The only option for the hungry people is to line up step by step, slowly squeeze to the porridge pot, make a thick bowl of hot porridge, fill the already empty hungry belly, and barely recover some physical strength, so that the fragile life can continue.

No one is noisy, no one has an argument, there is still a long way to go, a bowl of hot porridge is their hope for survival, and it is also the source of motivation for them to go on!

In order to ensure that the soldiers of Baiwu Pass could maintain their basic life, Zhang Bo had done his best to use all the surplus food.

However, the food provided by Baiwuguan was still used up near the afternoon, and the work of distributing porridge had to be temporarily stopped.

It wasn't until it was almost dark in the afternoon that more than a dozen soldiers from Ningzhou and dozens of people escorted dozens of carts full of grain to Baiwu Pass.

Li Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, these grains are about 1,000 stones, and there is no problem for the victims who still haven't entered the customs to drink a bowl of hot porridge each.

He and Jian Zheng hadn't eaten for a whole day, and although Zhang Bo repeatedly persuaded him to eat a little first, he still refused without hesitation.

So it wasn't until a large amount of grain was shipped this time that Li Yi, Jian Zheng, Lian Jun and others ate today's first meal.

Some of the victims have gradually been diverted to Huize, Dongchuan, and Xuanxian after entering the customs, and there are probably more than half of the victims who have not entered the customs.

If all goes well, the diversion will be almost complete by noon tomorrow, and the first phase of the mission will be completed.

Looking at the tired figures of those guys who had been busy all day in front of the porridge pot, Li Yi's heart was inexplicably moved, they were tired enough today, boiling porridge and dividing porridge for a moment, some people were too tired to lift a spoon, it was not okay to go on like this.

Li Yi beckoned Jian Zheng, Lian Jun, Zhuang Qian, Yue Chang and other soldiers who had just eaten, to the porridge pot, and finally persuaded those guys to hand over the soup spoons, and ordered them to be driven back to eat and rest.

Li Yi stood in front of the porridge bucket and personally took charge of the spoon, adding hot porridge to the porridge bowl for those victims with sufficient portions, but there was a feeling of fullness in his heart.

This isn't a show! Serving the people should be the true character of those in power?

Soon, when the victims learned that it was the Yunnan Xuanfu envoy who served the porridge for them, the crowd immediately exploded.

They never imagined that the supreme leader of Han Yunnan would be in charge himself, and it was for the sake of these insignificant victims.

Someone in the crowd cried bitterly, and then, as if infected, the cries of emotion suddenly resounded through the long line of hungry people.

More people desperately wanted to crowd in front of Li Yi's soup porridge pot and compete to see his demeanor, which suddenly caused serious chaos in the order of the team.

Li Yi did not expect this situation in advance, so he had to loudly appeal to them to stay calm and persuade them to maintain order.

After the efforts of everyone, the mood of the victims gradually calmed down, and the order of the team gradually returned to normal.

Li Yi stood in front of the porridge pot for several hours in a row, until he felt that he was really powerless, then handed the porridge spoon to the others, and came to the bedroom prepared by Zhang Bo to rest for a while.

Early the next morning, Li Yi's mental and physical strength quickly recovered, and he immediately climbed the city tower to observe the situation of the hungry people, but found that there were still tens of thousands of victims outside the gate, and Li Yi was really speechless.

The number of these victims has reached a point where Li Yi dare not imagine.

Even though the speed of entry is much faster than before, there are still about a few hundred corpses of hungry people left in the fields outside the gate.

Their physical conditions could not last until they entered the customs, and while Li Yi sighed, he had no choice but to send some soldiers to collect and bury their bodies outside the customs, so as not to be ruined by wild beasts in the wilderness.

After two days and one night's hard work, all the hungry people finally entered the gate and drank their first bowl of hot porridge.

For these hungry people who have nowhere to live, this is the restart of their lives, and it also gives them hope and hope for the future life.

After Zhang Bo's arrangement, the counting of the hungry people was finally completed, and the total number of hungry people who entered the customs area reached more than 53,600, which is not a small number!

You must know that there are only more than 117,000 people in the whole of Yunnan, and it will not be easy to feed and resettle so many people in the future.

Although he felt the huge pressure, Li Yi was relieved to believe that the decision he made under pressure was undoubtedly correct.

In any case, being able to save so many people from fire and water is a good deed of immeasurable merit in itself, even if it is ten times more difficult, you will not hesitate to follow, life is priceless, and a single thought will make them destine.

Seeing the hungry people marching in the direction of Ningzhou one after another, Li Yi decided to inspect the route again to learn about the flow of hungry people and the resettlement situation in the counties along the way, so as to properly do the next step.

There are only two routes for the hungry people this time, one is from Dongchuan to go straight to Ningzhou by bypassing Wumeng Mountain, and the other is through Huize, Xuanxian and then to Ningzhou, this road in Dongchuan is relatively deserted, and there are far fewer hot porridge supply points along the way, Li Yi decided to pass by this road, so as to learn about the living conditions of the hungry people along the way.

Li Yi and Jian Zheng and their group of more than 20 people rode slowly on this mountain road, slowly marching towards Dongchuan with the flow of hungry people.

On the way, they also dismounted from time to time to check and soothe them, encouraging the hungry people to cheer up, have confidence, and not give up easily, and if they persist for a while, they will reach Ningzhou, where they have been fully prepared and will not let them down.

After a period of trekking, Dongchuan County is already close at hand, and the porridge shack on the side of the road has begun to take shape.

Li Yi and his entourage bypassed the crowded crowd and finally came to the entrance of the county seat.

There are also several porridge sheds set up in this place, and the Dongchuan parent official Qian Cong, with the hem of the official robe tucked into his waist and a sleeve rolled up, is there directing the officials to carry bags and bags of grain and put them in the porridge shed.

Depending on the situation, everyone was already sweating through their jackets and out of breath.

At this time, Qian Cong also saw the arrival of Li Yi and his party, and hurriedly greeted him.

Li Yi turned over and dismounted, held Qian Cong's hands, and said emotionally: "Brother Qian has worked hard, everyone has worked hard, I thank you for the people from southern Sichuan!" ”

Qian Cong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a heartfelt smile: "The handsome man has the world in mind and helps all the people, this is the blessing of the people!" They didn't know how to express their gratitude to the handsome! ”

Li Yi sighed and said: "The large number of victims is unexpected, but no matter how difficult it is, we can't ignore them, so you have to tell everyone to treat the hungry people as your parents and brothers from beginning to end, and try to meet their requirements." ”

"I know that you are facing great difficulties, as long as you bring it up, if there is any problem, Ben Shuai will solve it for you."

"Dashuai said very well, treat the people as parents, clothes are the same, food is the same food, this is also my traditional official standard, with me here, you can rest assured!"

"We have just received 300 stone of grain from Ningzhou, and the rich families in this county have also been mobilized, and porridge sheds have been set up in the rural communities to receive these victims, there should be basically no problem, and we can solve the rest by ourselves."

Li Yi nodded with satisfaction, and was about to say a few more words, when he suddenly heard the heart-rending cry of a child next to him.
