Prosperous pastoral genius little wine girl

Chapter 1566 The situation is grim (3)
Liu Da then began to elaborate on what happened in Hongcheng.

At first, when Ling Yi just returned to Beijing, the situation in Hongcheng was indeed much more stable than when the disaster first started. Although they still couldn’t get enough to eat, they wouldn’t starve to death, and the people gradually had hope in their hearts. The plague was rampant, but because it was controlled in the most serious area in time, a small number of people who escaped in the early stage made the plague spread a little bit, but it didn't get out of control. Died from the plague, and nothing happened when the body was found and burned. Everything seemed to be developing in a good direction.

But just when everyone thought that as long as the plague was eliminated, the disaster would be over in a short time, but there was another heavy rainstorm for three days and three nights!It is true that the rainy season in the south is longer than that in the north. This year, there is a lot of rain, which is why there have been floods. But now the rainy season should have passed. According to previous years, not to mention heavy rain, even light rain should be rare. Yes, this rainstorm is really bad news!It smashed the hearts of the common people and local officials who finally had some hope!
Before the rain had stopped, the trouble had already begun.

At first, the place where the food was originally stored could not withstand the heavy rain, and the rain leaked a lot of food. After the government found out, it immediately started to rescue it, but it still inevitably lost part of it.Not only that, but I also don’t know how the people got the news. They were panicked because of the heavy rain, and then they heard that the food was about to run out?Still not scared out of your wits?
After the panic, there was a riot. Even if someone from the government came to appease them, they couldn't calm down the deep anxiety in their hearts. More and more people rioted. They felt that the people in the government were lying to them, so they rushed to the government to smash the door excitedly. The reason why Tang Yunjin and others were not assigned to the government office was because it was smashed beyond recognition during the riots. The gate of the government office was smashed, and the things inside were smashed to pieces. rest.

There were too many people rioting, and it was not easy for the government to use too much force. As a result, these common people found a place to store food and scrambled like crazy. Fewer things, and more crazy people have the idea of ​​"you don't want to eat if you don't give me food", and somehow sneaked in in the middle of the night and set a fire, directly burning the food that was already a lot of loss Half, it can be said to be worse!
In addition to burning half of the food, even some medicinal materials stored on the other side that were originally intended to be sent to the worst-hit area and isolated from the plague-infected people were all burned!Now the people in the government are angered, and they don't care about the fact that they can't use force against the people, so they directly use weapons to violently suppress them. Those who continue to incite the crowd during the riots should be arrested and tortured. The rapid speed shocked the people and prevented them from launching a bigger riot, because after such a riot, the situation in Hongcheng was already very serious. If everyone starved to death together, the number of people who would not die would increase several times or even ten times!The most serious thing is that the whole city will have to migrate together. At that time, there will be no enough food supplies on the road and no one will be able to reach the place where they can start a new life alive.

Fortunately, the people finally vented once, the rain stopped, and after the government suppressed, they gradually regained their senses. After knowing that the riots consumed most of Hongcheng's food reserves for nothing, the food they most urgently needed was taken away. They have done it themselves, and almost all of them are in despair.
