Jin Yun and Baihua have been standing in the city for a long time, and after Baihua arrived in Yangzhou yesterday, he originally wanted to find Jin Yun, the prefect of Yangzhou. But she happened to meet Shi Yuan and his party, and later followed Shen Wei to Naxianting Mountain, so it wasn't until this morning that she went to Jin Yun to learn about the current situation of refugees in Yangzhou.

Baihua was still wearing a simple men's dress, and Jin Yun behind him seemed to be a little afraid of Baihua, and he kept hanging his head. This couldn't help but let not far away, several soldiers who followed Jin Yun were discussing, all guessing the identity of Baihua.

"Flower ...... Childe, if the refugees in Yangzhou don't think of a way and continue in this situation, I'm afraid that this Yangzhou will be destroyed in the hands of these refugees! Seeing that Baihua didn't speak for a long time, Jin Yun whispered first.

was looking at the hundred flowers under the city and listened, this seemed to come back to his senses, sighed softly, and said to himself: "This is the case in the south of the Yangtze River, and the same is true in the land of Shuzhong in the southwest!" These refugees, there is no way to ...... now"

"Yes...... However, the other counties in the south of the Yangtze River drove the refugees to Yangzhou, but there was not much surplus grain left in Yangzhou's granary, and there was no support from the counties...... This...... What a good thing this is for me! Jin Yun's face was full of helplessness and unwillingness.

"Lord Kim! You don't have to complain to me! In addition to Jinling, there are also many refugees in other places in the south of the Yangtze River! Besides, don't think I don't know how much grain is in that granary! When Baihua heard Jin Yun's words, her tone suddenly became cold, and she said something unhappily.

When Jin Yun heard Baihua's words, his whole body couldn't help but tremble, so he quickly bowed down and replied to Baihua: "The villain knows the mistake, the villain knows the mistake!" I'll find a way to use the food for this relief! ”

"Disaster relief? Although there were several floods in the summer and autumn of last year, it did not come to this point! This refugee ......" Baihua said this, then suddenly stopped again, sighed deeply, and then turned to say: "That's it! Your Jin family has not had a lot of benefits over the years, but don't forget, who is supporting you behind this! ”

Jin Yun still dares to speak? has been arching his body, and he is admitting his mistakes to Baihua.

Seeing this, Baihua didn't say anything more, but turned his head to look at the refugees under the city again...... It wasn't until a long time that she asked again, "Have you sent someone to investigate any of these refugees?" Are there any people from the Blue Lotus Sect? ”

"This ...... I haven't found it yet! Jin Yun replied respectfully.

But Baihua shook his head and said, "Is there any, I think you should know better than me, right?" This Yangzhou City is very important, and there is no room for the slightest mistake, if there is a real change in Jinling this time, you should also know what the consequences will be, right? ”

"It's not that Lord Dong ...... him"

"The 5,000 men and horses led by Dong Qingyun are just refugees recruited by himself, and they don't even have food and grass supplies...... He must have given up! ”

"This ...... Then why did Master Dong stay in Jinling? ”

Baihua was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head: "Dong Qingyun, we don't have to care about him, what's the difference between him in Jinling and returning to the capital?" Your Jin family has also reaped a lot of benefits from you over the years, but you don't have to forget, since I can make your Jin family prosperous, I can also let your Jin family be destroyed! ”

Jin Yun heard it, but nodded and responded in fear, and didn't dare to speak anymore......

"These refugees, you must send someone to investigate, if there is anything wrong, I will ask you!"

Baihua said sharply, snorted coldly, and then turned to look at the city again, and said that it was not a coincidence that the carriage and horses of Shi Yuan and his party also happened to come out of the city gate at this time. When Baihua saw the carriage of the Lin family, her heart couldn't help jumping, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in her eyes......

Every time Lin Yingyue came to Yangzhou, she would have set up a stove outside the city to serve food. But now it is not as good as before, the Lin family has no one in Yangzhou, and it is not easy to do this.

So, when she was about to leave the Xing'an Temple, she gave her grandfather, Master Kuai, some more silver, and begged him to give food to the refugees outside the city on her behalf, and she returned to Jinling with Shi Yuan and his party......

Baihua watched quietly on the city wall, until the two carriages and a horse disappeared completely, then she turned to Jin Yun and said, "I will stay in Yangzhou for the time being, and let her protect your safety." As long as you Jin Yun don't have other thoughts, when Nanqing is pacified, I can protect you as the governor of the three provinces! ”

After speaking, she walked towards the city wall, but she didn't even look at Jin Yun, the prefect of Yangzhou who was kneeling on the ground behind her, and not far away, there was a carriage. She...... I want to leave too.

After coming to Yangzhou this time, I saw the increasing number of refugees. Baihua is also very complicated, she can't bear to suppress these refugees, but at the same time, she is worried that these refugees will have some trouble, which makes her very embarrassed, she must find a solution.

For some reason, Shi Yuan's heart suddenly flashed to Shi Yuan......

Although the rain has stopped, and the official road is much easier, compared to yesterday, when I went back, it was much slower. Because the rain has stopped, there are obviously more cars and horses on the official road today than yesterday.

Merchants exist at all times, and even in the current situation of Nanqing, businessmen from all walks of life are still surviving in the cracks. Even though their status is humble and even spurned, they still firmly believe that "money can make ghosts grind".

But in the end, there are very few merchants who can withstand the baptism of history and can be handed down like the Lin family and the Guo family. Just like the refugees in Yangzhou, there are also many merchants, and the number continues to increase...... They are generally small businessmen, because they can't stand the heavy taxes and silver of the government, so they have fallen to this point.

At this time, Shi Yuan and his party had already left Yangzhou City for a distance of three or four miles, and they almost just walked to the foot of the Xianting Mountain. But according to Lin Yingyue's description yesterday, Brother Shi never saw the "pavilion". sighed in the car that it was almost lonely, so he opened the curtain and sat next to Lao Yang.

"Shi Gongzi can't stand the bumps? Do you want to sit on the back horse? Lao Yang saw Shi Yuan get out of the car, so he subconsciously thought that Shi Yuan was sitting in the car and shaking a little, so he couldn't stand it, so he asked.

But Shi Yuan heard it, remembered the well-behaved, but didn't listen to his own horse, but shook his head, and then looked up at the somewhat gloomy weather, and then said: "Looking at the weather, it should be raining, I'll still sit in the car!" ”

After answering Lao Yang, he paused in his tone, and then asked, "Lao Yang, where is that Xianting Mountain?" Yue'er said that it was in the north of the city, why didn't I see it all the way? ”

When Lao Yang heard this, he pointed to the not too high mountain peak on the side of the official road in front of him, and replied: "Shi Gongzi, isn't this Xianting Mountain!" ”
