Chapter 82 - Resolving the Crisis

Sun Hao smiled bitterly, opened the letter and handed it to Luo Yinying in front of him to read, and at the same time he told them the ins and outs of this matter directly. After Feng Yuchong and Luo Yinying read this letter and learned the ins and outs of it, an indescribable hope was suddenly rekindled in their hearts, this may be their rare opportunity, they still have a certain understanding of Princess Rong Le, knowing that the current Holy Emperor Empress, Bu Yuehan's biological mother is not an ordinary woman, but a strange woman who can lead the army and control the courtiers. Looking at this letter over and over again, Feng Yuchong and Luo Yinying couldn't see any flaws or omissions, but saw Princess Rongle's enthusiasm and expectation for this cooperation.

Gently holding the fragrant tea in his hand, Feng Yuchong took another sip to relieve some of his current nervousness, and he continued to analyze the reliability of this letter. "According to common sense, Princess Rong Le Bu Lian is the sister of the former Emperor Guangwujun, and now she is the empress of the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao, and the mother of Zheng Yi and Bu Yuehan, the current princes of the country. We have all heard some stories about her, and naturally we know that these princesses are not very human, not only do they have courage and courage, but they also have the ability to understand people and govern the country and the army, which is rarely possessed by women. I do not doubt that she will be able to do what she says in this epistle, and it is not difficult for her. But what I suspect is that this could be a conspiracy of the Holy Emperor, deliberately unleashing rumors to make us think that there is a chance to pull out the Dark Legion's important help to seal the war first, but in fact it is a trap deliberately set against us?"

Feng Yuchong generally deduced that there was no problem, Sun Hao took the letter and read it carefully again, and on the whole he didn't see any problems. He explained: "Actually, if there is a choice, I also think that if we rush to cooperate with Eldest Princess Rongle, I am afraid that it will lead to a great crisis, and it may even make the Huicheng and Qi Kingdom, which we have worked so hard to stabilize so far, this consequence is unacceptable to us in any case." It's just that we don't seem to have the right to continue with the choice now......"

Feng Yuchong was about to answer, when suddenly there was a violent shout from outside the originally quiet county office, and the people rushed to tell each other and shouted hoarsely: "The grain is here, the life-saving food is here! Come and grab it!" The voices and attention of the three young people were immediately attracted by the sound, and they immediately realized that once the people rioted because of the snatching of food, this would inevitably be another inevitable catastrophe. "Quick, we need to go out and have a look!"

Sun Hao, Feng Yuchong and Luo Yinying got up and jumped out of the main hall of the county government, and the guards around them were a little puzzled to see that these three officials who were currently the highest-ranking officials in the city suddenly rushed out of the door, and these guards hurriedly picked up their weapons and followed behind them.

In the central block of the city, the officials of the Qi State, led by Qi Min, an important official of the Qi State, dispatched hundreds of bags of grain brought back by Feng Yuchong here and began to disperse and distribute them around. Originally, Qi Min expected that he had mobilized four hundred troops to preside over the distribution of grain, and there should not be any big problems. But after all, he is young, and he has not actually experienced this crisis, the dynasty he lived in was the best period of Xuan Lejun's rule, and most of the people lived in abundance and lived in peace and contentment, but they did not expect that in this stormy and turbulent period, the people would do whatever it took to get life-saving food, even if it was their own lives.

Qi Min followed Sun Hao's instructions and the food distribution they had drawn up in advance, first leaving a part of the grain to ensure that the army could survive this winter, and then distributing rations according to the population of each household, so as to ensure that the New Year was spent as safe and sound as possible, and after the spring of the next year, he would save money and reclaim the land, and he might be able to barely be self-sufficient. It's just that when distributing food to the people, many unexpected things happened to Qi Min.

Feng Yuchong used the Instrument Soul Wind Feather Fan's Instrument Soul Six Storm Convergence to transport back a total of five hundred and twenty bags of grain, each bag of grain was a package hoarded by the Qi State's standard grain, and although the total amount of grain of 520,000 stone was not much, it was enough to solve the immediate need. Of these, 300,000 grains were distributed to the 20,000 regular troops currently stationed in the city and the officials who remained in the city. The remaining more than 200,000 stone grain will be distributed according to the current population and permanent number of more than 40,000 people in the city, according to household registration. But what Qi Min didn't expect was that these people had already suffered from food shortages, because in the face of the Dark Army's arduous battle, the food stored in their homes was no longer enough. I thought that Qi Guo could find hope for continued survival after reoccupying the city, but I never thought that they themselves were also facing the crisis of food shortage, although they barely got the food brought back by Feng Yuchong and Luo Yinying at the risk of death, what Qi Min didn't expect was that these people already had an almost pathological desire for food, although he repeatedly asked and even did not hesitate to send troops to directly forcibly control it, but these people had already disregarded life and death, and they all knew that if they could not seize food, they would inevitably face death, and according to such a distribution, there must be some families who could not get food supplies。 Rather than starve to death without food at that time, it is better to grab it now, maybe there will be a chance.

Qi Min didn't expect such a situation to happen at all, and his mobilization of troops could not suppress these people who were pouring in everywhere, although the officers and soldiers had already deployed precautions around, but this was not enough to stop these people who came up to rob food like a frenzy. These people didn't care about what was going on around them, they didn't have anything else in their eyes except the food in front of them, and Qi Min's own prestige was not enough for these people to have no objections to him. Even if Qi Min repeatedly claimed that he was acting on the orders of the Governor, the people did not buy it, and even some people were deeply suspicious of it.

And just when the scene was almost out of control, the three young people Sun Hao, Luo Yinying and Feng Yuchong, who Qi Min had been waiting for, had finally arrived here now, Sun Hao had established a certain status and prestige in the city after getting along with the people and the soldiers during this time, and he was obviously more effective than Qi Min. And Feng Yuchong and Luo Yinying are also members of the six-member ruling council, and their status itself is that of the governors of various places appointed by Xuan Lejun, and their status is actually much higher than Qi Min. At this time, the three of them came here, and some of the people around them who did not participate in the food grabbing at the beginning suddenly hesitated a little, whether it was a wise choice to continue to participate in the food grabbing now.

"Stop it!" the three young men came here, and Feng Yuchong and Sun Hao immediately shouted loudly.

Qi Min is anxious to stop the people from grabbing food, but it is impossible for the soldiers to really do anything to these people, because this will directly send away the last of the people's hearts, and they will finally be able to get the support of all the people in the city. He was frowning and didn't know what to do, just when Sun Hao and Feng Yuchong arrived, his attention was directly transferred to Feng Yuchong and Sun Hao, and he couldn't help but feel happy, he finally had a way to deal with the crisis in front of him.

Most of the people around knew Sun Hao, and knew this young man who had now been named the governor of Huicheng, and under Sun Hao's hoarse shouts one after another, the originally chaotic people near the central street finally quieted down, "Everyone calm down, I'm Sun Hao, can I explain the situation to you for the time being?"

The people of Huicheng in the city still buy Sun Hao's account, because Sun Hao has really done his best to pay blood, sweat and energy for the people of Qi during this time, and has been helping them as much as possible and leading them to a brighter future, although it is still in the stage of heavy responsibility and a long way to go, but this does not prevent the people from trusting Sun Hao more, and they have begun to gradually quiet down, and this face still has to be given to Sun Hao.

Sun Hao saw that the people around him were temporarily quiet, so he signaled Qi Min to temporarily stop distributing food, and he stood on the temporary platform and shouted to the people around him: " Ladies and gentlemen, I am Sun Hao, I think everyone knows that our Qi country is now facing a crisis of food shortage, and we have already thought of many ways, but in the end, it was Feng Yuchong, the leader of our ruling council, who was also the governor of Ruocheng personally appointed by His Majesty Xuan Lejun, and he led the other council members to the north to venture to pursue the dark legion, and finally brought the food back safe and sound. We all know that now facing the attack of the Dark Army, the entire Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent is facing a huge crisis, and please believe in us for the time being! Give us some time, we will definitely be able to find a way to reverse this situation! Please believe in us!"

Sun Hao bowed deeply to the people, Luo Yinying and Feng Yuchong beside him looked at Sun Hao with complicated eyes, they all knew that when they went to the north to pursue the dark army and risk retrieving the food, it must have been very difficult for Sun Hao to lead the overall situation in the city alone, from the current actions and performances, Sun Hao seems to have grown a lot, and he is more cautious and serious when facing difficulties alone. Now this kind of move is also a move that really puts the safety of the people first, which also makes them secretly admire.

The surrounding people looked at each other and pondered, among them, the few people who took the lead in the most ferocious trouble also unconsciously quieted down, some of the older people took the lead and began to line up step by step, and then the surrounding people began to consciously line up, compared to Qi Min, they were still willing to believe that Sun Hao and Feng Yuchong Luo Yinying would bring them a brighter future.

Sun Hao breathed a sigh of relief gently, he pulled Luo Yinying beside him, and then said to Qi Min: "Start to continue to arrange the distribution of food, there must be no mistake." ”

Qi Min nodded, turned around and instructed the soldiers around him: "Verify the population of each household, distribute food according to the population of each household, and try to ensure that all of them can get relief food." ”

"Yes!"
