A few days later, many thatched cottages had been built in the valley temporarily named Red Star Valley.

"The bathroom must be set up in a reasonable location and be careful not to pollute the water flow. I once again warn everyone that drinking uncooked water is not allowed." Ma Qiang made suggestions from time to time as he walked.

"Brother Ma! Uncle-in-law and the others are here!!" Lu Qingcheng shouted loudly to Ma Qiang not far away. Ma Qiang couldn't help but be overjoyed. What he was missing now was someone.

Ma Qiang and others quickly arrived at the entrance of the valley, and saw a group of people walking into the valley from a distance.

"Ouch!!" A white figure suddenly rushed towards Ma Qiang.

Looking at the big white cat charging towards him, Ma Qiang felt that the corners of his mouth were twitching.

what is this??

"Plop!" Ma Qiang was thrown to the ground by the big cat, and then started licking it crazily.

"Bai Yan...how did you become so big?"

It has only been less than a month, and this white smoke has already become the size of an Akita dog, and is completely different from the kitten that could still hold its own fingers in its mouth.

"How's it going? Brother Xiaoma, am I feeding you well?" Lin Zhi's voice came from above Ma Qiang's head, and Ma Qiang tried his best to sit up.

"Raised... well..." Ma Qiang tried his best to make himself laugh. Damn, you raised the tiger as a pig, right?

It’s not a second child!

"Right, it's so edible. When it's full, I'll hold it to sleep. As I sleep, it's grown so big that it's hard for me to hold it." Lin Zhi also jumped up, and Ma Qiang just sat up.

I was suppressed again.

"My water snake waist..."

"This time, all the people in our village, except those necessary for guarding the village, came out. Everyone is happy to receive the gift you sent." Yue Liang said with a smile.

Ma Qiang struggled desperately again, threw Bai Yan and Lin Zhi aside, and then stood up and said, "That's good. There is too little manpower here now. Uncle Lin has already cleared more than 5,000 acres of mountain forest land nearby."

I bought them all. Thanks to the wasteland here, the price is very low. I plan to recruit 3,000 people. You have to divide your teams into various counties to recruit refugees. Again, young people can bring a woman and child and pay for their settlement. We are here

Food and accommodation are included, as well as wages.”

"Three thousand refugees, this is a great kindness. Don't worry, Ma Lang, we old bones will definitely handle this matter!" Yue Liang assured, patting his chest.

A group of people dressed in rags were sitting on the roadside supporting each other, begging from passers-by. Looking at these people, a man carrying two large stacks of straw sandals and straw mats couldn't help but sigh.

"Xuande, why are you sighing again? I found that after you came back from outside, you like to sigh more and more." A farmer nearby looked at the man and couldn't help but smile.

"Hey, if I hadn't gone out, I wouldn't have known that the world has been so difficult. As a member of the Han clan, I, Liu Xuande, can only sell mats and weave shoes here and cannot serve the country. How can I not sigh.

"Liu Bei took another look at these people and was filled with emotion.

"Xuande, you just like to think about things too much. This Han Dynasty has been around for four hundred years. I'm afraid there are only 80,000 or not 100,000 clans like ours. There are not many people like you. You might as well think about it.

How can you sell your straw sandals? Your mother is still waiting for your straw sandals to eat!"

Another farmer on the side also persuaded him, and Liu Bei just felt depressed. Indeed, there were more than a hundred thousand clan members like him, but if everyone didn't care what the world had become, would the world get better?

Liu Bei was thinking about this as he came to the city to sell straw sandals and straw mats. In fact, most people can make straw sandals and straw mats, but they don't sell much at all. After selling them for a day, they only have a few copper coins.

Liu Bei watched the sun gradually setting in the west, packed up and prepared to leave. Although he didn't get much, it was enough to feed his mother at home.

"What a pity that I, the noble Prince Jing of Zhongshan, have fallen into this situation! Master Lu taught me literary and martial arts, but I can't serve the country and support my family... What's wrong with this big man...?"

Liu Bei's father actually still had an official position, but unfortunately he passed away very early. Over the years, with the savings left by his father and the care of his relatives, Liu Bei not only grew up safely, but also had money to study abroad.

It is a pity that the official position in the Han Dynasty was under the inspection system. Liu Bei could not become an official just because he was Lu Zhi's student, so he could only return to his hometown. However, Liu Bei, who had already seen the world in Luoyang, could no longer look down on the farming life in his hometown.

I wholeheartedly hope to have the opportunity to enter the imperial court, assist the emperor, and provide peace to the people.

"Come and see! Someone is recruiting refugees!"

"Recruiting refugees? And where is the rich family?"

"I don't know, but these refugees are pitiful, and having someone to give them a meal is a sign of good deeds."

Liu Bei listened to the greetings and curiously followed the flow of people outside the city. Sure enough, he saw a wooden platform set up outside the city. The word "recruitment" was written on the wooden platform. When he heard the people around him, he said it was recruiting people.

To work in Guangyang County, you have to sign a thirty-year work contract.

"Isn't this tantamount to selling yourself? Are they willing to do that?" a fat man next to him said in confusion.

"It would be nice to sell yourself to a good family now. If you were asked to work for the Yuan family in Runan or the Yang family in Hongnong, would you be willing?"

"Of course I am willing, and it would be best to bring my two sons with me." The man laughed.

"You're not stupid."

Liu Bei saw that the people queuing up to register were all refugees in rags, and couldn't help but ask, "Why are they all refugees?"

Someone nearby replied, "The owner of this house is a kind-hearted person. It stands to reason that the refugees have not had enough to eat for many days, and some are even sick. They are no better than farmers like us. But others say that the refugees are more difficult. This owner is in charge of food."

Guan Ying, if you recruit them, you will save the lives of these refugees, so we recruit these refugees first."

"That's it." Liu Bei stroked his beard and nodded. When he came out, he saw that there were only three people recruiting workers. They were already very busy. He said, "Liu Bei and Liu Xuande are proficient in writing. I think your master is very important."

I have a kind heart and would like to lend a helping hand, but I don’t know if I can?”

Deng Qing and three other people from Dasong Village came here to recruit workers. According to the plan, they were going to recruit young people in Zhuo County. When they started work for the first time, they often looked at one thing but not the other. Seeing that Liu Bei was willing to help and could write, they were overjoyed and said, "This can be a big help."

Well, there are only a few of us, and we are not very good at writing. If you don’t mind, sir, why don’t you help me register here and I’ll pay you on a daily basis.”

"This is a matter of benevolence and righteousness, why talk about money!" Liu Bei just did it and immediately started to help register. Seeing that there were people recruiting refugees here, the Zhuoxian County magistrate learned about it and also sent yamen to help maintain order.

After all, the refugees outside the city have always been a destabilizing factor. Without the refugees, his job as an official would be easier.
