Chapter 420: The Hungry

Qiu Ming was about to put on an official show to scare her, but he immediately relented, helped the old woman up, and said, "Old man, why did you steal other people's dates?" ”

When the old woman saw Qiuming's official robe, she shuddered for a moment, and after a long time, she flattened her mouth and said, "I'm hungry." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Tyumen got angry again: "Are you hungry? Don't you have no hands or feet? You're a lot older, aren't you ashamed? ”

The old woman seemed to cry: "My grandson is so hungry. Only then did Tyumen remember that she still had grandchildren with her, so she asked her to lead the way and find the ruined temple.

Although he had a certain amount of mental preparation, he was still shocked when he saw this ruined temple. This can be considered a temple, it is simply a haunted house. The temple door was crookedly missing half of the door, the temple wall collapsed softly, there were only a few straws left on the top of the temple, and two statues of gods were lost in the temple.

The eldest of these children was about thirteen or fourteen years old, but the younger ones had just learned to walk, and they all had shaggy hair and ragged clothes, and some even wrapped pine branches directly around their bodies to keep out the cold, and they could not tell whether they were male or female. Qiu Ming couldn't help but feel compassion, and reached out to touch the head of one of the youngest children, but the child staggered to the old woman's side, and shouted with his dancing hands: "Grandma, grandma, I'm hungry." ”

The old woman handed him a crumpled date, and the child excitedly took it and put it in his mouth, but immediately spit it out: "It's not delicious, it's bitter." Zhang Yulan hurriedly took out a preserved fruit and handed it to him, the child hesitated and put it in his mouth, and suddenly smiled, the black ash on his face fell, showing a faint background. He took out the preserved fruit and ran to a tall homeless child with a smile: "Sister, sister, give it to you, it's so sweet." ”

Is this a woman? Qiu Ming looked at this tall man in surprise, only to see that she was as skinny as wood, her hair was messy like a chicken nest, and her face was as black as ink, and she couldn't see her true face at all, nor could she see a little moving curve. The tall girl took the preserved fruit, ignoring the black marks on the child's hand that remained on it, and took a small bite hard, and suddenly her whole eyes lit up.

This girl was originally sloppy like a beggar on the street, but her eyes suddenly lit up, as bright as the stars in the sky, adding a bit of aura and brilliance to her whole person. After a while, she took out the preserved fruit from her mouth, which had been bitten by a small horn, and reluctantly handed it to another companion, and another pair of stars were lit.

By the time all the children in the broken temple had passed it through, most of the small preserved fruit was still passed back to the youngest child. He staggered back to the old woman's side, holding the preserved fruit high and said, "Grandma, grandma, eat." ”

Before the old woman could take it, Zhang Yulan had already cried all of a sudden, and she took out a lot of preserved fruits from the small bag: "Eat, these are for you." Diao Chan may be about to become a mother, and suddenly the maternal brilliance shines, and while distributing the preserved fruit, she says: "Don't worry, don't rob, there are many, everyone has it, but don't choke." ”

Tyumen patiently waited for the old woman to finish eating the preserved fruit before asking, "Old man, are these your grandchildren?" ”

The old woman licked her lips, looking unsatisfied, and said after a long time: "A few of them are grandchildren, and the others are now my grandchildren." ”

After a period of conversation, Qiu Ming learned that these people were all from a small mountain village called Bai Yu Huozi, and the people in the village were either surnamed Bai or Yu, for example, this old woman could be called Granny Yu. This small mountain village is remote and quiet, but finally unable to escape the devastation of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the village is ruined, and Granny Yu has to flee with the surviving dozen or so children.

She was just a peasant woman with little knowledge, and these children were ordinary peasant children, and if they left their land, they were completely at a loss and unable to do anything. When the little money they had with them was spent, they had to beg and wander around the streets. But these days, everyone has no money to spare, how can there be extra alms for them, so there are well-wishers who point out the way, Dengzhou is now rich, why don't you go there to ask for food?

They entered Dengzhou with hope, but because a child had diarrhea, they had to be accommodated in this dilapidated temple first. At first, the nearby villagers looked at them pitiful and gave them some food, but after a long time, they became annoyed and stopped paying attention to them. At this time, they were so poor that they had no dry food to go on the road, and they were too hungry to walk far, so they had to settle down next to this village, and live strong by stealing the food in the village, and it was common for them to be scolded and beaten.

Tyumen stood in front of the ruined idol and pondered, and the others did not dare to interrupt his thoughts casually. Cai Wenji ordered some hot soup to be boiled and served to these children bowl by bowl. Diao Chan wrinkled her nose and said, "Sister is usually not so stingy, they have been hungry for so long, how can they just drink some soup?" ”

Cai Wenji scratched her little nose: "It's because they've been hungry for too long that they can't feed them at once, otherwise it's easy to die on the spot." Drink some hot soup to regulate the stomach first, and then gradually let them eat after a while, it's not too late. ”

Diao Chan nodded as if he didn't understand, but Qiu Ming suddenly brightened up. What he was thinking about just now was such disaster victims, starving people, and I am afraid that there are countless people living in various places, and if they are ignored, they will eventually become starving, and if they can be effectively resettled and managed, they will immediately become the population of the territory. Anyone who has played the Three Kingdoms game, who doesn't know the importance of population?

If possible, Tyumen really wanted to accept all these victims and hungry people, register them and immediately become the population of Dengzhou. However, he has been in the position of this county leader for more than a year, and he knows that there is still a big difference between reality and game data.

With the existing rice grain in Dengzhou, it is a small meaning to feed a hungry person of a few thousand people, even if it is 10,000 or 20,000. However, according to Granny Yu, not to mention other places, there are 50,000 or 60,000 hungry people in the Nanyang area of Runan, and Dengzhou will definitely not tolerate such a large number, and it will even provoke a civil uprising.

However, Cai Wenji's words made Qiu Ming suddenly open, since these hungry people have been hungry for so long, then start to give some gruel and clear soup, and wait for them to recuperate before they are full, at that time, Qiu Ming estimated that he had already gone to the southern Jiaozhou area to buy back food, and solved his urgent need.

Now that he has thought of a countermeasure, Qiu Ming is not panicked, and called Chen Zhen to give such and such an order, and Chen Gong next to him suddenly asked: "I don't know how the county is going to place these children?" ”
