"Hmm~~, so many people fleeing from the famine and begging for food, is it possible that there is a disaster?"

Putting the phone in his arms, Liu Huayun glanced at the crowd in front of him, and couldn't help frowning and muttering.

But I saw that on the huge official road ahead, there were no less than 1,000 villagers in tattered clothes, carrying patches and bags, dragging their families with their families, including old people on crutches and young children waiting to be fed.

"Childe, you're okay, give me something to eat!"

The woman with a little girl saw that Liu Huayun who got out of the carriage was dressed brightly and had an extraordinary bearing, and should be a rich businessman, so she squirmed her dry lips and pleaded with him.

"Childe, what's the matter, how can there be so many displaced people in this Shandong territory?"

At this moment, Lu Feng, who heard the movement, also stepped down from the carriage, glanced at the refugees in front of him, and he couldn't help frowning and asking.

"Lu Feng, give our dry food and water to this little sister some ......"

In the history of Liu Huayun's previous life, large-scale refugees fled from the famine, and under normal circumstances, it was natural disasters and man-made disasters, and farmers who could not survive were forced to leave their homes;

Just like the Hakka people in Guangdong and Fujian, they were formed by the settlement of displaced people from Anhui, Henan and other places in history.

In all dynasties, the people lived in peace and the world was peaceful, and the political situation was unstable when the displaced people were around, so Liu Huayun, who knew that Dafeng had not been eliminated from external troubles, could no longer withstand the peasant riots, wanted to build his own business empire with peace of mind;

It is necessary to inform the prince He Jin of the truth of the matter, so that he can punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials, allocate rice and grain in time for disaster relief, and stabilize the people's hearts!

"Childe, for you, we don't have much dry food," as he spoke, Lu Feng, who returned to the carriage, walked down from the carriage with two flatbreads with meat and a water bladder.

"Little sister, here you go, take it, eat slowly, don't choke, yes, drink saliva first......

That sister-in-law, dare to ask where are you from? What happened to the family, why did you take your daughter to this Jinan border to escape the famine and ask for food......

Liu Huayun took the fragrant, meatloaf and water bladder, first handed it to the little girl with a blank eye, and then handed the other piece and the water bladder to the woman in front of her in her thirties, and then asked.

"Thank you Gongzi, the woman Li Mei, is a native of Anyang, Henan, we have not had a drop of rain since the beginning ......of the year, and then suffered a locust plague, all the grain and wheat have not been harvested, and it is really helpless to follow everyone to flee the famine."

The woman took the meatloaf wrapped in butter paper, fed the girl a sip of water, and glanced at her daughter, who had not been so satisfied for months;

Not willing to eat the meatloaf in her hand, the woman took it into her arms and said with a sigh.

According to the woman named Li Mei, this year, most of Henan has suffered a drought that has not been encountered for decades, and the people who have relied on the sky for food and paid the rent are precarious;

Coupled with the ravages of locusts and the destruction of green seedlings, this season's grain and wheat are destined to be harvested.

However, the road to the capital was guarded by garrisons, and there was no way, some of the hungry victims fled to Shaanxi, and they fled here because of their proximity to Jinan.

In the past few months, sometimes they can only eat wild vegetables, wild fruits, grass roots, and tree bark to satisfy their hunger, while his husband and eldest son are looking for food in front of the crowd.

"Damn, it's really the sin of corrupt officials! This is the rhythm of the government forcing the people to rebel......"

Natural disasters are not terrible, even in the civilized society of Liu Huayun's previous life, earthquakes and floods are not uncommon, but in a guaranteed society, no matter how big the disaster is, people will not give up rebuilding their homes;

It is even more unlikely that a large number of displaced people will appear, however, the current situation is that the relief food from the imperial court has been delayed, but the government has still dispatched troops and horses to suppress the people who want to go to Beijing to file a complaint.

Man-made disasters are the root of all evils, listening to the words of the woman in front of him, Liu Huayun knew that someone must be obstructing this matter.

Either the local officials are greedy for the silver taels of disaster relief, or there is a bigger conspiracy hidden in it!

"Childe, please give me something to eat, my baby is about to starve to death......"

"Master, you are very gracious, give me a few coppers, we have not entered the water for several days, and the rice has not entered......"

"Master, have mercy on us!"

Seeing that the woman had asked for a meatloaf, several of the displaced people in front of him cheered, quickly gathered around here, and pleaded bitterly.

"Uncle Hua, let's take a detour to Jinan, let's go!"

After a while, Liu Huayun, who had sent all the food out, glanced at the hungry people, his eyes were full of pain, and he commanded, and then stepped into the carriage.

It's not that he doesn't want to help these people in Dafeng, how can he have an exhaustion of manpower, and with his strength alone, even if he exhausts all the silver taels on his body, how many people can he save?

Besides, he didn't have time to spend in Jinan, buying rice and grain to open a porridge factory or something;

The best way to solve the problem is to develop modern agriculture, increase grain production, punish insatiable officials, and enable the people to live and work in peace and contentment.

"No, we really don't have food, I'm sorry, let's let go!"

As the voices of Lu Feng and Uncle Hua sounded, the carriage slowly turned around, and then moved away from the crowd towards the fork in the road leading to Jinan City.

"Lu Feng, Uncle Hua, the matter of the displaced people should not be underestimated, we need to hurry up and get to the capital as soon as possible......"

A moment later, the carriage was far away from the people fleeing the famine.

There are not many displaced people from Henan on the fork in the road ahead, only one or two are seen on the side of the road on the way, but Liu Huayun's mood is getting heavier and heavier;

He wanted to rush to the capital immediately and ask his grandfather Yang Zheng and eldest brother-in-law Ji Xiaolan if the imperial court knew about the matter, and whether they had allocated or provided disaster relief food in time.

"Well~~~, then listen to the son, let's buy some dry food and tea in Jinan City, and then go directly to the Yellow River ferry......"

Uncle Hua and Lu Feng would not object to Liu Huayun's proposal, and after answering, the carriage quickly headed towards Jinan City.

In the past few days, the displaced people have just migrated from northern Henan and slowly migrated to Ludi, so after arriving in Jinan City, they did not see how many people begging for food on the streets.

Liu Huayun is not a messenger who patrols the heavens, let alone an official in Shandong, and he is powerless about whether the Fu Yin of Jinan City and the rich merchants in the city will help these victims.

"Brother, this is the beef, pancakes, and drinks you wanted...... A total of two taels and eight dollars. ”

In the street where snacks are sold in Jinan City, the middle-aged woman smiled lightly and pushed a large pile of packaged food in front of Liu Huayun.

"Childe, can you give me one of these pancakes?"

At this moment, a young man with unkempt hair and a dirty face beside him stepped forward and pleaded.

I'll go, a woman dressed as a man, what's the matter with this little girl, is it like some rebellious girls in her previous life, who ran away from home after quarreling with her parents, and fell into such a field.

Although this young man deliberately made his face dirty, and the bulge on his chest was also ruthlessly flattened with a ribbon, but what kind of person is Liu Huayun, it can be said that there are countless royal maidens in his past and present lives, how can he not see her disguise.

Therefore, he smiled faintly and said: "Sister-in-law, this is three taels of silver, don't look for it, give the rest to this little sister and make it into a meatloaf!" ”
