Chapter 282: Inspecting the People

"The imperial court has already distributed a lot of food to the disaster area, why are there still people begging outside the city?"

When he entered the city yesterday, Zheng Ku saw some scrawny people curled up, squatting on the side of the road begging for food.

Especially Yun Xuan's sharp eyes made Zheng Ku's scalp tingle, and Zheng Ku had sworn that there was enough food before.

But something like this happened on the first day, so Zheng Ku's face was dull and he couldn't raise his head.

"Lord Zheng, don't be deceived by these people, we will send food to the people every day, twice a day, and absolutely ensure that every person has food.

In my opinion, it must be that these people want to win sympathy and get a reward from the adults when they see you coming."

Hearing Cao Ye's answer, Zheng Ku had nothing to say, with so many refugees, even if the imperial court transported all the grain in the national capital, it could not guarantee that every ordinary person would be able to eat enough.

As long as there are no scenes of large numbers of people starving to death, and people protesting, then everything these officials do is compliant.

"I'm tired of Lord Grass today, let's go outside the city tomorrow to see"

After looking at it for a while, for Yun Xuan, the people in the city are all superficial, and only by seeing the people outside the city can he accurately analyze the cause of the problem.

Leaves of grass made a gesture, said goodbye to Yun Xuan, and told Hyde the news.

Hyde's eyes narrowed, and then he said, "Say hello to your subordinates these days and make the rice porridge thicker." In addition, drive those disobedient people away, and save them from being upset."

On the way back, Yun Xuan asked Zheng Ku: "What does Lord Zheng think about the disaster relief food?"

"I don't know what I do, it stands to reason that the food is definitely enough for the people to eat, and there will never be a situation of begging" Zheng Ku was a little flustered.

Yun Xuan knew that Zheng Ku didn't know about the officials secretly reselling grain, but Zheng Ku was the head of the household, which was the original sin.

It's not something that he can solve without knowing a word, Yun Xuan continued: "The national capital has allocated food to the disaster area before and after, and this king wants to know how long this food can normally last for the people here."

"Since the disaster appeared, the national capital has allocated grain to Yuanjiang twice, and it can last for half a month, and the third grain allocation should also be on the way."

"You write a letter back and say that there is enough food for the people here for a month, and ask them to postpone the fourth food allocation."

After sending Zheng Ku away, Yun Xuan found Libu and asked him to transfer more than 20 people back, stay on the halfway road of the household grain to Yuanjiang, and intercept this batch of grain.

The purpose of this is to make Hyde panic, and then Yun Xuan can take advantage of the lack of food to pursue the problem.

Selling grain privately, this kind of moth, should be eliminated.

When the sun was setting, Hyde sent someone to invite Yun Xuan to the restaurant to prepare good wine and food, but Yun Xuan politely refused.

After thinking for a moment, Yun Xuan planned to go outside the city tonight to check the situation on the spot, and see if the real situation of those people was the same as what Grass Ye said.

When night fell, Yun Xuan, with the help of Ah Da, successfully came to the outside of the city.

Looking at the dense crowd of people curled up in front of him, and there was nothing to cover his body, this scene was even more terrifying than the concert of the Heavenly King in the previous life.

This also made Yun Xuan worried.

Yun Xuan didn't have a specific number, but at least 10,000 people started, but fortunately, it was summer, and the nights were not too cold.

Otherwise, once these people are infected with the wind and cold, judging from the current situation, within ten days, all the people will suffer from the flu.

At that point, the situation will be out of control.

"Hurry up, hurry up"

A group of dozens of soldiers, well-dressed and armed with sharp blades, was waking up the sleeping people at the moment.

"My lord, what's the matter?" said the people, opening their eyes with sorrow, and humbly.

"Tomorrow a big man is coming, this place is requisitioned, you go to sleep somewhere else" The soldier rudely woke up all the people, and then forced them to leave.

"My lord, there are no more vacancies here, if you drive us away, where will we go?" An old man begged repeatedly.

"Get out of here, go where you like, and then Rory, I'll stab you to death, and there's still some food left," the soldier said viciously, his eyes cold.

"Let them go quickly, go back to rest early" After saying that, he left here and walked to the other side.

Seeing this, Yun Xuan glanced at Ambassador A, and Ah Da understood and followed the soldier.

Watching the soldiers rudely drive these people away, the laughter was particularly harsh in the silent night here, and Yun Xuan's eyes were cold.

Many sleeping people were awakened, and looking at these people, there was no more sparkle in their eyes.

These people are like walking corpses, living for two meals of porridge a day.

Looking at the scene that happened, Yun Xuan had a hunch that these soldiers appeared tonight and drove these people away, which might have something to do with him.

The front heel of the grass said that he would come to patrol outside the city tomorrow, but it turned out that such a hand came at night, and it seemed that Hyde was a little scared.

"What's going on" After a while, Ah Da returned.

"The soldier brought in a man who looked like he had some status, and asked him to find some people and stay in the places where the people were driven out tonight, saying that it was for the inspection of tomorrow's big people."

After hearing the news, Yun Xuan was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that this matter really had something to do with him. Find some obedient people to accompany the acting, so as to numb yourself.

How could I turn a blind eye to the acting that should be with you?

The first sun rises in the east, and the glow is shining.

Accompanied by the blades of grass, Yun Xuan came to the makeshift porridge spot outside the city, which was quite large.

To briefly understand that there are five porridge shops like this, and they are distributed in different places.

"See the Inspector"

Yun Xuan waved his hand, so that they didn't need to be polite, and then looked at the porridge in the cauldron, which was very thick, a little thicker than the porridge that normal people drink.

"Yes, it seems that Lord Hai is very attentive" Yun Xuan looked at the porridge pot, and then looked at the people in line, everything was in order, it was very good.

Looking at the people who came to make porridge, although the people in front of them looked sloppy and unkempt on the surface, their complexions were ruddy.

Compared with the people behind, it is simply a no-makeup and a beautiful face.

After watching it for a while, Yun Xuan asked Zheng Ku to accompany the grass leaves to other places to see, and Yun Xuan wanted to talk to these people alone.

Before leaving, the blade of grass looked at Yun Xuan deeply, and his face was solemn.

Yun Xuan asked Ah Da to call the person who seemed to be the leader of the obedient people over to probe the conversation.

"My lord," said one of the people, nodding and bending.

"What's your name," Yun Xuan asked.

"Adult, the small one is called a big tree" The big tree seems a little restrained.

"Big tree, don't be afraid, I came to you just to learn something about you. What is the concentration of the porridge you drink every day, can you eat enough, how many times a day"

"My lord, the porridge we drink on weekdays is the same as today, everyone can eat enough, and in order to take care of the people, Lord Hai gives porridge twice a day," Dashu scratched his head and said.

"That's good, the most important thing is that the people have enough to eat, you go back first"

Looking at the back of the big tree, Yun Xuan smiled, and then mixed in with those real refugees and asked them about the situation.

After some understanding, Yun Xuan made an amazing discovery.

The porridge that the people drank before was very thin and clear to the bottom, and the bottom of the bowl was only a few grains of rice.

Hyde also asked these people to do some heavy work, but the people's physical strength could not keep up at all, and many people were dissatisfied.

Hyde tortured many of these people for this, and later some of the old and infirm people died of hunger and exhaustion, which made the people feel very angry and protested.

To this end, Hyde sent hundreds of soldiers to turn all those troublemakers around, coerce and induce, and strongly deter the people.

The farce had subsided, and Hyde had lost the idea of letting the people work.

After learning the news, Yun Xuan's eyes became deep and cold, and a hint of fierceness appeared on his eyebrows.

Other places are estimated to be very similar to Haide's here, could it be that the emperor is in a hurry to let Yun Xuan come over, he must know the situation here.

I want to settle this matter peacefully before it happens irreversibly.

Back at the mansion, Yun Xuan planned to wait until Yuanjiang's grain was in an emergency, and then it was time to make a move.

"Is Lord Yin back?" Now that Yun Xuan has a countermeasure to the problem of food, all that remains is how to deal with these floods.

The flood problem is the only problem that bothers the people. Only when the flood is resolved can the refugee problem be truly solved.

"Lord Yin has been staying in the room today and has not left," the guard said respectfully.

Hearing this, Yun Xuan's eyes were cold, and his whole body exuded anger, which made the guards on the side tremble, and he thought that he had said the wrong thing.

"Bring Him Here"

Sitting on the chair, Yun Xuan's eyes were deep and he looked ahead.

"Prince Yin, are you looking for a humble position?" A tired Yin Jun appeared in Yun Xuan's sight.

Looking at Yin Jun's frivolous walking, it seems that the nightlife has been relatively rich in the past two days.

"Today is the second day, this king wants to know about how to open a ditch and lead a ditch" Yun Xuan looked at Yin Jun with an expressionless face.

"The Yuanjiang River is so big, and the Ministry of Industry has only five people, so there is no four or five days to survey the Yuanjiang route at all, and it is impossible to make accurate plans."

In the past two days, Yin Jun has been sleeping during the day and having fun at night, and he doesn't pay attention to what Yun Xuan explains.

But I've been in officialdom for so long, it's easy to find a reason to shirk the past.

"Lord Yin, as a waiter of the Ministry of Works, doesn't he know anything about such a simple thing as digging a ditch and draining a ditch? Even if you don't know the topography, can't you read it from the book?"

Yun Xuan glared at Yin Jun angrily, which made Yin Jun feel a little uneasy, could it be that what he did was discovered by Prince Yin.

"The lesson of Prince Yin is that the humble post will be arranged immediately, and the best plan must be formulated in the shortest possible time."

Feeling Yun Xuan's anger and dissatisfaction, Yin Junyi said in a righteous manner, and almost patted his chest and swore to the sky.

"The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest, this king wants to see a specific plan" Yun Xuan set a deadline.

"I'm afraid this is too urgent" Yin Jun's pupils shrank, and he couldn't finish the survey in two days.

"Do you think that this king does not know what you have done these days? If you can't see the specific plan the day after tomorrow, this king will hang your body at the gate of the city."

Yun Xuan's ruthless eyes looked at Yin Jun, and such a gaze instantly slashed into the character's heart like a knife.

Such a cold gaze is full of encroachment and ferocity, as if it is an incomparably cold knife, ready to give a fatal blow.

Looking at Yun Xuan's bloodthirsty eyes, Yin Jun was frightened, his body trembled, and he subconsciously nodded: "Yes."

Yun Xuan was disappointed by Yoon Jun's behavior, and if it weren't for the fact that there was no one at his disposal, he would definitely have to teach him a lesson.

After teaching Yin Jun a lesson, Yun Xuan asked people to call Libu and asked him to send some people out to buy coarse salt on a large scale, looking for Lang Zhong and the people who knew how to conservancy.

In terms of money, Yun Xuan temporarily paid for the imperial court, and seeing those who were inevitable, men, women, and children, all of them frail and frail all gathered together, Yun Xuan was a little uneasy.
