Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

"Then what do we do?"

Cheng Chumo touched his war horse in pain.

Soldiers regard horses as their second life.

Although Cheng Chumo has never been on the battlefield, he has always been a soldier.

He likes the mare under his crotch very much, and it hurts to see her panting with exhaustion.

"Go back and let them save themselves."

Finally, Qin Huaiyu and the others said.

It's not that they don't want to save, but that there are too many people to save.

If the rescue continues like this, not only their horses will not be able to bear it, but they may also be pulled into the water.

The five of them took a deep look at the rising water level in front of them, as well as the people struggling in the water, and they all ran in the opposite direction as soon as they were cruel.

The water level is getting higher and higher.

The water potential is also getting bigger and bigger.

More states and counties were affected.

There are more people affected.

The area of ​​Henan Road closest to the Yellow River is like a purgatory on earth.

There are cases of fleeing everywhere, fleeing in the opposite direction of the Yellow River.

The order of the affected states and counties has collapsed, and the county magistrates can hardly find anyone.

a few days later.

In a small mountain village on Hedong Road.

There is already a long distance from the Yellow River.

But even so, the Great Escape must also begin here.

Not by the water of the Yellow River, but by the panic of the refugees.

In a family of four.

"Father, hasn't the flood hit us yet? Why did you run away?"

This is the question of a ten-year-old boy.

"If you don't arrive now, it doesn't mean you won't arrive later. You can see that so many people have fled to us."

The mother who was packing her luggage said hurriedly.

"But it's really far away from the Yellow River."

The boy still doesn't understand.

But obediently helped pack the luggage.

"Xiaobai, Dad has studied for several years, and he understands a truth."

"The book says that what is terrible is not the flood, but the refugees after the flood."

The boy's father stopped what he was doing, looked at the boy, and said solemnly.

"Father, why?"

Xiaobai still didn't understand.

He didn't understand this truth when he was young.

"Did you see those refugees who showed up today?"

the boy's father asked.

"I saw it."

Xiaobai nodded solemnly.

He discovered this morning that hundreds of refugees had appeared in the village.

All of them were disheveled, as if they had been starved for a long time.

As soon as they appeared, they asked for water to drink, and some even went to the well in the village to fetch water for drinking.

It's scary.

"I heard that they fled for several days."

"Fleeing people, the money and food in their hands will run out sooner or later."

"The flood may not affect our place, but tens of thousands of refugees will definitely pass through us."

"Our village is too small to hold hundreds of people. Once they come, our village will be destroyed and we will become refugees. The sooner we leave, the better our chances of surviving."

The boy's father spoke earnestly.

"I seem to understand."

Xiaobai nodded heavily, but shook his head again.

He thought he understood, but he didn't seem to understand.

"Awesome!"

"Xiaobai, if we get separated, you must remember to take good care of your sister!"

The boy's father praised the boy, and then exhorted him.

"Ok!"

Xiao Bai looked at his two-year-old sister who was sitting on the ground aside, and said solemnly.

Soon after, the family fled.

At this time, more refugees poured into this small village.

Some refugees asked for help, hoping to give some porridge and water to drink.

Some refugees are more brutal and directly force their way into the house.

......

The gate of Liaozhou city.

Du He and the five returned here.

Behind them was a carriage, which was carrying the seriously injured Liao Fengmao.

There is no shadow of any flood here, and people come and go without being affected at all.

"We lured some of the refugees here. I wonder if Fang Yuan will blame him?"

Du He looked at the ordinary city gate in front of him and sighed.

Along the way, he saw some states and counties that were unwilling to accept refugees.

Faced with Du He and others asking for help, they said that their own county had to save themselves.

Presumably, he was worried that there would be too many refugees, so that he could not control them and dare not rescue them.

"Let him go, the most is that the business will not be done."

Qin Huaiyu sneered.

It is estimated that there is a high possibility of not wanting to save.

After all, if the control is not good, the refugees will affect the local people, causing even greater disasters and losing official positions.

But they have attracted the refugees, it is up to Fang Yuan to accept it or not, if he has any blame, at most he will stop cooperating with the previously negotiated business.

"Let's talk about the advanced city."

The eldest grandson walked towards the city gate with a bang.

Seeing this, several other people stopped talking and went into the city together.

After they entered the city, they rushed towards the governor's mansion.

Chapter 164 Comprehensive control, Liaozhou is the dawn

Governor's House.

Du He and others came in.

"How about the flood?"

Fang Yuan invited Du He and others to sit down and ask.

Every day he asked people to inquire about the flood situation.

However, it is estimated that Du He and others did not understand it so clearly.

"The leaks should have stopped, but the impact is many places."

"Nowadays, refugees are fleeing in all directions, and many of them are coming in the direction of Liaozhou."

Du He said in a deep voice.

Several people looked at Fang Yuan.

"How is Liao Fengmao now?"

Fang Yuan nodded and continued to ask.

"He was seriously injured and unconscious. When he entered the city, he was sent to Fangfu."

Duhe continued to answer.

But he was a little curious, wondering if Fang Yuan didn't care about the refugees coming here?

"Thank you for your hard work, go back and rest first."

"We will talk about the business cooperation in a few days."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said.

"You... don't you care about refugees coming here?"

Qin Huaiyu couldn't hold back and asked.

Several people were also curious, wanting to know Fang Yuan's thoughts.

"Is it useful to care?"

Fang Yuan shook his head and laughed.

East Road is too close to Henan Road.

Refugees coming this way is totally expected.

"Then do you plan to open the city gate to accept those refugees?"

Qin Huaiyu continued to ask.

This is also what Duhe and others want to know.

"The gates of the city will not be opened, but the refugees will still be accepted!"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

The city gate cannot be opened, and the risk will be great.

Fang Yuan who had been a refugee knew how crazy hunger can make a person.

If the city gate is opened, a large number of refugees will pour in, which will destroy the survival structure of the city.

"Then how do you accept them?"

Qin Huaiyu asked puzzledly.

How do you accept refugees without opening the gates of the city?

"You will find out later."

Fang Yuan didn't intend to elaborate.
