Weird fairy

Chapter 825 Food

Li Huowang walked in Daqi with a dignified expression, looking at everything around him.

This is not what Niu San said, there is nothing but grass, at least in this Youdu, the capital of Daliang, there are countless ruins.

Li Huowang passed it from Shangjing with the spine sword, and naturally came to the capital of Daqi. After all, Shangjing was built on the capital of Daqi.

A person blocked Li Huowang's way, and she lay on the ground, lifeless like a corpse.

This person's body looks fat, ten days of hunger is not enough to thin her body into a skeleton, but because of drinking too much water, her whole body is swollen a lot.

Just when Li Huowang raised his foot and stepped past him, she suddenly moved, and tremblingly raised her right hand with blackened nails to Li Huowang.

Her chapped and white lips tremblingly opened as if she wanted to say something, but before Li Huowang could do anything, her raised hand fell down, and she was starved to death.

Qiu Chishen, who was at the side, was terrified by this scene, and ran away crying and hugging his rotten child.

Li Huowang clenched his hands tightly, then slowly let go, and continued to stride forward.

This is not the first person he has seen starved to death, and I am afraid it will not be the last. This kind of road fall is everywhere in the capital of Daqi.

Although Li Huowang knew that the most important thing he should do now was to transport grain from Daliang, and he could save one of them.

But if you want to save the whole Daqi, you can't do that.

If they can't make a living, let them start to save themselves, no matter how they transport the food, it won't help.

Disaster relief requires not only food, but also sufficient organizational capacity to integrate the entire Daqi refugees.

When Li Huowang came to a temple and looked at the rows of monks who were giving away porridge, he immediately realized that he had found the person he was looking for, the monks of Zhengde Temple.

Just as Li Huowang was about to walk over, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with this scene, "There is nothing, where did this porridge come from?"

Thinking of this, he walked quickly to the side of the porridge shop, and found that what was distributed to the people of Daqi was not white porridge or multigrain porridge, but broth!

At this moment, a monk pushing a wheelbarrow came out from the city. There were all kinds of dead people lying on the wheelbarrow. The woman on top was the dead person who starved to death in front of him!
"Amitabha, Li benefactor, don't come here without any harm." Zen Du, the abbot of Zhengde Temple, said standing behind Li Huowang.

Li Huowang turned around and looked at him in shock. "You... are you eating people?!"

"Benefactor Li, this statement is wrong. They are all dead things. In the eyes of the Buddha, all mortal bodies are skins. Besides, the monks of our Zhengde Temple will recite scriptures and beat wooden fish for salvation before cooking."

"Furthermore, there is no food anywhere now. The poor monk is a monk after all, and a monk is merciful. You can't watch others starve to death just because of the taboo of the dead, right?"

Li Huowang stood there in a daze for a long time without saying anything, ignoring the cauldron beside him, turned around and walked towards Zhengde Temple.

He knew that under such circumstances, if he said that he would not let them eat human flesh, then he might be the real reason why they should not eat minced meat, they just wanted to live.

Compared with the whole of Kyoto, Zhengde Temple is not much dilapidated because of the maintenance of monks. At least on the surface, it can be used for people.

The monks inside looked pretty good, and they didn't look hungry.

Li Huowang sat down directly on the stone bench under the sprouting saplings, and said directly to Chandu, "This is not going to work, and people who have no food left will starve to death sooner or later."

"Isn't Zhengde Temple the state religion of Daqi in the past? And you have done so many good deeds, your prestige in Daqi should be pretty good, right?"

"Why did Benefactor Li say this?"

"To save people! I don't want to see others starve to death!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Huowang confided all his thoughts to the abbot of Zhengde Temple.

"Borrowing your prestige from Zhengde Temple, gather as many people as possible who are still alive, and I will send as much food and seeds as possible. The same planting, unified distribution."

"Among the living people, there must be some officials who are good at management. Let them work. It is best to let Daqi's court start to resume work as soon as possible. Only in this way can we revive Daqi's dead game!"

"Amitabha, benefactor Li is a great bodhisattva with a heart, and I thank the people of Daqi." Chan Du performed the Buddhist salute to Li Huowang.

"Okay! Don't bother talking nonsense, let's do it quickly, people are dying all the time in Daqi now."

Li Huowang stood up after speaking, and took out his spine sword to go back to the beam, but was blocked by Chandu.

"Senior brother Li, it is rumored that you have achieved great cultivation? Can you create food out of nothing?"

"Do you think this kind of thing is possible? Do you think I am the commander?" Li Huowang sighed again after speaking, "I don't know if it will be possible in the future, but at least I can't now."

"I do have the ability to conjure food now." Li Huowang looked at the stone table in front of him. Under his gaze, the stones expanded and became round one by one, and soon turned into a pile of white steamed buns.

The white steamed buns instantly caught the attention of the monk of Zhengde Temple, and the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard endlessly.

"This kind of thing is naturally edible and delicious, but after eating it, as long as I don't maintain my cultivation, they will turn into stone."

As Li Huowang thought about it, the steamed bun instantly turned hard black.

"I can't be distracted all the time and think that these grains are real. Not only is it slow, but it won't save many people at all. With this effort, wouldn't it be faster for me to send a few bags of grain from Daliang?"

"What I want to save is not some people, but a group of people, I want to save the whole Daqi!" Li Huowang said as he took out his spine sword and returned to Shangjing.

After returning to Shangjing, Li Huowang stopped talking nonsense and rushed directly to the grain store to ask for grain.

Just when the owner of the grain store thought he had met a big customer and was so happy that he couldn't find Bei, an old eunuch walked in with his golden whisk in his arms.

"Reverend Li, if you buy food with the gold obtained from cultivation, you will be a liar."

"This is all the food that the people of Daliang worked so hard to fill their stomachs, but you sent it to Daqi empty-handed, isn't it against the rules?"

Li Huowang looked at him and sneered, "Who says I'm going to cheat? I have money! I still have a yard in Shangjing City! What? I sold the yard and bought land for food, right?"

"That's natural. Although the price of food is high now, every inch of land in the capital is expensive. A yard is worth a lot of money, but what if the money from selling the house is spent?"

Standing in front of him, Li Huowang said with a single word: "My mother is still pickling a Xinsu corpse in Shangjing! Is that enough? Get out now!!"

The eunuch took two steps back, saluted Li Huowang respectfully, turned and left the grain store.

Li Huowang, who was burning with anger, turned around, and the shopkeeper of Liangdian trembled in fright. "What are you looking at! Hurry up and get the guy to pack the food! I'll get the title deed!"
