The grand dance party Ouyang Yu had a very boring time, she wanted to have a good meal, but she ate a stomach full of vegetables and fruits and didn't eat a bite of meat, which made her have no energy until the next day.

Although Ouyang Yu was still a prisoner, Ika did not restrict her freedom in life, and it was boring to stay in the governor's mansion, so she had the idea of going to the streets.

The once prosperous city of St. Ives is now much depressed, more than half of the shops on both sides of the street are not open, and the rest are not many customers even if they are open, and the alleys can still see yellow-faced and skinny refugees from time to time, most of these refugees are civilians whose homes have been destroyed by the war, and they all flock to St. Ives City with nowhere to go, hoping to try their luck and get a little food, or sell themselves or their children to others, although they have lost their freedom, they will not starve to death if they have a bite to eat, although it is not cold in the early spring season, but the drizzle of early spring also makes these refugees who have no food or clothing shiver from the cold, in order to keep warm, can only cover the hug together.

Some businessmen who do special business are picky among the refugees, and from time to time there are good-looking children or women not to be selected, these merchants are notorious slave traders in the whole world, but there is no law prohibiting human trafficking in the other world, so every time there is a war or a large-scale disaster, there are slave traders.

A lovely little boy was picked out, and the slave trader casually dropped some copper at the boy's father, who carefully counted less than a hundred, which means that the little boy was worth less than a silver coin.

The father of the little boy with the copper in his hand did not even look at his son, but turned and ran towards the nearest bakery, because he still had a wife and two children to feed, and the dozens of coppers in his hand saved a few flowers to feed the family for two months without starving to death.

"Hey, your empire now occupies the kingdom of Gaul, and these refugees have become the subjects of your empire, instead of bothering to save them, you watch the refugees sell their sons and daughters and even sell themselves. Sitting in a gorgeous carriage, Ouyang Yu asked loudly and dissatisfiedly to Ika opposite.

Ika replied in a natural tone in the face of Ouyang Yu's question: " If these things happened in the empire itself, our empire would definitely come to the rescue, but now it is the enemy citizens of the newly occupied areas who sell our children and daughters, why should we waste manpower and material resources to help, if we want to help them, we must contribute to the empire and become honorary citizens of the Phoenix Empire, in order to enjoy all the benefits and treatment of the empire, otherwise anyone can become an imperial citizen, which makes the soldiers who are fighting bloody on the front line and the people who are desperately producing in the rear what do you think? What do you think? They worked so hard and even paid with their lives, just to let the people of the enemy country live a happy life for the ordinary people of the empire?"

Ouyang Yu was stunned by Ika's theory, and without waiting for her to speak, Ica continued: " Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor issued a decree, the people in the occupied areas are called losers, only the most basic rights, all the welfare benefits of the empire can not be enjoyed, only those who have made due contributions can become honorary Phoenix people enjoy all the rights, the loser and the children born to the native citizens of the empire will also automatically enjoy all the benefits, we Phoenix people do not need to bear criminal responsibility if they kill the loser, only need to lose some money, if you fall in love with the loser's woman, whether you are married or not, the loser's family must obey unconditionally, otherwise it is a capital crime。 ”

"Ridiculous! How could there be such a law?! I wonder how many people would rebel against your rule?"

Looking at Ouyang Yu's surprised expression, Ika said calmly: "No matter how many people resist, kill them all, there are not many people in this world, only the most people, if you are afraid of killing, naturally no one will resist, this is what His Majesty the Emperor said himself." ”

Ouyang Yu was already speechless by the crazy policies of the Phoenix Empire, she had grown up in a peaceful environment since she was a child, where had she heard such a brutal order, she originally wanted to go out for a walk, but in the conversation with Ika, she made herself even more upset.

"Stop!"

The carriage stopped on the side of the road, and Ika looked at Ouyang Yu inexplicably, but Ouyang Yu didn't explain to him, but stepped out of the carriage and walked towards the refugees.

"Your Highness, please stop, how can you approach these lowly losers with your noble status!" Ika ran out of the carriage with the members of the special guard team and blocked in front of Ouyang Yu.

"Get out of the way!"

"I'm sorry Your Highness, but we can't obey this order. Ika's attitude was very resolute, and he opened his hands to block in front of Ouyang Yu.

"Really, I want to see if you can really persevere?" After speaking, Ouyang Yu puffed up his chest and approached Ika directly, and the towering Oupai slammed straight into him, in the terms of the Internet on the earth, it was to hit people with the ball, where did Ika dare to touch the future princess with a hair, so he could only helplessly avoid it to the side.

Before he got close to Ouyang Yu, he smelled a foul smell, which was mixed with strong body odor, rotten food and other smells, and almost vomited Ouyang Yu's smoke.

Seeing Ouyang Yu wearing a complicated and gorgeous dress approaching, the nearby refugees squeezed back in fear and knelt down on their knees, the decree issued by the Governor's Mansion required all losers to bow down when they saw the nobles and Phoenix people, if they did not bow down, it would be a big crime, the whole family would be reduced to slavery, and all would be executed, and many losers were killed because they violated the law when it was first implemented.

Ouyang Yu covered her nose and walked among the refugees, and the six people of Ika surrounded her to prevent the refugees from getting closer, wherever they went, the refugees automatically separated to make way for them, not that the refugees really wanted to let them but were all afraid of being killed.

In the place where the refugees are concentrated, what Ouyang Yu saw was a hell on earth, the refugees who were hungry and cold were unmanaged, and a large number of refugees died of hunger and cold every day, and the dead corpses were not disposed of, and they were still left among the refugees to slowly decay, and the smell that Ouyang Yu smelled was the smell of corpses rotting.

After looking around, Ouyang Yu returned to the carriage and ordered Ellie and Tabasa: "You go to the nearby bakery and buy all the bread." ”

"Your Highness, there are tens of thousands of refugees in the city, how many people can you save?" Ika tried to make Ouyang Yu dispel the idea of helping the refugees.

Ouyang Yu turned around and stared at Ika fiercely and scolded: "I really can't save all the people, but if I can save one is counted as one, you also saw the situation of the refugees just now, so many corpses are among the refugees, there is a great possibility of a plague, if you don't improve the situation of the refugees immediately, it will be too late by the time the plague breaks out!"

Ika had to admit that what Ouyang Yu said was very reasonable, if the plague broke out, all the people would be unlucky, St. Ives City was an important material transit point for the Northern Imperial Army, if the transportation of materials was affected because of the plague, and the front-line troops would suffer losses because of this, it would be worth the loss.

"Your Highness, you have convinced me, why don't we return together to explain the situation to His Excellency the Governor, and ask him to allocate food and send men to help the refugees. "Ika still doesn't want Ouyang Yu to have too much relief with the refugees.

Ouyang Yu glared at Ika unhappily, but there was not much majesty, so he raised his feet and boarded the carriage and said to Ika dissatisfiedly: "Then you don't hurry up!"

Ika smiled bitterly, this aunt is really not easy to deal with.

Returning to the Governor's Mansion, Ouyang Yu walked quickly towards Governor Hope's office with her skirt, the gorgeous long skirt made her feel very uncomfortable, she couldn't walk too fast, otherwise it would be easy to step on the skirt and fall, Ouyang Yu missed her military uniform very much.

Pushing open the door of Governor Hope's office, Governor Hope and his subordinates, who were working, looked at Ouyang Yu in surprise, and Governor Hope got up and smiled at her: "Your Highness, is there something wrong with you coming here in such a hurry?"

"Yes, I have something urgent. Ouyang Yu explained everything he saw in the city to Governor Hope, and the smile on Governor Hope's face disappeared instantly after hearing this, and he turned his attention to the official in charge of civil affairs.

Under the stern eyes of Governor Hope, cold sweat immediately flowed out, and the civil affairs officer stammered: "I'm sorry sir, it's my job that didn't do my job, but the number of refugees is too large, and the food is not enough, and all of them are transported to the front line, even if I have the heart to help the disaster, I can't do anything." ”

One of the main reasons for the refugees was that the Imperial Army's food supply was difficult to transport far from the mainland, so half of the local supply was adopted, and the remaining half of the supply was collected locally, and the food was forcibly requisitioned from the nobles and commoners in the occupied areas without a penny.

Governor Hope had a look of embarrassment on his face when he heard that there was no food, but the problem of the refugees could not be left untreated, and since there was no food, it was better to kill them all than sooner or later!

Governor Hope's face flashed with anger, but he was keenly grasped by Ouyang Yu and secretly said in his heart, and hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter if you don't have food, I have a lot of food, I can order my people to transport the food." ”

Governor Hope asked suspiciously: "Your Highness, even if you have food, but the Duchy of Lucerne and St. Ives City are far away, even if it is transported by car, it will take a lot of time, and when the food is delivered, I am afraid that the refugees will starve to death a lot, no, no, let me think of a way." ”

"Of course, it's not enough to transport it by car, but what if it is transported by plane? ”

"Transportation by plane?!" The room full of people were all stunned by Ouyang Yu's proposal, because the plane was still a new thing in the other world, and they couldn't think of it being used to transport things in addition to fighting, so they all became interested in Ouyang Yu's proposal.
