Early the next morning, Du Shen was woken up in a bustle.

While he was still under the quilt, he heard a very strong noise outside, and some people were even angry and crying......

Without thinking too much, Du Shen hurriedly got up and hurried outside.

Outside!

The villagers of Dujia Village didn't know what was going on, and they all ran out, led by a middle-aged man holding a steel fork and hoe, blocking the entrance of the village, shouting angrily.

"You outcasts, if you dare to step forward, we will do it!"

When Du Shen heard this, he was stunned.

Refugee?

How did you come to Dujia Village?

Although Dujia Village is not in the capital, it is not far away, and under normal circumstances, even if there are displaced people, they will only flow to Zhili and other places, how can they get to Dujia Village?

And listening to the meaning of the words, it seems that there is still a confrontation?

Du Shen didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly walked forward and leaned over.

"What's going on?" He saw Du Laohan in the crowd, patted the other party's shoulder, and asked in a low voice.

"What else can there be, a group of homeless people who don't know where they came from, ran to the entrance of our village, and also harmed a lot of crops, and even the dogs raised at the entrance of the village were beaten to death and eaten." Du Laohan said solemnly, with a sad expression on his face.

Hearing this, Du Shen suddenly showed a serious expression.

He had already remembered that in history, in the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, the people were displaced by heavy rains in the south, and the crops were not harvested, and many people starved to death because of this.

Presumably, this is how this group of homeless people came.

Du Shen frowned and looked at the homeless people who were confronting the villagers in Dujia Village.

These homeless people are so ragged and tattered that they are not even as good as beggars, and some of them don't even have clothes, so they can only cover them with leaves.

Among the homeless people, there are old and young, all of them are yellow and thin, and the hungry only have a layer of skin and bones.

Some children, even their eyes are hungry and green, and the arms exposed by the tattered clothes used to hide their bodies can see the bones as thin, which is really distressing to see.

"Please, do well, give me something to eat!"

"We can endure it, but the child can't stop eating......"

"Do you want to watch us starve to death, we are all Ming people, please give us a way to live!"

This group of displaced people is the same people who have been separated from the Naoli refugees, they struggled to come to the edge of the capital along the way, and finally met a village, which is considered to have seen the hope of living, how could they give up, and they have begged bitterly.

Du Shen saw it in his eyes, hurt in his heart, and showed an unbearable look on his face.

He was about to speak, but Du Laohan spoke instead, so he had to give up.

Du Laohan sighed and said: "Even if you come to Dujia Village, it doesn't mean much, there is not much food in each family, if it is given to you, we will not be able to survive in the next year." ”

This is not an exaggeration, but an exposition of a fact.

Dujia Village is just a village with a population of just over 100 people, and even the landlords and squires can't give birth, otherwise even the only private school would not have been opened by Du Shen's deceased father.

It's not that the people of Dujia Village are not kind, it's that they can't do anything about it.

Rural people who farm for a living only save half a year's ration at home, and the rest are used as seeds for the next year, and they also have to pay taxes.

Even if you want to save these people, you can't do anything!

After all, this is a group of homeless people, and there are many of them, nearly a hundred or so people, and a hundred mouths are placed here, which is not a matter of a meal.

What's more, there are floods in the south and there are often major droughts in the north, and if it weren't for the recent rains, their lives might not be much better than those of the displaced people.

Among the homeless, a middle-aged man walked out, he had a thick skeleton, he should have been a burly lord before, but unfortunately now he is hungry and skinny, but he looks a little infiltrated.

"Fellow villager, please be kind, it's really not good, it's okay to reward me for waiting for a mouthful of life-saving food."

The middle-aged man had read for a few years, so he spoke very well, and in fact, it was because of him that he was able to bring these homeless people together along the way, so that they would not scatter and starve to death in the wilderness.

Du Laohan looked at the villagers sadly, and everyone lowered their heads, showing a look of shame.

At this time, Du Shen couldn't stand it anymore, he walked to Du Laohan's side, and said very seriously: "They are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and we are all compatriots, how can I watch you starve to death for no reason, you can rest assured, with my Du Shen to eat, I won't starve you." ”

Although he thinks he loves money, is stingy, and holds grudges, he never makes a mistake in this kind of thing.

How much you are capable and how much you can do depends on you, and it also depends on money.

Although Du Shen is not a rich lord now, after doing business with Emperor Hongzhi and promoting the "stationery store", the money in his hand every month is also 10,000 taels of silver.

Originally, all this money was intended to be invested in the academy that he was haunted by, but now that this kind of thing is encountered, the academy can't cover it, let's save people first!

When the middle-aged man heard Du Shen's words, he wiped his tears with gratitude, knelt directly on the ground and said, "Mr. is a great good person, I can't repay him!" ”

Behind him, those homeless people also knelt down and cried bitterly: "Great kindness, toothless and unforgettable!" ”

How dare Du Shen accept such a big gift: "I can't help it, you get up quickly, and accept such a big gift, I have to lose my life." ”

Having said that, the homeless people still waited for kowtow before standing up one after another.

Seeing this, the villagers of Dujia Village looked struggling.

The next moment.

The men of Dujia Village said: "Be cautious, how can you teach you to carry it alone, who doesn't have any surplus food Yes, at most tighten your belt next year to live, and we will also take out the food at home to save people." ”

Some women were reluctant to say, "If you are in charge, in this way, we will have to live a hard life next year." ”

The men of Dujia Village glared at their mother-in-law and reprimanded: "Mother-in-law with long hair and short knowledge, who is in charge of this family?" ”

The women were in a hurry.

Don't you know who is in charge?

The men in Dujia Village are very iron-headed, stiff their necks, and vow to take out the food at home to help the homeless.

The women were not ignorant, and although their faces were unwilling, none of them objected.

Du Shen couldn't cry or laugh, but warmth rose in his heart, but he knew this matter in his heart, so he said again: "The villagers have a heart, but I can solve the matter of relieving these homeless people by myself, you just need to help." ”

The men patted their chests and said, "Okay, be cautious, if you have something to say, the men in our village will help you!" ”

Du Shen nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then you should prepare the boiler firewood first, and the rest of the people will come with me." ”

But he wanted to go back to the private school and take out the private money that he had hidden.

At this time, the money can be used to buy food and relieve the displaced people first, as for how to arrange them, Du Shen already has an idea in his heart.
