Chapter 970

The death of the second prince made the atmosphere in Tianqing darker, and the lives of the refugees became even more miserable.

Because of the loss of his beloved son, Emperor Chu was even more unwilling to go to court, and allowed things to develop and worsen. He didn't listen to what the outside world said, and spent his days in "sorrow" in the bedroom with the beauty in his arms.

The displaced people wept bitterly, suffering unbearable pain, and there were even those who starved to death on the side of the road.

However, in such a big environment, there are still people who help the common people in private.

Guard Lin Awang and the others obeyed Ji Chengxuan's order, and sneaked into the refugee group from various places. After they got to know each other well, they knew that they were ordinary people, so they distributed dry food and took these nowhere to go secretly to the Chuangu area.

The Chuangu area is very large. Although a lot of wasteland has been reclaimed in recent years, there are still many places that have not been reclaimed and can accommodate many more people.

Guard Lin and Awang secretly brought tens of thousands of refugees to Chuangu, and then closed the roads around Chuangu again, turning Chuangu into an unborn paradise.

It is not a small number for Chuangu to accommodate tens of thousands of refugees, but compared to the refugees accommodated here in Dingbei, it is only a drop in the ocean.

Although there are rumors that the king of Zhenbei is unwilling to take in refugees, there are still many refugees who come to Dingbei, as many as 10.

Ji Chengxuan was also very surprised by the influx of such a huge population, because he did not expect that there would be so many refugees, and one could imagine the impact of this locust disaster.

The pressure on Dingbei can be imagined, both King Zhennan and King Zhenxi wanted to see Ji Chengxuan's jokes, especially King Zhennan who bought Ji Chengxuan's old grain at a high price, he wanted to see how much grain Ji Chengxuan still had in hand and how long he could last!

However, at this time, the King of Hedong announced to the outside world that a piece of fertile land was specially approved by the boundary of Hedong to support the refugees. Anyone who is willing to go to Hedong can come to Hedong.

Compared with Ji Chengxuan, the king of Zhenbei, the reputation of the King of Hedong is not bad at all, so after his order came out, many refugees who didn't know where to go gathered towards Hedong.

"That's all for Ji Chengxuan, why is Gu Zhihan joining in the fun? There are so many refugees, is he crazy?" Yu Wenji couldn't help but ask after hearing the news.

The staff said: "My lord, the king of Zhenbei and the king of Hedong are probably robbing people!"

"Stealing people?" Yu Wenji frowned, "Snatching these refugees? What's the use of them?"

"The lord must not underestimate the refugees. If they live and work in peace and contentment, how much tax can they collect every year? With these taxes, how many more soldiers can the lord raise? In the long run, there are talents in the fief who have soldiers and horses. The King of Hedong is probably aware of this!" said the staff member.

Yu Wenji gritted his teeth when he thought of Ji Chengxuan attracting the [-] refugees in the past, "My king said how they are so kind and spend so much effort to accommodate so many refugees!"

"My lord, it's not too late. Let's open up a piece of land in Huainan to accommodate the refugees, right?" the staff said.

Of course, Yu Wenji didn't hesitate any longer, and issued an order directly, and also announced to the outside world that Huainan had also opened up a piece of fertile land, which was specially used to resettle refugees from all over the place.

Zhu He, King of Zhenxi, was the last to hear about it, "Are they all insane?"

That's the way it is said, but since the King of Hedong and the King of Zhennan both did it, he did it too, even if they don't know their motives.
