After listening to Zhu Changshou's words, Lin Yiran lowered her eyes and glanced around.
"A foolish ruler misled the country, leading to natural disasters, and collusion between officials and businessmen led to the people's miserable lives."
"However, God has mercy on all living things and has specially sent down sweet potatoes to help you survive this calamity and reach Brahma City safely."
When the people in Zhujia Village heard that the gods had also given them sweet potatoes, they couldn't help but smile and their eyes showed excitement.
It turned out that the immortal did not let them go back to wait for death, but paved the way for them.
Sweet potatoes are good, they can quench thirst and relieve hunger. If they eat them sparingly, they should be able to reach Brahma City.
Looking at the direction the immortal's mount is heading, it should also be heading to Brahma City.
Could it be that General Xiao has a posthumous child in Brahma City, and the immortal went to Brahma City specifically to support the descendants of the Xiao family?
After all, everyone in the country knew that the Xiao family had been ransacked and exterminated.
General Xiao had just won a battle in Brahma City before returning to the capital. He probably expected that he would die if he returned, so he left his child in Brahma City...
Zhu Changshou's eyes flickered, and combined with what the immortal said, he felt more and more that his guess was almost right.
good!
The people of Zhujia Village have decided to take over the Brahma City. It is better to follow the Xiao family army than to be refugees.
Having said that, Lin Yiran turned to look at Xiao Yunzhan who was standing in the driver's seat and staring at her, gritted her teeth and said in a very subtle voice,
"How long does it take to walk from here to Brahma City?"
Sweet potatoes can indeed quench thirst and relieve hunger, but if each person gets two, they can only last for ten days at most if they are eaten sparingly.
If Xiao Yunzhan didn't have good hearing, he wouldn't be able to hear what Lin Yiran said.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, he cleared his throat, lowered his eyes to look at everyone, and continued with Lin Yiran's words,
"It will take you at least a month and a half to walk from here to Brahma City, so you should eat your sweet potatoes carefully. If you eat them all at once, the rest of the day will be difficult..."
After saying that, Xiao Yunzhan looked at Lin Yiran.
He said this for Lin Yiran to hear. In this dry and hot weather, the sweet potatoes won't last long.
Giving them too much sweet potato is also unsafe.
This drought has affected almost the entire country. The situation in the south is relatively better because of the many rivers, lakes and seas.
The situation is not much better elsewhere.
These were the first batch of refugees they encountered, and they encountered more and more as time went by.
We have to find a way to have the best of both worlds.
Zhu Changshou and the people of Zhujia Village kowtowed hurriedly, "Thank you for your guidance, Immortal. We can hold on. With the sweet potatoes you gave us, we will definitely make it to Brahma City."
He would take one or two bites a day, travel day and night, and try to reach Brahma City in a month to join the Xiao family army.
"One and a half months!" Lin Yiran widened her eyes in shock and glanced at the sweet potatoes under the quilt in the car bag.
Two sweet potatoes per person would take one and a half months to eat. How could they survive to reach Brahma City?
Lin Yiran looked at the people from Zhujia Village who were kneeling on the ground.
Among the approximately 120 people, more than half are young and middle-aged people. There are only about 20 people under the age of 10, and the number of middle-aged and elderly people is about the same.
Yes, refugees who are not physically strong or cannot endure the hardships cannot reach here. At their speed, it will take at least 20 days to walk from Pinghe City to here.
Refugees who can reach here are considered to be resilient and patient, and are good candidates for military service.
It would be a shame not to accept these people who obey discipline and follow instructions.
"We are heading to Brahma City. We can temporarily recruit you on behalf of the Xiao Family Army. Anyone who is willing to join the Xiao Family Army, please raise your hands..."
The villagers of Zhujia Village opened their eyes wide and stared at Lin Yiran with a look of disbelief on their faces.
Does this mean they are indirectly following the immortal?
Does the immortal mean to take them with him to Brahma City?
In just a moment, all the villagers in Zhujia Village raised their hands.
"Just raise your right hand!"
Lin Yiran curled the corners of her lips.
As soon as she finished speaking, the villagers of Zhujia Village, with shining eyes, put down their left hands almost simultaneously.
He cooperated very well, raised his dirty right hand high, and looked at Lin Yiran with anticipation.
Lin Yiran cleared her throat.
"It's enough for a family to have one person serving in the military. Men over 45 don't need to raise their hands."
"If a family doesn't have able-bodied men to serve in the army, they can send an older man or woman to help with logistics. All of this will be arranged by the Xiao family army once you arrive in Brahma City..."
"You will just follow our car from a distance along the way. We will definitely encounter refugees in the future. When that happens, you will just follow his instructions..."
Lin Yiran pointed at Xiao Yunzhan and told him to listen to her when it came to training the soldiers.
She couldn't give the food away for free. It was absolutely impossible for her to support the army for Emperor Wu of Liang.
You have to be their soldiers and subjects to have food. Who would be stupid enough to feed the enemy?
They can walk slower on the road and recruit soldiers while they are on the way.
When it was time to rest at night, Xiao Yunzhan would train the newly recruited soldiers well and build an iron-clad army, and then they would rush to Brahma City together to shock the Xiao family army.
All the people in Zhujia Village looked at Xiao Yunzhan.
They waited anxiously to see who would be asked to stay by the person driving the immortal mount.
Xiao Yunzhan looked at Lin Yiran deeply, then turned to look at the people from Zhujia Village who were looking at him excitedly.
"From now on, you are all members of the Xiao family army..."
The people in Zhujia Village opened their eyes wide with excitement and couldn't help cheering and screaming.
"That's great, it's really great. Thank you, immortal, thank you, God, thank you... We swear allegiance to the Xiao family army until death."
The children who had just eaten were dancing excitedly and shouting with hoarse voices.
"I am a member of the Xiao family army. I want to be a soldier of the Xiao family..."
The people’s demands are actually very simple. They don’t care who is the emperor. Whoever can keep them alive is their emperor.
Lin Yiran looked at the people of Zhujia Village who were cheering, and couldn't help getting excited when she thought of the scene of leading a mighty army to Brahma City.
Since they are all my subordinates, I have to arrange their clothes.
Originally, she wanted to get some old Beijing cloth shoes for the refugees to wear.
The shoes in the space that were collected from the capital were all embroidered with some patterns. Even the eunuchs' shoes were embroidered with some dark patterns. These were all antiques and very valuable. She couldn't bear to take them out and waste them.
Moreover, camouflage uniforms are naturally the most suitable clothes for the military.
Lin Yiran opened the mall and searched. A complete set of camouflage uniforms includes a camouflage hat (one), a camouflage top (one), a camouflage quick-drying short-sleeved shirt (two), a pair of camouflage trousers (one pair), a pair of camouflage training shoes, and a belt (one).
This set only costs one hundred dollars.
purchase!
It’s just a small amount of money!
