Chapter 122: Shocked, Lost

Originally, Shu'an was the focus of attention of the entire Chang'an, especially this incident pushed Shu'an into the tide.

If it were the first day, they would still look at An Xuan Gong with novel eyes to help the refugees. However, when tens of thousands of refugees appeared today, some scholars couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Even if it's only half a bowl of porridge a day, these tens of thousands of people still need at least dozens of stones of food."

"If I remember correctly, the rice price in Chang'an has now risen to fifteen cents per dou."

"It would cost a few cents of money at the end of a day, and it seemed that there were not as many people yesterday."

......

A series of discussion sounded, and even though they knew it, they felt that there were more refugees in Chang'an.

Also, it seems that Mr. An Xuan still doesn’t know when the relief will be, so he must have a lot of money spent there.

Even if they were them, this would not be the case. After all, this money has no profit at all. As for reputation.

It is not important for these scholars. They value the interests more. The reputation brought by these refugees does not help them much in the scholars.

In addition to the lament of these scholars, there is also Li Junxian who once again received a report from the Hundred Cavalry. This time, Li Junxian was not calm.

"Why are there so many more people in just a few days?"

Li Junxian murmured seriously above his expression, "You must know that these are tens of thousands of people, not just a few hundred people."

If you are not careful, it may cause some confusion, especially in Chang'an, even he has some concerns.

After thinking about this, Li Junxian was also unable to sit still. He wanted to enter the palace to meet His Majesty. No matter the number of refugees or the involvement of An Xuan Gong, he could not decide.

.........

Imperial Palace Study Room

"Your Majesty, the number of refugees has exceeded 20,000."

Li Junxian said respectfully, with a hint of bitterness on his face. Before entering the palace, he did not simply enter the palace.

Instead, I first sent someone to learn about the situation of refugees in the suburbs of Chang'an. I didn't know it. I was shocked when I saw it because there were as many as 20,000 refugees gathered in the suburbs of Chang'an.

This means that there will be more refugees pouring into Chang'an today. After all, some people don't know that An Xuangong has helped refugees.

Thinking of the 20,000 refugees pouring into Chang'an City, even Li Junxian felt a little numb.

"How come there are so many refugees, and there is no chaos?"

Li Shimin's eyes became serious and said, because Li Junxian reported a few days ago that there were not many refugees entering Chang'an, so he naturally subconsciously believed that there were not many refugees.

Now there are more than 20,000 refugees at once. Even Li Shimin couldn't help but be shocked, because if these refugees riots occurred, it would be unimaginable.

After all, they are already refugees. If they can't survive, anything can happen.

"I don't know the reason, the number of refugees has increased dramatically in the past few days."

"If it is chaos, there is not much chaos. This is mainly related to Mr. An Xuan."

Li Junxian said with a wry smile that although many hundred cavalry were sent to the pass, no news was heard back.

As for the chaos, Li Junxian really wants to thank Duke An Xuan, because Duke An Xuan can at least make every refugee survive because of Duke An Xuan’s relief.

If you dig a little more grassroots, you can eat half full, and it is enough to have one half full. After all, the people's family is only half full.

But no one knows when An Xuangong will cancel the relief. After all, with the increase in the number of people, the food consumed on this day is not a small number.

If that time comes, it will be time for His Majesty to worry, and of course he will not be able to escape.

"Is this related to the Asian father?"

Li Shimin said softly with a hint of surprise, with doubts in his words, obviously not understanding why Yafu and these refugees were related.

Then Li Junxian said everything that happened in Chang'an during this period, from the first day of relief to today.

A clear understanding flashed through Li Shimin's eyes. It turned out that it was because Yafu helped the victims, but he also hesitated afterwards.

What Li Junxian could think of was unreasonable. This emperor couldn't understand. There was no chaos now, which did not mean there was no chaos later.

"Send someone to invite Changsun Wuji and others."

Li Shimin thought for a while before speaking, with helplessness in his words.

Even he didn't think about how to resettle these victims for a while, although he had already transferred food from various places.

However, I don’t know how long it takes to go there, and the situation in various places has not improved much, so I can only draw grain in the southern region.

However, the journey is too far, even if you take a water route, you can't send food to Chang'an in a short time.

Of course, Li Shimin naturally thought of these grain merchants in Chang'an. He couldn't help but gritted his teeth in his heart, and he felt a little like he was attacking these people. If it weren't for the fact that these grain merchants were involved in multiple aristocratic families.

When Li Junxian's figure slowly disappeared in the imperial study, Li Shimin couldn't help but think of his father-in-law in his eyes.

At least in the matter of relieving the victims, he owed this father a favor, although he wanted to reward him something.

However, this father Ya seems to be lacking in nothing. Li Shimin couldn't help but think of Qingque's words, as if this father Ya is living a better life than him.

However, before Li Shimin could come back to his senses, a hurried footsteps came again. This person was not Li Junxian who was going to pass the order.

At this time, Li Junxian left and returned, with his face full of worries. Even if Li Shimin couldn't help but thrust in his heart, he had some bad premonitions.

"Your Majesty, I received news from the pass from the Hundred Cavalry on the way out of the palace."

Li Junxian's serious voice sounded, and there was a hint of solemnity in his words.

"What news?"

Li Shimin's voice was heard with some anxiety, and he obviously knew that something must have happened.

"The locust plague appeared in the inner area."

Li Junxian did not hesitate at all, and he couldn't help but fall into a daze. Before, because Mr. An Xuan said that the drought was just the beginning, it seemed to be fulfilled now.

After the words were finished, Li Shimin was also stunned, and the picture of the white-haired figure writing the word in his mind appeared in his mind.

"Has I really been told by Father Ya?"

Li Shimin murmured in distractedness, and there was an indescribable emotion in his words.
