"We've almost finished looking for everything in the mountains; there's nowhere to eat! Girl, forget it if you don't have anything to eat. Seeing that you're alone, let's go quickly." A young girl, dressed so gorgeously, thinks that her family background is not simple. ; And it is definitely not a good thing for her to be alone among the refugees.
The most elusive thing in the human heart is that some are good and some are bad, some are honest and some are bad.
"Wait for me here." Our Lady of the Fire Spirit turned around and ran away. She waited until they were out of sight before she turned into a escaping light and returned after searching for some wild fruits in the nearby mountains.
She put a lot of wild fruits in the storage bag; fortunately, the storage bag had some free space, which could hold these ordinary fruits.
Returning to the original place, she found that the people who had been around her had returned to where they were before; some were digging at grass roots, some were peeling bark from trees, and they would try their best to hold in their hands whatever they could get into.
People who have experienced hunger will subconsciously hold something in their hands to feel relieved.
Avoiding the crowd, she poured the ordinary fruits out of the storage bag and placed them under the roots of the tree; then she made some noise in this place and hid on one side.
The refugees who heard the noise thought it was wild animals in the mountains. Their minds were already confused because of hunger. Normally, they would have been on alert. Now they ran over in a swarm, only to see that there were no wild animals in the grass under the tree roots. , is a lot of wild fruits.
It was very fresh and there were a lot of fruits, enough for a group of them to have a meal.
Everyone grabbed each one with one hand and devoured it, barely filling their stomachs before anyone reacted.
"Why is there fresh fruit here?"
"That's right! We've searched the surrounding mountains and forests, but there's no fruit left."
"Didn't that girl just ask us to wait for her? Could it be that she picked it?"
"No way? How come she, a delicate girl, has moved back so much?"
"She just left not long ago. Where did you find her?"
Having said this, everyone looked around subconsciously, but could not find the girl in red.
"I have never seen the clothes on that girl, and I have never seen them on nobles; could she not be human? How could a little girl wearing beautiful and luxurious clothes suddenly appear in the woods?"
"It's also possible that the girl's family came to help deliver some fruits, but they don't want us to find out that it was her?"
"Don't think about it, let's talk about it if we have the chance to see that girl again in the future; whether she is a human or a demon, she is a good person if she is willing to give us so much fruit."
A hobbling old man held a few fruits and refused to eat them, but gave them to his grandson. He also blocked everyone's busy discussion. If he continued, the girl might be suspected of being a fairy.
"Yes, uncle is right."
"When you are full, let's share some of the remaining fruits and continue walking. I don't know when we can get to Chaoge. I heard that Chaoge is very good. Only by going there can we, the people in the border vassal states, have a way to survive."
Everyone picked up the remaining fruits and cherished them in their arms. After eating and gaining strength, they left the place.
As soon as they left, Huo Ling appeared; by the way, he sent a message to Donghua that a group of refugees were heading towards Chaoge, asking him to prepare in advance. With this group, there are no refugees from other vassal states. Their goal is Chaoge. In their hearts, only prosperous Chaoge is the place for them to survive.
Donghua saw the message on the jade slip and shook his head helplessly; he went down into the clouds and came to the palace where King Zhou was.
As soon as he appeared, King Zhou noticed it. He raised his eyelids and looked at him. He was stunned for a moment before standing up and said, "Master Shaoyang."
"Just now, the junior sister in the sect has received news that refugees from other vassal states are flocking to Chaoge. Your Majesty, please prepare in advance."
"Refugees?" King Zhou frowned and felt the urge to scratch his head. He resisted and asked in embarrassment: "Does Mr. Shaoyang know how many refugees there are approximately?"
Donghua shook his head.
King Zhou sighed, "Thank you so much, Mr. Shaoyang, for informing me. I will ask you all to get ready."
"Yeah." Donghua disappeared in place, and King Zhou sighed again. The vassal states were also his subjects of the Shang Dynasty. They have come, and they can't be driven away. They should think about how to settle these refugees.
Once a refugee cannot be resettled, other refugees will follow the wind and become a stranger; the only reason is to survive, and he cannot let the refugees become a stranger.
"Come here, tell us that Prime Minister Bigan is entering the palace."
"Yes." The chamberlain turned around and walked away for a long time before bringing over Prime Minister Bigan.
"Your Majesty." Prime Minister Bigan greeted him, "I wonder if your Majesty summoned me suddenly. What's the emergency?"
King Zhou said: "Uncle Wang is here. I have received news that many refugees from the princely states are coming to Chaoge."
"Hiss" Prime Minister Bigan pulled his beard and took a breath of cold breath in pain; but he couldn't care less and asked: "Refugee? Are you sure the king is a refugee?"
"There can be no mistake. The news was given by Mr. Shaoyang."
Prime Minister Bigan said thoughtfully, "That can't be wrong. Now that the refugees have arrived, how will they be settled? One or two thousand refugees is fine, but if there are ten or twenty thousand refugees, we won't be able to settle them."
If we don’t talk about rice and grain, even talking about land is not enough.
"That's why I summoned Uncle Wang to the palace for discussion." King Zhou frowned, "The entry of refugees into the court song is a recognition of the Shang Dynasty. If it cannot be appeased, it will develop in another direction; this is not what I want to see. The people are coming , is a good thing, but too much is an unsolvable problem.”
Dilemma.
"First provide disaster relief, set up porridge sheds, and then register the refugees; disperse them to other places for resettlement, so as to reduce the pressure on Chaoge." Prime Minister Bigan said thoughtfully: "The refugees want stability, as long as they are given If they allocate a place to live, it won't be a problem if they can settle down; the problem is, wouldn't this be done after the vassal states agreed?"
Send the refugees to Chaoge and bring down Chaoge.
King Zhou nodded, "Their actions are indispensable, but the refugees can come because they really care about Chaoge."
Regardless of whether it is a conspiracy by the vassal states or not, these refugees will follow.
"Uncle Wang said that dispersing and relocating people is a good way to reduce the number of vassal states deploying people into Chaoge. Leave this matter to Fei Zhongyouhun, and Uncle Wang will send someone to keep an eye on it." King Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly and said, Remembering that Fei Zhong likes to do whatever he wants, he thought Fei Zhong was a comforting person before.
Looking at it now, it feels so comfortable. It's so comfortable that I almost put down my guard and follow others.
He had to be wary of such a minister; it could only be said that he still did not do well enough, and Fei Zhong and Youhun were also very talkative.
"Yes, I will do it now." Prime Minister Bigan showed a smile when he accepted the order and walked out of the hall. Fei Zhong, Youhun and Fei Zhongyouhun were already treacherous and could no longer stay with the king.
The king could understand and even sent them out. Prime Minister Bigan was very happy. He was still laughing after walking out of the palace, attracting the attention of the chamberlains and the palace people coming and going.
