Walking until noon, there were such scenes all the way, looking at these, they understood that they were afraid that many areas would not harvest this year. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When they went to Qingyun City, it was far less miserable, and now in less than a month, so many people have had to leave their homes because of famine.

At this time, there was a man with a withered yellow face who looked at this group of people with throbbing and fear in the depths of his eyes, and when he saw Su Bingnan in the carriage, his eyes lit up, and he knew that this person was the leader.

He hesitated for a while, walked towards Su Bingnan, and was stopped by a person halfway through.

"My lord, please save our family, we just can't hold on. ”

Su Bingnan saw a woman and two children looking here not far away, and knew that this was his family.

"Let him come. Su Bingnan made a gesture.

The man came to the carriage in surprise, fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowed a few times, and then looked at Su Bingnan nervously.

When some of the hungry people around saw this man, they also thought about it, and they got a little closer to Su Bingnan, but they were stopped by those wearing official uniforms.

Su Bingnan looked at the person in front of him, frowned and said, "Why did you leave your hometown." ”

The man's eyes were red, his eyes were full of tears, and he said in a muffled voice: "My lord, the villain is a cropper in Pengcheng, Xuzhou, and this year there was a drought, and all the grain in the field was ruined. Originally, the villain was expecting the government to provide disaster relief and help one or two, but he didn't expect it to be all in the soup. ”

Su Bingnan knows that Dahao's national policy has always attached great importance to food, established grain depots in various places, and opened warehouses for relief every year of famine.

In the early years, this system showed great power, and after a disaster was affected, the extent and scope of the disaster could be determined through procedures such as disaster reporting, disaster survey, and household examination, and the imperial court knew the severity of the disaster.

Then, according to the affected areas and population, the total amount of grain released will be approved, and finally the grain will be allocated to the disaster-stricken areas.

Listening to the man's account, Su Bingnan knew his hardship, because of this disaster relief system, in the end, the people need to go through many links.

In other words, after the grain is transported to the disaster area, according to the regulations, the amount must be calculated according to the household registration, and with this invoice, the disaster victims can then receive the grain with the ticket.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, Dahao had strict laws and regulations and clear politics, and naturally few people dared to make decisions on disaster relief, but now, everything has undergone many changes.

There is no perfect system, and greedy people up and down in Xuzhou always have a way to make a profit. There are two kinds of tickets issued by Dahao Disaster Relief, one is a grain ticket, and the other is a porridge ticket.

It is conceivable that the porridge ticket is an emergency relief, when a disaster area is starving, it is more necessary to take a temporary soup kitchen, at this time the disaster victims queue up for invoices, one person one ticket, one ticket a spoonful or a bowl of porridge.

The problem is not in the porridge ticket, the drought has been going on for months, and now the fields around Pengcheng are almost unharvested, but the rest of Xuzhou is far less affected than Pengcheng.

As the capital of Xuzhou, Pengcheng needs to give priority to ensuring the supply of grain, although the officials' rice is distributed by the imperial court, but the wealthy nobles and landlords and gentry of Pengcheng ...... These people can't go hungry.

Xuzhou's interests are intertwined. Different from the situation of Ying Tianfu, the officialdom here has long been in chaos, and the Xuzhou Assassin does not have considerable prestige, on the contrary, according to Su Bingnan's knowledge, Xuzhou has completely become a paradise for corrupt officials and mediocre officials.

As early as the beginning of the drought in Xuzhou, under the signal of Thorn Shiliang Almighty, the disaster relief mechanism was activated.

The man in front of him who was facing the withered yellow received a grain ticket at that time, and also exchanged for a certain amount of grain.

But at the same time, the price of grain has also risen rapidly, and the grain merchants have the support of major forces in Xuzhou. During the founding of the People's Republic of China, the price of grain once reached 30 wen per stone, and now all over Xuzhou, 500 wen can not buy a bucket of grain.

Those grain merchants made a lot of money, and the officials naturally got his share, the wealthy families participated in it and made a lot of money, and the Jianghu sect forces with backgrounds were also very satisfied as participants or thugs.

Many middle-class families in Pengcheng broke their money to save their lives and spent huge sums of money to buy life-saving food.

What about the peasant households outside the city? They can't afford to eat this food at all, and these grains that they have always had with their sweat in the past have nothing to do with them now.

They may have spent all their wealth and those grain tickets to hold on for a while, but the question is how long they can hold on to just ordinary farmers.

Since ancient times, farmers have been reluctant to leave their homes, and the land is their lifeblood, if they can't survive, how can they abandon their crops that have been passed down from generation to generation and flee to Yingtianfu like lost dogs?

Those officials in Xuzhou, because they had released the grain tickets before, they were at ease not to let go or to release less porridge tickets.

The more this happens, the higher the price of food and the more they earn.

After all, when the price of food soared, the "kind-hearted" parents paid a "huge" price to provide grain tickets, and now it is not difficult to understand that they are unable to provide disaster relief due to practical reasons.

Even if he had been mentally prepared for a long time, Su Bingnan still took a breath when he heard the man's statement, he couldn't imagine that Liang Quann's courage was so big.

He is not afraid of the court for the sake of silver?

Su Bingnan looked at him and said, "Pengcheng's fields are all bad??"

"Exactly. ”

"But I don't think your voice is Pengcheng's accent. ”

The man approached Su Bingnan and begged: "My lord, can you take pity on our family of four, as long as the adult is sent in the future, I will be born and die for the adult." ”

Su Bingnan looked at the man, nodded and said, "What do you take to be born and die for me." ”

The man stood up, turned his back to the sun, knelt down again, raised his right hand to look at Su Bingnan, and said loudly: "I, Jiang Huaqing, swear to the sky, as long as the adults can save my family of four, I, Jiang Huaqing, will be ......."

Su Bingnan waited for his next step.

Jiang Huaqing shouted: "I, Jiang Huaqing, should kill you as a traitor!"

With a roar, he quickly took out a dagger, and his body quickly bounced up, stabbing straight into Su Bingnan's chest.

Su Bingnan faced the sun, squinted his eyes, and looked at Jiang Huaqing's hideous face.

His muscles bulged all over his body, and he seemed to have been starved for a long time, but he was actually very strong, without a trace of fat.

Feeling the sound of the dagger grazing through the air, Jiang Huaqing's eyes showed monstrous hatred, and he yelled: "Brothers, do it!"

The hungry people around took out their weapons out of nowhere, and they came up one after another, slashing at these dozens of people and horses, and the scene was extremely chaotic for a while.

Jiang Huaqing's eyes widened angrily, and the sharp blade of the dagger emitted a cyan cold light, which was the color of poison.

Bang!!!

After a loud bang, Jiang Huaqing flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and when his body reached mid-air, a mouthful of blood sprayed outward as if he was dying, staining his thin clothes.

Su Bingnan held the dagger in his hand, didn't pay any attention to the man, turned around, and watched the hundreds of hungry people with swords and his side killing together.
