Chapter 531: Exploiting the Disaster Victims

The victims have all fled, and now they don't know where to hide, and the last general has already sent people to search for them. ”

Xue Hua arched his hand towards Qian Qianqian, and looked very distressed, they guarded day and night, but they did not prevent the victims, and those soldiers who escorted grain and grass were also very frustrated.

"Now in this Xiao country, are there so many disaster victims?"

Qian Qianqian had transported grain and grass before, so she knew how much grain and grass she had transported to the army, and so much grain had been robbed, which showed that there were a lot of victims.

"Originally, there weren't many, but somehow, they've all popped up recently, and I wonder if the victims of the disaster in several nearby cities have gathered and ambushed here."

Xue Hua was also a little puzzled, Xiao Mohan had told him before that he must pay more attention to the victims outside, as long as there are disaster victims, he must take out food in time to relieve them, and he must not starve the people to death, Xue Hua has always done so, so although Xiao Guo is fighting at the moment, there are not many victims around Dingyuan City.

"Then eighty percent of them are troublemakers."

Qian Qianqian thought about it in her heart, her face turned cold, Xiao Heng must have left a hand before going to the General's Mansion, otherwise he would not have known that it was a dead end, and he would have thrown himself into the net.

"If this batch of grain and grass can't be transported to General Xiao, will there still be grain and grass?"

Qian Qianqian had an intuition that since this batch of grain and grass had been snatched away, there was basically no chance to take it back, so she had to make another plan.

"There is only this batch of grain in Lianzhou City, I don't know if there is any grain and grass from the imperial court."

Xue Hua bowed slightly, and his face was full of speculation, the capital was thousands of miles away from here, so whether the capital could bring grain and grass over there, and how much else could be transported, none of them knew.

"I see, how much grain is still in this Dingyuan City?"

Qian Qianqian knew very well that the grain in the capital would not be able to be transported, since Xiao Mohan asked Mu Tianyue to also transport a batch of grain and grass, it means that Xiao Mohan was sure that the grain and grass in the imperial court were not so sufficient, and it would not last long at all.

"There is only a little bit of last year's grain, and now the whole of Dingyuan City is tightening their belts to live, and there is no more food."

Xue Hua also understood what Qian Qianqian meant, his expression was very helpless, if he could, he also wanted to transfer the food out and send it to Xiao Mohan, but in that case, Dingyuan City was afraid that he would starve to death.

"No matter what, we have to save the emergency first, General Xiao's situation is the most critical, each of us gritted our teeth again, save a province, and next year, there will definitely be a turnaround."

Qian Qianqian still insisted, not that she didn't care about the lives of the people, but she wanted to help Xiao Mohan, and if she let Yang Guo make a comeback, Xiao Guo was afraid that she would have to suffer, so helping Xiao Mohan was also helping Xiao Guo.

"Well, the last general will send someone to dispatch and transfer half of the government's grain stockpile, but despite this, the grain and grass sent to General Xiao is still not enough, and those grains and grass should only be enough for the army to eat for seven or eight days."

Xue Hua admired Qian Qianqian very much, so he obeyed her, but this Dingyuan City was not big in the first place, there were not many people in the city, and there was naturally not much grain in the city, where could Xiao Mohan's hundreds of thousands of troops be supplied?

"If you can hold on for one more day, General Xiao will lead the troops to fight in the front, you can't go hungry, we don't go to war, starving is nothing, as long as we can save our lives."

Qian Qianqian is very sure, they are in this Dingyuan City, there are many ways to save their lives, but Xiao Mohan and they are different, they can't let them eat the last meal without the next meal.

Xue Hua did not refuse, and soon sent someone to do it, and these soldiers searched for a whole day, only found a few lost victims, the grain had indeed been eaten by them, and they didn't know where the rest of the food went.

All of them were skinny, ragged, and their eyes were half-bulging with hunger, and they looked very horrible, and they looked like they hadn't filled their stomachs for a long time, so when they saw food, they didn't care about it, but only stuffed it into their mouths.

Xue Hua's people interrogated for a long time, and finally knew that these victims were indeed not from Dingyuan City, but from the south and east, and they had suffered from the war, as long as they could fill their stomachs, they were willing to die immediately.

"This Dingyuan City is just a small frontier city, there is a shortage of food, you want food, you should run to the capital, how did you come here?"

Qian Qianqian walked over and glanced at these people up and down, with a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

In the entire Xiao country, the capital is the richest, although there was chaos for a while, but the matter has calmed down, even if these victims dare not go to the capital, they should also go to other rich places in the Xiao country, this Dingyuan City is the desert north city, they should not come here anyway.

"We were going to the capital at first, but the capital was also fighting, and someone told us to go north, saying that the north was peaceful, and there was food, and there was a place to live.

One of the victims explained, staggering and not seeming to be able to stand still.

"Do you know that you are robbing the military rations that are being sent to the front?"

Qian Qianqian's brows were furrowed, her face sank, her tone became heavy, her eyes were lowered, her eyes were flashing with a hint of fierceness, and there seemed to be a knife hanging above her head, which would fall on the heads of these victims at any time.

"So what? We can't fill our stomachs, so what kind of food does it matter? This Xiao country has been fighting, and I don't know how long it will be, should we people starve to death? ”

"That's right, the court cares about human life, regardless of our life or death, we have to find a way to live for ourselves."

Those victims were boiling, and they all took it for granted, the scene was uncontrollable for a while, and Xue Hua had no choice but to use force.

Qian Qianqian looked at the expressions of these people, and probably knew in her heart, it seems that these people should be real disaster victims, but they were just being used, so they did such a foolish thing.

"The court did not abandon you, let alone disregard people's lives, it was you who did not seek the protection of the court, but took it upon yourself to rob the military rations, which is not to be blamed on anyone."

Qian Qianqian raised her head and tried her best to appease the emotions of these people, but they didn't seem to buy it, and they all seemed to have a deep grudge against the court.

"We don't believe your nonsense, if it weren't for the heavy taxes of the imperial court, those corrupt officials and corrupt officials oppressed us, why would we be here? We have also been to the official mansion, but we have all been driven out by those officials, those dog officials, who only care about their own food and spicy food, when did they care about our life and death? ”

"That is, we have become disaster victims, all of which were caused by the imperial court, and we fight at every turn, and we can't live? If you want to kill you, you will be killed, anyway, our lives are not worth anything. ”

The victims are all indignant, they are not afraid of death at all, anyway, there is no food, they will die sooner or later, if they can be a full ghost, it will be worth the trip.

Qian Qianqian didn't expect that the contradictions between the upper and lower levels of the Xiao State would be so serious, it seems that the local government has to take care of it, but now the war is scorching, and the capital is not very peaceful, if you want to send someone to investigate, it should not be now.

"Since you are all disaster victims, the government has the responsibility to resettle you, and you are forced to grab military rations, so we will not pursue this matter, since you have arrived in Dingyuan City, then please rest assured that the government will never abandon you."

Qian Qianqian's words changed, and her attitude softened, now this contradiction cannot continue to intensify, otherwise if it is used by someone with a heart, I am afraid that Xiao Guo will have to be in chaos for a while.

Xue Hua stood aside, listening to Qian Qianqian's words, his face changed, so many victims, if they were all resettled in Dingyuan City, how much food and houses would be needed, and it would also bring a lot of trouble to Dingyuan City.

Qian Qianqian turned her head to look at Xue Hua, her eyes were full of determination, since she had already said this, there was no reason to take it back, so Xue Hua was willing to do it, and if she didn't want to, she had to do it.

"General Xue, these victims will be handed over to you, if you find the victims again, they will all be brought into Dingyuan City, so that they can be resettled, and they can't be allowed to be disaster victims all the time."

Qian Qianqian strode over and spoke slowly, her tone was gentle, but full of strength, Xue Hua's face couldn't help but be a little ugly.

"Miss Qian, Dingyuan City is not having a good time now, if we recruit all these victims to the city, our government will not be able to resist it, so let's let them go back wherever they come from."

Xue Hua bowed slightly, and said a little helplessly, if it was according to him, these victims would all deserve to die, anyway, robbing the military rations is also a capital crime, just deal with it together, save trouble in the future.

"They came here from thousands of miles away, and they finally saved their lives, you see them, they can't stand on their feet, how can they go back? You just put them in, didn't you hear what they just said about the government? ”

Qian Qianqian was very insistent, so Xue Hua was helpless, he didn't dare to disobey Qian Qianqian's order, so he could only nod and agree.

It's just that half of the food in Dingyuan City has been reduced, and so many victims have poured in, it is not a simple matter to deal with, although the matter is decided now, but there should be more variables in the future.

"Listen, all the people of the disaster, remember that you are the victims of the disaster, and now forgive your capital crimes, and let you go into the city, so that you may be resettled, but you must obey the orders of the government, and do not run around, for the government will guarantee your safety and fill your stomachs."

Xue Hua stood in front and spoke coldly in front of everyone, he was the guard of Dingyuan City and the biggest official in the city, as long as he decided on this matter, there would be no room for others to speak.

"Really? Great......"

The victims couldn't have imagined that Xue Hua and Qian Qianqian would make such a decision, they all thought that they would die this time, but they didn't expect that not only did they not kill them, but they also had to settle them alive, which was like a pie.

"Where is there such a good thing? Maybe the government is tricking us, just to lure us into the city, and then kill us, don't believe them, they are all a bunch of dog officials, and there is no good thing. ”

"That's right, I can't believe a word of the government's nonsense, they must want to lure us all out, everyone just stays here, and doesn't go anywhere, so that their tricks can't succeed."

Soon there was opposition among the victims, and the incitement became suspicious.
