Chapter 340
"Is there a military disaster in this Youzhou city? Why are there all refugees? Did someone rebel and surrounded the city?" Standing on the top of the carriage, Xiao Doudou looked at the distant city wall, wondering.

Li Ke shook his head and said, "Impossible. If there are no wars in winter, and if someone attacks the city, why don't we see military reports along the way?"

Xue Li nodded and said: "It's strange, in normal winter, no matter whether there is food in the house or not, basically they will not go out to flee famine in winter. After all, it is cold and freezing, and they will be frozen to death if they don't go too far. This Youzhou City is What's going on? It looks like there are no fewer than ten thousand victims."

"Hehe, don't guess blindly, you will know if you go to the city and have a look?" Yu Wencheng stretched out his hand and pointed.

But after going through all kinds of hardships and rushing out of the crowd, it was embarrassing when they came to the city. The defenders on the top of the city would not let them enter the city?No one is allowed in.

Xiao Doudou was so angry, he took out the gold medal of Ruzhen's presence with him, and shouted: "Who is the guard of Youzhou City? Let him come out to see the princess immediately."

Li Ke reminded in a low voice: "Cousin, General Chai Shao, the guard of Youzhou City, is our uncle, so don't be rude!"

The guard on the top of the city took a look, but shook his head and refused to recognize him. He declined and said, "Sorry, even if you are really a princess, we dare not open the door. The general has gone back to Chang'an for the New Year, so now I am waiting for my subordinates to guard the city. Outside the city They are all victims of the disaster, if once the city is opened, the victims of the disaster will flood in, and Youzhou City will immediately become a disaster area, will everyone be able to survive the New Year?"

"Bastard! These are my people from the Tang Dynasty. They are suffering from hunger, cold and starvation in the wilderness right now. You wait for the king's salary, but you don't care about it. You don't want to open the city to relieve the victims, but you still think about the New Year? It's unreasonable. !” Li Ke cursed angrily.

The people in the city spread their hands, "They are not my Tang people, they are all Goguryeo people."

"What? Goguryeo people? Nonsense... This place is not less than a thousand miles away from the border. How could the Goguryeo people flee here? You..."

Before Li Ke finished speaking, Xiao Doudou grabbed his clothes and pulled him down, because the shopkeeper accompanying Cui's family who came to help had already asked clearly that they were indeed the people who had escaped from Goguryeo.

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense with him. We want to find a place to settle down. Let's talk about it. Brother Xue, go and find out where there is a clean water source. We will camp nearby, then set up a tent, and prepare to make cold-proof soup. Let's save people." Xiao Doudou is worthy of having fought in wars, at such a young age, he arranges things in an orderly manner.

Looking at this posture, Li Ke said with emotion: "Cousin, if I knew this, why would we still transport herbs? Why not transport the grain directly, the business must be better."

"Food? The third brother is so stupid. These are the victims of the disaster. You expect them to spend money to buy food to save their lives? If they had money, they would not come out to flee the famine. Let's find out first. Are you settling down and settling down? What’s going on here? Find out which link is wrong, and I can’t spare them. They earned my family’s money, but in the end they don’t cooperate with the errands? Then spit out the money for me.” Xiao Doudou said sharply Looking to the northeast.

At night, Xue Li was ordered to take two strange beasts to guard the convoy, and Yu Wencheng took a small pocket. Taking advantage of the night, the two climbed up the city wall with bare hands. They were not discovered by the defenders, and went directly to the Governor's Mansion in Youzhou.

The moment when Ruzhen came to the gold medal in person, Fang Sheng, the governor of Youzhou, who was temporarily guarding the city, broke out in a cold sweat, what was going on in his mind?Did the higher-ups quietly send someone down to visit them privately?
Respectfully and respectfully invited Yu Wencheng and the two of them in, the tea and meals were arranged properly, and then carefully asked about their intentions.

The two of Xiao Doudou got straight to the point and asked about the cause of the disaster victims outside the city. The governor of Youzhou had heard of the name of Princess Ping'an, not to mention the murder god Yuwen Chengdu, who would dare to fool him?It was explained in [-], which roughly means that this batch is all the old, weak, sick and disabled who were deliberately driven by Goguryeo, and they cannot be accommodated.

"Can't accept it? The Qin Palace is short of your money? If I remember correctly, not only the buyer, our Qin Palace will pay for it, even if it is distributed to various places to settle down, the Qin Palace will also pay a symbolic resettlement fee, so as not to let the local people go for nothing. out of wasteland and fertile land." Xiao Doudou asked bluntly.

Seeing the other party's serious face, the governor of Youzhou thought, is this really a child?Why is it so scary?

"Reporting to Your Royal Highness, this is not a matter of money at all. Even if Prince Qin's Mansion doesn't give a symbolic resettlement fee, it's not wrong to let some places provide some land to resettle the population. Most places are short of people to cultivate, and everyone can't wait for more. Many people settled down, so that they can receive food and taxes in the future.

But here lies the problem. Even if we pay for the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, we can feed them for a year, but what about after one year?They are old and weak, unable to cultivate, and cannot bring any tax revenue to the local area, so there is no place to accept them.

As you can see, we are also worried, not that we withhold or not distribute, but that no one wants it. "The governor Fang Sheng cried.

Xiao Doudou was puzzled and asked: "You, Youzhou Prefecture, can't control the place? Who dares to disobey orders?"

"If there is one city and one place, no one would dare to disobey orders, but all the subordinates resist, and we can't do it. The cause of this matter is not us, but the enemy. Goguryeo deliberately used this method to entrap us in Datang, because it saw this malpractice. You want to use this to force us to stop purchasing people, hey..."

With a long sigh, Xiao Doudou basically understood. Knowing the details, he no longer persecuted, and nodded to leave, "Let us go back and discuss this matter, and see if we can come up with a solution. Today, the Japanese princess entered the city and was arrested. Stop it, if you need it in the future, you have to cooperate unconditionally, otherwise this gold medal will not be recognized."

what?
"Which daring lunatic dares to stop Her Highness the little princess? Forgive me, the little princess. The people below didn't report at all, so I'll deal with them right away. Wait a moment, I'll let someone arrange a place for you to stay."

Xiao Doudou waved his hand and said, "No need, we're living outside the city for the time being, and I'll come to you when I have something to do."

After finishing speaking, the two of them left the city in a low-key manner without being escorted off.

Going back to the residence outside the venue and explaining the details, Xiao Doudou looked at Li Ke and said with a smile: "Third brother, before you came, you let go of your bold words and said that you would come out and practice hard. Now that the opportunity has come, can you solve the problems of these victims?" The issue of livelihood is up to you."

"Ah? Little sister, you, you... There are so many people, and I'm here alone?" Li Ke was dumbfounded, "I'm afraid of delaying things."

"Yes, yes, time is tight and you can't delay things. I only give you one night, because the longer you delay, the more people will die of freezing and starving. When it spreads to Goguryeo in the future, they will spread rumors that we abandoned the people who came to Tang Dynasty , from now on no one yearns for Datang, you should be guilty." Xiao Doudou instructed.

Pfft... Li Ke really wanted to vomit blood, he didn't bully people like that.

"Let me think alone, so what do you do?" Li Ke asked.

After waving his hand, Xiao Doudou said with emotion: "I'll summon the shopkeeper of Prince Qin's Mansion here first, I need manpower to do things. Then I have to open a clinic to save people, very busy."

busy?Well, it sure is busy!
