Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that not all of the life-saving money and food allocated by the imperial court have gone to the hands of the people, most of them have been deducted layer by layer, and what really reaches the people is very few, and for those people who are waiting for the rescue of the imperial court, this has to be said to be a heavy blow.

After waiting for so long, the long-awaited chance to survive turned out to be like this in the end. Because of this, more people joined the ranks of the homeless, of course, not all of these homeless people chose to beg for food, or wait for the mercy of the court, and more chose to become bandits, or steal and rob, which brought a very bad impact on the security of this society.

Fortunately, everyone knows that you need to go east to find a way to live, and Chenjia Village is located in the southwest, so there is no big wave of displaced people coming, otherwise, Chenjia Village will not have such a quiet environment now, those villages in the east, many have been harassed by the displaced people, and everything that can be eaten in the field has been taken away, and those villagers are not guarding everywhere 24 hours a day, so there will be no harvest in the field this year.

Although this is killing chickens to get eggs, and those seedlings are not very full, but the homeless people who are already extremely hungry even eat the bark of trees, naturally they will not let go of these. Of course, the impact of this drought has widened, and even some places that have not been affected by the drought, or who have been slightly affected, have been forced to join the ranks of displaced people.

After all, there is no harvest in the field, and next year's taxes will not be paid at all, so it is better to leave with the grain and go to other places to find a way to live.

Of course, most of the displaced people were originally very poor families, and those who had a little savings in the family could grit their teeth and survive this drought, unless it was in those areas that were severely affected, where even drinking water was a problem, the group would be transferred, and the rest were poor families in the village who had left their homes.

Originally, the relief of the imperial court was supposed to send food to every common man, so that these people could tide over the difficulties, and they believed that the imperial court would not abandon them. After all, if there are more displaced people, it is also very detrimental to the stability of the country, except for those who have become bandits, thieves, and robbers, and there is no one to cultivate the original land, and the country's tax revenue will be less.

Moreover, if the situation is really urgent, those people who have not eaten can do anything, and it is not without history that there have been cases of displaced people attacking officials and opening warehouses to grab grain. There have even been peasant uprisings, and the imperial court naturally wanted to appease the people and not make the situation worse.

Of course, no matter where it is, what dynasty it is, officials always have moths, just like most of the money for disaster relief this time went into the pockets of officials along the way. These officials, in order to enrich their own pockets, rarely pay attention to the situation of the people, and some officials even think that it is nothing if those lowly people die, after all, Ziyao Country has a large population, and there has been no war for many years, so few people care about what the people at the bottom really are.

The displaced people were displaced and poured into several nearby cities, which of course could not accommodate so many displaced people, so the displaced people continued to look eastward, looking for places to live. However, this journey is not so easy, except for the bandits along the way, there are not a few people who die of thirst and starvation.

When you meet an official with a little conscience, you may be able to meet free soup soup and food at the city gate, and if you meet some hard-hearted people, the homeless people can't even enter the city.

This drought is not only widespread and affects a large number of people, but also produces a large number of displaced people. There are corpses all over the road, lower-level officials conceal and do not report, officials protect each other, and the emperor who is far away in the capital naturally does not know the situation and thinks that the disaster relief results are good.

Of course, the superior also has his own eyeliner, and the paper can't hold the fire, although the people below try their best to hide it, but in the end the emperor still knows what kind of suffering his people are suffering, and how his officials are enriching their own pockets.

The emperor was furious, and the corpse was floating for thousands of miles. Although the current emperor could not achieve such a goal, all the officials related to this disaster relief were beheaded, and their homes were also raided, and the confiscated money and silver were used for disaster relief.

It's a pity that after such a delay, a month has passed, and countless people have died during this period, because there are too many dead and wounded, the corpses are exposed to the wilderness, and the corpses slowly decompose, producing various viruses, which are often called plagues. What was already a terrible situation is now even worse.

If the drought can still be avoided, then the plague is unpreventable, I don't know when death will take your life, and the speed of the spread of the plague has greatly exceeded many people's expectations, it was originally just a case of the epidemic, and it did not attract people's attention, but soon after, a large-scale outbreak began, but at this time, it was a little late, and the plague took the lives of a large number of people.

If we talk about the drought, although they have some losses, they may make more money than they lose through the disaster, but the plague does not distinguish between high and low, and if they also catch the disease, then they will also die.

Therefore, the officials who were originally covered up immediately wrote to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court would find a way to control the epidemic, which is a world different from the indifference during the previous drought, after all, it is about themselves, and no one will be ambiguous. In addition to reporting, local officials also began to inspect their own places to see if there was any disease, and if so, they were immediately isolated, and people were also sent to disinfect all parts of the street, which was astonishingly fast.

However, if these people had solved the drought earlier, resettled the victims as soon as possible, and had not let so many people die tragically, then this plague would probably not have happened, and it would have been solved now, and the manpower and material resources would have been much more than if they had been solved before.

The rapid spread of the epidemic aroused great attention from the imperial court, and doctors were immediately sent to the disaster area to see a doctor, and a batch of medicinal materials were also allocated. Of course, the army was also sent to intercept the victims and prevent them from continuing to advance eastward, delaying the spread of the plague.

Some cities and villages with severe plague have even been completely isolated, and the dead and the bones along the road have also been burned, under such control, the rapid spread of the plague has indeed been contained, but now the doctor has not yet developed a cure for the plague, and can only rely on the patient to carry it himself, at most he can prescribe a little medicine to regulate the patient's body.
