The whole family escaped from famine and accidentally occupied land

Members of the Bai family gathered at the Bai's house one after another, and there were about thirty or forty people gathered in the main hall.

People talk too much.

When Bai Zhao brought Bai Jingzhi over, the room was in a mess and full of buzzing noise.

When the father and daughter entered the room, dozens of pairs of eyes were focused on them.

"People from the clan are discussing matters here, why is a little girl joining in the fun?

Minghui, she is ignorant, why are you fooling around with her?"

The person who spoke looked between the father and daughter with his small eyes, and everyone could hear the provocation in his words.

"Uncle, it's good for girls to come here and broaden their horizons. My daughter has heard all the meetings of the governor, so this little scene of ours won't scare her!"

Bai Zhao saw through this man's evil intentions at a glance.

At the beginning, this third cousin and his father both had a talent for studying, but this man trembled with nervousness when he arrived at the examination venue, so the clan stopped giving him financial support.

My third uncle was very upset about this matter.

After Bai Zhao's father passed away, his third cousin often boasted outside that he had become a scholar when he was selected.

In addition to being jealous of the clan's support for Bai Zhao's father, the third uncle was even more envious of the Bai family's property.

After Bai Zhao's father became a student, he was able to earn the money for the imperial examinations on his own.

He published a special book for the imperial examination.

Don't underestimate the students, many of them cannot pass the exam.

This is also the secret of Bai Zhao’s father’s success.

After the Bai family became wealthy, they did not forget to support their clansmen. The money that their clansmen had spent on him was repaid many times over.

The third uncle was angry but didn't dare to express it openly.

After Bai Zhao's father passed away, the Bai family fell into decline. His third uncle wanted to show off in front of them, and Bai Zhao won the first place in the examination for the title of Tongsheng again.

The third uncle's arrogance was finally suppressed.

After Bai Zhao passed the imperial examination and married the daughter of the governor, his third uncle became completely disdainful and did not dare to provoke the Bai family.

Now that the news of Wei Shou's death in battle has reached the Bai family, the third cousin is looking for trouble again.

"Third brother, can't you just calm down? It's already this late and you're still so competitive!"

The clan leader glared at the man, then forced a smile, "Minghui, sit down and talk!"

Bai Zhao sat down, motioned for his daughter to stand behind the chair, and then asked:

"My second brother told you everything, right?"

"Well, we have to leave?" The Bai tribe leader sighed, "Relocating the entire tribe is no small matter!"

“This is not migration, we are fleeing.

If I don't leave, how can I survive?

When the two kings attack Ling, they will certainly recruit soldiers. By then, nine out of ten houses will be empty, so who can escape? "

Bai Zhao has the memories of his original body, and the history of this place also records the changes of dynasties and chaos in the world.

"Grand Master, do you know the geographical location of Lingzhou? Do you know what happened in the territories of the three kings Ming, Li, and Yan? Do you know that only four kings are left after the reduction of the feudal system?"

After Bai Zhao asked a series of questions, the room fell silent. No one spoke anymore, leaving only the sound of people breathing.

The clan leader just shook his head, his face pale, and then blurted out:

"What does the royal family's affairs have to do with us?"

"This is no longer a matter for the royal family, it is a matter for the entire world.

If chaos really breaks out, there will be no way for us to survive here."

Bai Zhao sighed, "The refugees are already heading towards Lingzhou. We don't have much time left."

Jingkanzi Village is not far from the county town, but unfortunately the transportation is blocked. The nearby villages are self-sufficient and rarely set foot in big towns.

They didn't know enough about the situation outside and had no idea what was going on.

Even if there are small vendors coming here, they only bring useless information.

"Refugees? How could there be refugees?" the clan leader exclaimed, and other clan members in the house also started asking questions.

For a while, this place became a vegetable market.

"Why are there refugees again? If Prince Ming and Prince Li join forces to besiege Lingzhou City, the imperial court will not sit idly by and there will be no chaos, right?"

At this point, the clan leader was also a little uncertain.

"Second brother, please tell me in detail!" Bai Zhao didn't want to say anything else. He knew exactly what was going on.

Bai Lao Er dusted himself off, stood up, saluted the clan leader, looked around and said:

“I just escaped from Lingzhou City!

On that day, the two kings first used refugees as the vanguard, and the governor of Wei had compassion and did not kill them, which led to the trap set by the two kings Ming and Li. "

"Where did the refugees come from?"

A tribesman asked loudly.

"Two years ago, there were floods in eight regions of the south, and the harvest was completely lost. The emperor held the princes of the eight regions accountable.

Since then, natural disasters have continued to occur in the eight southern regions. Someone suggested reducing the power of the feudal lords to avoid these disasters.

Last year there was drought in the eight regions, and the harvest was only half of that in a good year, so many civilians had no food to eat.

By this year, the situation had not improved and the harvest was still poor. Some people left their hometown in order to survive.

Most of them went to the territories of the three kings Yan, Ming and Li. Few people went to the territories of King Xian, the Lingzhou area and the area under the jurisdiction of the capital.

The three kings' food could not feed so many idle people, so they set their sights on Lingzhou City.

In those years, the weather in Lingzhou was good and the granaries were full.”

Bai Zhao was the one who answered the question of this tribe member.

However, he only answered the obvious questions and did not reveal the deeper ones.

The patriarch sat at the top, with his head lowered, gently rubbing the hem of his clothes with his right hand, and remained silent.

The room was filled with mixed chattering sounds.

Bai Jingzhi watched all this coldly, as if thinking about something.

These people are not united and would be a burden to have along.

The patriarch could only suppress a part of them, and the other part was obviously led by the person who had just caused trouble.

"Brother, we know what happened too. The brothers all spoke for themselves about what happened.

How can we just give away the property we have accumulated over our lifetime?

Instead of wasting time, you might as well clean the yard as you will be harvesting corn in a couple of days.

"Brother, let's get busy first!"

With half the people gone, the main room suddenly became much more spacious and brighter.

"Chief, do we really want to abandon our homes and careers and go to a strange place?

Maybe that place is not as good as our Jingkanzi Village!"

The tribesmen on the patriarch's side were also somewhat hesitant.

"Is family property more important or life? Minghui and his brothers would never lie to us. If those princes really let the refugees flee, will we be safe?"

It would be more accurate to say that the patriarch trusts the governor of Wei more than the two brothers.

The Wei family is a large and powerful family, and even these country folk have heard of it.

"Minghui, when are we leaving? Where are we going?"

The patriarch made up his mind and asked about the departure time.

"We will leave the day after tomorrow in the evening, from Taiming Mountain." Bai Zhao was only surprised for a moment, and then reminded them, "We will go northeast. Bedding and clothes for warmth must be prepared, and don't wear anything too clean."

"Okay," the tribe leader agreed immediately, and repeatedly reminded the tribesmen, "Take what you need to take. Saving your life is the most important thing now. Also, we have to harvest all the food in the fields today."

After they left, Bai Langzhi came back with someone.
