Chapter 81: "Sincerity"
Li Mu frowned and asked, "Are there any casualties?"
The guard said, "The soldiers and the refugees have been injured a few, but they are only minor injuries, and they are not in the way. ”
The refugees were about to starve to death if they couldn't eat food, and naturally they were not afraid of the spears and knives of the soldiers.
Everyone was afraid that this matter would make a bigger fuss, so they hurriedly came to report to the prince and wanted to ask the prince to decide.
Xue Chengfei was busy when he heard the guard's words and walked out of the house. He had a calm little face, and the appearance on his face was not very good.
Xue Chengfei had heard about the disaster in the palace before, but the ministers did not say that the disaster was serious, but sang praises, saying that God blessed, the affected town has been safe and sound, and how the people are living in peace and contentment, which is better than before the disaster, and so on.
What a ridiculous statement, and Xue Chengfei felt even more ridiculous, he actually believed the words of those ministers before, and thought that the affected town was really fine.
When he was forced to escape from the palace and fled all the way here, he realized how far the truth deviated from those rhetoric. The scene in front of him completely shocked Xue Chengfei.
The town was desolate, the food was long gone, the roots and bark of the trees had been eaten, and it seemed that it was not a cruel thing to eat the child, but whenever someone was starved to death, everyone would scramble to divide his body.
Xue Chengfei thought of the scenes he had seen with his own eyes, and couldn't help but clench his fists. Those ministers who sang praises and talked about virtue were only afraid that they would be implicated in disasters and lose their official positions and money. So they tried to hide their conscience from the people in the affected areas.
Li Mu listened to the guard's words, and did not speak immediately for a while.
This is a thorny problem, if the refugees from the Xue Kingdom are allowed to come in and give them food to eat, then the food in their hands will be used up faster, and the food problem will be even tighter, maybe the food borrowed from the Sun family will not be enough.
Chu Yunxi opened his mouth at this time, and said, "Lord Wang, let's let them come over, it's all human life." Let them come, and after eating, organize them to build roads, and if the roads can be repaired sooner, then the problem of food will be solved. And not only in Dali, the benevolence and kindness of the prince will also spread to other countries, which is also a good thing. ”
Li Mu said, "Since the lady has said so, let the soldiers let them in, and organize the food to bring them away, so that there will be no chaos." ”
"Yes." The guard said.
Chu Yunxi said, "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”
Li Mu smiled and said, "Yunxi Xie Ben Wang, what is the lady's kindness, this is the king's luck." ”
Chu Yunxi said, "Don't worry, the problem of food, Yunxi will definitely find a way to solve it." ”
"No," Li Mudao said, "This king insisted on bringing his wife here, and he made his wife suffer so much. Now that there is a shortage of food, how can I make my wife distressed again, this king will definitely solve it. ”
There are a lot of refugees in Xue Kingdom, and they have already made up their minds to pay attention, anyway, they are dying on the left and right, and it is better to die when they are full, so they desperately rushed into the border soldiers, regardless of life and death.
And they didn't expect that the king of Yingchuan would order them to enter Chongfengdu, and they would also give them food to eat. The refugees in Dali can eat whatever food they can eat, and everything is equal.
The refugees of Xue Kingdom were very surprised, but they didn't have time to think about anything, and they all followed the soldiers to get food to eat.
They thought it was a circle, but soon they all ate white food, drank a mouthful of water, and had a place to sit in the wind and rain, which was a dream they couldn't imagine during this time.
Chu Yunxi stood at the door, looking at the scrawny refugees, she heard a voice, and looked back, it turned out to be Xue Chengfei who walked out.
Xue Chengfei had a small face, the expression on his face was very complicated, as if he was stupid but could cry at any time, which made people feel really distressed to watch.
Chu Yunxi knew that he might be blaming himself, so he walked over and reached out and patted the top of his head, but he didn't say anything, patted him and left.
The team that went to Sun's house to borrow grain came back in the afternoon. Of course, there are many twists and turns, how could the Sun family be willing to hand over all the grain, it was all their money, and they took the grain, as if they were cutting them with a knife.
However, Li Mu asked people to bring evidence of their private sale of salt and iron, and the guards also said that the evidence of the prince's order was conclusive, and if the Sun family was stubborn, they could be cut first and then played.
The people of the Sun family originally relied on the support of the Queen Mother, so they were not afraid of them. But when they flashed their knives, they instantly got up, and if their heads were gone, there would be nothing left.
Around the end of the evening, the team carrying grain from Sun's house came, and the food was much more than they brought for disaster relief, and the Sun family seemed to be a bottomless pit.
Chu Yunxi was sitting in the yard, taking a rare rest, and was holding Xiao Mumu to smooth it. Xiao Mumu heard the movement outside and "whined" twice.
The guards walked in from outside, saluted Chu Yunxi respectfully, and said, "Princess." ”
"What's the matter," Chu Yunxi said.
The guard said, "It's from the Sun family, and I want to invite the prince and princess to the mansion for a banquet." ”
The guards not only brought the Sun family's grain, but also brought the Sun family's "sincerity".
The people of the Sun family softened and politely transported the grain out, and said that they didn't know Mount Tai before, and they didn't know that the king of Yingchuan had brought the princess here, so there was no hospitality. Now that I knew that the prince and princess had arrived, and wanted to atone for their sins, they invited Li Mu and Chu Yunxi to sit in the house, set up a feast, and gave them a reception.
When Chu Yunxi heard this, what kind of feast was set up for no reason, I was afraid that it would be a Hongmen banquet, and he didn't follow his good intentions at all.
Li Mu was leading someone to count the remaining grain in the warehouse, and he didn't know the news, so Chu Yunxi said, "I know, I'll go and tell the prince." ”
"Yes." The guard said.
Chu Yunxi handed Xiao Mumu to Manhe and Shui Cui to watch, and went to the warehouse to find Li Mu.
Li Mu's arm is not good yet, so he can't do any physical work, but it's still okay to help count on the side.
Li Mu suddenly saw Chu Yunxi coming to look for him, so he put down the work in his hand and greeted him, saying, "Why is Madam here, but I miss this king"
Chu Yunxi was helpless for a while, and said, "Lord Wang, there is something serious. ”
"Serious business" Li Mu's voice was very gentle, and he said with a smile, "Yunxi misses me, isn't this a serious matter, how does this king think, it's very serious."
