Chapter 256: Porridge Factory
Yang Fei gave the key to Lu Yao, the maid behind him, and said, "Go, open the house and let the prince take a look!" ”
Lu Yao's eyes flashed, and she answered crisply, and took the key to open the door.
But when Lu Yao opened the door of the first room, he was stunned.
The house was empty, not to mention any food, not even a pocket for food!
"Miss!"
Lu Yao turned her head in panic and motioned for Yang Fei to come and see.
Yang Fei frowned, Lu Yao was too young, how could she babble.
But when she swayed the waist of the water snake, came to the door of the house, and saw the appearance in the house, the whole person was stunned!
Lu Yao hurriedly opened all the doors.
Empty!
Empty!
Empty!
……
It's all empty!
Yang Fei only felt dizzy, and her eyes were really dark.
Li Che's heart was about to cool.
Is this the surprise?
"Yang Fei!" He gritted his teeth and glared at Yang Fei angrily, waiting for her to give him an explanation.
Yang Fei was yelled at by him and came back to his senses, and said in a panic: "I, I obviously exchanged it for food!" ”
"Lu Yao!" Yang Fei hurriedly called Lu Yao, wanting to know what was going on!
Lu Yao was about to cry and said, "Miss, all the food is bought according to Miss's orders, and it is also according to Miss's orders, and no one will be sent to guard it!" I'm afraid that the guardian will guard and steal! Can...... This ......"
Speaking of the word "thief", Li Che's heart lit up, and he hurriedly searched around, and sure enough, he found a few footprints at the base of the wall.
Looking outside the wall again, I saw that there were obvious marks on the wall to build a ladder, and there were some fragments of rice scattered on the wall.
It seems that someone climbed over the wall and stole all the food.
Li Che went from great joy to anger, and it only took a few seconds, and he was so angry that he was almost unable to stand still.
He hurriedly asked the attendant behind him: "Can you announce the establishment of a porridge factory?" ”
The attendant's face was also very bad, and he said, "We spread it before we left the mansion, and now ...... I'm afraid the whole city will know about it! ”
Li Che was so angry that he kicked on the attendant's leg and scolded: "Idiot! ”
The attendant was kicked down, and he was very aggrieved in his heart, isn't it the news that you let people spread?
Li Che snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and strode away.
Yang Fei was left standing in the courtyard for a long time and didn't come back to his senses.
Food is gone!
And the rumor that she is going to open a porridge factory to help the people has been released!
This...... What does she use to help the victims?
What else to exchange for your own fame!
Lu Yao leaned over and said, "Miss......"
Yang Fei turned her head abruptly and glared at her viciously, "What's the matter!" ”
Lu Yao said in horror: "That...... The slave maid heard that there were porridge factories at each city gate, and ...... The eldest lady seems to be also opening a porridge factory to give porridge......"
"What did you say?" Yang Fei's eyes were round and he shouted, "Go!" ”
She wants to see where Yang Mu got the food!
The carriage struggled through the noisy streets to the south gate.
In a vast area outside the city gate, there were several large sheds that had been propped up, steaming.
Ragged victims sat on the ground, holding thick and broken bowls and drinking porridge.
Lu Yao got out of the carriage and inquired one by one, only to know that Yang Mu had been giving porridge here for almost half a month.
Yang Mu's porridge factory is different from other places, if you want to drink porridge for free, you need the old, weak, sick and disabled.
If you are a strong laborer who wants to drink porridge, you need to work.
Either to chop wood and make porridge, or to carry food, or to maintain order, or to set up tents for the victims......
Occasionally, there was trouble, and the strong laborers who maintained order were easily crushed.
When encountering someone who couldn't open his eyes and could fight, Yang Mu made a move and settled it in an instant.
The women, on the other hand, need to do needlework, do laundry, and receive porridge.
In the carriage, Yang Fei listened to Lu Yao's words with a look of disdain.
Yang Mu is a fool, obviously he gave porridge for free, but he had to work to give it.
Who will appreciate it?
Such a porridge factory, which will not be open for long, will be replaced by those porridge factories that receive porridge for free completely!
Yang Fei asked Lu Yao to get into the car, and simply walked around the porridge factories in the four city gates in the southeast, northwest, and north.
The north city gate is a porridge factory opened by the imperial court, and the soup is thin and watery, even if the children eat it, they are hungry in less than half an hour.
The West City Gate is a porridge factory opened by the Lin family, and like Yang Mu's porridge factory, strong laborers need to work to eat. However, the porridge is as thick as Yang Mu's, even if a strong man eats it, he can be hungry for a while.
The east city gate was opened by the Su family of Wang Su of Lin'an County, and the porridge was not as thick as Yang Mu and the Lin family, but it was not as thin as the imperial court.
On the way home, Yang Fei was silent for a long time.
Where did Yang Mu's food come from?
happened to lose the grain himself, and Yang Mu had the food, which is too coincidental!
Also, he was mistaken for being clever and thought that as long as he didn't send someone to guard the grain, no one would know what was in the yard.
But all the food was stolen.
Li Che is there, how do you explain it?
Also, she is going to wait for the time when there is no food in the capital, and then take it out and store it, so that it can be sold at a good price.
What now?
No, she wants to find the place where Yang Mu stored the grain, so that she can snatch the grain back!
"Go to Prince Su's Mansion!" Yang Fei commanded.
She has no manpower now, and if she wants to find a place where Yang Mu has stored food, she can only turn to Li Che for help.
Three days later, Li Che finally found Yang Mu's place to store grain.
It's just that Li Che has no way to steal the grain.
Because Yang Mu's grain storage place is too much, it is actually in the Yang family's military camp!
And Lin Xiao's place of grain storage is in the Lin family's military camp.
In these two places, even with an army, it is not easy to grab food, not to mention that there is no army under his hands at all!
Prince Su has no military power!
Li Che was so angry that he didn't know what to say!
He even felt that it was wrong to give Yang Fei the position of a concubine at the beginning!
This idiot is obviously only worthy of being a side concubine!
The news of the establishment of the porridge factory had already gone out, and Li Che could only endure the pain and take out a hundred stones of grain for the victims to eat.
It is only open for two hours a day, and the stall is closed after the distribution, so that it can barely last for a few days.
After another half a month, more and more people from other places rushed to the capital to flee, basically all the way to beg, some from the south and some from the north.
The gates of the capital were not allowed to enter the city, and these victims gathered at the gates, and more and more people gathered.
The North City Gate, which was in charge of the imperial court, made trouble several times and was suppressed.
And the porridge factory of the Su family in Dongchengmen has also stopped giving porridge, the Su family's stock of grain is not very much, and the supply of porridge factory has lost a lot during this time, and the porridge factory can no longer be groomed, otherwise the Su family will not be able to afford to eat by themselves.
The West Gate and the South Gate were the most crowded.
In fact, at the beginning of the epidemic, there were the least number of people at the West City Gate and the South City Gate, because most of the people who came to receive the porridge were people who still had some surplus food at home.
They don't want to work, they want to be fed.
But later, there were more and more victims, and the people had no surplus food at home, and the clear soup and water in the imperial court were not enough.
And the Su family also stopped giving porridge.
Therefore they all gathered at the South Gate and the West Gate.
Although these two porridge factories need to work to get food, they are real porridge, and chopsticks are inserted into the porridge and do not fall.
