Dozens of miles east of Kaifeng City, as far as the eye can see, the number of people is already boundless, and it is impossible to count.

After a month of conquering the city, the number of displaced people doubled from 500,000 to a full 1 million.

This is just one way, if you count the other two roads, I am afraid that there will be two million in the end, which makes Qin Yu also have to sigh, Henan is worthy of being a province with a large population, the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Since ancient times, no matter how much it has endured wars, fires, and famines, no matter how bare the land has been thousands of miles, and in the end, Henan has always been the most populous province and the province with the closest land use to saturation.

This is also why the heroes have always been heroes, and in the end, they have to compete for the Central Plains, because those who win the Central Plains may not win the world, but those who win the world must win the Central Plains.

In his opinion, the most scarce resource in ancient times was actually population, and Henan was a flat river, with convenient transportation and easy management.

The reason why it has become such a hell on earth is that it has not been properly managed, and except for the locust plague, there are other ways to solve it.

At this time, the red warbler also led the army to kill Qixian in the south of Kaifeng, and Niu Er was still in Suizhou in Defu because of the long way around.

However, to Qin Yu's surprise, there were not many homeless people under Kaifeng City, but Xiangfu County, which was more than 20 miles to the south, gathered a large number of homeless people, at least no less than 500,000.

"In other words, the entire Kaifeng radius of two hundred miles of displaced people have gone to Xiangfu County?"

Qin Yu didn't have much impression of this Xiangfu County, but he only remembered that there seemed to be an Xiangfu District in Kaifeng City in his previous life.

"Yes King Hua, it is said that Xiangfu County was still giving porridge yesterday, and it only stopped this morning, and now it is very chaotic over there."

An old man with immortal wind bones explained.

This person's surname is Niu, his name is Jin Xing, and he took the initiative to defect half a month ago, which really surprised King Qin, and after some comparison, he felt that he was quite strategic, so he stayed by his side.

"Oh? No wonder after approaching Kaifeng, there was no one along the way. ”

"Well, it seems that Xiangfu Zhixian is also a character, and he can be spared his life after the city is broken."

Qin Yu was surprised for a moment, then nodded and said, and the intention of soliciting suddenly rose in his heart.

Because along the way, all parts of Henan are closed city gates, allowing the victims to fend for themselves, even Kaifeng City is no exception, but now a small auspicious Fu Zhi County, but dare to face difficulties, it is very rare.

If Xiang Fu Zhixian knew that he was targeted by King Xiaohua, he would probably have to cry to death, because he didn't want to give porridge at all, so he couldn't be the master.

At this time, outside Xiangfu City, hundreds of thousands of displaced people surrounded the county seat, crying and begging, shouting and screaming.

The gentry and magistrates at the head of the city were all anxious when they saw that the homeless people were about to become chaotic people.

And a beautiful woman in palace costume looked at Zhixian on the side with an angry face, and said in a rather stern tone: "Huang Zhixian, why didn't you give porridge this morning?" ”

"Niangniang, it's not that the lower officials refuse to give porridge, but... It's that there is no food! ”

The magistrate hurriedly knelt down, looking like he was about to cry.

"What? How can there be no food? Didn't there be more than 20,000 stones a while ago? Did you float away from it? ”

"Niangniang, wronged, the minister even borrowed ten guts and didn't dare to float away Niangniang's money and food, but this time the disaster victims are gathering more and more, and the daily consumption of food can not be counted, just 20,000 stones is really a drop in the bucket, if Niangniang doesn't believe it, please look at the account books..."

The magistrate was suddenly anxious, and hurriedly asked the master to bring the account book, holding it in both hands and handing it to her.

The beautiful woman in the palace frowned, took the account book and looked at it, and the more frightened she looked, but her face gradually eased, and finally closed the account book and sighed softly:

"It's the palace that blames you, get up, but the victims have two bowls of gruel a day, and they are barely surviving, but now they don't even have to drink the porridge, what should I do?"

"Niangniang, I really don't have any food left at home!" When the gentry saw her, they were also about to cry.

In the past two or three months, they have followed her to soup porridge, and now there is really no extra food at home.

"Rice bran and wheat bran are good, are they gone?" The beautiful woman looked at them with a hint of anticipation on her face.

That demeanor really made the gentry want to go bankrupt and make her laugh, but there was really no more. Even if I wanted to buy it, I couldn't buy it now, so I shook my head in unison, and then lowered my head.

Of course, some people rolled their eyes in their hearts and said secretly, do you now know that rice bran and wheat bran are good things, and they can be eaten?

Yes, at the beginning, what they gave to the victims was rice bran and wheat bran, who would have wanted to be scolded half to death by this fairy-like lady, and finally had to grit their teeth and add a little refined grain.

"Do you really want to watch these hundreds of thousands of people starve to death?"

This palace beauty is Zhang Yan.

The impact on her in March was too great, and at this moment, looking at the hundreds of thousands of victims in the city who were waiting to be fed, but she was helpless, her heart was extremely uncomfortable, and two tears couldn't help but slip out of the corners of her eyes.

Huang Zhixian also sighed, if it weren't for the beginning, Niangniang insisted on steaming steamed buns for these victims, wasting too much, I'm afraid it would be able to last another seven or eight days, and now I have to grit my teeth and say: "Niangniang, there should be surplus food in the Zhou Wangfu, if Niangniang goes in person, I think the prince will still take out some more, plus the other county kings in the city will get together again, maybe it will be able to last until the spring of next year." ”

"Yes, Niangniang should leave the auspicious charm quickly and go to Kaifeng City!"

All the gentry and big families have persuaded one after another, and now the thieves are raging in Kaifeng Mansion, Zhang Yan stayed in this small Xiangfu county and did not leave, and everyone was worried.

"As soon as this palace leaves, you will definitely no longer care about the lives and deaths of these victims, right?"

Zhang Yan is not stupid, if she hadn't been staring at here, I am afraid that there would have been countless people starving to death and freezing to death.

"Now that there is no food left in the city, if the mother does not leave, can she save them? Only if Niangniang goes to Kaifeng City as soon as possible to raise food, can she save them! ”

An old man finally stood up under the frequent glances of everyone, and said in a rather stern tone, it is the elder of the Zhang family who has not yet come out of the five suits, if it is according to the generation, it should be called grandpa.

"What's the matter, what does it matter if the palace just blushes out its face and begs the king of Zhou? Just how to get out of town now? ”

Zhang Yan is also a thoughtful person, knowing that there is indeed not much surplus food in the city, she still nodded after all, and then looked at the rioting people outside the city.

"This lady doesn't need to worry, I'll wait for another get-together, and apply porridge again on the east, west and south sides, and the mother will take the opportunity to go out from Beicheng and arrive in Kaifeng in half an hour." The old man of the Zhang family gritted his teeth and said.

"Then please everyone, this time Zu'e returned to his hometown and added a lot of trouble to the neighbors, and I really don't want to go, only to bow and talk about my heart."

Zhang Yan said, and actually bent down and bowed to the gentry in a dignified manner.

"Mother, don't..."

Everyone knew that they quickly knelt down and returned the salute, and the old tears were all over the place, and there was no complaint in their hearts.

Immediately, a batch of grain was made up again, and the housekeeper was asked to boil porridge in a pot on three sides while maintaining order.

Sure enough, when the displaced people saw that the city was giving porridge again, they immediately quieted down, and obediently sat on the ground and waited, and the people in the northern city also flocked to the other two sides.

It wasn't until they began to line up for soup that the north gate creaked open, and more than a thousand people gathered around a luxury carriage and hurried north.
