Chapter 43: Dangerous Situations

The county order is as King Qian guessed, not to mention the food that can fill his stomach and save his life, but he is reluctant to provide any materials in the county to outsiders.

As a county parent official, his current ability can only ensure the personal and property safety of the people in the county, and the displaced people and nobles outside the city are not within his scope of responsibility. He is not obliged to provide them with safeguards.

The master pondered for a while, and asked softly, "My lord really doesn't care about King Qian and the others outside the city?" Those are the big people in the capital, and they are the ones who are usually out of reach, and the adults are really not afraid of offending them? ”

The county commander was embarrassed, he rubbed his eyebrows, "I really don't care, we can't take care of it." Regardless of the tens of thousands of displaced people outside the city, the ranks of King Qian and others added up to several thousand, which is the same number as the people in our county. ”

The most terrible thing is that there is no food in the city, and if the homeless people outside the city do not storm the city gates, the city will be in chaos by itself.

At that time, it will be impossible for the 20 or so officials of the county government to defend the entire county seat, plus the hundreds of strong men who have been recruited.

The master frowned slightly, "If you don't plan to help King Qian, then don't open the city gate, just let someone hang a letter from the city wall." lest the gates of the city be opened a moment and be broken by the outcasts. ”

The county commander played with the jade pendant on his waist, "The master is right, if the city gate is broken, then the people of this city, including you and me, will suffer!" I heard that the capital of Yuzhou is now closed in order to protect itself, not to mention that a sesame petty official like you and me can keep the existing one-third of an acre of land is considered a great merit. Don't dare to ask too much for the time being! ”

Master nodded: "Lord Bo is still complaining to me this morning, since he took charge of Lord Bo, this year is the poorest year, last year the county was out of harvest, and the tax was not collected even a grain of grain." This year's spring planting can not be sown, so it can be seen that this year's tax is about to fail again, and now the official warehouse and the righteous warehouse can only go in and out, and it is even more empty to be able to open the rat juju competition. ”

The county commander sighed greatly, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that this opportunity to get to know King Qian, otherwise, you and I have seized this opportunity, maybe we can go further in our careers." ”

The master frowned, "It can only be said that providence makes people." ”

Between life and career, everyone will choose to live first.

Natural and man-made disasters, surviving in troubled times, food is even more useful than gold and silver.

King Qian's power cannot be underestimated, and he has no way to buy grain in the county, and he has other channels to get food.

Xia Jing looked at the basket placed on the city wall from afar, and knew that the way to replenish grain and grass today was over.

Sure enough, it didn't take long to hear King Qian's angry scolding from Wang Jia!

"This king is a prince of the Yu Dynasty, he has a small county order and dares to let this king eat closed-door soup, this king sees that he has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall! As an official of the Dayu Dynasty, he has no consciousness of doing his best for the Dayu Dynasty, and he is also worthy of being this parent official! ”

The chief guard squinted at the city gate in the distance, and asked solemnly: "Lord Wang, since he is so ignorant, do we need to break this city gate?" This dog official refused to open the city gate, maybe the grain in the official warehouse was greedy for ink, and they did not dare to trade with us because they could not get the food. ”

When King Qian heard this, he pondered for a moment, "Don't say it, it's really possible." ”

Seeing King Qian's intentions, the chief of the guard asked for his opinion again, "Lord Wang, my subordinates are going to gather the brothers?" ”

King Qian did not make a decision immediately, but asked his staff to come and discuss.

When King Qian was young, he was a well-known uncle in the capital, and he often recruited a group of gentlemen to walk around the flower building together, and he didn't know how many confidants he had.

In order to conform to his image of gentleness, there have not been many staff members in the palace, and there are only two people in total.

Moreover, the two staff members lived a leisurely life in the palace, and sometimes they had the illusion that their old age was probably like this.

When the staff came over and heard King Qian's plan, they were so frightened that they hurriedly asked, "Lord Wang, which god killed this bad idea?" ”

"What? What's wrong? King Qian glanced at the chief of the guard without a trace and asked the two staff.

The captain of the heavenly guard shrank his neck and didn't dare to say anything at this time, feeling aggrieved in his heart, he felt that he could be killed if he was disrespectful to the prince. How can his brain compare with these two staff members who have nine turns and eighteen turns in their minds!

Seeing that the prince didn't say who came up with the idea, the staff was angry, "Prince, let's not talk about the impact of attacking the county town on your reputation for the time being, let's talk about the moment, the chief of the guard will recruit all the guards to break the city gate, so who is responsible for the safety of the prince and his family?" ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the homeless people who stayed outside the city gate, "Do you know how many homeless people there are in this large open space outside the city gate?" There are at least 10,000 or 20,000, and if you add the homeless people gathered in the surrounding corners, the number is staggering. If they rise up and rob, we'll all have to finish the game! ”

"In such a dangerous place, someone dares to instigate the prince to go to the trouble of the county order, what is the difference between this and suicide?"

With that, the staff looked at the chief of guard standing aside with suspicion.

The chief guard wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked weakly, "Why are you staring at me all the time?" I am only responsible for the safety of the prince, and I am here to be vigilant. ”

King Qian waved his hand for the chief guard to retreat, and then asked, "Then according to the sir, what should we do now?" ”

The staff observed the homeless people gathered outside the city gate for a while, and said with a solemn expression: "Lord, the fierce and lifeless atmosphere here is not an auspicious place, it is better for us to leave as soon as possible, and we can slowly think of a way after we leave this place." ”

King Qian believed in their ability, and after listening to their advice, he did not stop for a moment, and directly ordered the team to move forward at full speed, and his unhesitating attitude made the two staff members quite satisfied.

It's better to meet a master who listens than to meet someone who doesn't!

Xia Jing sat in the carriage and listened to King Qian's conversation with her mental power, and she sweated for the chief of the guard.

This kid's bad idea is really a deadly rhythm.

Fortunately, in the end, the staff of the royal palace stopped it, otherwise she would have been prepared to go down herself to stop their crazy actions.

The spiritual power was withdrawn from Wang Jia, she observed the displaced people around her, and found the greed in their eyes and the increasingly crazy looks, Xia Jing instantly raised her vigilance.

I only wanted my team to leave this place as quickly as possible, but the huge team stopped, and it was not easy to start again, and the speed was not fast.

The carriage in front had already turned the corner and could no longer see the shadow, and the carriage behind it was still parked and could not move.

How could tens of thousands of displaced people remain indifferent as they watched the wagons loaded with supplies leave before their eyes?

When more than half of the team had turned the bend in the post road, they moved.

Such a large number of displaced people rushed over to grab supplies, even if there were many guards with knives in the team, it would not help.
