"Well, there are not many people here who are suffering from hysteria due to cold and hunger. It's just one more person or less person. It's just that he can still wake up a little bit from time to time."
The patrolling guard sighed. After all, he has seen a lot as he gets older. Some things may become numb after seeing them too much...
When there was a commotion here, the guard over there had already trotted back, but there was no quilt in his hand.
"Um, second uncle, there are no more quilts in the workshop... Yes, yes, the lady is here..."
Not only did he come alone, but a graceful figure followed behind him.
It was Kong Lingyue who brought his maid~
"Greetings, miss!"
The steward quickly saluted. The person who was responsible for the order of the victims in Sijiao Mountain was the person sent by the Confucius Mansion.
Tang Sufan took the initiative to wave hello.
"Lingyue, why are you here?"
After not seeing each other for two days, Kong Lingyue's face, as clear as jade, looked obviously a little more haggard.
It seems that she has been very busy these days.
"I happened to be about to go home and ask grandpa to help me find some food. I happened to meet my guard and informed him of your name, sir, so I came here to have a look. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be here later and my journey will be in vain~"
Although he couldn't hide the tiredness on his face, he was still so charming and elegant.
Hearing the conversation between these two people, the steward felt a little resentful. Sure enough, the young man and the young lady knew each other.
It looks like...
Tsk tsk tsk~
Lingyue, good fellow, there seem to be few young men in the entire capital who can call their own lady Lingyue?
Could it be that the royal family member was playing a game of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?
"Does Young Master Tang need a quilt?"
Afterwards, Tang Sufan and Kong Lingyue had to talk about it. Kong Lingyue said slightly awkwardly: "Mr. Tang, there really are not many beddings in the workshop. The ones that can be used have been given to the refugees who have been brought back into the workshop. It’s even worse, I’m still trying to figure it out..."
Tang Sufan frowned and nodded: "That's it..."
Then he turned to Liu Xiao and said, "Liu Xiao, go to the car and get my dry fur blanket~"
Now that I’ve said it, I’ll find a way to fulfill this kindness, but all I can find now is the blanket in my car.
Liu Xiao glanced at the refugees around the shack, and his expression visibly paused.
Finally, he nodded and followed Tang Sufan's words.
"Okay, sir..."
"Miss, please chat, I'll take my leave now..."
After Kong Lingyue nodded, she followed Tang Sufan to the other side.
"Lingyue, is there a shortage of food now?"
"It's very scarce. At present, we can only provide the needs inside the workshop, and we can only eat one meal a day, so we can't give out porridge outside, so I'm thinking of ways to let grandpa go there again. Come forward and look around to see if you can find a batch of food..."
"Otherwise, there are so many refugees outside this village, and I don't know how many will starve to death..."
Kong Lingyue glanced at the refugees everywhere worriedly, with unbearable eyes.
She had lived in fine clothes since she was a child, and she had really seen countless hungry people in the world in the past few days. Every day when she lay on her bed, her mind would be filled with those eyes full of despair and numbness.
This is definitely a big mental blow to a lady who is determined to do something practical for the people...
"Come forward again?"
Tang Sufan frowned and grasped the point.
"With Lao Kong's reputation, can't we find a batch of grain in Chang'an City?"
There was a trace of embarrassment on Kong Lingyue's face, and she could only bow her head slightly.
"Before, the price of food in Chang'an was very high, and people were panicked. After all, I didn't know whether the price of food would rise again, so now everywhere in Chang'an City, food is as rare as gold. Grandpa came forward to find some people, but he could find There are not many..."
Tang Sufan touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment. After all, he was largely responsible for the previous surge in food prices in Chang'an City.
But he didn't expect that he wouldn't be able to get food now with Kong Yingda's golden name.
"Have you calculated the approximate number of workers in the workshop now?"
Kong Lingyue thought for a while and then said: "There are currently 2,735 refugees who have been given priority to be taken back inside the workshop, and outside the workshop..."
"What happened outside the workshop?"
"There are probably more than 18,000 people outside the square now, including women, children and the elderly..."
The number Kong Lingyue mentioned made Tang Sufan stunned——
It had only been two or three days, but already nearly 20,000 people had gathered!
Is this emperor under his feet going to rebel or something?
Tang Sufan even had the bitter thought of running away for a moment. This was not a job done by a human being. He was being taken advantage of!
Listening to a series of numbers, Tang Sufan couldn't help but rub his eyebrows again.
The situation was much more serious than he imagined!
Because of the previous wave of food prices, now even if you have money, you can't find food, and even a pile of money is useless.
unless--
I am now willing to buy grain at a high price.
Tang Sufan couldn't help but feel a pain in his forehead when he thought of this. He had previously used his own tricks to raise the price of food in Chang'an so high.
The dog emperor Li Er found food to provide relief to other states and counties, but who would have thought that his house would be stolen directly now!
And he has to pay for the consequences!
His grandma, when she thinks about buying grain at a high price, it’s really God’s will to reincarnate, no one will be spared!
"Now... let's go find as much food as we can first. I'll hurry up and think of something. It's been a long time, and there might be some trouble outside... Where is Mr. Kong? Can you still find food?"
The flint has already fallen on the instep, I can't wait any longer.
"This... Grandpa has also approached some major grain merchants in Chang'an City before, but they all excused themselves by saying that the grain was insufficient. They said they could sell small batches to us, but when the quantities were large, they refused to say anything..."
Tang Sufan closed his eyes and exhaled. It was clear that someone was behind this.
A scholar's attitude, a group of merchants and grain merchants, these grain merchants are not fools, this is already an obvious stumbling block, no need to think about which aristocratic families they are bastards.
As long as the workshop collapses, this group of refugees will really starve to death in Chang'an City, where food prices are as high as gold!
When the time comes and things happen, the family will definitely use the topic to their advantage. It will be up to them whether they kick or step on them...
It's his grandma's fault. Wait until I calm down and see if I cheat you. That's it.
If I can’t trick you, I’ll write my name backwards!
Tang Sufan cursed the aristocratic family in his heart, and even dissed his cheap father-in-law.
Will this dog emperor ever be the emperor?
Your future son-in-law will be deceived by others until all the warehouses containing money are empty!
While complaining in his heart, a soft smile appeared on his face: "It's okay. Lingyue has been working hard these days. Just support yourself for the past two days. I will find a way later..."
fine?
But that's 20,000 people, so even Mr. Tang must be in a very difficult situation...
Kong Lingyue really couldn't tell that nothing was wrong, but she could only do her best and nodded with a smile.
"OK."
"By the way, Lingyue, here are some ways to manage this group of refugees. You can watch it first, and then I will take care of the food issue!"
After Tang Sufan finished speaking, he handed over the pieces of paper he had been holding.
Kong Lingyue took it over and took a quick look. Instead of the expected admiration, she curled her beautiful eyebrows.
