Liu He is one of them.
As a native of Baoding Prefecture, North Zhili, this winter is really unbearable.
There was no choice but to flee south.
It would be best if you could escape.
If you couldn't escape, there was nothing you could do.
This was all fate.
Fortunately, after a long journey, Liu He finally followed the refugee team to Shandong.
Originally, they thought that under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, the people in Shandong, where the clothes and hair accessories were very different from theirs, would instinctively reject them.
In fact they thought wrong.
After they cut off their braids, neither the government nor ordinary people looked at them with hostility.
What is even more commendable is that the government also stepped forward to set up porridge sheds to provide relief to the victims.
Even cotton-padded clothes were distributed to the victims.
At that moment Liu He couldn't help but burst into tears.
Ming Dynasty is better.
The Tatars treated them like pigs and dogs, and he never wanted to return to Beizhili again. unless Unless the imperial court leads its troops to fight back As the number of refugees outside the city gradually increases, allowing them to gather outside the city creates many unsettling factors.
The government eventually came forward to carve out a special land for the refugees outside the city and build something similar to a small town.
The brick houses in this town look very neat.
What moved the refugees most was that the government even sent people to deliver firewood and charcoal to each household.
Building a fire to keep warm like this is no problem at all.
There is love for lovers in the cold winter, and they feel that there is hope for life again.
After Liu He finished his porridge, he returned to the town.
Although this town has just been established, it is full of fireworks.
Many people were originally from the same hometown, so they naturally gathered together and talked about the past.
Liu He's current neighbors are also from Baoding Prefecture, and there are four or five in the same village.
His best friend is A Niu.
The two have had a very deep relationship since childhood.
They now share a room.
Liu He opened the door and saw that no one was there and said that A Niu must have gone late today and was not in line to receive the porridge.
Liu He closed the door, quickly walked to the makeshift bed made of wooden boards and lay down.
Liu He hasn't had time to think about the future, but one thing is certain, that is, the days will get better and better.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't have land.
If Liu He can endure hardships, he can start as a tenant farmer.
In addition to paying rent to the landlord, I can always save some money.
If you save and save, you will be able to afford land one day.
As long as there is hope.
The scariest thing is that there is no hope.
Liu He felt this way under the Tatar rule.
Now that I have finally escaped, I must live like a human being.
Just as Liu He closed his eyes and prepared to take a nap, he heard a rush of footsteps.
Needless to say, A Niu must be back.
He then rolled over and got up from the bed, walking forward to open the door.
"Why did you come back so late today?
You used to get to the porridge shed earlier than me."
Liu He asked casually.
"Ah, it's okay.

Anyway, I can have porridge in the morning and at night."
A Niu's eyes were erratic and his hands were always behind his back.
"Why do you look so weird?
Nothing happened to you."
"Look what you said, what can happen?"
A Niu forced out a smile.
"Well that's good.
By the way, what is that in your hand?"
A Niu had no choice but to take the package and untie the knots and said, "These are some sweet potatoes and potatoes I got.
Come and take a look."
Liu He was shocked when he heard this: "Where did you get it?
It couldn't have been stolen?"
A Niu rolled his eyes and said: "Look at what you said, don't you know me yet?
When did I steal and rob?"
"That's good."
Liu He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We cannot leave a bad impression when we are new here."
After arriving in Qingzhou Mansion, Liu He didn't want to go back no matter what.
The people here are warm and hospitable and have no objection to refugees like them.
He just wants to stay and live a good life.
"You haven't seen raw potatoes, sweet potatoes.
Come and see, they look like this."
A Niu moved closer to Liu He and said with a smile.
When he said this, Liu He also felt a little curious and stared at it for a long time.
"This thing doesn't look surprising, but it's so delicious."
Liu He has eaten both mashed potato rice and sweet potato porridge.
He had to say that these two things tasted very good and were very filling.
Eat some and never feel hungry again.
It's not like eating rice noodles, where you'll feel hungry soon after eating.
"Okay, this is my baby, I have to keep it."
After A Niu finished speaking, he snatched the potatoes and sweet potatoes away from Liu He.
Now Liu He quit: "What are you doing?
This is not a rare thing.
Besides, I just took a look at it, so why are you so stingy?"
A Niu curled his lips and said, "I'm still waiting for spring to plant it.
We don't have any land yet, so we plant it outside the house."
Liu He was stunned for a moment and said, "What, you want to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes?"
A Niu nodded and said: "Yes, if we don't plant, we will have to line up every day to get food.
Anyway, I feel quite uncomfortable."
Liu He thought about it carefully.
It was not a problem for them to always be freeloaders with their hands and feet.
"Then we can't plant much."
"That's not necessarily true.
I heard that the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes is very high.
Maybe we can grow some and eat them."
Ah Niu seemed to be very confident in potatoes and sweet potatoes.

He patted his chest and said, "I'll make mashed potatoes and you make sweet potato porridge.
How about that?"
"Okay" Liu He was also aroused by A Niu.
He rubbed his palms repeatedly and said, "I can't wait to hear what you said."
"Don't tell anyone about this.
I'm afraid someone will come and dig up our sweet potatoes and potatoes."
A Niu lowered his voice and said: "Don't let us brothers work so hard to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes and get cheap."
Liu He nodded quickly: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about it."
"Well, I'll put away the potatoes and sweet potatoes first, and then we'll go get water together."
Regarding the settlement of refugees in a town outside the capital city of Qingzhou, the prefect and fellow prefects had great differences.
It stands to reason that if the chief officer and the second assistant officer have different opinions, the chief officer should prevail.
But what Tongzhi said is not unreasonable.
"Master, these refugees are all from Northern Zhili, so we must be on guard.
What should we do if there is a spy planted by the Tatars among them?"
Zhang Yan, a fellow aide, dissuaded him and said, "Please ask the governor to send someone to monitor these refugees, just in case."
The prefect Wu Liandeng frowned and said nothing.
Zhang Tongzhi has said the same words countless times in the past few days, and his ears have become calloused.
It was Wu Liandeng's idea to set up a town outside the city, but now he wants to send people to conduct surveillance.
Isn't this a slap in the face?
In Wu Liandeng's view, Zhang Tongzhi's approach was absolutely unacceptable
