Turbulent Times Chapter 334: I am not a fairy

(Thank you very much for the generosity and support of 'csn69' and 'foy'.)

Wang Tong asked Wang Junlin to re-divide the guests and hosts to sit down in the living room, let people serve tea again, and waved away the irrelevant people. What is it like to fall to the ground?"

Wang Tong said with a wry smile: "What is the situation, I must have seen it on the way that Marquis Qin An came. Since winter last year, the three counties in the north of Yongzhou have been continuously snowed, and the snow is so full that people and animals cannot walk until the spring planting season. , Hundreds of thousands of acres of land in the three counties still had snow cover, the land was frozen dry and hard, completely dead, and it was impossible to sow seeds. Seeing that the spring sowing season had passed and the weather did not improve, the people finally despaired, so Since half a month ago, the people have fled their homes with their families, and in some places even entire villages and villages have left their homes together. This official ordered the county officials to stand on the road every day, begging the people not to Leaving, but with little effect, most of the people still fled to Jincheng, the state capital..."

Speaking of this, guilt and heartache appeared on Wang Tong's face, tears soon filled his eyes, and he cried: "The year last year was not so good, and the people's families didn't have much surplus food. The whole family went to Jincheng, how many days would it take to store food and energy? Even if they gnawed on the bark and grass roots all the way to Jincheng, would they have a way of life when they came to Jincheng? We have just fought for half a year, how could Jincheng still have surplus? Food!"

Seeing Wang Tong's tears falling one by one, Wang Junlin felt very heavy.

He believes that Wang Tong is a good official, and he also believes that Wang Tong has made the greatest efforts, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. In times of natural disasters, food is the most important thing. In vain.

"Master Inspector, I don't know how many people are left in the three counties, how much food and grass are left in the official storehouses, how many casualties are in the people, whether the rule is peaceful, whether there are riots, and so on. Please tell the Inspector in detail." Wang Junlin said slowly.

Wang Tong sniffed his nose, wiped away his tears, took a deep breath to calm down his emotions, and then choked up and said: "Yesterday, the county magistrates under his jurisdiction sent people to deliver the news, and now the Guo people in Siye Village of the three counties have left one after another. Fleeing from the countryside, only about three out of ten people really stayed there. Among them, about half of them gathered outside the counties and county towns. A small number of people went into the mountains to collect wild mushrooms or hunt, and some did not know The whereabouts are unknown, and at least one-third of the rest of the people have arrived in Jincheng or are rushing to Jincheng.”

"Alas! As for the grain in the official warehouse, as I said just now, last year was not a good year. The grain in the official warehouse was almost exhausted in the war last year, and the remaining old rice and millet were about 1,500 shi. Relief for the people, this amount of food is at most enough for the victims outside the city to eat for ten days..."

Speaking of this, Wang Tong sighed, looked at Wang Junlin and said sincerely: "The old man knows the predicament Qin Anhou is facing now, in fact, as long as Qin Anhou can find a way to gather enough money within ten days Food, let the victims have food to eat, the old man can guarantee that the victims will not cause chaos, and as long as the victims do not cause chaos, no matter what methods are used by those who secretly want to kill Qin Anhou, with His Majesty's trust in Qin Anhou, they can It can withstand the impeachment of the court officials."

Wang Junlin glanced at him with a gloomy face, and quietly said: "The problem is that the imperial court can't mobilize the food needed by the hundreds of thousands of disaster victims in a short time, even if the lower officials have all-powerful skills, they can't get it!"

Wang Tong looked up to the sky and sighed, the last glimmer of hope was shattered. He originally thought that Wang Junlin would have a solution, but now it seems that he was thinking too much.

Wang Junlin frowned and said: "Could it be that the relief food from the imperial court cannot be delivered to Jincheng within ten days?"

Wang Tong sighed sadly: "This is how it is every year. As you know, half of the time from last year to this year was spent in war. Not to mention that the warehouse is empty enough to run away mice, but there will never be too many, and..."

Speaking of this, Wang Tong glared at Wang Junlin before continuing: "If some people don't take this opportunity to kill you, maybe the food can be delivered within ten days. At the point of death, the food and grass may not be delivered in thirty days, let alone ten days..."

Wang Junlin was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Wang Tong meant, his face was so gloomy that dripping water dripped down his face, he gritted his teeth and said, "In order to kill me, they dared to gamble with the lives of tens of thousands of people."

Wang Tong didn't know what he thought of, and said with an inexplicable expression: "For the benefit of the family, sometimes the family can do anything."

Wang Junlin grinned grimly, and said coldly, "If that's the case, then don't blame me for killing people."

Wang Tong was taken aback by Wang Junlin's murderous intent. He froze for a moment, and then his face turned pale. He squinted his eyes and said, "Oh, the people in the three counties of Yongzhou provoked whoever they provoked. They didn't die because of natural disasters, but they died because of some villains' personal enmity! On the first day that the people starved to death, my official Jumping off the top of the city, using this remnant body to apologize to the folks and elders is..."

Wang Junlin pursed his lips and remained silent, faintly feeling that although tens of thousands of people were being used by his secret enemies, they were also implicated by him. The surname starved to death and ignored it.

In the past few days, what Wang Junlin thinks most is how to deal with the enemy's conspiracy, to prevent the other party from taking revenge on his reputation, and how to deal with the other party's use of Chen Danying as a bait to lure him to appear.

In short, it is to prevent the other party from forcing you to a dead end. But now Wang Junlin suddenly realized that the most important task now is to fill the stomachs of the people, and this is the root of all problems and hidden dangers. If the stomachs of the people are under control, whoever has the ability to incite everyone to persecute himself will have the ability Let rumors spread wildly?

So, the big question now is... how to raise food? With food, Wang Junlin could take the opportunity to clarify the rumors.

The imperial household department and the national treasury can't count on it. It's not that the imperial court doesn't care about the lives of the people, but that Wang Junlin's enemies will definitely use various means to delay the arrival of disaster relief food. So now we can only rely on self-financing and self-help.

Thinking of this, Wang Junlin couldn't help but sigh heavily. The people in the three counties in the north of Yongzhou have been reduced to eating tree bark and grass roots. Seeing that there is no food on their bodies, when he came, he had already seen some people starving to death , Now let him think of a way, how can he save himself? How to save? He has created many miracles in this year, but even a **** can't conjure food.
