Chapter 336: The Disappeared Landlords and Aristocrats
Wang Junlin and Xu Jingzong temporarily stayed in the Assassin's Mansion.
Wang Tong did his best and personally placed Wang Junlin and Xu Jingzong in the east wing of the backyard of the Assassin's Mansion, and then ignored the rules of officialdom, and went to arrange the construction of a refugee camp for refugees outside the city after complaining about the crime
In the guest room, Xu Jingzong frowned and pondered, and sighed sadly.
Wang Junlin frowned, staring at what he was thinking. Wang Junlin knew that he was in trouble now, a big trouble.
The situation that is not optimistic makes the two of them feel like they are pressing a heavy stone in their hearts, and they are a little depressed. If the current predicament cannot be resolved, the consequences will be unimaginable for Wang Junlin.
He will either lose his title, official position, everything, and then die in the world, or he will be forced to die by the other party.
"Master Hou, what should we do? Where can we get so much food for the refugees? Xu Jingzong sighed faintly.
Wang Junlin smiled bitterly: "You ask me, who do I ask?" It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and no matter how big her ability is, she can't turn it into food......"
"Could it be that watching Hou Ye being calculated by the other party is not to say, and letting so many people starve to death?"
Wang Junlin sighed and said, "Fortunately, the official warehouse can still support it for ten days, and within these ten days, we will finally think of a way......

The cold winter is not far away, the warm spring has not arrived, this year's climate is in such a stage that is not embarrassing or embarrassing, the evil thing is that this stage has been maintained for a long time, which is also the main reason for the disaster in the three counties in the north of Yongzhou in the Great Sui today.
Since ancient times, natural disasters have always been accompanied by man-made disasters, and when natural disasters arrive, man-made disasters immediately emerge, which has almost formed a historical law. There are always people who take advantage of natural disasters to incite demagoguery, all kinds of rumors and rumors are flying all over the sky, and the burden of the government is in vain.
The situation is the same today, but the victims of the rumors are no longer the court and the emperor, but his king, and it is a matter of life and death.
However, food is always a big problem at the moment, very tricky and troublesome.
Wang Tong and Xu Jingzong couldn't think of a way, Wang Junlin was helpless for the time being, and no matter how capable people were, there was no way to face tens of thousands of mouths waiting to be fed. The kind of person who shakes the goose feather fan and pats his head and comes up with a way to feed the people, this kind of person either opens a cheating plug-in, such as bringing a system or something, or dies relatively early, and does not live to slap God in the face.
And although Wang Junlin has created a lot of miracles since he came to this era, in the final analysis, he is just an ordinary person, maybe a little more knowledge and foreknowledge than others, but this ability can't help him make food.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, there was a sudden rush outside Jincheng, and the officials instructed the displaced people to start building tents on the plain outside the city.
According to Wang Junlin's instructions, the tent was strictly partitioned, and each area was well organized and distinct for living, dining, toileting, isolation, etc.
Seeing the government soldiers and guards divide the tent area into several pieces, the refugees couldn't help but feel strange, many refugees couldn't help but run to ask the officials, but the officials only carried out the orders, where did they know what was going on, so the refugees were confused, thinking of help, all kinds of speculations were in the dust, but there was no agreement, there was no accurate statement.
In the evening, the tent was only built a frame, and when night was about to fall, the temperature was also in vain, and many old people, women and children were shivering in the cold wind, and Wang Tong, who had been directing the construction project outside the city, immediately ordered people to build dozens of bonfires in the leeward hills, and tens of thousands of refugees had gathered here to form a circle around the bonfire, snuggling up to each other for warmth.
At the same time, the few 1,500 stone grain in Jincheng was moved out of the official warehouse, and the men who had already prepared set up the stove and the iron pot, and the golden old rice was poured into the pot with a bang, and a pot of water was added to it, and the fire boiled for half an hour.
The people around the campfire stared at the steaming iron pot, swallowing their saliva incessantly, the hunger in their eyes and the extreme longing in one piece, and the saliva gurgled one after another.
In the eyes of everyone's extreme anticipation, a famous man unveiled the iron pot at the same time, the porridge was full of fragrance, and the crowd was happy.
Refugees with their families carry their luggage, and the most indispensable thing in the luggage is the guy who eats, so they take out the pottery bowls one by one, whether new or old or broken.
Under the strict management of the officials, no one dared to fight, and no one rushed up, everyone held a pottery bowl, consciously lined up, and dozens of winding and orderly long queues were quickly discharged on the empty plain, moving forward slowly and quietly.
At this time, these refugees have actually forgotten the rumor for a while, and if they have always had food, they can forget about the rumor forever.
Wang Junlin and Xu Jingzong pretended to be Wang Tong's entourage, watching dozens of teams move, and unconsciously Wang Junlin showed a faint smile and mockery.
Sure enough, as long as there is food, these refugees can be stabilized, which is why their enemies can easily use food as a bargaining chip to make these refugees believe the rumors, creating a national 'smear' of his king's landing.
It is a pity that this kind of stability is only "temporary", and the grain in the official warehouse in Jincheng is only enough for the people in front of them to eat for ten days, or less, and as long as the news of the state government's distribution of relief grain spreads, the people who hear the wind will only come more and more, but the food in the official warehouse will only become less and less, and more and more insufficient to eat.
There was not much time left for Wang Junlin to raise food, and it was very urgent.
"If the people can eat fragrant rice porridge every day, this natural disaster can not only be resolved invisibly, but the other party's plan to secretly plot against the Hou Ye will also be self-defeating." Xu Jingzong sighed.
"Okay, the plan for now ......" Wang Junlin said indifferently: "I can only borrow grain from the rich landlords of Jincheng County." β
"Master Hou, I heard that the landlords, rich families and nobles outside Jincheng have all run out, and the ten rooms are empty, where can we find them? Even if they did, wouldn't they lend us food? Xu Jingzong said with a sad face.
Wang Junlin said in a cold voice: "I can't borrow the text, so I have to be a military general, or a toast without eating and drinking." β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The rich landlord is really hard to find, Wang Tong sent a large number of people, Wang Junlin asked Shen Guang to also send a lot of secret agents, but for two days in a row, but not a single landlord was found, and the houses of those rich families were either burned to the ground, or they were empty and not even a dog could be seen.
Wang Junlin had already been mentally prepared, in the year of the catastrophe, people's hearts were unstable, as landlords, rich families and nobles who were red in everyone's eyes, of course, they would not be stupid enough to stay at home and wait to be robbed and killed, as early as the end of the year when the wind was not in the right direction.
However, under normal circumstances, all wealthy landlords and nobles would move their families into the city for refuge. But the strange thing is that this time less than one-tenth of the landlords, wealthy families and nobles took refuge in the city, and the remaining nine-tenths took their families with them, and they didn't know where to hide.
