Poor Ghost Up and Down 2000

After a while, he asked with a serious face.

"Prime Minister, the Huns are now going south to plunder in the north. If the northern army is withdrawn and the Guanzhong is stabilized, the Huns will have no obstacles."

"So, what will happen to the people in Zhao Yan's land?"

Although he was asking, he should know the answer in his heart.

If the Mongolian army withdrew, the Xiongnu would naturally go south to plunder the people, and the first ones would be the people of Zhao Yan.Now there is no food in the whole country, and if they are plundered by the Xiongnu again, the people of the two places may have no way to survive.

Li Si didn't answer Fu Su fell silent.

"It's better not to withdraw the army of the Northland. We, the people of Great Qin, have suffered so much from natural disasters that we can't stand man-made disasters."

Fusu said in a daze: "Collect food and grass to transport to the north, and help General Meng return home triumphantly after defeating the Xiongnu."

"Also order 50 troops from the Baiyue area to return to Guanzhong Guju."

Sighing, Li Si didn't insist anymore, and bent down to accept the order.

Although it was not possible to recall the 20 troops from the Northland, in the current situation, the 50 troops from the Baiyue Land should be enough to return to the pass.If there is another change, the army of the Northland can also be recalled at that time.

"As for the chaos in Chenzhong..."

"Your Majesty." Gu Nan bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty can lead the army to suppress the rebellion."

"Okay. That's up to General Gu."

······

Gu Nan and Li Si walked out of the palace gate together and stood outside the palace gate.

Li Si looked back to the end of the palace wall: "Mr. Gu, tell me, how long will it take for the chaos in this country to subside?"

"When the ridges are plowed and the household grain is produced, this chaos will subside." Gu Nan said, looking at the road, and put the helmet on his head.

"Yeah, if there is food to be safe, the chaos should go away." Li Si didn't look at Gu Nan, and he still fell in the palace, as if talking to himself.

"There are no variables. It will take a year until there is food production. There is no food available among the people. How many people will die in this time?"

He seemed to be asking Gu Nan, himself, and the top of the sky.

Gu Nan paused for a moment with the hands that tied the helmet, and then fastened the helmet tightly.

"How much food is there in the country?"

"After the granaries in various places were opened to help the people, there is not much left, and in some places there should be enough to distribute for more than a month."

Li Si's voice was not heavy, but very clear.

"After the Northern Army's food is mobilized, there may not be much food left in Guanzhong."

It won't be long before, I'm afraid the world will really come to the point where there is no food, even in Guanzhong, by then, hungry people will be everywhere.

Gu Nan stopped asking, and walked towards the road outside the palace, Li Si didn't say any more, and stood in front of the palace gate.

In this year, many people will die, even more than in the troubled times.

Chapter 244: No one will care

The main army around Xianyang City is no more than one hundred thousand people.

For the common people's chaos, fifty thousand regular soldiers and fifty thousand more soldiers, a total of one hundred thousand people, were led into Chen County by the trapped army.Most of the remaining troops were transferred to Xianyang to defend.

Wherever the rebellious army passed, they plundered food from all over the place, and those who did not follow up with the rebellion were robbed and lost, and fell to various places, becoming refugees.The refugees had no food, and they robbed and robbed in order to survive. As a result, the number of refugees increased, and the counties in the county were in chaos, and the people had no way to live.

In a village in a county, the ground is only covered with withered soil, and the roots of the turf must have been pulled out and eaten.

The dilapidated houses stood on the loess, and the door frames were locked.

In the house, a sallow-faced and thin woman was lighting a fire with dry wood, and a large bowl was placed on the fire.A ladle of shallow water was boiled in the bowl, and a few grass leaves and grass roots were floating on the water, and some beans were still boiled under the water, and a few pieces of bean skins were floating.

It must have been cooking for a while, but the woman swallowed a mouthful of saliva as she looked at the bowl of grass soup or bean soup.

"Wow..."

There was a cry from the bed behind her, but the cry was silent, or rather weak.

The woman was startled, got up quickly, wiped her hands and walked to the bed.

Looking at the child on the bed, he picked up the child in a panic and patted the child on the back.

"If you're not hungry, you'll have something to eat right away."

The woman said softly, "Not hungry, not hungry."

Her eyes gradually turned red, and in the end, even her tone was choked up, until she couldn't speak and cried silently.

The child in her arms stopped crying. The woman pursed her mouth, put the child on the bed, took a bowl and a spoon, poured out the burning soup, and brought it in front of the child.

Wiping the tears off his face, he scooped up the boiled beans with a spoon, blew them warm, and brought them to the child's mouth.

He smiled and said softly, "Come on, let's eat."

The child opened his mouth and ate the beans, and the woman fed him spoon by spoon until the child was full and fell asleep.

The woman looked at the cold soup in her hand, there were still a few pieces of bean skin and grass leaves in it, and drank it clean.

She put the bowl down and looked around the house, but there was nothing on all sides.

Walk to a wooden cabinet, open the cabinet, inside there is a worn cloth bag, the size of a palm.The woman took out the cloth bag, and there were probably half a bag of beans in it.

After carefully reading it again, the woman finally couldn't help it, sobbing while holding the bag.

There was not enough to eat, and there was no way to grow food in the field. Even if it could, she had nothing to grow.Even if it is planted, it will take several months to reap the harvest. It is impossible for her and the child to survive until then.

These beans are not enough for her children to eat for a long time.

She didn't know what to do. She had already sold everything that could be sold at home, and could be exchanged for food. She really had no choice.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a rough knock on the door, and the woman was so frightened that she hurriedly put the bag back in the cabinet and closed it, putting her hands on her clothes.

Facing the door, he asked nervously, "Who is it?"

"Inspector." A man's voice outside the door yelled violently.

The tears in the woman's eyes almost flowed again, she didn't open the door and huddled by the wall.
