In front of the porridge shop.

The officials with big spoons in their hands yelled loudly, trying their best to maintain the order of the victims receiving porridge and stabilize the hearts of the victims in Xiazhou.

"My son-in-law is sympathetic to us, I am very grateful, thank you, my son-in-law, thank you Lord Liu..."

"Thank you son-in-law..."

"Thank you, Lord Liu..."

The victims held hot porridge in their hands, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Even this little hot porridge is still not enough to eat.

But they still shouted the names of Qin Mu and Liu Zhenghui one by one.

Qin Mu stood in the distance.

Seeing everything in his eyes, he nodded slightly.

in fact.

These victims are easily satisfied, as long as they can have something to eat and not be starved to death, and some clothes to not freeze to death.

They will be grateful to those in power.

As long as they are given the hope of continuing to live.

But to Qin Mu, this is the sorrow of the Tang Dynasty and the shame of the court.

Those in power should never have allowed these simple people to suffer like this.

Liu Zhenghui was also excited when he saw the people drinking porridge.

As expected, as long as the consort takes action, there will be nothing that cannot be resolved.

Liu Zhenghui looked up at the time and said with a smile, "Master Consort, it's already noon, and it's time for us to eat."

Qin Mu said yes lightly, and then walked towards the porridge shop outside the city.

"Hey, my son-in-law, where are you going?" Liu Zhenghui was stunned for a moment, and asked after walking a few steps.

Qin Mu nodded slightly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Didn't Master Liu say it's time for lunch?"

Liu Zhenghui was startled, and said, "But this is the direction to go outside the city."

"Exactly." Qin Mu said softly without stopping.

When the words fell, Liu Zhenghui seemed to lose his mind for a moment, and stood there with a dull expression.

half an hour.

"Why, I can't wait to drink this porridge?" Qin Mu's voice fell into Liu Zhenghui's ears.

"Drink well..." Liu Zhenghui finally came back to his senses at this time, and trotted a few steps to keep up, "My son-in-law, please wait for the old minister."

The people who settled outside Xiazhou City were sipping hot porridge with peace of mind.

Therefore, Qin Mu and Liu Zhenghui were not found approaching.

Qin Mu walked to the porridge stall, took a bowl from the side, and said calmly, "Give me a bowl too."

Seeing Qin Mu, the porridge official looked hesitant and said, "My son-in-law, these are all for the victims of the disaster. You are a noble son-in-law, but a lowly one..."

"It doesn't matter." Qin Mu didn't care, "You can just serve it up. If the people drink porridge, I can drink it too."

Liu Zhenghui also raised a bowl and walked up to him: "Give it to me as well. I have an unshirkable responsibility for today's disaster in Xiazhou, and I should share the suffering with the people."

The official nodded repeatedly, full of admiration in his heart, and quickly served two bowls of hot porridge to Qin Mu and Liu Zhenghui.

It's porridge, it's better to say it's soup, and there's not much rice in one of the bowls, but it's better than drinking water.

And it's not that Qin Mu and others are reluctant to give more rice grains to the victims.

It is true that there is not much storage left in the granary.

They still have to rely on this little surplus food until the relief food in Chang'an City runs out.

Instead of going from luxury to frugality, it is better to go from frugality to luxury.

"Master son-in-law, now that the city is open for porridge, the people of Xiazhou City can still fill their stomachs, but just in case..." Liu Zheng stopped talking.

Qin Mu raised his eyebrows lightly, and asked with a smile, "Why, what's wrong?"

"What if Your Majesty refuses to allow the victims to move to the grasslands?" Liu Zhenghui bravely spoke out.

Qin Mu clicked his tongue lightly when he heard the words, and said calmly: "Your Majesty is a holy king in the world, and he loves the people like a son, how could he disagree?"

"Yes." Liu Zhenghui pursed his lips tightly and nodded in response.

Qin Mu saw that he was amused, and said softly: "Master Liu, instead of worrying about this, why not think about how His Majesty will punish you for offending you."

Liu Zhenghui looked weary for a moment, and heaved a long sigh helplessly.

He needs to bear the main responsibility for this matter. No matter how he argues, he is responsible for most of the disaster victims in Xiazhou City, and he cannot shirk it.

In this way, for half a month, Qin Mu ate a pot of porridge with everyone every day, but he barely survived.

Finally, people from Chang'an City came.

"My son-in-law, Duke Lu and Duke E are coming today." Xue Rengui led the army one step ahead and returned to Xiazhou City ahead of schedule.

Qin Mu nodded slightly, but found it interesting.

Li Er actually sent the Second General Hum Ha over here, so the journey would save him a lot of boredom.

When Liu Zhenghui heard Xue Rengui's message, he knew that relief food was coming, and he immediately became excited: "Okay, okay, two princes have come here, and the people of Xiazhou are finally saved."

In less than half a day, a loud voice attracted everyone's attention.

"Hahaha, my son-in-law, my old Cheng and Yuchi are here too!" Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong rode at the front on a tall horse.

He also led a large number of craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry and a large number of relief food behind him, escorted by a team of government soldiers.

"My son-in-law, following His Majesty's will, the two of us are here to assist my son-in-law to build villages and towns for the disaster victims in Xiazhou on Wudejian Mountain." Yu Chigong slightly cupped his hands and said loudly.

"Your Majesty also asked me to lead the people of Xiazhou to develop animal husbandry, and at the same time reclaim land in Wudejian Mountain and grow potatoes." Cheng Yaojin added.

Qin Mu nodded slightly, and said in response, "Then there will be two dukes on the way."

Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong hurriedly said: "My son-in-law is too polite."

After Liu Zhenghui heard the news.

Then he ran over immediately, with a hurried expression, extremely surprised.

"Liu Zhenghui, I have met Lu Guogong and E Guogong." Liu Zhenghui looked respectful, but couldn't hide his inner excitement.

However, Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong didn't give Liu Zhenghui a good look, they just responded lightly.

As the governor of Xiazhou, he caused disaster victims everywhere in Xiazhou, and the court had never been able to find out, which made them quite dissatisfied.

Don't look at the carelessness of the two, it is also very principled.

Liu Zhenghui didn't care, and smiled happily from the sidelines.

Qin Mu said: "Master Liu, you should distribute the relief food as soon as possible, and tell the disaster victims in Xiazhou that if they want to move north with me, they will be escorted by the imperial court, and their livelihood will be found by then."

"Yes, yes, my son-in-law, the old minister will go right away, right away." Liu Zhenghui responded quickly.

Soon the victims received a notice from the government.

As long as they are willing to move north with the son-in-law, the imperial court will provide dry food for everyone and help build houses.

Those who want to farm will provide seeds and assist in reclaiming farmland. If they want to raise livestock, the imperial court will also provide cattle and sheep.

When the victims heard the news, they were overjoyed and expressed their willingness to go with Qin Mu.

Everyone can trust the character of the son-in-law.

Chapter 265: Arrive at the destination. (2/4)

Rest for three days.

The northbound team set off.

This group of people is quite a battle.

Headed by Qin Mu, Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong.

Just talking about the identities of Qin Mu and the three of them, the accompanying guards and troops along the way are indispensable.

What's more, there are a large number of craftsmen and Xiazhou disaster victims behind him, and there are even more government soldiers on both sides of the team.

This is also Li Er's sympathy for the common people.

In order to take care of the people in the team, Qin Mu slowed down on purpose.

Although the journey is tiring, there is nothing else to do.

For Qin Mu, it was rather leisurely, let alone with Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong by his side.

The crowd marched for nearly half a month.

There is an army escort along the way, without any surprises or dangers.

However, when the marching team reached the hinterland of the grassland.

The scouts who went to explore the road hurried back on horseback.

"Is there a situation ahead? Why are you in such a panic?" Qin Mu asked the scouts, frowning slightly.

The scout hurriedly got off his horse and panted, "Report to the son-in-law, two princes, I found a Turkic cavalry not far ahead, and I came here to report."

"What!" Cheng Yaojin was taken aback, "Why are there Turkic people? Didn't Li Xiaogong drive the Eastern Turks to extinction?"

Yu Chigong snorted softly, with murderous intent in his eyes: "Hmph, these Turkic people came just in time, I haven't killed Turkic people for a long time."

"Do you know how many people there are and what kind of equipment they have?" Qin Mu raised his brows lightly and asked aloud.

The scout thought for a while, then said: "Go back to the son-in-law, I will see that their equipment is shabby, and the number of them is probably less than a thousand."

Qin Mu nodded, now he thought of the origin of this group of Turks.

months ago.

Li Xiaogong led his army to the grassland and personally led [-] Qingqi to defeat Ashinadu.

The Turkic army was defeated and fled everywhere.

Although Li Xiaogong tried his best to eradicate it, he still failed to kill it.

It was escaped by some fish that slipped through the net.

It is estimated that this is one of the few remaining Eastern Turks.

at the same time.

Not only Qin Mu and others discovered this Turkic army, they also discovered the large army led by Qin Mu.

It is really that this team is too large, the personnel are loose, and they carry a lot of food.

It's a big piece of fat for them.

"General, the team of the Tang people is ahead. We can have another fun before withdrawing to Tiele territory, hahaha."

The lieutenant couldn't stop laughing.

So what if they lost to Tang Jun.

When encountering such a weak Tang team, it's better to let them be slaughtered.

It is best to torture all these Tang people to death, just to show the anger of being defeated by the Tang army.

The Turkic general Ashina asked with a sinister smile on his face: "Hahaha, then let our warriors get ready. We will rob them of food, kill all men, and kidnap women. For our Turkic warriors who died, Revenge and revenge!"

"Yes!" The lieutenant general responded, gathering his troops and rushing towards Qin Mu's team.

At this time, Qin Mu, Cheng Yaojin and others were also gathering troops.

"My son-in-law, the two princes."

"The Turkic stragglers have rushed over." The scout came back again and said hastily.

Cheng Yaojin stood up suddenly, picked up his gossip Xuanhua axe, and got on the horse: "This group of beasts, my old Cheng hasn't looked for them yet, I didn't expect to find them myself, grandpa must feed them I am the taste of Xuanhua axe!"

Not to be outdone, Yu Chigong picked up a short whip to summon the army, and eagerly said: "My son-in-law, wait a moment, he will come as soon as he goes."
