Chapter 340: Refugees from all over the land

"Is there a military disaster in this Youzhou City? How are they all refugees? Did someone rebel and besiege the city? Standing on the roof of the carriage, Xiao Doudou looked at the city wall in the distance and wondered.

Li Ke shook his head and said: "No, if there is no war in winter, and if someone is attacking the city, then why don't we see military reports along the way?" ”

Xue Li nodded and said: "It's strange, in ordinary winter, no matter whether there is food at home or not, basically they will not go out to escape in winter, after all, it is cold and freezing, and if you can't go too far, you will be frozen to death, what's going on in this Youzhou City?" It looks like there are no less than 10,000 victims. ”

"Hehe, don't guess, don't you go into the city and take a look?" Yuwen Chengdu stretched out his hand and pointed afar.

But after all the hard work to rush out of the crowd, but when you come to the city, you are embarrassed, and the defenders at the head of the city are not allowed to enter the city? No one will be allowed to enter.

Xiao Doudou was so angry, he took out the gold medal that he carried with him, and shouted: "Who is the defender of Youzhou City?" Immediately let him come out to see Princess Ben. ”

Li Ke reminded in a low voice: "Cousin, General Chai Shao, the guard general of Youzhou City, is our uncle, don't be rude!" ”

The city guard looked at it, but shook his head and denied it, and excused himself and said, "I'm sorry, even if you are really a princess, we don't dare to open the door." The general went back to Chang'an for the New Year, so now it is my subordinates who are guarding the city. Outside the city are all disaster victims, if once the city is opened, the disaster victims will pour in, and Youzhou City will immediately become a disaster area, and everyone will not be able to pass the New Year? ”

"Bastard! These are my people of the Tang Dynasty, who are now enduring hunger, cold, and freezing in the wilderness, waiting for the food king's luck, but they don't even think about opening the city to help the victims, but they are still thinking about the New Year? Outrageous! Li Ke scolded angrily.

The people in the city spread their hands, "They are not my people of the Tang Dynasty, they are all Goguryeo people." ”

"What? The people of Goguryeo? Nonsense...... This place is not less than a thousand miles away from the border, how can the people of Goguryeo flee here? You ......"

Before Li Ke finished speaking, he was pulled down by Xiao Doudou's clothes, because the shopkeeper who accompanied the Cui family to help had already asked clearly, it was indeed the people who fled from Goguryeo.

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense with him, we want to find a place to settle down, let's discuss it. Senior Brother Xue, you go and survey where there is a clean water source, we will camp nearby, and then set up a tent and prepare to boil a cold-proof decoction, and then save people first. "Xiao Doudou is worthy of being a war, at a young age, he arranges things, but he is in order.

Looking at this posture, Li Ke said with emotion: "Cousin, I knew this earlier, why did we still transport herbs here?" It's better to ship grain directly, and business will definitely be better. ”

"Grain? The third brother is so stupid, these are all disaster victims, do you expect them to spend money to buy food to save their lives? If they had money, they would not have come out to flee the famine. Let's figure it out first, don't we say that the people who came from Goguryeo settled down in the Tang Dynasty? What's going on? Find out which link is wrong, I can't spare them, I made my family's money, but in the end I didn't cooperate with the errand? Then spit out the silver to me. Xiao Doudou looked sharply to the northeast.

At night, Xue Li was ordered to take two strange beasts to guard the convoy, Yuwen Chengdu took a small pocket, and took advantage of the night, the two climbed up with their bare hands along the city wall, and were not discovered by the defenders, and came directly to the Youzhou Governor's Mansion.

Seeing the moment when Ru Zhen came to the gold medal in person, Fang Sheng, the assassin of Youzhou who temporarily defended the city, broke out in a cold sweat, and what did he say in his heart? Is it silent above to send someone down for a private visit?

Respectfully invited Yuwen Chengdu and the two of them in, and the tea and meals were arranged, and then he cautiously asked about the intention.

The two of them got straight to the point, and asked about the cause of the victims outside the city, Youzhou Thorn Shi had heard of the name of the little princess of Ping'an, not to mention that there was a killing god Yuwen Chengdu by his side, who would dare to fool him? 1510 gave an explanation, which roughly means that these batches are all the old, weak, sick and disabled deliberately driven by Goguryeo, and they cannot be accommodated.

"Can't store it? Qin Wangfu is short of your money? If I'm not mistaken, not only did we buy people and our Qin Wangfu paid for it, but even if it was allocated to settle in various places, the Qin Wangfu also symbolically paid a resettlement fee, so as not to let the place be wasted and fertile land. Xiao Doudou asked unceremoniously.

Looking at the other party's serious face, Youzhou Thorn Shixin said, is this really a child? Why is it so scary?

"Back to Her Royal Highness the little princess, this is not a matter of money at all. Even if the Qin Wangfu did not give a symbolic resettlement fee, it would be inappropriate to let the local government provide some land to resettle the population, most places were short of people to cultivate, and everyone could not ask for more people to settle down, so that they could receive food in the future.

But here's the problem, this group of old, weak, sick and disabled, even if we pay for the grain and acres of land, and feed them for a year, but what about a year later? They are old and infirm, unable to farm, and cannot bring a single tax revenue to the locality, so there is no place to accept them.

You see, we're also worried, it's not that we don't deduct it, it's that no one wants it. Assassin Shi Fangsheng cried.

Xiao Doudou asked puzzledly: "You Youzhou Mansion, can't manage the place?" Who would dare not obey orders? ”

"If there is a city and a place, no one dares to disobey, but if all the people under the rule resist it, we can't either. The cause of this incident is not ours, but the enemy, and Goguryeo deliberately used this way to trap our Tang Dynasty, just to see this drawback. If you want to force us to stop buying people, ......"

With a long sigh, Xiao Doudou basically understood, knew the details, no longer persecuted, and nodded to leave, "Let's go back and discuss this matter and see if we can come up with a solution." Today, the princess was blocked from entering the city, and if you need it in the future, you have to cooperate unconditionally, otherwise this gold medal will not be recognized. ”

What?

"What bold fanatic dares to stop Her Royal Highness the little princess? The little princess forgives her sins, and the people below didn't report it at all, so I'll deal with them. Wait a minute, I'll have someone arrange a place for you to stay. ”

Xiao Doudou waved his hand and said, "No need, for the time being, we live outside the city, and we will come back to you if we have something." ”

After speaking, the two didn't need to be sent, and went out of the city in a low-key manner again.

Returning to the off-site residence, he told the details, Xiao Doudou looked at Li Ke and said with a smile: "Third brother, before you came, you put down your arrogance and said that you would come out to have a good experience, and now that the opportunity has come, it is up to you whether you can solve the livelihood problem of this group of disaster victims." ”

"Huh? Little sister, you, you...... With so many people, I'm a newcomer? Li Ke was dumbfounded, "I'm afraid of delaying things." ”

"Yes, yes, the time is urgent, and you can't delay things, just give you one night, because the longer you delay, the more you will freeze to death and starve. In the future, when it reaches Goguryeo, they will spread rumors that we have abandoned the people who came to Datang, and no one will yearn for Datang again, you are guilty. Xiao Doudou instructed.

Burst...... Li Ke really wanted to vomit blood, he didn't bully people like this.

"Let me think of the idea alone, so what do you do?" Li Ke asked.

Waving his hand, Xiao Doudou said with emotion: "I will first summon the shopkeeper of the Qin Wangfu here, and I need people to do things." Then I had to open a museum to practice medicine and save people, which was very busy. ”

Busy? Well, it's really busy!
