A disaster victim who had been a landlord but had all his food stolen from his family could not help but cry when he saw the food on the table!
It had been a long time since he had eaten such good food!!
Although he didn't recognize potatoes, he could tell that they were a delicacy just by looking at them and smelling the fragrance!
They had escaped from the land of the Third Jin and passed through countless states and counties. If they were lucky, they would be able to eat some thick rice porridge, which might have chaff or husks, but it didn't matter. No one cared.
It wasn't delicious, but it could survive.
If they were unlucky, they wouldn't even be able to drink a mouthful of soup.
They would often not be able to eat for a day or two, or even three days.
Sometimes, when they were starving, they would eat leaves and grass roots. As for the crueler human tragedies, they were indescribable.
However, there was actually a large basin of fragrant and steaming rice in the porridge stall!!!
This was not porridge at all, but dry rice!!!
Apart from that, there were also large basins of black pickles with white, fine salt particles on them.
The most shocking thing was that everyone could get some dishes. These dishes were all stewed potatoes!
There were some chicken bones in the stewed potatoes!!
The rice porridge with clear soup and little water was placed in the most inconspicuous position. If you were thirsty, you could drink it as water.
What kind of godly place was this?!
Heavens, the Darming Dynasty actually had such a miraculous place!!
Many of the disaster victims could not believe their eyes as they looked at the white rice in their bowls, the fragrant and steaming potatoes, and even the chicken bones!!
He hadn't eaten yet, and his saliva was about to drip down!!
In the end, they were even given two pieces of salted vegetables. It was as if they were afraid that the disaster victims would not eat enough and wanted to give them an appetizer!!
Pa, pa, pa!
The soldiers swung their whips and shouted,""Those who have finished eating, go that way. Hurry up and don't block the way!”
"The people behind you, line up properly and don't cut in line. You, yes, it's you. Get lost. Who allowed you to cut in line!”
"Quick, doctor, doctor, this man has fainted!!”
The scene was chaotic.
Zhu Xiong led his men and tried his best to maintain order.
The magistrate of Qingzhou led the people from the yamen to maintain order.
He finally understood why King Qi had summoned so many physicians to Qingzhou. It turned out that not only did he want to feed the victims, but he also wanted to treat them!
The magistrate of Qingzhou ordered his men to maintain order while his heart was in turmoil.
He had never heard of such a prince.
He could tell that King Qi truly cared for these people from the bottom of his heart. He did not want anyone to die.
When Marquis Jiangyin heard that the disaster victims had arrived in Qingzhou, he also took a carriage and quickly arrived at the west gate of Qingzhou City. This was where the most disaster victims had gathered.
Outside the west gate, a large number of simple houses had already been built. However, it was not enough. Only the old, the weak, the sick, women, and children could live in them.
Moreover, it was the most simple and crude kind of big common room.
But now, it was already very rare to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. There was no need to be so particular about it.
Fortunately, the weather was still relatively hot. The young adults could completely withstand this kind of weather.
Winter was the worst. People would really freeze to death.
The city gates were tightly shut. Except for the officials and soldiers who maintained order, no one was allowed to enter or leave.
Qingzhou City was King Qi's base camp, and he could not afford to mess things up.
If the disaster victims were allowed to enter the city, it would cause a huge conflict with the natives. At that time, it would be out of control.
The soldiers on the city walls were shocked as they observed the scene below.
The disaster victims continued to pour in like a tide.
There were already ten long lines at the porridge stall below, but it was still not enough.
The soldiers were maintaining order.
Below, some people were cheering and some were crying. The most heart-wrenching thing was that the children, who should have been innocent and carefree, were holding tightly to the clothes of their adults. They did not cry or make a fuss. They lined up quietly, as if they had grown up in a short period of time. They were so sensible that it made one's heart ache.
Someone was kowtowing to King Qi with a full bowl of rice.
Some scholars looked at the rows of simple houses and shouted," There are millions of buildings."
As for the first batch of disaster victims who had finished eating and recovered their strength, some helped with some work, some helped maintain order, some sat at the side to rest, and some were in a daze.
No one knew how long Qingzhou City could hold on.
However, this place was simply too good. It was like a fairy-like place. Everyone had the same thought at the same time. They wanted to stay here.
The smarter ones had already thought of ways to show off in front of King Qi and the other officials, to show that they had the strength and ability to work.
Some people even asked if the people who built the asphalt road still wanted it.
It was only at night that the order was completely stabilized.
The disaster victims also began to have the energy and spirit to discuss more things.
"What dish is this? It's so delicious. This is the first time I've eaten it in my life.”
"I heard from the people of King Qi's estate that this is called a potato. It's a new crop that His Highness King Qi has found. This dish is called stewed potatoes."
"Will there be more tomorrow? I really want to eat it again."
"I don't know…"
"Why is that road black? What is this road?”
"I heard from the soldiers that it's called an asphalt road. It's especially sturdy and won't become muddy even if it rains. This kind of road has been paved all over Qingzhou City and has just extended out of the city. This path was invented by His Highness King Qi. It truly was amazing.”
"Is there still food tomorrow?"
"I don't know…"
The night was getting darker and darker, and the disaster victims were still arriving one after another.
