yin energy, and many people must have died. We cannot stay here any longer.

 …

"Hurry...quick...go quickly. We will be here soon. None of us are opponents."

"God won't let us live, and officials won't let us live either. They are trying to force us to death!"

 As for taxes, how many people will be alive to collect them after two years?

 The young man muttered helplessly to himself, his bamboo pole-like figure swaying in the cold wind of early spring.

The three Lius, who had not yet found a place to stay, heard the big commotion here and ran over to take a look. They were so frightened that they backed away.

 Let us take care of each other. There are mountains and rivers here, and we can always find a way to survive. "

Just like him and his sister who sold herself, they will never have the chance to meet again in this life.

　　The woman accompanying the young man was dragging a group of scrawny, skinny children, all dressed in rags, whose gender and age could not be distinguished.

 In order to protect the interests of the townspeople, the two town mayors were naturally unwilling to settle refugees in their respective towns.

 Refugees assigned to wasteland do not have to pay taxes for two years.

Given the three of them’s thin bodies, they will be thrown out soon, so it’s better to leave as soon as possible.

 “Auntie…I…I am willing!”

 The beginning of spring is the busiest season for farming. The northern refugees who learned that the war had stopped were already homeless.

 The remote and impoverished Xin'an County suffered a massive loss of population and the household registrations were destroyed by the fire, so the number of refugees allocated to it accounted for 70% of the entire Dujiang Prefecture.

Civilians are not allowed to leave their place of residence without permission from the government. Violators will be implicated in their neighbors and will be sent to the border of Beihu City.

 A group of people assigned to Xin'an County are equivalent to being exiled. They do not even need to send county magistrates, and are directly responsible for the village chiefs assigned to each village.

 …

If his mother and sister were so fierce, wouldn't they have to die and sell themselves?

In the entire Xin'an County, the largest officials are Ruan Guangyu, the mayor of Yetong Town, and Shen Zhengqi, the mayor of Baohu Town.

It's a pity that Uncle Liu went to the army for a bucket of thick noodles. If he could have persisted for a few more days, the family would not have been separated for life.

 As long as they don't open a way for these people, this group of people will not be able to leave Xin'an County.

 We went to a nearby village to settle down. As long as we didn't leave Xin'an County, no one would care about our life or death.

In order to collect taxes and food, the imperial court divided the common people into prisons and imprisoned them on the land.

The two town mayors had long since escaped from Xin'an County. They learned the truth from their mouths and resolutely sent them to the original county seat.

 The refugees who were assigned to the poor area of ​​Xin'an County were all impoverished and had no money to exploit.

No one is in charge of it. They are just a small town mayor. How can they control so many mouths?

“Hongcai, let’s find another place to stay. There are too many people here and it’s inconvenient!”

 Hua'er, follow up quickly! "

The three of them were as thin as the wind, each carrying a shabby baggage behind them. No one could catch up with them when they ran.

Several refugees who were looking for wild vegetables in the field looked back and forth strangely when they saw the three of them running.
