Chapter 214: Something Goes Wrong

Out of the city gate, only to see the disaster victims in sight, under the city wall, it is now nearly October, winter is coming, if these people are not settled, then these victims will be frozen to death even if they do not starve to death.

However, it is not easy to resettle these tens of thousands of victims, who have been wandering for many days and have even starved to death on the way to escape the famine.

In the camp of the victims, whether it is the old man with stumbling steps, or the unkempt adult, or even those children who are slightly sensible, they all have a decadent look on their faces.

The entire camp was filled with an atmosphere of near-despair, death.

Yi An couldn't help but ask Huang Zhidao: "Lord Huang, is this drought very big?"

It stands to reason that the distance between Weinan and Chang'an is not very far, if Weinan is seriously affected, then Chang'an has no reason not to be affected!

Near Chang'an, there is no sign of drought.

Huang Zhidao said solemnly: "It's very serious, there are at least hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Weinan, in addition to the people in the city, at least more than 100,000 people are suffering, at least nearly 100,000 disaster victims, began to flow to the cities around Weinan, and Chang'an is the most prosperous place in the whole Yanbei, so the disaster victims who came to Chang'an are also the most, alas!"

Speaking of this, he sighed and said worriedly: "The imperial court is not rich, and after allocating disaster relief funds to Weinan before, it can no longer be taken out, and even those disaster relief funds are used by His Majesty to use his own internal funds, so that he can barely last for a while, and thanks to His Majesty's Shengming, otherwise after this disaster, it will be shaken to the national capital." ”

Huang Zhidao silently calculated in his heart, even if His Majesty's internal secretary served as the disaster relief funds, but after these disaster relief funds were divided equally, each person could only get a few taels of silver, which could not completely solve the difficulties of the disaster victims.

At the current price of rice, one tael of silver can probably buy dozens of catties of rice.

After calculation, these disaster relief funds can only last for four or five months, and if you save a little more, you can probably last until half a year later, which sounds like a short time, but when it is really implemented, it feels that it is not enough.

This means that there will be at least one year in the future when Weinan will not be able to restore people's livelihood, and what if the disaster situation does not improve the next year?

This situation is possible, but there are always more solutions than difficulties, and in the second year, if the situation in Weinan still does not improve, then it is necessary to consider allowing these victims to move elsewhere.

"I'm afraid it's weird. Yi An groaned.

"Xiaoyou, did you find something?" Huang Zhidao couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, but he knew that Yi An had some skills that were different from ordinary people.

Although they haven't been together for a long time, he also knows that the other party is by no means a man of his own words.

Yi An then told Huang Zhidao about the unusualness he had just noticed.

"This ......" Huang Zhidao couldn't help but change his face when he heard this, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly coincided with Yi An's thoughts, this matter was simply too strange, as if someone had deliberately arranged it.

"No, I will report this matter to Your Majesty quickly. ”

"Wait, this matter is not suitable for the time being, after all, it is just speculation at the moment, even if you want to report to the emperor, it can't reach the ears of a third person, the court is mixed, after all, the enemy is in the dark. Yi An shook his head, in fact, even if this matter is reported to the emperor, it may not be able to change, the other party can start a drought, this kind of means is not something that can be used casually.

The other party's cultivation is only afraid that it is unfathomable, no matter how wise and martial the Yanbei Emperor is, then I am just a mortal.

"You're right, those traitors above the court, maybe there are spies of the people behind the scenes. Huang Zhidao nodded thoughtfully, but still dispelled his thoughts, as Yi An said, they are just speculations at the moment, and there is no substantive evidence, plus this matter is widely implicated, so it is better not to disclose it for the time being.

When those victims saw the Praetorian Guards led by Huang Zhidao coming, they seemed to see the light, and they surrounded them one after another, and soon surrounded Huang Zhidao.

They had been here for several days, but instead of relieving them, the officials of the city had closed the gates of the city and kept them in the company of the open air, and many of them had been hungry for a day or two, or even longer, except for a few who had found something to satisfy their hunger.

Because of this, while they have a deep grudge against the government, they are also very eager for the government's relief.

If no one cares about it anymore, then their fate will be worrying.

Now that the officials are here, even if they fight for their lives, they can't let each other go.

This was their only chance.

After all, the four hundred Praetorian Guards were strong and strong, and they quickly moved the agitated victims back for some distance, looking at the victims who seemed to be hungry tigers, who knew if the other party would make any drastic moves.

In their eyes, they can only survive, and even those high-ranking officials are not taken seriously by them.

Looking at the victims who gradually settled down, Huang Zhidao looked certain, and said solemnly: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, Your Majesty has known about the situation here for a long time, and I have been discussing countermeasures in the past few days, and I am the person sent by Your Majesty to provide disaster relief, and I will be fully responsible for the next problems here." ”

Disaster relief?

Among the victims, the atmosphere that was originally a little dead and silent had a bit of a complexion, but it didn't take long for them to seem to think of something, and then their expressions dimmed again.

They have also heard of the current situation of the imperial court, and if the imperial court has money, it will not delay time.

This is most likely the other party's expedient measure, once they believe the other party's rhetoric and let them go, they will never be seen again.

Huang Zhidao's reaction made Huang Zhidao a little embarrassed, it seemed that in the eyes of these victims, the credibility of the imperial court had almost disappeared, he beckoned to the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and motioned for them to bring the food they brought this time to let the victims see.

At this time, only food is the most convincing thing.

Sure enough, the eyes of those victims lit up when they saw the sacks of grain that the Praetorian Guards had brought out.
