The leader of the Hu Cheng Army was named Jin Wei. When he heard that the Gu Lin family was leaving the city to provide disaster relief, he not only personally escorted everyone out of the city, set up a place to hold the pot, but also sent a team of soldiers to protect them.
Lin Siyuan and Bai Yiran arranged for their servants and soldiers to set up tents, set up pots and light fires, while Gu Yichen and Lin Jinyun took the remaining soldiers, led by the city guards, to fetch water from the water source.
After the shed was set up, Li Ru listened to Lin Jinyan's instructions and hung the banner with the name of Tai Feng Grain Company on the scaffold.
As soon as the pots were set up, many refugees looked over here. When the steaming porridge was almost ready, the city guards shouted that they could also queue up to get the porridge here, and the refugees came in droves.
Lin Siyuan called several children into the shed and stood in front of them. The servants, government soldiers and city guards stood in front of the pot, shouting that they had to line up well to get food, otherwise they would be driven away.
Under the military pressure of the city guards, the refugees gradually formed a formation in front of each pot. After the porridge was cooked, they began to divide the porridge in an orderly manner.
Lin Jinyan, Lin Wanrong, and Lin Jinan were young and could not do anything else but help distribute bowls to the refugees.
Looking at the refugees with sallow faces and thin muscles, most of whom were already struggling just to stand, and some children younger than herself were crying from hunger, Lin Jinyan felt shaken for the first time.
Is what I did right or wrong? If they had spoken out before the locust plague started and prepared countermeasures early, these people might not be like this...
But if you tell me, who would believe it...
It was busy until noon, and everyone was eating the same porridge as the refugees on the tables and chairs set up under the shed. Although they were tired, they felt full.
Lin Jinyun's arms were sore after serving porridge all morning. Although he was touched by seeing so many refugees, he still felt that it was too hard. He wanted to exchange errands with Li Ru who was recording. Lin Jinyan winked at Li Ru when he heard that, and Li Ru received Later, he declined Lin Jinyun.
They were busy until sunset, and after cooking all the food they had brought, everyone returned to the city with more than a dozen empty carriages.
After entering the city, everyone was exhausted after a long day, and their hearts were depressed because of the refugees. They all lowered their heads and said nothing, and the carriage seemed extremely dull.
After a long time, Agate sighed: "I only knew that the refugees were pitiful before, but now I see how pitiful they are."
This was the first time for Lin Jinyan to see refugees. Although he had known about it for a long time, it was not as shocking as seeing it with his own eyes.
"Yes, there are so many people homeless, with no clothes or food to eat. When I heard the numbers, I just knew there were many people. Only when I saw it with my own eyes did I know there were so many..."
Bai Zhi: "Miss, you must be exhausted after running all day today. You can rest at the house tomorrow. We can just follow the master."
Lin Jinyan shook her head: "Although I can't help, it's good to try my best. It's better than sighing in the house."
For three days in a row, everyone went out early and returned late, rain or shine. Jin Wei ordered the city gate officers to let the Gu and Lin families go in and out without blocking them.
Originally, there was only one big pot in front of each queue, and you had to wait for the next pot after cooking. However, it has become easier in the past two days. I just put three pots on each place to cook something that can be eaten at any time.
Zhou Yuexue, who was in the mansion because she was weak, felt extremely uncomfortable when she heard her servants praising the Lin family for their charity in giving porridge. She also heard that Bai Yiran and Gu Yichen were also there, so she immediately felt better and asked for help. The old lady stayed for half a day, and the next day she went to give porridge with everyone.
