The two of them were startled, but they didn't expect that there were still people who wanted to follow them. If the people also followed, it would be good. Daizhou Farm was very big and they could accommodate them.
But there is a problem, that is, this was not originally planned. I am afraid that if the emperor finds out, he will jump over the wall and something will happen again.
Although they were a little embarrassed, they couldn't bear to see the tears in the eyes of the common people, who were so sincere.
Someone cried: "We originally had land, but the land was taken away by the dignitaries. Although we cultivated our own land, we were forced to become tenants. In the past year, we have been unable to survive.
They force us to sell our sons and daughters!"
"Yes, we are a family of craftsmen. The labor force is getting heavier and heavier, but we are not paid. Our family does not have enough food to eat and clothing to keep warm. Recently, my mother and I starved to death in order to save food rations for our children...
Woo hoo..."
The three-foot-tall man burst into tears in the street.
When he cried, countless people began to cry again, and the more they cried, the sadder they became. In the end, they didn't know what they were crying for. They just knew that if they didn't follow him, they would never survive in this life.
Xiao Xian looked at Shen Mingzhu, "Mingzhu?"
These people are willing to give up their family property - although they don't have any family property now, but being able to give up the home they have lived in for so long and willing to follow them is also a sign of trust in them.
Shen Mingzhu looked at the group of people, thought for a while, and said: "I will give you a very simple question and give you your answer, and then I will decide whether you can follow it or not."
If she agrees, I'm afraid some people will feel homesick and blame them, thinking that they have been deceived.
Now we are setting a new threshold to let them know that not everyone can follow.
Everyone looked at her eagerly, "Princess, just ask."
Shen Mingzhu's face became more and more serious, and she asked seriously: "In the year of great disaster, thousands of miles of red soil, there is nothing to eat anymore, and you really have nothing except your wife and children. In order to survive, will you do anything?"
Yi Zi eats each other."
When she said the last four words, her expression was very serious, even a little cold.
Some people nodded and said yes in a low voice, while others shook their heads desperately and said no, "We would rather starve to death together as a family than do such a cruel thing."
Someone muttered, "If we don't do that, then we will starve to death, and the whole family will starve to death."
Some people have experienced that kind of scene and that kind of shadow, which they can never get out of for the rest of their lives.
In the year of great disaster, thousands of miles of red soil left nothing but his wife and children.
So I can only find those who also have wives and children, and exchange the children with each other... It's really shameful.
Some died of illness, some were killed...
Thinking about it, that kind of sadness.
Unfortunately, there was something more miserable waiting for them. Shen Mingzhu's cold voice sounded above her head, "Anyone who thinks that in order to survive, you can eat your own or other people's children, get out of here. I, Shen Mingzhu, never want to see it."
I will never welcome you when I see you. Don't use your pain and poverty to win the tears and sympathy of others. What is the difference between people like you who rely on cannibalism to survive and those powerful people who force you to despair?
