When the news came a few days ago, although people were angry at Liu Zeqing's unreasonableness and were full of hatred for the visiting soldiers, they soon saw figures pushing small cars and fleeing at the intersections of the villages.

Generally, it is based on the family unit. Women hold their children and sit on one side of the wheelbarrow, and some food, furniture and other items are placed on the other side.

People knew that the visiting soldiers gathered from Andong to Guannan, so they usually chose to cross the river to Haizhou or Guanyun.

Some people want to escape to a safer place like Yancheng and Yangzhou, but they are afraid of encountering passengers on the way to escape south. In addition, Yancheng and Yangzhou are too far away, so more than 99% of the people ran across the north bank of the Huai River.

The most people ran on the first day, and there were probably more than a hundred small cars and more than a thousand people running towards the north shore.

When the next day, when we started to build trenches and cut down large arrow towers and pickets, fewer people ran, but hundreds of people were still running towards the north shore.

After the third day of the trip, almost no one ran away.

In fact, if people were not afraid of the fierceness and cruelty of the visiting soldiers and knew that the war would be burned together, those visiting soldiers would be worse than those who were better than those who killed people and robbed people, burned, killed, and looted people, and were in the Yuntiguan area, which was a war zone, and dozens of nearby villages were flattened, and Liu Zeqing would not have come out to maintain military law.

In addition to indulging subordinates in peacetime, ordinary generals let the soldiers burn, kill, loot during wartime.

This is one of the ways to maintain the army for the generals and is the most effective way.

That's why there is a saying that thieves are like combs and soldiers are like combs.

These robbers are more patient, more meticulous, and more open and unconcerned than bandits.

Bandits are still afraid of the officers and soldiers' attacks, and those who do the same thing as bandits are themselves officers and soldiers. Who will kill them?

The court cannot control generals, and generals cannot control subordinates, and indulge their subordinates to harm the people. Such a thing is no pressure on Liu Zeqing.

The people are not stupid, bandits are afraid, officers and soldiers are scary, and none of them is good.

Once war breaks out, the villages here will definitely be burned out, and ordinary men will either be killed or forced to be conquered as strong men, and from then on they will become hard labor in the military camp.

The elderly, children and women will not end up well.

If it hadn't been built for a short period of time, it would have given people a strong psychological hint and a sense of security, it would have been a long time since the nearby villages within a dozen miles.

Ding Ruqi was extremely dissatisfied. The Ding family prepared for a few days and put their furniture in two small cars. Before they were about to leave, Li Ruqi also persuaded Guan Lei, Wang Mingyuan and others to leave. In his opinion, a gentleman did not stand under a dangerous wall, so why should he tie him up with an ambitious family like Min Yuanqi? However, Guan Lei was determined not to leave, and Wang Mingyuan was also hesitant.

"It may not be defeated." After hearing Ding Ruqi's words, Wang Mingyuan felt a sense of fury in his heart. This person surnamed Ding was really pedantic and had been unable to change his views on Min Yuanqi and Yundiguan. Guan Lei and Wang Mingyuan were in it, and they saw the changes little by little and could empathize with them.

"It may not be defeated?" Ding Ruqi's boss opened his mouth, raised a finger and shook it, and said with a sneer: "Brother Wang, there are not more than a thousand people coming here, but more than ten thousand people! And they are not like bandits, but serious court officers and soldiers! If you lose, not to mention the loss, the garrison and guerrilla officers and garrisons on Min Yuanqi will definitely be deprived of the position of the garrison. Even if you stay, even if you escape by chance, what should you do if you are abducted in the future? That's not It's a great injustice! Or listen to me, go north to Haizhou to take refuge with me. The coast is remote and the coast is near Haizhou. I know you are afraid of the cruelty of the enemy soldiers. Why am I not? Let's find a good place to study in Haizhou and study in the sea and grind the principles of the classics. In the future, no matter whether the Ming Dynasty is restored or the establishment of a new dynasty, the imperial examinations will be opened. After the war, the imperial examinations are easy to obtain. This path is the right way. Why do you waste your time here and put yourself in danger?"

I have to say that Ding Ruqi's words were sincere, and at least he really considered it for his two friends.

He also thought so. The way for scholars to go to school is always to study, rather than wasting time here.

Wang Mingyuan thought for a while and said to Ding Ruqi: "If it were two months ago, I would have been moved by Brother Ding's words and left directly with Brother Ding. But now it's different, I can't obey my fate."

Ding Ruqi looked so ugly that he looked at Guan Lei and said, "Is Brother Guan the same choice?"

"It's the same as Brother Wang." Guan Lei smiled and said, "Actually, if Brother Wang doesn't say it, I know he won't leave. Brother Ding is not in it, and I don't know how great the potential is here in Yuntiguan. In the future, Lord Min will not only be the generals you think about at most, but also will not be just an ordinary general. In the chaotic times, it is inevitable that the emergence of a strong vassal state will even appear like the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, and even become kings and marquis. Of course, we don't want Lord Min to do this, but his shaking will appear.

It is very likely to be able to get a position of a Duke and Marquis with tens of thousands of strong soldiers. At that time, we may not necessarily have to be fame and honor to become an official. Moreover, in this chaotic world, it is not embarrassing to rely on the strong under the wings of the strong. To be honest, Brother Ding, I am worried for you when you go to Haizhou. Who knows when a place without military equipment like Haizhou is conquered by chaos or bandits. At that time, it will be very dangerous, with no support and nowhere to hide. Why not stay here with us? "

Ding Ruqi would not be moved no matter what, and he sneered at the moment, obviously disagreeing with Guan Lei's statement.

Wang Mingyuan was already very impatient, and immediately made a hand gesture and said, "Brother Ding should do it himself. I will go to see if the roads between the villages were cut off by the long trenches and whether the tyrants of the hundreds of households were mobilized. This is my father's job, and everyone is very busy. Now the salt ponds, workshops, construction sites, kilns, farmlands are busy everywhere, and we really don't have time to delay here. Brother Ding doesn't have to be afraid of not meeting for a long time. After the war, we will build a road to Haizhou. At that time, I may go north to Haizhou. At that time, I will ask Brother Ding to make a drunk together."

Having said that, there was nothing to say. Ding Ruqi sneered and said goodbye and left.

Looking at his back, Wang Mingyuan turned to his father who had been smiling at the scene in front of him, and bowed and said, "Father, don't wait for you to answer, my son already has the answer."

"You are very helpful in this way, and I feel very comforted." Wang Sanyi's face was filled with relief and said in a deep voice: "I haven't spoken out for a moment. I've been waiting for you and Nephew Guan and Nephew Ding to tell me that it's right to ask you to come out for training. Your inexplicable arrogance has disappeared, and you can look down at the sentient beings under your feet. Even if there is still an imperial examination in the future, practical experience is important. I remember hearing from someone that Grand Secretary Sun of the Tianqi Dynasty had gone out for training when he was a scholar, and even went to the border for many years when he was a junior. He only went to the Hanlin Academy to go to the Hanlin Academy. After entering the Hanlin Academy, he did everything more sophisticated and proficient than others. He chose the imperial teacher in a few years, and became the Grand Secretary of the Palace in a few years. It can be seen that as long as he has real skills, it will only be beneficial and not harmful."

Wang Mingyuan listened quietly, and Guan Lei also had an expression of being taught.

If Wang Sanyi had been sophisticated and sophisticated before, he would not be able to enter the young scholars who were full of arrogance and felt that the principles of the world were all in the books.

"Okay, I'm going to arrange security along the way. This time I'm working with Gao Cuncheng, but that guy is not easy to meet. I trained the new army to tan my face and my heart was ruthless, completely ignoring the face of me, an old senior. If the security department had any omissions when mobilizing, this guy would definitely not give me any face."

Wang Mingyuan first agreed, then hesitated, feeling a little reluctant to speak.

"If you have something to say, just say it." Wang Sanyi cursed with a smile: "It's not that I still have business and can't delay it. You didn't see your uncle Li. Now, he is still carrying hundreds of people everywhere to dig canals and control water every day. Fortunately, he mobilized thousands of people a while ago to complete the initial water conservancy period. Now, it's better that the canals and water are constantly being opened everywhere. Otherwise, he would be full of resentment."

Li Guoding is now an alien in Yunti Pass. The entire Yunti Pass is in the process of security and mobilization. Everyone either ran away or prepared for war. Only Li Guoding led a hundred or ten people every day, all of whom were strong men. Because of the two types of agricultural affairs and water conservancy, Li Guoding was arrested every day, and even the fortifications were ignored.

Li Guoding had Min Yuanqi's support, but he didn't care about other people's opposition. Min Yuanqi knew that farming was the foundation, and it was not important now and in the future.

Yuntiguan has enough manpower, enough place and enough farmland. To improve saline-alkali fields, increase the output of at least 200,000 stones per year.

It is equivalent to a discount of about 100,000 taels. During the war, the price of grain is even higher. Sometimes I can’t buy grain with silver. Therefore, food is the fundamental foundation. Not to mention that Li Guoding only brought a hundred people, even if he brought a thousand people, Min Yuanqi would support him.

Everyone understood this principle, so every day everyone could see Li Guoding and his people running around.

The matter is actually simple. It is to open the water storage in some main road channels in several plots, and then block the mouth after the water is full.

Take turns to release water to rinse, and then soak it in water and then let the ox plough the soil and dry it.

The saline-alkali land processed in this way can basically solve the problem of excessive salt content affecting yield. There are many better solutions in later generations, but they must basically be based on modern agricultural products. Although Min Yuanqi is a major in agronomy, there is only such a crude and simple method at present.

Even this is very good. If the effect is good, you will be quite sure to increase the yield of more than one stone per mu. This is why Li Guoding is quite persistent and not afraid of anything.

People who have not lived in the Yellow River Flood and Huaihe River areas, and I don’t know how much these two rivers have harmed the people in this area.

There is no constant property or perseverance, the local people are badly motivated, there are no clans and gentry organizations, and they often leave their families and flee. Over time, people have no confidence in life, have bad tempers, are prone to impulsiveness and laziness. Many bad habits were formed between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Having the opportunity to change, just over 10,000 visiting troops invaded the border is not worth mentioning to Li Guoding.
