Chapter 163: The Siege of Refugees
"Haha, Youlin is back. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" took the big bowl handed over by Li You and took a big sip of it.
"Alas, Wan Lao, you have to worry about Wanfulou at such an old age, it's really hard for you, you sit down and rest for a while. Xiaofuzi, go and heat up the meal for Wan Lao. Looking at the tired old man Wan, Li You couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
But at this time, Li You has a bit of a headache, and now this craftsman has been recovered, but there are no drawings yet. Alas, I have to hurry up and urge Junyi's chick.
Anyway, this craftsman has been recovered, and he can't let them stay, so Li You brought a pen and paper, wrote down the general items needed, and gave Xiaofuzi gold and silver to tell him to take the craftsmen to purchase the things he needed first, after all, Li You had read the design outline at the time, so it was okay to buy some necessary things first.
"By the way, Youlin, you don't know, this is already exploding outside!" When Li You sent everyone away, Old Man Wan, who was holding a bowl of water and drinking water, opened his mouth to tell what he had learned when he went out to find the craftsman this morning.
"Oh? What's wrong? I just came back, and I don't know yet, so tell me about it. Hearing that there was a bustle, Li You suddenly became interested.
"Hey, I heard that more than 10,000 refugees from Hebei came to our Youzhou City and wanted us to help, but our Metropolitan Governor didn't seem to let us open the city gate." Seeing that Li You was interested, Old Man Wan also put down the water bowl and began to tell what he had heard.
"Oh? Why don't you let them into the city? Could it be that our Youzhou City can't accommodate more than 10,000 refugees in this area? Li You was very puzzled, it stands to reason that with the wealth of this Youzhou City, not to mention more than 10,000 people, it is 100,000 refugees, as long as the granary is opened, it can be fed for them for three or five months.
"This old man doesn't know." After all, Old Man Wan is just a businessman at best, so naturally he won't know what this Metropolitan Governor thinks.
"Hehe, then Wan Lao, you rest first, I'll go out and see the excitement." Li You actually heard the word refugee, his eyes lit up, not for anything else, this now, 'people' is a good thing.
called Mu Niang, who was chatting with the girls in the courtyard, and walked out of Wanfu Tower and headed towards the city gate.
"What's wrong, Childe??" Looking at her son-in-law's very happy smile, Mu Niang couldn't help but say with some doubts.
"Hahaha, of course it's a good thing, Mu Niang, what do you say is the most lacking in our base now??" Li You strode forward as he turned his head and smiled at Mu Niang, who was following him in confusion. Asked rhetorically.
"The most lacking?? No shortage of them! Now we have everything there!! Scratching her head, Mu Niang thought about it, she really didn't think of what was missing now, since Li You came, not only did she eat well and dress warmly. And it also brings a lot of things to everyone that were unimaginable before. This is already the most perfect life in Mu Niang's heart.
"Cut! You little head... Don't you think what we lack most now is people? Li You gently patted Mu Niang's little head.
"People?? Why is there a shortage of people? When I heard Li You say that there was a lack of people, I was even more puzzled. Why is there a shortage of people in this good place?
"Alas! Mu Niang, your little head is really hopelessly stupid...... Don't you think we're making slow progress right now? Li You actually understands that with the current speed of the construction of the base, in the current Datang, it can already be said to be the same speed as flying. With the help of machinery. It can be said that one person tops hundreds of people. That's not an exaggeration. After all, it's a metaphor for moving a big rock. With an excavator. You can dig it up in minutes. On the contrary, if you want to dig up a stone of the same size, it may take dozens of people several days, or even ten days, to dig it out.
But now it's fast. But in the opinion of Li You, who is a modern person and at the same time building a similar base in modern times. It's really slow, it can't be any more slow. I'm afraid I'll wait until here to fix it. He has to be at least thirty or forty years old, and Li You doesn't have that long to wait slowly.
Soon the two of them came to the city gate. Li You and the others from a distance saw that the city gate was tightly closed at this time. And inside the city walls. It was already full of armor-piercing soldiers. And Li You could clearly hear the noise outside. There was even the sound of a door banging.
"Who? Stand down! Li You, who was waiting, walked to the bottom of the city tower. He was stopped by a soldier with a halberd in his hand.
"Uh... That military master, please inform Li Lingkui, the metropolitan governor, and say that Li Youlin is coming. In fact, Li You had already seen Li Lingkui standing on the city tower, but the surroundings were too noisy. Presumably, even if it is Li You's loud shout, I'm afraid Li Lingkui will be difficult to hear.
"The Metropolitan Governor is what you say you will see? Get out of here! Otherwise, don't blame me for not being emotional! Hearing Li You's words, the soldier suddenly had a disdainful expression on his face. I don't look at your poor and sour appearance, and I still want to see the Grand Governor, it's a fool's dream..., today's soldiers are not like modern soldiers, ancient soldiers can be said to be no different from bandits, after all, they are the most uneducated rough people.
Li You looked at the angry soldier in front of him, and he was helpless. But at this time. With sharp eyes, he found that a group of people beside him were quickly walking towards the city tower from his side.
"Brother Su!"
"Huh? Who's calling me? Su Xiao, the Great Sima of Youzhou, who was hurrying with a group of soldiers, suddenly stopped. When I turned my head, I saw a familiar face.
"Oops! Youlin! Why are you still here? Let's go to the castle tower with my brother, the adults are still waiting there! "After all, I am on official business now, and the situation is urgent. Su Xiao directly turned around and pulled Li You up, and walked towards Li Lingkui on the top of the city tower.
"Subordinates meet the governor!"
"Greetings to the Father!"
Coming to the city tower, the two of them simultaneously faced Li Lingkui, who was looking at the dense refugees outside the city wall and had a headache.
Hearing the voice behind him, Li Lingkui was obviously stunned. Turning around, he looked at the two people in front of him
"Huh, Yulin? What are you doing here? ”
"The child heard that there were many refugees from outside the city, so he thought he would come and see if he could help his father-in-law." Li You naturally won't tell the truth.
"Oh? My son has a heart. Ay! Why are there so many refugees at once..."
