After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

As for those who were unable to leave the Four States immediately due to various reasons, some of them either actively or passively chose to stay at home and endure, but the vast majority of the remaining people ended up Due to the situation, I chose to leave my hometown with my family.

For those who stayed behind, the people sent by Yu Zizhen generously shared with them all the places where they fetched water.

Where there is water, there is life. Although this little life cannot feed everyone in the four states, it is still possible to feed the very few people left behind.

They even left a large, finely woven net for those people. With this net, when there were more locusts, they could catch them and eat them for a while.

As for how to eat that stuff, the native farmers knew better than the people sent by Yu Zizhen.

As for those who were preparing to leave with their families, they were actually a heavier burden to those sent by Yu Zizhen than those who stayed behind.

They left late, and as the drought continued to intensify, they could no longer obtain food and water anytime and anywhere along the way.

The most important thing is that local officials who reacted belatedly have begun to restrict the continued outflow of people under their jurisdiction.

Fortunately, most of them only have government servants at hand, and the government servants are basically locals, just like those Li Zheng and Zhen Ting who chose to run away with their family members and neighbors. Government officials are also generally more inclined to let their family members, relatives and friends live.

Occasionally, there are those who insist on helping the tiger, but with their ability, they do not cause much trouble to Yu Zizhen's subordinates.

The only troublesome thing is the one where there are garrison troops nearby and the garrison generals are in cahoots with local officials.

For the time being, Yu Zizhen had no intention of raising a flag and becoming an enemy of the imperial court, so all of her subordinates consciously avoided the officers and soldiers.

When officers and soldiers blocked the road, they had no choice but to open a new path to allow the refugees to take a detour, or they could bribe the officers and soldiers guarding the checkpoint with gold, silver and jewelry to lure them through.

Fortunately, more than 90% of the levels have low mountains, wilderness or country roads nearby that they can take a detour. Otherwise, the bribe alone would be enough for Yu Zizhen to drink.

Because Yu Zizhen and his subordinates helped them solve most of the problems, the escape of the victims was much smoother than they imagined.

At first, they didn't have many special emotions towards this mysterious and powerful caravan. They just numbly regarded each other as a group of profiteers who made a fortune from disaster.

But gradually, people's hearts are basically leaning towards this country where the price of goods is lower, the buyer pays more, and the accompanying doctor treats them without charging a consultation fee, and occasionally gives them a roll of straw mat for free. A caravan that helped them bury their dead relatives.

In order for them to find the burial place of their loved ones' bodies in the future, those strong and sturdy men would carve the burial place on the thin bamboo slices stroke by stroke after the corpse was buried.

Although many people may not have the financial means to take this escape route again in this life, let alone come to take away the bones of their relatives in the future, when they get the piece of paper with the details of "xx Prefecture (prefecture), xx County, xx Town" , "The small piece of bamboo in "XX Mountain" between XX Village and XX Village, their bereavement pain was still greatly comforted. And as the drought continued to worsen and prices continued to soar, the victims discovered that this caravan, which acted very differently, actually ensured their personal safety to a certain extent.

Whether they are those who want to steal, rob, abuse women, kidnap and traffic children, or those who hoard and prepare to make a fortune, the existence of this caravan has become a great obstacle to them.

Relying on their strong force value, smart minds, quick reactions and the large amount of supplies they continuously sent, they have been able to contain the evil of human nature to a large extent.

Those who want to hoard are depressed. They can't figure out who is behind the endless supply of the seemingly inexhaustible supplies of this caravan?

In the beginning, their guesses about the people behind this caravan were limited to a few wealthy local families. However, as time went by, they gradually discovered the people behind their colleagues one by one. .

After this list, everyone quickly discovered that according to their observations, hadn't all the local wealthy families come to an end?

So who is the backer behind that abominable caravan that blocks their financial path?

Everyone started a new round of investigation and testing, but what made them depressed was that they continued to investigate, but they still failed to find out the person behind the scenes.

As for the results of the trial. After several confrontations, they didn't take any advantage at all. No matter what moves they made, the other party could cut off their probing hands.

In the end, those who want to hoard can only deduce that the other party must have a great background based on the comprehensive strength and tough attitude shown by the other party.

But this was not enough for them. Based on this information alone, they could not judge whether they could be cruel to this caravan.

Just when they were struggling and hesitating, Yu Zizhen started her delivery of supplies to these four states and surrounding states and counties.

Just as Yu Zizhen had expected, even because of her relationship, the disaster was revealed in advance, so that the local officials in the four states could not cover up the matter, but could only settle for the next best thing. They wrote to the court one after another, requesting the court to allocate funds for disaster relief, showing their active attitude in solving the problem, but the Daqi court, which had received the news earlier, still failed to take action immediately.

It will take time for Zhezi to reach the capital, it will take time for the officials in the capital to come up with a reason for their dispute, and it will also take time for the court to arrange manpower and allocate materials for disaster relief.

After completing these three links, almost two months have passed. Those anxious people who really want to provide disaster relief, such as the Qingliu group headed by Yang Zhengde, have seen the blisters in their mouths disappear. , in the end, even the bitter soup could no longer suppress their anger.

If it weren't for Yu Zizhen's intervention, the number of refugees' deaths would be greatly reduced, and those who were interested in causing trouble would also be picked out by people arranged by Yu Zizhen among the victims and sent to other places for secret detention and interrogation. The civil unrest that should have affected half of Daqi has been eliminated, but Daqi has already been completely in chaos.

But despite all her efforts, most officials in Daqi didn't care at all.
