Chapter 120 Refugees, Relief

Shu An guessed that these names should be Yaya's playmates along the way, who are also children of refugees.

It's just that there are not so many lucky people like Ya Ya. Most of the refugees have no relatives in Chang'an, and even if they have relatives, they may not be accepted.

After all, even a rich family does not accept Yaya mother and daughter, and there are also many conflicts in ordinary families.

After being accepted, food, clothing and housing are all problems, and they are all problems in themselves, let alone after accepting these relatives.

Of course, Shu An didn't have any thoughts about this, each family had its own difficulties, so it wouldn't be strange if he didn't accept him.

After all, people always think about themselves first. As for relatives, after all, they can be regarded as familiar outsiders. If the wife and children can't guarantee it, then accepting these relatives is a big problem.

"I don't know where Yaya is going to find them?"

Shu An's voice sounded, he was still wondering why this little girl secretly hid a steamed stuffed bun, he didn't care about it before, it turned out it was for other playmates.

After the voice fell, Yaya was stunned, and this scene naturally caught Shu An's eyes, and she couldn't help but smile inwardly.

This little girl and Lizhi are only the same age, and they were born with different fates. Fortunately, the matchmaker protected her very well.

Although hunger was a problem before, Shu An believed that Matchmaker must have given this daughter the best food.

"Uncle, Ya Ya doesn't know where to find Da Niu and the others."

The little girl spoke with a low emotional voice. She still remembered that when they separated, she wanted to treat them to eat.

"How about uncle and grandpa taking Yaya to look for it?"

Shu An's voice sounded. In fact, he was also somewhat curious about these refugees.

He wants to know how these refugees are doing. After all, he sent people to pay attention to the number of refugees. If the timing is right, they can start relief.

The timing should be almost there. If his calculations are correct, in two or three days, the number of refugees in Chang'an will skyrocket.

After Shu An finished speaking, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she got closer to this uncle.

On the outskirts of Chang'an, due to the influx of refugees, the originally deserted land was filled with refugees from the pass.

Simply building a shed has become the home of these refugees. Most of these people are because they want to work for a wealthy family, and many people even make a living by begging.

Originally, they were a group of people who were not rich enough to become refugees, so they had already eaten all the food they brought on the road to and from Chang'an.

You must know that due to the severe drought in the entire pass, the price of rice has risen to twice that of Chang'an, so you can imagine how the people will live.

A simple carriage came slowly, and the carriage was driven by Shu Kuanghu, when his master had the idea of ​​going to the place where the refugees gathered.

Even Shu Kuanghu couldn't help being startled, one must know that the hungry and crazy refugees don't care who the master is An Xuangong or what his identity is.

But in the end Shu Kuanghu had no choice but to compromise, because no one could stop his master's decision. After thinking of this, Shu Kuanghu couldn't help but wry smile.

The arrival of the carriage naturally attracted the attention of many refugees, and even some refugees had already greeted them.

"My lord, please do me a favor."

"I haven't eaten for three days."

There was a begging sound, and there was a pitiful look on their faces.

Shu An couldn't help but sighed slightly. Originally, he wanted to go to the refugee gathering place, but now it seemed a little difficult.

On the contrary, the little girl looked through the window of the carriage with a trace of sympathy, perhaps because she was once a member of them, and her mood was low.

Shu An couldn't help but patted the little girl's head, and gestured to comfort her. It seemed that there were more refugees in Chang'an than expected.

However, some people did not pour into the whole Chang'an because they still had some money to spend, otherwise the whole Chang'an would be begging at the gate.

After all, this is the only way for refugees to survive, and it is precisely because there are not many refugees in Chang'an that Li Shimin still feels good about himself.

According to Baiqi, many people have been sent to the pass during this period of time, and the supervision on the outskirts of Chang'an is obviously much weaker.

"It seems that we can't find anyone today."

Shu An said softly to the little girl, after all, the refugees looked so crowded, it might be difficult for them to get off the carriage.

After thinking about this, Shu An made a decision. Since he couldn't find anyone, let someone come to them. It's time for food relief. He asked Li Shimin to see how many refugees there are.

Shu An's group didn't stay here for long. After Shu Kuanghu dropped dozens of copper coins, the crowd dispersed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the carriages began to leave, and there were at least a dozen refugee gathering places on the outskirts of Chang'an.

The small ones have hundreds of people, and the large ones have nearly a thousand people. After adding up the total, there are as few as 5000 people.

And this number is still increasing, a steady stream of refugees coming from the pass, even forming a long queue.

However, Shu An also frowned slightly, because with the increase in the number of people, the management here was very chaotic.

He also saw a picture of a strong man bullying a woman, and he couldn't help feeling a little disgusted in his heart. This place should not be a place of lawlessness.

After thinking of this, Shu An couldn't help but secretly remembered that if there was no management, it would be easy to cause riots under deliberate instigation.

The reason why Shu An saved these people was to give them a way out, instead of dying in the drought, of course, he also had his own thoughts.

Although his reputation among the refugees is not obvious now, this is only the beginning, and often inadvertently arranged, the final effect is the best.

And when Shu An returned to Chang'an, the same news spread quickly among the refugees.

"It is said that Chang'an Shu Mansion will help us refugees tomorrow."

"How is this possible, which rich man would be so kind."

"Wait, is the Shu Mansion the mansion of Duke Anxuan? If so, then it is certain."

"Duke Anxuan is a well-known great master, and even helped many people before."

One after another voices of discussion rang out, some people were skeptical, thinking that there is no free lunch in the world, and some people had heard of An Xuangong's name.

However, this night is destined to have many refugees sleepless all night, and this about Anxuangong's relief has affected the hearts of many refugees.

Especially through word of mouth, An Xuangong's reputation gradually became louder, but in fact, most of these refugees were the people in the pass who were close to the Chang'an area.

Therefore, it was not because of the rumors that An Xuangong predicted the heavenly secrets that he moved, which caused Shu An's reputation to be not well-known.
