Chapter 911

Gu Xiaowan thought all the way and finally arrived in Rui county. As soon as she entered the gate, her carriage was stopped.

Seeing that the carriage was not leaving, Gu Xiaowan picked up the curtain and looked outside. He saw 20 or 30 refugees, male and female, old, weak and disabled, surrounded Jianzhu and his carriage.

Jane Zhu was forced by these refugees to turn around in the carriage, but was afraid that her horse would hurt the refugees, so she had to rein in her horse.

AMO also stopped.

Gu Xiaowan lifted the curtain and came out.

As soon as the people in the carriage came out, the refugees immediately knelt down: "Miss, have a pity on us. We haven't had a bite of food for three days. Please give us some food..."

His voice was weak and his face was sallow.

Gu Xiaowan looked at the pair of hungry eyes, looking forward to looking at himself, and then looked at the children, hungry left skin and bones, black ground on the surface only to see two huge eyes staring at himself.

This is the victims!

Along the way, we saw all the victims like this.

Gu Xiaowan is deeply distressed, but now she knows that if she is merciful, she may not be able to get out of the gate today.

Not far away, there is a steady stream of victims pouring in. If you don't get away at the moment, you will really be unable to leave later.

Gu Xiaowan is in a hurry and throws all the copper bags he has just prepared at home to Jane Zhu.

"Sprinkle!" Gu Xiaowan has just finished this sentence.

Seeing that Jianzhu didn't want to think about it, she opened the bag, grabbed a handful of copper plates and sprinkled them on both sides.

The copper plate fell from the sky and rolled all over the ground.

When the victims saw that it was copper, they were all excited and immediately scattered around. They lowered their heads and went to pick up the copper plates.

It was late, then fast. Seeing that there was no hindrance from the victims, a Mo raised his horse's whip, and the carriage drove away from the city gate.

Looking back, there are more and more victims there to scramble for copper, but also caused a lot of fighting.

Fortunately, the County Office of Rui county is not far away from the city gate. Moreover, there are fewer and fewer victims when they get to the county government. I'm afraid that they are also afraid of the power of the government and dare not make trouble with the government.

With the lesson just now, everyone didn't dare to act rashly. Ah Mo drove the carriage seriously. As long as there were no people, the carriage drove very fast.

Finally arrived at the county yamen, after getting off the carriage, Gu Xiaowan followed Jane Zhu all the way to Liu Xian's study.

Liu Xian is discussing with others about the refugees in his study. He just wants to drive the refugees away and close the city gate to prevent them from coming in again.

But all the grain in the land outside the city gate will be wasted.

If it goes on like this, Rui county will become a new disaster spot. I'm afraid it will not be long before the people in Rui county will leave their hometown and beg everywhere, just like the refugees.

If there is such a day, it will be a severe blow to Liu Xian.

As a parent official, he was unable to protect the people living and working in peace and contentment within his jurisdiction. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow in the face.

Gu Xiaowan heard that every method that the teacher surnamed Fan said was refuted by Liu Xian.

"The people in Rui county are people, and the victims are also human beings." Liu Xian sighed and said with deep heart: "I am a parent who is raised by my parents. I can't see the suffering of our own people, nor other people's suffering."

Seeing that Mr. Liu didn't agree with his opinions, Mr. Fan himself felt that the opinion was a little too cruel, and he sighed, "my Lord, what should we do next?"

Hearing this, Gu Xiaowan hurriedly walked in: "Lord Liu..."

Liu Xianjian is Gu Xiaowan, and his eyes suddenly brighten.

Although all the victims came from sweet potato seedlings, if Gu Xiaowan hadn't suggested him to promote sweet potato at that time, the stems and leaves of sweet potato saved so many people. Otherwise, Rui county would become an empty city.

The people in Rui county will be the same as those victims.

Gu Xiaowan helped Liu Xian and fan shiye in turn. He had seen him.

He opened the door and said, "Mr. Liu, the matter is urgent. I overheard your conversation with Mr. Fan just now. In my opinion, I don't approve of closing down the county and driving out the victims."

"But I can't think of any other way." Mr. Fan was not annoyed and said respectfully, "Miss Wan, do you have any good suggestions?"

Gu Xiaowan had already seen it when he first came. If the imperial court did not provide disaster relief, Rui county would become an empty city.

All the people also have to go to the place where there is food to beg. If so, it will be out of control at that time.

Now, it's still a drought, the sky is cloudless, it doesn't look like rain at all.It's urgent.

"Mr. Liu, do you know where these victims came from?"

Liu Xian said: "in addition to Rui County, almost all of the southeast of this year's drought has been dry. I don't know what's going on this year. What a mystery

Mr. Liu's tone was full of sighs, but Gu Xiaowan was not surprised. In ancient times, life depended entirely on heaven. There were droughts, floods, insects and locusts. There was nothing wrong all year round. That's really puzzling!

I haven't heard of it. I heard that at the beginning of the year, even the emperor would hold a ceremony to pray for peace and good luck, good weather and good harvest.

Although Gu Xiaowan sighed at such a disaster, he didn't find it strange.

On the way just now, the situation of the victims has already been seen.

"Miss Wan, there are still some food in the farmland of Rui county. If we are dead and have no crops here, the whole Rui county will be in a mess by then." One side of Mr. Fan said anxiously that if Rui county had become a disaster area, it would have been all over.
