After Murong Yan finished speaking, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
Seeing Su Wen who was blushing like an innocent boy, Murong Yan calmed down.
He must be thinking too much.
She thought to herself.
However, his hand has already touched Su Wen's purse.
Su Wen clutched the purse tightly, feeling Murong Yan's cool little hands.
"Sister Yan..."
"Brother Strong..."
Murong Yan tried hard to pull the purse over, but found that Su Wen just wouldn't let go.
"Save some more for me! When I go to Lizhou, my little brother will have to ask for money!" Su Wen Xiaozhi reasoned.
"Brother Qiang, we will be brothers and sisters from now on. When we arrive in Lizhou, we will come to see me if we have anything to do, and we will go to my sister's house for food and lodging. If you want to pay for anything, you are young and easy to be deceived." Murong Yan was moved with affection.
A purse, four hands, hovering left and right, pulling up and down.
You touch me, I touch you.
Finally... the money bag fell into Murong Yan's hands.
She put away the purse with a smile on her face.
Su Wen joined the team.
But he soon discovered that this team was very strange.
Although Murong Yan is the leader, there is another force in the team.
And what they escorted was food.
"Sister Yan, transporting food to Lizhou at this time will make a lot of money!" Su Wen asked curiously during the meal.
Murong Yan laughed, stroked her hair lightly, and said, "What kind of money do you make? We use it ourselves."
Su Wen raised his eyebrows, what does this mean? Does the caravan carry its own food
But when Su Wen continued to inquire about Murong Yan's background, it was difficult to come up with something.
Murong Yan just smiled and said: "You will know when you tell Lizhou."
Su Wen wasn't surprised either, and he didn't tell the truth, and it's normal for others to be a little defensive.
The caravan headed for Lizhou, and the journey was not short, and Su Wen gradually became acquainted with the people in the caravan.
The leader of the other team is called Ma Wu, and everyone calls him Fifth Brother.
In the whole team, only he and Murong Yan are star warriors, and the rest are below star rank.
Most of them are around the fifth and sixth grades, and their cultivation bases are not high.
The strength of the team is not too strong.
Even if Su Wen hides his cultivation, he can still be called a master in the team.
However, the more he went to Lizhou, Su Wen found that the number of refugees gradually increased.
He also gradually understood that this team is actually not weak. Compared with the refugees and bandits, two star masters and a group of warriors are actually not bad.
It's just that Su Wen has been in the capital all year round, and he has been in contact with all the high-level officials of Dazhou, and even the guards around him are all high-ranking people, so he feels that high-ranking people are everywhere, and he feels that this team is weak.
As the convoy moved, refugees kept coming to beg for food. Most of these refugees were old and weak, women and children. .
"All right, give me a stutter."
"My lady, please give me something to eat, please, just give my child a bite to eat."
"Grandpa, give me something to eat."
Such voices abound.
In front of his eyes were all people with haggard faces and thin figures.
The child curled up in its mother's arms.
Because his skinny eyes were particularly large, he looked expectantly at the people in the line.
"Uncle... Can I have something to eat..."
Unfortunately, he was doomed to be disappointed.
"Get lost! If you continue to talk too much, I will chop you with a knife!"
"If you don't want to die, get the fuck out!"
"piss off!"
The team was filled with such scolding voices.
The refugees were driven away.
Even Murong Yan drove them away with a stern face.
After being driven away, Murong Yan seemed to feel that this kind of behavior had some impact on her image. Murong Yan said to Su Wen: "We can't control these people. If you soften your heart and speak softly, they will stick to you like a dog's skin plaster." , when that time comes, we will be even more inseparable."
Su Wen couldn't help but asked, "Are these people disaster victims in Lizhou? I heard that the Holy Majesty has sent Wu Kunhu into Lizhou to quell the chaos."
Murong Yan smiled and said: "It is true that General Wu entered Lizhou to quell the chaos, but this General Wu fought against the rebels, but he didn't care about disaster relief. Now the people in Lizhou don't even have the seeds for spring plowing, that is to say , These need the imperial court to raise them from spring to autumn harvest, and distribute the seeds, do you think the imperial court will take care of their lives?"
Su Wen fell into silence.
Indeed, now that the disaster situation in Lizhou has reached this point, at least the imperial court has to support these people for half a year!
How much food does this need
If they can't survive, they have to run, they have to flee, they have to make trouble!
But they fled, fled, and rebelled. Who will cultivate the land in Lizhou
Moreover, these people have no food, even if they last until the autumn harvest, they still have no food, which is a vicious circle.
There is only one final result!
die!
The team marched again, and Su Wen was a little depressed.
He couldn't forget the skinny faces and eyes eager for food.
Although he had seen this kind of scene in film and television works in his previous life, Su Wen still felt the shock in his heart when he saw the dying lives one by one with his own eyes.
Slowly reached the state of Lizhou.
Jiashan County, the first city after entering Lizhou.
It is also the only way out of Lizhou to the west.
At this moment, the gate of the city was wide open, and the guards were leaning against the wall one by one, under the warm sunlight, it was very pleasant.
They cannot go hungry.
Seeing the caravan approaching, one of the youngest guards stood up, staggered to the gate of the city, and stopped Su Wen and his party.
"Check! Is it the goods? The county magistrate has ordered, the disaster is urgent, and the goods are taxed for ten!" The tone is arrogant, and the tax rate is much higher than usual.
Murong Yan didn't move, Ma Wuda immediately stepped forward and threw down a token!
"Ma's goods!" He said coldly.
The guard hurriedly picked up the token on the ground, checked it carefully, then wiped the token clean with his clothes, handed it back to Ma Wu, and said with a smile: "Then everyone, hurry up and enter the city."
No more paying taxes.
Contrary to Su Wen's expectations, after entering the city, it was a peaceful scene.
Although there were some ragged beggars lying on the street, they seemed to look better than refugees.
There was no trace of the refugees.
The shops on the street are also open, and there are many pedestrians and ordinary people.
It seems to be pretty good!
Su Wen was a little puzzled: "There are so many refugees outside, why is the situation in the city like this?"
Murong Yan smiled and said: "Of course it's the county magistrate's credit. Since the disaster broke out, the county magistrate has banned the refugees from outside the city from entering the city, and inside the city, they have opened warehouses to distribute grain and help the people. Passable."
Su Wen was surprised and said: "Then he can be said to have immeasurable merit! During the catastrophe, he was able to control the city so well."
Murong Yan glanced at him, and smiled helplessly: "My good brother, you are so naive, this Jiashan County is not the only city! This county has seven towns and thirteen villages under its jurisdiction, and the people in the county are rescued. , the people in the villages and towns are left alone! Do you think this is boundless merit?"
Su Wen's heart tightened, he understood!
The people in the city are living well because the county magistrate has devoted all resources to the people in the city. The seven towns and thirteen villages outside the city have simply been abandoned!
