Chapter 399

"Husband, what should we do?"

Li Xueyan asked anxiously.

This is indeed a troublesome matter.

Millions of refugees!

Stretching for nearly a hundred miles!

They are all hungry ghosts now, and no amount of food is enough to fill this bottomless pit.

"What to do? Of course, accept them all!" Qin Mu smiled meaningfully: "The Great Tang imperial court is self-righteous, thinking it gave me a big trouble, but it is actually a big gift!"

"A big gift? Brother-in-law, what do you mean?"

Princess Changle asked curiously.

"Tell me!"

Qin Mu didn't answer, his eyes fixed on Wu Zetian, who had been silent.

Wu Zetian's face flushed, her heart beat fast, and her breathing became rapid.

She didn't expect Qin Mu to suddenly pay attention to her.

After steadying her mind, Wu Zetian said nervously: "The Emperor's meaning should be that he wants to incorporate these millions of refugees into Yizhou and let them become the people of Great Qin. In this way, our Great Qin can increase by millions of people, which will be extremely beneficial for future development."

"So that's it! Meiniang, I didn't expect your political mind to be so good, to be able to see so far."

Li Xueyan's eyes were full of appreciation.

It seems I didn't misjudge the person!

Meiniang is indeed the best candidate to assist the husband!

"No, no, no, the Emperor must have thought of these things long ago, I just said what the Emperor should say."

Wu Zetian shook her head shyly, looking at Qin Mu with flickering eyes, looking forward to Qin Mu's praise.

But Qin Mu didn't show any expression, still looking at the millions of refugees silently.

Wu Zetian's excited mood instantly fell to the bottom.

It must be that I didn't do well enough for the Emperor to ignore me.

Meiniang!

Must cheer up!

"Mu'er, millions of refugees, it is difficult to accept them all into Great Qin at once."

Empress Zhangsun said meaningfully.

She naturally understood that Great Qin currently had some new crop products.

For example, pork and sweet potatoes.

But no matter how much food there is, if it is spread among millions of refugees, it will become insignificant.

If you don't think of a way to distribute food effectively, not only will you not be able to bear so many refugees, but perhaps unexpected riots will occur.

"Of course, the method has already been thought of."

Qin Mu nodded faintly.

Just at this moment.

Zhang Juzheng and General Yue Fei Fei walked over in a hurry.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the sweet potato porridge shed has been built, a total of 231 porridge sheds have been built, and the meat soup has been prepared, ready to accept refugees at any time." General Yue Fei Fei arched his hands.

"Very good!"

"Pass my order, let the refugees enter the city in batches, 20,000 people per batch."

"Also, put a handful of sand in every pot of sweet potato porridge and meat soup, no mistakes allowed!"

After Qin Mu finished speaking, General Yue Fei Fei and Zhang Juzheng turned and left.

"Making sweet potato porridge and meat soup I can understand, but why put sand in it? In this way, wouldn't it be hard for the refugees to swallow when they eat?"

"Meiniang, do you know?"

Princess Changle turned her head, looking at Wu Zetian with curious eyes.

"This..."

Wu Zetian was also full of confusion, thinking for a long time, but didn't know what it meant.

Never heard of adding sand to porridge for disaster relief.

What does this mean?

Empress Zhangsun and Li Xueyan looked at each other, also full of confusion.

"The reason is simple, I just want to make it hard for them to swallow!"

Qin Mu said.

"Ah? Brother-in-law, why? Just because they are refugees from Great Tang?"

Princess Changle looked at Qin Mu incredibly.

She knew that Qin Mu had an irreconcilable hatred with Great Tang, but that was only aimed at Li Er and those upper-class nobles.

Now treating these refugees like this, and even doing it on purpose, made Princess Changle unable to understand.

She wasn't the only one who couldn't understand.

Empress Zhangsun, Li Xueyan, and Wu Zetian were also confused.

"Look at these refugees! Look at their eyes, look at their thin bodies. When people are about to starve to death, it is very scary. Do you believe that if you call a refugee in, he can drink a whole pot of meat soup clean, even if he is full to death, he will definitely drink it desperately."

"A refugee is like this, there are millions of them in front of us, if each of them eats to death, I guess this time will become their last meal!"

"Adding sand to sweet potato porridge and meat soup is to make it hard for them to swallow, to keep them rational, and while maintaining the lowest physical needs as much as possible, no longer have desire for food."

"This can ensure that the refugees will not be full to death, and can distribute food more effectively."

"According to my calculation, the sweet potatoes and pork harvested this time are enough for Great Qin to digest these refugees."

Hiss!

Qin Mu's words made everyone gasp.

Especially Empress Zhangsun and Wu Zetian.

They were born with keen political sense and had seen scenes of refugees scrambling for food.

When a person is about to starve to death, he will lose all reason.

There is nothing in his eyes except food.

The so-called 'exchanging children to eat' is just a few words in history books, but these are real existences.

Exchanging one's own flesh and blood, that is a pile of meat in the pot!

The cruelty can be seen.

Great Tang also had several disasters and had also provided disaster relief.

But almost every time it was a mess.

Those starving refugees would not wait in line honestly, and would never leave honestly after receiving food.

They would stuff things into their mouths desperately until they reached their throats.

But the refugees behind would not watch the food being eaten, they were afraid that the food would be eaten up, afraid that it would not be their turn.

Because of this.

Every disaster relief scene was comparable to a war scene!

Some people even killed each other just to get a little more food.

People are always selfish animals!

Especially in desperate situations!

The Great Tang imperial court didn't know how many ways they thought of, how much manpower and material resources they spent, but they didn't solve the problem of maintaining refugee order, and even violent conflict events occurred. ===== CHAPTER 401 =====
