Chapter 217: The Disaster in the History Books.
It's just that I galloped all the way on the official road, and the house dragon didn't see many locusts, of course, I didn't see many people, and the two sides of the official road have become bare, leaving only some gnawed yellow tree trunks, and the ground has cracked many cracks under the scorching sun.
There are also many corpses on both sides of the road, and the carriages gallop by, sometimes startling a lot of crows, wild wolves and vicious dogs.
The house dragon was shocked in his heart, and he had only heard the records in the history books before, that the victims were displaced and the bones were strong
There are even people who eat different children and eat Guanyin soil and stomachs,
This kind of miserable scene is even more terrifying than the purgatory on earth,
House Dragon thought that this was just a record in the history books, and the historian exaggerated it, but now it seems that the real history is like this!
Even the scene that the house dragon saw at this moment was even more tragic than in the history books, as said in a certain TV series in later generations!
People in the pot, that's a pile of meat!
There are those who eat Guanyin soil and swell themselves to death,
But this is still lucky, more people are starving to death!
…
"Big brother, walk another hundred miles to Mizhou! Do I need to notify Michigan officials in advance? ”
Xue Rengui shouted at the top of his voice, from Chang'an to Shandong, they arrived in only five days, which can be regarded as speed.
When Lao Li cultivated Xue Rengui, he was not a flower that he kept in the greenhouse.
Over the years, Xue Rengui has followed the special forces under Lao Li Tou, and he has also run a lot of places and done a lot of big things in Datang!
"No need, General Niu, you take a large group of people, and rush to Mizhou in two days, the second brother, the third brother, the fourth brother, the fifth brother and the sixth brother, we will go straight to Mizhou, we don't need to be notified, we can't give them time to reflect, I want to see how the real Mizhou is!"
The house dragon said in a deep voice, starving all the way on this official road, which made the house dragon have a very bad idea,
Fried locusts can indeed save the lives of some victims, but they can't save all the victims in Shandong.
I just don't know how much I've saved, and how much I can't save!
…
Michigan,
The Shandong of the Tang Dynasty belongs to the general term, probably including the later Shandong Province, the whole territory of Henan Province, the northern part of Jiangsu Province and the northern part of Anhui Province, the scope is very large, and it belongs to Henan Province!
The Mizhou where the house dragon went belonged to the scope of Shandong in later generations, and belonged to the most serious place of drought in Shandong.
Mizhou city defense is strong, the wall is four feet high, it is the place of state governance, the chief officer is the history of Mizhou Thorn, is a member of the three products,
It has a county order, which is divided into upper county, middle county and lower county according to the population of each county!
The upper county order is seven products, the middle county order is eight products, and the lower county order is nine products!
Approaching the house in Mizhou City, the dragon smelled a burst of fragrance,
This group of them, in order to hurry up all the way, can be described as sleeping in the open air, and they haven't eaten hot food for a long time.
At this moment, I suddenly smelled this aroma, and my stomach couldn't help but growl.
"It's so fragrant, it's fried locusts!" Cheng Tieniu snorted, saliva almost flowed down,
Fried locusts, now promoted throughout the country, with its unique taste, has won the popularity of the people of the country, Cheng Tieniu they are familiar with the vision of fried locusts!
"Big brother, look, outside Mizhou City, there are so many people!"
Luo Tong pointed to the crowd outside Mizhou City and said to the house dragon,
The house dragon looked forward fixedly, and sure enough, he saw groups of people gathered around under the walls of Mizhou, as if they were waiting for something, and the gusting aroma came from these victims.
"Big brother, it seems that Mizhou's disaster relief is still doing well!"
Cheng Tieniu was slightly surprised and said that the three locust plagues, the drought in Shandong, Mizhou is one of the most severely affected areas.
It is not easy to open a porridge farm and provide relief to the victims.
"Let's go and see!"
But the house dragon frowned, the reason why he rushed to Shandong and went straight to Mizhou was to find out the real situation of the people affected by the drought in Shandong as soon as possible.
The starvation that came all over the place made the house dragon not have much hope for Mizhou City,
But now it seems that the situation in Michigan is not bad, and it can even be said that it is better than the house dragon imagined, but is this possible?
Under the city wall, pots of fragrant rice porridge and pots of fried golden and crispy fried locusts are placed on the dark table under the city wall.
Behind the cauldron of porridge are officials and officials with big spoons,
Porridge is being given to these victims in an orderly manner.
And after eating the porridge, you can also get a small spoonful of fried locusts, the number of which is twenty or thirty, although it is not much, but it can be regarded as a dish!
Many of the victims made porridge, and then they took bowls and ate and drank under the city walls, and the house dragon looked at these people under the city walls.
Although the complexion is not ruddy, it is definitely not a yellow face with thin muscles and weak energy.
At most, it can only be regarded as a dish with noodles, but under the great drought and disaster, the people just have vegetables on their faces, which is absolutely extraordinary, at least this Lord Thorn in Mizhou has extraordinary means!
"Fellow, are you from Michigan?"
The house dragon rode to the corner of the city wall, and saw several disaster victims gathered together to drink porridge, and the house dragon couldn't help but come up and ask!
"Who are you?"
The victims looked up and asked in a little surprise.
"Oh, I'm here to collect locusts in Shandong, I heard that Shandong has suffered a catastrophe, and there are a lot of locusts, so we came to buy locusts, but along the way, I haven't seen many locusts, so I want to ask, do you know what's going on?"
House Dragon asked quietly, whether this Mizhou Thorn Shi is a capable minister, or is doing superficial work, House Dragon still needs to investigate clearly.
"Oh, then you're too late, our locusts in Mizhou have already been cleaned up, besides, those locusts have wiped out all the crops in Michigan, so naturally they will fly elsewhere!"
One of the victims was holding a large bowl and drinking rice porridge, and the house dragon looked at it carefully.
This rice porridge is very thick, and it is definitely the kind that can stand up with chopsticks!
"That's a pity, we came all the way to do a locust business, but we didn't think about it, there was no supply!"
House Long said with disappointment: "By the way, fellow countryman, our Shandong has suffered such a big disaster, I heard that many people have fled to Chang'an and fled to other places, why are you still staying here, and the government still has food and porridge!" ”
This is where the house dragon feels a little strange, this way to Mizhou,
Hunger is everywhere, but only outside Mizhou City can still make people drink rice porridge and eat fried locusts, which has to make the house suspicious!
