Datang Fenghua Road

Due to hunger, evil spirits arise.You can kill for a bite of food, and you can work hard for a bit of bark.In ancient times, there was a vocabulary to describe this, such as chaotic people, such as mob, such as evil people...

The eyes of the people were full of green light, and the cooks in charge of preparing the meals did not dare to delay. These cooks with big shoulders and round waists were all selected from the army, and they started to pour porridge with a big spoon.

"Don't worry, everyone has it. Today's porridge is very thick, and one bowl is as good as yesterday's two, and each person can also distribute two rough pancakes..."

The cook kept pouring porridge and shouting, but how could the hungry people take care of this.Everyone squeezed forward frantically, took the hot porridge and drank it on the spot, although it was hot and screaming, they still swallowed hard.

A woman holding a child is very weak, and she can't squeeze the cauldron from behind. The child in her arms keeps coughing, and occasionally makes a faint cry or two. The woman stared at the cauldron with green eyes, and suddenly went crazy. He opened his mouth to bite the person in front of him, and his mouth made a roaring sound like a wild beast.

"Get out of the way, let me eat, let my child eat..." She bit someone fiercely, crazy like a wild beast, and the corners of her mouth were clearly scarlet, which was the blood from the bite of someone else.

In front of her was a burly man, but this guy was only burly, and he was already skinny and weak.

"Ah, ah, courting death..." The man was bitten by the woman, and his natural reaction under severe pain was to turn around and throw a fist.Although he is also very weak, but after all, as a man, this punch is still windy, and if it hits a woman, I may be seriously injured.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out like lightning, and firmly clenched the man's fist.

"It's wrong to hit a woman!"

The person who shot was Han Yue. After he stopped the man, he still had a gentle expression on his face, and softly dissuaded him: "No matter how hard it is to be hungry, you can always endure it. This sister-in-law is obviously crumbling from hunger. As a man, why don't you agree? Let her? I know everyone is hungry, but no matter how hungry you are, you can't forget that you are a person..."

A trace of conscience flashed in the man's eyes, and he suddenly squatted on the ground with his head in his hands.

Han Yue turned his head to look at the woman again, and said again in a warm voice, "sister-in-law, you're not right, look at the big brother who bit him. He's just blocking your way a little bit, there are more people in front of you, don't you think? Do you want to bite all the way through?"

There was also a flash of conscience in the woman's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by hunger. At this moment, she didn't care who was in front of her at all, and rushed up frantically: "Give me something to eat, something to eat, I want to drink porridge, I will. I want porridge..."

In the roar, he suddenly opened his mouth to bite at Han Yue, and his eyes were obviously blood red like a beast.

A few soldiers by the pot were startled, and they raised their swords to hack the woman to death.

Han Yue hurriedly roared and stopped abruptly, shouting: "Continue to maintain order, no one is allowed to come."

Suddenly, his brows wrinkled, and he felt a sharp pain in his wrist. When he lowered his head, he realized that it was a woman who was biting. The woman's mouth was full of blood.

"I'm really hungry..." Han Yue felt a gloom in his heart, and suddenly raised his head and said softly, "Hurry up and throw two pancakes over here, and let this sister-in-law cushion you first."

The cook over there didn't dare to delay, and threw two rough cakes from above the crowd with shaking hands. Han Yue took it over and his heart was darkened again, and found that the cakes were glowing with green color.

This cake was still hot from the pan. Obviously, the green oil was not hairy mildew. The real reason was that there were too many wild vegetables mixed in it, so it covered the yellowish brown color that the food should have.

At this time, a group of people rushed in from a distance, and they were all the generals and civil officials who were constantly patrolling the camp. Lou Chengfeng saw Han Yue's face was gloomy, and couldn't help sighing softly: "Your Highness, don't blame yourself. It is a blessing to be able to have food. The refugee camp has been supplying people for two consecutive months, and the pressure on the fleet to transport food is huge..."

After he said that, he glanced at Han Yue and said again: "Thousands of millions of people eat countless grains every day, but we are proud that no one died of starvation. Only His Royal Highness can do this in the whole world. Is there anyone who can't starve to death?"

Before he could finish speaking, the woman had already rushed towards Han Yue frantically again. She grabbed two pancakes and stuffed them into her mouth regardless.The mouth roared like a beast, like a hungry wolf guarding its own food.

The surrounding soldiers couldn't bear to see it, but they hated that the woman bit Han Yue just now, so although the woman rolled her eyes from the choking on the pancake, no one stepped forward to help her slap her back.

At this moment, the child in the woman's arms suddenly coughed weakly.The woman's crazy eyes suddenly slowed down, and she looked at her child softly.

The next moment, her expression changed to Qingming. She first put the cake into her mouth, then tried to moisten it with her saliva, then leaned down gently, brought her mouth close to the child, and carefully fed it to the child.

Apparently she has no milk due to long-term hunger, so she can only feed the baby with pancakes moistened with saliva.

Looking at this situation, the people around him looked at each other in dismay, but Han Yue's eyes suddenly became bright.

Humanity, he saw humanity.

Chapter 664 Going to the Immortal to Borrow Food

A look of relief appeared on Han Yue's face, and he said in high spirits: "Have you seen it, this is the nature of a mother. Who said that the people could not be saved when they were hungry, and who said that the people were a mob when they were hungry? This king thinks that everyone can be saved. , this king thinks that they are all kind people..."

Speaking of this, he clenched his fists fiercely and said loudly: "All the sins are because of me. If I use three years to slowly wear down Tubo, then such a big loss will never happen. If you act too hastily, you will definitely suffer." A great disaster, but unfortunately I thought too well, or I deliberately chose to ignore it."

Suddenly turning his head to stare at Lou Chengfeng, he asked in a deep voice, "How many days will Jinger's fleet arrive?"

Lou Chengfeng was stunned, and then replied: "From Jianghuai to Bashu, it takes seven days to go downstream and 21 days to go upstream. The last time the fleet transported grain took a total of [-] days. This is already the fastest water transportation in the Tang Dynasty." .”

"21 days, 21 days..." Han Yue murmured, frowning involuntarily.

I was short of food as promised yesterday, and today will be the last meal, but Ren Jing's grain-carrying fleet hasn't come yet, and if it drags on, I'm afraid the people will really be hungry.

Lou Chengfeng obviously knew that Han Yue was worried, thought for a moment and hesitated and said, "Ms. Ren said before she left this time that she will recruit trackers to pull the boat when she returns. When you get to the rapids, pull the boat. Combined with the wind and the oars, the trip will definitely be shortened by several days.”

Han Yue's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "That's good, Jing'er has been away for eighteen days, maybe it's almost here..."

He secretly speculated and calculated in his heart, and then said: "But we can't get too hopeful, we have to save ourselves first. Think of a way, everyone, what will happen to the meal at night?"

As soon as these words were said, the surrounding generals and civil officials were all frowning, because this was not the first time Han Yue had asked, and everyone could think of almost everything.

Lou Chengfeng coughed lightly, and said cautiously: "Since the war started two months ago, the refugee camp has received countless refugees every day. In the first month, the food consumption can be called astonishingly huge. During that period, it can be said that the most Difficult. This month is gradually getting better, because we have begun to arrange refugees. In January, more than 30 people have left the camp and returned to their respective villages to work hard. The pressure on the refugee camp has reduced a lot. Don’t worry too much, Your Highness. Anxious..."

"I didn't ask you to say something nice, I asked you to think about ways to get food." Han Yue suddenly roared, this was the first time he reprimanded Lou Chengfeng.

Lou Chengfeng bowed his hands helplessly and silently chose to keep his mouth shut.

Han Yue stared at him coldly, and said again: "Is there a way?"

Lou Chengfeng let out a wry smile and shook his head at Han Yue.Today, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the refugee camp, and they eat countless grains in one meal.He is just a literati who reads, how can he get food.

Han Yue took a deep breath, turned his head to look at the other subordinates, and asked one by one, "What about you, what about you, what about you? Who can help?"

The generals dodged, and the civil servants bowed their heads in embarrassment.Obviously everyone is the same, and no one can get food.

"Go away for this king, don't get in my eyes!" Han Yue shouted again, and suddenly kicked and kicked, "No one is allowed to eat tonight, all give me an empty stomach and starve, The people have no food to eat, so why do you eat?"

In the past two months, his temper has become very irritable, and he will find someone to show his anger at every turn.

It was Liu Heishi who was kicked away by him. It seemed that Han Yue only kicked him one at a time. The guy opened his mouth and rubbed his buttocks. He said pitifully, "My lord, I really have no choice. All of the prey was shot, and not even a bird's egg could be taken out. Last night, the special guard even set out for a hundred miles away, and came back this morning with only a little meat..."

After speaking, he glanced at Han Yue pitifully again, and said, "After all, the army also has to eat, so they can't hunt without strength."

Han Yue waved his hand and signaled Liu Heishi to stop talking.In fact, he understands the situation better than everyone else. This time the difficulties cannot be solved by ordinary people.

At this time, the surrounding people were still scrambling to get close to the cauldron, and those who were full went to their wooden huts with a numb expression.Everyone who saw this scene felt numb in their scalps, and felt a faint chill in their hearts.

No gratitude, no thanks, it seems that the refugee camp should feed them, and it seems that these refugees should be fed.

"Don't blame them..." Han Yue slowly exhaled and said softly: "If people have no hope, everything will naturally rest. The people don't even dare to think about whether they will have food tomorrow, how can they have a good life? Thoughts? They're all counting the days, and the pain has already numbed them."

He stopped here for a while, and leaned down to look at the woman, who was already feeding the baby, and he was crouching on the ground to eat.Just now, a soldier squeezed over to the big country pot and gave her a bowl of hot porridge. The woman was crying while drinking it.

"His Royal Highness..." She suddenly raised her head to look at Han Yue, tears welling up in her eyes, and she cried: "I just went crazy with hunger, and I can't control the evil in my heart."

There is a sense of knowledge in these words. Ordinary folk peasant women must not be able to say elegant words.Han Yue was stunned for a moment, and murmured, "Have you read books?"
