Chapter 348 Disaster of Refugees
"So many!" An Xiu'er was also a little surprised: "There are tens of thousands of people gathered in the capital alone, isn't this equivalent to an army?"

"That's it. They set up shacks outside the capital. The sanitation outside the capital is very dirty. Many hawkers can't get in if they want to sell things. Not only that, there are also some refugees blocking the way, robbing the villagers outside the city of food. , This has happened several times outside the city!" Fang Yuan said.

"Didn't the people above think about how to solve it?" An Xiu'er said with some intentions, "If the food is unclean and the place where they live is dirty, then these common people will be easily infected with diseases. , if someone gets sick, with so many people, it is easy to form a plague."

"That's right." Fang Yuan nodded, and said, "But everyone is busy doing these face-saving things, how can anyone really think about the life and death of these refugees?"

"So, Seventh Emperor Uncle, did you come here today to show me your benevolence?" An Xiuer glanced at Fang Yuan and said.

After Fang Yuan heard An Xiuer's words, he was very angry. He said, "Is Fang Yuan such a person in your heart? I won't do such a thing!"

"I'm sorry!" Hearing Fang Yuan's words, An Xiu'er apologized to him, it was true that she treated the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain just now.

When Fang Yuan's mood calmed down a bit, An Xiu'er asked, "Then what are you doing here and telling me these things?"

"I..." Fang Yuan paused, and said, "Just treat it as if I'm just here to talk to you. After all, I don't have any friends in Beijing except you. I tell others these things, and others You may still say that I am pretending, and only you can listen to me say a few words."

"Fang Yuan." An Xiu'er called him all over, looked at him and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that about you just now."

"It doesn't matter." Fang Yuan shook his head, and said, "Actually, I just came here to talk to you, just to vent. Actually, I don't know what to do now. I'm not helpless."

"Let's go and have a look." An Xiu'er said suddenly.

"The outside of the city is very messy and dirty." Fang Yuan said after hearing An Xiu'er's words.

"You came here to tell me this, didn't you just want me to go and have a look?" An Xiu'er smiled, stood up, and said, "You can't refute this."

Fang Yuan did have this intention, so when he saw what An Xiuer said, he didn't refute it, he just said: "If you really want to see it, then let's go."

"Wait for me a moment, I'm going to change clothes." An Xiu'er said.

She went to the inner room. To be honest, she is in the Princess's mansion now, and she doesn't even have a set of poor clothes, but after all, this is the Princess's mansion. As soon as An Xiuer said it, someone immediately found her a pair of clothes. A set of ordinary clothes came out.

An Xiu'er put on this set of clothes, pulled off the hairpin on her head, and washed off the leaden luster on her face, her whole person became much more simple.

"Let's go." After changing her clothes, An Xiu'er came out and yelled at Fang Yuan to go out.

The two walked out of the city together, because it was quite chaotic outside the city, this time An Xiu'er brought another bodyguard besides Qiu Yu, Fang Yuan also knew martial arts, so in order to keep a low profile, he didn't bring another bodyguard.

Before reaching the outside of the city, I heard bursts of noise from a distance. People outside the city lined up to enter the city. The guards secretly showed their identities to the people who went out of the city. The officers and soldiers guarding the city were soon let them pass. up.

Soldiers were stationed outside the city, which was much more fortified than before. Refugees were not allowed to approach the area 50 meters away from the city wall, and 50 meters away was the place where the big families in the city gave out porridge.

An Xiu'er saw from a distance that these porridge sheds were already some shacks. She walked over with Fang Yuan and frowned. At this time, there was an unpleasant smell mixed with the aroma of porridge. It's really disgusting.

The more she looked, the more she kept silent. When she was in Minyue City, there were not so many refugees, nor were there so many severe situations. Most of those refugees came to the city to find jobs, and rich families donated some money and food. , they also dispersed, and there is no such thing as gathering here and not leaving.

What Fang Yuan said was not wrong at all. Although the outside of the city was empty, there were so many people all of a sudden, and these refugees had no place to take a bath or take care of personal hygiene, so they just found a place to deal with it randomly. Walking over slowly, Xiumei frowned even more when seeing this situation.

"It's too dirty here, let's go back." Seeing An Xiu'er frowning beautifully, Qiu Yu said from the side.

Not to mention a noble wife like An Xiuer, a noble princess, even she, seeing this messy situation, couldn't help feeling a little disgusted.

"In fact, human excrement is a kind of good fertilizer in the farm." An Xiuer said: "When I was in the countryside, many villagers picked up excrement with a dustpan before dawn. Most of them were dogs in the village. I ran around and missed it, but here, no one cares, and it is dirty everywhere."

"To be honest, I'm not afraid of your jokes. If an old farmer saw this situation, he might think it was too wasteful." An Xiu'er said.

Qiu Yu lowered her head when she heard the words.

An Xiu'er said, "Did what I said make you feel sick?"

"No." Qiu Yu shook her head.

An Xiu'er said: "I don't know, why did I mention these things, obviously in the past, I never cared about these things."

"You are worried about them." Fang Yuan said.

"For them?" An Xiu'er laughed and said, "I can't even worry about my own affairs, so how can I worry about them!"

"You should worry about them." Fang Yuan looked at An Xiu'er and said, "You are the princess now, not an ordinary person."

"There are too many princesses in this world, one more than me is not too many, and one less than me is quite a lot." An Xiuer's tone was indifferent.

"Then think about him. Why did he use his life to fight against the Japanese slaves, or why did he join the army? Is it just for these intangible rights? I admit that rights belong to men In my mind, it is very important, but there are some things that are more important, and that is the family, the country and the world.”

"There is an old saying: If you are poor, you will be good for yourself; if you are rich, you will benefit the world. Although I am not familiar with him, I know that he must be a gentleman and a good general for the country and the people!" Fang Yuan looked at An Xiuer, Seriously said: "I know that you are intelligent, and you have the ability to settle these refugees well."

"Me?" An Xiu'er glanced at herself and said, "My Seventh Emperor Uncle, you think too highly of me. I'm just an ordinary person. You know how I got here as the Princess. She was just a country girl before."

"Don't always talk about the country girl, because you are a country girl, so you are more experienced, right?" Fang Yuan glanced at An Xiu'er, and said, "I won't force you, just treat it as me. Just act like I need you, okay?"

"Everyone in this world doesn't care about these problems. These common people are also stupid. In the long run, this place will lead to great disaster!" Fang Yuan looked at An Xiu'er, grabbed her hand suddenly, and led her to the door. In front of the porridge sheds, said: "Look at the porridge in this pot, what kind of porridge are these? If you eat this kind of porridge, won't people get sick?"

"Drink! It's easy for you to say it. It's good to have this kind of porridge. No one has any food left. It's a kind of kindness to be able to take out such food in this cold weather. Unlike you , can only move one mouth!"

The person who served the porridge in front of the porridge shed scolded Fang Yuan, and the person holding the porridge bowl also took a look at Fang Yuan and snorted coldly.

Fang Yuan didn't care about their attitudes either. What they said was indeed right. Who would give food from their own family to others? The reason they were willing to give money before was because of charity and because they wanted to show off, but none of them could possibly Support these refugees for a lifetime.

"You can see, these porridge sheds are slowly decreasing, and they will be withdrawn soon." Fang Yuan looked at An Xiu'er and said, "When their old grain is used up, they will definitely have to withdraw. .”

"If you tell me this, do you have any food for yourself?" An Xiuer looked at Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan shook his head, and said, "I just came to the capital, and my own family has no food left. I'm sorry, but I'm one of the people who evacuated the porridge sheds you mentioned. Slowly, all the porridge sheds here will have to be evacuated. , what will these people do then?"

"No one can predict what they will do when they run out of food. Maybe they will besiege the capital. Now they have food, so they just hang out here. They can stay for a day." Fang Yuan said.

An Xiu'er suddenly turned to look at Fang Yuan, and said, "Yes, if you can stay for a day, what else can you say?"You removed the porridge shed a long time ago, how can you make me believe what you said? "

"You came here to take advantage of my sympathy, but what about yourself?" An Xiuer stared at Fang Yuan, and said, "Actually, the solution to these problems is very simple. You take out 10 taels of silver, and each person will be given two taels of silver." , these common people will be settled in minutes.”

"If silver can solve the problem, that's fine." Fang Yuan said.

"Money can't solve the problem, so what can solve the problem?" An Xiuer looked at Fang Yuan and said, "Believe me, two liang of silver is really a lot of money in the countryside. With this money, they can Buy seeds, buy food, and start a new life."

"However, these profiteers took advantage of this time to drive up prices. The price of rice has risen to [-] Wen a catty, and two taels of silver. You can only buy [-] catties of rice. How can you eat enough?" Fang Yuan said. .
