Except for Luo Cheng, no one believed that the Great Sui Empire was about to end.

After all, in their opinion, the Great Sui was the most powerful dynasty in the late Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, and they believed that the Sui Dynasty could last as long as the Han Dynasty, and even if it was to die, it would be at least two or three hundred years later.

No one believed that the Sui Dynasty would not even be as good as the Western Jin Dynasty.

The Western Jin Dynasty ended the rebellion of the Three Kingdoms, passed on the four emperors, and the country was 51 years old, although it was short-lived, but after all, it was recognized that Sima Yan's feudal system was not good, which led to the rapid defeat of the Western Jin Dynasty.

The great division of the Western Jin Dynasty made the central court powerless.

However, the Sui Dynasty was not divided, and the central court was extremely powerful, especially the prosperous era of Emperor Wen in the 22nd year of the Emperor, the country was rich and strong, and the government soldiers were strong.

Even today, although many people criticize the emperor for his quick success, but the emperor also really destroyed Tuyuhun and destroyed Goguryeo, many people feel that it was indeed very critical before, but now that Goguryeo has also been extinguished, then the Sui Empire has passed the most dangerous catastrophe, and then it will recover again, or even more powerful.

But when Luo Cheng came out of Luoyang, what he saw all the way was not that the people were living and working in peace and contentment, but that the people were everywhere. On the wide and straight official road, the most common people are homeless.

Hundreds of people were ragged and hungry, like beggars.

Even those former guard dogs are either skinny or have green eyes that have eaten corpses, full of fierce looks.

In the wilderness, you can see people everywhere who eat their children, not to mention in the city, where mothers sell their children every day. Some people sell their fields, sell their houses, and even sell their wives and concubines.

Food prices have risen again.

But on the other hand, there are a large number of abandoned fields, uncultivated, and the once fertile fields are overgrown with weeds, up to knees.

Most of the owners of the fields fled to the desert, or to escape from the bandits.

Hordes of hungry people, deserters, and thieves roamed the plains, constantly attacking the villages along the way, robbing the people of what little food they had, setting fire to their houses, destroying the villages, and then forcing the people who had nothing to do with them.

A stable world should be in its place.

Scholars manage the world, the people cultivate the fields, the merchants are in all directions, and the craftsmen create utensils, so that the world will be stable and prosperous.

But now the people don't farm, the soldiers don't guard the land, the trade routes are blocked, and the cities are embarrassed, how can the world not be chaotic?

Luo Cheng hates all kinds of apocalyptic scenes, but he knows that he can't do anything, the only thing he can plant is to find a way to take more people to Liaodong, where he will retain a little more vitality for the Han family and the Central Plains, and keep the northeast territory of the Han family for the end of the world.

Passing by a ferry, a group of weak homeless people gathered there, they were roasting something.

Yizi Lingkan said, "They're eating people." ”

"I know." Luo Cheng was a little calm.

"It's like a child."

"Go and ask whose child it is."

Kan Ling went and returned, "Those people changed their children to eat, they said that they had not eaten for several days, and they also said that the children had starved to death, and because they could not bear to eat their own children, they exchanged food with others. ”

"Hey, Yi Zi and eat, the elephant of the last days, give them some dry food, let them put some poor children into the earth for peace, and then tell them that if they are willing to go to Liaodong with us, they will have a way to live."

A bag of steamed cakes was thrown in front of those people.

"One per person, those who dare to rob more, die!"

Wang Xiongdan pointed at the group of people with Chang Lao in his hand and shouted, and the group of people looked at the white steamed cakes, and their eyes burst into light. I could see the armor and sharp weapons on the generals on them, and licked my lips uneasily.

In the end, someone had the courage to go forward and grab a steamed cake back, but he didn't dare to take more.

The little general of Mingguangjia didn't move him.

So more people rushed forward to pick up steamed cakes, and one guy forgot the rules for a while, and most of them took two, and then were knocked over by Wang Xiongdan's tail.

"One warning, a second time, death!"

A group of people gobbled up, and a steamed cake was quickly eaten, and they were still staring at Luo Cheng and them.

"Still want to eat? It's okay, bury the child and follow us. ”

A thin guy said, "Master Jun, the children are all starving to death, they have been roasted, it's a pity to bury them, it's better to bring them." ”

Only those who are very hungry and frightened will say that.

But Wang Xiongdan pointed at Changlao, "This is the imperial court Liaodong Jiedu envoy Chu State Duke Luo Shuai, follow us, and when we get to Liaodong, we have land to plant, food to eat, and a house to live in, but we have to listen to us and bury the child." ”

When they heard that the general over there was actually Luo Cheng, this group of people was secretly frightened.

In the end, he muttered for a while, but decided to follow Luo Cheng, after all, wandering on this plain, there was no food at all, and the city was guarded by government soldiers and county soldiers, and their homeless people would not be able to enter, and no one would give them food.

Several women began to dig a pit, and their husbands said that it was a pity, and that burying them here was probably cheaper than wild dogs.

"That's our flesh, it's our children." A woman wept bitterly.

"I know it's my child, but I can only blame him for casting the wrong baby and choosing the wrong time, in fact, this child's life is still good, his eldest sister's ten steamed cakes were sold to the people on the canal boat, and his second sister, three catties of grain were sold to the landlord of Zhaozhuang in front, as well as his grandfather, and starved to death·······"

"Don't talk about it."

The woman's heart ached.

The man couldn't help crying as he spoke, "Child, after this catastrophe, let's be reborn, I just hope that this baby will be reincarnated as soon as possible, and then join a rich and noble family." ”

"With this handsome, can you really have steamed cakes to eat?"

Wang Xiongdan's heart was very uncomfortable, he remembered the days when he had wandered as a beggar, if he hadn't met his father-in-law to take them in, he might have become the belly of a beggar and hungry like that child now.

"Let's go, our handsome words have always been true to our words."

Luo Cheng caught up with the big team in Hejian County.

At this time, this huge contingent of immigrants has grown a little more.

Originally, more than 30,000 people, plus more than 100,000 people brought by the extermination of Gaojibo's capture, and then many displaced people who heard that Luo Cheng promised the future of Liaodong along the way, also rushed over.

Under the city of Hejian, the ranks of immigrants swelled to a staggering 200,000 people.

Duan Da said to Luo Chengdao who came worriedly, "I can't accept the displaced people anymore, there are so many people, I can't settle them." ”

"Now we have to feed these people every day to get 2,000 stone grain, they always shout that they can't eat, there are too many people, and they walk slowly, and when we go to Liaodong, it is estimated that it will take a month, 2,000 stone a day, and when we reach the city of Liaodong, we will get 60,000 stone of grain, God, we don't have so much food at all."

Luo Cheng hates this Grandma Duan, since he was defeated by Zhang Jincheng and given the nickname Grandma Duan, now Luo Cheng's subordinates also secretly call him Grandma Duan.

"Didn't we get a lot of food from Gaojibo, and there were also county and county governments and local wealthy families along the way who also sent us a lot, isn't it enough?"

Duan Da reluctantly said, "Why should those grains feed these rotten people." ”

"The rotten people are also the people, they are the people of the Great Sui, Liaodong needs them more, from today on, the rations for young and strong men and women will increase to one and a half liters, and the young and old people will still be one liter."

"To add? God, it's not like that's wasted when there's food. ”

Luo Cheng ignored his jumping feet, but turned to Wei Zheng and said, "We have to speed up, let the young man travel eighty miles a day, the young men and women follow, and the old man and children march forty miles a day." ”

"Do you want to pull away?"

"Well, let these young men rush to Liaodong first, not only to save some food rations on the road, but also to hurry over to prepare for spring ploughing, you can't miss this spring sowing, how many seeds can be planted. In addition, it is also possible to build a tunpu house in advance, so as not to have nowhere to live after the elderly, children and women in the back. ”

"It's still handsome and thoughtful, I'll arrange it."
