I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

When Lin Yiran heard Old Madam Xiao mention the national treasury, she lowered her eyes and slightly pulled the corners of her lips.

There are no national treasury granaries in the capital.

Glancing at the food piled up like several mountains in the space, Lin Yiran felt very guilty at this moment.

The rice, flour, oil and grain from the two mountains were exchanged for her previous assets, and they were all refined rice and flour.

There are also four large mountains of food, which come from the granaries of the royal family and ministers in the capital.

The national treasury was empty at that time, and Emperor Wu of Liang had no time to care about the lives of the people.

He needs to collect food to feed the army.

hiss~

Isn't this just perfect? ​​Emperor Wu of Liang has no money and food to support the army, but she has money and food.

Is it possible...

"Oh, the dog emperor is so incompetent that he doesn't care about the lives of the people." The eldest sister-in-law sneered and hated Emperor Wu of Liang to death in her heart.

Why didn’t I see that Emperor Wu of Liang was so foolish before? He became so arrogant after only being emperor for a few years?

The third sister-in-law looked at the people who were as thin as sticks and crying together, and tears fell down her face.

When a tyrant is in power, the people suffer.

Xiao Yunzhan frowned slightly, feeling very confused.

Based on his understanding of Emperor Wu of Liang, it was impossible for him to be so stupid.

They were afraid that the military officers would become more powerful than their masters, so confiscating their property and exiling them was already immoral enough. How could they do such a thing that would lose the support of the people when there were sufficient granaries?

Suddenly he thought of the scene when Lin Yiran came out of the palace holding the imperial seal, and his eyes flashed slightly.

Could it be that she not only stole the imperial seal, but also stole the granary and the national treasury? Otherwise, Emperor Wu of Liang would not have been so cruel.

Also, when they were in the mountains before, after coming out of the royal cemetery, Lin Yiran suddenly went out quietly in the middle of the night.

Could it be that she emptied the royal cemetery as well?

Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Yunzhan's pupils shrank in shock, and he couldn't help but look back at Lin Yiran behind him.

This fairy is really brave. No wonder the food he ate tasted like the imperial kitchen several times.

When Emperor Wu of Liang was trying to win him over, he often summoned him to the palace to have meals together, and he was very familiar with the taste.

"Isn't he a tyrant?"

Zhu Changshou said angrily that at this moment he no longer cared whether it was treason or not.

The dog emperor doesn't care about the lives of the people, so can't they just curse him a few words?

Zhu Changshou was delighted to hear that the immortal also looked down upon the tyrant, and continued to speak:

"What the Immortal doesn't know is that all the wealthy merchants in the city are in collusion with the government."

"Those merchants and dignitaries are very cunning. As soon as the drought shows signs, the price of grain starts to rise. Merchants also buy large quantities of grain from the people, and then sell some at a higher price when the drought becomes serious.

"The grain prices in various cities are ridiculously high now. One tael of silver can only buy one pound of coarse grain. The food that the people spend all their money to buy is not enough to eat for a few days. Those officials and merchants don't care about the lives of the people. They just make money from the disaster..."

Zhu Changshou's mouth was dry as he spoke, and he swallowed hard, his pupils filled with pain and sorrow, and he choked and said,

"The people knelt at the city gates, begging the officials to open the granaries and release grain to help the victims. However, the corrupt officials were only concerned about their own interests and were completely indifferent..."

"Zhujia Village is located on a plain. The land is parched by the sun. People who have nothing to eat or drink cannot just wait to die in the village. If they really cannot survive, who would be willing to leave their hometown?"

"We heard that there are mountains to the south, and there will always be food in the mountains, so we think we can survive..."

"I just didn't expect this journey to be so difficult. If we hadn't met the immortal, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to hold on..."

As soon as Zhu Changshou finished speaking, all the villagers following him kowtowed and begged.

"Woooooo~~"

"Please, immortal, save the common people..."

........

Zhu Changshou's tearful narration made all the women in the Xiao family's eyes red and their throats were so tight that they could not speak.

There is indeed an immortal here, and that is Lin Yiran, but none of them want to reveal Lin Yiran’s secret.

People’s hearts are unpredictable!

In times of disaster, the people would be grateful to Lin Yiran for helping them and call her an immortal.

If she survives the disaster safely, some people will become jealous of Lin Yiran's extraordinary abilities, and might even call her a witch.

Xiao Yunzhan didn't know what Lin Yiran's plan was after taking over the national treasury's granary.

Although he felt pity for these people, he could not make a decision for Lin Yiran.

Lin Yiran sighed in her heart, her eyes falling on several children in the crowd.

The skinny children had sunken cheeks, tears in their eyes, and were chewing dry yellow bark in their mouths.

The children's faces were covered with dust and their original features could no longer be seen.

His eyes were wide open, looking at them expectantly.

There was no color on the children's lips, their hair was tangled and matted, and their clothes were tattered...

Lin Yiran looked at the silent Xiao family members and cleared her throat.

"The immortal has mercy on you and has given you a pot of porridge. You all have bowls, right? Line up and get yours."

The refugees have been hungry for too long, their gastrointestinal functions are not good, and they are thirsty, so drinking white porridge is appropriate.

When everyone in the Xiao family heard this, they all turned to look at Lin Yiran, and then turned their heads away tacitly, deliberately giving Lin Yiran a chance to cast a spell.

When Lin Yiran opened the lid of the clay pot, she used the lid to cover it and quickly filled the pot with porridge.

There was limited ready-made porridge in the space, and even if all the porridge cooked by civil and military officials in the capital were gathered together, it would only be barely enough for these people to drink.

After all, not every family makes porridge. Some families make meat porridge. Having two kinds of porridge in one pot can easily make people feel unbalanced. They are satisfied with just plain porridge.

Well, let’s distribute food in the future.

But it’s not a problem if they don’t have water to cook the food.

Suddenly, Lin Yiran had an idea.

When the people of Zhujia Village heard this, they burst into tears of excitement and kowtowed to express their gratitude.

"Thank you----thank you immortal for the white porridge......"

"Thank you...Thank you, Immortal..."

"........"

The villagers of Zhujia Village were not yet starving to death. They all listened to Lin Yiran's words and lined up in the order of the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled.

Those who fled famine all brought ceramic bowls with them.

While waiting in line, they all took out a dirty ceramic bowl from their pockets.

He tilted his head and looked at Lin Yiran in the car pocket with anticipation.

When they saw spoonfuls of steaming porridge being poured into the bowls, they couldn't help swallowing.

The people queuing at the back took a few deep breaths of the fragrant porridge and their stomachs rumbled.

In order to prevent any cunning people from causing trouble, Xiao Yunzhan stood beside the team with a sword in hand to intimidate everyone.
