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

In the next few days, Luo Yan often went out to inspect with the officers and soldiers of the county magistrate's mansion.

In just a few days, at least five caves with one person's size have been found in Yong'an City, and refugees who wanted to enter the city have been found at least ten times.

They looked at each one with yellow and muscular faces, and their clothes were in tatters.

But Luo Yan still made up his mind to drive them out with thunder.

All of a sudden, rumors that Luo Yan was so ruthless spread throughout Yong'an City.

Among them, the refugees who had already registered in the city were the most.

Maybe it's because they are refugees themselves, and the people who see the government are somewhat uncomfortable with the inhumanity of other refugees.

It is their business that they don't want other refugees to enter the city for their own livelihood, and they have enough reasons to justify their actions.

But once the people who do the same thing are replaced by people from the government, they can't help but sympathize with those refugees who were brutally locked out of the city gate.

But they are not fools.

Although there is some complaints in my heart, I understand that the government is the one who feeds them.

It is precisely because of this that they did not do anything radical.

Luo Yan himself turned a deaf ear to these rumors.

Luo Jiaojiao and others clearly felt the changes in the attitudes of the common people towards them.

It turned out that when they went out, the common people would greet them friendly when they saw them, with a gentle and friendly attitude.

Now their attitudes have obviously changed, and the eyes that look at them are a little more distant.

Luo Jiaojiao, Luo Yuan and Luo Zhe went out to deliver food to Luo Yan.

They have gradually gotten used to the attitude of the people, and because those people didn't tell them anything openly, they didn't feel any trouble.

At this moment, a woman frowned and grabbed Luo Yuan who was holding a food box.

The woman was disheveled, her clothes were full of holes, and she exuded a stench that made people frown.

Obviously, this was one of the group of refugees who had originally entered the city.

Luo Yuan frowned, "What's the matter with you, old lady?"

The aunt showed a bitter face, and said earnestly, "Are you the brother of County Magistrate Luo?"

"You have to persuade Mr. Luo, he is now the parent official of one party, and those refugees outside the door are also common people, how can he do this?"

"Isn't this killing them?"

Luo Yuan now understands that this aunt is fighting for the refugees outside the city gate.

He looked at the aunt strangely, "Didn't you also prevent those refugees from entering? Why can you do this but my second brother can't?"

The aunt opened her mouth, "How can this be the same? We don't let them in because we don't have food, and the government is different. The government has food."

Luo Yuan didn't want to hear what the aunt said.

He waved at her, "You are really strange, why did you carry someone else's coffin to your own home and cry?"

Hearing this, Luo Jiaojiao almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Don't tell me so much, it's useless." Luo Yuan looked serious, "Now the county magistrate is my second brother, and he can do whatever he wants. It is absolutely impossible to drag my second brother back!"

"What's more, the second brother is the smartest person in our family, he must have his reasons for doing things."

The people around all pricked up their ears to listen to the movement, and seeing Luo Yuan's refusal to enter, they couldn't help but speak.

"These refugees are also human lives!"

"Yes, Master Luo can't do this!"

"Those refugees look so pitiful, they are about to die."

"..."

Luo Yuan was tired of hearing this, and put his hands on his hips, "You can eat enough now, are you all full?"

"If you want to take care of the important affairs of the court, then you should also go to the scientific examination to be the number one scholar and become an official, otherwise don't talk!"

Seeing that Luo Yuan's words were about to arouse public outrage.

Luo Jiaojiao reached out and grabbed Luo Yuan's sleeve, and asked childishly, "Brother, didn't the second brother say that there is no food in the warehouse? Put those refugees in, and the people in the city will have nothing to eat." gone."

Then he turned his head to look at the people around them and said, "But why do they all want those people outside the city gate to come in so much? Do they want to give up their own food to people outside?"

Luo Jiaojiao's voice was not too loud, but everyone around could hear it clearly.

The noisy voice in the air was quiet for a moment.

Then the faces of the people around them suddenly changed, and another voice suddenly appeared in the crowd.

"The refugees who came here are not from Yong'an City. The county magistrate is the county magistrate of Yong'an City. Of course, the people living in Yong'an City should be the main ones."

"Yes, yes, we didn't know that there were other secrets in this matter, and besides, we are stupid and can't understand the county magistrate's thinking."

"The county magistrate must have his reasons for doing this!"

"Yes, those refugees are not from Yong'an City in the first place, so naturally it's not our county magistrate's turn to manage them."

"..."

As they spoke, those people dispersed.

Luo Jiaojiao and Luo Yuan looked at each other, feeling a little helpless in their hearts.

These people belong to the category of mosquitoes who don't know it hurts if they don't bite themselves!

Luo Yan was busy patrolling the city during this time, so naturally he couldn't tell the people in the city, and it wasn't his turn to explain this matter clearly.

The reason why they feel sorry for those refugees is that they have been brainwashed by the mainstream voice in the crowd, and the other is that they feel that this matter will not affect them.

It's just generosity of others.

In the following time, because of Luo Jiaojiao's words, the common people who had sympathy for the refugees instantly stood by the government.

Helping the government to patrol together, occasionally found one or two fish that slipped through the net and reported it very actively.

Because they now know very well that once these refugees enter the city, what they will share will be the rations in their hands.

Everyone in Yong'an City knows what it's like to be hungry. Now that they can eat with great difficulty, no one wants to experience the old hungry days again.

This was a surprise to Luo Yan and the others.

For the next month or so, no refugees came into Yong'an City, and the potatoes in the field grew healthily.

A piece of green color is very gratifying.

It's finally the day of the potato harvest!

The whole Yong'an City was beaming, and what surprised them even more came later.

These potatoes, the harvest of one mu of land has reached a thousand catties, this is something that the people of Yong'an City never dared to think about before.

According to the agreement, they need to give the government [-]% of the harvest, and even if only [-]% is left, it is enough for their family to eat.

What's more, the potatoes can be harvested in only three or four months.
