Nongbao is three and a half years old in the famine year, and the whole family is a big villain

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Because apart from this reason, they really can't imagine what kind of things will happen to make the old lady of the General's Mansion and the mistress of the General's Mansion, who have always been pampered, run away from home.

Still in such a time of famine everywhere, leaving the good life of the general's mansion but running away from home.

Seeing that everyone was frowning, Luo Yan said, "Let's not talk about that."

"Second brother, how are the potatoes in the field?"

Speaking of the people's harvest, Luo Yan's eyebrows were filled with joy, "The growth is good, and the harvest will be ready in a month or so."

Everyone laughed when they heard the news.

"There is still more than a month to harvest? In the future, the people of Yong'an City will not have to go hungry."

"Yes!"

Everyone was discussing this matter when suddenly the officers and soldiers from the magistrate's mansion strode in.

The officer and soldier saluted Luo Yan respectfully, "My lord, someone is beating the drums to appeal for grievances!"

The crowd frowned.

Luo Yan couldn't laugh anymore.

Since they came to Yong'an City, all Luo Yan's experience is how to feed the people in the city.

And the people in the city are always thinking about how to get enough to eat.

Until now, this is the first lawsuit he has taken over.

"lead the way!"

Luo Yan straightened his face and walked out after the officers and soldiers.

Everyone looked at each other and followed.

It's just that they didn't appear in the yamen, they just hid behind the screen of the yamen to observe.

As soon as Luo Yan sat down, the military adviser who had been waiting at the side hurried over.

"This is how the same thing?"

Luo Yan frowned and pointed at the two men kneeling under the yamen.

The two men were both bruised and swollen at the moment, and both of them were covered in mud.

In a few words, the military division explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

It turned out that one of the two was a refugee who had fled from another place.

He hadn't eaten for a long time, and it was a coincidence that he happened to come across the field that Lao Tian was tending.

A potato seedling was pulled out directly, and many small potatoes were pulled out in a row.

When Lao Tian found out, almost all the potatoes in his field were gone, so he dragged the refugee to Luo Yan to make decisions.

Lao Tian snotted his nose and burst into tears, "Master Qingtian, you can make the decision for me. I have been planting these potatoes for more than two months, and I will be able to harvest them later. There will be no shortage of food by then."

"Now this bastard has cleaned up all my potatoes, how can you let me live!"

The refugees were dragged to the yamen and their legs were weak, but when they thought that they would starve to death if they didn't eat, they didn't care about being an official or not.

Straightening his neck, he said to Lao Tian, ​​"Now there are no people planting land anywhere, how do I know that what grows in that field is of human race?"

"Besides, I'm just hungry, why don't I have something to eat?"

"If I don't eat that, I'm going to starve to death!"

Lao Tian was so angry that he was trembling all over, pointed at the refugees and said, "Eat as much as you want, why did you pull out all the seedlings!"

The refugee disagreed, "Don't you know what's going on outside now? I finally found something to eat, so of course I have to pull it out and save it for the next meal."

Luo Yan patted Xiangmu heavily.

With a dignified face, "Silence!"

Both of them were ordinary people, so naturally they didn't dare to make any more noise when facing Luo Yan.

Luo Yan also understood.

Looking at the refugees with a frown, he said, "Didn't someone tell you that even refugees are given food by the government to work?"

The refugee shook his head blankly, "My lord, how do I know about this?"

"Besides, I still sneaked in. The refugees in Yong'an City won't let us in."

Luo Yan frowned.

But soon figured out why.

I am afraid that there are more and more refugees from outside, and the food they receive is less.

In this way, they naturally don't want other refugees to enter Yong'an City to share the little food in their hands.

Luo Yan didn't say much about it.

Right now, Yong'an City is in the midst of a waste of time, and the people in the city haven't managed it well, so naturally they don't have more energy to manage the refugees outside.

After everything in Yong'an City stabilized, he would have the energy to take care of the refugees in other places.

Lao Tian lay on the ground and kowtowed to Luo Yan continuously, making a loud bang.

"Master Qingtian, my potato, what should I do with my potato? My whole family depends on this potato for a living!"

"Without potatoes, the government won't give me food. Isn't that going to kill me!"

Luo Yan thought for a moment, looked at the indifferent refugee, "What's your name?"

"My name is Er Gouzi!"

Luo Yan nodded, "Er Gouzi, right? Since ancient times, it's only natural to pay off debts. Since you pulled out his potatoes, you can help him plant them back."

Er Gouzi's expression changed instantly, "Plant it back? I didn't mean it..."

Luo Yan knew what Er Gouzi wanted to say, and continued, "It's okay if you don't plant it."

As soon as Er Gouzi showed a slight smile, Luo Yan continued, "According to Jingguo's laws, you should be hit with [-] boards and sent to prison. You can choose for yourself."

Er Gouzi's expression changed.

Finally lowered his head, "I farm."

Luo Yan nodded.

The old man Tian said, "It's useless for him to plant now. Those potatoes can't be planted anymore. Even if they are planted again now, it's past the season."

"Master Qingtian, will the government give me food without potatoes?"

Old man Tian looked at Luo Yan nervously, this was what he was most concerned about.

"During this period of time, you will go to the fields with the government to inspect the fields, and the government will give you food and monthly money."

He said and looked at Er Gouzi, "As for you, you stay in Yong'an City. If you want to eat, you have to work like a refugee. When will you pay off Old Man Tian's potatoes before you can leave Yong'an City."

"But before that, tell me, since the refugees in Yong'an City won't let you in, where did you enter Yong'an City from?"

Er Gouzi didn't hide anything, he just said it out.

It turned out that Er Gouzi did not enter Yong'an City through the city gate, but came in through a dog hole.

After the lawsuit ended, Luo Yan also fell into deep thought.

Taking one step and watching ten steps, this incident also gave him a warning.

The famine in other places has not yet passed, and there will only be more and more refugees in the future.

If all the refugees are like Er Gouzi, pulling out all the potatoes that the people have worked so hard to plant as soon as they come in, wouldn't it be a catastrophe?

Luo Yan waved to the military division standing beside him.

The military adviser hurried over with a doggy face, "My lord?"

"You find some people among the refugees and let them patrol the city. Once there are refugees or hidden dangers such as dog holes, report them immediately."

"Except for the refugees currently in the city, no refugees are allowed to enter Yong'an City."

Luo Yan said word by word.
