Chapter 61: Blame Him

Whether it's a person or a people's husband.

At the end of the day, the essence is the same.

It is precisely because of their presence that the disaster relief can be carried out unharmed.

After the people maintain order.

The relief effort began in earnest.

A long queue of victims slowly walked towards the porridge shed.

After walking to the porridge shed, receive a bowl of porridge rice and half a cake from the porridge shed.

Without waiting for the people to urge, the person who received the food devoured all the porridge and rice as he walked.

Then he handed the porcelain bowl to the servants waiting behind the porridge shed.

From the servant's hand, he exchanged a porcelain bowl for half a loaf of bread.

Then he hid two halves of bread in his chest and quickly moved away from the crowd.

I'm afraid that if I go slowly, the cake will be snatched away.

And the servant who received the porcelain bowls waited for the porcelain bowls to be piled up in a stack.

Straight to the front.

This creates a closed loop.

If not, where would so many bowls come from?

Xu Yi quietly looked at the porridge shed below.

A moment later.

Xu Yi stepped down from the high place and walked towards the porridge shed.

This way has been extraordinarily unimpeded.

After a while, Xu Yi walked to the porridge shed.

"Your Excellency!"

When the soldiers guarding the porridge shed saw Xu Yi coming, they quickly clasped their fists and saluted.

Even the servants who were cooking couldn't help but pause.

What's more, the spoon that he put down directly bowed to Xu Yi and shouted to him.

Xu Yi waved his hand and said calmly: "No need to be polite!" Don't delay the soup kitchen! ”

When everyone is back to normal.

Xu Yi stepped forward and picked up a piece of cake.

The bread was thinner than the bread sold in the city.

Moreover, not only is it thin, but the ingredients of the cake are also more than a star and a half worse than the cakes in the city.

Xu Yi turned his head to look at a servant dressed as a butler who appeared on the side at some point.

opened his mouth and asked, "How many cakes has Pingyi Bofu prepared this time?" ”

When the housekeeper heard this, he hurriedly replied, "Lord Hui, my uncle has prepared 35,000 cakes for this disaster relief!" ”

There are 35,000 pieces of bread, and there are almost 50,000 people outside the Xuanping Gate.

So many pies are obviously not enough.

The butler obviously knew this.

As soon as the words fell, he added again: "My uncle also knows that 35,000 cakes are definitely not enough. ”

"But, my uncle can't help it, the food given by the court is only enough for 30,000 pieces of bread."

"The remaining 5,000 pieces of bread are still taken out of his own pocket by my uncle."

Seeing Xu Yi's face pondering.

The housekeeper hurriedly added: "Don't you know, even the food of these 30,000 pieces of bread was brought out of the yamen by my uncle with a lot of effort. ”

"Last night, the imperial court only gave food to 15,000 people."

The people may not understand what the black python robe represents.

But as the housekeeper of the Pingyi family, how could he not recognize what the python robe represented?

Today, except for the prince, who dares to blatantly wear a python robe.

And there are guards by your side?

Xu Yi nodded noncommittally.

Then he walked towards the wooden barrel where the porridge and rice were kept.

The porridge and rice in the wooden barrel may be more appropriately called rice soup.

Fortunately, there are also small amounts of corn, sorghum rice, and soybeans in each spoonful of rice soup.

Putting aside quantity and talking about quality is tantamount to playing hooligan.

Judging from the on-site soup kitchen, the porridge rice prepared by Pingyi Bofu is not bad.

If what the steward said is true, the problem is still with the relief food.

Xu Yi turned around and walked towards the housekeeper of the Pingyi Mansion.

Even though I already have a guess in my mind.

Still asked, "What did your uncle tell you?" ”

Hearing this, the housekeeper hurriedly bowed again, and replied without hesitation: "My uncle asked us to save as many victims as possible." ”

"But as you can see, there's only so much food."

The housekeeper pointed helplessly to the porridge shed.

Then he continued: "Before I came, my uncle meant to take care of the victims who were still able to move. ”

"Anyone who can walk around will have a bowl of gruel and a cake for each person."

"After these people have eaten, the remaining bread and gruel are divided into halves and distributed to those who have no strength to move."

"Find a way to hang their lives."

Hanging, what a cruel and helpless word.

Xu Yi nodded noncommittally, rationally speaking, Pingyibo's handling method is undoubtedly the best.

But, in the final analysis, this is not a kind of helplessness and compromise.

Xu Yi stood beside the porridge shed.

Quietly looking at the servant of Pingyi Bofu's porridge, he sighed helplessly in his heart: "In this world, how many Pingyi Bo are there?" ”

At the same time, I couldn't help but feel guilty about my thoughts in the morning.

Pingyibo's incident gave Xu Yi the most vivid and unforgettable lesson!

An hour and a half later.

When the sky is getting dark.

The disaster relief in Pingyi Bofu has also officially ended.

As the steward had said, the last grain was divided into two portions.

The porridge rice was made thinner with more water.

The bread split in two and became even less common.

But even so, when the food was distributed to the hungry victims.

still got countless gratitude to Dade.

What is unbearable in the eyes of others is no less than the delicacies of the mountains and the sea for them.

After all, that's what will save their lives.

Xu Yi took a deep look at the victims outside the city.

Turning around and following the relief wagon, he slowly walked to the suspension bridge.

This time, a large number of victims gathered next to the suspension bridge.

It's a pity, under the threat of the soldier's spear and short sword.

Those victims can only plead bitterly.

Cross the suspension bridge.

The moment you walk through the city gates.

Xu Yi actually had a feeling of being in a different world.

There was no longer the painful wailing of the victims, the cry of pleading.

and those who know their fate. But the cry of a child who can't resist.

Everything in the city seems so quiet and peaceful.

It was so peaceful that Xu Yi had an unreal feeling in his heart.

Rong Pingchuan walked down from the city gate.

took a deep look at Xu Yi, who was distracted.

sighed in his heart, and secretly prayed that the sixth prince and the commander-in-chief of Jing Zhaoyin's disaster relief would be able to sincerely do something practical for those disaster victims.

Rong Pingchuan sighed weakly, and then stepped forward quickly.

He clenched his fists and greeted, "My lord." ”

Xu Yi, who came back to his senses, nodded slightly, and after a few polite sentences.

and he shall not linger any longer.

For Xu Yi, the purpose of this trip out of the city seems to have been achieved.

There is no point in lingering any longer.

Reach out and take the reins.

Xu Yi turned straight on the horse.

And Zhao Shou quickly disappeared at Xuanping Gate.

Rong Pingchuan put his hands behind his back and quietly looked at the backs of Xu Yi's master and servant who quickly disappeared.

A heavy sigh.

Then he pulled Gu Dengyun to the side and walked to the city gate.
