Chapter 284: Food Crisis
"Stand back, stand back, don't take a step forward"
The soldiers held halberds in their hands and looked at the refugees with fierce eyes and said viciously.
"Why is there no food, why is there no food"
The people questioned, and more and more people began to move forward, as if there would be a riot in the next second.
"Bold, do you want to rebel?" The blades of grass drank hard, but their hearts panicked.
If in normal times, the grass leaves don't care at all, they just send soldiers to suppress it, and it really can't kill a few people to deter it.
But not now, Yun Xuan was ordered to come here to supervise, if he saw the scene of the soldiers suppressing the people, there would be a big incident at that time.
"We don't dare to rebel, we just want to know why there is no food all of a sudden"
Hearing the word rebellion, the originally excited refugees became quiet, and their chests still rose and fell violently.
"The imperial court has already brought a lot of grain, but it will take ten days to get here from the national capital. We have already communicated with the household department, and the food will arrive in a few days."
Comforting the excited people, Blade of Grass frowned slightly, it stands to reason that the disaster relief food has arrived, why hasn't it come yet.
For some reason, there was a trace of worry in the heart of the grass leaf, if the food could not be delivered in time, I was afraid that there would be trouble at that time.
At this moment, Yun Xuan rushed over, and looking at the imminent situation, Yun Xuan said loudly.
"Everyone, be quiet, this king is an inspector sent by the imperial court, who is in charge of refugees, what can you tell me?"
"My lord, we just want a bite to eat, please help us"
When the people saw that someone was in charge, they quickly knelt down and cried.
"Don't worry, this king will definitely give you an explanation, but this king must understand the situation first, and after half an hour, this king will ensure that everyone has something to eat."
"Let Hyde roll over to the king"
His face was cold and his expression was gloomy, and Yun Xuan scolded angrily.
Then he came to the porridge point, opened the lid of the pot, and it was clear that there were no rice grains, which made Yun Xuan angry.
Is this still porridge?
This is obviously a pot of hot water, not to mention the taste of rice, even the rice grains can't be seen.
"Why is there no food" Yun Xuan glared angrily at the blades of grass.
Facing Yun Xuan's questioning, Cao Ye's heart tightened, and he swallowed: "My lord, we told the household department a long time ago that the food was not enough, so let the household department quickly mobilize the food, but I don't know why the food has not arrived for a long time."
Hearing this, Yun Xuan frowned, and asked Zheng Ku to call over: "Lord Zheng, why hasn't the food arrived for a long time?"
"My lord, the household department has allocated food twice before, and we have calculated that it is enough to last for about half a month. Calculate the time, you should be able to hold on for two or three days."
When such a thing happened, Zheng Ku was also terrified, this is a big event, and the slightest carelessness will lead to a fire, so he has to leave the responsibility of the household department away.
Hearing Zheng Ku's words, Yun Xuan's eyes were sharp, and he looked at the blades of grass: "Lord Cao, you also heard it, give this king an explanation."
"My lord, this, this, I don't know if I am lowly" Grass Leaf panicked, his eyes dodging.
"I don't know, you didn't know that such a big thing happened" Yun Xuan roared like thunder, making the people around him tremble in fright.
"My lord, come to eat from my humble position, and ask my lord to forgive my sins"
Hyde, who learned what had happened, was worried, and if he was found to be selling food without permission, it would be a capital offense.
"Lord Hai came just in time, Lord Zheng just said that the grain allocated by the household department is enough for the people to eat for two or three days, and the food allocated by the household department for the third time is also on the way, why is there no food today?"
Hyde was shocked: "My lord, I have been dealing with political affairs all these days, and I don't pay much attention to food, and I don't know the specific reason for my humble position."
Yun Xuan's eyes were cold, and he felt a hairy feeling when he saw Hyde.
"Lord Hai, you also know that this king is an inspector, and if such a thing happens now, if it is not handled properly, it will cause a riot among the people.
This is not what the king wants to see, nor is it what the father wants to see, and the king does not want to know how there is no food now, but how to make the people eat food in these three days."
"My lord, don't worry, go back now and see if you can collect food to ensure that the people have food to eat every day."
"Fortunately, Lord Hai, Lord Cao, you also go to accompany Lord Hai, this place is handed over to this king, if you can't see food for half an hour, don't blame this king for being ruthless"
With a cold snort, Yun Xuan then left the porridge point and headed towards the people, the most important thing at the moment was to appease the people.
Avoid irreversible consequences caused by excesses.
Hyde frowned, half an hour to get food, this is too difficult for a strong man.
"How could there be not enough food?" Hyde wanted to know why.
"Adults, small ones don't know, it stands to reason that the food of the household department should have arrived."
"Send someone along the way to see, make sure that the food arrives within three days"
"My lord, then what should I do now" Cao Ye frowned, Prince Yin had already spoken, and he would see the grain in half an hour.
"First move some out of the inner house, remember, you only need to starve the people not to death, don't let the inspector make you suspicious"
Half an hour later
"Everyone line up, everyone has food, don't be in a hurry"
Seeing the smiles and hopes reappear on the faces of these refugees, Yun Xuan also smiled.
Yun Xuan came to the porridge point and looked at the hot porridge in the pot, although it was not very thick, it was much better than clear water.
Looking at this pot of porridge, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Yun Xuan's mouth.
Yun Xuan called Zheng Ku and asked him to have a good chat with Blade of Grass to see if he could get the account book.
"Lord Hai, this king's tone was a little heavy just now, and I hope Lord Hai doesn't mind," Yun Xuan said with a smile.
"My lord is dedicated to the people, and I admire my humble duties, and I scold mere them, it's nothing" Hyde's eyes flashed with resentment.
"Today, the king has prepared a banquet in the restaurant, and I hope that Lord Hai will definitely attend at that time, as well as those merchants, this king should thank them well."
"Your lord's kindness"
Yun Xuan chatted with Hyde for a while, and then came to the refugees, and kept them here all the time.
If you get the flu, it's going to be bad.
Yun Xuan thought about it, found Libu, and asked him to lead some people to separate these refugees according to men, old people, women and children.
He was busy until the time of the unitary, and then Yun Xuan left here and went to the restaurant, and the next thing was to cooperate with these merchants.
"This king is late, please don't blame" Yun Xuan said with a smile.
"The Inspector keeps the adults busy, we can understand," someone snorted haha.
"This king punishes himself with three cups" Dong Dong Dong, three glasses of wine in the stomach.
"Good alcohol for adults"
"This time I was able to solve the food problem of the refugees so quickly, and I would like to thank the Haida people and the bosses for their support.
Raising his wine glass, Yun Xuan said enthusiastically.
"My lord, this is what a humble duty should do," Hyde said earnestly.
"It's also an honor for us to be able to help the Inspector, isn't it?"
"Yes, that's right"
"Your kindness, this king is ashamed of it, and when this king goes back, he will definitely tell his father truthfully, so that his father can reward Lord Hai and your bosses."
Several people's eyes lit up, and they hurriedly said, "Then thank you to the Inspector."
You must know that although these businessmen are rich, they do not have the slightest status at all, and businessmen are the lowest existence in this era.
If they can get the emperor's commendation, then they will definitely improve their status to a higher level, and when the time comes, they will give some money, and maybe they can become officials.
"Yes, you deserve it. This king has some things to discuss with you, I don't know if you can agree to this king's reluctant request," Yun Xuan said drunkly.
"Inspector, please say, we will definitely agree to what we can," several people raised their eyebrows, and a bad premonition flashed in their hearts.
"The king went to the people this day, and found that most of them were sleeping on the ground, and if any one were weak, would not have he developed the flu. This king has seen many mansions in the city idle these days, and this king intends to tear them down and make them into a floor for the people to use, I wonder if you will be able to fulfill this wish of this king."
The bosses breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Yun Xuan was looking for them to ask for food, and hurriedly said: "It is a blessing for the people to meet such a kind person as the inspector, and we will definitely support it."
"That's right, if the idle mansion has ours, the inspector can tear it down and make it for the people to make a floor, which can be regarded as our heart."
"This king has been thanking you all since then, and your friendship is in my heart."
Half an hour later, Yun Xuan left the restaurant.
"Do you say that what Prince Yin said just now is true or false," said one of the merchants to Yun Xuan leaving.
"Look at Prince Yin like that, besides, if we don't support him, he can sit firmly in the position of the inspector for a few days."
"Haha, that's right, I guess Prince Yin himself knows it, otherwise he wouldn't have said that just now."
After a while, Yun Xuan returned to the mansion and asked Libu to hurry up and mobilize some food first, Yun Xuan was of great use.
In addition, let him find that there were spies along the way to inquire about the news, and they were all intercepted, and they were not allowed to come back without his own words.
"What about Lord Yin" Yun Xuan planned to find Yin Jun to finalize the matter of diverting the flood, and in three days at most, Yun Xuan would start to build the river.
The Yuanjiang River will be quelled within half a month, and the refugee problem in the three provinces will be resolved within a month.
"Lord Yin is in the room," the guard said intermittently with a flickering look in his eyes.
Seeing the guards dodging, Yun Xuan's eyes were cold: "Explain it clearly to this king."
The guard was frightened and hurriedly knelt down to tell Yun Xuan the cause and effect of the incident.
Yun Xuan was furious, this Yin Jun was really a hungry ghost, and after only a few days of hard work, he forgot the lesson.
"Your Excellency, you are so bad"
"That's it, my lord, the slave family is going to be tired to death"
"Haha, I've got more powerful moves"
Before he walked in, Yun Xuan heard foul language coming from the room, which was despicable.
"Bang"
"Who"
There was a shocking sound, which frightened Yin Jun and almost wilted.
"Ahh
"Get dressed and get out" Yun Xuan didn't expect this Yin Jun to be so old that he was quite flowery.
It's really a toad playing with a frog, a flower that doesn't look like a flower.
The two women shuddered for a while, got dressed and left the room with their heads down, taking advantage of this opportunity, Yin Jun also got dressed.
"I was confused for a while, and I ask my lord to forgive me" Yin Jun looked frightened and knelt on the ground begging.
"Lord Yin, I remember warning you before, it's only been a few days, and the problem has been committed again?" Yun Xuan looked at Yin Jun, and an idea flashed through his mind.
"My lord, I have made a big mistake by the lowly lard, and I ask my lord to turn out that there will be no next time" Yin Jun trembled, his tone trembled, and his fingers kept trembling.
"Lord Yin, this king believes that you will never have a next time, get up" Yun Xuan's tone was calm.
"Thank you, your lordship, and remember your humble duties"
Yin Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and snorted coldly in his heart, it seems that Prince Yin still needs to do things for him after all.
