Everyone rushed to the top of the city wall and was immediately stunned by what they saw. The crowd that could not be seen at a glance, without any shelter from the wind and rain, or in groups of three or five, or scattered and listlessly collapsed on the ground.

Everyone was in tatters, with dirt on their faces, and they were not even clothed. The young child desperately squeezed into his mother's arms, trying to suck a mouthful of sweet juice, but the mother had not eaten for two days, and there was not a trace of liquid, and the child began to cry.

Although the magistrate ordered the opening of the porridge factory, it was a drop in the bucket at all, and only those strong men could grab it, in fact, the imperial court has always done the same way to make porridge, as long as the young and strong can eat enough and don't make trouble, everything will be fine. As for the elderly, the weak, the women and the children, they are like consumables in the animal herd, which are about to be eliminated in the dry season.

Silently passing through the crowd, hungry people stretched out their pitch-black palms, their eyes full of supplication. Tang Yitie hardened his heart and didn't take out a single one, not because he was stingy, but because he knew that Xiao En Xiaohui was useless.

After passing through the crowd, almost a hundred paces away, there was a mass grave, and in the past two days there had been more than a dozen corpses, hastily swept with reeds, and they were too lazy to bury them in the soil.

In the distance, there was a group of wild dogs, looking this way from time to time, their scarlet eyes staring at the black crowd, as if they were watching their own delicious meal. Maybe it won't be long before more people die and they will be able to enjoy delicious meat!

Life and death are separated by a short hundred steps, and the strong contrast makes Ye Sheng more and more depressed, there is no need to say more, as long as he is a man, he should shoulder the responsibility.

"Let's go, get back."

Ye Sheng's carriage disappeared from the sight of the refugees, and in the eyes of the refugees, he might be a curious boy who wanted to see what the homeless people looked like. Look, they have nothing left, are you still afraid to look, everyone from the world has the ability to come, and see how they are worse than dead!

……

On the way back to the city, the sky was thick with clouds, and Ning Er couldn't help but feel excited.

"Young master, the sky has changed, and it's going to snow."

Snowfall, for those people outside the city, is no less than the end of the world, the rapid drop in temperature, will take away a large number of old and weak patients. Then the snow melted, and they had to soak in the muddy water, and no matter how strong the men were, they would get sick or even die.

Ye Sheng had a calm face, and squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "County government!" ”

"Okay!"

The subordinate waved the whip vigorously, the carriage moved forward rapidly, and arrived in front of the county yamen in one breath, Ye Sheng jumped down from the car, and many of the officials on both sides knew him and rushed forward to say hello. After the county government found the county order, Sima Guang and Fan Zhongyan all came back. Bao Xianling said with a bitter face: "The yamen really can't draw food. ”

Ye Sheng suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Bao County Order, let's not talk about the food first, seeing that it is snowing, we can't let the people freeze to death!" ”

"This ......" Bao Xianling looked embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "Virtuous nephew, we still have thousands of people in Mengjin who have no place to live, this, this is not easy to do!" ”

"It's easy to do!" Ye Sheng said: "If you can trust me Ye Sheng, you can only send a hundred servants to me, and I have my own way to solve the tens of thousands of refugees outside the city." ”

Bao Xianling was stunned for a moment, and asked worriedly: "Virtuous nephew, that's tens of thousands of people, not a small number...... Fan Zhongyan said: "The old man is the guarantor, and he will arrange the victims."

In addition, another hundred soldiers will be sent from me to be at your command. This matter is up to you."
