Chapter 285: Disaster Relief Funds
Everywhere they passed, most of the people were hungry as skin and bones, and some of them had some scars on their bodies.
Bei Xiaoqi didn't want to see such a scene, she took Jun Chenmo's hand, leaned her head on Jun Chenmo's arm, and closed her eyes.
"Mother, I... Good... I'm hungry. A little girl's voice came from the side, lying in her mother's arms, speaking weakly.
Probably because she was going to be a mother too, Bei Xiaoqi looked at this mother and son with some distress, and when she couldn't help but want to give the mother and daughter something to eat, Jun Chenmo stopped her behavior.
Then, they left there, if it weren't for the distress in Jun Chenmo's eyes, Bei Xiaoqi would have thought that Jun Chenmo was so indifferent.
After coming out, he asked, "You.... Why didn't you let me help the mother and son just now? ”
Jun Chenmo looked at Bei Xiaoqi and said, "Do you know what will happen if you give your mother and son something to eat just now?" Everybody will know that we have money and something, and if we ask for help, we will have something to eat, and then it will be very difficult for us to get out of there. ”
After saying that, he sighed, how could he not pity those victims, but these are also facts, so he can't.
Hearing these words, Bei Xiaoqi was also thinking about these things, indeed, if it was given, then the consequences would be unimaginable.
Bei Xiaoqi sighed secretly, his eyes were full of pity, and his expression couldn't help but be sad. Jun Chenmo looked at her like this, took her into his arms, and quietly hugged her without speaking.
He had been thinking about what he could do to solve this problem.
First of all, the news must be reported to the imperial court, but it will take time, even if it is a quick horse, it is not a short time to bring disaster relief money. Until then, measures must be taken to alleviate the situation and strive to survive until the arrival of disaster relief funds.
Jun Chenmo was thinking about this matter in his heart, and he was also secretly weighing how much time the silver taels he brought could support.
"No, I didn't bring enough to support the arrival of the disaster relief funds, not to mention that the disaster is still further expanding, and there will be more and more victims like today, and when the time comes, the silver I brought will be even more insufficient. Jun Chenmo thought secretly.
"Are we going to go to Lord Lin now?" Bei Xiaoqi's voice came from Jun Chenmo's arms.
Jun Chenmo touched Bei Xiaoqi's head and said softly: "Don't go first, I'll send you back first." ”
"Okay."
Bei Xiaoqi is still a little sullen. In the face of this kind of disaster, everyone seems very small, and can only do what they can do as much as they can.
In the carriage, Jun Chenmo was still thinking about how to provide disaster relief.
Now, no matter what, there's no way to have the best of both worlds. On the one hand, there is not enough silver, and on the other hand, the disaster will get bigger and bigger with time, and if it is not controlled in time, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Bei Xiaoqi was a little sleepy, she leaned on Jun Chenmo's arms and fell asleep shallowly.
Jun Chenmo glanced at Bei Xiaoqi, but decided not to talk to Bei Xiaoqi about these things, so as not to add to her troubles.
Suddenly, the carriage jolted, and Bei Xiaoqi suddenly woke up. She saw Jun Chenmo looking at herself, with a worried look on her face, and touched Jun Chenmo's face with her hand.
"It's okay, it's going to pass. The victims of the disaster will be treated, doesn't it mean that the imperial court will soon allocate new disaster relief funds? Everything will be fine. ”
When Bei Xiaoqi said this, he also tried to wipe the sad face off Jun Chenmo's face with his hands.
Jun Chenmo smiled at Bei Xiaoqi, and also said with her: "Yes, it will be fine." The rest said nothing.
Then take out all the money first, how long can you last, try your best.
Jun Chenmo made a decision in her heart, and this matter had to be hidden from Bei Xiaoqi, otherwise with her thoughts, she would definitely be very worried.
Jun Chenmo sent Bei Xiaoqi back, and it didn't take long for him to go out to check the situation of the disaster, which made Bei Xiaoqi worry for a while.
At dinner in the evening, Jun Chenmo slowly returned.
Bei Xiaoqi was very worried about Jun Chenmo, and he was also worried about the people affected by this famine, and insisted that he would go out with Jun Chenmo tomorrow for disaster relief.
Junchen Mo couldn't resist her, so he had no choice but to take her.
Under Junchen Moqian's instructions, Bei Xiaoqi reluctantly went out with him.
They first came to the camp where they had been yesterday. I finally met here, and I hadn't seen Lord Lin before.
Different from yesterday's tragic situation, today is extraordinarily orderly, everyone is neatly lined up to receive porridge, and it is Lord Lin who is standing in front of the porridge pot.
Jun Chenmo simply said hello to Lord Lin, and Lord Lin hurriedly handed over the matter of porridge to others, and came to Jun Chenmo by himself.
Seeing that Lord Lin wanted to make a move, Jun Chenmo hurriedly stopped him and shook his head at him. Lord Lin saw that it was Bei Xiaoqi standing next to him, and nodded solemnly.
Bei Xiaoqi on the side was very surprised by the current appearance of the disaster camp, how could he still care about the interaction between Lord Lin and Jun Chenmo.
It must be the disaster relief funds of the imperial court, so this famine will definitely be solved soon. Bei Xiaoqi thought about it, and the joy appeared on his face.
As everyone knows, Haoyue, who was standing in the group of victims to maintain order, had a solemn face, and quietly shook her head with Jun Chenmo.
After receiving Haoyue's message, Jun Chenmo said to Bei Xiaoqi: "Haoyue has something to do with me, I'll go see what's going on, you wait for me here, don't run around and hear it." ”
Bei Xiaoqi was a little puzzled when he heard Jun Chenmo's words, in normal times, Jun Chenmo would not let himself stay alone in this kind of place no matter what, but today he put himself aside to discuss things with Haoyue.
There must be something hidden from me!
Bei Xiaoqi decided to quietly follow and listen to what they were going to talk about.
"Lord Wang, the number of victims is too much, if this continues, the silver we bring may not last for five days."
Jun Chenmo clenched his fists, he thought that the silver he brought should be enough to last at least ten days, but he didn't expect that the number of victims of the disaster was really beyond his imagination, and now it was only enough to support less than five days.
What should we do after these five days?
Bei Xiaoqi, who was eavesdropping on the side, couldn't help but exclaim, which made Haoyue and Jun Chenmo notice that someone was eavesdropping on them in the dark. Haoyue roared loudly: "Who! ”
Bei Xiaoqi came out helplessly.
Jun Chenmo frowned, walked quickly in front of Bei Xiaoqi, and said to her, "Didn't you stay where you are?" ”
Bei Xiaoqi felt a little aggrieved, she stared at Jun Chenmo and said, "If I don't come with me, don't you plan to tell me about this matter." ”
Jun Chenmo looked at her silently, and then said slowly: "Yes." ”
