At this moment, the two hundred stewards of the porridge shop finished their instant noodles and soup and immediately started to make arrangements.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
The gongs and drums sounded, and the porridge shop opened!
Zhangsun Minzhi looked around at the black mass of refugees surging up.
Almost all of these refugees slept near the Gao family's porridge shop just to get the porridge earlier.
"The Gao family's porridge shop is open again. Miss Gao didn't lie to us!”
"Quick, quick, quick, have you heard? There was a grandson who donated a lot of noodles. As long as he came, he would be able to eat his fill.”
"You can eat noodles? Heavens, long live Young Master Zhangsun, Lord Zhangsun, and the Empress!”
The surname Zhangsun, everyone subconsciously linked it to Zhangsun Wuji and the Empress. After all, no one other than the Zhangsun Clan had the financial resources to let the refugees eat noodles.
However, the refugees didn't dare to do that at the moment. They only wanted to know if the Gao family's porridge shop had food.
Soon, hundreds of thousands of refugees flocked to the Gao family's porridge shop. Almost all the porridge shops outside the city that provided disaster relief had been eaten to the point of bankruptcy by them.
The entire Chang 'an City's City Defense Army was alarmed. They were watching the hundreds of thousands of refugees from the city walls. This was no small matter.
"Quickly check if those refugees are rioting!”
The commander of the City Defense Army looked delighted, as if he had been waiting for these refugees to riot." Send out an order to mobilize 30,000 elite soldiers and be prepared to suppress them at any time.”
When the City Defense Army was mobilized, countless refugees had gathered at the Gao family's porridge shop outside the east gate of Chang 'an City.
Their eyes lit up as they looked at and smelled the fragrance of the noodles in the porridge shop.
"Smells so good!"
An old man twitched his nose and swallowed his saliva.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten noodles."
The excited refugees were drooling at the corners of their mouths. They didn't expect there to be noodles. This was a pleasant surprise.
As expected of the young master of the Zhangsun Clan!
The bowls of instant noodles were moved to the table. Looking at the sparkling noodles inside, it was unprecedented.
"Everyone, the Turks have invaded, and we have been forced to flee south. Young Master Zhangsun cannot bear it.”
"That's why I did everything I could to get these instant noodles.”
Yin Shouxin stood on the stage and said to the group of refugees. There was no lack of Yin clansmen among the refugees.
"Sir, can I get some noodles? My child is starving.”
A woman with pale lips and a sallow complexion stood up with a baby in her arms. She had not received any relief porridge these days and had been feeding the baby with her own blood.
"Young Master said that the old, weak, sick, women, and children have priority in receiving noodles!”
Immediately after, under his shout, the meeting began.
Only when the bowls of instant noodles were brought to the women, children, and elderly did they believe that it was true.
"Child, quickly eat, quickly eat."
The woman quickly stuffed the noodles into the baby's mouth with a branch as a chopstick, afraid that the bowl of hot noodles would be snatched away.
Zhangsun Minzhi walked over from afar and comforted him,""Eat slowly. No one will snatch it from you. I guarantee you'll be full.”
"From today onwards, I, Zhangsun Minzhi, promise that none of the 300,000 refugees in Chang 'an City will starve to death.”
The woman was extremely touched. She immediately hugged the child and kowtowed to him in gratitude.
"Thank you, Young Master Zhangsun, thank you, Young Master Zhangsun!”
Zhangsun Minzhi helped her up and shook his head."We are all Han Chinese, so we should naturally lend a helping hand. If one side is in trouble, all sides will support.”
The commotion here attracted the attention of the refugees. If not for Young Master Zhangsun, who knew how many people would have died.
"This, this is Young Master Zhangsun?”
No one had expected this young man dressed in sackcloth to help them.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were filled with excitement and gratitude. The bowl of hot noodles in their hands not only warmed their hands, but also their hearts.
The next moment, the refugees swallowed the noodles in their mouths, put down the instant noodles, and knelt on the ground.
"We thank Young Master Zhangsun for your great kindness!”
Swoosh!
Hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of people were like dominoes as they knelt on the ground in unison. Their eyes were filled with reverence as they looked at Zhangsun Minzhi.
The commoners were very simple. They would like whoever let them eat their fill.
Zhangsun Minzhi was stunned and quickly shouted,"Everyone, please get up quickly.”
F * ck, if this scene was seen by the people of the Imperial Court, he would not be able to escape the crime of gathering a crowd to revolt and buying the hearts of the people.
Trees stand out in the forest, and the wind will destroy them.
He did not want to compete with Li Er for the position in the hearts of the people.
Looking at the young man's terrified expression, the refugees were even more moved.
"Young Master Zhangsun, if not for you, we would have died long ago. Please accept our bow.”
An old woman sighed. The Turks had burned and plundered their homes, and they had thought that the Imperial Court would help them if they fled to the capital.
Unexpectedly, the imperial court had only sent people to perfunctorily tell everyone that the national treasury had no grain and that they could open the granaries to provide disaster relief when grain was transported to the capital from other regions.
On the contrary, it was Miss Gao and Young Master Zhangsun who lent a helping hand.
Following that, Zhangsun Minzhi stood on the high platform and expressed his thoughts. He wanted everyone to be self-reliant.
If the Imperial Court did not help everyone, then he would have to rely on himself.
He chose an uninhabited, desolate, and decadent land 30 miles northeast of here.
Although the land there was barren and uninhabited, if Zhangsun Minzhi transformed it, its potential would be endless.
He was prepared to head over there tomorrow to reclaim the land, build houses, and cultivate the land.
Of course, those who were willing could go with him, and those who were unwilling could stay here.
