Dongfang Feiyang smiled and said, "Go ahead!"

"Sister, I want to know if there is no good official here who cares about the people? And those grain shops in the city, are there any that give out porridge? Or have they helped the people?"

"no!"

A trace of hatred flashed in the eldest sister's eyes. "Don't even mention the officials. Even the grain stores in the city are all in cahoots with the government."

"They protect each other among their officials. Every time the imperial court allocates disaster relief grain, it all falls into their hands, and then they sell it to us ordinary people at a high price!"

"If you have a better family and some money, you can spend more money and not starve to death, but for ordinary people like us..."

The eldest sister couldn't help crying, and Dongfang Feiyang sighed, "They really deserve to die!"

"Big sister, take this first. After it's cooked, you and the child can eat some first!"

Dongfang Feiyang handed his eldest sister a small bag. There was not much food in it, only two or three pounds.

The eldest sister was stunned for a moment, then touched the package, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Sir, what you gave me is..."

I really don't dare to say the word "food".

I can't believe it. Why do the things in here feel so much like food? How is it possible?

The price of food is sky-high now.

But it's not something an ordinary woman like her can have.

The eldest sister suddenly thought, this young man followed her back, could it be that he was planning to give him food from the beginning?

There are too many people outside, you must be worried about your own safety, right?

Sir, you are really considerate!

"Sir, this thing is too precious!"

The eldest sister held the bag of food tightly in her hands. This food would allow her and her son to live a dozen more days.

Dongfang Feiyang comforted him, "It's because the court came too late!"

"But don't worry, the imperial court will start distributing porridge tomorrow afternoon at the latest!"

The eldest sister's eyes lit up, "Sir, is what you just said true? The court is really going to distribute porridge? Is it for one or two days or all the time?"

It will definitely take more than a day or two for them to resolve the disaster.

"This time it must be resolved once and for all!"

"But does the imperial court have so much food?"

There are hundreds of thousands of people affected by the disaster here.

Even if there have been people fleeing famine in recent times, there are estimated to be 300,000 or 400,000 in nearby cities.

If the imperial court were to take charge of everything, it would need a lot of food.

“There must be a way to solve it!”

Dongfang Feiyang has already thought of a countermeasure. The food and medicine he brought with him are not much, but they should be able to hold out for a while.

The most important thing now is to search the house!

I’m sorry to say that those officials and unscrupulous businessmen’s warehouses can’t even protect themselves.

Anyway, it was embezzled disaster relief grain, and we are just using it for the people.

As for those who break the law, we will never let any of them go!

Before leaving, the emperor told him sincerely that after arriving in the disaster area, he could handle some important matters on his own.

For example, those who are corrupt.

The emperor has made it very clear that he has zero tolerance for those people.

No matter how many officials there are, he can behead them all.

Of course, they can also be asked to do hard labor.

Dongfang Feiyang had also made up his mind on the way that he would have all the officials here thoroughly investigated, including those unscrupulous businessmen.

If anyone dares to make money by dirty tricks, I will never let him go.

"My Lord, I know you are trying to comfort me, but the situation here is different from other places. The emperor is far away. Even if those people embezzled all the food and all the people here died, the emperor wouldn't know about it!"

The eldest sister said with a disappointed look on her face.

It’s not that she is too pessimistic, but that they have been disappointed too many times.

"Sister Su is right, there is no good person in the court!"

A little girl who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, her clothes were dirty and full of patches, and there was dust on the girl's face, looking like she had just rolled around in the field.

I don't know how long he had been listening outside, but he suddenly ran in, talking angrily.

Dongfang Feiyang raised his eyebrows.

"We have been looking forward to this too many times. When the disaster first occurred, we heard that the adults here had already reported it to the higher authorities."

"Grandpa Liu said that they had encountered disasters before, and people would come to provide relief soon. They said that although we couldn't live the same life as before, we would still be able to avoid starvation. But who could have thought..."

"How long has it been? The disaster relief from the court hasn't arrived yet."
