Chapter 25: The Mystery of the Refugees
"Jiuyuan County?!" his eyes suddenly widened, this place was the Great Qin Empire!!
Lin Fan, who was forced by his family to recite all the place names since he was a child, was almost stunned for a few seconds before searching for the place where this county belonged
Great Qin Empire, the strongest empire among the four empires in the northwest of Shenzhou!!
"No wonder Du Lao wants to arrange this task for me, it turns out that after calculating it, I still can't escape the palm of his hand. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Lin Fanton was speechless, it turned out that his foothold, Du Lao had already planned
Worthy of an old fox!
As soon as his eyes froze, his figure suddenly appeared ten meters away, getting closer and closer to the city gate.
At the gate of Jiuyuan County, soldiers are driving a group of refugees, and this group of refugees is also begging the sergeant guarding the gate.
Lin Fan, who had just arrived outside the city gate, was a little puzzled when he saw this situation
The Great Qin Empire is the most powerful of the four empires, even the Heavenly Wind Empire has never had a famine, and there will be a famine in Great Qin?
Not far from the city gate, a group of caravans also watched the scene of refugees attacking soldiers as much as Lin Fan.
Lin Fan's footsteps flowed and walked towards the caravan
"Huh!"
In a few breaths, Lin Fan was about to arrive at the caravan's place, and at this time, a middle-aged man on the caravan carriage slowly walked out, and his eyes glanced at Lin Fan's direction.
"Shaoxia is good at footwork! It seems to be like ordinary walking, but in fact, he has done ninety-nine eighty-one movements, Teng Xiang's technique, can be practiced at this age, Shaoxia must be the dragon and phoenix among people!"
Lin Fan's eyes are a mi, a little guarded, the middle-aged eyesight is amazing, even the number of steps of his footwork can be counted, he will definitely not be a mortal.
In addition to being on guard, he was also secretly frightened, the Great Qin Empire was really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the young people at the beginning, and now the middle-aged, they all exude a dangerous aura all over their bodies, the only difference is that the youthful breath is a little sharp, and the middle-aged is like a warm volcano, seemingly easy-going, but the power is devastating.
"Young man?" said the middle-aged man.
"Mu Chongfan, so many refugees recently. ”
Lin Fan was a little vigilant, the name he said to the young man just now was Mu Chongfan, and now he told this name to the middle-aged, naturally to protect his true identity.
The middle-aged man shook his head, and sighed a little: "Shaoxia is not a person from Daqin, since a few days ago, the western part of Daqin has been plagued by natural disasters, and all crops have turned into dry grass overnight, but the strange thing is that the weather was very cool in those days, and the granary of the government was too humid to spoil most of the grain, this situation came too suddenly, and the court should be trying to find a way to remedy it." ”
Lin Fan kept what the middle-aged man said in his heart, the state affairs of Great Qin, this is also a thing, and the tasks given by Du Lao have also been completed.
"Then why don't these soldiers let the refugees in?" Lin Fan asked, pointing to the city gate.
The middle-aged man waved his hand, shook his head and sighed: "It's not that I won't let in, but the refugees in the city, there are too many......"
"Many?"
The territory of Daqin is huge, there are seventeen counties and counties, each county can accommodate hundreds of millions of people will not be crowded, there are many refugees, how many can there be, how can there be a situation that cannot be accommodated!
"Shaoxia doesn't know, this catastrophe is the entire West, the vast Great Qin, and there are so many people in the West, and Jiuyuan County is the only gateway from the West to the East, and the number of refugees who enter every day is even more incalculable, and it is normal for there to be a lot of people. ”
"Then why don't you dredge the staff?"
After the refugees enter Jiuyuan County, they will get food distributed by the imperial court, and with food, who would want to go further away from starvation, staying in Jiuyuan County is the best choice. ”
"But that would only hurt more people. ”
"The refugees who enter the city don't think about this, why should they starve when they have food and drink, for them the life and death of those refugees outside the city has nothing to do with them, and how worthless is human nature in the midst of the catastrophe. The middle-aged man sighed.
Lin Fan also moved slightly in his heart, yes, in the catastrophe, how worthless human nature is.
Life is so cheap.
"Wouldn't it be that there would be countless people starving to death?"
The middle-aged man grinned: "Now that population control is being implemented in the city, as many refugees go out today, as many refugees can be let in, and there are many refugees with noble personalities, and people continue to go out these days, but today's quota seems to be full." ”
Lin Fan's heart was also unconsciously warm.
"Mu Shaoxia, aren't you going in yet?" asked the middle-aged man.
"I don't have a passthrough token, but I can get in with my skills. ”
After observing just now, Lin Fan found that everyone who cleared the customs had a token in their hands, but he didn't have it.
The middle-aged man smiled, looked at Lin Fan's package and said, "There is a token in Mu Shaoxia's package, and this matter must be hidden from Li?"
"I have?" Lin Fan immediately opened his package, and a white token was stored on the top of the package, and the token was printed with a Qin character with ancient meaning.
When the middle-aged man saw the white token, he was shocked: "Mu Shaoxia's token level is not low." ”
"Level?"
"The Great Qin Token is divided into nine grades, which are black, blue, purple, red, white, blue, bronze, silver, and yellow. Among them, black is the second, yellow is the highest, each token represents a different level, and your white corresponds to the viscount. You say your token level is not high. The middle-aged man explained.
"Aha, that's tall enough, roar, I'll go into town later." Lin Fan was really happy, he didn't have to think about it, this token was definitely given to him by Du Lao secretly, but the token level was so high, so he could pretend to be forced?
"Where are you going to go after Mu Shaoxia enters the city? If it's okay, then come to my mansion as a guest?" asked the middle-aged man.
"I still have something to do, so I won't bother for now, and I will definitely visit in person later. Lin Fan rejected the middle-aged man's suggestion, although the middle-aged man could talk to him, but after all, he was not acquainted, so naturally he couldn't go to the middle-aged home.
"Let's go...... then"
The middle-aged man returned to the carriage, and the entire caravan began to operate, and Lin Fan also followed the caravan forward.
――――
"Come on, take out the token, otherwise you won't be allowed to pass!"
The soldier was drunk, his eyebrows fierce, and his mood had been messed up by the refugees just now.
Lin Fan took out the white token that had been prepared long ago and handed it to the soldier.
White Token !!
The soldier was suddenly startled, his eyes stared at Lin Fan in surprise, and his body trembled slightly
Thinking that he had just yelled at the Viscount of the Great Qin Kingdom, cold sweat kept breaking out
"Pavilion... Your Excellency, please... Please accept your token. ”
"It's okay, stand guard. Lin Fan took the token, patted the soldier on the shoulder, and strode across the city gate.
On the carriage, the middle-aged man also handed out a token, and soon the entire caravan passed by.
Lin Fan in front of him smiled secretly, and just now he saw it from the corner of his eyes, and the middle-aged man took it
It's a silver token!!
According to the middle-aged token's nine-level division, silver ranks second, and the corresponding status will not be as simple as just a businessman
On the contrary, the middle-aged identity is very likely to be a prince!
Lin Fan was secretly pondering in his heart, but his footsteps did not stop, constantly shuttling through the bustling crowd, and from time to time he distributed some silver taels to the refugees along the street.
Just as Lin Fan was about to enter the restaurant and settle down, a cry for help suddenly sounded from behind
"Help, please save my daughter's life, please, everyone is doing well~~Woo woo woo~"
