Chapter 210: Migration Wave II


Qiao Zhiqing looked at a few young people and pondered for a while, Henan is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it has been a province with a large population since ancient times.In the agricultural-oriented world, it is completely dependent on the sky for food, and there is no ability to resist risks.If there is a flood or drought, the whole family will flee the famine.It was noon, and it was time for dinner.The Ministry of Civil Affairs set up a porridge shed here, and as soon as the gong was struck, the displaced people surrounded it with rice bowls.The young men didn't care about queuing, so they took out their rice bowls from their luggage and stepped forward.There was a half-grown girl in the crowd, who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old.He had two big braids, some of them were dressed in tattered linen clothes, and his face was round like a doll.The little girl squeezed into the crowd with chopsticks in her hand.But where could her thin body squeeze in, and after half a day to no avail, the little girl covered her little face and wiped her tears in a hurry.Qiao Zhiqing's heart moved, so he took out the Taigu cake in his pocket and handed it to the little girl."

Here, eat."

Qiao Zhiqing whispered a word of instruction to her."

I don't want it, my mother said you can't just take other people's things."

The little girl hung her head shyly and shook her head in refusal."

Here, take it, there are a lot of such things."

Qiao Zhiqing said it well, but the little girl still shook her head and refused.Qiao Zhiqing was amused by this stubborn little girl for a while, and asked with a wry smile, "What's your name, where is your mother?"

"My name is Hao Wanying, my mother is sick and fell asleep in the tent, I want to get him something to eat." ”The little girl stared wide, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and looked at Qiao Zhiqing pitifully."

Then you give the bowl to your uncle, and your uncle will help you cook."

Qiao Zhiqing touched her little head and discussed it with her."

Thank you, uncle."

The little girl thought for a moment, then handed the bowl to Qiao Zhiqing's hand."

It's really good, don't worry, you'll be able to get dinner soon."

Qiao Zhiqing smiled at her, called Huang Feihong over, and made him squeeze into the crowd.Huang Feihong was comfortable in the crowd, shuttling left and right, and came back with a bowl of porridge after a short while."

Why is it so thin, how can you eat it full" Qiao Zhiqing looked at the porridge in the bowl and frowned dissatisfied.There are two or three grains of rice under the bowl, and where there is a shadow of rice, it is clearly a bowl of clear water."

Childe, that's all that's left, many people can't even eat this."

Huang Feihong glanced in the direction of the porridge shed, and sure enough, the crowd gathered there had dispersed in disappointment."

This Zheng Guanying, go back and settle accounts with him."

Qiao Zhiqing scolded indignantly, looked back at the little girl and asked, "Where is your mother, uncle and you go to see her." ”"Well, over there."

The little girl nodded happily and took the dishes and chopsticks from Qiao Zhiqing's hand.Just took a sip, then carefully watched the road, and led Qiao Zhiqing to the tent where she lived."

Mother, I'm back, I'm going to feed you."

The little girl took Qiao Zhiqing around and around, and finally came to her tent.Before she could go in, she yelled at her mother.There was no echo in the tent, and after the little girl lifted the curtain, Qiao Zhiqing also walked in.There was a foul smell in the tent, Qiao Zhiqing said badly, and hurriedly hugged the woman lying flat on the bed out.The little girl saw that her mother closed her eyes and didn't speak, so she took her hand anxiously and shouted, "Mother, you wake up, I'm Yingying, I'm cooking for you." ”"When did your mother fall asleep" Qiao Zhiqing couldn't bear to stretch out his hand and put it in front of the woman's nose, and he couldn't feel the slightest breath."

My mother fell asleep yesterday, and she said that when she woke up, she would be able to take me to the city to live in a big house.Uncle, is my mother sick, why doesn't she speak?

”The little girl took her mother's hand and kept shouting, but the woman was already a corpse, and her shouts could still be heard."

Feihong, you go to the government office and call Zheng Guanying to me."

Qiao Zhiqing didn't know how to tell the little girl, so he turned around and yelled at Huang Feihong with a little sorrow.Huang Feihong nodded hurriedly, turned around and retreated."

Yingying, do you have any other relatives, where is your father" Qiao Zhiqing pulled the little girl to his side, took out a silk silk and wiped her tears."

My mother said that my father had gone to heaven and would come to pick us up when he earned money.Uncle, did my mother go there too, and she didn't want me either" The little girl sobbed a few times, and she already knew in her heart that her mother would never wake up again."

Yes, your mother has also gone to heaven.It's beautiful there, and when your father and mother settle down, they'll definitely come back to pick you up. ”Qiao Zhiqing panicked and deceived her a few times, the little girl nodded thoughtfully, squatted beside her mother in a daze, and didn't say a word.At this time, a lot of people had come back from several tents around one after another, and everyone noticed the scene here, and they all came forward with helpless faces."

Hey, pitiful, I was sick yesterday and only had one breath left, and I didn't think I could carry it."

An old man sighed sadly, and everyone around him hung their heads."

Brother, do you know this woman, does she have any relatives" Qiao Zhiqing looked at the old man and asked, wondering how to place this little girl."

No, we all fled all the way from Wuchang Mansion, and everything in our house was robbed by the rebels.Her man was killed by the rebels, leaving the orphan and widow.This protector who has been subjected to thousands of knives is even more cruel than the Hunan army, and he robs everything he sees, and he simply doesn't give the people a way to live. ”The old man scolded indignantly and shook his head helplessly."

Protection" Qiao Zhiqing frowned, and reacted immediately.Sure enough, it was Rong Lu's sin, and this kid harmed wherever he went, and it didn't change at all.Wuchang Mansion is not Hankou, it was first looted by the Hunan army, and then went to Ronglu's protection.After only half an hour's effort, Huang Feihong drove over with Zheng Guanying.The little girl was tired from her mother's side, so she lay on the ground and fell asleep.Qiao Zhiqing was worried that she would catch a cold, so he asked Huang Feihong to carry her into the carriage."

The subordinates see the marshal, the marshal is in such a hurry to summon his subordinates, what's the urgency" After Zheng Guanying saw Qiao Zhiqing, he hurriedly hugged his fists and made a big salute.He was dressed in a gray Chinese costume and his hair was shaved flat.Since Qiao Zhiqing wore Chinese clothes to swagger across the street on his wedding day, Chinese clothes have become the standard clothing sought after by all young people who pursue freedom.Almost all government officials are dressed like this, and the young officials even follow Qiao Zhiqing to keep their flat heads.There were more and more onlookers around, and they knew that it was an official from Nanjing who was dressed like this, and he saluted Qiao Zhiqing, so Qiao Zhiqing must be a bigger official."

You still have the face to ask me what I have called you, and look at the woman in front of you.In broad daylight, he starved to death outside Nanjing, how did you become a minister, look at the porridge in this bowl, I should call it thin water. ”Qiao Zhiqing was furious and took the rice bowl, raised his hand and slammed the bowl on the ground, making Zheng Guanying tremble."

The handsome man is angry, and his subordinates are helpless about this matter.Now that all the jobs in the city are full, you said that we would recruit one million immigrants to Nanjing, and we have already recruited enough.These people are redundant, and people come here from all over the world every day.It's okay to be young and strong, and you can find a job in the city right away.Old, young, women and children, our Ministry of Civil Affairs no longer has so much funds, so we will come to help them again. ”Zheng Guanying trembled and hurriedly explained, his face frightened into a cold sweat."

There are no jobs in the city, what about outside the city, aren't there so many villages outside the city that are empty, why don't you discuss with Chen Guoping and resettle these displaced people in batches in the villages" Qiao Zhiqing frowned unhappily and eased his emotions slightly."

Dashuai doesn't know that our various departments have just come to Nanjing.Minister Chen is still busy measuring the land in each village with his people.Now that it is winter, even if these people are placed in the countryside, they have no farming tools and no seeds, they will still not survive this winter, and they will still gather here and wait for rescue.This will increase the difficulty of the rescue, and we can only wait for the spring to make plans. ”Zheng Guanying nodded again and again, and explained the difficulty to Qiao Zhiqing.Qiao Zhiqing looked around at the yellow-skinned homeless people around him, and spat out a little sadly.He gave the old man and the young man in front of him five taels of silver, and asked them to find a place to bury the little girl's mother.Then let Huang Feihong drive the carriage, take Zheng Guanying and the little girl back to the presidential palace, and hold the little girl on the couch to rest."

Guanying, go and call Hong Renji and the ministers here for a short meeting."

After placing the little girl, Qiao Zhiqing went out of the study and gave Zheng Guanying an order."

Okay, I'll go."

Zheng Guanying nodded again and again, and left the hospital as he spoke.The outer hall is the size of a classroom, with a rectangular conference table in the middle, made of fine mahogany, capable of seating more than forty people at a time.After Qiao Zhiqing sat down in the main seat, he thought for a while in a complicated mood.The ministers entered the house under the leadership of Hong Renji, and all bowed down and hugged their fists to make a big salute to Qiao Zhiqing."

Sit down, I think Guan Ying told you just now, what did I ask you for" Qiao Zhiqing waved his hand with a cold face, motioning for everyone to sit down and speak.Everyone sat down in order of identity, and they all hung their heads a little nervously, not knowing how to reply."

Dashuai, it's a subordinate's mistake, if you want to punish your subordinates, you can punish your subordinates, regardless of everyone's affairs."

Hong Renji took the initiative to take responsibility, stood up and relieved everyone with a sincere face."

Dashuai, it has nothing to do with Premier Hong, it's all my work that hasn't been done well, if you want to punish me, punish me."

Zheng Guanying also stood up embarrassed, his face full of shame."

Okay, you two sit down, I didn't ask you to come here today to punish anyone.If punishment solves the problem, I'll be the first to beat you boy. ”Qiao Zhiqing jokingly teased Zheng Guanying, and his complexion finally returned to gentleness, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief
