"How did this happen? Were these commoners controlled by Zhao Feng's troops? They are not allowed to come and collect the donations?"
Liu Yu stood up immediately with a furious expression on his face. He couldn't understand why the disaster victims everywhere would fight for a steamed bun.
I already have a bowl of rice for each person!
No one came?
"I care so much about the people, but Zhao Feng is suppressing them like this. He doesn't care about the lives of the people at all! Wouldn't this be…doing whatever he wanted and acting tyrannically! Did he want to be the second Dong Zhuo?!”
Qi Zhou was stunned and quickly waved his hand. It's not Lord Zhao's problem. It's because the commoners in Youzhou Province don't come to our charity hall at all…Many people passed by here these days, but they all left agilely.”
" W-walked away?!"
Liu Yu was dumbfounded.
"Why? Don't they want food?"
"I don't know. Maybe not."
"Teacher, why don't we go and see Lord Zhao Feng?”
Qi Zhou felt a little guilty, mainly because he wanted to take care of his teacher's emotions.
"I'm not going!"
Liu Yu immediately said in a deep voice. His expression was extremely ugly, and his beard fluttered on his old face.
A junior like him didn't come to see me?
But you want me to see him. What kind of logic is this?!
I came to Youzhou Province to check whether these commoners are living well!
"There must be something fishy about this! It was impossible for Zhao Feng's family property to support the annual opening of the granary. He must have sacrificed a large number of refugees to balance his grain reserves!”
Liu Yu stood up with her hands behind her back. Her expression was calm, but her heart was already burning with anxiety.
"Qi Zhou, go and ask around. No, go and invite a few commoners to my place. I want to ask them myself! If these commoners are wronged, as the descendant of the Liu family, I will definitely not sit idly by!”
Qi Zhou was taken aback, and a bitter expression immediately appeared on his face." Teacher, forget it..."
"Hurry up and go!"
"Sigh…"
Qi Zhou turned around and left. He called a few armored soldiers and went to the nearby village to find a few farmers and old women.
Not long after, everyone was gathered in his hotel. The guards in the courtyard brought over a few tables. Liu Yu came out of the room and poured water for everyone.
He walked up to an old woman, bowed slightly, and smiled." I'm Liu Yu."”
"He is a minister of the imperial clan and was once the governor of Youzhou. He should be considered your father and mother. I have returned this time to ask you why you have not come to collect food since I opened the charity hall for seven days.”
"Food?" The old woman's cloudy eyes suddenly flickered." Lord Zhao has already given us the food. Everyone and every household will receive it according to their work. Lord, you are no longer the provincial governor. Please tell us quickly…"
"Why should we hurry?"
"I'm weaving straw sandals at home. I can't rush! There is a guy who gathered many local soldiers to weave straw sandals together and sold a lot of food. If we can't win, we will suffer a huge loss.”
"Now that he has led his troops to attack the Dong Alliance, our family needs to weave more straw sandals to sell. Forget about the food from the charity hall. I beg you, what's the use of a bowl of rice?”
"This!"
Liu Yu was stunned.
Qi Zhou's expression changed.
This old woman was too straightforward!
"Teacher, in my opinion-"
Before he could finish, Liu Yu suddenly asked seriously,"Madam, I remember that millions of refugees entered Youzhou Province. Did they all survive?”
"Some got sick and died."
The old woman answered honestly. Closely after that, she added," But it has nothing to do with Lord Zhao Feng. When the able-bodied men of each family died, he would provide food for the widows and the elderly. He would arrange their residences. The able-bodied men could join the army or dig mines. The rest of them would be farming in the fields. This spring, the land of Youzhou Province would be turned into fertile soil!”
Fertile soil?
"Did Zhao Feng force you to say these words?”
"Eh? Your Excellency, although you were an official back then, you shouldn't frame me like this!”The old woman's eyes immediately widened, and she was a little angry.
She was quite afraid of Bing Yong, so even if she was a little angry, it was still obvious that she was weak inside.
However, the person standing beside her was not like that.
Beside her stood a able-bodied man in a short linen robe. This man had a big and round waist, a rough face, and a beard. He immediately straightened his back.
"Sir, what are you here for?!”
"Charity Hall? What was there to be kind about? Are you as rich as Lord Zhao?"
Me?
Liu Yu: "???"
What the f * ck, is this a problem?
You are refugees!
I'm just being kind!
"Lord Zhao's plan is to turn us from refugees into commoners. We work hard in exchange for money and food. We don't need anyone to give us a bowl of food!”
"Isn't it good to carry out such a plan?! Must you give alms? We are also people with hands and feet!"
The commoner scolded him without any restraint. Liu Yuren was instantly stunned.!
No need for charity?
You are refugees…
Zhao Feng's countermeasure actually had such an effect?!
"He, he, this…"
Qi Zhou was furious." How dare you!”
The strong man was shocked. The guard beside him came forward with a knife. His expression was extremely serious and he was about to make a move.
A deep and angry voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"How dare you!"
A group of black-armored soldiers appeared outside the door. The one leading them was the general of Ji County, called Dian Wei.
His body was huge and his aura was so powerful that it made people shudder. He was like an iron tower as he walked directly in front of Liu Yu and knocked the two generals of Qi Zhou to the ground, one in each hand.
"Milord, after entering Youzhou, my lord should act as the host and invite you to the government office.”
Liu Yu's face turned pale. Why did he go to the government office?!
Could it be that Zhao Feng wants my 50,000 dans of grain? This is all my family property!
"Who are you? Do you know that I was the provincial governor of Youzhou?”
Dian Wei grinned.
"You'll know when you go. Mr. Cai Yong, please go too.”
His tone was very heavy. A few days ago, Zhao Feng already knew that this old fellow was in Youzhou, but he didn't know what he wanted to do.
Later on, he heard that it was a charity hall that opened a warehouse to release grain, so he didn't disturb him. He would wait until the grain was distributed. In the end, he heard that Liu Yu's people had come to take him away.
Considering that Liu Yu was really a benevolent person, Zhao Feng didn't use troops and only called Dian Wei to invite people.
This Liu Yu was also very useful.
