The starving people fled in large numbers, and the news soon reached the city of Wangshe.

The situation in the city was similar to that of Fahrenheit, where there was a shortage of food, and the price of grain was soaring. Many people began to cut off cooking, and in the fields and on the hillsides, the wild vegetables that could be eaten became fragrant and sweet. The poor people took their tools and searched everywhere, like industrious ants, busy day and night in order to make ends meet.

I believe that it will not be long before the wild vegetables will be eaten, then the grass roots, then the bark, and then ..., they dare not think about it.

At the court, King Tiga of the Kingdom of Gundam summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures. Food shortage is an established fact, and now the focus of the problem is what to do with the poor people, force them to stay in Wangshe City, or let them defect to Tianzhu Kingdom?

"Your Majesty, there is a shortage of food in the city, and leaving some of these people will only consume more food, so it's better to let them go and let them eat the Tianzhu Kingdom."

"Nonsense, these people have all defected to Tianzhu Kingdom, and when the time comes, turn around and attack us, isn't this treason against the enemy?"

"If you can't feed it, you can't let it go, so what do you say?"

"Is there no other way? Kill it directly, you don't have to waste food, and you won't be able to fund the enemy. ”

Hearing this, Di Jia couldn't help but look at the doctor of His Royal Highness, this guy's face was cold, and his eyes revealed bursts of killing intent. Looking at this vicious guy, Di Jia felt a chill, and he shook his head secretly, "Alas, who are these people, relying on them, can they keep the country?" ”

The Tiga family has informed the country of Gundam for a hundred years, although it is not said that Yuta is merciful, but he can kill arbitrarily, and there is really no time.

"Your Majesty, Hugh wants to listen to the nonsense of the two of them." Prime Minister Buddy arched his hand and said, "The people are the foundation of the country, if the barren world is like a season, as long as you survive these few months, everything will be better." ”

"The prime minister is right, if there are no poor people, so many fields, who will cultivate them at that time? What do you eat when there is no food, what do you princes and nobles eat? Dega agreed with Buddy and angrily rebuked the two guys from earlier.

"However, we really don't have much food in our warehouse, and we have to ensure that the soldiers eat and drink, so there is really not so much food to help the poor." A courtier put reality in front of Tiga once again.

"It's not to stay, it's not to let them go, what should I do?" This is a difficult problem, Diga can't think of a way, he glanced at His Highness Wenwu, hoping that someone can help him. Prime Minister Buddy has always been resourceful, and when Tiga's eyes swept over Buddy, his eyes were full of hope.

Sure enough, Buddy did not disappoint Tiga, he looked around to the left and right, stepped forward, and said:

"Your Majesty, for the sake of today's plan, Weichen thinks that it can be solved in two steps."

When Di Jia heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly urged, "Don't say it." ”

"First, the young and strong men and women of the poor should be left behind, and the old, weak, sick and disabled should be sent away, so that they can fend for themselves. In this way, there is no need to worry about the increase in the strength of the Tianzhu Kingdom, and what is given to them is a burden. Isn't the kingdom of God preaching the love of the people, let them feed these old, weak, sick and disabled? ”

As soon as Buddy's voice fell, the ministers immediately exchanged heads and talked about it.

"Oh, Daxiang is really smart, in this way, the problem will be solved. Most of the poor people were driven away, leaving those who could work, and someone would cultivate it the next year. As for reproduction, there is no need to worry, both young men and women, and within two years, new children are born. One of the ministers complimented.

"Isn't it, killing multiple birds with one stone, leaving useful ones, increasing the burden on the Tianzhu Kingdom, eliminating the other, and we have great hope for a war in the coming day."

"And that's not all, if the next year is good, those children will grow up, and their parents will still be with us, maybe they will be able to come back."

Diga also nodded again and again, Buddy still has some wisdom, this move is really good. However, there are still fundamental problems that remain unresolved. Only young men and women remained, and the population was indeed reduced. But even if two or three out of ten are left, the food in stock is still far from enough.

He knew that Buddy would have a future, so he frowned and coughed lightly. The sycophants were very shrewd, and it was their skill to observe words and looks, and when they saw that the king was displeased, they immediately obediently shut their mouths, peeked at Tiga and Buddy, and waited for the following.

What I want to say next is probably closely related to these guys in the court, Buddy looked solemn, glanced at the ministers, and then continued:

"Second, at present, there is a shortage of food, and the rich and noble families have hoarded a large amount of food, and in just a few months, they will definitely not be able to eat so much food. According to the opinion of the ministers, His Majesty can borrow grain from the rich and nobles, and distribute the grain in a unified manner to tide over the difficulties together. ”

Not surprisingly, as soon as Buddy finished speaking, the people in the court exploded. Their faces were full of shock and puzzlement, is this looking at the excitement and burning down their own homes? Isn't it a matter of the poor? Why do you want to take over your own family's stock? Is it so important whether the untouchables live or die?

In their eyes, untouchables have always been like pigs and dogs, living and dying at will. For their sake, is it possible to make the nobles hungry? For hundreds of years, no one has heard of such a statement, and it has never been seen before. They wanted to look like a stranger, glaring at Buddy, the prime minister, and wishing to get the horse back from a few seconds ago.

"This..., we've eaten bad enough, we eat some vegetables and some food every day, and we have to scavenge our food, isn't that going hungry?" The honorable minister immediately glanced at him and jumped out and said.

"For the sake of the untouchables, let us eat chaff and starve? This is a bad ancestral system. ”

"Yes, is it possible that we should eat the same things as the untouchables?"

"If that's the case, it's better to listen to the doctor and kill them all."

When it comes to their own interests, if they don't understand it, they will oppose it. Many of the princes and ministers under the hall are relatives of Tiga, and some are also prominent families, and they usually serve Badi because of his highest official position. Now, I can't care so much about it, and I start to blame Buddy.

Equally incomprehensible, there is Tiga. He knew that if he wanted to move the guys in the church, he had to set an example himself. There were about 2,000 people in the palace, and there were many people who ate and drank every day. Of course, the king of a country is naturally well-stocked, and eating and drinking is not worried.

But listening to Buddy's meaning, he asked the rich nobles to borrow grain, saying that it was borrowing, but he didn't have to pay it back. To put it bluntly, it is necessary to confiscate all grain collection and distribute it in a unified manner. Maybe by that time, the gap between the nobles and the poor will be just one more bowl of rice?

This is not a trivial matter, and Diga fell into deep thought. Buddy knew that this article would definitely offend people, and it was not mortals, and after he finished speaking, he kept silent and waited for King Tiga's final decision.
