Chapter 247: Refugees (Part 2)

At night, ten large ships were traveling at a constant speed on the sea.

Each large ship has thousands of refugees, which seems very crowded, but this is helpless. However, the coast has passed and the itinerary to Jinling, and it may take another week to arrive in Jiaozhou.

On the deck of a boat, facing the sea breeze, a man was pondering.

This man was wearing the official uniform of the general flag, and his every move began to have the unique awe-inspiring intention of the public. He was the general flag of the Thirteenth Division who escorted this group of refugees, and was Zhang He, one of the confidants of Zhao Taiping, a thousand households.

When he was in Youzhou, Zhao Qianhu told Zhang He in detail the importance of this matter. As the Thirteenth Si General Banner who climbed up step by step from ordinary characters, how could Zhang He be a stupid person?

It is obvious from the point that it is very important to look at this matter.

Zhao Qianhu chose to let Zhang He escort refugees back to the Southern Dynasty, not to let other general flags go, because Zhang He was very clear about the reason.

Fundamentally speaking, even within the Thirteen Divisions, there are factional disputes. Although factional disputes have not surfaced in the current situation where the world is not unified, there are signs.

The matter is serious when escorting refugees to the Southern Dynasty. When it comes to credit, there must be some rewards. How could Zhao Qianhu give the credit to others at will?

Moreover, except for himself and Liu Baihu, Zhao Qianhu did not trust others in Youzhou.

But what Zhao Taiping didn't expect was that Zhang He's mind had changed a little at this time.

Zhang He remembered his experience over the past few years and what he did in the Thirteenth Division, Zhang He only felt that it was different from his original intention.

Compared to this kind of work lurking in the dark, Zhang He yearns to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy to achieve military achievements.

This is not only the difference between the light and the dark side, but also the future and the oil and water.

The Thirteenth Division has only five ranks in the yamen, thousands of households are only seven ranks, and hundreds of households are only nine ranks. It is not easy to climb up. After years of hardship, they have only been in the general flag. If they were in the army or local area, the ninth rank might have existed long ago.

Moreover, once you reach the ninth rank, the difference will be even greater. In the army and local areas, the path to rise is very wide, and in the Thirteenth Division, it will be difficult step by step.

Although the Thirteenth Division is a privileged yamen, as time goes by, Zhang He feels more and more that he cannot tolerate any relaxation when doing things in the Thirteenth Division.

Even if you live with your colleagues on weekdays, you should be careful not to be treated as a ladder to advance. This kind of thing makes Zhang He very disgusted, but he can't do anything about it.

After returning, through relatives and friends, you can enter the army or place through your own operations. It is like a dragon entering the sea and having its own world!

Looking at the vast water surface in front of him, Zhang He couldn't help but feel excited.

This time he was able to return to the Southern Dynasty, which was a rare opportunity, so he must take this opportunity to pave a way out for himself.

"It's a pity that it would be better if I had joined the army a few years ago..." Thinking of the few people I met in the past, now they have a place in the army, and some have been granted the title of the generals of the guards. This is the real merit, but the merit of the son and the wife!

Thinking of this, Zhang He began to think about this matter.

In the night, the ships were moving rapidly.

"Sir, how many refugees on the boat have suffered from illness, so what should I do?" At this time, a man came over and reported the matter to Zhang He.

Zhang He is not in charge of becoming the supervisor of this ship.

However, the navy's captain only carries the ship and does not interfere with the management of refugees. Zhang He now has the right to make decisions and will report to him in advance before doing things.

"Are there any refugees sick? Did the doctor on the ship see it?" Zhang He frowned slightly. Is this a big deal or a small deal? It's a big deal. It's a problem if there's really a plague on the ship, but it's going to be troublesome.

"The doctor has seen it. These people are fine at the moment, but after being at sea for a long time, they are in some trouble." The actor said carefully.

"Since that's the case, I'll send orders to arrange these sick people in a separate cabin and let the doctor boil some medicine for them. It's better not to die on the boat. Do you understand?" Zhang He is not a person who wastes his life. He can't do anything to wipe out his life for the sake of credit, so he has to do his best, but he is not a person who doesn't know the overall situation: "But once there are signs of a plague, I will deal with it."

This is naturally executed.

Execution of several people and protecting the entire ship's people is a merit wherever they say.

"The villain understands it, let's do it now." After hearing this, Fanzi hurried in. After a while, there was a noise on the boat, but in a blink of an eye, Fanzi suppressed him.

Two more days passed.

In the past few days, the refugees who had previously had symptoms gradually improved and no plague was found on the ship, which made the captain and Zhang He breathe a sigh of relief.

On this day, Zhang He had just woken up and walked onto the deck. A small flag came to him and reminded him: "Sir, I will arrive at Ankou Port in half a day."

"Have you arrived at the Jinling realm?" Zhang He quickly came to his senses. At this moment, the ten ships had arrived in the Jinling realm.

Jinling is not short of population, but according to the rules, you must stop at Ankou Port for three days, count the population and household registration, and report to the Ministry of Revenue. After obtaining the household registration of the Ministry of Revenue, you can transfer to Zhukou Port in Jiaozhou.

Ankou Port not only has a customs office, but also has heavy troops. When Zhang He arrived here, his mission was basically completed. When he went to Jiaozhou, he would naturally be accompanied by other officials.

"Cleaning up the population and getting ready to get on the boat!" Zhang He said in a deep voice.

Although you have arrived at the territory of Jinling, you cannot take the responsibility you have to take care of. When you get here, be careful, you will never make any big mistakes, and don’t make mistakes at the last moment.

At this time, the navy issued an order, and the fleet's speed immediately slowed down.

After taking a look at the port that was gradually visible in the distance, Zhang He felt a little relieved.

After traveling for so long, I finally arrived at my destination.

As long as you send refugees ashore and make a handover with local officials, you can make a contribution.

The ship continued to move forward, and at this time, a small boat came forward.

The soldiers on the ship were far away and shouted from afar and asked about their identities. However, the ship did not dare to neglect them, so that the loud voices would answer from afar. This was also because the sky was getting darker, or it was a flag slogan.

After a moment, the ship returned to the port.

Then the big ship came closer to check.

After confirming their identities, the fleet slowly approached the port.

As soon as I arrived at the port, I encountered a check again and went completely to the shore. It was already dusk. At this time, the sky was dark and it began to drizzle with the wind.

However, after getting on, he saw the officials of the Ministry of Revenue waiting. Zhang He hurriedly went up to salute.

As soon as the Ministry of Revenue officials met, they asked: "How is the situation?"

Zhang He pointed his hand at the deck, on the ten boats, and his own boat was the first to mobilize, and a large number of refugees who were waiting quietly to get ashore were on it: "Sir, everyone is ready, no one is dead from illness!"

The official of the Ministry of Revenue looked around and was very satisfied. He shouted to the subordinates and said, "Calculate!"

He said to Zhang He again: "Yes, bring the documents."

After the inventory was completed, there were indeed many. This person circled the numbers in the document with satisfaction and wrote the word "You".

This is the handover, and there is another busy schedule below.

According to the will of the King of Chu, all refugees sent to Zhukou Port in Jiaozhou must obtain household registration in the Ministry of Revenue in Jinling, count the population, and issue land deeds.

However, this has nothing to do with Zhang He. If you get this document, you will be fine.

As a general bannerman of the Thirteenth Division, Zhang He knew his responsibilities.

Charging into battle and killing enemy generals is what the army needs to do, and its own responsibilities are to investigate intelligence and do secret things.

Some time ago, some colleagues abused their powers by relying on the privileges of the Thirteenth Division and were severely punished. Zhang He still remembers this matter freshly.

The dark sword in the emperor's hand is not easy to be aware of.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang He suppressed the desire in his heart, jumped onto the dock, and walked inside.

The port is at the estuary of the sea and its production is not abundant. However, at this time, the new city was five miles long and divided into streets and warehouses. It was already full. Although the air was a bit salty and fishy, ​​it was indeed extremely prosperous.

With the opening of customs, sea transportation, a large amount of cotton, grain, weapons, jewelry, and incense materials are being exchanged quickly, especially the opening of Zhukou Port in Jiaozhou. There has not been much ocean trade yet. Jiaozhou's wood, incense materials, pearls, ivory, and especially agarwood can be sold at high prices when it comes to Jinling...

Spices, salt and iron in the previous dynasty were all prohibited, but now, as long as the customs charges two taxes, it is enough, so the streets are densely packed and all are merchants.

Seeing that the coastal county was still an ordinary year ago, but now it is developing and prosperous, Zhang He became more and more impressed by the King of Chu in his heart.

Is it because of the wise decision of the King of Chu that the Southern Dynasty could have such development?

This decision not only makes it famous among the people, but also makes your own population rich. It is indeed a good thing to kill two birds with one stone!

I believe that the King of Chu will be able to unify the world and achieve military achievements, and then return home in glory.

Although the Thirteenth Secret is close to the King, it is just a dark sword that cannot be placed on the open.

With great ambitions, how can you waste your time here all the time?

In the current situation of the Hu people, they will definitely confront the Chu army head-on. As long as they can enter the army and go into battle to kill the enemy, they will be a real man!

However, it is difficult for the Thirteenth Division to enter, but it is even more difficult to get out.

Of course, it’s luck that I am just a general banner. If I become a hundred households, there will be basically no hope of having the Thirteen Divisions. After thinking about the Thirteen Divisions, Yu Kejin, whom I am close to.

There is also Zheng Dacheng, who has become a general of the guard, and Zhang He walked on the street and felt a heart in his heart.

According to the rules, I can repair Jinling for five days. Within these five days, I must go through the road. As long as I can go to the army or the local area, even if the general flag now becomes a fire-bolt, it is enough.

All the money I have earned over the years can be spilled out. If it is not enough, borrow some from familiar friends and can't delay it anymore.
