Chapter 12 What I saw in the exile camp

After more than ten days and nights of march, the migration team finally arrived, and the first destination was Liaoxi County.

In the sixth year of King Wucheng, on the 10th day of the 12th lunar month, at the junction of the western Liaoning and Youbeiping, next to the official road of Ling'an County.

Ding Wan, the governor of Liaoxi County, and the subordinates of Ling'an, Qian'an, Lulong, Leting and Yangle, the county magistrates of the county government all came here to welcome the arrival of the current owner of Liaoxi County, the Liaocheng Jun Jikang.

"Dear lords. You have an order. Don't go to the city for the time being. You don't have to wait here. Please help me and place the relocation team and the private camp, and then go to the military camp to meet you."

Seeing a Yan State Primary School, Ji Kang's order came from a fast horse.

Ding Wanhe County Magistrates and many other officials did not dare to neglect them and bowed in unison:

"promise."

When the migration team and the refugee camp passed by Ding Wan and others, everyone was completely stunned. Is this a refugee? Why is it so clean? How can it be neatly dressed?...Are you getting it wrong?

Especially when the relocation team and the private camp were set up, the officials were even more frightened.

When the officials entered several refugee camps, they saw the relocation team and the people in the refugee camps, men erecting tents, carrying water, and women erecting stoves and cooking, and their eyes were all glaring when they were clearly divided and well organized.

This is a refugee. If you exclude the clothes you wear and female refugee, this is the army!

Ding Wan even saw someone digging a trench at the corner behind the camp. After digging, he fenced it with wooden boards. Ding Wan couldn't help it, so he asked a refugee who was digging a trench:

"What is the use of the ditches that are dug?"

"Sir, this is a toilet. We came with Junhou all the way. According to the regulations, whenever we set up camp, we must dig ditches and build toilets, and then bury them after leaving. You see, this is for the female camp. When we enter the toilet, we must go to our male camp."

"oh oh."

Looking at the ordered tents, Ding Wan suddenly heard a sound of gongs coming from the stove.

I saw people in the camp carrying pottery basins to the front of the camp and several large urns, and began to wash their hands and faces.

Ding Wan and several officials next to him looked at each other again. What are you doing? Sorry, ask! Are we so short-sighted? We are officials!

An official couldn't help but ask a refugee who had finished washing.

"What do you mean?"

The refugee also wondered:

"Sir, isn't this going to eat? According to the regulations, you must wash your hands before eating, and you won't let them eat without washing your hands! This is how we have been going along the way."

"oh oh."

Looking at everyone in the private camp, men, women, young and old, they lined up in formation and went forward to collect food in order. When they heard several women cooking, they shouted:

"Junhou has an order to come to Liaodi to celebrate. Today I made another dumpling that everyone had eaten last time."

There was a sudden thunderous joy in the camp.

Ding Wan and all the officials looked at each other. Dumplings? Haven’t heard of them before!

Seeing the refugees queuing up, they all went forward to receive a bowl of bulging things they had never seen before.

An official who had eaten noodles next to him shouted in surprise: "I understand, this thing is made of pasta improved by Junhou."

Looking at the refugees, holding the dumplings in the bowl with chopsticks, they looked so satisfying.

Ding Wan swallowed the saliva in his mouth so hard that it was so delicious and wanted to eat it. What should I do?

I am the leader of a county! Why haven’t I even eaten the refugees? Looking at the officials next to me, they were swallowing each other. One of them couldn’t help it, and the saliva was flowing out.

Ding Wan shook her long sleeves and stopped looking at them. It’s so shameful!

At this moment, I saw a soldier running over and shouting, "Your Majesty has an order to order you to go to the military camp to meet you."

Ding Wan and all the officials took a breath. Let's go quickly, it's too embarrassing.

When many officials from Liaoxi County entered the clean and neat military camp, they were no longer surprised by the baptism of the refugee camp.

When I came to the central army tent at Ji Kang's camp, I saw that Jun Hou Shiyong, Wang Shi and several deputy generals were waiting in the tent, and the mats and tables had been set up under the tent.

In addition to the meeting with each other, the elders and young people sat at the table according to the size of the official position, waiting for the arrival of the Liaocheng Jun Jikang.

In the back tent where Ji Kang lived, Ju Xin said to Ji Kang with some concern:

"Young Master, isn't it a bit too early to announce such a decision now?"

Ji Kang pondered for a moment, shook his head and said:

"My elder, although we seek stability, we are not waiting for time! From the information we have, we can see that the two counties in western Liaoning and Liaodong have not been established for a long time, and there are not many powerful nobles in the two counties like the "Three Capitals".

Then Ji Kang smiled again and said:

"Maybe they still think that this place may be a "barbarian" place, so few people participate! What we do here should not be hindered by the nobles of the court. But even if it is hindered, we must eliminate it; if we reach in, we must cut it off."

"The new type of forces here are the officials of the two counties, most of whom are the children of the nobles in the court.

They were excluded in their families and were long dissatisfied with the practices of these ancient nobles. They had a strong desire to change their destiny, which we can unite and fight for, and they can be transformed."

"As far as the officials are concerned, although Ding Wan, the governor of Liaoxi County, is a little greedy, he can still understand the people's conditions and handle affairs more publicly. The officials and people of Liaoxi County also recognize him. In this era, he is considered a good official! There is no fish when the water is clear. As long as he can change it in the future, I can tolerate it."

"As for the Liaodong County Magistrate Bo Wang, he was originally a deputy general under the general Qin Kai. He loved soldiers like his sons, but his ability to manage local areas was limited. As far as I know, most of the money obtained in Liaodong County was subsidized for the army. After all, Liaodong County faced great military pressure!"

Speaking of this, when I saw Ju Xin and the boss, they nodded slightly to recognize their opinions, slapped their hands and said firmly:

"The opera, Ji Bo, now the two counties in western Liaoning and Liaodong are like white silk without any dye, and they are painted as we paint. As for how we draw it, it depends on our own ability. Reform is imperative."

"I am going to stay in western Liaoning for a few days. One is to take a break and settle down the relocation team and resettle more than 20,000 refugees; the other is to unify everyone's ideas and lay a solid ideological foundation for our future work."

What...the ideological foundation? Ju Xin and Ji Mao looked at each other, but Ju Xin was together all the way, and like Ji Mao, he became immune.

"Okay, let's go to meet Ding Wan and the others in front."

When Ji Kang was accompanied by Ju Xin and the boss Ji Mao, he walked to the tent.

Seeing Ji Kang come out, the officials of Liaoxi County stood up together, fell to the ground, shouted in unison:

"Worship to the Lord."

Ji Kang sat in the main seat, looked at everyone, and said:

"All sirs, get up."

"Sir, Mr. Xie."

Seeing everyone who had already sat down, Ji Kang smiled and said:

"Let's talk about business later. Now the most important thing is to solve the stomach problem. I don't know if all the adults are hungry, I'm hungry. Today I'll treat you to dumplings, and today I'm made of pickled cabbage and meat."

A swallowing sound suddenly sounded in the camp, and Ji Kang couldn't help but smile. He clapped his hands and said:

"Wash your hands and prepare dumplings for everyone."

With the experience of being in the refugee camp just now, Ding Wan and the officials of Liaoxi County showed extremely high adaptability. In the pottery basin brought by the attendant, they washed their hands, and some even learned from refugee and washed their faces.

The meal is very simple, and each official has a plate of dumplings in front of him. Unlike the refugees, each official has a small bowl of vinegar in front of his dumplings.

Ji Kang took the lead in using chopsticks, picked up a dumpling, dipped it in the vinegar in the bowl, and said:

"Don't be polite, after eating, you still have enough food, so let's start eating."

At first, everyone was quite reserved, but after eating a dumpling, they saw Shi Yong and Wang Shi and the others were already eating voraciously, and they could no longer control themselves and started chewing together.

Ding Wan even ate so much that she almost shed tears. It was so delicious, what should I do? I can't stop, what should I do?

After eating about ten dumplings, Ji Kang felt full, so he had to pat his belly with regret and look at everyone and say:

"You eat first, I'll come here later."

Seeing everyone standing up and preparing to salute, he waved his hands, turned around and walked out, and headed to his mother's tent next to him.

When I came to my mother's tent, I heard my mother say in the tent:

"I thought your son made the tofu well enough, but now I didn't expect this dumpling to taste better."

Only Qingmei's voice heard:

"Yes, Empress, following the young master is happiness."

Qingzhu also said:

"Yes, Empress, there are delicious food every day. Look at Empress, Wangcai has gained weight like Qingmei during this period."

The mother laughed and said happily:

"All of them are greedy ghosts, so you can follow the young master all your life."

Ji Kang was stunned for a moment and looked down. He didn't walk in again, and did not stop. He walked into the tent where he was resting behind him.

When he walked into the tent, he saw Shi Gan eating dumplings while looking through a bamboo slip on the table. Seeing Ji Kang coming in, he stopped and prepared to salute. Ji Kang waved his hand and said:

"What do you see?"

"Young Master, it's the "Sun Tzu's Art of War" you recommended to me to read."

"Oh, okay. Good study, if you don't understand, ask me."

"Okay, I will work hard."

"Eat a good meal first, and follow me to the front tent after eating."

"promise."
