After Feng'er and Aunt Bing took out a few bags of steamed buns from the carriage at the back, Yun Ruoyue quickly grabbed them and handed them to the victims, "Come on, we didn't bring much food with us on this trip. We only have one per person for the time being. Hurry up.
Eat."
"Thank you ma'am."
As soon as the victims took the steamed buns, they immediately stuffed them into their mouths hungrily.
Soon, they finished the steamed buns without even burping, which showed how hungry they were.
After they finished eating, their eyes were staring hungrily at Yun Ruoyue's carriage, as if their eyes were peering through the carriage to take out the food inside.
When Chu Xuanchen saw this, he immediately knew something was wrong.
He suddenly walked out, pulled Yun Ruoyue back, and then threw all the remaining steamed buns to the victims.
At the same time, he said: "We will give you all the steamed buns, so you can save them and take care of them for about two days.
In these two days, you should not go towards the imperial city.
Because this place is far away from the imperial city and there is nothing to eat on the way, I am afraid that you will starve to death before you reach the imperial city.
We have seen many people dying of hunger along the way.
The emperor has sent imperial ministers to Jiangnan to provide relief. If you want to survive, it is better to go to Jiangzhou, Qingzhou, Yongzhou and Jeju.
When we get there, there will be an imperial envoy bringing food to provide relief, you know?"
This is close to Jiangnan and far from the imperial city.
When they came, they saw many people starving to death on the way. They starved to death before they could escape to the imperial city.
Instead of starving to death on the road, it is better to let them return to Jiangnan first, at least their army of food is already on the way to Jiangnan.
Moreover, he secretly allocated one million disaster relief funds to Li San, asking him to pretend to be a businessman and continue to buy food from the neighboring countries such as Xueyue Kingdom and Donglin Kingdom.
Only with enough food can he save more people.
When everyone heard this, their faces were filled with joy, "Really?
Did the emperor really send imperial ministers to Jiangnan to provide relief?
Then when we go to Jiangnan, will there be food to eat?"
"Yes, don't worry."
Chu Xuanchen said.
"I don't believe it, all those officials are used to corruption.
Even if the emperor sends people to provide disaster relief, when those officials are exploited layer by layer, will we still have a share?"
"Yes, I have never received food from the government.
We can't count on the government, we can only count on ourselves. It might be useless to escape back to Jiangnan, we will still starve to death, so why not go to the imperial city and try our best to survive."
"I heard that the Imperial City is full of rich people, and there are often good people giving porridge. Let's try our luck, maybe we can get a few meals.
Besides, the emperor doesn’t want to see the people die in the imperial city, right?”
When Yun Ruoyue heard what they said, she quickly said: "Everyone, please be patient. This place is really far away from the imperial city. If we don't have enough food to support it, we can't reach it.
Moreover, do you know who the emperor sent to provide relief?"
"Who is it?"
The victims asked curiously.
Yun Ruoyue immediately said proudly: "His Royal Highness Prince Li, Chu Xuanchen! Have you heard of Prince Li's name?
I heard that he himself spent one million taels of silver to buy food for the victims.
And this time he travels with Shang Fang's sword given by the emperor. Shang Fang's sword can kill the faint king at the top and the greedy minister at the bottom.
With His Highness's upright temper, if any corrupt official dares to embezzle his money, he will definitely not forgive him lightly.
Moreover, the team transporting food this time was the Xuance Army, and the food was delivered directly to the victims from the Xuance Army without going through the hands of the government.
In this case, don’t you still believe that you can eat food?”
