Sanbao's tone paused, as if he was worried, but in the end he gritted his teeth and continued: "The real disaster is a hundred times more serious than what you, Your Highness, know."
"Take the Xishan Province that was most severely affected by floods. It suffered from the flooding of the Yellow River and bursting of its banks. All the rivers were overflowing and all the fields were overturned. The fertile fields and crops in the past are now as far as the eye can see and there are no more fireworks.
.”
"The neighboring province of Nanhe is not much better. Floods have spread for more than a thousand miles, and the number of hungry people has reached 500,000 or 600,000. In order to survive, the victims either dig Guanyin white mud to satisfy their hunger, or go up the mountain to dig grass roots and tree bark.
For food, when the disaster victims passed by, a mountain would be eaten bare. Someone witnessed Zeng said that when the disaster victims passed by, the mountain would be one foot shorter. This means that those extremely hungry victims could eat a mountain bare, without any grass roots.
, bark, just dig the soil and eat it..."
Even for a eunuch like Sanbao Eunuch, who is so feminine and selfish to the core, there is a hint of intolerance on his face. He said in a trembling voice: "Now that the disaster is getting more serious, it is a helpless act for the people to exchange their children for food. What's even more terrifying is that
In some places, many people will surround the victims who are about to die, and just wait for him to die, and then rush to eat them..."
"okay."
Li Chen interrupted Sanbao and he was silent for a long time.
Li Chen didn't speak, and Sanbao didn't dare to say a word. Now he can feel more and more that Li Chen's emotions and anger are not obvious. With his growing majesty, he no longer dares to guess Li Chen's thoughts easily.
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger...
Although Li Chen is not yet a king, Sambo can feel in him that he is gradually transforming and preparing for that position.
After a long time.
boom!
A teacup was smashed to the ground.
Li Chen couldn't bear it and shouted angrily: "The victims of the disaster are suffering so much. Zhao Xuanji's son Zhao Tailai can spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to build a pavilion. The civil and military ministers of the DPRK all live extremely extravagant lives. They drink, sing, and play bamboos, almost
Playing and singing every night, eating minced meat every day, pouring out delicious food as soon as possible, and pursuing the best and most expensive food and clothing. Isn’t this the stinky wine and meat of a wealthy family!?"
The teacup shattered, and the flying fragments scratched Sanbao's cheek. A bright red line of blood appeared, but he did not dare to wipe it. He lay deeply on the ground and said in panic: "Your Highness, please calm down."
"Quit your anger? How can you stop this anger!?"
Li Chen snorted coldly, glanced at Sanbao, waved his hand and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, and I will not vent my anger on you... It's just that the ills in the court have been accumulated for a long time, and it is not possible to freeze them three feet."
To solve the problem of one day's cold, we must use thunderous means to kill a large number of people and let them know their fear with blood!"
Feeling chest tightness and irritation, Li Chen exhaled a breath and walked out of Xi Zheng Palace intending to take a breather. When he looked up, he saw the night sky. Unexpectedly, heavy snow started to fall.
Goose-feather-like snowflakes drifted down from the deep sky, falling to the ground as if they came from nowhere, sucking away the last trace of heat in the day.
A cold wind blew in, biting the bones.
Behind him, Sanbao held a mink fur cloak and put it on Li Chen. He said carefully: "Your Highness, it's snowing and you are exposed late at night. Please take care of yourself."
"I'm determined."
Li Chen tightened his cloak and felt a lot warmer. He suddenly said: "The disaster situation is already serious. Now heavy snow has spread across the four provinces and has covered the capital today. I wonder how many of the victims can survive this year's cold winter?"
Sanbao knelt down and said: "Your Highness has a kind heart, and this servant can never be as kind as you."
"Stop flattering me."
Li Chen's eyes narrowed and he said slowly: "Go and summon the champion Su Zhenting to the East Palace. I have important matters to discuss with him."
