Chapter 121 "Setting Up a Porridge Shack"

As the gate of Pingcheng was opened, a vehicle full of grain and rice slowly came out of the city. Prior to this, Hu Guyue and several disciples of the Holy Gate of Medicine had arrived outside the city, and behind them were groups of disaster victims, at this time, everyone craned their necks to look at the city gate, and as soon as the car drove out of Pingcheng, a burst of cheers suddenly came out of the crowd.

"Is that really food......

"There is salvation, there is salvation, we can finally not starve to death......"

"These are the people of the Twin Holy Gates......"

"Mother, I'm hungry ......"

Xiao Xinyi approached the crowd and heard a whisper and a pair of surprised eyes, she jumped down from her horse to look at the terrain, beckoned a few disciples and said, "The front piece of land is good, suitable for setting up a porridge shed, you guys will settle a room there." ”

"Yes, Senior Sister."

After Xiao Xinyi helped a few people set up the porridge shed, Feng Jingying also led a few people to build a room in another place. From the beginning to the end, the victims just huddled together and watched them go about their work, and a few of them dared to come up and help, but after looking at their clean and tidy clothes and at themselves, they bowed their heads and retreated.

"This old man, we didn't bring much firewood this time, I don't know if we can trouble the old man to bring a few people to pick up some firewood."

Just as an old man was about to retreat into the crowd, he heard a voice from behind. He looked back suddenly, and saw a white-clothed woman with bright eyes and bright teeth standing not far behind him looking at him with a smile.

The old man hesitated for a moment and pointed to himself, "The girl is talking to me." ”

"Exactly, I don't know if the old man is willing to help."

"Yes, of course yes, girl, please wait a moment, I'll be right away." After the old man finished speaking, he walked a few steps and shouted at the crowd: "Ergouzi, Tie Niu, Black Egg, you go with me to collect firewood." ”

The three thin teenagers in the crowd crossed the crowd and instantly rushed to the old man, and after the four of them said a few words, they walked towards the distant woods, followed by a few others who volunteered to go together.

Xiao Xinyi went to the crowd again to find a woman who seemed to be in good spirits and asked her to help build the stove, and the woman nodded happily.

After a short time, almost all the people who could move the disaster gathered around the disciples of the Double Holy Gate, and even if they couldn't get their hands on, they could still give advice on the side, such as how to build this stove so that it could save firewood and prosper fire, and how to build this porridge shed to block the wind and be strong. With the help of the victims, the two porridge sheds were quickly cleaned up and they were ready to make a fire to cook porridge. The victims of the disaster and the disciples of the Double Holy Gate fetched water, and lit fires, a busy but warm and harmonious picture.

There are three cauldrons outside each porridge shed, which are rented from the Pingcheng County Guard, and the reason why the rent is used is because the Pingcheng County Guard said that the victims outside the city are not from Pingcheng, and he, as the Pingcheng County Guard, has no responsibility to be responsible for people outside Pingcheng, so if you want to use the pot, you must first get the rent. Feng Jingying sneered again and again, and sent it to the county guard along with the commercial tax for setting up the porridge shack.

The ministers of the court can't be the lord at the top, and the people are beneficial, the corpse is vegetarian, the flies are camping and the dogs are poor, how can the country be ashamed.

The six cauldrons finally emerged in the limelight, and all the victims lined up under the command of the disciples of the Double Holy Gate to serve porridge one by one.

Xiao Xinyi looked at the six long teams and frowned, as the weather gradually cooled, the disaster situation in various places has not improved at all, August and September is the season of fruitful harvest of all things, but most of the fruit trees and fields in Anye have been no longer harvested. After the winter, there will only be more and more victims, but they have limited food in their hands, and they only hope that the imperial court can properly resettle these victims after the collection of grain taxes and spend this year's cold winter safely.

Qin Youyou leaned over to Xiao Xinyi and whispered: "Sister, can you put more rice in the porridge next time, I think the porridge is too thin, and they can't eat at all." ”

"Yoyo, we don't have much food, and there are still many victims outside Pingcheng who have nothing to eat, all we can do now is to save their lives, and we can't make them puff up."

There is another sentence that Xiao Xinyi did not say to the simple-minded Qin Youyou, fighting rice to raise grace, and stone rice to raise hatred.

If we take out all the grain and rice now and let everyone have a full stomach, when they don't have enough food and rice, some people will complain and be dissatisfied, and they will forget that the rice they eat is something that others have worked hard to help them tide over the difficulties, and then some people will embarrass them in order to get more food and rice, and even more will feel that they are doing things unfairly and will turn to riots.

Qin Youyou sighed "oh" and sighed: "When will this natural disaster pass, I heard nonsense that it hasn't rained in the northwest yet, and the cracks in the land can be planted with trees." ”

"It will pass, and there are already proposals in the court to divert the water from the south to the northwest."

"Great, sister, this can solve both the flood in the south and the drought in the northwest, killing two birds with one stone."

"So what we need to do now is to reassure these people who have left their homes, and when the disaster is eased, they can return to their homeland."

Xiao Xinyi comforted Qin Youyou on his lips, but he was confused in his heart, such a big project, not only to spend time planning the route, but also to invest a lot of manpower and financial resources, now all the forces of the imperial court are focused on suppressing the victims, I don't know if the proposal to dig a canal to divert water has been adopted. While the two were talking, they saw a purple figure standing next to the porridge shed, and when they were about to step forward, they saw Hu Guyue patting her shoulder from behind, and Leng Moyan quickly turned around to look over.

"Leng Moyan, what have you been doing lately, why don't you go to play with us?" Hu Guyue looked at her with a smile and asked.

"I don't know what the junior brother has to teach me."

Hu Guyue's eyes were already not small, and after hearing this indifferent and detached words, her eyes widened: "Leng Moyan, did you take the wrong medicine after you had a fever and were confused?" ”

"I still have something to do, if my junior brother is okay, I'll leave first."

Leng Moyan nodded to him and then turned around and left. Hu Guyue, who left a smile on her face, was messy in place. It took a long time for Hu Guyue to come back to her senses after Leng Moyan left, and when she turned around, she saw Xiao Xinyi and Qin Youyou looking at him, "Senior sister, what's wrong with Leng Moyan." Hu Guyue asked with a bitter face.

"Xu is in a bad mood." Xiao Xinyi replied with a calm face.

It's just that Xiao Xinyi and none of them would have thought that Leng Moyan is ready to draw a line with them now.

Although there are not many grains of rice in the porridge, even the soup with rice makes the intestines of these victims who have been hungry for many days full of stomachs. Seeing that these people were in good spirits after eating, Feng Jingying and Xiao Xinyi arranged for the disciples of the Double Holy Gate to help the victims set up tents outside Pingcheng City, so that these people could have a place to live for the time being, and they no longer had to sleep in the wind and sand with dew.
