Chapter 548
The busy time passed quickly and it was already the end of October. Not only Cao Shi and the others were preparing for the winter, but even the people outside the mountain were doing the same.Because of a series of reasons such as wars, banditry, plagues, natural disasters, etc., each village can be said to be empty, and those who can escape in order to survive have already fled.The three relatively prosperous Yongcheng, Yuzhou, and Qingcheng have more and more refugees crowded outside the city gates every day. In order to enter the city and survive, they have tried their best. Three major wars have broken out. up.

Among the three cities, Yuzhou is relatively better than the other two cities, because Yuzhou is willing to accept refugees. Although it only accepts 100 people a day, this is indeed the hope for the refugees to survive, and the people in the government do not ignore those people. Refugees, people in the government will give porridge outside every day. Although the bowl of porridge is not enough at all, the refugees have something to look forward to.It is precisely because of this series of measures that more and more refugees are flocking outside Yuzhou City. Now those dignitaries in Yuzhou City dare not leave the city easily, for fear of some accidents. There was a strong wind, and the crops that should have been harvested were almost lost. This made the dignitaries and nobles in Yuzhou feel extremely distressed. This grain is more precious than gold. What they lost was not grain at all but gold. It is human life, not to mention the hungry victims outside the city, even many people in Yuzhou City are also hungry. Although they are not full, they can survive anyway. This is because there is a virtuous king here, and the governance is better. As for The other two cities simply cannot compare with them.

When everyone was hungry, everyone's eyes slowly shifted to the Shiwanda Mountain. Everyone knew that the Shiwanda Mountain was a sweet pastry. It's so oily, but they also know how fierce the mountain people inside are. It's not easy to occupy the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Everyone is waiting, waiting for who can't help but be the first to attack the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Yuzhou City is very close to the Shiwanda Mountain, and it only takes half a month to go back and forth quickly. Therefore, since October, the victims outside the city saw some sergeants from Yuzhou City leave together in a group of more than a dozen people. Wherever they went, some smart disaster victims followed them secretly, but unfortunately they were quickly abandoned by them.

It's already the end of October and it's getting colder and colder. Yuzhou Chengnei Xianwang Mansion, Xianwang Li Xu is discussing with the officials of Yuzhou City about resettling the victims. Since Xianwang came to Yuzhou City, with the support of the general, Yuzhou It was quickly in his hands, and no one dared to disobey the orders he issued.

"Your Highness, there are more and more disaster victims outside our city. Given the current situation in Yuzhou City, it is difficult to feed so many victims. Besides, there is not much food in our official treasury, so the only ones who clear porridge every day It can last for another month." Wang Kou, an official in charge of the government, could kill mosquitoes by frowning when he mentioned food.

"The rich people in the city are still unwilling to provide food?" Li Xu asked with a serious face after hearing what he said.

At this time, another official stood up; "The ministers who should be said have already said that they would not hand over the grain even if it was borrowed."

After hearing this, Li Xu stood up angrily; "Then kill the chickens to scare the monkeys and force them to hand over the food."

"Yes!"

Several officials looked at each other and felt a little sad. This order means that many people will die, and it is extremely detrimental to the stability of Yuzhou, but there is no other way now.

After the officials left, Li Xu covered his forehead with some headaches.

"Your Highness, don't worry, Zhou Hu and the others have already gone to Shiwan Dashan. I believe they will never let us down."

Li Xu raised his head after hearing this; "I hope so!"

Zhou Hu is his last hope.
