Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 195 Chapter 203: The Great Hate

After Li Hao listened to Lu Yun's report, he locked himself in the room for a long time. Lu Yun could vaguely hear sobs coming from the room, but not long after, Li Hao came out again, looking normal. It's just that the eyes were a little red. He and Lu Yun came to the Yatang again, silent for a long time, and murmured in despair: "Yesterday there were 17 people, today there are 53 people, what about tomorrow?"

Lu Yun remained silent. It is foreseeable that more people will starve to death tomorrow.

Li Hao was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Lu Yun, do we still have food in the Governor's Mansion?"

Lu Yun shook his head: "There are only a hundred catties left, and at most it can last until the corn matures."

"Food...hehe..." Li Hao smiled miserably. In the future world, he had never been hungry before, but in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, he had to watch the people in the city starve to death, and all he could do was hide in his room. I secretly wiped my tears, but I couldn't do anything.

"My lord!" There was a loud shout from outside the door, and Peng Hai and Li Yuanzhong walked in side by side. They clasped their fists together and said, "My lord, I beg you to take out the rations and save the lives of the people."

"Army rations!" Li Hao was shocked when he heard the words, and then shook his head, "No, the soldiers' rations cannot be moved."

"My lord!" Peng Hai said impassionedly, "There are still fifty stones of food in the warehouse, please take out twenty stones and save the people first. Beizhi and Li Yuanzhong have already asked the wishes of the soldiers, and they promised to come back every day. Save [-]% of food, save the people first!"

"Another [-]% reduction in food?" Li Hao trembled when he heard the words. The soldiers' food system has been reduced from eight taels a day to five taels a day. After all, soldiers have to practice and fight, so of course they have to eat more. [-]% of the food is saved, so it is three liang of food per person per day, and they are in a state of half hungry and half full.

Li Yuanzhong said at this time: "My lord, now Gaochang is obviously going to besiege the city, and there will be no invasion. The soldiers don't need to have a full meal, they just need to live. Let the people support them first."

Li Hao was silent for a long time, before sighing, "There are so many people in the whole city, what can twenty stone grains do?"

At this time, Lu Yun suddenly said: "My lord, although twenty shi grains are scarce, some wealthy people still have some food in their homes. If these people save some food, they can last until the corn matures, or even longer. We just need to save Those people who are about to starve to death are enough, even if it is not enough, save as much as you can."

Li Hao frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally nodded vigorously: "Okay, Peng Hai, I will leave this matter to you."

"Yes!" Peng Hai and Li Yuanzhong were overjoyed when they heard the words, and hurriedly withdrew.

In the afternoon of that day, a notice was posted on the notice wall, asking the starving people to go to the Weifu to get food to tide over the difficulties. Even if a large group of people went to get food outside the gate of the Weifu, these people had already turned yellow from hunger, Weakness, it can be seen at a glance that he has been hungry for a long time.

That night, Peng Hai came to report that there were 350 people who came to collect food today, and a total of 130 catties of food was distributed, which is three for one stone. The corn will be ripe by the appearance of the sky. Although twenty shi grains are not much, it should be enough.

On the morning of the fifth day, Lu Yun came to report again that another 63 people in the city starved to death. Li Hao cried out in surprise, "Why is this happening? Didn't the food be distributed yesterday? Didn't they go to collect it?"

Lu Yun frowned and shook his head, "I don't know about that either, but these people who starved to death have one thing in common, they are all older people."

"Old people?" Li Hao was taken aback when he heard the words, and guessed that these old people might not have the strength to get food after starving because of their age. Thinking of this, Li Hao immediately summoned Li Yuanzhong and asked Li Yuanzhong to give food to the starving old people. Send food.

On the morning of the sixth day, Lu Yun came to report again that people in the city starved to death again. Just like yesterday, they were all old people, and this time there were many of them, a total of 120 people. Li Hao was shocked when he heard the words, and immediately called Li Yuanzhong to question him He said: "Li Yuanzhong, yesterday I asked you to go door-to-door to deliver food to those starving old people. Why did more than 120 old people starve to death?"

Li Yuanzhong knelt down and clasped his fists and said, "Master, according to your instructions yesterday, I sent people from door to door to deliver food to the starving old people. The food delivered was more than 260 catties. Didn't I miss anything?"

"Then why..." Li Hao just wanted to speak, but suddenly stopped, his eyes were startled, then filled with sadness, he seemed to have thought of something.

On the seventh day, three days before the corn was ripe, Li Hao went to check the corn field early in the morning. It doesn't matter if it is three days, but if it is more than four days in advance, the output of the flour will be greatly reduced.

When he came back from inspecting the corn, before he entered the house, Lu Yun rushed over and clasped his fists to report: "Master, more than 100 old people died of starvation last night."

Li Hao suddenly felt a pain in his heart, he clenched his fists slowly, and his knuckles creaked.

At this time, Lu Yun added: "My lord, there are only more than 400 catties of grain left in the twenty shi. It is estimated that the distribution will be finished today, and there will be no food to distribute tomorrow."

"I see." Li Hao said slowly, "Lu Yun, you go and inform Li Yuanzhong, take people to the corn field to harvest the corn, quickly grind it into flour, and start distributing cornmeal tomorrow, and tell the people in the city that we have food .”

Lu Yun was overjoyed when he heard that the corn could finally be harvested. He cupped his hands excitedly and said, "Yes!" Then he ran towards the Wei Mansion like flying.

Finally, the corn can be harvested, but Li Hao's heart is not stable. He has already guessed the reason why all the people who starved to death are old people, but he is not sure.

Li Hao didn't know where Mr. Zhu Su's home was. Arranged in an orderly manner, there is no sense of confusion.

"Is anyone there?" Li Hao knocked on the courtyard door.

After the voice fell for a moment, a half-grown child walked out of the room, looking about thirteen or fourteen years old, looking at Li Hao with wide eyes, and asked, "Who are you?"

Li Hao said: "My name is Li Hao. I'm here to pay a visit to Mr. Zhu Ziqian. I don't know if it's here?"

The boy nodded and said, "That's right here. My name is Zhu Ruihuan, and Zhu Ziqian is my grandfather."

Seeing that he had found the right place, Li Hao hurriedly asked, "Is your grandpa at home?"

"Yes." Zhu Ruihuan nodded, and then sighed leisurely, "But you are late, my grandpa is already dying."

Li Hao was shocked when he heard the words, he rushed into the courtyard, came to Zhu Ruihuan, and asked: "Where is your grandfather, take me to see him!"

"Come in." Zhu Ruihuan turned back and walked into the house, and then brought Li Hao to the inner room. There was a couch in the small room, and a haggard old man was lying on the couch, wasn't he the old man Zhu Su? .

Seeing this, Li Hao hurriedly stepped forward and called: "Mr. Zhu Su, Zhu Su." While calling, he also stretched out his hand to detect Zhu Su's breath, and found that although his breath was weak, he was not dead yet.

At this time, Mr. Zhu Su also slowly opened his eyes, but he looked very weak. Li Hao took his pulse and found nothing unusual. He immediately guessed something and asked, "Mr. Zhu Su, how long have you not eaten?" ?”

Mr. Zhu Su smiled lightly and didn't speak. It seemed that he was dying and it was very difficult to speak.

Li Hao hurriedly turned his head and asked, "Xiao Zhu, your grandfather hasn't eaten for a few days?"

"Three days." Zhu Ruihuan replied, looking at him, he seemed quite calm, Li Hao really wondered if this was Zhu Su's grandson, he felt like he picked it up.

"I'll go get you some food." Li Hao said and was about to get up and go back.

"Inspector...my lord." Zhu Sulao suddenly spoke, speaking with great difficulty.

Li Hao hurriedly took his hand and asked, "Old Su, what do you have to say? I'll talk about it when I come back from fetching food so that you are full."

"No." Zhu Su shook his head vigorously, "Stop wasting food."

Li Hao exclaimed: "How can this be called a waste of food?"

Zhu Su gathered his strength and said slowly: "I am old, and I can no longer do my best for Datang. Now there is a shortage of food in the city. If I save a morsel of food, others can eat more. This is what I can do for Datang. The last thing."

"Sure enough..." Li Hao's eyes were red, and he murmured softly, "No wonder all the old people starving to death in the city these days, I guessed it right."

Old Zhu Su chuckled: "Your Excellency is really smart, you can't hide anything from you, that's right, it's the old man's idea, anyway, we are all a bunch of old men who are about to die, it doesn't matter if we live a few days less, as long as Tingzhou It’s good for the people to survive.”

Li Hao suddenly realized that he was crying, and couldn't stop crying, he couldn't help it no matter what.

Old Zhu Su said softly: "Don't be sad, my lord. There is an old saying that kindness does not control soldiers. Now you control the lives of the people in the city. You should know how to choose."

Li Hao wiped away his tears and nodded repeatedly.

Elder Zhu Su said again: "My lord, this old man is dying. Now he is on his deathbed, but there is still one wish left unfulfilled."

Li Hao had already wiped away his tears, and said solemnly: "Mr. Su, please tell me, the younger generation will definitely not refuse."

Zhu Su said: "My grandson, Zhu Ruihuan, has no father or mother since he was a child. He was born in a lonely life. The old man is always busy and lacks discipline. He is so stubborn now. Fortunately, now that the old man is about to die, he has also repented. Willing to starve to death with the old man."

Hearing this, Li Hao looked back at Zhu Ruihuan in surprise. It turned out that the reason why he was so indifferent was because he also had the heart to die, so he couldn't help giving this kid a high look.

I just heard Zhu Su continue to say: "Now that the governor is here, I want to ask him to take him away and keep him by his side in the future. No matter what he does, he has to live like a human being. He is still young, and he still has a lot of money." Years are waiting for him, he shouldn't go to hell with the old man."

"En." Li Hao nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, Mr. Su, I will take good care of him and let him live like a human being!"

"So... this old man... don't worry." Zhu Su's voice suddenly trembled, almost out of breath, and Li Hao's heart trembled when he heard it.

Sure enough, after Zhu Su finished the last word, he didn't catch his breath and passed away, but his expression was very peaceful.

Li Hao slowly closed his eyes, and said sadly: "Old man, you have gone well all the way, don't worry, the people of Tingzhou will be fine, and your grandson will be fine, the people of Datang have always been proud of Datang , Datang is also proud of having people like the old man."

Li Hao mourned for more than ten minutes, and then slowly got up. When he turned around, he found Zhu Ruihuan was wiping tears. Now he looked at Zhu Ruihuan carefully, and found that the young boy's expression was very stubborn, which was somewhat different from his own. Similar, he stepped forward and said, "You are under my control now."

Zhu Ruihuan rolled his eyes: "Who cares about you."

The look of rolling his eyes was more like himself, Li Hao didn't feel annoyed, and said: "Let's go." After saying that, he turned and went out.

Although Zhu Ruihuan spoke hard, he still followed out. Li Hao went to the street and saw a mansion soldier, stepped forward to hold him back, and asked, "Do you know me?"

The mansion soldier stared at him for a moment, and immediately shouted in surprise: "Assassin... Lord Inspector!"

Li Hao nodded, pointed to Zhu Su's hometown, and said slowly: "Mr. Zhu Su has passed away. This is his grandson Zhu Ruihuan. You take Xiao Zhu to buy a coffin. After arranging the cemetery, go to the Governor's Mansion and let me know. to the funeral."

"Yes." Hearing this, the mansion soldier bowed his hands and accepted the order, beckoned to Zhu Ruihuan, and took him to set up the coffin.

Watching the soldiers leave, Li Hao slowly climbed to the top of the city, looked at the Gaochang army outside the city, and suddenly said leisurely: "The silkworms will die when the silkworms die, and the torch will turn into ashes and tears will dry. Zhu Su lived until the last moment of his life." Still shining for Datang, this kind of spirit is really admirable, Mr. Su can rest assured that the sacrifice of you and the elders will not be in vain."

Speaking of this, he suddenly became sullen, clenched his fists, and seemed to have an infinite evil spirit rising into the sky. He suddenly raised his right hand, pointed his finger at the sky, and shouted in a deep voice: "I, Li Hao, point to the sky today as a witness." , Gaochang must be destroyed in his lifetime, even if his body is smashed to pieces and his brains are smashed, he will not hesitate!"
