Chapter 268: Not to be taken lightly
Back in the carriage, Su Xiaojiu was uneasy, the world was unkind, and everything was used as a dog, but it was also a child raised by his father's mother, some people were born with fine clothes and food, and they had no worries about their lives, but some were poor and poor, and they were trying to survive, so how could it be fair
Xiao Jing continued to stay on the wheel, and after a while, he saw Su Xiaojiu get out of the carriage again and said, "No, I have to go and tell Master Hou"
"Report" Xiao Jing looked at the people in the carriage behind him, thinking that Su Xiaojiu was going to tell Hou Ye about carrying people.
Such a trivial matter is really unnecessary.
Su Xiaojiu didn't know what he understood, and stood on the ground and looked back at him, his expression was rare serious, "There must be more than one or two such refugees, and in a few days, there will be a large number of refugees pouring into the imperial city." ”
Even in the imperial city, the city is still dominated by ordinary people, the year is not good, the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven are not much easier, if the refugees do not receive the expected help, when the survival is not guaranteed, it is very likely to riot and riot.
That's human nature.
After briefly explaining the benefits and disadvantages, Xiao Jing was also immediately alert, refugees come from all directions, if you don't take precautions in advance, let alone the imperial city, I'm afraid that even the imperial palace will fall into a crisis.
I couldn't help but look at the thin and kind little girl in front of me again, seeing the big with the small, taking precautions, her cleverness, he sighed to himself.
When Su Xiaojiu found Lu Hou, he was urging the progress of the government soldiers to open the road, and when he saw Su Xiaojiu taking the initiative to come to him, he was overjoyed, and greeted him in person and said, "Why are the children impatient, tell them to be restless, we will be able to leave soon." ”
"Master Hou."
She bowed, looked at the sides of the road, and said, "Can Master Hou take a step to speak?"
Lu Hou explained a few words, followed her to a little farther away from the carriage, and said strangely, "But something happened."
Su Xiaojiu looked solemn and asked, "When Master Hou opened the way, did he encounter any obstacles?"
Lu Hou's heart froze, I don't know why she asked this, just now clearing the snow, she did sweep a few stiff corpses, it looks like she rushed here last night, but because the city gate was closed, the road was closed by heavy snow, and he froze to death when he was in a dilemma.
Just seeing her as a little girl, I was afraid that I would scare her by saying it, so I shook my head and said, "No, what's wrong?"
Su Xiaojiu is not a child, seeing his evasive look, he guessed about it, and no longer went around in circles, and said his worries directly, "Master Hou doesn't need to hide it, we also saw it just now." ”
Lu Hou was silent, and he admitted it.
Su Xiaojiu said again, "This is just the beginning now, I don't know how long it will take for the heavy snow, the people are short of food and clothing, and there will only be more and more refugees, if you don't take precautions in advance, I'm afraid that there will be a crisis in the imperial city."
Lu Hou didn't think so at first, and said with a smile, "There's no need to be so nervous, we have only seen these refugees along the way, and it shouldn't be a good climate." ”
He wanted to talk about the corpse, but he felt that something was not appropriate.
Su Xiaojiu shook his head and said, "Master Hou is too simple, we just cleaned up less than three miles, but I don't know how many poor strangers and how many refugees are blocked on the way here under the heavy snow."
She called Fusheng, who was working hard to shovel snow, and asked him to tell him what he had seen and heard on the road, and Lu Hou listened to it and fell into silence for a long time.
Imagine the scene of the influx of countless refugees, Rao is he has seen a big scene, and he can't help but feel numb on his scalp, and finally nodded and said, "You are right, this year's situation is special, everyone can't survive in the place, and it is human nature to go to the rich land of the imperial city to survive." ”
In recent years, there have been many hardships in the Great Abyss, and the victims are all over the place
At the foot of the Son of Heaven in Beijing, if there is more blockade and no way for the victims to live, it seems that it is unreasonable.
As a military general, he protects all the people of the Great Abyss, and he must not do such a ruthless and ruthless thing.
Although Su Xiaojiu has not experienced the famine, he has seen a lot of historical stories, if it is just the victims of one or two places, it is just that, now more than half of the territory of Dayuan has fallen into poverty, if the victims come to Beijing together, it is the imperial city is rich, and how much can be relieved
Shengmien, Doumiqiu, relief for a day or two is easy to say, but it is a harsh winter, the victims have no source of income, it is estimated that they will not disperse until next year's spring ploughing, not to mention that they will be stranded for two or three months, can Shangjing support until then?
It is not only necessary to release grain, but also to resettle the victims, and send special personnel to guard it, so as to prevent people from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, and also to have people release grain regularly.
Not to mention that the treasury is already empty, it is abundant, and Yuan He Emperor Zhen can unconditionally relieve them for a few months
If not, if they run out of food halfway through, and the hope of the victims is shattered, will they rise up and attack them?
She hasn't forgotten that most of those who have rebelled and overthrown the dynasty since ancient times will gather together because they can't get by.
After being analyzed by her, Lu Hou suddenly sweated profusely, "The old man will quickly enter the palace and let the emperor block the city gate and defend it strictly."
"Slow"
"Su girl, please speak"
"Master Hou, only block the city gate, I'm afraid it will backfire, refugees come from thousands of miles, if you can't even enter the gate of the imperial city, if you are instigated by someone with a heart, I'm afraid that you will break into the door immediately, they are also the people of Dayuan, at that time Hou Ye will kill, or not"
She was obviously so thin and small, as high as Lu Hou's chin, but Lu Hou was forced to take a step back by her bright eyes, and couldn't help but say, "Then according to your opinion, what should we do?"
Su Xiaojiu took another step forward to "open the warehouse and release grain"
Lu Hou thought that she had something better to do, and when she heard this, she hesitated and said, "You also know how this year is, not only elsewhere, but also in short supply of materials in Beijing, if we release all the food, then what will we eat?"
He has the world in mind, but only if he has spare strength.
Su Xiaojiu said in a cut voice, "Master Hou, all these slaves and maids you said know about them, but the victims don't know."
Lu Houhu's body was shocked.
"For them, Shangjing is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the richest heaven on earth in the entire Great Abyss, otherwise how could they have traveled thousands of miles away from home to come here"
Blocking the city gate blocks the vitality of the victims, the Son of Heaven and the people.
After going through all the hardships to come here, I thought I could be rescued, but I found that I was abandoned by their heavenly son, that kind of feeling, how sad and angry, how desperate
When faced with life and death, all reason will collapse and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Lu Hou's chest rose and fell violently, he had been fighting horses all his life, and naturally he didn't want to point his sword at the people of Dayuan, thinking about Su Xiaojiu's words, he quickly calmed down, and muttered, "You're right, you can't close the city, you can't close the city, but if you don't close the city, the grain and grass in the city will be difficult to support for how long, so how to solve the difficulty"
