Supernatural Rebirth: Farming and Raising a Husband

Chapter 347 The Refugees Are Here
"If you eat poisonous potatoes, you will get sick in a few hours." Gu Yao explained to Gu Tianqing, "burning and itching in the mouth, photophobia, headache, dizziness, fever, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, Tinnitus, etc."

"Further exacerbation may cause blood pressure drop, irritability, convulsions, dyspnea, coma, mydriasis, etc., anyway, it is very serious."

Gu Tianqing took a deep breath and said, "Then Yaoer, can't these potatoes be planted on a large scale?"

"No!" Gu Yao smiled and said, "As long as you cook and eat it before sprouting, you won't be poisoned, or you can save the sprouted potatoes as seeds."

"After all, potatoes are also a good food!" After a pause, he said, "The capital city belongs to the north, so it should be possible to grow potatoes."

"Father, when the time comes, I will give you the methods of growing wheat, corn and potatoes, and you can take them back to see if they are useful." Gu Yao said with a smile.

Gu Tianqing looked at the warmth in Gu Yao's eyes, "Okay."

After arriving at the county seat, Gu Yao followed Gu Tianqing to live in the county government office, and returned home after saying goodbye to Gu Tianqing early the next morning.

Since Gu Tianqing and Eunuch Li can be seen walking around at home these few days, everyone is still a little unaccustomed to the absence of these two people for a while!
Yi Jiang saw Gu Yao's loss, walked to her side and comforted her: "Yao'er, if you miss him, we can go to the capital to live for a while."

Gu Yao shook her head, "No need, Dad, it will be fine in two days."

"Really?" Yi Jiang was still a little worried.

Gu Yao nodded and smiled at Yi Jiang, "Daddy, I'm really fine, but my father was always by my side before, and I'm not used to him being away for a while, and I'll be fine in a couple of days."

Seeing this, Yi Jiang didn't say anything anymore, but just touched her head lovingly, then sat on the side and chatted with her.

In the county seat at this time, a few days after Gu Tianqing left, something happened.

"My lord is not well, the refugees are here, my lord, my lord!" A yamen servant ran in in a panic and bumped his head on Liu Cheng's body.

"What does it look like in a panic?" Liu Cheng supported the servant who was about to fall, "You just said that the refugees have come and entered the city?"

The yamen servant shook his head, "No, but it's coming soon. According to the villagers entering the city, what they saw on the road, they will arrive at the gate of the city with about one stick of incense left."

As soon as Liu Cheng heard it, he was about to run into the house, but before he entered, the door opened, "My lord."

"Well, I heard it all." Shangguan Xuan looked at the yamen servant, "Send down the order to prevent the refugees from entering the city, and then bring all the doctors in the city to the city gate. I will come later."

"Yes." After hearing that, the yamen servant hurried away.

Liu Cheng was puzzled, "My lord, why did you send the doctor there?"

Shangguanxuan sighed, "Liu Cheng, it is impossible for me to lock those refugees out of the city gate. They all came to our side because they had no food to eat."

"We can't leave them alone!" After a pause, "I sent the doctor there, mainly to check whether they have any infectious diseases."

"If there is no disease, it is not impossible to let them enter the city, but in this way, the defense work in the city must be done properly."

"After all, we can't ignore other people in the city just because the other party is a refugee."

Liu Cheng nodded. Indeed, although those refugees were not from their own county, they were still human lives. If they died of starvation outside the city, it would be the negligence of their duty.

Shangguan Xuan took a deep breath and said, "Let's go, let's go to the gate of the city to have a look."

"Okay, my lord." Liu Cheng said.

At the gate of the city at this moment, it was chaos!

Fortunately, Shangguanxuan had anticipated such a situation, recruited many people, and set up checkpoints at the gate of the city, and immediately let the people of the county into the city.

But those refugees are really terrifying!

Because I haven't had enough food for a long time, and because I have traveled for such a long time, all of them are dressed in rags, with yellow and emaciated faces.

"Guys, please let us into the city!"

"We are about to starve to death, let us in!"

"You dog officials, dog officials, let us in, let us in."

"I beg you to save my child, he is going to starve to death, let us in!"

When Shangguanxuan arrived, besides the people from the county government, other people in the city gate spontaneously prevented the refugees from entering the city:

"You all go, go, we don't have anything to eat here."

"That is, we are going to starve to death, and those unscrupulous merchants have bought up our food."

"What are you doing, what are you doing, go out, let us go out."

"Die, if I let you in, what will my wife and children eat, go, go, go."

"My lord, be careful." Liu Chenghu was by Shangguanxuan's side, afraid that those refugees would rush in and hurt him.

Shangguanxuan looked at those refugees with some distress, especially those children, who were as thin as a bamboo pole, the kind that would collapse when the wind blows.

He took a few steps forward, took the big wooden horn from a yamen servant, and said to the refugees: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet."

Sure enough, the loud voice is attractive, coupled with Shangguanxuan's official uniform, it immediately attracted the attention of those refugees:
"It's a dog official. It really is a dog official. He looks like a human being, but he has a black heart inside."

"Dog officer, it's you dog officials who made us like this, dog officer."

"Let us in, let us in."

For a moment, those refugees were all very excited. As for the others, they complained about Shangguanxuan's appearance, but they were glad that the other party finally came.

Shangguanxuan looked at the excited refugees, and continued, "I know you want to come in, and I can let you in, but you must cooperate with us."

"To put it bluntly, to the people of our county, you are outsiders, and we don't welcome them. However, everyone is a citizen of the same country, and they are all human beings."

"Looking at you like this, everyone is heartbroken and wants to help, but the strength of a person is countless, not endless."

"So, we still need everyone to cooperate with us." Shangguanxuan said such a long paragraph all of a sudden, his throat felt a little uncomfortable, he coughed lightly, and then continued.

"I have prepared a doctor for everyone. Anyone who is healthy and has no disease, I can let you in, but after you come in, everyone must obey the arrangement."

"If not, even if you starve to death outside, I will not let you in." When the last sentence fell, Shangguanxuan looked at the refugees with warning and killing intent in his eyes.

Those refugees were intimidated by the murderous intent in Shangguan Xuan's tone and the aura on his body, coupled with the meaning in the other party's words, for a while, the voices among the refugees gradually became quieter.

As for the people in the county, when they heard that the refugees were going to be let in, their expressions were different, and the voice of discussion gradually became louder.

"My lord, you really want to let them in!"

"That's right, they are refugees. I heard that many people died because of refugees coming in in many places. Those refugees are simply robbers!"

"Where do refugees come in and live! Could it be that they live on the street? Then how do we do business!"

Shangguanxuan stretched out his hand to press down, and then said: "Don't worry, everyone, it is inevitable to let them in, as for the food." Looking at the refugees behind him, "They have hands and feet, can't they still work? "

"They are not from our place in the first place. After the west side recovers, will they still stay here?" The west side must not give up.

After the artificial rainfall is produced, these people must be sent back to the west. It doesn't matter if they are ruthless or sentient, they must be let in.

After all, some of the people in the city were going out of the city, so it was not a big deal to have such a group of people at the gate.

At this time Liu Cheng came over, "My lord, the doctors are here." He said, pointing in a direction, there were more than a dozen people standing there.

"En." Shangguanxuan nodded, "Go and bring them here." Then he turned around and said to the refugees, "Everyone back off, if you want to come in, check first, and if you don't want to check, then don't come in."

After saying this, those refugees looked at me and I looked at you, and then slowly backed away. They definitely wanted to enter the city.

After all, there is nothing outside the city, only in the city can there be a glimmer of life.

But they didn't expect that after finally getting here, the defense would be so strict.

"My lord." The doctors came over, greeted Shangguanxuan, and then, under the leadership of Liu Cheng and guarded by the Yachai, began to examine the refugees.

Shangguanxuan saw that the inspection was going on in an orderly manner, and then began to arrange for the refugees entering the city. Every refugee was registered and recorded, so that all the people entering the city could be seen at a glance.

Seeing that Shangguanxuan had considered everything carefully, the people of Ling County felt relieved and began to help the county government to maintain order at the scene.

Shangguanxuan said to the refugees who were registering: "Your residences are available. I will have someone take you there later. As for your food."

"The county government is responsible for your food for three days. After three days, you need to solve it yourself. It's still the same sentence. You have hands and feet. You can't die from starvation alone."

Those refugees were all very grateful to Shangguanxuan. If life was so difficult, who would want to be a refugee?

The order at the gate of the city slowly returned to calm, and Shangguanxuan also let people leave a passage for those people who were going home, and let them go.

At the same time, the opening and closing times of the previous city gates were restored.

Shangguanxuan glanced at the endless refugee crowd, frowned, and called Liu Cheng, saying, "Go find someone to get some materials to build a shed for these refugees."

It would be bad if someone got heatstroke while queuing.

Liu Cheng took a look at the refugees and said, "Okay, my lord." Then he asked a few people around for help.
