"Okay, if you want to pass it on, you must be careful, and you can only pass it on to shopkeeper Liu orally, understand?" Gu Chengrui solemnly instructed.

If this thing is discovered and used by other people, it will be another disaster for Daming.

Sun Hongliang looked at his serious expression, nodded solemnly and said, "Understood."

"Well, I'll leave it to you here. When it really comes to a crisis, we'll rush over as soon as this thing sounds." After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he asked him a few more words.

Then Zhou Ying and Zhou Ying went to Lao Ji and asked him to kill a sheep every day, or a cow every two days, so as to ensure the food for the long-term workers.

After taking a piece of beef suet and a piece of beef tenderloin, he reported a letter to Hu Chun and returned to the village.

The village head didn't even eat breakfast after getting up, so he called two young men to follow him, went to the town to find Tian Jingzhong, and told him about the group of refugees.

"Why are there such wicked people?" Tian Jingzhong stood up in shock and said.

"I didn't think of it either, but it really happened." The village head said with a wry smile.

Then he asked: "How should these people be dealt with, should they be killed or..."

"Come with me to the county seat. We have just planted sweet potatoes. It is not a trivial matter for refugees to come at this time. You must tell Master Kong."

"Okay." As soon as the village chief opened his mouth, his stomach growled.

Tian Jingzhong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Have you guys not had breakfast yet?"

"Isn't this thinking about dealing with those people as soon as possible, so..."

"Then you have to cherish your body." After Tian Jingzhong finished speaking, he asked the servant girl to bring them a black-faced vegetable bun and a bowl of miscellaneous flour paste.

After the three of them finished eating, the group hurried to the county government office in a carriage.

Shopkeeper Liu happened to be there too, he didn't know what he was talking about, and his expression was quite serious.

Seeing the village head following him, he was taken aback for a moment. After the two looked at each other, County Magistrate Kong asked, "Did something happen?"

After hearing this, Tian Jingzhong looked directly at the village chief.

The village chief nodded after understanding, and said what happened last night and what he heard without reservation: "How to deal with those people, I will leave it to the county magistrate to decide."

County magistrate Kong was silent for a long time after hearing this, it was really a leaky house and it was raining all night, being an official these days is really fucking hard.

How can so many refugees be resettled after they arrive? If they are not resettled, they will just watch and wait to die. It will be troublesome if there is a riot.

"Ahem." Shopkeeper Liu coughed dryly to remind him that everyone was still waiting for his answer.

His cough reminded him, and he said afterwards: "Well, it's human life anyway, it's a pity to kill them like this, let them go to the army.

It happened that I just received the imperial decree yesterday asking for conscription. "

"Conscription, conscription at this time?" Tian Jingzhong exclaimed.

There is no peace in Daming now, if you call for troops at this time, there will probably be chaos.

No wonder their faces were so ugly when they came in.

"Well, Daliao in the north is getting more and more arrogant. It's a matter of time before the war starts, so conscription is a must." County Magistrate Kong nodded.

Then he said: "We have to discuss this matter before assigning it, so don't talk about it for now."

"Understood." Tian Jingzhong nodded.

The three village chiefs had no choice but to nod their heads, but their hearts were in a mess.

Especially the village head, their village is still safe and sound, apart from being supported by sweet potatoes, to put it bluntly, it is still strong and labor-intensive, which is why it has withstood the prying eyes of outsiders.

What will happen to their village if the strong labor force is taken away.
