Refugees entering Beijing

Even more happy were King Jin and Yan San, who originally thought they only had a few thousand stones.

If they save a little, they should be able to weather the difficulties.

They never expected that Lu Yaoyao would actually have more than 20,000 stones in his hand, which was far beyond their expectations.

With these 20,000 shi of food, their brothers no longer have to worry about going hungry.

"Guard Yan, go find Lao Kang outside the city and ask him to transfer you 20,000 shi."

Yan San nodded quickly and then looked at King Jin.

"Go ahead."

When Yan San retreated, King Jin turned to look at Lu Yaoyao.

"Xiang Jun is really my king's lucky star. I will never thank you for your kindness. If you can be of use to me in the future, just ask."

Lu Yaoyao just smiled. Although King Jin had no choice but to date, he himself was in a lot of trouble.

She was happy to go to him for ordinary little things. After all, the interactions between friends were about you coming and going, so the friendship could last long.

But she still wouldn't go to him for big things.

Just like when the Lu family was slandered, she never considered recruiting King Jin to help.

Suddenly, she thought of something, her eyes fell on Prince Jin, and she silently scanned in her heart.

The next moment, all the information about King Jin's past appeared in front of her eyes. The sight of it made her break out in cold sweat.

He didn't even have time to take a closer look, so he quickly turned off the message screen and took a deep look at Prince Jin with lingering fear.

She never dreamed that his past would hide such a shocking secret.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing the change in her gaze, Prince Jin was a little confused.

"It's okay. If your Highness is okay, I will leave first."

I'm sorry, this guy is so scary.

But we can't continue to get closer to him. If this thing is messed up, someone will die.

"Oh, it's okay. If Mr. Xiang has something to do, you can go and do it first."

As soon as King Jin finished speaking, Lu Yaoyao stood up, turned around and left the box as if running away.

Such behavior made King Jin even more confused, and he touched his face with some suspicion.

"What's wrong with her?"

"Is this king so scary?"

After leaving Baizhen Tower, Lu Yaoyao quickly returned to his mansion, his expression changing constantly along the way.

Even shopkeeper Zhou and other people in the house greeted her, but she ignored them.

It wasn't until she returned to Fulinyuan that she breathed a deep sigh of relief. Qiu Yu, who was following her, was also very confused.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, it's okay."

Lu Yaoyao waved his hands repeatedly and quickly adjusted the light screen. The messages from King Jin just now were still there.

After checking all the way, she gasped repeatedly.

"No, this guy is too dangerous. You can't get too close to him in the future."

Turning off the light curtain, she frowned and warned herself over and over again.

Although she knew that Prince Jin might cause trouble in the past, she never imagined that there were so many unknown and shocking secrets hidden in it.

"Miss."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Lu Yaoyao turned to look at Qiu Yu with a puzzled expression.

"There's something wrong with you. Just now you..."

"Don't ask around. Remember, it's nothing. Yes, it's nothing."

She waved her hands to fan herself and continued, "It's getting hot now. Go to the kitchen and get some cold drinks."

Qiu Yu nodded, even though she was still a little strange, she didn't think much about it.

After enjoying the cold drinks, the sweltering atmosphere was slightly relieved.

In the next few days, the weather got hotter and hotter, and Lu Yaoyao almost didn't go out.

However, she still pays attention to outside news every day.

First of all, the situation of all parties involved in this severe drought is very serious, especially in the north. Currently, there are 20,000 to 30,000 refugees gathered outside the capital.

Secondly, regarding the matter of food, twenty thousand shi of the more than 20,000 shi were allocated to the King of Jin and sold at the original price. All the money spent earlier was returned to his hands.

Originally, Lao Kang did not plan to continue purchasing grain. After all, the price of grain has now reached seven times its original value, and even continues to soar.

They themselves are not short of food. If they buy it at this time, they will suffer a huge loss.

However, Lu Yaoyao had no intention of stopping. She gave an order to Lao Kang. As long as the price is less than ten times, she can buy as much as she wants. It doesn't matter even if she spends all the more than 100,000 yuan.

The current fire has just started to burn. Although it has the potential to start a prairie fire, the speed is still slower.

Isn't it just to spend some money? As long as it can achieve the effect she wants, let alone hundreds of thousands taels, even a million taels, she will not frown.

"There are many refugees outside the city now. How is the situation in our village?"

"Lao Kang has been sending people over these days to deliver news. The news came early this morning. There are many refugees gathered outside Zhuangzi, but there are many people in our village, so don't worry for the time being."

"There are about 20,000 to 30,000 people outside the city now, right? What's the situation at the court?"

Lu Yaoyao asked with a frown.

Her village is not far from the capital. Although the village has considerable power, there are also many refugees outside the city.

If they are really hungry, these refugees can do anything.

"The imperial court gives out porridge and medicine every day, but the effect is not very significant, and there is news that more and more refugees are coming to the capital."

"Furthermore, I heard that in the north, there are many people dying of hunger along the way. It's very miserable."

When Qiu Shuang said this, a look of unbearable expression appeared on her face, and Qiu Yu beside her had also been in a very low mood recently.

"Miss, they are really pitiful, can you help them?"

Qiu Yu suddenly spoke.

Lu Yaoyao turned to look at her. She had noticed the changes in this girl's mood in recent days.

I also know why she is like this.

Qiu Yu was born in a farm family. Although she is a girl, her parents and brothers are very kind to her, so life is not difficult for her.

It was also because of a famine that the family was in trouble, and both parents and brothers died because of the famine.

She was still very young at that time and was caught by some refugees and sold to Renyazi.

After wandering for a long time, I finally arrived at Lu Yaoyao's side.

The severe drought this time was more serious than what she had encountered before. The day before yesterday, she asked Qiu Yu to go outside the city. After returning, her mood was not quite right.

"Miss."

"OK."

Seeing Qiu Yuna's pleading expression, Lu Yaoyao felt soft in her heart.

Although she didn't go outside the city to see it, she could get a glimpse of it from the descriptions of Qiu Yu and Qiu Shuang.

"Well, you go outside the city and tell Lao Kang to recruit people at the gate of Zhuangzi."

"It takes a thousand years."

“Then prioritize”

"Forget it, I'll go there myself."

Her farm needs major construction and manpower. The people on the farm alone are definitely not enough, and they will have to recruit people sooner or later.

Since there are so many refugees outside now, it's time to recruit them to work and give them food rations and money. We can help as much as we can.
