Chapter 99： The first appearance of refugees

Chapter 99 The First Appearance of Refugees

Yin Miao's mood is very calm at the moment, in fact, after careful calculation, most of her space upgrades are due to Xiao Xuan, which means Xiao Xuan is raising that space...

After    entered the space again, since the number of small taro brought out of the space had exceeded 10,000, Yin Miao received another system reward-an automatic noodle grinder.

"Just by pouring wheat into it, will a certain amount of flour come out?"

Yin Miao looked at the small flour mill.

Like the oven, the flour grinder can run in the space for two hours a day, and it is still a magical machine that can work automatically just by pressing the start button.

It can grind the noodles automatically. Yin Miao thinks it is very good. You must know that every time you make pasta at home, Yin Bowu and a few people have to grind the noodles for a whole day in advance.

【Yes, not just wheat, rice can also be put in. 】The system said.

"Rice is rice noodles, right? I want to eat rice noodles."

Yin Miao remembered the chicken noodle at the gate of the school that she had eaten when she was in school. The texture and taste made her miss it so much.

【Yes, the system reminds you that the space should be upgraded today. 】

"...I think for you, the space should be upgraded any day, right?"

Yin Miao supported her forehead, but still took out the box of jade and walked towards the Bagua Pavilion.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully upgrading the space. Since then, food crops in the space have matured every 14 days. 】

After the familiar prompt sounded, Yin Miao looked at the open space where the grain was piled up, and sure enough, the grain that was about to mature in one day had already been piled up there in advance.

The golden oven of the local tyrant also caught Yin Miao's eyes, and she remembered the roast chicken and sweet potatoes she had put in it earlier.

"This is... too fragrant."

After turning on the oven, a strong aroma of roasted chicken came along with the smell of roasted sweet potatoes. Looking at the roasted chicken that was evenly roasted everywhere, Yin Miao couldn't help but broke off a chicken thigh and gnawed it.

The oven baked food was just right, unlike her occasional burnt somewhere. The taste is still the same as before, but the texture is much better.

Roasted sweet potatoes are also golden and honeydew. After eating a lot, Yin Miao put the unfinished roast chicken in the fresh-keeping box, and the sweet potatoes were distributed among the two pigs and chickens in the space.

After a few days like this, the impact of the locust plague on the village finally gradually diminished. Taxes were paid on the surplus grain at home, and no one in the county could afford the grain. Many villagers lived by eating locusts. . As for how much food can be harvested from the fields this year, it is entirely up to God's will.

Wei Lizheng thought that the current situation of Changling Village was bleak, but after hearing about the situation in several nearby villages, he couldn't help but be even more shocked.

In several villages such as Huangjia Village and Damu Village, starvation has begun to occur, and many people have escaped and become refugees, and the rest are not much better in the village. Among them, the worst It is the home of several landlords.

Due to the intensification of hunger, three of the slightly weaker landlords’ homes have been emptied by the extremely hungry villagers, and even killed.

Wei Lizheng was stunned after hearing about it, but luckily they had no landlord in Changling Village.

On this day, a few ragged people came from outside Changling Village. After some inquiries, Wei Lizheng discovered that these people were all nearby villagers.

"Village Chief, please give me a few bites of food to eat, we can't live any longer."

Wu Chunlai pleaded with a bitter face.

"Yeah, it's a few miles around, and your Changling Village seems reasonable. Our corners are all deserted."

"Help, the children in my family are starving to the point of coma..."

“…”

Looking at the seven or eight people kneeling on the ground, Wei Lizheng hesitated.

But it's difficult in their village now!

Not to mention asking the villagers to hand out food.

Yin Miao happened to be watching this scene outside the village wall. The villagers pointed and pointed, but she was not very happy.

She had a backlog of food, but she had to watch someone starve to death.

"The officials who came to relieve the disaster should be here soon."

Xiao Xuan originally came out to walk the chickens with Yin Miao. Seeing Yin Miao's expression at this time, he also comforted in a low voice.

It’s just that the disaster relief didn’t work in his opinion.

Yin Miao turned around and Xiao Xuan left the crowd before asking, "Disaster relief? Is it just a pretense?"

Based on the description of the court officials of the Nanxiao Kingdom in the original book, she probably guessed something.

"You can see clearly, this food is already pitifully small after being distributed layer by layer. I also asked my people to make up some of it. Although there are not many, that's all I can do."

Xiao Xuan replied.

"Make it up? Then you're not using your own things to put money on the court's face? It's not worth it."

Yin Miao and the two walked to the middle of an empty wheat field, where no one would hear them. It's just that she couldn't agree with Xiao Xuan's approach. Even if she wanted to help the people, she couldn't let others take advantage of it in vain.

She didn't have a good impression of the court.

Looking at Yin Miao who was instantly furious, Xiao Xuan chuckled softly: "What if I said that the last tier of officials who distribute food are all my people?"

His people?

Yin Miao was stunned, then his purpose was...

"The oil and water that can be scraped have been scraped off by the above. No one cares about this last step. I just want to take this opportunity to make a name for myself. Even if it is gold, it is to put gold on our own faces."

Xiao Xuan was calm, like his expression when he was playing chess.

Yin Miao suddenly had an epiphany and said, "Can I also participate?"

"What does Ah Miao want to participate in?"

Xiao Xuan looked at Yin Miao.

"I...I also want to help those people. If you don't have enough food, I'll make it up for you. You don't need to give me money."

Yin Miao laughed and said, if she could use Xiao Xuanzhi to get rid of some of the backlog of food and still be able to help people, then it would be like killing three birds with one stone.

"A Miao's idea is okay, but..."

Xiao Xuan knew that Yin Miao's method was of great benefit to him, but he was also worried that Yin Miao was too stubborn.

The little girl has too many secrets, and she just wants to help him, not to share it with him.

"Then it's settled, take me one, and I will do good deeds and accumulate blessings."

Yin Miao interrupted Xiao Xuan's words.

Just kidding, how could she let this opportunity slip away?

"If A Miao insists, I will let people arrange everything. If you are not busy recently, you can really bring A Miao to have a look."

Xiao Xuan squatted down and picked up a chicken that wanted to peck the wheat field after pecking the bugs.

"Can I go too?"

Yin Miao is of course willing, because she knows that Xiao Xuan's arrangement has never disappointed her.
