At this moment, this group of people gained a new understanding of Ye Lang, which was that he was a little muddle-headed. Of course, they soon found out that he wasn't muddle-headed at all, but a muddle-headed ghost.
However, this personality made these people support Ye Lang even more, and they didn't allow anyone to deceive Ye Lang. This was because they felt that Ye Lang was very easy to trick.
Although it was proven afterwards that those who had designs on Ye Lang often brought trouble upon themselves and were led into a predicament by Ye Lang, Ye Lang didn't seem to be the kind of person who was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. It was more like a coincidence, which made people feel even more depressed.
"Why are all these coachmen like this? They take the money and then run away. Next time, I'll only give them a deposit and not the full cost. I'll pay them when we reach the destination." Ye Lang had already been abandoned by the coachmen twice, so he felt that it was necessary to adjust his payment method.
Everyone fell silent. This seemed to have nothing to do with whether you paid a deposit or not. Even if you didn't pay a single cent and only paid them when they arrived, the result would still be the same.
"Then, Sir, can you walk?" The dark, skinny man asked. He was afraid that with Ye Lang and Little Rui's fragile bodies, they might not have walked before. How would they find a carriage for them?
"Alright, let's go. Lead the way." Ye Lang nodded. He wasn't the kind of person who was proud and arrogant. He had walked hundreds of miles on foot before, and there was no need to mention Little Rui.
After Ye Lang's reply, everyone immediately led Ye Lang to the nearest town. Ye Lang was surrounded by them as he chatted with them.
As they chatted, Ye Lang gained a better understanding of the situation. He understood that these thousand or so people were only a small portion of the people who had fled here. There were at least 100,000 people who had fled here.
It seemed that the movement of these people would bring a great burden to the Holy City, and at the same time, it would greatly affect the Ella Empire.
At the same time, Ye Lang heard more about the Gomera Commandery. Whether it was the culture of the people or the hateful things about the Lord, he understood more about it.
Regarding the Lord, Ye Lang said, "You don't have to hate him. After he loses you, he won't have a good life."
The dark, skinny man was still by Ye Lang's side, and he replied, "They can still live happily without us. They always think that we're lowly commoners."
"Why are you so stupid? Without you commoners, how can he maintain his regime? Even if your Emperor doesn't punish them, they'll still die miserably," Ye Lang said. Ye Lang said, "If I were your emperor, I would definitely let them stay there. I would definitely not let them leave, and I would not send any reinforcements to them."
"Why?"
"Think about it. Without all of you working in Gomera County, it would be a problem to lose ten or twenty thousand people. Now, without all of you, there will be no new food production. Even if they have food reserves, they will run out. Eh, I have to inform Seventh Brother, hehe …"
"Time," Ye Lord, Ye, "Lord", "Ye", was. Most of the people left in the Gomera Commandery were nobles and rich people, as well as the refugees who could not escape.
Now, as long as he sent people to steal the food there and sell it to them at a high price, it would be even better than stealing money. At the same time, he could send people to buy the barren land there. It should be very cheap now, and after a few more years of growing the land and growing food, he could steal money again. No, he could make money.
Of course, Ye Lang would also arrange for the commoners to look after his land.
Originally, this plan could only steal a small part of the land, but he did not expect it to be so successful. The Ye Clan almost swept away all the wealth of the Gomera Commandery and owned thousands of acres of fertile land.
In addition to the perfect cooperation of Seventh Brother, Third Brother, and the others, the Emperor of the Ella Empire also happened to help out. Just as Ye Lang had said, the Emperor of the Ella Empire really allowed Gomera County to continue, but he cut off all supplies in the county.
Because of this, the Ye Clan gained both the people and the wealth.
Perhaps this was a punishment from the heavens.
…
Along the way, because Ye Lang and Little Rui were surrounded in the middle, people who saw them thought that they were just ordinary refugees. Recently, they could see them at any time, so no one cared.
However, some refugees who were alone would gather together when they saw so many of their own kind. This way, they could at least take care of each other. Of course, some people felt that it was easier for them to survive alone, so they did not follow the main group.
Naturally, no one paid attention to these people. The people who were about to starve to death along the way were the ones they cared about. They gave them food and brought them along. This was the power of the main group.
Although these thousands of people saved only a very small part of the people who were fleeing, and they did not manage to save most of them, one more was one more, so there was no need to worry about one less.
And this credit seemed to belong to Ye Lang, because if it were not for Ye Lang, these people would not have saved people, because they could not even take care of themselves.
This also made some people reflect on themselves. In fact, the conditions were the same whether Ye Lang was around or not. A little more food was actually not a big deal. They had more before, but they had not organized like this.
With the same conditions, why did they not save others before, but now they could do it? In fact, the reason was very simple. It was because they had not thought about it. They had not thought that they could also save themselves and others. They had only cared about their own survival.
Many times, people were like this. They clearly could do it, but they did not do it, making things worse and worse.
Ye Lang's appearance had changed this situation, and it was becoming better and better. They believed that when the time came, they would not need the Holy City's help and would be able to survive on their own, and they would even have the ability to help others.
This was a very magical change.
"Go, you refugees don't need to enter the city. Finish this porridge and continue on your way. We have already done everything we can for you."
The nearest small city, although the city gates were open, did not let the refugees pass. However, this small city had prepared food for the refugees, so that they could continue to live and continue towards their destination.
This was already very good for a small city like this. Some cities did not care about anything and just kept people outside, not even extending a helping hand.
"Actually, we sympathize with you, but we really can't support so many people here." These were the words of the person who gave out porridge, and it was also the true situation of this small city.
