Xia Yuan really had no way to take this dog than the prince, and wanted to tie him back, but this dog thing raised his head and said that this palace is the prince, who dares!

It really calmed everyone present, and no one dared to tie him up.

Since he can't drive it away, he can only take this unlucky child with him, not to mention letting Zhu Houzhao go back, he is also a little uneasy, this is the plain, there are no mountain bandits, but there must be bandits.

Along the way, the flat land was flooded, the city collapsed, everyone flocked to the heights, and the government was no longer able to maintain order at this time, and in a worse case, the people in the government were dead.

In anarchy, morality alone cannot restrain human nature, and the gathering place of the survivors has most likely evolved into the law of the jungle.

For the sake of a bite to eat, anything can be done, and hundreds, thousands, or even thousands of young and strong people will become extremely vicious bandits, robbing people and food.

The dozen or so victims in the team, the food they dug up from the rubble, was robbed.

Those who robbed the grain used to be civilians, but now they are bandits.

As a Hanlin, Xia Yuan does not have the right to transfer troops, and these thousands of young men are the source of his confidence.

Another confidence is that it has been eight days since the collapse of the earth, and eight days have passed. The best time for rescue has been lost, but it is far from the worst.

Even if thousands of young and strong people have become bandits, they have never become a single big force.

It is just that the family, the same village, and even the same county are used as ties to form one bandit group after another.

These forces rob each other of food and materials until there is nothing to rob, and when the rescue of the imperial court does not come again, all the bandits will be integrated into a big force, and then go to other provincial capitals and counties to rob.

In this way, a rebellion arose.

And the rescue of the imperial court is always late, so after natural disasters, it is always accompanied by man-made disasters.

It was supposed to be disaster relief, but in the end, it became a counterinsurgency.

Now I am in a hurry, because after the landslide, there are still floods, and even if there is food in the entire Puzhou, there is not much.

He had to arrive when all the food in the hands of the victims was gone, and use the food in his hands to integrate one bandit group after another, so that they could turn from bandits back to civilians, and prevent large-scale rebellions.

Otherwise, when all the bandits are forced to be integrated in one place, his thousand-strong food transport team will only become an appetizer for the traitors.

At dusk, thousands of people came to a high slope and could be seen gathered here.

Seeing so many survivors, Xia Yuan didn't have the slightest joy, his heart sank at first, and he waved his hand and shouted: "Stop, take out all the hoes and shovels you carry!" ”

Some people don't know why, some people seem to have enlightenment, but they all stop and take off the hoe and shovel from the wheelbarrow.

Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao also wanted to ask what to do with a hoe and shovel, and should he go to distribute grain for disaster relief.

He had been hungry for the past two days, and he understood what a terrible torture hunger was, a burning stomach with red eyes, and a hungry desire to eat people.

But before he could say anything, he saw the eyes of the victims, as if they were examining their prey, and as if they were about to move, until they had hoes and shovels in their hands.

These victims seem to have died down, but they are still staring at their thousands of people, as if they are weighing something.

Such a discovery was like a sharp awl, which suddenly pierced Zhu Houzhao's heart.

He saw the miserable situation of Puzhou along the way, saw these broken walls, and saw the corpses of people and animals floating in the dirty muddy water, so he wanted to follow, and wanted to come with him to help the disaster.

But now, he was silent, and felt that the disaster relief had become a terrible and unworthy thing.

We have worked so hard to bring food to save you, but you are like this.

Xia Yuan didn't have time to pay attention to the depressed expression of Prince Zhu, and just looked at the entire camp of the victims with his eyes.

I didn't see anyone cooking on the fire, there was a mess everywhere, and under the spread of hunger, these people had turned into hungry wolves, and morality and royal law were all forgotten.

Of the thousands of victims, a small number of them were women, children, the old and the weak, and most of them were young and strong men.

No one was standing, some were sitting on the ground, and many more were lying down to save their strength, but they were all facing their side.

Now I didn't rush up, I was just weighing, weighing whether I could eat them.

Xia Yuan was looking at these victims, and these victims were also looking at them, and their eyes were peeping at these uninvited guests, and they didn't know who these people were.

After a few days of walking, everyone was covered in mud, and even if they were wearing official robes, they couldn't see what they were.

The atmosphere was a little tense, and the muscles on Xia Yuan's body were already tense, but he tried his best to straighten his waist and said loudly: "You all prick up your ears for this official to hear clearly!"

This official is an official appointed by the imperial court to come to the disaster relief, and now he is carrying thousands of stones of grain, and there are hundreds of thousands of stones of grain being transported here. Come out for this officer! ”

“.”

Hearing the officials appointed by the imperial court, the first reaction of these victims was disbelief, how could the imperial court come so quickly, and wait for at least more than a month, or even several months.

When he heard the grain of thousands of stones, thousands of young people had already stood up, as if they wanted to move forward, but when they heard all the words, they retracted their steps and froze in place.

After a short silence, a sturdy man stood up from the ground, slowly approached, a pair of glowing eyes swept towards thousands of people, each of whom was stared at by his eyes, unconsciously frightened, and some even took two steps back.

In the end, the man's eyes looked at Xia Yuan, and he stared straight at it.

This man is afraid that he is more than 1.9 meters, Xia Yuan still has to look up at him, but after only one glance, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped it fiercely according to the man's face.

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, followed by his broken drink, "What do you want to do by staring at this official like this?" Kneel down and answer to the officer! ”

was slapped in the face by this one, and the man suddenly froze in place, and everyone present was also stunned, and they hadn't reacted yet.

At this moment, the man suddenly knelt down: "The head of the Puzhou Express Class has seen Lord Qincha!" ”

"Name."

"The small surname is Shi, and the cheap name is Dashan."

"Shi Dashan, there is no mountain in this Puzhou, you have become a mountain."

"The little ones don't dare."

"Don't dare?"

Xia Yuan sneered, "Your eyes are vicious, what's the matter, you're hungry and want to eat your own official?" ”

"The small, the little one has no intention of doing so, but it's really hungry for too long."

"Can you look down on Shangguan when you're hungry? If the official is hungry, won't he still have to look down on the emperor? ”

Speaking of this, Xia Yuan's eyes were half-closed, and his voice was faint, as if he was floating from the sky, infiltrating people with strands, "Or do you want to kill officials and rebel?" ”

"The little one has no objection!"

"And what do these victims behind you mean now?"

Shi Dashan looked behind him when he heard this, and saw that thousands of young people were already standing up and about to move.

Xia Yuan's faint sneer sounded again, "According to the official, I'm afraid that these victims are just waiting for your Shi Bantou to give an order, and then they will rush over and eat the official alive, right?" ”

Hearing this, Shi Dashan suddenly shouted: "Go back to Lao Tzu!" ”

“.”

In the face of this roar, one by one the victims retreated.

Xia Yuan's heart was relieved, but he still had a smile on his face, and his voice was fluttering, "Shi Bantou is so prestigious. Just a word, these victims are so obedient. According to this official's opinion, I am afraid that if the court is one step late, these good people will become thieves under you! ”

Shi Dashan lowered his head, feeling that the back of his neck was sweating, and the more this Shangguan spoke like this, the more frightened he became.

This is clearly that there is no fear, and without tens of thousands of troops, you can't say such a feeling.

"Small. The little ones don't dare. ”

"What do you want to be food, or is it an army of the imperial court to quell the rebellion?"

"The little ones want food."

"If you want food, the official can only give you food, you just want the army, and the official doesn't have it now."

Hearing this, Shi Dashan raised his head suddenly, but met Xia Yuan's smiling face, which seemed to him to be a kind of gloomy smile, "What, do you feel confident?" You want to kill the official and rebel, right? ”

"The little ones don't dare!"

Shi Dashan's body trembled, and he slammed his head on the ground, his head touching the dirt deeply.

Obviously strong like a wild bull, but at this time he trembled like a docile sheep.

"Whether you dare or not, want to or not, since this official has come here, then give this official a good service, this has nothing to do with whether there is an army, and it has nothing to do with whether there is food, only that the official is an official, and you are a servant!"

In the end, Xia Yuan's voice suddenly increased, and then softened again, "Shi Bantou thinks that what this official said is right?" ”

Shi Dashan took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "What the adults said is extremely right! ”

"Thinking of the disaster in Puzhou, it is the time of employing people, this official will be extrajudicial and gracious, first remember your disrespect today, in order to see the after-effects."

"Thank you, sir!"

Xia Yuan didn't say anything more, and kicked him a few times with the muddy boots, "Go, call those disaster victims behind you to come and receive food, one pound of food per person, line up, no noise, no noise, understand?" ”

"The little one understands."

"Then go quickly."

"Yes!"

Shi Dashan responded, then got up from the ground and quickly beckoned the victims to line up to receive food.

It was only at this time that Xia Yuan's heart completely relaxed, his tense muscles finally relaxed, and the hands behind him were still shaking slightly.

Zhu Houzhao came over awkwardly, and he couldn't see the expression on his face full of stains, but his eyes were bright and shining with a different kind of light, "Master, you are really."

I wanted to find a word to describe it, but I was short of words and couldn't find a suitable adjective.

Xia Yuan continued: "My beep is really round, a full score of 100, give 82 points, and the remaining 18 points will be sent in the form of 666." ”

“？”

Zhu Houzhao looked confused, and quickly said: "I don't understand what you're talking about, but I just saw that this palace was really excited, especially the master's slap, which was as graceful as it was." ”

Looking at the tower-like man before, especially the kind of glowing eyes sweeping over, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, but he really didn't expect Xia Yuan to slap it with a slap.

Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao waved it with his hand again, and the kind of slap with the back of his hand and slap it with the back of his hand is really smooth, and he feels chic just by looking at it.

Immediately, he looked around in the team, and the team of thousands of people couldn't find where Liu Jin was for a while.

But he knew that Liu Jin was hiding in the team.

"Go, bring Liu Jin to the palace, and the palace will use him to practice."

Ignoring the dog prince who became excited for some reason, Xia Yuan asked Wang Shouren to stay in charge of the grain release, and immediately called a few young men and walked into the camp of the victims.

This is a disaster area, there is no government, no royal law, and there is not even order, and moral restraint does not have the slightest effect, but at this time it is already in order, holding broken bowls, or cloth bags, or hemming up clothes, and lining up to get food.

No one dares to make a noise, no one is noisy, just these people look at them as if they are looking at their prey, whether they are officials or bandits, kill first and rob first.

But now he has picked up the rank and humility of those eight days ago.

Obviously, Xia Yuan's unicorn suit couldn't see the patterned face, but these victims looked at him with fear in their eyes, and in addition, they were grateful.

Xia Yuan also discovered this, but he also knew that this alone was not enough, the hearts of people gathered by fear were like a dam piled up with sand, a wave would be washed away, gratitude would not work, there was gratitude now, but in the future, it will only be taken for granted.

It will even promote Mien and fight Mi hatred.

It's a force of thousands, and there will be more in the rest of the world.

He had to subdue these thousands of people first, and then rely on thousands of people to subdue more people, like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger.

Then organize people to go to the boat to transport grain, organize people to rebuild the Yellow River embankment, organize people to salvage the corpses soaked in the water, and burn them quickly, if it is slowed down, the plague will be rampant.

As he walked, he thought about it, and when he passed a simple shed, a woman came out of it, her clothes dusty, holding two broken bowls in her hands, and a little girl on her back.

The little girl was only four or five years old, one leg seemed to be broken, tied with a gray cloth, her eyes were tightly closed, her face was like gold paper, and she looked dying.

The woman saw Xia Yuan coming with a few people, obviously a little timid, lowered her head and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Xia Yuan, "Don't rush to get food first, take your daughter to see first, we are here with a doctor and medicine." ”

The frightened woman's eyes finally lit up, as if she had ignited hope, and asked eagerly, "Doctor. Where is it? ”

"Right where you get your bread."

As he spoke, Xia Yuan looked at a young man behind him again, "You go and talk to Wang Shouren, and let him arrange for those imperial doctors to start the consultation, they should also make their efforts after being pushed for so many days." ”

"Carry your daughter on your back and go with him."

"Huh!"

The woman answered, just wanted to leave, but stopped again, then knelt down, did not speak, just kowtowed a few times, and then got up in a hurry, and ran over with her daughter on her back.

Xia Yuan looked at her back, and said to the young man next to him: "You went over and found more than a dozen people to shout in this camp, just say that the imperial court brought medicine this time, and also brought a doctor, so that they could go to treat their injuries if they were injured, and the voice was louder, and they shouted with gongs and drums." ”
