Chapter 29: The Rebellion of the Exiles
Along the way, Qianyan encountered several hungry people surrounding him, but Qianyan did not give them food and silver. Because after giving one, other people will keep pestering you when they see it. Until you give everything you have, otherwise they will grab it, and at this time, it is wisest not to give anything.
When those people saw that Qianyan didn't have anything, they naturally wouldn't pester him, and they left after a while. Qianyan had to return home smoothly.
Shu Yao looked at the noisy streets in the past, but now the streets are empty, and when the wind blows, the fallen leaves on the ground are blown and fluttering all over the sky, looking bleak and deserted.
Back in the small courtyard, Master Yang prepared a little food for Qianyan for dinner. Now there is a famine everywhere, and there is not much food left in the house, so I can only eat a little less at each meal, so that I can eat a little longer.
The chickens and ducks in the backyard have been laying eggs since they lacked food. Now that Master Yang hasn't slept yet, Shu Yao can only wait until late at night to go to the system to exchange for some feed. Come and feed these chickens and ducks, or in a few days, these chickens and ducks will die.
The next day, when Qianyan came to the city gate again, the displaced people outside the city wall had already been placed on the ten acres of land that Qianyan had said. Every day, food is brought to ensure that every homeless person can eat. With food as a guarantee, the displaced people gradually quieted down, and the act of grabbing food was alleviated to a certain extent.
But as more and more homeless people poured in, the food was almost running out, so they had no choice but to add more water to it, and the rice that used to be boiled in one pot has now been boiled in two pots.
The homeless people looked at the dwindling rice and began to be dissatisfied. Finally, one day, when everyone was distributing food to them, the homeless people snatched the food and locked them up and prevented them from coming out.
For a while, the scene was very chaotic, and Qianyan, the Seventh Prince, and Bai Jiayun were worried about the future food in the soup kitchen. As a result, when I heard such a news, I immediately rushed to the scene. The homeless people who had been housed here were now abducting the three of them who were in charge of distributing the porridge, opposite their soldiers, and demanding that they exchange them for rice.
Seeing such a scene, the Seventh Prince's face darkened, and he said angrily: "We are trying to solve this famine by all means, and we have given you so many things. Is this how you are now returning to the court and our help?!"
The kidnapper looked like the boss of the homeless people, he looked at the Seven Princes and them, his face did not waver at all, and he said sharply: "Look at what you gave us to eat, we could still eat some rice grains in the past, but now?" Now slowly there is only half a bowl of food, and the rest is just some water. Look at it, you officials must be the delicacies of the mountains and the sea every day, no matter how bad our people are. You'll never get to know how we feel, you won't get to know that we have to go hungry every day to beg for food. Sometimes these rich boys kick us to the side, and if they don't like it, they will let the people pull us into the alley and beat us up, you will never experience such a feeling. The more the homeless man spoke, the more excited he became, and the porcelain piece in his hand had already scratched the hostage's neck.
Qian Yan looked at the person's loud talk about his own unfair experience, thinking about his past, why didn't he come over like this. Qian Yan walked up, facing the exile who was holding hostages, Shu Yao was afraid that Qian Yan would be held hostage by those exiles by accident, so he pushed him backward and did not allow him to go forward. Qianyan gently mouthed for Shu Yao's blocking: Don't worry. Then he said to those homeless people: "You said that your fate is not good, how can my fate be good, although I was born in a Hou Mansion, I am the eldest son in the Hou Mansion, but do you know? My birth mother was just my father's concubine, and she died not long after giving birth to me. During my days in the Hou Mansion, no one hurt, I was often bullied by the people in the mansion, even the lowest subordinates could teach me, my food was deducted, even the winter clothes were taken away, I often couldn't eat enough, and I couldn't sleep warmly. I didn't have to worry about eating, so I had to pick up the leftovers they had eaten, as well as the things that had been swishing off for days. You didn't have the life you lived and decided to despair, but I have a home, and I have lived without a home since I was a child. ”
"Now in times of famine, you go hungry and feel like you don't have enough food, but you also come to Kyoto from other places and are refugees. You know better than us how many homeless people starved to death on the road, and if you get food from us today, then after you go out. How long can it last? Is it still holding others hostage in exchange for food like now? ”
The homeless people were silent and silent, in fact they were ordinary people who had come from other places, and had to beg for food from the rich families because of the famine. Along the way, watching those grain merchants raise the price of grain again and again, all the money on them has been spent. When they came here, they saw hope, originally they just wanted to hold some people hostage and get some food, and they had no choice but to come to this point.
An old man walked out, asked the homeless led by him to let go of the hostage, threw away the porcelain piece in his hand, and knelt in front of them at once, repenting bitterly: "I just want everyone to eat better, everyone has come all the way, and they are already hungry." Being bullied and scared by those wicked people, we were confused for a moment and did such a thing. I can't stand you guys. ”
The hostages were all released safely, and the Seventh Prince asked the hostages to be taken down for a good life, and looked at the straight back of Qianyan in front of him and followed those homeless people to tell about the recent drought. The soldiers did not hurt any of these displaced people, and every life that came to the world deserved to be respected, and I hope that the displaced people will not do such things again in the future.
After pacifying the homeless people, when Qian Yan came out, his face was not as relaxed as inside, and he told his past in front of everyone. This is what he doesn't want to do in the future, to appease the homeless people in the future, he told the past that he was most reluctant to look back on, will Shu Yao think that he is a person who has grown up being bullied, will he think that he is weak.
The Seventh Prince looked at Mr. from the time he came out to the present, and his face had not been good, so he could only work hard to reduce his sense of existence.
Qian Yan waited and waited, but he didn't wait for Shu Yao to come, and he couldn't help but think, what if Shu Yao wasn't there just now, and she didn't hear what she said, was his appearance in Shu Yao's heart still the same and unchanged.
Shu Yao really didn't hear what the cub said, she went to see them and hoard food, after more than half a month of consumption. It has become very little, and if no new food comes in, the rest of the food will only last all the people for another twenty days or so. After eating all this food, there really is no more.
Shu Yao went to the system to see if he could put something to help Qianyan with disaster relief, and in the system, Shu Yao found rice. It's just that if she wants to buy rice, then judging from the current situation, she needs to buy a lot of rice to help Qianyan. But she is only a student, not a krypton player, so this method was passed by Shu Yao, and she continued to look, Shu Yao found a greenhouse similar to a modern one, and the price was much cheaper than buying a lot of rice. If you install a greenhouse like this in the world of Chiyan, you can grow crops in it whether it is winter, spring, or drought. Moreover, with the shelter of the greenhouse, the water will not be evaporated too quickly, and some water can be retained to a certain extent.
It's just that if you add this greenhouse now, the time to plant crops will be too long, and by the time the crops in here are ripe, it is estimated that those displaced people will already be cold.
