Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

"Yes, but it's just to pretend to be an official~~" Jiang Yuyan blinked her shrewd eyes, and whispered a few words to everyone.

"Hahaha, good idea." Emperor Qi Heng laughed after hearing this, "Girl Jiang is indeed the cousin of Concubine Ye, she is as ghostly as she is, this idea is really good."

"Isn't this breaking the law?" Jiang Yuan looked at Emperor Qi Heng and asked.

"What law is broken? The emperor is here." Shadow looked at Emperor Qiheng, "As long as the emperor agrees, this is an imperial decree."

"Of course I agree. Is there any reason to disagree with the matter of saving the people from water and fire?" Emperor Qi Heng stroked his beard and nodded.

Aqin also smiled happily, "In this way, all the food will be distributed to the people who are short of food, saving them from fire and water."

"Then let's do it like this." Shadow said and got up, "I'll go to the county government office right now, you wait for my good news." After speaking, he left impatiently.

The next day, Shadow came back with a big burden on his back.

When I opened the package, I found that there were piles of announcements with the seal of the government office.

The content of the announcement is to let people who are short of food go to Yongshui Town to get food. Of course, those who are not short of food are not allowed to come to get food. Otherwise, once reported to the Yamen, all family property will be confiscated. This is also to prevent some people who are greedy for money from looting .

"Very good, hire more people to post these announcements everywhere." After reading it, Emperor Qi Heng ordered the shadow with satisfaction.

"Yes, my subordinate obeys." Shadow left the inn with the big package of announcements on his back, and went to find someone to post them.

In the evening of that day, all the villages and towns around Yongshui Town saw the announcement. Although everyone couldn't believe it, they were desperate without rice or food, so they naturally wanted to see if it was true or not.

Ten miles outside Yongshui Town, the food convoy is stationed here.

There was a heavy snowfall last night, and thick snow fell on the roof of the carriage. He was worried that the carriage would be crushed. General Lin Shen was organizing everyone to clean up the snow on the grain cart.

General Lin Shen was wearing a leather jacket and a sheepskin hat, and looked at him with a white breath, his face full of sadness.

A subordinate came over with a bowl of steaming white porridge.

"Sir General, it's time for breakfast." He brought the porridge in front of General Lin.

Lin Shenjiang took the porridge, held the bowl to warm his hands, and sighed as he looked at the whiteness everywhere with a bitter face.

"When will this snowstorm end? Alas."

"Who cares when it's a head? Just win this battle." The subordinate answered, paused, and looked towards the direction of Luozhou, "The avenue is blocked and we can't move forward, why don't we send some people to clear it?"

"No." General Lin shook his head, "What is the most precious thing in such a disaster year? Food, did you see how many people died of freezing and starvation along the way? If you encounter robbers, it will be troublesome."
Subordinate: "This is the military ration of the imperial court, who has the guts?"

Lin Shenjiang scooped up a mouthful of porridge and drank it, his face darkening.

"There are many things that no one can expect, it's better to be careful."
"We will naturally send people to do the road dredging. We just need to take care of the food and grass. This is our duty."

"Sir General Shen is right." The subordinate felt that it was reasonable, so he stood aside with a tray, quietly waiting for General Lin to finish eating and pick up the bowl.

At this time, there was no one in the distance who was burning pig's trotters, and the smell of the pork and pigskin burning in the fire was brought over by the wind, making Lin Shenjiang gulp down his mouth.
Looking at the bowl of white porridge, he frowned again and again, losing his appetite even more.

This time, the batch of grain and grass they transported was only grain and grass, and there was no jerky at all.

Marching on this road for so many days, every day there is little water in the soup, there is no oil in the stomach, and the intestines are so astringent that they are about to be knotted. These days are really bitter!
Of course, they were the only ones who were suffering. The front troops went all the way south and robbed them all the way. As long as there was something they wanted to eat, they would send a few small teams to search around.

"This porridge is so nutritious." Smelling the smell of meat, General Lin Shen couldn't drink the porridge anymore. He stuffed the bowl into his subordinate's hand, "Come on, follow me to the town. Let’s make some delicious tooth-taping festival.”

The subordinate was almost overjoyed when he heard that, he hurriedly picked up the bowl, and followed behind General Lin.

"Everyone has to stand on guard, and don't let anyone approach the food team, do you hear me?" Lin Shen said to the soldiers standing guard in the wind and snow with his hands pinched on his waist.

"Yes, Lord General." All the soldiers straightened their backs, and no one dared to show any slack.

This batch of grain and grass is related to the life of General Zhu. If they dare to be careless in the slightest, they will definitely be skinned by General Zhu.

There is such a story in the army that a recruit was greedy for life and fear of death on the battlefield, so he was skinned and boned in public by General Zhu, and his head was hung on the flagpole in the center of the camp for a month, until he turned into a white beast skull.

So what everyone is afraid of is not General Lin, but Zhu Xiangyu's group of brutal "robber generals".

This is also the reason why General Lin Shen was stationed in Yongshui Town for two days, but he dared not go into the town to eat meat.

He is also afraid, if something goes wrong with such an important matter as transporting food and grass, General Zhu may not only skin him, but even his family members will be skinned and boned.

If he hadn't been seduced by the delicious smell of meat today, he wouldn't have dared to leave without a hundred courage.

After arriving in the town, Lin Shenjiang led his subordinates straight to the restaurant, ordered a large table of big fish and meat in the restaurant, and enjoyed it deliciously.

"This dish is still refreshing to eat hot." After Lin Shenjiang finished eating, he picked his teeth contentedly.

"Yes, yes, it's true that it's better to come to the restaurant to eat. If someone carries it back, it will be frozen into ice."

"Go, let's go back." Lin Canjiang picked up the cloak on the stool beside him and got up.

"Master General, please wait a moment." The subordinate giggled, then asked Xiaoer for two bowls, and packed up the rest of the dishes.

"Haven't you had enough?" Lin Shenjiang rubbed the corner of his mouth while touching his swollen belly.

"I'm full now, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?" The subordinate put two bowls full of vegetables into the bag and said, "It's better to eat these than to drink porridge. My lord will know when I get back. "

"Heh~~ You are careful."

The two of them left the restaurant while talking, and came to the street.

It was a windy and snowy day, and there were not a few people there when we came, but the room was suddenly full of people in groups of three or four, and those who were whispering to each other didn't know what to talk about.

However, Lin Shenjiang didn't take it to heart, the country people made a fuss when things happened, even if a cow gave birth to a calf, they would probably talk about it for a long time.

Then he took his subordinates and went straight to the outside of the town.

The more you go out of the town, the more confused Lin Shenjiang is. Why are so many people braved the wind and snow to leave the town? Where are they going?
Strangely enough, a few ragged beggars huddled and passed by, and one of the beggars said, "Quick, go to Zhennan, the government has distributed food there, as long as you don't have food, you can go there to get it."

When General Lin Shen heard this, his head buzzed. Isn’t their grain cart stationed in the south of the town? It’s not their military grain that the government wants to distribute, right? (End of this chapter)
