Runaway Mengfei is not easy to mess with

Chapter 370

Sensing Chu Tianmu's questioning eyes, Liu Mingshan smiled bitterly: "There are too many refugees, so I have to borrow the tables and chairs from the yamen."

Chu Tianmu was silent for a while, then patted Liu Mingshan on the shoulder: "Well done!"

Liu Mingshan's eyes turned red, and he turned his head away: "I don't dare to take this compliment!"

A group of people entered the lobby in silence, Chu Tianmu and Xilinglan sat at the head, and the rest stood.

Chu Tianmu didn't talk nonsense, the situation is so severe, solving the problem is the best policy, and asked straightforwardly: "How long can Yingcheng's food and grass last?"

When the prefect Liu Mingshan heard the fourth prince asking this, he was really full of bitterness. From the lack of relief supplies in the capital, to the refugees disturbing the law and order, to the severe situation in Yingcheng, it was really bitter tears!
It's just that the fourth prince only asked how many days the food and grass can last for a few days. I'm afraid he knew it long ago, so he didn't talk nonsense, and simply replied: "Yingcheng doesn't have much food in the first place. It has consumed a lot in the past half month. Now, outside the city Thousands of victims flooded in. At this rate, if the capital does not allocate relief supplies, it will not last for ten days. At that time, Yingcheng may also be destroyed and become another disaster area."

Chu Tianmu frowned. He didn't expect that Yingcheng's food and grass could only last for such a short period of time. "Then can it be temporarily transported from Jincheng?"

Liu Mingshan smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, you don't know. Now there are 10,000+ Fenghe residents scattered all over the country. As long as there are a little affluent towns, there will be refugees. Food and grass are scarce everywhere. Fenghe is the main food of my Chu Feng. The production area, now the Fenghe River is flooded, the grain harvest is out of order, and everyone is in a hurry, not only my Yingcheng, Jincheng, but also several towns near Kyoto, are almost all surrounded by refugees."

Xiling Lan always felt that something was wrong, so she simply asked: "According to the usual practice, shouldn't the refugees from the disaster area go to the Jiangnan generation? Why do the people from Fenghe only come all the way to Kyoto?"

With a flash in Chu Tianmu's eyes, he turned his head and glanced at the hidden guard behind him, who disappeared quietly.

Liu Mingshan is also puzzled: "The lower officials are also very surprised. In the past, when disasters happened, the refugees would go to the nearby towns or to the rich places in the south of the Yangtze River. This way, they are not far from home, and when the relief supplies arrive , and can get rescue in time. But this year, for some reason, half of the refugees have come to the capital, maybe it is because of the severe disaster in Wind River this year!"

Seeing that Chu Tianmu had basically understood the situation, it was meaningless to stay longer, he had better go back to the capital as soon as possible, got up to leave, but was held back by Xilinglan.

Chu Tianmu glanced at Xilinglan in surprise, "What's the matter?"

Xilinglan stood up and looked at Liu Mingshan: "When I first entered Yingcheng, I realized that there are too many disaster victims in Yingcheng, and the living conditions are too bad. It is really not a long-term solution..."

Liu Mingshan didn't figure out who the woman next to the fourth prince was for a while, but he heard her tone seemed to be reproachful, and he felt a little dissatisfied in his heart. However, people who can be magistrates are more tactful. Although they have opinions in their hearts, they don't show it on the surface.

A small official behind Liu Mingshan couldn't bear it any longer, and stepped forward to interrupt Xilinglan's words: "It's just a female class, but the generation of Israelites dares to criticize important military and state affairs, who gave you the guts, oh- -" Without saying a word, he was kicked by Ding Si and flew to the door of the lobby, where two hidden guards rushed out and held down the little official firmly.
