Chapter 202: Settling the Refugee Soldiers' Families



General Xiao put it to his mouth and paused for a moment while holding the crab meat.

He raised his eyelids and glanced at the dark woods around him, and his head shook like a rattle.

"No, no, no, I won't go. If you dare to leave, don't even think about eating my food in the future."

General Xiao took a deep breath and gave Xiao Yunchao a blank look.

"Come on, come on, let's eat together. I knew you were restless..."

Xiao Yunchao curled the corners of his lips and sat down obediently.

He really didn't say that for food, but he was too lazy to explain. Even if he did, his father wouldn't believe it.

Eat what you have quickly...

.......

Lin Yiran had just finished ordering food for General Xiao while cursing when the green bubble alarm started beeping again.

She didn't even need to look to know that it must be her elder brother Xiao Yunhao who was hungry. Her elder brother had only eaten one meal this morning and hadn't asked for anything else since then.

Lin Yiran clicked on the green bubble and saw that it was Xiao Yunzhan’s avatar flashing.

This guy's profile picture hasn't flashed for a long time.

I clicked on Xiao Yunzhan's profile picture and saw a message flashing on the chat page.

"Xiao Yunzhan, who is 188cm tall and has eight-pack abs, wants to eat vegetable buns, meat buns, steamed buns, and rice porridge. Please order for him."

Thinking that Xiao Yunzhan was now with the prefect, she immediately knew why Xiao Yunzhan wanted to order food.

Lin Yiran didn't hesitate and ordered double portions of vegetable buns, meat buns, steamed buns, and rice porridge for Xiao Yunzhan.

..........

"This, this, this----there's actually food here..."

He Zhifu looked at the food that suddenly appeared on the table excitedly, his eyes instantly moistened, and he knelt down with a plop.

"I, He Dongning, the prefect of Pingliang City, am willing to submit to the Divine King. I beg... I beg the Divine King to look after the people of Pingliang City..."

Prefect He didn't know where the God King was, but Xiao Yunzhan could contact the God King, so it would be the same if he kneeled to Xiao Yunzhan, the God King would be able to sense it.

The God King has such extraordinary abilities that he can command the support of hundreds of people.

Food is the most important thing for people. People need to have enough food to eat. Whoever can feed them will be the emperor of this world.

At this moment, Magistrate He was extremely grateful. He had always admired the Xiao family. Even when he knew that the Xiao family had their property confiscated and exiled, he never took sides.

He did not implicate them just because the people under his jurisdiction spoke for the Xiao family.

Look, good fortune has come to Pingliang City. This is only possible because everyone supports General Xiao wholeheartedly.

"Master He, please get up quickly. Pingliang City will still need your care in the future."

Xiao Yunzhan hurried forward to help He Zhifu up.

"Master He, please make proper arrangements for the families of those refugee soldiers. There will be refugees from other cities seeking refuge later, and we also need Master He to make things easier and release them."

"We will try our best to arrange for the families of the refugee soldiers to stay in Pingliang City. Thank you for your hard work, Lord He."

The number of soldiers in Brahma City will only increase, and it is impossible to accommodate all the families of so many soldiers in Brahma City.

The soldiers had no place to stay and could only live in tents in the suburbs.

It’s okay now that it’s hot, but in two or three months when the weather gets cold, it will be too cold to live in the tent.

The key is that there are not so many tents now. Fortunately, there is still time, and the soldiers can set up the tents themselves.

"I understand. Don't worry, there are plenty of empty houses and vacant lots in Pingliang City." He Zhifu nodded repeatedly and quickly took out the house registration book from the desk.

"General Xiao, please take a look. This is the list of vacant houses I've had recorded. The refugees will then be able to draw lots. If there's not enough room in the city, they can move to the surrounding villages."

"The villages around Pingliang City are basically empty. If these refugees are from the same village, they can just settle down together in the same village..."

Xiao Yunzhan took the house registration book and looked through it.

There are indeed many empty houses in Pingliang City, but it is definitely not enough to accommodate these refugees. They still have to go to the surrounding villages.

Xiao Yunzhan frowned slightly.

"If a village has more than 50 people, they will be arranged to live in the surrounding villages. The rest will be temporarily arranged in the city. If the original head of the household in the city returns, we will need Mr. He's help to adjust it."

"Some of them were originally from Pingliang City who fled the famine and I found them and brought them back. I can just let them go back to their homes."

Arranging these refugees is a tedious task that requires a lot of effort.

There are so many people and they are so diverse, with people from all cities, so it is very troublesome to make arrangements.

"Of course, General Xiao, don't worry, I will make proper arrangements."

He Zhifu nodded, raised his eyelids and looked at Xiao Yunzhan, hesitantly said,

"It's no problem to arrange accommodation, but the food..."

"I'm dissatisfied with General Xiao. The entire city's granary is almost empty. With so many refugees, they can only hold out for a day or two at most. Sigh..."

The drought became more and more serious, and the merchants in Pingliang City were forced by him to donate grain. In the end, the merchants could not bear it anymore and fled with their families.

He executed two corrupt officials, and those subordinates who had embezzled food were so scared that they vomited it out.

If Xiao Yunzhan had not brought a large number of people into Pingliang City, within two days, all the officials in Pingliang City would have had to flee, as they would have been unable to survive.

"Don't worry, Master He. You don't need to worry about the food. After dinner, Master He will take me to the granary."

Xiao Yunzhan pointed at the food on the table.

"Come, let's eat and talk..."

While they were talking, Xiao Yunzhan heard Lord He's stomach rumbling several times.

Lin Yiran had already told him about the food matter. As long as he decided which granary to put the food in, he just needed to send her a message and she would arrange the food immediately.

"Okay, okay, General Xiao, please go first..."

When Prefect He heard that Xiao Yunzhan was going to put grain into the granary, his eyes narrowed with joy.

The people of Pingliang City were finally saved.

If you eat the food of the God King, you must work for the God King.

He will pay more attention to the conscription issue. Every household must have at least one person serving in the army, and food will be distributed to the families according to the number of soldiers.

........

"Let's eat first. Xiao Yunzhan and He Zhifu have gone to eat."

When Lin Yiran saw Mrs. Xiao and the others who had just washed up, she quickly called them over for dinner.

She prepared a big table of delicious food, most of which was seafood.

There was no way out. She was tempted by the seafood feast ordered by General Xiao, so she ordered one as well.

This money is well spent, it smells so good that it makes my mouth water.

Old Madam Xiao smelled the delicious seafood mixed with the tempting aroma of garlic, and her stomach growled with greed.

“Is this seafood?”

Old Madam Xiao looked at the coastal seafood that she had only seen in storybooks before, and her eyes widened in shock.
