Section 937 People's hearts
readx;? On the streets of Aylas City, dozens of soldiers were standing at the gate of the grain store, and the people waiting at the place where the food was distributed not far in front of them had already formed a long line, and everything was in order after a few disruptors were dragged out to clean up.

In addition to the sacks and baskets they carried, they also carried a certificate of the people issued by the new governor, which detailed the number of people in each household in the entire main city, that is, they had to carry this certificate to be able to come and apply for food.
Nowadays, more than a dozen areas are planned in the city of Ayras, each area has a corresponding food distribution location, and the people's certificates also indicate which region they belong to, so they can only go to the corresponding area to apply for food, preventing people from going to different food distribution points to receive more food.
A stout clerk poured the rice in the rice bag in his hand into a utensil in front of him, waited for the rice to fill the vessel, he wiped off the sharp pile of rice on the utensil with his hands, grabbed it back into the rice bag, and then shouted "next", and immediately a woman at the front of the line came up, she poured the rice in the container into her basket, and kept chattering, "Thank you, thank you, ......
Her name is Lyres, she is a native of Ayras City, her husband and two sons died in the battle in the eastern region, leaving her alone to live alone, before the price of food in Ayras City is one day a day, and it is getting higher and higher day by day, she has no source of livelihood and she is ready to die, but suddenly heard the announcement of the new governor to distribute food, and then ......
Here she was.
"Wait a minute, please. ”
A shopkeeper who had been staring at the ledger before saw that the slender Lyles was about to leave, stopped her, saw the other party with a puzzled face, and said to the clerk next to him, "Give her half a bucket of grain, the adult has explained, and the old man who has no one at home can receive half a bucket of grain." ”
"Yes. ”
The clerk nodded, turned around and took out half a bucket of grain from the rice bag, and saw that Lyres's basket was already full, so he found another cloth bag to pour the grain into it and handed it to her.
Lyles looked at the cloth bag under her feet in a daze, and her tears couldn't stop flowing, "Uh...... Your Excellency, you ...... Thank you so much, I have lived for so many years, and I have never seen such a kind nobleman, may I ask what is the name of our Governor? ”
"Rebis ......"
The shopkeeper-like man smiled and said, "Grandma, if you can't eat your grain, you can sell it, and now that the ban on selling grain has been lifted, it should be easy to sell it." ”
As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, it immediately caused a round of applause and cheers from the surrounding people, and he could feel that the expressions on the faces of these people were completely spontaneous and unpretentious.
After the old woman left, another person in front of the queue took the food from the utensils, bowed respectfully to the clerk, and left.
Throughout the long street, all the people in line were patiently waiting for the people in front of them, chatting with each other.
And the shopkeeper, after looking at the bookkeeper for a while, turned and left.
The food distribution has been going on for more than a week, and he can feel the subtle changes that have taken place in this Aylas City, the original lifeless main city has gradually been lit up with hope, although the people who are short of food will still be hungry, but they will definitely not starve to death, and the topics they talk about are also to see who eats wowotou every day, it is really fragrant, he has eaten eighteen buns before, and now he thinks about the topics of happiness, and gradually shifts to what he wants to do after the beginning of spring.
Among these topics, there is also about the new governor Huang Fei, when the other party first came here, no one thought that he would change anything, from the city of Ayras more than a hundred years ago from a small town of a few hundred people gradually to the current main city, the successive nobles only collected taxes, wore gorgeous clothes in front of them, and never gave them food as it is now.
Moreover, the high price of food in Ayras City was also caused by these nobles who hoarded food.
But as time went by, they found that the new governor was a little different from what they imagined, and the first thing the other party did was not to tax the people, but to take the most famous and powerful Marquis of Anlu in the main city, and forcibly expropriated all the grain and even a lot of treasures that the other party had hoarded, and then all the nobles were spared, either forcibly expropriated or sent the grain to the new governor on their own initiative.
In this way, the iron-fisted approach of offending all the nobles made even those people who ate melons feel incredible and unacceptable.
But what followed the new governor changed everyone's perception of him once again.
The new governor Rebis did not keep the food he had forcibly collected for himself, but distributed it throughout the city, and there was extra care for some vulnerable people, and because of this, in just a few days, the name of Rebis had spread almost all over the city of Aylas.
The identity of this shopkeeper is a member of the Shadows, and the order given to Huang Fei before is a little strange, he thinks that even if there is more food, it should be given more cooperation to those young and strong men who are stronger, what is the use of giving this kind of old woman who has no children and no daughters, no matter how much these people are given, they will not be able to contribute anything.
There were still many people who thought the same way as him in the shadows, but after Huang Fei heard their words, he just smiled slightly and said lightly, " People who are in the prime of life, they will not starve to death if they eat a few less meals, but those old people who have no children, no daughters and no one to take care of them are already very weak, and if they can't take extra care, they are likely not to survive the spring, and most of them are victims of this war, I am now the governor here, and the people in these fiefdoms are my people, so naturally I have to take care of everyone without conditions, if one person starved to death in these areas because of lack of food before the beginning of spring, it was me, that is, you did not do a good job. ”
Even so, many people in Shadow were still not satisfied with Huang Fei's explanation, because in their hearts, this world was a world of the jungle, and kindness represented cowardice and lack of progress.
But now, when they saw that in the city of Ayras, the people on the street, although they were still wearing very tattered clothes, the stiff expressions on their faces like walking corpses gradually disappeared, and they would greet each other warmly when they saw acquaintances, and the originally deserted shops were gradually patronized, they finally understood the deep meaning of Huang Fei's words.
If there is a main city, the people do not need to fear hunger, even the most vulnerable people do not have to live in this fear, even if the conditions are more difficult now, but there will always be hope for them in the future.
Popularity.
What Huang Fei wants is just the hearts of the people, as long as the originally lost hearts can be reunited little by little, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.
