It is precisely for this reason that adult men in Qingyangzhou are now particularly scarce.

After the men at home were arrested and joined the army, the lives of these elderly people, children and women from poor families would be even more difficult, and many families could not even have a meal of porridge a day.

Xiao Zhengyang is serving porridge here, and three meals a day can basically make them full.

These people naturally rushed here desperately! Although more than 3,000 refugees have arrived here, hundreds of refugees are still rushing here every day.

As soon as Song Xiangchen and others left Luojiazhuang, they began to get ready to move.

If Song Xiangchen hadn't felt that the time was not yet ripe, these people would have already attacked Xiao Zhengyang before they could wait for the refugee camp.

But when they came to the refugee camp built by Xiao Zhengyang, these men felt their hearts suddenly thrust.

Just now, they were thinking about taking action as soon as possible; capturing Xiao Zhengyang as soon as possible; seizing the guard's weapons as soon as possible and capturing Luojiazhuang.

But when they saw Xiao Zhengyang building such a large refugee camp here; they saw the elderly and children who were not covered in clothes.

These men suddenly remembered their parents, children and women.

For a moment, their hearts drifted to their family members in the distance, and they actually forgot the purpose of coming here today.

Not only these people, but even Song Xiangchen was shocked by the scene in front of him.

There are more than 3,000 refugees in this place in front of me, but there are still ragged men, women, young and old, rushing here in groups of three or three to three.

Seeing the elderly and children surrounding the porridge-dressing shed, the light of hope ignited in their eyes, everyone present had a very heavy heart.

"How come there are so many elderly and children here?"

Someone among the prisoners asked in a low voice.

Xiao Zhengyang helped up a child who fell next to him and glanced at the prisoner who was asking questions.

"I asked, they are all from each village and town in our Qingyang Prefecture.

Among these people, most of the men in their families were arrested by Shi Wenxuan and joined the army, and more than half of them had died on the battlefield.

Leave them, young and old, without anyone taking care of them.

Although some people have some land at home, Shi Wenxuan collects too high taxes, and the food they collect is not enough to pay for the tax.

More families have no land at all, and they can barely survive by farming and working for the landlords.

For more than half a year, I live by eating wild vegetables.

They came to me, and although they had no land to plant, they could get porridge and they would not have to go hungry for the time being."

Song Xiangchen is Shi Wenxuan's adopted son. He felt very upset when he heard Xiao Zhengyang's words.

Although Song Xiangchen also knew that what Xiao Zhengyang said should be basically the facts, Shi Wenxuan was his adoptive father, and Song Xiangchen still hit Shi Wenxuan from the bottom of his heart.

Song Xiangchen muttered in a low voice, "Hmph, false kindness and righteousness!"

Xiao Zhengyang was very sensitive and naturally heard Song Xiangchen's words, but he did not accuse Song Xiangchen.

If he were Song Xiangchen, he might have thought that this was false benevolence and righteousness, and was deliberately made for them to see.

Xiao Zhengyang led Song Xiangchen and the 200 prisoners to a hillside east of the refugee area, pointed to the hillside and said to everyone: "The mud in this place is good, so you can build a large brick and tile factory here."

"In the next few days, your task is to build two simple brick kilns here first, burn a few kiln bricks, and build a larger brick kiln factory."

Everyone was puzzled when they heard that Xiao Zhengyang was going to build a brick and tile factory here.

Song Xiangchen snorted.

"If you donate the porridge, just give it. What does it mean to build a brick factory here?

These people are so poor that they don’t even wear pants. Who can afford to buy the bricks and tiles you burn?”

Xiao Zhengyang glanced at Song Xiangchen.

Xiao Zhengyang knew that Song Xiangchen and the others came out with him today, and must have wanted to find an opportunity to escape.

Now Song Xiangchen can take the initiative to ask him this question, and they have begun to care about these elderly and children who are suffering from hardships.

This is a good change, and it is also the purpose of Xiao Zhengyang bringing them to this refugee camp.

As long as these people start to care about these refugees, they will gradually change from being forced by Xiao Zhengyang to help these refugees do things to being willing to take the initiative to do things for these refugees.

Xiao Zhengyang glanced at Song Xiangchen.

"I have my own sales of bricks and tiles burned from this brick factory, so you don't have to worry about this."

"The reason I built this brick and tile factory here is because there is no technology in these brick and tile factories. Most of these elderly and women can do it.

Once this brick and tile factory is built, it can solve the workmanship problem of hundreds of people.

These people can earn hundreds of cents a month with these things to do.

Only then can their lives get better.”

After Xiao Zhengyang finished speaking, he took out a map and spread it on the ground.

This is a planning map he made for this refugee area.

Xiao Zhengyang always likes to make plans first when doing things.

He felt that only by doing the plan first, the probability of success would be high! Xiao Zhengyang set up the planning map and said to everyone: "Look, I not only want to build a brick factory here, but also a dye workshop, cloth workshop, mill, ironware processing workshop, etc. beside me.

Some of these workshops do not require heavy physical strength and are more suitable for elderly and women.

In addition, I also want to build a school so that all the children here can study and study."

These two hundred prisoners were originally like Song Xiangchen, thinking that Xiao Zhengyang gave these refugees a porridge just to show them.

So that they willingly work hard for him Xiao Zhengyang.

Shi Wenxuan had used this method before.

But when they saw Xiao Zhengyang taking out this planning map and saying that so many workshops would be built, everyone knew that Xiao Zhengyang really wanted to help these refugees, rather than just doing what Shi Wenxuan did at the time! Just as Xiao Zhengyang explained to everyone that his plans and arrangements for these refugees were next, a man in rags quietly made a gesture to Song Xiangchen.

As soon as Song Xiangchen saw this gesture, he knew that this person was a spy who was placed among these refugees by his adoptive father Shi Wenxuan.

This gesture is a way of contact for Shi Wenxuan’s confidants. When you see this gesture, you will know that it is your own person.

When Song Xiangchen saw this man appear, he knew that these people were ready to pick them up.

At the same time, he was also urging him to take action quickly! Song Xiangchen had already planned to issue an order to make these two hundred people prepare to take action.

But seeing the picture taken out by Xiao Zhengyang, Song Xiangchen temporarily pressed the idea again.

Although Song Xiangchen still felt that Xiao Zhengyang was a hypocrite with false benevolence and righteousness, he wanted to deceive them into working hard for him.

But Song Xiangchen still wanted to ask some things before he started, so that he could wear Xiao Zhengyang's hypocritical mask in public.

As long as Xiao Zhengyang's hypocritical mask is exposed, his brothers will be more united in dealing with Xiao Zhengyang with him!
