"But 10,000 taels of silver is not a big deal for such a huge city, it should be easy to take it out, and you don't have to worry about giving them the money. Wang Yan said.

"10,000 taels is not much, that is also for the previous Fuyang County, this summer drought in the sky, there has been no rain for several months, the crops and grain in the field are scorched by the sun like hay, there have only been a few drizzles in the autumn, and those dead crops can not be resurrected even if the rain is abundant. Even if the crops that are fortunate enough to survive the hot day, they will produce very little food. This year, there is almost no harvest in the entire Fuyang county, and the food I eat today is all purchased by me from other cities. ”

"The price of the grain itself, combined with the cost of transportation, is very high, and even if I have adjusted the price of food below the cost, there are still many people who cannot afford to buy food. They are still asking for this 10,000 taels of silver at this moment, which is to pick up the skin and bones of Fuyang County. I can also collect this ten thousand taels of silver to repair the formation, but at least half of the people in the city will starve to death. Yu Pu was a little helpless when he said these words, the formation was not important, he was more worried about the life of the people in the city.

"Is the annual disaster already so bad?" Wang Yan asked.

"Who says it isn't, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have to worry about just 10,000 taels of silver, but I was really crushed by a straw. ”

"Can you take me to see what the situation of the victims is?"

Yu Pu glanced at Wang Yan's sincere eyes and nodded, he didn't want those miserable pictures to pollute the high eyes of the immortals, but it was also a good thing that the immortals could see the suffering in this world.

Seeing Yu Pu's agreement, Wang Yan said to Yu Lan'er: "I and Yu City Lord will go to the disaster victims, you wait here for a while, and when I come back, I will tell you in secret." ”

Yu Lan'er was not hypocritical, and she was also sad when she heard that the people were affected, "Ah Qi, you don't have to worry about me, the big thing is important, and the secret matter, you can tell me whenever you want." ”

"Can you tell me where those victims are?" asked Wang Yan as he turned to Yu Pu.

"The suffering people are usually in the end of the alley in the north of the city, and it will take about an hour to walk here, and I will arrange for the carriage so that we will arrive sooner. Yu Pu said.

"Don't bother so much, we'll be quicker in the past. Wang Yan threw the Evil Sword into the air, stepped on the Evil Sword with Yu Pu in his hand, and galloped towards Weiyu Alley.

In just half a burnt incense time, Wang Yan and Yu Pu had already arrived in the middle of Weiyu Lane.

There was not a single pedestrian in the narrow alleys, not even the sound of chickens and dogs barking, or rather, there were no pigs and dogs like the village at all.

"Let's look for a random person. ”

Wang Yan landed in the courtyard of a house with Yu Pu, and at the same time hid his and Yu Pu's figures, and watched the situation in the house at the door.

The time is already Chenzheng, the family has not yet gotten up, there are six people in the family, all lying on the bed, only two tattered bedding one bed on the old man and the old woman, one bed on the body of a large and one small child.

The young men and women slept in rag-like clothes, most of their skin was exposed, but fortunately it was not long in autumn, and if it was in the depths of winter, they would have frozen to death.

Seeing the young woman struggling from the bed, trembling towards the position of the stove in the house, Wang Yan didn't know that a young and strong age, but the pace was like an old man whose body had decayed.

The woman scooped out a small half bowl of rice from the rice bowl, and with a shaking, her wrist fell down from the middle of the bowl and a small half back into the rice bowl.

Wang Yan can clearly see that the rice in the rice jar is about to bottom out.

The woman poured all the grains of rice into the pot, added a large pot of water, covered the pot, and started a fire in the hearth.

Ten minutes later, the woman lifted the lid of the pot, and Wang Yan saw that the water before had turned into a pale white rice soup, the kind that was crystal clear.

The woman scooped out a little bit of the only grain of rice and put it into a bowl, and then put a little rice soup on it, so she gradually walked into the old woman's side with the rice soup, and she called softly: "Ah Niang, get up and eat." ”

That small voice, Wang Yan felt that if she didn't pay attention to listening to her side, she would skip it.

But the old woman slowly opened her eyes, perhaps she had been waiting for this moment.

After the woman carefully fed the rice soup to the old woman, she turned around and served it.

After she had finished feeding all five people in the house, there was only half a bowl of rice soup left in the bowl in her hand, and she drank it in one gulp and then returned to the bed tremblingly and continued to lie down.

Sleeping without moving your body is the best way to fight hunger.

Seeing this scene of human suffering, Wang Yan couldn't bear it anymore, his mood became extremely restless, and he asked Yu Pu, "Do they all spend their meals like this?"

Yu Pu shook his head and said, "Where do they get the meal, they will only eat this meal every day." ”

After hearing this, Wang Yan's heart shook violently, he suppressed his emotions, and asked in a slightly trembling voice: "How many households are there in Fuyang County like this?"

"Based on what we know, there are at least 10,000 households. Yu Pu replied.

When the word of more than 10,000 households came out of Yu Pu's mouth, it was so shocking that Wang Yan couldn't bear it anymore.

There are more than 10,000 households, that is, tens of thousands of people are in danger of dying at any time, and there are still young children among them.

He faced Yu Pu and scolded angrily: "So many victims in the city can only survive on this thin rice soup, how do you act as the lord of the city, you can't give some food to the people, how can you bear to see such a scene, and those rich people, in the city restaurant to watch these disaster victims and ignore it." Their hearts are not made of meat. ”

Wang Yan is really angry, and anyone will feel angry when he sees such a scene.

Yu Pu faced Wang Yan's scolding and sighed: "Immortals, in addition to the daily use of the City Lord's Mansion, I used the rest of the money to buy food, and those rich people in the city actually donated a lot of money, I can't let them go bankrupt to subsidize the victims, but there are too many of these victims, one person has a mouthful of rice that is tens of thousands of catties of grain, and the surplus grain of these families is given to them by me for free, and they also know the difficulties of Fuyang County, and they don't complain about me." ”

"What about the Holy City, after such a big disaster, don't you distribute food?" Hearing Yu Pu's words, Wang Yan knew that in fact, they were all working hard to help the victims, and it was already very difficult to let them starve to death alone, and it would be too difficult to let them eat enough.

"The Holy City refuted my performance on the pretext that I was actually asking for the cost of repairing the formation in the name of drought, and after that, I went to the sea several times without any news. ”

"All of them are brutes. At this time, Wang Yan's emotions were already extremely angry.
