I'm dead in all worlds

Chapter 460 Uncle, are you a fairy?

Facing Wang Han who brought food, the city gate was quickly opened. A group of soldiers with swords maintained the order of the city gate, prohibited refugees from entering the city, and put Wang Han in the city.

"The three of them are following me, let them also enter the city." Looking at the soldiers who were about to stop the couple, Wang Han said.

Hearing this, the soldiers maintaining order at the city gate immediately put the three of them into the city.

"My next guest, Guo Xi, may I ask where is the food now?" Just after entering the city, the general who was on the gate tower before couldn't wait to run down and asked Wang Han.

"Take me to the granary first?" Wang Han said.

"Okay." Hearing this, Guo Xi gritted his teeth and said, feeling a little apprehensive.He also knows that there is a serious famine here, and there are famines and droughts everywhere, not to mention the edible food, even the inedible bark and grass leaves are almost eaten, especially those near the border and the battlefield. This is especially true in places where the imperial court fought wars to requisition food, and the Manchus plundered (not only the Ming Dynasty was famine, but even the Manchus were short of food. For famine, you can refer to the certificate of voting.), these places also bear the brunt.Although the imperial government’s relief food has arrived, it is limited compared to the extensive disaster areas. After all, the famine and drought are not limited to this area, and there are many other disasters in different situations across the country, and the imperial court does not have so much food.The relief food this time must be distributed according to the disaster situation in various places. If there are more disaster-affected places, or some special places have more, the army will definitely take some of it.So now he is anxious in his heart, and he only hopes to be able to distribute more food, and he will persist for a longer time.

After winking at his lieutenant general, Guo Xi said to Wang Han with a smile on his face: "My lord, I have prepared a feast of bouillon, with musicians singing and dancing, and I invite you to enjoy the feast at night."

Wang Hanzai took a careful look at Guo Xi and said, "What is this for?"

Hearing this, Guo Xi didn't hide anything, and said directly: "Judging from how many children you can adopt, you must be a kind-hearted person. You have also seen the situation in Xiangyang. It is really difficult, so I invite you to go back. When distributing the food, you can say a few bitter words for the people of Xiangyang, because there is really not much food in Xiangyang."

"..." Hearing this, Wang Han was silent for a while and said: "You can rest assured that the food I sent this time is enough, but you will need to maintain law and order, General, so that no troubles will occur, especially those merchants and Other officials, don't let them make up their minds about this."

This general is also a person who understands the world and knows the current situation of the court.Otherwise, he would not have not only treated Wang Han with courtesy, but also called Wang Han his lord when Wang Han did not show any documents and did not know Wang Han's identity and position.As long as Wang Han can really bring food, even if Wang Han is just a soldier, he will recognize him even if he is not a soldier.

"My lord, please don't worry about this." Hearing this, Guo Xi was overjoyed, and immediately patted his chest and said: "Whoever dares to stretch out his hand randomly, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Not long after they left together, Guo Xi brought Wang Han to the granary. When he opened the granary, it could be said that it was empty, but the granary was cleaned cleanly.Walking into the granary, in the huge granary, there are only a few gray sacks filled with rice piled up in the corner, and the total number is probably only two to three hundred bags.Compared with the huge food and grass, it can only be regarded as a small corner.

"Is it the same for other granaries?" Wang Han asked. In fact, Wang Han had scanned it with a radar hanger before, and most of the other granaries were empty. The few that still had food were also like this. There were only two to three hundred bags. food, and even less.The grain in the granary in Xiangyang is only a little more than 10 bags at most, but how many people and refugees there are in Xiangyang, counting [-] people, even if the grain is boiled into clear water porridge, it will only be enough for more than ten days.Of course, if you add the stored grain of those merchants and officials, the quantity will be doubled, or even a little more.Some people also have some stored food in their homes, but definitely not much.It is also because the city guard of Xiangyang is still a good person, otherwise, in this situation, I am afraid that he would turn a blind eye to the refugees outside, let alone serve some gruel.

"To tell you the truth, my lord, the other granaries are almost empty now, and the total amount of all the grain is less than [-] catties." Hearing this, Guo Xi said bitterly.

"One hundred thousand catties, feeds tens of thousands of people. If calculated according to fullness, one day or even one meal is not enough to eat. It is indeed very little." Wang Han nodded, walked to the corner where the grain was piled up, and pointed at the knife. Swipe at the sack.

"Sha la la." The yellow rice was mixed with sand, and the sand leaked out of the grain bag in a rattling manner.The reason why the granary is so clean is because the grain scattered on the ground has been swept up and collected.

Seeing that Wang Han could easily cut the sack open with his hands, Guo Xi couldn't help being a little surprised.

Glancing at the grain that had leaked out mixed with sand, Wang Han cut open a sack again, and the situation was the same.Opened another bag, same thing.

Guo Xi didn't stop Wang Han, and let Wang Han see this to know more about the extent of the food shortage in Xiangyang.

"Oh!" Wang Han sighed.Picking up a plump grain on the ground, he wiped off the husk with two fingers lightly, and then spread the white rice grains in the palm of his hand.

"Double..."

In Guoxi, in a refugee family of three, under the stunned eyes of Sanxiao, the white grains of rice in Wang Han's palms seemed to magically change from a grain of rice to a fountain in the blink of an eye, falling down like a fountain. on the ground.Then, like a well blowing out, Wang Han turned his palm sideways and aimed at the surrounding area of ​​the granary.Soon, the surrounding area was piled up to a height of more than one meter, and it was still getting higher rapidly.

"The rice is white rice. Xiangyang is saved." Guo Xi didn't care about being surprised, and immediately bent down and grabbed a handful, dancing excitedly.

"Arrange people to pack the rice first, and then I will fill up the other warehouses. In addition, I have something for you to do." Wang Han said, and walked out of the warehouse.

"Yes, my lord." Hearing this, Guo Xi immediately responded loudly, and then kicked his stunned lieutenant, ordering: "An Fu, take your lord to rest immediately, don't be negligent."

"Yes." The lieutenant general responded immediately.

"Uncle, was it a magic spell just now? Are you a god sent by heaven to save people?" Wang Yan asked Wang Han with eyes full of stars.

"Hahaha..." Hearing this, Wang Han laughed loudly, and then said to Wang Yan, "You think it is. Whether it is a god or something else depends on your own opinion."

"I think uncle is a god." Wang Yan said firmly.

"Immortal." Others looked at Wang Han with a look of conviction. Even if they are not immortals, they are still masters of magic. To them, they are no different from immortals.

(Emperors in the late Ming Dynasty had a deep belief in Taoism, such as Chongzhen's nonsense stele, such as Emperor Jiajing.)
