Wang Tong asked Wang Junlin to re-divide the guests and hosts to sit down in the living room, let people re-serve tea, and after waving off unrelated people, Wang Junlin immediately straightened his waist and asked slowly: "Lord Wang, what is the situation of falling to the ground now?" ”

Wang Tong smiled bitterly: "What is the situation, presumably Qin Anhou has seen it on the way to come, since last year into winter, the three counties in the north of Yongzhou have snowed heavily, the snow is surplus, people and animals can not walk, until the spring sowing season, hundreds of thousands of acres of fields in the three counties still have snow unmelted, the land is frozen dry and hard, completely cut off vitality, can not be sown at all, seeing that the spring sowing season has passed, the climate has not improved, the people finally despaired, so from half a month ago, the people have fled their hometowns with their families, In some places, even the entire village and the entire Zhuangzi left their hometowns together, and the official ordered the county officials to stay on the road every day, begging the people not to leave, but with little success, and most of the people still fled to the state capital Jincheng......"

Speaking of this, Wang Tong's face showed a look of guilt and heartache, and his eyes quickly filled with tears, and he cried: "Originally, last year's year was not very good, and the people did not save much surplus grain at home, and now they are walking to Jincheng with their family, how many days will it take to store grain?" Even if they gnaw on the bark and grass roots all the way to Jincheng, will they have a way to live when they come to Jincheng? After just half a year of fighting, how can Jincheng still have extra food! ”

Watching Wang Tong's tears dripping down one by one, Wang Junlin's mood was also very heavy.

He believes that Wang Tong is a good official, and he also believes that Wang Tong has made his best efforts, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and during natural disasters, food is the most important thing, and without food, no matter how much you do, it will be in vain.

"Lord Thorn Shi, I don't know how many people are left in the three counties, how much grain and grass are left in the official warehouse, how many casualties are among the people, whether it is peaceful under the rule, whether there is any chaos and trouble, and so on, please tell Lord Thorn Shi in detail." Wang Junlin said slowly.

Wang Tong sniffed, wiped a handful of tears, took a deep breath to calm down his emotions, and then choked up: "Yesterday, the county orders under the jurisdiction sent people to deliver the news, and now the people of the three counties and four wild villages have fled from their hometowns, and there are only about three or four out of ten who really stay in the local area, among which the people gathered outside the counties and county towns, accounting for about half of the people, a small number of people went into the mountains to collect wild mushrooms or hunt, and some are nowhere to be found, and there is no way to know, and at least one-third of the people in the rest of the places have come to Jincheng or are rushing to Jincheng. ”

"Alas! As for the grain in the official warehouse, this official just said that the situation of last year was not good, the grain in the official warehouse was almost exhausted in the war last year, and the remaining old rice and millet were about 1,500 stones, if the people were to be relieved, this grain would only be enough for the people outside the city to eat for ten days......

Speaking of this, Wang Tong sighed, looked at Wang Junlin and said with a sincere face: "The old man knows the predicament that Qin Anhou is facing at the moment, in fact, as long as Qin Anhou can find a way to get enough food within ten days, so that the victims have something to eat, the old man can ensure that the victims will not cause chaos, and as long as the victims do not cause chaos, no matter what means are used by those who secretly want to put Qin Anhou to death, with His Majesty's trust in Qin Anhou, he can withstand the impeachment of hundreds of officials in the imperial court." ”

Wang Junlin glanced at him with a gloomy face, and said faintly: "The problem is that the food needed by hundreds of thousands of disaster victims cannot be mobilized by the imperial court for a while, and even if the lower officials have the ability to reach the sky, they can't get it!" ”

Wang Tong looked up to the sky and sighed, the last glimmer of hope was dashed. He originally thought that Wang King's Landing would have a way, but now it seems that he has thought too much.

Wang Junlin frowned and said, "Could it be that the relief grain of the imperial court can't be transported to Jincheng within ten days?" ”

Wang Tong sighed gloomily: "The year is like this, you also know that from last year to this year, half of the time was fighting, although my Great Sui won the war, and the treasury was also exhausted because of this war, the huge treasury is not empty and can run rats, but it will never be too much, and ......"

Speaking of this, Wang Tong glared at Wang Junlin before continuing: "If some people don't take this opportunity to kill you, maybe the grain can be delivered in ten days. But since we want to borrow tens of thousands of people to put you to death, not to mention that this grain and grass will not be transported to ...... for ten days, but not for thirty days."

Wang Junlin was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Wang Tong meant, his face was gloomy and he could drip water, gritted his teeth and said: "In order to kill me, they dare to gamble with the lives of hundreds of thousands of people." ”

Wang Tong didn't know what he thought, and said inexplicably: "For the sake of the family's interests, sometimes everything can be done. ”

Wang Junlin laughed fiercely and said in a cold voice: "Since this is the case, then don't blame me for killing on a large scale." ”

Wang Tong was startled by the murderous intent emitted by Wang Junlin, was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but secretly speculate in his heart about what Wang Junlin meant, but his face was dejected and miserable twice, his eyes were red, and he said: "Alas, the people of the three counties of Yongzhou recruited whoever provoked whom, not because of natural disasters, but because of the personal enmity of some villains, they were cut off!" On the first day when the people starved to death, the official jumped from the city and apologized to the villagers and elders with his stump ......"

Wang Junlin pursed his lips and was silent, faintly feeling that although hundreds of thousands of people were used by his secret enemies, they were also affected by themselves, although he was ruthless, he would never be able to let hundreds of thousands of people starve to death and ignore it.

In the past few days, Wang Junlin has thought most about how to deal with the enemy's conspiracy, not to let the other party make his reputation and revenge, and then how to deal with the other party using Chen Danying as bait to lure him to appear.

In short, it is to avoid the other party from driving themselves to a dead end. But now Wang Junlin suddenly realized that the main task now is to fill the stomachs of the people, and this is the root of all problems and hidden dangers, the people's stomachs are controlled, who still has the ability to incite everyone to force themselves, who still has the ability to let the rumors spread?

So, the big question now is...... How to raise food? With food, Wang Junlin can take the opportunity to clear up the rumors.

The household department and the state treasury of the imperial court could not count on it, and it was not that the imperial court did not care about the lives of the people, but that the enemies of Wang Junlin would definitely use all kinds of means to delay the arrival of disaster relief food. So now we can only rely on self-financing to save myself.

Thinking of this, Wang Junlin couldn't help but sigh heavily, the people of the three counties in the north of Yongzhou have been reduced to the point of gnawing on the bark and grass roots, seeing that there is no food on his body, he has seen someone starving to death when he came, now let him think of a way, how can he save himself? How to save? He has created a lot of miracles in the past year, but even immortals can't turn food.
