"Guys, you can't go in!"

Tang Jun stood up and stopped them from entering.

"Get out of here!"

Cheng Zhisi pushed away the Tang soldiers who were blocking in front of him, and his face was calm.

Most of these emaciated men were old, and most of them were women, and they were hungry with their children and their equipment. Because of malnutrition, these children are also short and stunted, just like dwarfs.

Their eyes flashed with greed, with a hint of madness, if it weren't for the strong Cheng Zhihei standing beside them, the last shred of reason repeatedly reminded them that hunger almost made them go crazy!

Li Chengqian browsed the hungry people one by one, as if a picture of many ghosts unfolded in front of him, and the further he walked down the street, the more silent Li Chengqian became, and the trembling in his heart became stronger and stronger!

His heart was extremely heavy!

These are the people of the Tang Dynasty!

Ye Huan was not like Li Chengqian, his eyes carefully looked at the bowls that were thrown casually on the side of the street, and silently followed behind Li Chengqian.

Li Tai stared at these hungry people with wide eyes, as if looking at something new that he had never seen before.

Although there is sympathy in Cheng's eyes, it is more of a defense, these people look at them with bad eyes, last time he didn't protect Li Chengqian, this time there is no room for mistakes!

The deeper you go down the street, the more hungry people gather, and the more shocking the sight becomes!

It was a dead end, and the entire street was guarded by only the soldiers.

All the hungry people in Lanzhou City were driven here, and the soldiers guarded them and did not allow them to enter and exit, which caused few people to beg for food on the streets.

"Why would you want to do that?" Ye Huan thought wistfully, and then asked and answered himself, "It's for others to see." ”

"Who is it?"

"Prince? No, it's for the saint Li Shimin! Ye Huan thought deeper.

Li Chengqian is not a fool, on the contrary, he is an extremely thorough person, and immediately glanced at Ye Huan, and each could see the shock and heaviness in each other's eyes.

Fictional well-being? What is the picture? Let Li Shimin feel at ease? Or the performance of Lanzhou city officials?

I don't know, even Ye Huan can't see through it for a while!

At this time, the scene in front of them made Ye Huan and Li Chengqian's hearts jump in horror, and five or six-year-old children were placed in the front row, selling them like goods!

Ye Huan was messy, looking at this scene with a cold eye, in this era, human life is like mustard, worthless!

Five copper plates for a boy!

The girl doesn't want money at all, give it to you! You want you to be able to feed her!

This group of pampered princes and young masters, looking at the scene in front of them, suddenly didn't know what to think in their hearts, only sadness continued to torture them!

A dying old man pulled Ye Huan with his hand at this time, he only hung with one breath, and said with chapped lips: "My granddaughter, save her life!" Please save her life! He said in horror, "I'm dead!" Without anyone to protect her, she will be eaten by others! ”

The old man's muddy tears flowed down: "I can't do it, please take my corpse out too, I want to keep a whole corpse." ”

The old man's words were fluttering, but the finch instantly made Ye Huan's feet numb, his legs and stomach trembled, and his backbone was cold!

He was breathless, and beside him was a thin girl of five or six years old, looking at them ignorantly, her eyes as pure as black jewels.

Ye Huan suddenly couldn't lift his feet, Li Chengqian's forehead was covered with cold sweat, this is only the middle of the street, what about the last section?

They dare not imagine!

Ye Huan picked up the girl and left without looking back, he couldn't continue to take this place with him, an inexplicable sense of guilt filled his heart, his thoughts were very chaotic, which he had never had before.

Li Chengqian is the same, his heart is uncomfortable like being constantly hit by a hammer.

"Why is this happening? Why is this happening! Li Chengqian muttered to himself, and as he spoke, he slammed the wooden pillar hard, and he didn't care about the blood that came out of his right hand.

When leaving the street, Li Chengqian's heart changed from silence to incomparably angry, Li Tai was amazed by Fang Cai's experience, Cheng Chuji carried the old man's corpse on his back, still expressing sympathy, and Ye Huan continued to be silent.

"Bartender, bartender! Give me a bun! ”

They returned to Fang Cai's tavern, but it was the shopkeeper who sweated and came out to promise and took a bun to Ye Huan.

"Take it and eat it." Ye Huan broke the bun in half and handed only half to the little girl.

"You ......" Qingque was interrupted by Ye Huan as soon as she spoke, "If you are so hungry, give her more food to eat, if you don't feel full, you will be strangled to death!" ”

"Cheng Qian, order that Lanzhou city official to be beheaded!" Cheng Chusi clenched his fists, "There are such a large number of hungry people in the city, it can be seen that they have not done practical things at all!" ”

"There's no hurry."

Li Chengqian had never been so angry in his heart, and even so, they couldn't kill people indiscriminately, so Li Chengqian planned to listen to how the city officials explained.

About half an hour later, Wang Fengmao, the official of Lanzhou City, arrived, with a chubby figure, big shoulders and a round waist, and his face was almost integrated with his neck.

He seemed to be trotting over, his face was full of greasy man, and when he saw Li Chengqian, he immediately knelt down and said: "The prince came to Lanzhou City to experience, and the ministers have lost their welcome, please forgive your sins!" ”

The scholar is angry and angry, not to mention Li Chengqian, who has some imperial domineering in his demeanor.

He snorted indignantly and asked Wang Fengmao: "Forgiveness? Is it forgiveness for your dereliction of duty, or for being late? ”

"I ask you! Why don't you open a warehouse for the hungry people in Lanzhou to help the people? ”

Wang Fengmao's complexion immediately changed, and he said with a sad face: "Prince, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the grain left behind in the granary of the Sui Dynasty has long been exhausted, and in recent years, it has been smooth. ”

After hearing this, Li Chengqian felt angry and slapped the table: "Don't you know that the world is difficult?" How can the people grow food with peace of mind? I'll let you open a warehouse to help the people, and it's just a temporary solution! If you don't have food, why are you fat and strong, and your face is full of oil?! ”

He immediately panicked, and the flesh on his fat face trembled.

"That's the food in the army! General Cheng is stationed here, and the food and clothing of the army are all there, and the ministers dare not move a bit! Wang Fengmao said earnestly, "Even if the grain is released and the warehouse is opened, the victims within a radius of hundreds or even hundreds of miles will come to hear the wind!" ”

"Prince, have you ever thought about what will happen if you run out of food? With so many mouths, this little food alone is never enough! ”

"On the one hand, if the army has no food, it has no combat effectiveness! On the other hand, the hungry people must be angry because of the lack of food, and such a large group of people have gathered together! How can Lanzhou City resist it? How can Kannai resist it? Kyoto Chang'an is close to each other, and they can drive straight into Chang'an and force the troops to Chang'an! ”

"Have you thought of what the consequences will be?"

Li Chengqian was asked by Wang Fengmao at this time, and he didn't know how to answer, and after half a ring, Li Chengqian said again: "But the palace has already eaten and clothed the festival, and the silver saved is dedicated to helping the people!" Where did all that silver go? ”

"Could it be that you swallowed it privately?!"

Wang Fengmao's face changed drastically, and he kept kowtowing and said: "Even if you give the minister a hundred dares, you don't dare!" He hesitated at this time, not knowing whether to say it or not, and finally sighed, "Prince, that silver is still a drop in the bucket, minister...... I used it to sell chaff for my own assertions! ”

"Bran!" Li Chengqian's hands trembled angrily, "That's something for animals!" ”
