As soon as he got in the car, Huo Qi told Yun Chu about what happened in Guangliang Province.

She knew that it was the telegram sent by Huo Er and Huo San after they left Shanghai, but the situation had become more serious in recent days.

After entering the city, the situation in Green City was different from when Yun Chu left. Refugees wrapped in tattered bedding were everywhere on the street corners. However, their faces looked much better than those of the common people outside the city. At least they did not feed their children with blood.

The car sped along and soon arrived at the western-style building where Yun Chu lived before he left.

"Madam, please sit down first. I'll ask someone to prepare some food." After saying this, Huo Qi went out.

During the time they were away, Ju Jia Lingxiang and Yu Yongmei had been living here, so the house didn't seem to be covered in dust.

Yun Chu sat on the sofa again, pursed his lips and thought. The victims still needed relief, and it needed to be done swiftly and decisively so that the people of Guangliang Province would have the confidence to survive. Therefore, food was indispensable, and this still required feedback from Fengjin.

Before this, grain could only be purchased from other places, and gold, silver and money became the top priority.

However, now that Green City has become Fengjin’s base, the latter has to pay for food no matter what.

There is well water in Green City, and distributing porridge water outside the city every day is also a solution.

When Yun Chu was thinking again, Huo Qi came back with a cook. He said, "Madam, I have sent someone to notify Huo Yi and Huo San. They will be here soon. If you have any questions about the situation in Green City, you can ask them."

Yun Chu nodded again, and while he was waiting, the cook prepared a table full of delicious dishes.

Such a meal is something that ordinary people outside the city could only dream of, and Yun Chu does not have the compassion and kindness to not eat it just because others cannot. After traveling for so many days, it is indeed a bit unfair to the child.

Yun Chu hadn't finished eating yet when Huo Yi and Huo San arrived.

They walked in a hurry and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Yun Chu sitting at the table and eating leisurely. Huo San glanced at Huo Qi. The kid was standing aside like a door god. Thinking of the intelligence from Shanghai, he couldn't help but feel envious. This dull guy actually shot down the Japanese warship together with Shen Qiu. They actually missed this opportunity!

God knows how much he and Huo Er were beating their chests when the news came back.

They knew that they could achieve great success by following the lady, but unfortunately Greentown cannot do without people. Alas, it is fate.

"Madam, did you have a smooth journey?" Huo Er asked with a look of reverence on his face. What happened in Shanghai was truly astonishing. Madam had only been away from Green City for over a month, and she had accomplished such a thrilling feat. She was indeed Fengjin's lucky star!

When they first plotted to take over Greentown, they were considered very courageous, but it would have been unthinkable if it had happened in Shanghai.

It was an economic port city. The Japanese transported military supplies from the sea and almost regarded Shanghai as their base camp. But who would have thought that their wife had directly incorporated this important place into the territory of Fengjin in such a short time?

Yun Chu nodded again and asked, "Have you reported the Green City incident to Huo Zhan?"

When this matter was mentioned, Huo Yi's expression became serious. He nodded and said, "Yes, the Marshal said that one hundred places will be opened every day for refugees to enter the city. You don't have to worry about it at ordinary times. Just wait until you come back. One hundred refugees enter the city every day. Madam's charity organization helps to accommodate them. However, if this continues, I'm afraid there won't be much surplus food to feed the people outside the city."

Huo Yi finished speaking in a deep voice, and Huo San continued: "This is not the most terrible thing. Right now, Guangliang Province is suffering from drought everywhere. People draw water from the wells to irrigate the land every day. The grain harvest is limited. I am afraid that more and more refugees will flock here."

Yun Chu finished his soup and nodded, "I know everything. There will be a result in Fengjin soon regarding food. But before that, we can't ignore the refugees outside the city. I still have some gold. You can use it to buy food from neighboring provinces. It doesn't matter if it's coarse or fine grains. As long as there is stock, buy it all back and you'll be fine after this period of time."

Hearing this, Huo Yi and Huo San looked at each other and nodded: "Let's follow Madam's arrangements."

However, even if we buy grain from other provincial capitals, the number will not be a particularly large one. After all, the people are being drained dry by conscription and taxes in various places, so how can there be so much grain to sell?

During the war years, food is hard currency. After all, ordinary people can starve, but soldiers cannot. Otherwise, they cannot pick up weapons, cannot defeat foreign enemies, and will die in the end. It is not easy to alleviate the situation in Guangliang Province.

Yun Chu asked again: "Have you contacted Cai Shirong?"

What he promised to Cai Shirong must be done. As for Tan Huaishu, they met outside the city when he left Green City. He didn't know whether he had returned to Green City safely. After all, the control was strict now, and he would have to go through inspections from all parties if he wanted to enter the city.

Huo Yi looked at Huo San. He had always been in charge of Green City's security and the removal of obstacles from various forces. The liaison with the coalition had always been assigned to Huo San. Green City had been busy recently and the two had not talked about this matter.

Huo San hesitated for a moment and said, "We have already negotiated. There is no problem with the drug transportation line."

After that, Huo San continued, "However, Cai Shirong's student has returned and was blocked at the city gate by Huo's army. I know his relationship with Tachibana Kayaka, so I brought him in. The two have been in frequent contact during this period."

Yun Chu nodded again. It seemed that everything was going smoothly after she left Greentown.

After asking some more questions, Yun Chu felt tired again, and Huo Yi and Huo San pulled Huo Qi away.

There were only a few brief descriptions of what happened in Shanghai. They were really curious about what happened specifically. It was impossible for them to learn about it from their wives, so Huo Qi became the best narrator. However, this taciturn man could not say a single word!

Yun Chu didn't care what they asked. He went upstairs and had a comfortable sleep. When he woke up, it was already evening.

When she went downstairs, she saw Tachibana Ayaka pacing beside the sofa. She looked upstairs from time to time. She had already known the news that Yun Chu had returned, and her face was a little excited. She was not aware of what was happening in Shanghai for the time being.

"Ayaka?" Yun Chu called again and walked down the stairs slowly.

The next moment, he was embraced by Ju Jia Ling Xiang. She said excitedly, "Ayun, you are finally back! You left without telling me where you were going. Did you know that Huai Shu came back just after you left?"

Yun Chu chuckled again: "You should be happy that Senior Tan is back. Have you ever thought about having a wedding?"

Hearing this, Tachibana Kayaka's eyes widened in disbelief, her face flushed a little, but then she said dumbly: "There is unrest everywhere now, why hold a wedding, and my father... I'm very scared."

Tachibana Kayaka's voice was a little bitter. She had been waiting for the final judgment, but she didn't know if it was because of the chaos in Green City, Shanghai City had never sent anyone. She was very happy during this period, staying with Huaishu every day, treating refugees together, and she never thought about taking the relationship further. After all, no one knew when the butcher's knife hanging over their heads would fall.
