Chapter 171 Thousands of people escort

General Li hurriedly stepped forward and explained, "Fourth Prince, these stinky brats eat too greasy on weekdays. Recently, there was some food accumulation. I asked someone to cook porridge for their stomach and intestines. You should go back and have a meal soon. I will have to go back and have a meal later.

It's time to go."

As he said, General Li's stomach rang out of place.

Cui Yuexi showed heartache on her face, and looked at the people present, and a thin mist surged in her eyes.

"The soldiers who defend their country will eat this. If they catch up with the war, will they all go to war with their legs weak?"

Li Jing angrily threw the spoon back to the wooden barrel and questioned General Li coldly.

Everyone in the dining room knelt down and asked Li Jing with their fists.

"Fourth Prince, this matter is not General Li's fault. We are mostly people in Jiangbei or around us. Our family is in trouble. We cannot go to help. We just want to have some food left and can protect the elders in our hometown. We are considering

Buzhou, I hope you don’t blame General Li.”

Everyone stood on the side of General Li. Li Jing looked at their loyal appearance and sighed helplessly, turned to look at General Li.

"General, I thought of a way to control locusts, but it requires a lot of people. They care about their families. It would be better to leave with us today and go to Jiangbei to help. The military camp does not have much food, so I will leave some for you.

But in a few days, his eyes were dark, and he obviously didn't sleep well, his mouth was covered with blisters, and he lost a lot of weight.

The group traveled overnight and soon arrived in Jiangbei. The village house near Jiangbei was also eaten by locusts and had nothing.

Everyone exclaimed, as if one word woke up the dreamer.

The war not only cost the people and the money, but also made the treasury of the Yuan Dynasty not so full. In addition, the floods last year have exhausted all the food in the treasury, and now I can't even take out the food to raise food and disaster relief.

Liu Yanbo had long heard that Li Jing and Cui Yuexi were coming, so he hurriedly came over. When he saw Cui Yuexi, he felt uncovered.

"You said, your child, why are you here for? Wouldn't you be well staying at home?"

"Use fire, the locust wings are thin, and it's just a bit like the fire." Cui Yuexi thought of a solution before coming, and after she said it, Li Jing coincided with her.

Everything was almost like a thank you. General Li smiled heartily, "It's all for the people, why are you polite?"

Liu Yanbo patted General Li on the shoulder gratefully, "Thank you."

Everyone cheered, but Li Jing did not go back to the room to have a sumptuous breakfast, but pulled Cui Yuexi to sit down in the empty seat. General Li was a little frightened.

General Li looked at him calmly, not as arrogant as other princes at all, and sat down opposite the two with a cheerful smile.

The most important thing right now is how to get rid of locusts and cut off the harm from the root.

Li Jing nodded, "Now our food is enough for Jiangbei to support for two days. As long as there is food at this time, the people naturally don't want to leave their hometowns. When Mr. Li and Mr. Yun come over to support him, it will be no problem."

General Li looked at Li Jing, "The Fourth Prince asked me to bring people here, maybe it was for this."

Li Jing walked along the way and distributed grain all the way. When they met Liu Yanbo, there was almost no grain left on the car.

The group entered the yard, and Liu Yanbo told everyone about the situation again, and he sighed helplessly.

The Liu family has the habit of storing grain, so they can always be prepared for some storage in times of peace.

"Since the fourth prince has a way to control locusts, he has passed our military orders, leaving a few people in the army to guard the army, and the rest follow me to Jiangbei."

Although the Yuan Dynasty seemed peaceful, the world was not unified. Occasionally, foreign enemies would invade, and wars would occur for a long time.

The Liu family has warehouses for garrisons across the country, and they all provide support here. As long as they survive, they will solve the problem of food and clothing for the people after the Liu family's grain is transported.

"Locusts fly on their wings. If we break their wings and they cannot fly, we will be considered protecting the remaining food."

"Fourth Prince, Miss Cui, you'd better go back and eat."

If it weren't for the locust plague this year, Jiangbei, with good weather, would have been a good harvest year.

After everyone ate some food, General Li made arrangements and took more than a thousand people toward Jiangbei.

Everyone was waiting patiently for Li Jing's answer, and Cui Yuexi smiled indifferently.

As soldiers who defend their country, you must not be hungry in any case.”

The more people walked, the more desperate they became. The lush wheat fields were only desolate and bare. This was the first time Cui Yuexi saw such a desolate scene, and his heart was heartbroken.

Li Jing did not expect the team to grow suddenly, but this would be better, and the grain could be transported to Jiangbei more smoothly.

He dared not delay, and every second he delayed was the food for the people to save their lives.

After Liu Yanbo hurriedly said goodbye, he ordered people to beat drums and notify the people.

Li Jing ordered people to leave some food for them to support the reinforcements and left.

"The locust plague came suddenly, and it has caused great losses. Jiangbei has lost two-thirds of its food. If the locusts are allowed to eat it, there will probably be a lot of refugees entering Kyoto, and there will be many elderly and weak people.

The people can't stand this winter at all."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, "Is the Fourth Prince able to do it?"

After Li Jing finished speaking, the soldiers immediately became lively.

After Liu Yanbo came, he not only comforted the victims, but also stared at the speed of locusts spreading.

Li Jing saw everyone's embarrassment and coughed lightly, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Although Liu Yanbo knew that it was a bit whimsical to save food, he had no choice but to lose his head.

Li Jing spoke in a deep voice, "It's okay, it's hard for people who defend their country to fill their stomachs. How can I, an idle person, eat that big fish and meat? Today's porridge is good. General Li might as well drink a few more bowls with me."

"Does the Fourth Prince have a strategy?"

Liu Yanbo also knew the reason why Li Jing would definitely not come here in person if Cui Yuexi didn't come.

"Fourth Prince, you and Miss Cui are here to stay. I will wait for someone to help."

Many people who fled along the way rushed over to snatch the food when they saw them coming, but were stopped by the army.

"General, we will only want to follow the Fourth Prince to Jiangbei." One person spoke and the others raised their hands after rushing to each other, fearing that they would be left in the military camp after they finished speaking.

General Li looked at everyone's excited appearance and waved his hand to signal them to be quiet.

When the people heard that as long as they followed the people's arrangements, no one would have two bowls of porridge and a pancake to eat every day, they hurried over.

Nothing is more important than life and death.

In addition to the food disaster in Jiangbei, other products are still abundant, and there is a copper uranium mine nearby.

Liu Yanbo asked everyone to make simple torches and wrap himself tightly to burn the locusts.
