The White-haired Queen

After all the robbing, the number of vehicles was eight, the same number of vehicles, but the supplies were different. Even if there were some differences, the difference would not be very big, so after all the busy work, the two adults had worked in vain.

As for Gu Changfeng, he knew everything. He was only in charge of the sentry post and matters on the road, and not in charge of the warehouse. So he just turned a blind eye and let the two families fight.

As long as it doesn't involve refugees, doesn't harm others, there is competition between each other, and the means used have a bottom line, then isn't it better to have less trouble than more?

Wen Lanyue's spies also found out about these things. She had originally planned to investigate them after the donation was completed, but now she felt it was necessary. She understood the principle of affecting the entire body by moving one part.

Since everyone is restraining and balancing each other, and the harem can influence the court, let's just go with the flow and wait and see. So she secretly left the palace alone to prepare for the commercial bank.

Donation is like a machine. Once it starts, it has to continue in a cycle. For example, now, people from the former dynasty and the harem are donating, and some are transporting.

The transportation of supplies was the responsibility of Regent Gu Changfeng.

De Fu was in charge of the transportation the first time. When they were passing by Heishui Mountain, they encountered a group of refugees. When everyone saw the food, they rushed to the cart like crazy and robbed the cart of food.

Defu and Regent Gu Changfeng have been in the army for a long time, and he has also been on the battlefield. He knows that the common people are important to the country; he also knows that this batch of food is very important to the refugees; he also understands that sometimes due to combat adjustments or combat problems, they cannot eat on time, and sometimes they cannot eat well for several days, or even have no food for several days.

The feeling of hunger, weakness in limbs, stars in eyes, chest pressed against back, and a burning stomach... But as a soldier, he had to follow orders and make sure to deliver the goods to the Vietnamese area within the specified time.

But now all the food has been looted by the refugees, and I have failed to carry out the orders properly.

Heishui Mountain is relatively close to the capital. If these refugees cannot be properly resettled, it will cause certain troubles to the security and management of the capital. Thinking of this, he wrote a letter to Gu Changfeng, briefly reporting the situation here.

While waiting for a reply, he and his soldiers surveyed the terrain of Heishui Mountain. The soil here is fertile, the mountain water is abundant, and irrigation is convenient, making it suitable for reclamation and sowing.

On the other hand, he ordered his soldiers to round up the refugees and demand that they return the looted food. Without stoves or a place to make a fire, it was difficult for them to cook raw rice.

As the encirclement was slowly shrinking, Defu gathered them together and gave them a speech, telling them: "We have tents, stoves, and firemen to cook for us. As long as you hand in the food, we can give you porridge today to solve your current hunger problem."

The refugees listened quietly, no one said a word, but they were like wild wolves, with sharp eyes, and each of them held on to the food and prepared to charge out.

De Fu continued, "I know that you all fled from the Yue area. I also believe that some of you are from the same village, or even blood relatives. You can elect a representative to negotiate with me, and we will discuss everyone's problems and solve them satisfactorily."

Some refugees began to ask, “Why should we trust you?”

The rest of the refugees echoed, "That's right, why should we trust you?"

Another refugee said, "As long as you don't surround us, we can cook our own meals."

……

At this time, some of the refugee children began to cry. Some children shouted: "Mom, I'm hungry." "Grandpa, I'm hungry." "Dad, I'm hungry, can I eat what's in your arms?"

……

Defu continued, "I know you can build a stove and cook for yourself, but the children are hungry now, and you can't solve the current problem immediately."

After that, Defu said to the people around him: "Lieutenant General Li, you arrange for the firemen to start setting up the stove and cooking, and prepare our rations."

At this time, an old man among the refugees came forward and said, "General, I can give you the food, but can you agree to our two conditions?"

De Fu answered without hesitation: "As a soldier, I cannot tell lies. I cannot guarantee that I can agree to your two conditions now. I need to see what the two conditions are. But please believe me, I will try my best to satisfy you."

The old man held the food tightly, took a few steps forward, and said, "You have solved our food problem today, but we will face the same problem again tomorrow, so I ask you to promise us: first, try your best to solve our food problem; second, whether you can solve our accommodation problem. Food and accommodation are our most critical problems right now."

A refugee immediately agreed, saying, "That's a good point."

Some refugees said: "I think we are overthinking it."

Some displaced persons said: "If they can solve these problems, there will be no more displaced persons due to flood disasters."

The young man next to the old man pulled his arm and said, "Dad, there is no such good thing in the world. Are you dreaming again?"

Lieutenant General Li said: "General, according to their request, we have delivered food and housing, and we should strictly follow the military order."

De Fu turned around and asked, "Then Lieutenant General Li, how do you execute military orders?"

Lieutenant General Li said: "Those who hand in grain can leave on their own, and those who do not hand in grain will be executed on the spot."

Defu said sternly: "General Li Fu, when we were training in the army, did the prince teach us to point the blades of our swords at the people of our own country?"

After a pause, Defu continued, "The prince taught us not to take a single needle or thread from the people, not to hurt the people in the slightest; to be considerate of the people, to love the people as one's own children; to treat the army and the people as one family, to advance and retreat with the people... You, have you forgotten all of this? Copy the military regulations as punishment when you return."

Lieutenant General Li immediately said, "General, you know I am most afraid of writing. Besides, there is no better way at the moment. I just want to use this method to scare these refugees. Besides, although this method is a bit violent, it should be the most effective way to deal with it."

Seeing that Defu was slow to answer, the old man urged, "General, what have you thought about?"

Defu understood that a general on the battlefield was not subject to military orders. If he used force, blood would be spilled and the refugees would suffer losses. If the refugees used force, the food loss would be even greater. He was in a dilemma.

Just when De Fu was undecided, a man riding a tall horse, followed by a carriage, were slowly approaching.
