Eleven years of great cause, deep winter.

Heavy snow fell over the vast territory of the frozen northern country, and goose feather-like flakes covered the land, villages, towns, and castles with a thick layer of snow-white clothing.

It was nearly a cold winter, thousands of miles of ice, and thousands of miles of snow drifting. At nightfall, the bitter north wind swept up the earth and froze all living things.

This demonic weather does not allow any breathing species to show the breath of life in front of it. It is better to be as dead and silent as the earth, so as to show the silence and silence of winter.

In Jinyang City, all the temples, Taoist temples, school houses and even the government halls are all crowded with ragged fleeing and hungry people.

In this cold winter of ice and snow, they huddled together and snuggled up to each other for warmth. It's just that because of the unbearable hunger in my belly, I often can't sleep all night.

Fortunately, Li Yuan, the left-behind lord of Jinyang City, was kind and kind, so that they would at least have a place to take refuge in this extremely cold Rakshasa weather.

Since a large number of refugees came to the city, Li Yuan has been busy all day. He first ordered people to set up porridge factories to feed the hungry people, and then searched everywhere and requisitioned clothes and firewood for keeping out the cold, and then summoned all the Langzhong in the city to treat the refugees, and also called on the big families, merchants, and workshops in the city to solve the livelihood problems for some of the refugees......

The refugees praised Li Yuan as a bodhisattva in the world, and the Buddha appeared and gave them a chance to be reborn.

Li Yuan couldn't afford such a big promise, he replied that he had just fulfilled his duties as an official, and as a parent official, how could he watch the people starve to death.

Since then, the name of Li Yuanrende has spread far and wide, and hungry people from thousands of miles away and from all directions have rushed to Jinyang City......

Looking at the influx of refugees, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel sad. Where to find so much food to keep these hungry people alive? Besides, how can Jinyang City accommodate so many refugees?

Li Yuan thought about it, but he was still at a loss!

The refugees are still fighting like wolves for food, and they have only a glimmer of hope of survival.

It was Li Yuan who opened a skylight for them, so they couldn't take care of it much, a bowl of hot porridge could let them survive this cold winter and save their lives, so they could be satisfied.

How could Li Yuan have thought that the world would be so difficult? The food gap is getting bigger and bigger, and Li Yuan sent people to collect grain everywhere, but it is still a drop in the bucket. He tried every means to find food, but he couldn't stop nearly 100,000 mouths waiting to be fed.

At this time, he thought of his old friend Hechi Taishou Xiao Yu, and heard that the disaster in Longxi could be lighter, so he sent a special envoy to borrow food from Xiao Yu.

Unexpectedly, the grain was not borrowed, and the messenger only brought back a handwritten letter from Xiao Yu - Yu Dun's first Tang Gong's foot: unharmed, fortunately! Tang Gong has both benevolence and bravery, only to be born for the world, abandon the community in thousands of miles, and attract hungry people in the near future. With the talent of the public, it is not the source of the truth, but it is a pity to follow the benevolence of women! In the land of the river, the people are in exile, and one of the ten rooms is saved; If there is no surplus grain for ploughing cattle and grains, where can there be surplus grain? With the virtue of Tang Gong, he should rise up and correct the society, this is the fundamental way!

After Li Yuan finished reading, his brows furrowed, and he suddenly felt empty in his mind.

He has said to Emperor Yang Guang many times to ask for his life for the people and Kuang Zheng Sheji, but Yang Guang just can't listen to it.

Li Yuan just said that there were many people in the world, so he was directly taken down by Yang Guang from the position of the central minister and asked him to come to the border city of Jinyang to serve as a guard.

Yang Guang hated the minister the most, saying that there were many people, and when he heard this, the lighter ones were exempted from the official and sent to prison, and the heavier ones were directly beheaded and questioned.

But the current situation and the situation in front of him made Li Yuan feel helpless. The inspection in the past few days made Li Yuan tremble, and more than 100 people died of freezing and starvation in one day.

The cold wind made the earth as hard as frozen pig iron, and the hungry people wanted to dig pits and bury their bodies, but there was no way. I had to find a deserted place and pile up piles of corpses, leaving them to be rigid, frozen, and buried in the snow. Wait until the beginning of spring next year......

When Li Yuan saw with his own eyes that the skinny hungry people cast expectant glances at him, he felt a deep sense of guilt from the bottom of his heart.

The fate of the people is up to heaven, and as a parent official, he sees the people dying in front of his eyes but is powerless to help. What kind of abuse is this?

The Buddha said, saving a person's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter! Is this a human life? That's tens of millions of lives.

No matter what, it's still important to save people!

Thinking of this, Li Yuan turned his heart sideways, and ordered Jinyang County to order Liu Wenjing to open the Jinyang warehouse, and secretly transported out a thousand stone of military rations at the third watch in the middle of the night.

You must know that according to the "Great Sui Law", it is a capital crime to use military rations privately, and Li Yuan's move has a lot to do with it.

Although the matter was kept secret, he was still stabbed in Jiangdu, and Emperor Yang Guang sent someone to ask people for questioning.

Thanks to the help of the victims, they deliberately blocked the way for the Chin Cha to come and go.

Li Yuan got off the donkey and put Liu Wenjing in prison to prevent him from suffering. He was willing to make meritorious service again, and he dealt with Qin Cha in this way, which can be regarded as a fluke.

It was easy, and by the beginning of April of the following year, the earth began to thaw. In the wilderness, snakes, rats, foxes and rabbits also ran out to explore the spring.

The hungry people dug pits to bury the bodies of their loved ones who did not survive the winter, and they began to have a mixed feeling of pain and gratitude for the city of Jinyang where they had taken refuge.

No matter what, Li Yuan, the left-behind adult, still did his best. They heard that some villagers had died on the way to flee with their entire families. Some died of lack of food, some of them of war, some of pestilence, and some of disease...... If you can pick up this life, what is there not to be satisfied with?

As the weather gradually warmed up, the hungry people understood the hardship of Li Yuan, the left-behind adult, so they left the city one after another and went to make a living.

The scattered exiles thought of Li Yuan's benevolence in their hearts, and already regarded Li Yuan as the benevolent lord in their hearts.

For the rest of their lives, if they can't repay it, it will be an eternal knot......
