Sheng Chong and Abandoned Concubine: The Sixth Miss Doctor

Chapter 1397 The Wife-Guarding Mad Demon
Zhao Yi felt that he had already compromised and let people come in. It would be a big loss if he opened a warehouse to release grain.

After all, the imperial court had no intention to open warehouses for disaster relief, not to mention that in his view, this was not a disaster at all. The disaster caused by the Japanese pirates had not been completely subsided, and the place was riddled with holes and there was no food left.

Naturally, Deputy General Luo couldn't make him feel better, "Zhaozhi County, what are we fighting against the Japanese pirates on the front line for? Isn't it just to serve the country loyally and protect the family and the people? You also mean the same in the back, and now let the common people ignore it. Who is loyal to the emperor and serves the country?"

Zhao Yi thought in his heart that being loyal to the emperor and serving the country means being loyal to the royal family and having a fart relationship with the common people.

Of course he wouldn't say it, he just said haha, it's very easy for a civil servant to prevaricate a general.

It would be even easier if the general did something, and he would have a report at that time, saying that the Pingwa army was proud of their credit, bullied others, and wanted to mutiny!

Although Deputy General Luo is reckless, he is not stupid. He used to follow Xu Yaoqing, and now he follows Xu Lingyue. He has been influenced and restrained a lot, so naturally he would not beat people at this stall.

Zhao Yi didn't stand up to him, instead he kept crying about his poverty, telling him that the war had been going on here, and all the food had been handed over, and now the rest didn't even have enough food to eat.

"It's flooded a little more, so there's no more harvest. Could it be that the princess must starve the people in the city to death in order to save those few people?"

There are many people in the city who are not farmers, they are handicraftsmen, and their families rely on their work to earn money and then buy food for food.

No one has so much money and place to buy food for next or two years.

Therefore, if all the grain from the official warehouses and rice stores were used to help those flooded families, ordinary people would suffer disaster.

While Zhao Yi was in a dilemma, he gritted his teeth and scraped together some food for Vice General Luo for emergency.

Xu Lingyue and Ming Yi stayed at the post station in the county seat.

Soon there was commotion outside.

Ouyang quickly went out to have a look, and came back to report: "The people in the city feel that the victims from outside have affected their lives, robbed them of food, left them without food, and are making noise."

Xu Lingyue laughed, "It seems that the water in the southeast is really deep."

The people behind this are also of high rank.

When it is stormy and the levee is about to break, people don't protect the levee.

The people's houses and fields were flooded, and they did not provide disaster relief. They were also forbidden to enter the city and were allowed to be displaced.

As long as there is no starvation everywhere, the small-scale disaster victims will naturally not starve to death, but if they want to eat, they will be reduced to beggars, refugees, and finally...

Xu Lingyue snorted softly, and said to Ming Yi: "That's how the pirates came here."

Ming Yi raised his thick eyebrows, and said in a deep voice, "How dare they?"

Xu Lingyue said: "What are they afraid of? Without their help, how could there be 20 to [-] pirates in Luanping, and how could they have been troubled by Japanese pirates for more than ten or twenty years."

If you want to completely get rid of the cancerous Japanese disease, you can only do it fundamentally.

That is to go to war, use a knife, cut out the heart, and may even bleed like a river.

"Then what do we do now?" Ming Yi looked at her, although he had his own ideas, but no matter what he encountered, he was already used to asking her first.

If she has an idea, then follow her. If she doesn't have an idea, he will suggest it again.

After all, he is just a guard now, and if he wants to marry the princess as Yibin's guard, of course he has to behave well.
