Pinglu County, Lu County, is the closest county to Juyeze among the six disaster relief counties. It is only more than 20 miles away from Juyeze. It is also the most important passage for victims to go to Qingzhou. Pinglu County has become the largest gathering point for victims in Qingzhou.

The wilderness on both sides of the official road north of Pinglu County is covered with endless tents, stretching for twenty miles, with a total of 20,000 large tents living in more than 300,000 victims, but this is just a temporary destination for the victims. After screening here, they then scattered to various counties within Qingzhou.

After Zhang Xuan led his army back to Qingzhou, all 80,000 troops were successively invested in the heavy disaster relief ranks.

Zhang Xuan was escorted by dozens of cavalrymen, walking through a large tent. Men gathered together to discuss their future life, women were busy washing clothes, and groups of children played hide-and-seek among the tents. The entire tent area was full of pungent smell of quicklime and dust was flying everywhere.

The official who accompanied Zhang Xuan to inspect the tent area was Jiao Wenmu, the governor of Lu County. Jiao Wenmu was about fifty years old and was very smart and capable. He also rode a horse and introduced to Zhang Xuan while walking: "Now, the victims basically live together according to their families. The older family has more than 100 people, and the younger family also has twenty or thirty people. Each family elects an elder to be responsible for the order. Five families are guarded and one official and ten soldiers are assigned."

“How is the food situation?”

This is the most concerned issue of Zhang Xuan. The food consumption every day is amazing. They can hold on for one or two months. If it takes longer, they may not be able to hold on.

"According to the regulations of the Grand Marshal, one rice per day under the age of six, two rice per day at the age of six to sixteen, and three rice per day at the age of six and over sixteen. It is impossible to eat enough. It can only be said that it can barely survive, but salt is enough. Gaomi County Salt Field sent 50,000 stones of salt yesterday."

"Is the tent enough?" Zhang Xuan asked again.

This time they attacked Lu Mingyue and Li Yangcang and seized more than 100,000 tents, which were the only excess relief supplies he had.

"There are enough tents at present, and I'm afraid that more victims will come here, so I can't stand it."

"Then we need to speed up the evacuation. I told Wei Changshi yesterday in Xuchang County that the victims should not stay in six disaster relief counties for more than five days, and they must be evacuated to each county as soon as possible. The progress is not ideal now. Many victims stayed at the disaster relief site for seven days, and there were still more than ten days that had not been evacuated. If this continues, a plague will break out. It is spring now, so be careful of the epidemic of diseases."

"Please rest assured, we will speed up the evacuation progress!"

At this time, Zhang Xuan turned over and got out of the horse and got into a big tent. It seemed that a family meeting was being held in the big tent. This was a medium-sized family, with about forty people, young and old gathered in a tent.

The people inside the tent suddenly saw soldiers coming in, which scared them to walk out of the tent from the other side. Jiao Wenmu hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid, this is our Qingzhou Marshal Zhang, come and see what everyone is doing."

When everyone heard that it was Zhang Xuan who arrived, they were so scared that they knelt down one after another. Zhang Xuan smiled and waved his hand, "Don't be nervous, who is the clan member!"

An old man walked up and bowed, "Young man is just that!"

"Where are you from?" Zhang Xuan asked with a smile.

"We are from Yucheng County, Liang County, and the young man's surname is Cao."

At this time, more than a dozen old men came to hear the news. They were all elders or patriarchs of various nearby families, and they knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Xuan.

"Please sit down everyone! I'll talk to you a few casually."

More than a dozen old men sat down one after another, and Zhang Xuan sat down opposite them, and he signaled Jiao Wenmu to sit next to him.

"Ship Zhang, we have been here for six days. We want to know what will happen to us next?" several old men asked anxiously.

"This question made Jiao County Magistrate answer everyone, he is the County Magistrate and knows the details better than me."

Jiao Wenmu smiled and said, "Please don't worry. Since it is a disaster relief, it will definitely be a disaster relief to the end. Hundreds of thousands of people will soon arrive here, so everyone will be evacuated to various counties in Qingzhou, and the same is true for our Lu County. Local residents have begun to use the slack farming time to build temporary residences for everyone. It may be a little rough, but they will never sleep in the open fields. Then the governments of each county will rent the land to everyone in a way that is not renting taxes."

Everyone was so excited that they started talking, "It's too late to plant crops now, but Diosperm can still be planted. If there is water and roots to plant, it can be harvested once before planting this summer, and beans can be planted, and pumpkins can be planted. The key is to have water."

Jiao Wenmu and others were almost talking, then waved their hands and everyone calmed down. At this time, Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "We don't have much food, so the government can only provide the least relief. Just like now, we must not be full and can only survive. However, there is food in the market, and everyone can make money to buy grain. For example, they can farm for the army, participate in the construction of water conservancy, mine ore in mines, and women can spin and weave cloth. As long as there is labor, Qingzhou has the opportunity to make money. With money, you can buy grain, or even fish and meat."

Seeing that everyone was attracted by his words, Zhang Xuan smiled at a group of women crowded at the door of the tent and said, "With money, women can also buy some makeup, jewelry, and buy new shoes and clothes for their children. The key is to work. With labor, there will be income."

At this time, a strong man couldn't help asking, "How much can you earn in mining a day?"

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "Mining is a cool job, but it earns the most. If you are willing to work hard, you can earn ten jin of money in a month. It is also a good copper coins from Daye five years ago. It is not the bad money now. The price of grain in Qingzhou is eighty coins. Now it is a little expensive. It is a hundred jin of rice. Everyone thinks that if you are a miner in a month, you can buy ten jin of rice. A cow is only ten jin of money, and you can't even make that much money in farming."

Zhang Xuan's words made many people tempted. Being a miner can earn so much money. Even a small landlord in their hometown can earn less than ten cents of money a month, and they are all good money.

"Sir Zhang, I heard that Qingzhou still has land to be distributed and the taxes are very low. Is it true?" an old man couldn't help asking.

This is also a matter of concern to everyone. There was a silence in the tent, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan said slowly: "Qingzhou has not yet begun to collect taxes. If it is to be collected, it will be slightly lower than the tax stipulated by the court. As for land distribution, it does exist, but the premise is to settle in Qingzhou. If the land is left, the land will be taken away by the government. Therefore, it is called "Tou Dividing Land", and only if there is a person's land."

"What exactly is it?" several old men next to him asked again.

Zhang Xuan smiled, "Ding's grain field is twenty acres and Ding's mulberry field is ten acres, so a couple is about thirty acres of land. If they join the army, they will give them another twenty acres of Yongye land. If they make meritorious service, they will reward the military land. The military land is Yongye land, which is exempted for at least ten years. Even if they don't live in Qingzhou government, they cannot be taken away. They can be passed on to their descendants. Why is our Qingzhou army very powerful in war? It is because of the incentives for land.

I tell you that Qingzhou rewards military merits. After three years of military service, he can earn at least three hectares of Yongye land. There is a soldier who is also from Songcheng County, Liang County. He has only been in the army for a year and has been brave in fighting and has made great contributions. Now there are 200 acres of land on the ground. Moreover, his land is exempt from duty and labor for life. If he is unfortunately killed, there will be fifty acres of Yongye pension land. His son will also be exempt from duty and labor for life."

Everyone exclaimed that the treatment of joining the army was so generous that many people were moved by it.

At this time, a soldier quickly walked to Zhang Xuan and whispered a few times. Zhang Xuan stood up and said to everyone: "I have something to do. Let Junzhu Jiao continue to answer everyone's questions."

Everyone sent Zhang Xuan away from the tent. Zhang Xuan turned over the horse and urged the horse to go south with his personal soldiers. He faintly heard a woman in the tent asking loudly: "Master Jiao, if my husband wants to join the army, how can I sign up?"

Zhang Xuan came to the southernmost part of the refugee camp, where there were hundreds of large tents, which were the management center of the entire refugee camp. Officials were busy registering the information of the victims, name, age, hometown, how many people were in their homes, what kind of business are they doing, what are they good at craftsmanship, etc.

Thousands of victims were queuing up to register, and after more than a dozen queues, they could receive an iron card, arrange the account and distribute the grain according to the iron card.

Zhang Xuan rushed to the registration office all the way, looking around, suddenly he heard someone shouting behind him: "General Zhang, I'm here!"
