The lesser of two evils is the most rational choice for people, but obviously Li Yuanhao is wrong, he regards the status of the victims as lighter and less worth mentioning, and the result is that the government of Western Xia still levies a large amount of grain on the people, making the already unbalanced society even more unbalanced.

It also made many people realize that only by being a soldier could they have food, so more and more strong laborers entered the army, and the Western Xia society, which did not have much labor, became more and more difficult, let alone went to the fields to work and grow food.

Spring ploughing, summer cultivation, autumn harvest and winter storage, this is the rule set by nature, if the destruction will cause people unbearable consequences, and finally the disaster came, there was no natural disaster, the farmland was planted with food, but it was slightly destroyed by the Great Song Dynasty, and the Western Xia began to cause its own trouble.

Autumn was supposed to be the golden season, the season of harvest, but the Western Xia ushered in their disaster, the power of man-made disasters is extraordinary, sometimes even beyond the destruction brought by natural disasters to human beings.

July is also called the autumn moon, it is the first month of autumn, so it is also called the new autumn, in this season the melons and fruits are ripe, and the people also call it the melon moon. In this month that should have been busy and abnormal, there was a rare famine in Western Xia, and at the same time, a prince of Western Xia was born, he was the dragon son in the belly of the Wuzang clan, and Li Yuanhao happily named him Li Liangzuo.

Outside the palace, Xingqing Mansion ushered in a large number of victims, the number of people, far beyond the prediction of the officials of the Western Xia, the victims came from all over the Western Xia, and the people who fled the famine have a habit of going to a place with a lot of people, going to the emperor's place, maybe it will be good to get to the capital, maybe there will be a chance to live at the foot of the Son of Heaven......

Obviously, the emperor will not take care of these victims, the people who fled the famine are terrifying to the extent of frightening, and it is not a lie that the party warriors defending the city blocked the entrance to the city gate, and the huge city gate slowly closed in the sound of the machine.

They did not receive an order from the imperial court, but they had to do it, because at this time, the crowd outside Xingqing Mansion was like a sea, as far as the eye could see, this was Western Xia! This is the land of fertile land and thousands of acres of fertile land! How could there be so many victims?

If the city gate is opened, the crowd will soon fill the Xingqing Mansion, and when the time comes, I am afraid that even the city gate will not be closed, and the party warriors defending the city are trembling their legs when they see the victims, the eyes of these victims are glowing green, and their dry food is all kinds of daunting.

A small leg bone was left outside, and it could even be seen that it was a young child's leg bone, and there was not much meat left, and there were even more horrible things when the victims were roasting the meat......

From time to time, someone fell down hungry, and soon the things on his body disappeared completely, and a group of vicious dogs instantly turned into wolves and began to bite his body, this person was already powerless to resist, and his angry hand was just weakly waved twice and was bitten off by the vicious dog, and hung down weakly, while the surrounding victims looked at all this coldly, and after the person was completely killed, they swarmed up, and even the dogs and people tore clean......

This is not a group of people, this is a group of beasts, they only have this instinct to live without any scruples about the so-called human reason, at the beginning there were warriors on the city wall scolding, but soon such scolding was gone, and the hungry victims began to climb to the city wall, as if there was countless food behind this wall!

When the news reached Li Yuanhao's ears, his first reaction was not to believe it, and he looked at the visitor: "Do you want to die?" How could such a thing happen in my Western Xia? Food has already been planted this summer, and it was the same last year, so why are there so many victims this year? ”

The person who came trembled and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, more than 100 households in the city have been looted by these victims, and even ...... Even the corpse of the bitter lord was gnawed......"

Li Yuanhao was furious: "Then it's a kill!" How can it be reasonable, the murderer pays for his life, and such a trivial matter still has to be reported to me? The victims outside the city sent people to disperse, and if they were not executed as treasonous, I would not believe that their brains could be as hard as steel knives! ”

The fate of the little people was decided by the words of the superiors, and these victims, who believed that the emperor would help them, were greeted not with relief food, but with merciless horse whips, and cavalry appeared, and these who should have killed the enemy on the battlefield were waving their horse whips at their own people.

Only then did the victims realize that even at the feet of the Son of Heaven, they could not live, they had no food to eat, they had no life, and their last hope of survival was gone, and people were not people, but fierce beasts.

The whip was pulled, and the knight was dragged off his horse, and soon the armor on his body was gone, and the good armor was pulled off by the victims' hands when they dug it up, and then the "meal" began.

This terrifying scene made more and more cavalry throw themselves into it, and the horsewhip in their hands also turned into a sharp knife, the victims cried and roared, some of them fled and were pushed back by the waves, and some rushed to the war horses with despair, and for a time people neighed and the horses were chaotic.

The courtiers in the Xingqing Mansion saw this scene on the city wall, and many of them turned pale, which was something they had never seen before, and there seemed to be more victims in the distance on the horizon, which also made the capital of Western Xia crumble.

"Open a warehouse and put grain?!"

"How much grain is there in the country?!"

"If you can't do it, you can divert some ...... from the rations in the army"

"Are you trying to cause a mutiny in the army?!"

"But now there is really no way, we can't let these victims tear down the city walls, right? It's not impossible to see this posture, if the city is really broken, we won't be able to save our lives either! ”

Several old ministers quarreled and quarreled without a result, and did not hide Pang Pang said in a deep voice: "The current thing is to take out all the food that can be used, and appease these disaster victims, a little out of the army, the rich families in the city, the big clans, and the people out of a little bit, it should be enough for the time being, use a big pot, boil rice porridge, more water and less rice can be more or less stomach, as long as there is the porridge of the imperial court, the disaster victims will be appeased." ”

His words made everyone's eyes shine, yes! It is only right to solve this crisis in the present, and we will talk about it later! You can't let these victims tear down Xingqing Mansion, right?

Soon the porridge shed was erected, and the Xingqing Mansion was not small, using all the iron pots that could be requisitioned, and lined up around the Xingqing Mansion, and the grain was placed on the head of the city to be transported down from generation to generation, and if the disaster victims were impacted, the grain would be taken back.

He sent cavalry to warn the victims that if they dared to rush indiscriminately, they would not release a grain of food, and the victims themselves would maintain order, and if there was chaos, they would immediately kill the court and punish them!

Soon, as those thorns were beaten to death on the ground, no one dared to mess around, and the victims restored order, and at this time, Ning Lingge stepped forward and asked Wuzang Pang: "Is there no food in the palace?" ”

"Naturally, there is food in the palace, and there is a lot of it, but who dares to move it without His Majesty's will? Not to mention that there are many in the palace or in the imperial village, but the imperial village is more heavily defended than the palace......"

He didn't hide it from beginning to end, and he didn't urge Brother Ning Ling, but every sentence was telling him that it was time to do it......
