Huang Mingyuan rushed around Xingyang County for several days, and finally blocked all the breaches in Xingyang County.
According to the mouth of the local garrison and the people, Huang Mingyuan, who was prime minister, immediately passed on the two sides of the Yellow River to block the collapse of the Yellow River.
Most people can¡¯t understand how someone as high-ranking as Huang Mingyuan could risk his life for the common people at the bottom, but this incident finally gave the displaced Henan people a sense of comfort. These simple people regard Huang Mingyuan as a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering and disaster, and they also push Huang Mingyuan's reputation to its peak.
It was almost the end of mid-October, and the heavy rain that lasted for nearly two months finally came to an end, and the raging floods also dissipated.
After the flood, there were millions of people on both sides of the Yellow River waiting for food. These people lost all their belongings due to the flood. Without government relief, they might not be able to survive even three to five days.
But the government couldn¡¯t come up with enough food.
The grass market beside the Yellow River is full of scenes of people buying and selling. First there are children, and then there are women. Rows of women and children were taken to the edge of the grass market like livestock. The traffickers who came and went treated them like livestock, buying or selling them. The pretty ones were all sold as slaves to wealthy families or sold into brothels, while the average-looking ones were not that good either, and I don¡¯t know where they were sold.
No one wants to let his wife and children be traded like animals, but he really can¡¯t survive.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??
Huang Mingyuan walked all the way, and I really couldn't bear to watch it.
At a refugee settlement, Huang Mingyuan saw a group of refugees fighting and immediately ordered his subordinates to disperse them. These people's eyes were red and their faces were ferocious, looking like ghosts.
After dispersing the crowd, Huang Mingyuan found a group of people fighting for a pile of Guanyin soil.
I have only seen Guanyin soil in history books before, but this time I really saw it. Guanyin soil cannot be digested and absorbed by the human body. It will not be fatal if eaten in small amounts, but it will cause abdominal distension and make it difficult to defecate. Since it has no nutrients and cannot be digested, most people who are famine will still die after eating it.
At this time, a little boy grabbed a handful of Guanyin soil and stuffed it into his mouth while no one was paying attention. After Huang Mingyuan saw it, he knocked the Guanyin soil out of his hand. The boy didn't cry either. He lay on the ground and continued to lick the Guanyin soil.
Huang Mingyuan¡¯s eyes became moist when he saw it.
"Folks, you can't eat this Guanyin soil. If you eat it, you will die."
But no one paid attention to Huang Mingyuan's words. Their faces were dull and lifeless.
An old man leaned on a stick and said, "Noble sir, this Guanyin soil will only die if you eat too much, but you won't starve if you eat it." The old man actually started to sob.
"Please let us eat, please!"
¡°As he spoke, the old man actually knelt down, and the others also knelt down.
Huang Mingyuan looked at the people kneeling on the ground, and his heart was as sharp as a knife. This is the prosperous age, this is the empire. Such an empire and such a prosperous age are of no use to the common people.
Huang Mingyuan could not stop anyone, so he could only give all the food he brought to these victims.
"Dai Zhou, the county really doesn't have any food to help the victims."
Dai Zhou's face darkened and he said: "Prime Minister, the entire Xingze County was submerged in this flood, including several granaries. There is really no food in the county."
"What about Xingyang County? Xingyang County is a superior county, and there are sufficient grain reserves in the county. They can't give any support to Xingze County."
When it comes to the county, Dai Zhou is even more helpless.
"Prime Minister, there is grain in the county, but the prefect dare not touch it. Moreover, most of the granaries are under the direct management of the court, and the prefect cannot touch them at all."
Huang Mingyuan knew that what Dai Zhou said was true. Although major granaries such as Liyangcang and Luokoucang were scattered everywhere, they were all directly under the central government. He can't even control himself, let alone a prefect.
Huang Mingyuan said nothing and continued to move forward.
In another refugee camp, the same tragedy and similar chaos.
"The head of my family feels sorry for you that you have no way to survive, and specially ordered me to come to rescue you. For a woman, I will give you five liters of millet, first come, first served. I want a hundred people. If there are more, I will not give up."
Hearing the news, the victims almost broke their heads and rushed forward to grab. For five liters of millet, selling their wives and daughters was nothing. There are also people who don¡¯t have wives or daughters to sell, but they can grab them.
The scene was extremely chaotic for a time. In order to survive, people still had toWhat do you care about?
"My millet, I got it in exchange for my wife"
Looking at this mess, Huang Mingyuan didn't even dare to stop it.
Huang Mingyu, who was riding on the horse, looked at the scene and said with an expression of disbelief: "Brother, are you selling people as livestock?"
"You can survive as an animal, but you can't survive as a human being."
Huang Mingyu asked cautiously: "Brother, are these women going to be sent to rich families to be maids?"
"I have no idea."
Does it mean anything whether it is or not?
"Guanyin soil, sell Guanyin soil, the best Guanyin soil!"
A man who looked like a bastard was shouting from the side. Some people wanted to grab it, but they were knocked over by the thugs around them.
"My fine Guanyin soil is sifted finely, added with water, kneaded with wild vegetables into a dumpling, steamed, and when swallowed, it looks like a glutinous rice dumpling. I'm drooling myself. Twenty Guanyin soil dumplings can be exchanged for one woman Or young and strong laborers.¡±
"Give me!"
"Give me!"
As long as there is food, people will rush to grab it.
Among the refugees, food is life, dignity, ideals and everything.
Huang Mingyuan and his party rescued a little boy who fainted from hunger on the road. He looked to be no more than ten years old. There are actually countless little boys like this, and Huang Mingyuan who can be rescued is usually adopted. Although Huang Mingyuan sympathized with these people, he was also very realistic. These children were more useful than adults.
What made Huang Mingyuan pay special attention was that the little boy fainted from hunger and was carrying a package, and the package was full of books. Those who do not give up studying in such a desperate situation deserve his attention.
The little boy¡¯s name was Liu Rengui, and he looked like he came from a wealthy family. Although he was a little frightened when he saw Huang Mingyuan and others, he still managed to stay calm and try to be as generous as possible.
The little boy followed Huang Mingyuan and others all the way, telling Huang Mingyuan and others his stories along the way.
"An experienced uncle told me that the old skin must be removed from the bark, leaving the tender skin, which is then steamed and cut into sections, dried in the sun, ground into fine powder, and kneaded into vegetable balls with the leaf paste. Unfortunately, I have never eaten it. At first, people robbed all the bark."
"That is the young lady of a wealthy family in the county. She is very good-looking. I used to spend the whole night with them just for a sesame seed cake."
¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤
"I heard that the house next door changed all their children."
Huang Mingyu asked puzzledly: "Why change children?"
Liu Rengui looked like an idiot. Of course he wanted to eat. In a year of great disaster, who would raise children for others? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
