Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1850 Refugees Entering Beijing
The atmosphere in Chang'an City was a bit tense, because all the people knew that there was a famine on the Henan Road, and almost [-] people migrated to Chang'an City in search of a way out.

For the hungry people, many people don't have any compassion. Of course, even if they have compassion, they can't help so many people.

What they were more worried about was whether so many hungry people flooded into Chang'an City would affect their lives and their business.

Hungry people, in the eyes of many people, they are almost like robbers, what can't they do to get enough food?
It's just that they can't refuse the entry of hungry people.

This is Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. If the hungry people can't come here, is this capital still a capital?
The capital city is not a place that keeps people away thousands of miles away. The capital city is a place where the people can find ways to survive.

Time passed slowly like this, and soon, refugees entered Beijing.

This morning, outside Chang'an City, the first group of refugees came outside Chang'an City, but after they arrived outside Chang'an City, they were not let in by the guards, but stopped them in Chang'an City outside.

These refugees are very hungry now. After they are allowed to go in, something may happen. They may see some shops and rush in to rob them.

This situation, when other refugees came, did not happen.

Therefore, according to past experience, after the refugees came, they would be blocked outside the city first to prevent them from entering the city.

After the disaster relief work is almost completed, they will choose to let them enter the city, because at this time, they are no longer hungry, and they will not cause trouble when they enter the city.

Doing so discriminated against these refugees to some extent, but after the hungry people entered Chang'an City, some people did misbehavior. In order to prevent the merchants and people in Chang'an City from suffering, the imperial court could only do this.

And the people of Chang'an City also hope to do the same.

However, when these refugees first arrived, they quickly got into trouble with the guards.

"Let us in, let us in, we're going to eat, we're going to eat..."

Although the first batch of refugees was not many, there were one or two thousand people. When they made such a fuss at the city gate, there was quite a lot of movement.

However, those gatekeepers didn't get the order, and they dared to let them in, so before it was time to close the city gate, the gatekeeper closed the city gate first.

Moreover, he quickly sent someone to report to Donggong.

Li Chengqian had already heard the news, so when the guards came to report the news, he had already rushed to the city gate.

After he came to the top of the tower, he looked down. At this time, many refugees below were shouting non-stop, and many people were banging on the door. They were very hungry, and they looked a little violent at this moment.

There is food in the city, as long as they go in, they can eat. Naturally, they want to go in crazily now.

When people are hungry, they can do anything.

Crazy, crazy.

Li Chengqian looked at the hungry people below, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, if you want to survive, you should all settle down for this prince. This prince has already ordered people to set up a tent five miles away from Chang'an City, and he has already done it for you!" After the porridge tent is set up, if you want to eat, go there, it is useless to call the door here."

In order to deal with this matter, Li Chengqian had sent people to make preparations a few days earlier, but after these hungry people heard this, they didn't have the slightest intention of leaving.

There is food in the city, and they can get food when they go in. Why do they have to travel five miles to get food?

Five miles is not a short distance, they said it would take at least half an hour to walk, they are too hungry, they don't want to go, why not give them something to eat here now?
"If we don't leave, we will enter the city, we will enter the city, let us in quickly."

"Yes, let us go into the city, we are hungry, we are hungry..."

The hungry people were a little crazy, Li Chengqian's words didn't have much effect at all, these people didn't want to leave.

The situation is not going well for Li Chengqian.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian's eyes froze. They were kind enough to help these refugees. Fortunately, they didn't know how to flatter them, and they wanted to come to the city. If they were allowed to enter the city, wouldn't there be some troubles?

Although he also sympathizes with these refugees, it is inevitable that these refugees will make people feel unhappy when they do such a thing.

"If you continue to make trouble here, the prince will shoot you as troublemakers and rebels."

After saying this, Li Chengqian said again: "If you want to live, go to the porridge tent to eat and rest. If you don't want to live, just continue to make trouble for me here."

As he spoke, Li Chengqian waved his hand, and the soldiers and horses on the city tower immediately pulled up the bows and arrows in their hands after seeing it.

Seeing this situation, some small officials on the city tower suddenly became nervous. When the hungry people came, they should be killed first. This situation might not be good.

"His Royal Highness, this... I'm afraid it won't work?"

If the hungry people were really killed, I'm afraid that someone will impeach Li Chengqian in the morning tomorrow, and Li Chengqian will accumulate a reputation based on this incident. If he kills someone, how can he accumulate this reputation?
But at this time Li Chengqian was standing on the tower, his eyes were like lightning.

"If you don't go, we won't go, we're going into the city..."

Li Chengqian's words calmed down the hungry people below, or scared them, but it was only for a while, because soon, someone jumped out again, clamoring to enter the city.

In the eyes of this starving man, Prince Li Chengqian did not dare to kill him. If he killed him, Li Chengqian's reputation would be ruined.

However, just after he yelled, Li Chengqian waved his hand, and then a sharp arrow flew away, directly hitting the man's face, and before the man finished speaking, he fell down. down.

Blood sprayed, and the surroundings suddenly dispersed in a panic.

The scene became quiet again, and the few people who looked at the city tower were a little diffuse and a little frightened.

Did he really kill someone?
"If you want to survive, go to the tent five miles away to eat. I have already arranged food and accommodation for you, and there are some doctors who will help you see a doctor, but if you continue to make trouble here, I am sorry, Ben The prince never relents when he kills people."

This time, no one questioned Li Chengqian's words anymore, and they finally understood that their lives are often like ants, and the court values ​​them, but it can also despise them.

Soon, some people couldn't bear the pressure, or they were too hungry, so they turned around and rushed to the porridge tent.

Someone went, and everyone else hurriedly followed.
