Although Wang was skinny and looked a little scary, she was generous and according to her description, she was used to doing housework at home. Lin Jiuxi asked her to work with the cook.

As for her daughter, she was only two or three years old and couldn't leave her mother. Naturally, there was nothing for her to do, so Lin Jiuxi asked her to take good care of her daughter and not let her get hurt in the kitchen.

It was just a simple reminder, but it moved Wang to the point of almost crying.

Lin Jiuxi didn't dare to say anything more, and used that excuse to run out.

As it was getting dark, and she was a woman all alone, it was not convenient for her to go to the places where the poor people were staying to ask.

But money makes the world go round, and she is very rich now.

With a full wallet, you will be more confident in doing things.

She could never do the former. How could she just watch thousands of people starve to death?

"Meat buns? Where are they? Where can we eat them?" Several people who still had some strength stood up by holding onto the wall, staring at the two children in front of them like wolves.

"If you want to interfere, just set up a porridge stall and give out porridge yourself. I will never interfere. After all, I'm not a bad guy." After saying that, the city lord ordered the visitor to leave.

Lin Jiuxi was stunned by the city lord's blatant hypocrisy.

If you can't be patient and something goes wrong then you can't blame him.

There was trouble in Hezhou, but we didn't receive any news about it here, and perhaps even the imperial court didn't receive any news.

"Since there hasn't been any, then don't worry about it." The city lord said nonchalantly, "If they dare to cause trouble, then I will come out to suppress them, and it will be justified. Since there hasn't been any for the time being, then just let them be."

"Go and ask for me tonight, how many people have come from Hezhou recently? Where do they live? What's the situation in Hezhou? If you ask well, come tomorrow morning, you will be given meat buns and money." Lin Jiuxi looked at the two dirty children and felt a little sorry for them.

In order to survive, some people had to leave Hezhou, become refugees, and beg along the way.

Lin Jiuxi reached out and touched his wallet, which was full of pearl gold leaves.

How can this be?

In the afternoon, two little beggars came to the lifeless and dilapidated temple.

"In our Taoyuan Gang, anyone who is willing to work, regardless of gender or age, can follow me! I will take you to eat meat buns." The child said firmly.

As for the latter, now that she has a large amount of gold in her hands, she can buy rice, but living off the savings is definitely not a good idea.

Hezhou was a fertile land, and the people who farmed there lived better than those in other places. As a result, there were many people there, as many as a million.

Lin Jiuxi nodded, "Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, you can come here tomorrow and eat some buns first. I can't lie to you about what you asked."

"We had nothing to eat last night, but now we can share half of the meat buns with them." said the little beggar who loved to laugh, with his eyes curved.

Should we let it go and indulge them? Or should we set up a porridge stall and distribute food to them? Neither of these two options is the best.

In such chaos, those officials with power might be affected to some extent, but the ones who suffered the greatest harm and suffered the most deaths were the fleeing civilians.

"Yes, if you are willing to join our Taoyuan Gang, you can follow me to Taoyuan Gang for dinner now." The young boy had a stern face. Seeing that they were all staring at him blankly, he thought for a moment and added, "There are delicious meat buns to eat!"

If they had to rely entirely on begging, no city would be able to accommodate thousands of homeless beggars. The citizens' lives might be much better than those of the beggars, but they still could not afford to support so many people.

"Not yet, but they have nothing to eat or wear, and a lot of people have gathered together. If we don't deal with it, there may indeed be trouble." Lin Jiuxi was quite worried about this.

This means that if there is chaos in the world, no one will be prepared.

The little beggar took a piece of paper in his hand and pasted it on the door of the dilapidated temple.

She couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

They eat the emperor's food, but have no awareness of serving the people.

If they are allowed to gather in one place, it may be okay at first, but problems will inevitably arise over time.

The city lord smiled on his chubby face. "You also said that these are the people of Nanzhao, not my people. I only need to protect the people in this city. I can't control more than that."

All of them were like Wang, with dark skin. The torture of hunger made them skinny, and their eyes were empty and full of hunger.

"There are refugees causing trouble outside the city?" The city lord was indeed a little surprised after hearing this.

When the two children heard that there were meat buns, their mouths watered immediately and they nodded quickly.

Lin Jiuxi felt a little sad when he heard this, so he went back to pack some leftovers for them and told them to come back tomorrow.

No one knew what kind of deity this temple was dedicated to, but it was quite large. It was precisely because of this that it could provide a shelter for thousands of people.

Hezhou was hit by a disaster. The Dragon King refused to send rain, and the harvest was lost in the area of ​​nearly 100 miles. The county magistrate was a man who only collected taxes but did not work. They joined forces with the gentry to sell the old rice they had purchased in previous years at a high price.

"Yeah, I've only smelled the aroma of meat buns but haven't eaten them yet." The other one grinned happily.

And now there are hundreds of thousands of people caught up in this chaos and suffering from hunger.

Lin Jiuxi felt an irrepressible anger.

"Are they really meat buns?" They still couldn't believe it.

"But they are also our Nanzhao people. Are we just going to watch them starve to death outside the city?"

"It's not that I'm afraid that my sister is lying to us, I just can't believe that I can actually eat meat buns." The little beggar's face was dirty, but his eyes were bright.

Lin Jiuxi felt a chill in his heart.

Lin Jiuxi silently handed the meat buns in his hand to them.

Even if they were not the people under his rule, they were thousands of people. How could he abandon them so casually?

But he was just a child, looking only seven or eight years old.

The two little beggars thought she was a good person. Not only were they willing to take her there, they also told her: "There are so many people there. They have nothing to eat. They have eaten all the tree bark. Some people are even eating dirt."

"Our gang leader said that the Taoyuan Gang is recruiting people, regardless of gender, age or status, as long as anyone is willing to join the gang, they will be able to have food!"

Lin Jiuxi followed them to the outside of the city gate.

In other words, what Wang said yesterday was true.

Lin Jiuxi went to ask in person, and the conclusion she got was similar to what the little beggar told her.

The tragic scene in the temple was indeed beyond her expectations.

If they didn't buy rice, they would starve to death. If they didn't have the money to buy rice, they could only mortgage their land at a very low price. But the rice wouldn't last long. Some people sold themselves, and some sold their children.

The next morning, the two little beggars were waiting at the door. As soon as they saw Lin Jiuxi, they didn't mention the meat buns, but rushed to tell her the news they had found out last night.

This sentence is like a drop of water dropped into a frying pan, and it suddenly begins to boil.

"Where are those thousands of refugees now? Can you take me over to see them?" Lin Jiuxi asked.

After all, he was also trying to protect the people of the city.

After arriving in the city, Lin Jiuxi knocked on the city lord's door and told him about the gathering of refugees.

These refugees are now gathered in a dilapidated temple not far from the city gate.

They didn't go to the same place, only a few thousand people came here.

If you don’t know, it’s fine, but now that you know, you can’t just ignore it.

She hardly dared to look any further; it was simply a scene of hell on earth.

Fortunately, I had cheated Ji Weiyu out of a large sum of gold leaves before, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to take care of this matter. Money gives the poor people courage!

As for the current task, it would be better to let them do it rather than do it myself.

Everyone started buzzing with discussion.

"Don't tease us, we are so hungry that we can't even walk. If there is food, why don't you just bring it over and share it with us?"

"Yeah, yeah, who knows what the Taoyuan Gang is? Do they want us to get some buns to eat, or do they want to sell us out?"

"But what if it's true..." Some people are unwilling to give up hope.

"Don't even think about it. They're looking for people who are strong and capable. Who would hire someone like us who are old, weak, or sick? It's better to just sleep soundly and die of hunger in your dreams."
