Chapter 71, The Outcast

At the entrance of the west gate of Beijing, a large number of homeless people gathered together, thinly dressed, shivering in the cold wind, and their eyes looked at the tall city gate from time to time, inside was another world, and at the same time they were very afraid to look at the guards at the city gate, only hating themselves for not having wings.

The guards guarding the gate here at the city gate were also very nervous, and these hundreds of hooligans were crowded at the city gate, and when it looked like it, the whole front was black and oppressive.

These hooligans were carrying large bags and small bags, dressed in tatters, as thin as wood, their eyes were shining, and the word "homeless" was almost written on their faces.

In normal times, when there were one or two, these guards would have turned a blind eye and let them in, but now, hundreds of people crowded over at once, and these guards would never dare to let people in.

If the above blames it, it will still be a trivial matter to lose the iron rice bowl, and if these hooligans make some more moths, they will be killed.

You must know that once a person reaches a desperate situation, he can do everything, stealing and robbing are nothing, in the past winter, if the homeless people enter the city, all kinds of cases will occur frequently, so it is generally not easy to let the homeless people enter the city, not to mention hundreds of people at once.

"Stand back~ Stand back, let me all disperse, otherwise, I will arrest you all one by one."

At the gates, the guards guarded the gates and began to drive the outcasts away.

These homeless people looked at the guards' bright weapons, one by one they were also very scared, and did not dare to approach the city gate easily, but they did not really disperse, and they gathered together with their own villages and townsmen, and did not dare to make noise, but quietly looked at the tall city wall, trying to see the prosperity of Beijing through the city gate.

"What's going on?"

The car door of Emperor Hongzhi and his entourage stopped at the city gate, and Emperor Hongzhi also hurriedly asked Xiao Jing.

"Your Majesty, wait a minute, I'll go over and ask."

Xiao Jing didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly came to the city gate to guard here, showing a sign, and the other party immediately became extremely respectful, and truthfully told everything that happened here.

"Back to Your Majesty, I have already asked clearly, there are hundreds of homeless people gathered here at the gate of the city, and no matter how the guards drive them away, they will not disperse."

"Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace, once these homeless people collide with the Holy Driver, then I will be to blame."

Xiao Jing came to the carriage of Emperor Hongzhi and replied very respectfully.

"Hundreds of homeless?"

When Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang heard this, they were all startled.

They are not unaware of the fact that there are displaced people coming to Beijing City this winter, and there will be more or less displaced people coming to Beijing City every winter, but they did not expect that there are hundreds of displaced people gathered here just at the gate of this Xibian Gate, which is a bit scary.

"I'll go over and take a look~"

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't sit still, walked out of the carriage, and came to the city gate under the strict protection of the guards.

The outcasts were thinly dressed and very tattered, unkempt and skinny, and when the cold wind blew, they all shivered, as if they were crumbling, and their eyes bulged out with the light of hunger.

These homeless people are old and young, the old ones have gray hair, and the few are just a small baby, still in swaddling clothes, at this time because of hunger, keep crying, the baby's mother because there is no food, no nutrition, there is no milk to feed the baby, can only keep coaxing, the eyes reveal despair.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were filled with tears, compared to the young sister he met at the gate of the Xishan coal store, these children among the homeless people in front of him are living a harder life, and it is difficult to say whether they can survive this moving day.

"Xiao Jing, you can ask people to buy some food and give them a full meal."

Emperor Hongzhi quickly returned to the carriage, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said to Xiao Jing after thinking about it.

"Yes~" Xiao Jing replied respectfully, then thought about it and asked, "Then are we going to Xishan?" ”

"Go, of course."

Emperor Hongzhi was in a very bad mood, the moment he saw these homeless people, he knew that he was actually a failure as an emperor, what Hongzhongxing, what was comparable to Tang Dynasty and Song Zu, these were just used by his ministers to pat themselves on the back, if you ask these homeless people, it is estimated that they will point to their noses and scold themselves as dog emperors.

Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang also saw that Emperor Hongzhi was in a very bad mood, and they were silent all the way.

Let people organize the porridge, and then let the guards disperse and there will be nothing, can these homeless people still be able to turn around, as long as spring arrives and the weather warms up, these homeless people will naturally disappear.

Everyone came to the West Mountain in silence all the way, and when they came to the West Mountain, Emperor Hongzhi's mood was slightly better, because the entire West Mountain was very busy and a thriving scene.

Soon, Emperor Hongzhi found Liu Jin, at this time Liu Jin was designing a four-wheeled carriage, doing and doing is always something less, there is a detailed four-wheeled carriage tutorial in the system, but Liu Jin is reluctant to integrate, so he also wants to rely on the knowledge he learned in later generations, and wants to find out.

"Mr. Zhu is here, it doesn't seem to be in a very good mood?"

The arrival of Emperor Hongzhi and his entourage, Liu Jin also behaved very ordinarily, anyway, since you don't disclose your identity, I will treat you as an ordinary person, lest you have to kneel around, and you must pay attention to the wording when you speak.

Looking at Emperor Hongzhi's black face, Liu Jin also knew that Emperor Hongzhi's mood should not be too good.

"Well, it's really a bad mood, when I just went out of the city gate, I saw a lot of homeless people, these homeless people are really miserable one by one, there is a baby who is hungry and keeps crying..."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jin, and he didn't know why, he suddenly felt that Liu Jin might have a way to help these homeless people, so he also told what he saw, and when he talked about the back, he couldn't help choking.

He is the emperor, and he can help these hundreds of homeless people survive this winter, but he is the emperor of the whole world, and the things he considers are also related to the entire Ming Dynasty, and he has helped these hundreds of homeless people, what if there are more people in this world?

"This is easy to do, we can work for relief, and I am about to discuss this with you~"

When Liu Jin heard it, he thought it was something, and said it almost without thinking.
