"I'm so hungry, I want to eat."

"Food, we need food."

"I see my father and mother, they're recruiting me, do you see?"

After the government collects taxes, the last bit of grain in the hands of many ordinary people has been exhausted, and all the things that can be exchanged for money in the family have been sold for money to buy grain, but now the price of grain is too high, and everything is sold in exchange for only a little rations, how should they live in the future?

The hungry people are looking for anything to eat, wild vegetables, I'm sorry, it's winter, there are no wild vegetables, tree roots, I don't know how many tree roots have been dug up by the people and boiled and eaten, no matter how bitter and astringent they have to eat, if they don't eat it is starvation, compared to the cold of winter, hunger is their biggest enemy.

Millions of hungry people flocked to the city, knowing that there was a mountain of food in the city, and only by entering the city could they get a glimmer of hope for life.

However, when a large number of victims poured into the city, the first order of the local government officials was to keep the gates of the city closed, and no victims were allowed to enter the city, and the high walls blocked the hopes of countless victims.

Fortunately, although the victims were hungry, they did not reach the point of complete madness, and the sharp blades in the hands of the troops stationed in the city temporarily made the victims not have the idea of attacking the city, but this situation will not last long, it is better to be starved to death than to rush into the city to grab food, so that there is a glimmer of hope for life, it is better than starving to death.

In some areas where the situation is bad, there has even been a situation of changing children to eat, there is no food, and there is no one to provide disaster relief, so if you want not to starve to death, you can only eat people.

In the face of the millions of hungry victims in the entire territory of the Dali Empire, most of the officials and families watched this scene indifferently, and only a few officials or families took out some food to help the victims in the nearby area, but they could not completely solve this rapidly expanding disaster.

There will also be some people who take advantage of this disaster to fish in troubled waters, and take some people into slavery at a relatively low price or without money, in order to survive, the common people can no longer care about that, and when people die, there is nothing, even if they become the slaves of others, it is always good to survive.

Even some good-looking women among the victims were snatched up, waiting for the fate of these women, either being sold into the green building, or becoming the maids of large families, the latter was better, and the former was simply dark.

In these years, they have experienced natural disasters I don't know how many, but the family still inherits, they are indifferent to the natural disasters in the outside world, as long as it does not affect the inheritance of the family, regardless of the life and death of the people, the family will take advantage of the natural disaster to squeeze the meager money in the hands of the people, although the money in the hands of a family is very small, but when the number increases, the money accumulated is more.

However, in the midst of this natural disaster, there is one force that has attracted widespread attention, and he is the Illuminati, a religious organization that suddenly appeared.

Except for a small number of officials who feel that the Illuminati Sect has ulterior motives, most of the other officials are happy to see the appearance of the Illuminati Sect, and the Illuminati Sect is helping the victims, which is to reduce their pressure, anyway, it is not to take food out of their pockets, who cares why the Illuminati is helping the victims.

Under these circumstances, the power of the Illuminati expanded rapidly, and the number of followers of the Illuminati increased rapidly, reaching millions of people.

Compared with the Bright Sect, which provided large-scale relief to the victims, the Yun Clan's actions were much weaker, and the Yun Clan's scope of influence was only Yunhua County and the surrounding counties of Yunhua County.

Natural disasters also affect Zezhou, affect Yunhua County, but the impact of natural disasters on Yunhua County is not great, rich water resources and criss-crossing ditches make the land in Yunhua County get good irrigation, drought on the harvest of farmland is not too big, and this year's grain production in Yunhua County is even higher than last year's grain production, which is simply a miracle in the disaster year.

Although the Yun clan was not short of food, the Yun clan still spent a lot of money to buy a large amount of grain from other families, and at the same time, the Yun clan recruited young and strong people from the outside world and moved the entire family to Yunhua County.

The population of Yunhua County is only more than 200,000, which is far from the limit of the population that Yunhua County can accommodate, not to mention that the Yun family also has an overseas territory comparable to Zezhou Yingzhou, the development of Yingzhou requires a large number of people, and a large part of the population of Yunhua County is transported to Yingzhou by ship to develop Yingzhou.

Among the victims who migrated to Yunhua County, there may be spies from other forces, but the Yun clan has no worries, as long as they are sent to Yingzhou, it is extremely difficult for the spies to send the news out in Yingzhou, unless they can swim back to the land of Shenzhou from Yingzhou, thinking about this is impossible, even if it is an innate martial artist.

The Yun clan recruited a large number of people from the outside world, and the people affected by the natural disaster in the surrounding counties of Yunhua County after knowing the treatment of the people of Yunhua County, they dragged their families and their families to bring their only money and food to embark on the road to Yunhua County, and the number of these victims can be described as tens of thousands.

In the face of the swarming victims, the Yun clan did not stop them, but sent a large number of people to resettle these victims.

A small number of victims were resettled nearby and placed on undeveloped land in the northwest, northeast and north of Yunhua County, and these victims could open up land for these undeveloped lands, and the Yun family took out a large amount of food and even some clothing to ensure that these victims who had become a part of Yunhua County would not starve to death or freeze to death.

Most of the other victims have moved to the interior of Yunhua County or further south, and a small number of them have also been resettled in situ to clear the undeveloped land, leaving almost half of the population of the entire disaster victims to be sent to Wanghai Town or Binhai Town, and then boarded a ship to Yingzhou.

In just three months, the population under the rule of the Yun clan has exceeded 260,000, and more than 500 disaster victims will set foot on the land of Yunhua County every day, and the population potential of the Yun clan is increasing rapidly.

However, the increase in population has also increased the pressure on the Yun family, these people who have just become the Yun family are all disaster victims, and there is not much food in their hands, the Yun family needs to come up with a large amount of food to help them, fortunately, the Yun family started grain reserves a long time ago, and after the autumn harvest, they also took out a large amount of money to buy high-priced grain, with these preparations, the Yun family can barely hold on.

In addition, the Yun family has also built some small fishing boats for offshore fishing in batches, fishing in the offshore waters, relieving the pressure on Yun's food, in the sea, the fishery resources are endless, but the sea monsters are sometimes active in the offshore waters, resulting in the loss of dozens of fishermen and several fishing boats in the Yun family.
