"We agreed that Guanzhong would be fertile for thousands of miles!”
"What about the rich land?"
"How can it be like this?" Qin Jiang looked at the scene in front of him and was a little dumbfounded.
This was simply the most broken place that had experienced war and famine.
It was completely different from what he had imagined.
It didn't take up the slightest bit of space.
At this moment, Qin Jiang's gaze moved slightly. He saw a black shadow secretly watching him from a corner.
"Who is it?" Qin Jiang became alert and shouted in that direction.
When the other party heard Qin Jiang's words, he immediately turned around and fled.
The imperial guards had already rushed over the moment Qin Jiang spoke.
They quickly stopped the black shadow and brought her to Qin Jiang.
"Milord, we have already caught the person.”The imperial guards had already brought the person over.
The person in front of him was slender, her clothes tattered, and her hair and face unkempt.
When she raised her head, Qin Jiang was slightly stunned.
It was a sallow and emaciated little girl.
When the little girl saw Qin Jiang looking at her, her eyes immediately became timid and her face was filled with fear. She turned around and wanted to escape.
"Don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person!" Qin Jiang shouted at her back as she left.
The girl then looked at Qin Jiang carefully.
Seeing her frightened expression, Qin Jiang turned to the guard beside him and said,"Go to the carriage and get some of our food for her!”
When the imperial guards heard Qin Jiang's order, they immediately turned around and returned to the carriage. They took out dried meat, cakes, and water.
"This…!" The girl looked at the food that Qin Jiang took out, and a hint of desire appeared in her eyes.
However, her gaze was still weak as she stood there foolishly.
"Eat!"
Qin Jiang stuffed the food into the girl's arms.
"This is for you!" Qin Jiang said gently.
"Really?" The girl looked up at Qin Jiang.
"How can this be fake? If you don't eat it, I'll take it away!”As Qin Jiang spoke, he pretended to take the food away.
The girl then hugged the food in her arms."I'll eat, I'll eat!"
After saying that, she immediately hugged the food and began to eat.
"Eat slowly, don't choke!" Qin Jiang saw that she was eating in a hurry, so he handed her a sip of water.
Soon, all the food was swept away.
" Burp…" The other party rubbed his round belly and revealed a satisfied smile."I'm full!"
"Little girl, why did you come out alone? Where's your family?”Qin Jiang lowered his head to look at the other party's face.
Upon hearing Qin Jiang's question, the other party's smiling face instantly froze, and then his eyes dimmed.
"They…they…they're all dead!”Her tone was timid and filled with unconcealable sorrow.
Qin Jiang's heart sank as he muttered to himself,""Are they all dead?"
"They all starved to death!" the little girl continued.
Qin Jiang looked around.
The entire place was filled with wild grass. There were also many white bones that were either human or livestock scattered all over the ground!
He didn't expect this disaster to be so terrifying!
He sighed faintly.
This disaster relief was still a little late!
However, he was also glad that Ying Zheng did not listen to what Li Si had said. Otherwise, he did not know how long this miserable scene would last.
However!
This scene was too cruel.
In the history books, every major disaster.
It was written that there were thousands of miles of white bones and red locusts everywhere.
Cannibalism, exchanging sons for food!
Fortunately, Qin Jiang came quickly this time. The King of Qin had also issued the decree of providing work as a form of relief.
Otherwise, that person would eat each other and exchange children for food!
This kind of thing was probably going to happen!
The little girl stopped talking after Qin Jiang asked about her family. She still looked at Qin Jiang curiously with her big eyes.
don't know
"Then do you know who else is nearby?”Qin Jiang continued to ask.
"Yes, there are more than 300 people left, but I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for more than a few days!”The little girl said to Qin Jiang in detail.
"There are still more than 300 living people left!" Qin Jiang frowned.
It was not just that his heart ached. His fief of 500 households had become 300 people.
Instead, he lamented the cruelty of the ancient natural disasters.
Five hundred households, at least two thousand people.
Now, there was only about one-tenth left.
It was too cruel!
"Bring me there!" Qin Jiang said to the little girl.
"Yes!" The little girl nodded and jogged to the front to lead the way for Qin Jiang.
The group of them walked for several thousand feet and finally arrived at the manor.
The arrival of Qin Jiang's group did not attract too much attention.
It wasn't that they were cold, but that almost everyone was lying on the ground with their eyes closed like corpses.
If not for the fact that they were still panting, Qin Jiang would probably have thought that they were dead!
The prolonged hunger had already exhausted their physical strength and energy.
Many people closed their eyes and waited for death!
"Those who survived are all strong and healthy young people. It seems that the old people can't take it anymore. Only these people are left waiting to die!”Qin Jiang's gaze fluctuated.
"It seems that this corn must be planted as soon as possible!”He clenched his fists and made up his mind.
As long as the corn in the portable farm was planted well, he would immediately take out a portion and promote it.
As long as the corn was promoted this year, it would be fully ripe and harvested.
Such a tragic famine would never happen again.
This was the only place!
He didn't know what other places were like!
The corn must be promoted!
But now, he still had to solve the problem of these people's food.
It was not only because these people were people from his fief, but more importantly, these people were also living people.
He had transmigrated from the modern world, and he was using these people as tools.
"Men!" Qin Jiang continued.
Immediately, imperial guards came to Qin Jiang's side to await orders.
"Quickly return to Xianyang and report the situation here to His Majesty. Please send someone to send 100 dan of grain over!”Qin Jiang ordered the guard beside him.
"Yes!" After the guard received the order, he quickly rode away.
100 dans of grain!
That was 10,000 catties of grain!
It was enough to feed 300 people for more than a month.
He didn't ask for too much.
For the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, this hundred dan of grain was not a lot.
It would definitely not be like what Li Si said, unable to take it out.
"You guys, go and take out half of the food we brought in the car and give it to them!”Qin Jiang continued to give orders to the other imperial guards.
100 dans of grain!
That was far away in Xianyang.
This round trip, plus the time needed to complete the procedures!
It would probably take two days!
He had to let these people have something to eat first to survive for two days.
Otherwise, if the food arrived and most of the people starved to death, then he would be stupid!
When the imperial guards heard Qin Jiang's order, they didn't move immediately. Instead, they reminded him in a low voice,""Milord, we didn't bring much food with us!”
"What if we give them all?" Qin Jiang said decisively.
It was more important to save the person in front of him.
