As for those who failed to leave the land of Sizhou for various reasons, some of them chose to stay at home and survive either actively or passively, but the vast majority of the remaining people were finally forced by the situation and chose to leave their hometowns with their families.

The people who remained, the people sent by Yu Zizhen generously shared with them all the locations where he fetched water.

Where there is water, there is life, and although this vitality cannot feed all the people in the land of the four states, it is still possible to feed the very few people who are left.

They even left them with a large, fine, dense net that they could eat for a while when the locusts increased.

As for how to eat that thing, those native-born peasant families knew better than the people sent by Yu Zizhen.

And those who are about to leave with their families, they are actually a heavier burden on the people sent by Yu Zizhen than those who stay.

They left late, and as the drought worsened, they no longer had access to food and water whenever and wherever they needed on the way.

On top of that, local officials, who have reacted in hindsight, have begun to limit the continued exodus of their own population.

Fortunately, the vast majority of them only have government officials available at hand, and the government officials are basically locals, just like those who choose to run away with their own family members and neighbors, these government officials are basically more inclined to let their family and relatives and friends live.

Occasionally, there are those who have to act for the tiger, but with their ability, they can't make too much trouble for Yu Zizhen's subordinates.

The only thing that is more troublesome is that there are garrisons nearby, and the garrison generals are in cahoots with local officials.

Yu Zizhen did not mean to show the banner and be the enemy of the imperial court for the time being, so her subordinates all consciously avoided the officers and soldiers.

When encountering a situation where officers and soldiers set up blockages to block the road, they can only open up new paths and let the displaced people take a detour, or they can pay bribes and lure the officers and soldiers guarding the checkpoint with gold, silver and jewelry.

Fortunately, more than ninety percent of the checkpoints have low mountains, wilderness or country roads nearby for them to detour, otherwise the cost of the bribe alone would be enough for Yu Zizhen to drink a pot.

Because Yu Zizhen and his subordinates helped them solve most of the problems, the road of escape for those victims was much smoother than they imagined.

At first, they didn't have much special emotions about this mysterious and powerful caravan, and only numbly regarded the other party as a group of profiteers who had made a fortune.

Gradually, however, people's hearts were all inclined to this caravan where the price of goods was lower, the price of the buyer was higher, the accompanying doctor did not charge them for consultation, and occasionally gave them a free roll of straw mats to help them bury their dead relatives.

In order to allow them to find the burial place of their loved ones' bodies in the future, those strong men with strong backs will carve the burial location on thin bamboo slices one by one after the corpse is buried.

Although many people may not have the economic conditions to re-take this road of escape in their lives, let alone come to take away the bones of their relatives in the future, when they got the small piece of bamboo with the details of "XX Prefecture (Government), XX County, XX Town, XX Mountain between XX Village and XX Village", their bereavement was still greatly comforted.

And as the drought continues to worsen and prices continue to soar, the victims found that this caravan was very different, in fact, to a certain extent, to ensure their personal safety.

Whether it was those who wanted to steal, rob, bully women, abduct and sell children, or those who hoarded and prepared to make a fortune, the existence of this caravan became a great obstacle for them.

They relied on their strong force value, brilliant minds, quick reflexes, and a steady stream of supplies to curb the evil of human nature to a large extent.

Those who want to hoard Juqi are depressed, they can't figure out who is behind the seemingly inexhaustible supplies of this caravan?

At the beginning, their speculation about the backers behind this caravan had been limited to a few local clans, but as time went on, they observed the owners behind their peers one after another.

With this list, everyone quickly discovered that according to the results of their observations, hadn't all the local clans been killed?

Then who is the backer behind the hateful caravan that blocked their financial path?

Everyone started a new round of investigation and temptation, but what made them depressed was that they investigated and investigated, but they never found out who was behind the other party.

As for the results of the temptation. After several encounters, they didn't take advantage of it at all, and no matter what tricks they made, the other party could cut off their outstretched tentative hand.

In the end, those who want to hoard Juqi can only infer from the comprehensive strength and tough attitude shown by the other party, and the other party must have a great future.

But this was far from enough for them, and with this information alone, they couldn't judge whether they could be ruthless against this caravan.

Just when they were entangled and hesitant, Yu Zizhen began her material delivery to these four states and surrounding states and counties.

As Yu Zizhen had predicted, even if the disaster was revealed one step ahead of schedule because of her relationship, so that the magistrates of the four states could not erase the matter in a way at all, but could only retreat to the next best thing, and wrote to the imperial court one after another, asking the imperial court to allocate funds for disaster relief, showing their attitude of actively solving the problem, but the Daqi imperial court, which received the news earlier, still failed to act as soon as possible.

It takes time for the excerpt to go to the capital, it takes time for the officials and lords in the capital to argue and come up with a reason, and it also takes time for the imperial court to arrange manpower and allocate materials for disaster relief.

These three links have all been completed, and almost two months have passed, and those who are anxious and really want to provide disaster relief, such as the Qingliu series headed by Yang Zhengde, have bubbled up and disappeared in their mouths, and in the end, even the bitter decoction can no longer suppress their full anger.

If it weren't for Yu Zizhen's intervention, the number of deaths among the displaced people would have been greatly reduced, and the people who wanted to make trouble were also picked out by Yu Zizhen's people in the disaster victims' group and sent to other places for secret detention and interrogation, so that a civil unrest that should have affected half of Daqi would have disappeared invisibly, and Daqi would have been completely chaotic by this time.

But she gave all her efforts, but the vast majority of officials in Daqi didn't care at all.
