Chapter 4 Are the Victims Still Human Beings?

Granaries, that is, special buildings for storing grain! From the Empire to the Dawn, the common people will have their own granaries.

Grain is the foundation of the country, and in the cities and counties of the empire, the granary is one of the indispensable buildings, and the "grain officer" is the official who is in charge of the granary.

The granaries built in its cities and counties can be divided into: official warehouses and righteous warehouses.

The official warehouse is a granary for the imperial court, which is basically distributed near the capital, like Zhongjing, the capital of the Wanqin Empire, but the Cao Yun cannot be directly sent to Zhongjing, so the official warehouse was set up in Nanjiang City, and the official warehouse is to ensure the food supply and Yulu of the imperial court.

And Yicang is the reserve grain in the famine year, just like the equivalent of the emergency relief department, which aims to ensure social stability and prevent the people from making trouble because of the famine year. Another purpose was to use it for war preparation and provide food and grass for the defending army.

Imperial Armaments

Li Xiangfeng didn't quite understand what Beiyang City Taishou meant, but he understood that Beiyang City Taishou didn't plan to let such refugees enter the city at all, and it didn't matter if they weren't allowed to enter the city, they didn't even have relief food.

The most odious thing is that there are already errand servants who have begun to deport these refugees.

"What does Lord Taishou mean to ignore these refugees and let them live and die?" Li Xiangfeng tried to ask himself, can't he watch so many refugees starve to death, is the "adult" who is the official of one of the parents so hateful?

"Okay! Baron Li is so benevolent, so the official will ask you a few questions?" said Tai Shou confidently.

"Does Baron Lee think these victims are good or bad?"

Strange, Li Xiangfeng looked at Taishou suspiciously, not knowing what he was asking, how could he know who was a good person and a bad person.

"It's a poor man!" replied Li Xiangfeng.

"Since Baron Li doesn't know whether these victims are evil or good, imagine what these victims should do after they enter the city?" asked the Taishou of Beiyang City immediately.

"The government opens a warehouse for disaster relief, and then leads the gentry and wealthy businessmen to donate to the disaster, and ordinary people can also provide appropriate relief!" Li Xiangfeng briefly explained the situation.

Although I was in contact with the scene of the disaster victims pouring into the city, the situation has not yet reached the serious scene seen today, and the other is that the king of Zhennan, Taishou and others also rushed to the scene to prepare for rescue work as soon as possible.

In fact, the most important thing is that Li Xiangfeng, Lei Tian and others are all in Nanyang City, and they can immediately start to operate a convoy to provide food for the refugees to appease the refugees, and Li Xiangfeng has already thought about how to help the victims at that time, naturally because he had funds to supply and manpower to drive.

The situation was far from being there, and it was necessary to enter the city.

Li Xiangfeng knew that something would happen to the victims when they entered the city, but he didn't think that something serious would happen, but even if something happened, could he just watch tens of thousands of victims starve to death?

"If you enter the city's righteous warehouse and have no food to put in, the gentry and wealthy merchants have no money to donate, and the ordinary people have no food to eat, what can you do to help the victims?"

With a serious expression, his eyes looked towards the south and said, "This official eats the imperial court, and he must relieve the worries of the saint, but has Baron Li ever thought that when these victims enter the city and there is a rebellion, how should I protect the people of Beiyang City?"

Beiyang City's Taishou words landed soundly, so that Li Xiangfeng didn't react for a while, and looked at Taishou in his eyes

It's a little puzzled.

"Could it be that the entire Beiyang City can't even get the food to relieve the victims?" Li Xiangfeng didn't believe that Beiyang City, one of the four famous towns and border cities in the empire, couldn't even take out such a little food.

Although there are many victims outside, not to mention tens of thousands of people, but just to relieve such a little food, if there is no granary in a city, Li Xiangfeng will not believe it.

"Yes! And then?" Beiyang City Taishou obviously guessed that Li Xiangfeng would ask this, and blurted out without thinking, the meaning is very clear, after the relief is over, then what?

"Then we will arrange for the victims of the disaster, so that they can bring a bite of food to the victims!" Beiyang City Taishou is not a nonsense to ask, "relief, relief" first rescue, then help! Otherwise, if you keep saving, the victims will always be disaster victims.

"How to arrange it?" Taishou seemed to intend to ask Li Xiangfeng to the end, without giving Li Xiangfeng a chance to breathe.

Several officials and officials who cooperated with the Taishou next to him looked at Li Xiangfeng, their eyes were full of mockery, and there was a strange color on their faces, which made Yu Yan feel very uncomfortable.

The cold and fierce gaze swept over everyone, and those officials and officials avoided their gazes one after another.

If you talk about the old way of conversation and the obscurity of officialdom, maybe Yu Yan is not an opponent, and even Ken Ben is not qualified to be an opponent, not even a rookie.

But if they looked at Yu Yan with eye contact, these veteran officials and officials would not be able to look directly at Yu Yan for a few breaths, and the kind of coldness that seemed to be poured directly into the soul was unbearable for anyone.

Not to mention that Shangshu's daughter, who had been on a blind date with Yu Yan, was scared and cried, just glancing at Yu Yan, this is really not someone maliciously damaging Yu Yan's reputation, this is just a real thing.

"This seems to be your Taishou's business, right?" Of course, Li Xiangfeng heard the smell of ridicule in Taishou's tone, and kicked the ball over again.

"Hehehehehe. ”

Beiyang City Taishou stroked his beard again and laughed. Then he said with a righteous face: "Since Baron Li is dispatched by the order of the Holy Lord, then this official may as well tell the Lord about the situation here." ”

Li Xiangfeng was indeed ordered by the emperor to go to the Northern Ice Field, but the matter of coming to the Northern Ice Field to check the victims of the war was not in the emperor's order.

This is Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan's idea after they saw a large number of refugees fleeing from the desert on the road flocking to Beiyang City in the air, anyway, going to the northern ice field also has the task of finding out whether the alien race will take the opportunity to make trouble, so it is also beneficial to investigate the situation in the war area casually.

And when Li Xiangfeng met with the officials of Beiyang City, he intervened in a grand manner under the guise of the emperor's dispatch and the task of acting cheaply.

Beiyang City Taishou was naturally convinced, because the token held by Li Xiangfeng was indeed the emperor's private token, and this kind of token was not only extremely difficult to imitate, but also the cost of imitation was too great! No one would take the risk of the Zhulian Nine Clans to imitate the token, and the most important thing was that this token did not have the right to dispatch troops.

"This official told you that it is a taboo for officials to release the victims of the disaster into the city!" When the latter two words were spoken, Tai Shou deliberately accentuated his tone to remind Li Xiangfeng to pay attention to this matter. Then he said slowly: "The victims of the disaster will enter the city to burn, kill, loot, loot, and smash! Even kill people and set fires, and storm the government may do things, and 100 percent will bring very serious consequences to the city, which is an existence that no qualified taishou can allow!" It seems that the taishou is educating a new official how to be an official.

looked at Li Xiang, who was already deep in thought

Feng, Yu Yan, and the Taishou of Beiyang City are obviously a little proud, in the end, they are young and careless, and they don't even understand the most basic way of being an official, and they are still talking about disaster relief here.

"There is grain in the granary of Beiyang City! There is indeed grain! But it is not used to supply these disaster victims, it is used to protect the entire city! Baron Li knows about the disaster harvest in the entire northwest, central north, and northeast regions for many years?" Tai Shou furrowed his eyebrows, and asked Li Xiangfeng in a tone like accountability.

"Princes like you who are rich in the south naturally don't know!" Taishou said lightly, and Taishou seemed to be very resistant to these nobles who relied on their status to obtain great power.

"These grains are military rations, and they are war rations sent by human fate!" Speaking of this, Taishou has clearly hinted at his thoughts, even if all the victims outside the city starve to death, the war rations will not be appropriated at all, because this is related to the safety of the entire city.

And the war seems to be burning more and more fiercely, according to the Taishou estimate, it won't be long before it really burns to Beiyang City, so the Taishou will not care about the lives of the victims, and insist on going his own way.

Another incident was naturally reported, otherwise Taishou would not have the courage to regard the lives of tens of thousands of victims as child's play.

Beiyang City Taishou talked a lot with a nose and eyes, and it still sounded very righteous and righteous, and he understood the righteousness.

But Li Xiangfeng still feels that this treatment of the victims is too unfair.

"Taishou does have a reason for saying this, but I am not a parent official with a height and weight like Taishou!" Li Xiangfeng focused on raising the three words "parent official", and then said with words: "I'm just a baron who doesn't enter the stream, and I see that I naturally don't have too much foresight, but I understand that I don't care about the lives of tens of thousands of people, and I can't be convincing in law and reason!"

Li Xiangfeng's words at this time had clearly revealed a little anger, and the dignified officials who disregarded the lives of tens of thousands of people were ashamed of their actions.

"Human life?" Taishou laughed with some contempt, walked slowly in front of Li Xiangfeng, and said softly at the moment when he passed by Li Xiangfeng: "Baron Li thinks that the victims of the disaster are still human?"

After speaking, Taishou waved his sleeves and strode out of the palace.

"Two lords, forgive the official for important matters, and I don't have the kung fu to accompany the two!

The titles of the former baron, viscount, and the latter lord made Li Xiangfeng's heart surging with inexplicable anger, which was clearly laughing at his humble status, although he was holding the emperor's token, but in the eyes of these people, it seemed to be a feeling of "dog fighting people".

Crunchy!

Li Xiangfeng clenched his fists with a crisp sound, a flush appeared on his neck, and his eyes instantly shot out a furious light, but it was fleeting.

That's right! I am indeed not qualified enough to command the disaster relief, nor am I qualified enough to mobilize to open warehouses and release grain, in the final analysis, in Beiyang City, I am nothing.

Hurriedly walked out of the Taishou Mansion, and the somewhat desolate atmosphere on the street was not much different from Li Xiangfeng's mood.

Not to mention the victims, I'm afraid that it won't be long before the residents in the city will become new victims, a gust of cold wind blew, making Li Xiangfeng couldn't help but feel a chill.

Both hands raised the collar of the wrapped cotton coat, and the whole head was eager to pierce into the clothes.

"Go to the grain store and have a look! I can help somewhat!" Li Xiangfeng had no choice but to buy some food from his own pocket to alleviate the famine of the victims.
