Warlords: I just made a little fortune, but I didn’t build a country.

Gushan Town, the whole mountain town was covered with snow. Outside this Gushan Town, there was a long team marching. This team was none other than Qin Lin’s 7th Infantry Army soldiers.

"I'm telling you, this thousand-mile march, if we complete the entire journey, will be a huge test for the troops in terms of willpower, marching ability, and everything else."

Deng Wenzhong was wearing a military coat and speaking with white air coming out of his mouth.

"Of course," Qin Lin responded, "In freezing weather, the soldiers are carrying cold weapons and walking in the half-meter-deep snow. It really tests their willpower. I'm not afraid of the 7th Army now, I'm afraid of the th Column. They can't stand this hardship!"

"Please rest assured, young commander."

Yang Wenbin said, "Most of the soldiers in the five columns have actually experienced a large-scale march, some of which were thousands of miles away, and they had to avoid the Japanese's multiple defense zones. It's not easier than this."

"Where are we now?" Qin Lin asked, looking at the vast expanse of white snow. Without professional personnel, it would be difficult to find the right direction in this vast snowy mountain.

"Gushan Town, 30 miles to Chifeng."

"It will be soon," Qin Lin said. "Let's work harder and try to reach Chifeng today to join the five columns. I think everything is in chaos outside now. Our 70-man army lost contact after entering the snow-capped mountains. The imperial court and the Japanese must have thought that we passed through the snow-capped mountains and returned to the northwest through Meng Province. They would never have thought that we would walk thousands of miles through the snow-capped mountains to attack them."

"Hahaha."

Deng Wenzhong laughed and said, "Who would have thought that in order to give the people an explanation, the young marshal would cross thousands of miles of snow-capped mountains to prove the determination of our Qin army soldiers to fight against the Japanese country!"

"Young Marshal."

A reconnaissance company commander came quickly across the snow to Qin Lin and said, "We found that in the Gushan Town ahead, there are thousands of people who are running out of food due to natural disasters. Now they are facing a life-and-death situation!"

"How much food do we have left?"

Qin Lin asked. Although they brought enough food for this march, walking in the snowy mountains was very physically demanding, so the original calculation of one pound of food per person per day was not enough for the soldiers, so Qin Lin had to see if there was any surplus food. He couldn't joke with the lives of the soldiers.

"enough."

The logistics captain said, "I calculated that we still have at least 20 kilograms of surplus food."

"Let's go to Gushan Town and have a look."

As they spoke, the army began to head towards Gushan Town, as they happened to need to pass through Gushan Town.

It took us about half an hour to reach Gushan Town. All the houses here are made of piled loess. There are almost no two-story buildings, only mud houses. However, the town looks quite big, no wonder there are thousands of people there.

But when I walked into the town, there was no one there. Everyone was staying at home because it was too cold. There was no food to eat, so why would they walk around? They would rather die at home.

"Cooking Company, take out the food and set up the porridge shed."

"clear."

The cooking company quickly opened 20 porridge shops. As the aroma spread, many people began to open their doors and come out, because the aroma of the white rice porridge was a fatal temptation to them at this time.

"Master Jun!"

An old man with a pale face was holding a ragged little girl's hand. He stretched out his shaking hand. It was unclear whether he was shaking from hunger or cold. He said, "Can you give me a bowl of rice? My little granddaughter hasn't eaten for two days. Even half a bowl will do. Let her die full and not starve to death like her father."

"Don't worry, old man."

The captain of the cooking company said, "My young marshal is kind-hearted. All this porridge is for you to eat. You can line up and get some porridge. There is no limit on the number of bowls you can have. You can have as much as you want."

"oops!"

"He is really a living Bodhisattva! Here comes a living Bodhisattva!"

When they heard about the free food, the whole town started to get excited and came out of their rooms with bowls from home, but most people still used basins to serve!

"I want a bowl, I want a bowl too, and me too!"

Everybody crowded together, fearing that there would be no one behind. At a glance, there were more than a thousand people, at least over two thousand, or even more, because people kept coming out. Qin Lin shook his head at this scene. In today's world, this scene was already the norm. Not to mention those in remote areas, even in Kyoto there were people starving to death. Now in the entire Daqian country, only the Northwest had very few people starving to death, because on the one hand, the Northwest's grain production had increased dramatically, and on the other hand, there was a support plan, so starving to death was a rare thing for people in the Northwest.

According to statistics from a few years ago, there are now 5.5 million people in the entire Daqian Kingdom, and it is probably no less than 5 million people now. Therefore, with the grain output of Daqian Kingdom, at least one-third of the people will go hungry, and millions of people will starve to death every year.

"boom!"

The sound of gunfire brought everyone back from hunger and they gradually regained consciousness. Only then did they hear that they were told to line up for porridge, otherwise they would not be able to eat.

For such disaster victims, they must be suppressed with a strong attitude, otherwise blind kindness will only hurt yourself.

Two hours later, all the villagers received the porridge. Everyone either squatted in the corner or sat under the eaves, drinking the boiling hot rice porridge in this snowy day. Before the porridge was cooled by the freezing weather, they had already eaten it.

"Really delicious."

The villagers licked their lips. Normally, even if there were no natural disasters, these villagers could only drink white rice porridge during the Chinese New Year. Now it was truly the arrival of the Bodhisattva!

"Another bowl, old man."

The company commander of the kitchen staff gave the grandfather and grandson, who had just asked for rice porridge, another full bowl of rice porridge, which made the old man so grateful that he almost knelt on the ground to thank them.

"Young Marshal."

At this time, Qin Lin came over, quickly helped the old man up and said, "We serve the people as soldiers, but you can't even get food to eat. It's our incompetence!"

"What are you talking about, Living Bodhisattva?"

The old man said, "If it weren't for you, we would all starve to death!"

"What's going on?" Qin Lin asked. "How come there is no surplus food in such a big town? Even if there is no surplus food, the game in the mountains can last through the winter."

"Hey!"

The old man sighed and said, "It's all because of this damn war. There were natural disasters in the past few years, and we relied on hunting and forest resources to survive. But when the war came, this mountain was bombed by planes, and all the birds and animals in it were scared away. The forest was also burned to ashes. We couldn't survive!"

“How many people are there in your town?”

"Less than 4,000 people, but more than 1,000 people starved to death!"

After learning about the situation, Qin Lin did not expect that the impact of the war could spread so far. He asked the logistics department to take out 6 kilograms of food for the villagers of Gushan Town. These 6 kilograms of food would be enough to sustain them for two months. In two months, spring would come and they would be able to survive.

"how many people?"

"2100 people."

"Then we can take out another 3000 kilograms of food and distribute 30 kilograms of food per person. I believe that they can get through it. This is all we can do."

"clear."

After the food was distributed, all the villagers called Qin Lin a living Bodhisattva. Then Qin Lin left with his army. After the army left, a food robbery incident occurred in Gushan Town, demonstrating the law of the jungle to the fullest!
