As the name suggests, Lingshan County is a county seat at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, with a population of 2,000 households.

There are 13 prefectures, more than 100 counties, and more than 1,000 counties in Qi. The large counties have tens of thousands of people, and the small counties have thousands of people.

It takes at least 500 households to be called the county seat. There are 2,000 registered people in Lingshan County. Now there are more than 4,000 living people in Lingshan County, with an average of two people per household.

Generally speaking, if a family is not divided, it can only be counted as one. If there are many children and three generations under one roof, then there are less than seven or eight people.

Even if the family is divided into two small couples, it is two people, and after all, it is a minority of people who are alone and alone.

Under normal circumstances, the average score is one point, and almost three to four people in a household are normal.

The reason why there are so few people now is that Lingshan County was hit by a disaster not long ago. There was a ground movement. The earth dragon turned over and killed nearly two thousand people. Even the magistrate of Lingshan County died in this earthquake middle.

In fact, these are relatively small-scale earth dragons turning over.

After all, in this era, no matter whether it is rescue or anticipated means, it is far inferior to later generations. For counties like this sitting at the foot of a mountain, when they encounter ground movement and often rain, they encounter landslides, and the deaths and injuries are very tragic.

In the history of the Qi Dynasty, the largest earthquake broke out, and a total of more than 300,000 people died.

After the earth moved, the rain carried various germs, and a large-scale epidemic broke out, killing several cities.

The earthquake in this era has always been regarded as the earth dragon turning over, that is, it is the punishment that the emperor of today is not pleasing to the heavens.

Generally speaking, farming depends on the heavens for food, and it is impossible for the weather to be smooth every year, but there is nothing wrong with small disasters and small illnesses. A catastrophe like this will be regarded as the fault of the emperor.

At that time, the emperor also wrote a sin against himself, thinking that his age was about the same. The emperor was forty or fifty years old and his eldest son was full of wings. He was afraid that public opinion would spread to him.

Qiao Qing’s head is not to blame for such a small-scale movement in Lingshan County. Although people have died in this place, for the people of Lingshan County, such a large-scale movement would take more than ten years or decades. Encountered once.

Hearing that the emperor issued an edict, I hope that people of their generation will move to the northwest, and no one is willing to do it.

Lingshan County is actually very far from the northwest. There will also be some travellers in their county who travel from the north to the south. The news is relatively well-informed. Those who are close to the northwest do not move, and people who are far away are even more reluctant to move.

Moreover, Lingshan County is backed by the mountains anyway, and in a barren year, they can still rely on the mountains to eat and go hunting on the mountains.

The reason why the county is relatively wealthy is because there are more hunters. They left the mountains and the Lingshan where they grew up. Everyone felt uneasy and unwilling to leave their homes just thinking about it.

Those in the family who have died a lot of people are even older grandmothers, thinking that all the family members are dead, but they don't know how long they can live.

Under the county seat of Qi State, there are townships, li, and pavilions. The pavilion chiefs are the officials of Zhisamian. They do complex and trivial things, and there is no salary.

Because of the traffic congestion, the affairs of the new magistrate of Lingshan County are temporarily managed by a town chief surnamed Liu in the county seat.

The head of the Liu township also refused to leave. Their Liu family was the most common surname in Lingshan County, and there were a lot of people. Even if many people died this time, the Liu family remained.

Because the clans are all in different gangs, the Liu family is powerful, and there are many people pulled out from under the collapsed rubble.

When the time comes, we will travel a long distance to the northwest, and many contacts will not be used. Liu Lichang will not leave, and he will privately encourage other people not to leave and stay here firmly.

Generally speaking, the minority obeys the majority. If the people below do not unite, the officials are naturally easy to manage, but if the people below work together to protest something, the people above will also compromise because of public opinion, and the law will not blame the public. This is often the same reason.

I heard that a new adult is coming, and he is still a young hairy boy. Now he is only in his twenties, and he hasn't married his wife, so he hasn't paid much attention to the new county magistrate.

The difference between boys and men is actually very big. People who become a family tend to be more stable, mature and sensible.

Young and reckless, not knowing the heights of the sky.

As a result, when Hu Duan came, Liu Lichang was shocked.

First of all, the new county magistrate is indeed very young, but he did not come alone. He also brought the army, and he was not a small one.

There are people in Hu Duan. Many of his little brothers driven by him are not very good at home. When he was a child, he was obedient to Hu Duan's boss. Later, Hu Duan became a county lieutenant. When Hu Duan was a county lieutenant, they were even more proud of the spring breeze.

Hu Duan made a mistake, and they were unlucky together.

To be precise, it was Hu Duanrong, they were honored, Hu Duan was hurt, and they were hurt.

This time Hu Duan ran out and became a relative and stayed behind. Those who have not yet married followed him, arrogantly trying to start a big business.

These many young and strong lads standing together can bluff people, but they are not enough. On the way, Hu Duan went to the county and county, and took out the emperor's manuscript. A weapon is put on one's own people.

He said clearly that it was borrowed, not taken away, and would definitely be returned. The soldiers borrowed to help the people of Lingshan County move. This was in accordance with the edict of the emperor.

The county guard who borrowed his troops and horses did not have much interest in conflict with the Lingshan County he was going to. Moreover, the county guard had heard of Hu Duan's fame, and he couldn't stand his noise. The borrowing was very convenient.

It is said that people rely on clothing, horses rely on saddles, these ordinary puns, put on this cold armor, and then put on the long sword, each looks decent and full of majesty.

There are indeed many people in the Liu family, but the common people and the officers and soldiers are two different things. They all say that the people do not fight against the officials. The women, the elderly and the children in the family, look at the people shrinking, can they resist?

And they are young and strong, but whoever dares to brave their heads except the Maotou.

Hulala, nearly a hundred officers and soldiers pulled out the sharp blade on the waist together. With a flash of cold light, their bones softened.

Given Liu Lichang a disarm, Hu Duan went around in the county office, thinking that time is precious and not long to stay. Finally, he took the county office’s household registration and asked people to find the person in charge, ordering these people to stay there. In a short time, gather all the heads of households who are still alive, as long as they are in charge.

Four or five thousand people, all came, that is noisy, as long as a household can be the head of the household.

On the main square, Hu Duan cleared his throat: "This time our northwest army defeated the Hu Ren Tarzi, but also suffered heavy losses and urgently needed to replenish troops. Therefore, I came here on the order of today's son to arrange for you to go to the northwest for military service. , As long as you can work for the young and strong. The situation is special. It shouldn't come back every ten or eight years. If there are more, it will be twenty or thirty years or a lifetime."

The expressions of these county residents changed when they heard that it was serving.

The emperor let them go with a good voice and gave them the right to freedom. No one wanted to go, but military service and picking up strong men were things that the people feared and felt that they could not resist.

They did not have the courage to resist the court at all.

Hu Duan also said: "But the emperor is kind, saying that the border city is empty, and more people live there, reclaiming fertile land there, at most in the beginning, the life will be a bit more difficult, if you want to bring your family, you can discuss it. Fan, take it together. If it’s someone who doesn’t want it, it’s not difficult for the official. Anyway, after ten or eight years, I don’t know if people can come back alive."

"This official talks about the rules. According to the law, the head of the township chief and the chief of the pavilion will take care of his own people.

He nodded at the man he had brought, and the latter **** a big fat pig he had brought from the village.

It's a live pig, tied with five flowers, like a living person.

Hu Duan took a killing knife, the white knife went in and the red knife came out. He was not a professional pig killer, so naturally he couldn't let the pig kill him with a single knife.

With one knife after another, blood was splashed on his face, and his somewhat evil face was even more frightening. It looked like a devil crawling out of hell. The pig screams again and again, extremely sad.

Hu Duan’s younger brother said: “The adults mean that deserters are the end of this big fat pig. My sir, but the one who slaughtered four hundred county citizens at the beginning, killed all the young men. How many four hundred people do you have here? people?"

Some people below have weakened legs, even scared to pee.

Hu Duan coughed twice, then said: "Okay, this pig is slaughtered, let's share it with everyone."

He gave a slap and a sweet date: "Go back to pack your bags today and bid farewell to your relatives, friends and family. Tomorrow this time, gather again, latecomers, all beheaded and hung up poles to show the public."

As a result, even the gray-haired old man followed by the next day.

Hu Duan also shook his face: "This is going to the military service. I will bring one or two. Why are they all dragging their homes with their mouths."

The female family members wiped their tears: "Adults do good deeds. It does not mean that the emperor is kind, pitiful and pity us. Let us all take us. We will not cause trouble to the adults."

No one wants to leave their hometown, but the men and children are gone. What's the point of staying here?

If you are forced to separate the two places, it is better to stay together as a family. Even if the life is a bit harder, the family will be reunited anyway. Besides, it is not their family who left, and the folks from the village who are familiar with it.

Hu Duan’s little brothers sang and matched, and cooperated with the wooden pile soldiers. Hu Duan then relaxed: "Those who take care of you on the road, must not delay the team's schedule."
