While eating, Zhao Junsheng decided to go to the refugee camp at the foot of Dingjun Mountain tomorrow to see the truth.

Chapter 969 Chaos in the refugee concentration area

Early in the morning, before the fog cleared in the camp, Zhao Junsheng had already woken up, and practiced martial arts for an hour as usual, and the camp started to be noisy again.

Li Bao came over and apologized, "Your Majesty got up so early, and you don't have much to do, why don't you sleep a little longer? You're not idle this morning when you're away from home?"

Zhao Junsheng wiped his sweat and said, "I'm used to it. I don't feel comfortable if I don't practice for a day! By the way, you gather the soldiers of the Dragon Guards and bring dry food. Let's eat as we walk!"

"So early, so urgent, where are you going?"

Zhao Junsheng said: "Go to the refugee concentration point at the foot of Dingjun Mountain and have a look!"

Li Bao took out the map, looked at it and said to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, it takes one day to go from here to Dingjun Mountain. If we start now, the refugees over there should be at dinner time! But there are [-] refugees there. They are all increasing a lot, isn’t it a little weak to only take the Dragon Guards?”

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "We're not going to fight, so what are we using so many people for? More people means more momentum, which may bring uneasiness to those refugees!"

"But...do you want to inform the officials at all levels in Liangzhou?"

Zhao Junsheng said: "We just want to see the real situation of the refugee resettlement. If you inform them now, we won't be able to see the real situation!"

"Yes, I have made arrangements!"

In less than two quarters, a thousand dragon guards gathered in full armor with dry food. Zhao Junsheng gave an order, and the army set off. Li Bao opened the way ahead, and the team stretched two miles long.

In less than an hour, officials at all levels in Nanzheng City got the news, all of them paled in shock, and hurriedly led their entourage to catch up with them on horseback.

A small school ran over from the rear to report: "Your Majesty, officials at all levels in Liangzhou have caught up!"

Zhao Junsheng turned his head and saw a group of officials and generals riding horses two miles behind and quickly chasing him up.

Zhao Junsheng led the imperial guards on horseback and walked to the side of the road to wait, letting the Dragon Guards pass first.

A large number of officials headed by Lu Shuang, governor of Liangzhou, Qin Chuan, governor of Hanzhong County, and Wen Bozhen, prefect of Hanzhong County, chased them over and stopped in front of Zhao Junsheng.

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand: "Excuse me! Why are you chasing after me when you're not sitting in the city?"

Inspector Qin Chuan quickly said: "Your Majesty, is this going to the refugee settlement in Dingjun Mountain? Now those refugees have not yet settled down completely. Your Majesty has a noble status. I really worry about bringing such a small number of people there! Besides! , No one knows the identity of His Majesty, if there are no ministers and others to accompany him, it will be bad for His Majesty if there are blind officials over there who don't know Mount Tai and collide with him!"

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "We don't want to go to war, we don't need to bring too many soldiers! The refugees are just looking for a way to survive. How can they commit the forbidden and rebellious things if they have no choice? They are still refugees from Bashu in the Southern Dynasty. It can be said that you are unfamiliar with the place of life, and you don’t have the courage! As for what you said, there may be petty officials who don’t know my identity and will do things against me. It’s not impossible. Hey! In that case, Lu Shuang and Wen Bozhen, you two, go back to the city to sit in town, and Qin Chuan will bring other officials to accompany you!"

The Liangzhou officials looked at each other, but there was no way to disobey Zhao Junsheng's intentions, so Lu Shuang and Wen Bozhen brought some officials back to Nanzheng, and Qin Chuan took the rest of the officials with him!

In fact, these officials all know that although accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, the chances of being promoted by the emperor's side are much higher. As long as they can be appreciated by the emperor during this period of time by accompanying the emperor, the chances of being promoted are very high. .

To go to Dingjun Mountain, just walk west along the Han River, but there is an official road leading to Dingjun Mountain from Nanzheng, the road is fairly flat, but the weather is too hot, and the marching speed is inevitably slower, not only responsible for guarding The soldiers of the Dragon Guards were sweating profusely, and the horses were panting and sweating profusely.

It was cooler in the morning, and the temperature rose after Si time. Zhao Junsheng had to order to find a shaded place to rest for a while every hour or so, and to feed the horses some water.

It was already the end of Shenshi when we arrived at the concentration point of the refugees in Dingjun Mountain, just in time for the officials, book offices, and cooks arranged by the government to distribute meals to the refugees.

When we reached the ground, Qin Chuan asked: "Your Majesty, I see that Your Majesty, the accompanying ministers and the officers and soldiers in charge of the escort have also been exhausted for a day. Take a rest first, eat something and drink some water to relieve fatigue!"

Zhao Junsheng shook his head: "Go and see what the refugees eat!"

After speaking, he jumped off the horse, handed the horse to the guards, and took the whip and walked towards the direction where the refugees received their meals.

There are already [-] refugees gathered here, and it is estimated that another batch will be sent today, and there will only be more and more in the future. It is not an easy task to prepare and distribute meals to these refugees every day.

Qin Chuan caught up and explained to Zhao Junsheng as he walked, "There are too many refugees. In order to prevent looting, the ministers separated the place where the meals are distributed from the tents, and let the refugees line up to receive the meals. Fifty food distribution points, each distribution point has three people, two are in charge of food delivery, and one is in charge of ordering vegetables!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded after hearing this: "That's right, this arrangement seems to be in order!"

While speaking, Zhao Junsheng had already walked between a group of refugees receiving meals. He saw that most of the clothes of the refugees were acceptable, but they were all dirty. It seemed that they were only concerned with fleeing, not washing and cleaning.

He said to Qin Chuan: "Now the number of refugees is too large and the temperature is high. If the refugees don't pay attention to hygiene, they will easily get sick and easily infect each other! Look, these victims may not have taken a bath for ten or twenty days. He has changed his clothes, and some people even don’t wash the dishes, that’s not okay!”

The emperor's words are delicious even if they fart, no matter how outrageous they are, they are still right, and what Zhao Junsheng said is really true.

Qin Chuan hurriedly said: "The minister will arrange it later, let the officials gather the refugees, and force them to take a bath and wash their clothes!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "These can be arranged later, but some people don't wash the dishes. This is not a problem of lack of diligence, but laziness, and a quality problem!"

Qin Chuan immediately made arrangements, and he turned to tell the officials and soldiers behind him, "Go and tell the officials and soldiers who maintain the order to check the dishes of the refugees, and don't distribute food to those who don't wash the dishes quickly. Wash the dishes and chopsticks before queuing up!"

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the officials quickly dispersed to convey the order.

After a while, many lazy refugees were pulled out of the queue by the officials and soldiers maintaining order.

An official responsible for maintaining order yelled at a dozen refugees who did not wash the dishes: "I don't even wash the dishes after eating. I am afraid that there is no one in the world who is lazier than you. Why don't you bother to even eat?" Have you eaten? Let me wash the bowls and chopsticks, if you don’t wash them, there will be no food!"

The officials have great authority here, not to mention that these are still refugees from Bashu in the Southern Dynasties. They all knew that they were wrong after being reprimanded.

Zhao Junsheng went to a food distribution stall and looked around. A refugee came up with a pottery bowl and stretched out his hand. The cook who distributed food scooped up a bowl of porridge, some pickles and some boiled vegetables for the refugee.

Zhao Junsheng said: "The porridge is too watery, I don't feel full, and the pickles and boiled vegetables don't have any oil, so I won't be hungry!"

Qin Chuan said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers don't want to feed the refugees better. It's just that there are too many people, and there are still a large number of refugees pouring in. If we don't control it now, it will become more and more unaffordable in the future." ah!"

Zhao Junsheng turned his head and asked, "You don't need a tael of corn for this bowl of gruel. If a person eats two meals a day, let's count it as two taels of corn. A day for 10 people is 1 catties (16 taels a catty) I don’t feel full even after eating corn, so I doubled the amount and replaced it with wheat! There are also vegetables, pickles are fine, boiled vegetables are changed to stir-fried grass, and some oil should be added. Yan, the imperial court has not always supported these refugees, they always have to disperse them, and soon there will be a resettlement plan from Chang'an!"

The emperor said so, what else could Qin Chuan do?I can only agree.

"Yes, yes, if His Majesty said so, I will feel at ease. I will order to double the amount of food in a while, and the increased portion will be changed to pasta, and the boiled vegetables and wild vegetables will be fried with oil and salt."

Zhao Junsheng continued to go down and checked all the food distribution stalls in the entire refugee gathering point. Those refugees who were too lazy to wash the dishes were reprimanded and rectified, and they dared not to wash the dishes again.

There are people of all ages among the refugees. Some adults lead their children, some women carry their babies on their backs. Children and babies also have to eat, and when they distribute meals, they also have a share. Therefore, anyone who can hold a pottery bowl must Take the pottery bowl to get the food by yourself, and the baby who can't carry it is carried by the adult on the back to get the food. If you are sick, you must report to the superior, and you can help the sick to get the food after getting permission.

Taking advantage of the time when the refugees were receiving and eating, Zhao Junsheng and his accompanying ministers, accompanied by local officials from Liangzhou, entered the residential area of ​​the refugees.

This refugee concentration point is too messy, the air is very bad, there is a stench everywhere, and even the smell of defecating everywhere in the air, changing clothes, shoes and socks without washing, throwing them in the tent is smelly sky.

Throughout the camp, wet and muddy roads can be seen everywhere.

Zhao Junsheng frowned and said, "The sun is so hot and the temperature is so high these days, why are there so many humid places in this camp? Look at those stinky ditches and the stench coming out of the camp. place?"

Qin Chuan was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
