After Fung and Aunt Bing took out a few bags of steamed buns from the carriage behind, Yun Ruoyue hurriedly took them out and handed them to the disaster victims. "Come, we didn't bring much food this time. Each person can only have one for the time being. Eat quickly."
"Thank you, Madam." As soon as the disaster victims received the steamed buns, they immediately stuffed them into their mouths.
Soon, they finished eating the steamed buns without even burping. It could be seen how hungry they were.
As soon as they finished eating, their eyes stared hungrily at Yun Ruoyue's carriage. Their eyes looked like they wanted to stare through the carriage and stare at the food inside.
When Chu Xuanchen saw this, he immediately knew that the situation was bad.
He suddenly walked out and pulled Yun Ruoyue back. Then, he threw the rest of the steamed buns to the disaster victims.
At the same time, he said, "We'll give you all the steamed buns. You can eat them sparingly. They can last for about two days. During these two days, you shouldn't go to the Imperial City. Because this place is far away from the Imperial City, there is nothing to eat on the road. I'm afraid that you will starve to death before you reach the Imperial City. We've already seen a lot of starving people along the way. The Emperor has already sent imperial envoys to Jiangnan to provide relief. If you want to live, it's better to go to Jiangzhou, Qingzhou, Yongzhou, and Ji Zhou. When you get there, there will be imperial envoys with food to provide relief. Do you understand? "
This place was close to Jiangnan and far from the Imperial City.
When they came, they saw many people starving to death on the road. They starved to death before they could escape to the Imperial City.
Rather than starving to death on the road, it was better to let them go back to Jiangnan first. At least their food army was already on the way to Jiangnan.
Moreover, he secretly allocated one million yuan for disaster relief to Li San. He let him disguise himself as a merchant and continue to buy food from the neighboring countries, Xue Yue and Donglin.
Only with enough food could he save more people.
When everyone heard this, their faces were filled with joy. "Really? The Emperor really sent imperial envoys to Jiangnan to provide relief? Then if we go to Jiangnan, will there be food to eat? "
"Yes, you can rest assured." Chu Xuanchen said.
"I don't believe it. Those officials are all used to corruption. Even if His Majesty sends people to provide relief, when those officials start exploiting us layer by layer, will we still have a share? "
"That's right, I've never received any food from the government. Let's not count on the government. We can only count on ourselves. Maybe it's useless to escape back to Jiangnan. We'll still starve to death. Why don't we go to the Imperial City and try our luck? "
"I heard that there are rich people everywhere in the Imperial City, and there are always people who give out porridge. Let's go and try our luck. Maybe we can get a meal or two. Besides, His Majesty wouldn't want to see the commoners die in the Imperial City, right? "
When Yun Ruoyue heard what they said, she hurriedly said, "Everyone, please calm down. This place is really far from the Imperial City. If we don't have enough food to support us, we won't be able to walk here. Also, do you know who the emperor sent to provide relief? "
"Who is it?" The victims asked curiously.
Yun Ruoyue immediately said proudly, "The Emperor of Li, Chu Xuanchen! Have you heard of The Emperor of Li? I heard that he used one million taels of silver to buy food for the victims. Moreover, this time he has an imperial sword bestowed by His Majesty. This imperial sword can behead incapable rulers and behead greedy officials. With His Majesty's upright and outspoken temperament, if any corrupt official dares to embezzle his money, he definitely won't let them off easily. Moreover, this time the team transporting the food is the Xuance Army. The food will be directly distributed by the Xuance Army to the victims and won't go through the hands of the government. Like this, do you still not believe you can eat food? "
