Ye Xuan said that the situation in Jizhou was very bad, but he had already started to think of a way, and this time they had borrowed some grain from the surrounding area should be enough to resist for a while.

Listening to Mu Yan's question, the woman shook her head: "We have been coming out of Jizhou for almost a month, and we want to ask for some things along the way, and we can live a little longer." ”

In other words, when Yexuan arrived, these people had already left Jizhou and did not ask for anything, and it seems that the officials along the road did not do anything and did not open a porridge factory to give alms.

This time, Mu Yan came to Jizhou to be out of order, so there was no way to do something with great fanfare, but if he wanted to open a porridge factory to give alms, he must get the consent of the government.

But at this moment, he can't directly give this woman food or money, there are so many victims along the way, if he gives her this way, he is afraid that he will have to send it all the way.

Mu Yan pondered for a while and said, "Tomorrow at noon, there will be a porridge factory in the town in front of you to give alms, and you will go together then." ”

After that, he drove away directly, and the guards behind him also followed, although the woman had some faint complaints in her heart, but she was more grateful, after all, he also understood that Mu Yan gave her some money now, and she couldn't buy food, but if she gave herself food, I was afraid that she would be robbed by the people around her before she could eat.

Seeing Mu Yan and his party driving away, the surrounding people immediately gathered around and whispered, although they didn't come close just now, they still heard Mu Yan's words about opening a porridge factory.

A few people gradually walked away, and Yuan Qing rode a horse to follow Mu Yan, and said, "Master, do you really want to open a porridge factory in the town tomorrow?" ”

They told Jiang Chen that he was going to return to the barbarian land on the frontier, but at this time he came to Jizhou, I am afraid that Jiang Chen will suspect his intentions, if he thinks that he has some collusion with Ye Xuan, it will be troublesome.

Mu Yan nodded: "Right now, the lives of these refugees are more important, let's settle them down first." When you get to the town, you will immediately send someone to deliver a message to Yexuan, anyway, it is not far from Jizhou at this moment, it is about half a day's journey.

Go and tell him to give alms here in his name first, and a few of us will probably arrive in Jizhou the day after tomorrow, and give alms for a day tomorrow to see if there is any news from his side. ”

"Yes."

Yuan Qing answered, Mu Yan hesitated for a moment and suddenly spoke again: "Just in case, you should go in person!" ”

Others Mu Yan is really a little worried, although this matter of spreading the word is not difficult, but it is not a trivial matter. Moreover, he has not received any news from Yexuan on the road in the past few days, and he is afraid that something has happened in Jizhou.

Yuanqing opened his mouth to answer, and the group walked a short distance forward, and then entered the town, on the contrary, there were not as many refugees here as there were when they were on the road, Mu Yan was puzzled but did not say much, for now, it is better to find a place to live first.

It's much more than in Jixian County, after all, it's a town, so there are a lot of inns, which is diametrically opposed to the scene of meeting refugees on the road just now.

Mu Yan took a closer look, and this time he found an inn that looked good from the outside, although he had also suffered a lot in the frontier in the past few years, but the food in the inn in Jixian County before was indeed a little worse.

But think about it, there is only that inn there, but Xiao Er is still standing at the door waiting to attract guests, if this inn is good, and the food inside is good, then there is no need to solicit, people will naturally go.

Mu Yan picked Jiang Liyue off the horse, and the other guards pulled the horses to feed, while Mu Yan and Jiang Liyue walked into the inn. Seeing them come in, Xiao Er greeted him with a smile: "Yo, you two are outsiders, you are here to stay in a hotel?" Or are you eating? ”

He smiled politely, Mu Yan nodded: "Since you are a foreigner, it must be a hotel and a meal, there are many people in our group, do you still have a place here?" ”

"Yes, yes, please!" Xiao Er shook the rag in his hand, opened his legs in front of him and began to walk in front of everyone, this finally came so many guests, even if there was no place, he would definitely find a place for them.

Finally arranged them, the shopkeeper was about to leave, Mu Yan suddenly grabbed him, and then he stuffed a certain amount of broken silver into his hand, the shopkeeper was not polite, directly stuffed the money into his sleeve, and then looked at Mu Yan with a smile: "The guest officer has something to inquire?" ”

"Exactly." Mu Yan nodded and said, "I just wanted to ask you, just now along the road, I saw that there were a lot of disaster victims on the road, why did there be fewer people in this town?" ”

Listening to his words, the shopkeeper looked left and right, his expression was a little sneaky, and he saw that there was no one else around, and then he approached Ye Tian, covered his mouth with his hand and whispered: "Alas, this matter is logically impossible to mention to you easily, but since you asked, I can't hide it." ”

Mu Yan took out a silver ingot from the money bag and stuffed it into his hand: "What's the inside story, you come quickly." ”

To be honest, if Mu Yan revealed his identity, this person would not dare not say it, but in that case, what he said was not necessarily the truth.

The shopkeeper in this inn doesn't know how many people he has seen in a day, so he wants to find out the news, this gambling house, the green building, and the inn are the three best places.

Seeing that Mu Yan was so generous, where did the shopkeeper still have a reason to hide, he opened his mouth and said slowly: "Actually, the famine in Jizhou has broken out, and it has been almost half a year, but it has been pressed by others all the time, and it has not been played." ”

"What little half a year?"

Isn't it true that famine began to break out in the summer?

Mu Yan frowned, there were many floods in Jizhou in summer, and there were often waterlogging, even if there was no such waterlogging in previous years, there were clear regulations on it. In the summer, the government must subsidize a certain amount of food for the people of each household.

I haven't heard of a waterlogging in Jizhou this year, so the harvest should be good, with its own harvest, plus the government's subsidies, even if it snows a few times in a row, there will definitely not be such a big famine.

Looking at Mu Yan's face full of questions, Xiao Er continued to speak: "But isn't it? So, those people have been begging along the road since a few months ago. You said that this was just the beginning, and our inn could still give us some food, but after a long time, there were many people, and gradually I couldn't afford it.

So these victims went farther and farther, and it wasn't the bullshit government inaction, I think they swallowed the things that needed to be subsidized to the people themselves, filling their own pockets, isn't it the case that officials have been like this since ancient times? ”

This Xiao Er said, his expression was still a little indignant, listening to his words Mu Yan and their hearts were cold, not because they were from the government, they were angry when they heard this person scolding at the moment, because they didn't expect that this matter would be implicated in the government.

"Do you mean that the government has not distributed a single grain since the summer?" Mu Yan's expression became a little serious, if this was true, then things would not be so simple.

Seeing that Yiyitian's expression was very serious, the shopkeeper squinted his eyes and shook his head: "Hey, I won't tell you, I listened to those refugees who escaped." But they don't have to lie, right? If the family had surplus food, how could they beg along the road! ”

Although the second child of this shop has no culture, what he can say is also somewhat reasonable, indeed, if the government distributes grain in the summer, and the harvest is good this summer, it can more or less survive a winter.

If there is food at home, these people will naturally not come out to beg, but if the government does not distribute food, then where does that food go? And why doesn't anyone go to school?

For a while, all kinds of questions rushed into Mu Yan's mind, and Jiang Liyue waved her hand at the shopkeeper when she saw this: "Okay, there's nothing for you here, let's go and serve the food." ”

"Hey, then you guys, eat slowly!"

The shopkeeper shook off his rag again and then left with brisk steps, but he didn't expect that Jizhou was only half a day's journey from this Le'an Town, why didn't the famine in Jizhou come here at all?

Jiang Liyue patted Mu Yan's hand, and his brows relaxed a little, "Yan Lang, let's eat now, don't think about these things, didn't Yuanqing already set off for Jizhou?" The answer will be known when he returns. ”

There have been too many things in recent days, Jiang Liyue is afraid that Mu Yan's body is not good because of the backlog of so many things, if he is also sick at this time, it will not be so convenient to treat.

Mu Yan smiled at Jiang Liyue, he was just worried, and now he wanted Jiang Liyue to accompany him to be frightened, Mu Yan didn't want to do this.

Soon the food came up, compared with the inn in Jixian County, the things here can be called delicacies, and the guards ate them one by one, and even Zhao Qiaoyin unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

But it was Mu Yan who changed the good food, but his appetite was not very good, he hastily ate a few bites and went back to the room, Jiang Liyue shook his head when he saw this, he went to the counter and asked Xiao Er for two pastries, and asked him to send them to the room in an hour.

Mu Yan only ate a few bites, although he won't be hungry now, but it won't be necessary after half an hour, and after explaining the matter, Jiang Liyue went upstairs.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Mu Yan didn't raise his head, he didn't have to think about it, it must have been Jiang Liyue who came in, and when he saw him sitting there alone, he shook his head helplessly.

"Yan Lang, you are delaying your body again for the sake of miscellaneous things on the side." Although Jiang Liyue's tone was with a hint of blame, her eyes were even more distressed.

Mu Yan shook his head: "I'm not in the mood, I can't eat." ”
