"Starving!!"

Li Yun looked at the little girl in front of him, although she was wearing clean clothes, it was difficult to hide her thin body.

What Zhao Wanzhou told him was that the people were harmonious and had no worries about food and clothing, but now some people are starving to death? This shocked Li Yun.

"Zhao Wanzhou!!" Li Yun said angrily.

"The prince is angry, people in Yingzhou will starve to death every year, Rao is subordinate officials are more than satisfied, but their strength is insufficient, after all, they are not allowed to ensure that everyone can live, these are the helpless places of subordinate officials." Zhao Wanzhou said with trepidation.

Li Yun glared at him, not believing Zhao Wanzhou, so he immediately took two peaches from the carriage, handed them to the little girl, and asked, "Little girl, give you two peaches, can you answer me a few questions?" ”

The little girl looked at the two peaches, her saliva flowing, and she nodded again and again.

"How many children are there who can't eat like you?" Li Yun asked.

The little girl pointed to the claustrophobic alleys and alleys, and said immaturely, "There are a lot." ”

Li Yun nodded slightly, gave her a peach, and then asked, "Then can you take me to have a look?" Big brother has a lot of peaches here, which can be shared among them. ”

"Really?"

The little girl's eyes sparkled.

"Of course."

The little girl readily agreed, and was about to leave with Li Yun, after Zhao Wanzhou saw it, she hurriedly pulled Li Yun, and said in a panic: "Lord Wang, you can't go, these Diao people are too dangerous, if you go, there will definitely be danger." ”

"Just now, you didn't say that the people in the city were harmonious and prosperous, and now you said that it was dangerous? Zhao Wanzhou, do you really take this king as a fool? Li Yun said.

Zhao Wanzhou originally thought that he only needed to do some superficial work and send this prince who came to Beijing away, what could a group of pampered aristocratic sons do.

That's why I sent people to create a prosperous scene, so I sent people to disguise themselves as harmonious, but I didn't expect a little girl to suddenly appear.

And what he didn't expect was that His Royal Highness the Cloud King was not so easy to fool, and he had to break the casserole to ask to the end.

Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Zhao Wanzhou knelt on the ground and said, "Lord Wang, the lower official knows that he is wrong." ”

Li Yun snorted coldly: "Then you might as well recruit it truthfully?" ”

Zhao Wanzhou said helplessly: "Today's Yingzhou City has long been overwhelmed, the city lacks water and food, the people are difficult to eat, and they have launched riots many times, and the government has suppressed them for several months before they are reluctantly driven to the southwest of the city. ”

"No water, no food? Why don't you apply to your superiors to open a warehouse and release grain to help the people? Li Yun asked angrily.

"It's not that the lower officials didn't apply, but it's ......" Zhao Wanzhou said it all at this point, but he didn't dare to say any more.

"And what? Say!! Li Yun shouted.

Zhao Wanzhou said fearfully: "The granary of Henan Province is the prince's staff, and the lower officials are not attached to it, and they do not belong to any prince's subordinates, so many applications have been rejected." ”

Yingzhou is located in Henan Province, Zhao Wanzhou is the prefect of Yingzhou, and the people in the jurisdiction are hungry, and they have applied for opening warehouses and releasing grain many times, but to no avail.

Li Yun was furious in his heart when he heard this: "Bastard! It is a matter of human life, and even engaging in a struggle between party and henchmen, is simply nonsense. ”

"What His Royal Highness said is that the lower officials also feel powerless, who makes the heavenly prince not beautiful, and the people of Yingzhou can only consider themselves unlucky."

Zhao Wanzhou is not honest and honest, but he is also a corrupt official.

Li Yun was angry in his heart, the people take food as the sky, the people can't worry about it, so they will naturally rebel, and now Yingzhou is in great trouble, it should be supported by one party and all sides, but now, the partisan dispute between the princes and princes has affected the people.

Li Shuan is not a righteous man, but he is also a person who knows right from wrong, who is right and who is wrong, what should be done and what should not be done, he has a scale in his heart.

"I don't care about this in advance, since this king is here, I won't let the people of Yingzhou leave it alone, and this king will find a way to do it over there."

"The prince is lenient and benevolent, for the sake of the people, and the officials are ashamed." Zhao Wanzhou said.

"If you have good words, you will leave it until the matter is resolved, and you will first take this king to understand the real situation in Yingzhou."

At this point, Zhao Wanzhou didn't need to hide it anymore, he let all the disguised people on the street disperse, and followed the little girl to the alleys and alleys of Yingzhou.

The so-called prosperity is only the appearance, and the real cruelty is whitewashed by the beauty.

When he came to the alleys and alleys, Li Yun really saw the real situation, and what caught his eye was not the prosperity of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, but the cruel picture of starvation all over the wilderness.

In the darkness of the main street, the people were starving, and they fell to the ground with hunger, and they were full of mourning, which was a source of pity.

Where has Cheng Chumo seen this kind of picture, he is pampered on weekdays, but he has never seen the pain and unbearable suffering of the people at the bottom.

Even a heartless person like him felt inexplicably sour after seeing it.

Looking at the group of children who had no food, Li Yun said to Lin Qingzhu: "Qingzhu, give all the things in the car that can eat preserved fruits to the children." ”

Hungry who can't starve children, as the future of the empire, they have some priority.

Lin Qingzhu happily agreed and distributed all the things in the car to the children.

After coming to the slum, the scene was yellow, and Li Yun walked to the scene, and many people regarded him as an enemy.

"Dog officer, get out!"

Some people were suppressed by the government, and their relatives died at the hands of the government, and it was inevitable that they would hold a grudge.

Many people threw stones at Li Yun, Zhao Wanzhou sent someone forward, but was stopped by Li Yun and said: "Let them throw it, it is the court that is sorry for them, and it is understandable that the people are angry in their hearts." ”

Along the way, Li Yun and the officials and officials who accompanied him were covered in dirt and were beaten by many people.

Looking at the miserable scene on both sides of the road, the people were short of fruits, and the voices of wailing came and went, Li Yun felt indescribable in his heart that natural and man-made disasters could not be avoided by manpower.

And what they can do is to make up for the mistakes made by God as much as possible,

At dusk, Li Yun settled in the prefect's county office, and Zhao Wanzhou's banquet for Li Yun was removed, and the Yingzhou officials were reprimanded for extravagance and waste.

"Lord Wang, you have also seen that it is not that the lower officials are not doing things well, but that the situation in Yingzhou is more serious than you want."

Li Yun thought so, it was true, God sent drought and locust plague, almost cutting out the people's way of life.

Li Yun said: "I already know the general situation, and the best way to alleviate the disaster is to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people. ”

"But the granary of Henan Province doesn't put grain, where can we find so much grain?"

"If you don't have food, why not create your own?" Li Yun said.

"Make your own food?" Zhao Wanzhou said, "Does the prince have a way? ”

Li Yun was silent, and the corners of his mouth hooked a trace of arc.
