Chapter 78: Arriving in Northwest City
These towns are not built between two mountains, as in the county seat of Xichuan, and there are only two gates for entry and exit.
The south gate and the west gate, if the two gates are closed, it is a husband who cannot open it, and it is difficult to attack the city.
It's even more difficult now, there are really people who want to do something, the battle-hardened General Yun is stationed, and there are still 5,000 troops there.
When leaving, Su Yue also left fifty horses for them, and in a month, those wild horses grew extremely strong and slightly spiritual.
These towns, even if the two armies face each other, will not compete for such towns, and they will be burdens.
It took the group twenty days to arrive in the Northwest City.
The Northwest City is the county seat of the Northwest County, and the entire Northwest County is under the jurisdiction of the Northwest City.
The city tower of the Northwest City could be seen from afar, and Su Yue's spiritual power was released to scan the circle, and she was clear about the situation here.
The Northwest City is worthy of being a county town, unlike other places where it is desolate, but it is very prosperous, and the drought seems to have little effect on it.
The city gate is full of people.
The only thing that spoils the scenery is that there are a lot of displaced people gathered outside the city gate.
As far as the eye can see, there are hundreds of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, but hundreds of thousands, and the displaced people from all parts of the northwest county are all concentrated on the plain five miles outside the city.
It has become a small county town, but the place where it lives is all built sheds.
A real shantytown.
The homeless people who live here and the people who go in and out of the city are not dressed in the same world at all, the homeless people are completely beggars, and everyone is hungry, and everyone's eyes are yearning for the city.
As the group passed by, the eyes of the homeless people were about to fall out, staring at them like they were little fat sheep.
If it weren't for the officers and soldiers, those displaced people would have rushed up.
And Su Yue summed up from the conversations of the homeless people that the reason why the homeless people here did not dare to riot and obediently stationed here, first, someone in the northwest city came out to give porridge every few days, and the homeless people were allowed to enter the city to buy something every day, second, there were also hired homeless people in the city, and third, there were officers and soldiers guarding the northwest city, and the homeless people did not dare to riot.
With the above three points, the homeless people will not take risks if they can live, after all, there are many people who are afraid of death.
But after a few months of porridge, there are many displaced people, and now it is a drop in the bucket, and many displaced people are thinking of other ways.
Qin Ling looked at the Northwest City and immediately asked, "Fourth Master, eldest lady, are we going into the city?" ”
You don't need to enter the city to get to the destination, just walk along the official road at the city gate.
"Go into the city, why don't you go in." Murong Li hooked his lips, then what master must live in this northwest city, otherwise there are officers and soldiers everywhere.
If you want to come to Northwest County, this Northwest City is still living a normal life, and that person will not go to other places.
"Okay, let's go into town." With a wave of his hand, Qin led the team to the city gate.
Before they reached the gates, a group of officers and soldiers blocked their way.
"Where did you come from, please show your certificate before you can enter the city." The officers and soldiers led by him drew their swords and swept them over the people led by Qin.
Qin led the officers and soldiers who wore all the uniforms, and they were from the yamen, and the officers and soldiers led by him did not dare to mess around.
Qin leader immediately took out the official document and handed it to the leading officer and soldier, and the leading officer and soldier read the official document, he looked at this line strangely, he returned the official document to Qin leader, waved his hand at Qin leader, and let him go.
Qin led the way to collect the official documents and led the team into the city.
The leading officer and soldier immediately brought in an officer and soldier, whispered in his ear, and the officer and soldier immediately ran into the city.
The leading officers and soldiers looked at the group of people who were away with tiger eyes, and secretly wondered in their hearts where this is to escort the prisoners, and whether this is good to protect the dignitaries and nobles.
After Qin led the way into the city, he directly found an inn and asked everyone to wash up first and rest for a night.
For more than 20 days, I have been sleeping in the barren mountains and mountains, and I can't stand it even if I am beaten with iron.
This time, Su Yue lived in a room alone, and she could finally enter the space to have a good meal and sleep.
Along the way, she and Murong Li never closed their eyes at night, for fear that someone would attack and kill.
Sure enough, as they expected, several waves of people came to kill, but they were all killed by her spiritual attack.
Some were cleaned up by Murong Li's secret guards, otherwise it would have been so easy to get to the Northwest City.
Su Yue hadn't entered the space yet, there was a knock on the door outside, and when she opened the door, she saw that it was Murong Li.
"Don't you even need to rest?"
Su Yue asked as she let him in and closed the door.
Murong Li: "I'll sleep in my bed." ”
"I'll get your bed out later."
"Don't."
After moving out, where did he have an excuse to be alone with her.
Su Yue thought that he was afraid of being discovered by others, so she said, "Then forget it, you shouldn't be here to sleep, do you have action tonight?" ”
Murong Li nodded, lying on the bed unceremoniously, he smiled: "Yue'er still understands me, when I get to someone else's territory, I have to visit it." ”
Su Yue rolled her eyes at him, and there was someone who secretly visited him at night.
"You want to check that batch of grain, right?"
Murong Li's expression was a little tired, he yawned and said, "Well, look at where you put it, they will definitely not take it out to help the homeless." ”
If he found a place where the grain was hidden, then he would not be polite and collect it for the displaced people.
His supplies were supposed to arrive a little faster than Chaoyan's disaster relief food, and he didn't want to have a grain robbery in the middle, as well as the matter of Yue'er's space, so he wouldn't be so anxious.
Su Yue nodded, seeing that he was indeed tired and moved again at night, the two came to the space, and after washing up, they both went to sleep separately.
At the same time, the emperor received a quick whip, and the express report was exactly the matter of the relief food and relief silver.
He was furious, and immediately summoned a minister to the imperial study to see who to send to retrieve the relief food and silver.
It is impossible to let him send another batch, where there is still silver, and the grain can be sent out again, but where there is something in the future, then he will have more headaches.
It's okay to say that the silver is gone, and you can find a way.
Like this time, if the merchants are asked to donate money and grain, won't the treasury have silver?
But grain is only grown in the ground, and it can't be harvested in a day or two.
So at some point, food is more important than silver.
If something happens again, you can't let people gnaw on the silver.
When the ministers heard the news, they were furious, but none of them wanted to petition for the recovery of the relief food.
At this time, Murong Yi took the initiative to ask Ying: "Father, let the sons go, we will definitely catch those thieves and get back the grain and silver." ”
This time, the prince didn't fight with him, not because he didn't fight, but because he couldn't leave the capital, once there was any change in the capital, he couldn't regret it.
