Gao Pragmatic returned to Beijing this time and did not take the post road when he returned to Yu the previous time, but took the line of Zhongmu. Before he went to Kaifeng to take the exam, his rider had lived in the manor of the Zhang family in Zhongmu, and this time he went to express his gratitude on the way back, after all, Mrs. Zhang of Gao Gong is his aunt, even if he looks at Gao Gong's face, he can not lose his courtesy.

Since you are going to Zhongmu, you have to pass by Kaifeng Mansion again. It is quite inconvenient to cross the Yellow River in these years, if there are fewer people, it is better, but like Gao Pragmatic with a large team of two hundred horsemen, it will be impossible to find a ferry to cross the river, a ferry boat at a small ferry can only pass a dozen people, if you count the horses, Gao Pragmatic they have to grind for two or three days just to cross the river, the efficiency is too low, so they can only take the big ferry.

There is a big ferry port directly north from Kaifeng, and after crossing the Yellow River, it is not far to the north, and it will arrive at Yanjin. Yanjin is the place where the Yuan army general Wen Chou died when the Yuan Cao War kicked off at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, Gao Pragmatic had just passed through Yanjin and actually encountered homeless people.

At the beginning, these homeless people only came in twos and threes, Gao Shishi called Gao Jue, asked about the dry food reserves carried by the team, and then distributed a part to the homeless people who came to ask for help, who knew that they actually got into trouble.

Less than two hours later, a large wave of displaced people surrounded the high-level procession.

If you want to say that these homeless people are really miserable, they are all yellow and thin, and their clothes are ragged, if it is not for the summer, they are afraid that most of them will freeze to death, and now they are surrounded by a pragmatic team, and they have no evil thoughts, but just look at the pragmatic carriage pitifully.

Occasionally, the homeless person holding the child stepped forward and cried heartbroken, while begging Gao Jue to save the child. Many parents said that they could still eat some grass roots and bark to carry, but their children really couldn't eat those things, "beg the lord to do a good job and reward a piece of bread."

Gao Jue's face was embarrassed, although he was highly pragmatic and reused, but after all, he was only a family member, where did he do it? What's more, Gao Pragmatic had already distributed all the dry food that could be evenly distributed before, and now if he distributes it again, his own people will be hungry.

Although the homeless people who came to ask for help were honest, they could also see that Gao Jue was not a wicked person, and his expression showed signs of loosening, and he begged bitterly.

Gao Jue was forced to have no choice but to go to Gao Pragmatic's car to pray.

Although Gao Shishi was in the car, he didn't know what was happening outside, he sighed and said: "Gao Jue, you should also be able to see that it's not that I refuse to save it, it's just that there are too many of these displaced people." We are not a food team, so we brought a little ration to eat on the road, and now it is easy to distribute it, but if we have to starve ourselves, and if we distribute it, it will be a drop in the bucket, and we will not be able to save it at all. ”

Gao Jue glanced at the group of displaced people and found that in just these two hours, the convoy was surrounded by several times, and he was afraid that there would be no more than 3,000 people. There are only 200 people in my line, how much dry food can I bring? How many lives can be saved?

So for Gao Shishi's words, Gao Jue couldn't answer, opened his mouth, and finally only sighed: "In this way, these homeless people are just dying." As he spoke, his eyes showed uncontrollable sadness.

Gao Pragmatic was also a little anxious in his heart, sitting in the city talking about disaster relief, he could be unmoved, completely rationalize his behavior, try his best to save it, and give up if he can't save it. But at this moment, seeing so many miserable homeless people with my own eyes, the sentence "powerless" is really a little unspeakable.

Who hasn't had compassion?

Gao Shishi thought about it, suddenly gritted his teeth, and said with a somewhat ugly face: "You go and tell them that we have limited food and can't save everyone, so let them gather the children under the age of ten, and we can only take care of these children for one meal...... You go first, I'll change my clothes and come out." ”

Gao Jue was overjoyed when he heard this, but he still subconsciously glanced at Gao Pragmatic's clean blue trolling, and flashed a touch of puzzlement, but he didn't ask too much, and hurriedly saluted Gao Pragmatic with his fists, and turned around to negotiate with the homeless people.

As soon as Gao Jue left, Shuai Jiamo couldn't help but remind: "The owner, it's not that Xiaosheng has annihilated the conscience, but since Xiaosheng has eaten the owner's meal, he should do his best for the owner, and he has to say something." ”

Gao Pragmatic took out the big red silk bullfighting suit from the suitcase of the carriage, and said while changing clothes: "You say, I'll listen." But if you want to say that after our rations are distributed to those children, they will only be starving today, then you don't need to say it, I know the severity. But you think, even if we are hungry, it will only take two meals, as long as we arrive at Weihui Mansion before tonight, we will have food, and when the time comes, I will pay for everyone to have a supper, and make up for it, but these homeless people outside, they are hungry again, I am afraid that something will happen, especially those children......"

His current body is a child in itself, and the half-sized child is especially edible, can he still not know? People in this era of the Ming Dynasty don't know what a child's metabolism is fast, doesn't he know either? Eating too much and being hungry fast is the characteristic of children, and once they are hungry and hungry, not to mention that their growth and development are not good, many times their bodies and bones will be a little worse in this life.

Shuai Jiamo said: "Boss, what Xiaosheng wants to say is not this, but ...... The owner thinks about it, when we came out of Yanjin County just now, the city of Yanjin County was full of militia in ten steps and one post, and at that time Xiaosheng thought that it was just because the front line suffered a defeat, and the rear was a little nervous. ”

Gao Shishi's action of changing clothes suddenly paused, his face became ugly, he let out a breath of turbidity, and said in a deep voice: "You mean that they don't allow the homeless people to enter the city?" ”

Shuai Jiamo smiled bitterly: "It's certain that the displaced people are not allowed to enter the city, it's just a county, not to mention that Yanjin is not a rich county, even if it is, it's useless - no matter where the county lord is, he doesn't dare to put in thousands of hungry and green eyes at once...... Xiaosheng means that if these places where displaced people have fled not only do not think of disaster relief, but also close the city to defend themselves, it is equivalent to letting the displaced people fend for themselves, and these displaced people may still be able to insist on not doing evil at the moment, but they are really hungry, but whenever someone comes out to provoke the head, it will inevitably turn into civil unrest. ”

In fact, when Shuai Jiamo was only halfway through speaking, Gao Pragmatic already understood the truth, but it was precisely because he understood it that his face became more and more difficult to see.

Rubbish! These magistrates are a bunch of rubbish! In the era of Lao Tzu, a landlord made such a mentally retarded decision, one was counted as one, and the whole TM only deserved to be removed!

TMD, which dynasty and generation has not had such a thing as a disaster, and your emergency measures are to ignore it? That little disaster has to be made into a big trouble by you, and your brain has grown to the stomach!
