In Ye Haoran's memory, Taiyuan was originally a province with a large population, fertile land and prosperous economy. There shouldn't be so many refugees!

"Lord Chu, Lord Li, what is happening?" Ye Haoran couldn't help but ask as he looked at the scene in the distance!

Chu Xiong's face turned bitter and he lowered his head without saying a word!

“Marshal Ye, you don’t know that the traitor Hou Junji recruited hundreds of thousands of rebels in Taiyuan and attempted to rebel. His crime is extremely heinous! Your Majesty has ordered the recovery of all the lands under the names of the rebels! Their property shall be confiscated! These refugees are the families of the rebels. Your Majesty is already pardoning them by not killing them!” Li Xian said with a smile!

Ye Haoran did not speak, still looking at the old, weak, women and children who had lost their sons! They were living in fear of death and had a hard time! There were even skinny mothers who risked their lives to get close to the team just to ask for some dry food for their children!

But as soon as they approached, they would be beaten mercilessly by the palace soldiers, and wailing was heard everywhere! The heart-wrenching cries of the children pierced Ye Haoran!

As winter approaches, the fate of these hundreds of thousands of half-naked refugees is certain!

Chu Xiong and Li Xian saw that Ye Haoran had a gloomy face and was silent, and mistakenly thought that his interest was disturbed by the refugees. The two of them looked at Ye Haoran nervously, not daring to breathe!

Ye Haoran was silent for a moment, and ordered Chu Xiong to order the soldiers to stop beating!

He came from a thousand years later and had never seen such a scene of starving people everywhere!

"Master Chu, Master Li, I have an unwelcome request. I wonder if you two can agree to it?"

"If Marshal Ye wants to plead for them, I and Lord Chu are probably powerless!" Li Xian seemed to have guessed Ye Haoran's thoughts! He said helplessly!

"I am naturally aware of your difficulties. You just need to help gather the wealthy businessmen in Taiyuan outside the city!" Ye Haoran said sincerely!

"No problem! I'll leave it to you, Chu!" Chu Xiong agreed!

Li Xian hesitated and didn't say anything!

When everyone arrived outside Taiyuan City, Ye Haoran did not choose to enter the city, but instead set up camp outside the city with Yang Wei and Wu Zhang!

into the night!

Beside the campfire, Ye Haoran, Yang Wei and Wu Zhang sat together!

"Marshal Ye! Why did we set up camp so early today? We could have traveled dozens more miles!" Wu Zhang asked in confusion!

Along the way, the three of them gradually became familiar with each other and were no longer as reserved as they were when they first met!

"Marshal Ye has his own ideas. Why are you in such a hurry?" Yang Wei stuffed the barbecue in his hand into Wu Zhang's hand!

"General Wu, General Yang, do you think the Taiyuan rebels were guilty?"

When Ye Haoran asked this, Yang Wei and Wu Zhang stopped what they were doing at the same time and looked at Ye Haoran in shock!

The crime of treason! No doubt about it!

"I'm talking about those hundreds of thousands of soldiers!" Ye Haoran added firewood with a calm expression!

"Marshal Ye, what do you mean?" Yang Wei asked tentatively!

"The main culprit of the treason has been executed, and those soldiers were just following orders! Even if they were guilty, they have died and their crimes are forgiven! Why should their families be implicated?"

"I decided to exchange the ten thousand taels of gold bestowed by His Majesty into silver and food, and distribute them to the refugees in Taiyuan to help them survive this cold winter!" Ye Haoran expressed his thoughts!

"Marshal Ye, please think twice! This is a crime of deceiving the emperor!" Yang Wei hurriedly advised!

"I know you two generals are in a difficult situation. If His Majesty blames you, I, Ye Haoran, will bear the responsibility alone! You two can just say that I coerced you!" Seeing that Ye Haoran had made up his mind, Yang Wei didn't say anything else, but just sighed deeply!

Wu Zhang stared at Ye Haoran who stood up with a complicated look. His thin body was tall and straight under the moonlight!
