Chen Wei nodded slightly and stopped talking.
Recalling the longing and desperate eyes of those people, the confusion and pain of having their small families broken up and becoming homeless, Chen Wei couldn't help but feel a sense of empathy.
In this era when people can't even afford food, clothing or other necessities, the lives of ordinary people at the bottom of society are extremely difficult.
Once war and natural disasters occur, the suffering is unbearable.
She felt a little sad and discussed with Xiaoying: "When I came here just now, I saw a lot of refugees lying outside."
"I was wondering if we should do some charity. Although there are several charity centers in the capital giving out porridge, I see that there are too many refugees, and some people still can't get any."
Xiaoying nodded after hearing this.
After thinking for a while, he offered some of the same opinions as Chen Wei: "I've noticed that too, and most of the people who are starving are women and children."
"Although they can get porridge, in the current situation, no one can eat enough, so how can they care about morality and honor?"
"Those who have husbands and families to support them, no one dares to reach out and snatch them away. Some... are truly pitiful. This world is even more so for the weak."
On the way over.
Chen Wei witnessed these details clearly.
She continued, "Yes, women and children are physically weaker. When those tall and strong refugees see someone weaker than themselves, they will snatch the porridge that belongs to women and children."
"Even my own family and relatives would eat first, followed by my grandchildren and sons."
"So, I was thinking...we could give porridge to women and children, so they can eat before leaving, and then they won't be robbed."
"And we have enough manpower here to protect and maintain order."
Even if Chen Wei didn't come today, Xiaoying planned to go to Chen Wei to discuss it later.
Since the two of them had the same idea, the next step would be easy.
Xiaoying took a few people to the rice shop to buy a large amount of rice. This was in the capital, right under the emperor's feet, so the situation was not serious. For the time being, no rice merchant had raised the price of rice in order to make money.
Therefore, the price of rice remains the same as before.
After buying the rice, he started to get busy, while the other apprentices went to various parts of the capital to notify the victims, asking them to go to the east of the city to get porridge half an hour later.
Here, Chen Wei brought a few people to set up the place. Many people had heard the news and came here to wait.
Chen Wei saw a little girl whose flesh was sunken due to hunger. At a glance, she looked like a walking skeleton.
Chen Wei walked over, squatted down and talked to the girl who was waiting in line.
"Why are you the only one in line?"
The little girl's eyes were timid, as if she was afraid.
But when he saw what Chen Wei was wearing, he mustered up the courage to answer, "My mother is sick. Can I get an extra bowl of porridge to bring back to her?"
Chen Wei smiled and touched the girl's head, and the little girl shrank back in fear.
Chen Wei immediately withdrew his hand: "Is your mother sick? Where is she?"
"I'll find a doctor to treat you."
After hearing what the girl said, Chen Wei thought of asking two doctors to come and help with the treatment.
She was a person who acted quickly, and when she thought of this, she immediately asked someone to invite two doctors to see the patient.
It is impossible to ask doctors to run around every alley to treat patients. They simply cannot handle it.
So, Chen Wei came up with a solution.
She said loudly to the people in line, "Everyone."
"I know that right now, everyone is struggling. Many people have been robbed of their porridge and steamed buns, especially women and children."
