Chapter 74 Two Thousand Refugees
There was a tangy smell of rice under the setting sun, and more than a hundred people were cooking steaming corn porridge beside dozens of large pots.

"Daniu, hurry up and bring me some wood"

"I'm coming……"

"Jiabao, Jiabao, where are you carrying?"

"Come right away, come right away"

"Second Uncle, I heard that those people are coming soon, have you finished your work?"

"What's the rush? I'm an old bone, don't I even know the severity of these things?"

"I talk too much, I talk too much, please forgive me"

Jia Nian had no time to listen to these discussions, his eyes were fixed on the front, and his calm heart began to beat as time went by.

At this moment, Guo Dapang hurriedly ran from the embankment, shouting at the top of his voice: "People are coming, people are coming..."

There was a sudden commotion in the village, hundreds of old and weak women and children all looked at Jia Nian.

Jia Nian gritted her teeth in her heart, and walked towards the river embankment.Tang Gaoming, Tang Yanqing and others also hurriedly followed.

All the villagers looked at each other and thought carefully whether there was anything missing.After confirming that it was correct, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Ye did not follow, but stood beside a cauldron, waiting quietly.

……

Walking to the embankment, Jia Nian looked around and gradually felt relieved when he saw a fleet of boats appearing on the surface of Chaohu Lake. With such a large number of more than 2000 refugees, it is naturally more convenient to transport them by boat.

Fatty Guo pouted at Jia Nian, and the two walked towards the river.

The twenty small boats in the village had been hidden by Liu Ye in advance, so they looked a little open.

When the front boat docked, Zhao Ergou walked quickly without thinking, with a smile on his face.

Then came the sound of dense footsteps, and a group of elite water thieves with knives came out from dozens of ships.

The murderous spirit spread on the river bank, and Zhao Ergou said: "I originally planned to deliver it in the afternoon, but there were too many people, so I had to wait until now. If you bring trouble to your village, please Mayor Jia please forgive me."

"You're welcome," Jia Nian replied bluntly, looking at the ships and seeing the desperate eyes of the refugees on them, he frowned.

Zhao Ergou showed a puzzled look: "Mr. Jia has encountered something troublesome?"

"These people look desperate, they must be hungry," Jia Nian said deliberately when he heard the reply.

Zhao Ergou was stunned: "Hungry?"

"Mr Jia is right, they didn't eat at noon," Zhao Ergou replied.

Guo Dapang cleared his throat: "Our village has already prepared corn porridge, how about letting them eat porridge now?"

"Okay," Zhao Ergou replied simply.

He shouted at the water thief beside him: "Go, bring all those people to Changhe Village"

"Yes" the water thief standing next to him shouted his orders.

Then the water thief took a hundred companions and led groups of refugees to the river embankment.

Looking at the flood of refugees, Jia Nian asked unconsciously, "Have the elite in Guizhai not eaten yet?"

"Well, I plan to let them return to the village to eat after sending the refugees away," Zhao Ergou replied without thinking.

Fatty Guo instantly understood Jia Nian's meaning, and smiled at Zhao Ergou: "I don't know how the food in Guizhai is?"

"It's not bad to have a bowl of porridge in this troubled world, but how about food?" Zhao Ergou replied casually without doubting him.

Jia Nian took the opportunity to say: "If the elite of Guizhai don't dislike the bad corn porridge in our village, how about having a simple meal here?"

"This?" Zhao Ergou fell into hesitation.

At this moment, the smell of rice wafted over, and I couldn't help but move my index finger.The water thieves standing in two rows couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

Zhao Ergou sniffed it vigorously, showing an intoxicated expression: "This is the best Liang rice."

"It's rare that Village Chief Jia has good intentions. Wouldn't it be too unkind for us to postpone it?" Zhao Ergou found a step and looked around at the water thieves: "Go to Changhe Village with those refugees in batches to have porridge."

"Disturbing the people is strictly prohibited," Zhao Ergou ordered with a dignified face.

All the water thieves were overjoyed and shouted in unison: "Yes!"

"Since you have eaten other people's porridge, you must help Changhe Village to maintain order, and you must not ruin the reputation of our Baifan Water Village," Zhao Ergou urged.

The water thieves saluted again, and walked towards the embankment with their legs apart.

Seeing the water thieves maintaining order, Jia Nian and Guo Dapang smiled at the same time.

"Please." Jia Nian pointed to the embankment.

Zhao Ergou nodded in satisfaction, and took the lead to walk up the embankment.

Tang Yanqing, Tang Gaoming and others stood on Heti, and when they saw Zhao Ergou and Jia Nian coming, they bowed quickly.

Sun Deqiu and Gu Enze brought over the hot gruel, and handed it to Jia Nian, Guo Dapang and Zhao Ergou respectively.

Noisy sounds sounded, and the village looked busy under the setting sun.

"Don't rush, don't rush, line up one by one and take your time"

"Everyone has gruel, you can rest assured"

"If you receive gruel, please go to the left area to eat"

"Where's the hot water? Hurry up and bring the hot water here"

"Everyone who has finished eating gruel, come with me, and I will allocate tents to you"

"Original neighbors and relatives, please stand together, so that we can distribute things for you"

Although the sound is heterogeneous, it is still clear.Although the crowd is crowded, there is order.

Standing on the embankment, Zhao Ergou wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, took the empty bowl in his hand, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion: "I can't imagine that the small Changhe Village can do this. I am amazed."

"It's overrated." Although Jia Nian is modest, he has a sense of pride in his heart.

Zhao Ergou smiled and didn't say much on this topic: "Mr. Jia is too modest, which is not good."

"Now I have a general understanding of the strength of your village. In the future cooperation, please take care of our business," Zhao Ergou said with a little humility.

Jia Nian nodded: "That's natural."

"Now there are more than [-] people in your village, and you will need to pay a considerable amount of taxes in the coming year. Our personal relationship is personal, which is unambiguous," Zhao Ergou reminded with a smile.

Hearing the word tax, Jia Nian's eyes suddenly narrowed, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Don't Guizhai believe in the financial resources of this village?"

"Don't dare, I'm just reminding you kindly," Zhao Ergou said pointedly.

Fatty Guo joked half-seriously and half-jokingly: "Do we need to hand over next year's taxes to Guizhai now?"

"No need," Zhao Ergou replied cleanly.

Then he looked up at the sunset in the sky: "The city wall is very strong, very strong..."

Jia Nian didn't answer, but just sank his heart.Is this a threat or a beating?Such a clumsy method is really ridiculous.

　The data in this book is too bleak, sad... T_T...
