The refugees lined up in a long line, and more than a dozen large pots were placed in front of them. The fragrance of rice kept floating out of the pot, and many people secretly swallowed their saliva.

"It's better to have peace. There is no porridge to drink elsewhere."

"My man, can you eat a bowl of porridge a day?"

"I can't die if I'm enough, just live a life."

Another refugee next to him came over quietly and said in a low voice: "Everyone, I have heard that I used to save money and don't give me some porridge."

"Not giving porridge? What are you giving?"

"Butterbreads, white steamed buns, and pickles!"

"Nonsense!" Someone immediately retorted: "I have never heard of anyone who has steamed buns. Have you been hungry for a long time and been confused?"

"Hmph, who is confused? This matter is absolutely true. Duke Ji said that drinking porridge cannot do work. People should use labor for relief and eat enough to go to the military farm to build the city wall."

A 16 or 17-year-old boy on the side couldn't help but drool: "If I could eat steamed buns, let alone ask me to build the city wall, even if I was asked to charge and fight!"

"Go on the side, you're as thin as a chicken. Who can use you to fight? It's just that we have a hard life. We didn't catch up with the good times. After a while, when the porridge comes to the bowl, let's treat it as steamed buns."

The refugees were talking a lot, and Gu Zhenhua also arrived at the back of the porridge shed. Two soldiers were running over with rice bags.

"Wait." Gu Zhenhua called out the two soldiers, "How many meters did you use today?"

"Report to the Duke, you have cooked thirteen tans of rice!"

Xu Fang couldn't help but sigh and said, "Dude. There are no less than twenty porridge sheds like this. The food consumed every day is 300 to 400 dan. Although we have accumulated a little, no one can stand the consumption of this!"

Gu Zhenhua smiled slightly: "I don't need to consume it from today. Listen to me, don't send rice."

When the soldiers heard this, they were stunned and couldn't help asking: "Dude, the refugees' eyes are green. If the food cannot keep up, they will cause trouble."

"You don't have to worry about it, I have my own way."

As Gu Zhenhua said that, he and Xu Fang went to the porridge shed with Xu Fang. At this time, Zhou Yingjie was swinging a large spoon and distributing the porridge to the refugees. He scooped up a spoon from the bottom of the pot, and his eyes suddenly fell into the pot, and he silently poured back half a spoon.

"You are so fat, just eat less!"

I sent one away. The bowl behind me came up again.

"You are still young. Find something to eat by yourself."

"The bowl is broken and cannot be filled."

"Such an adult, give this spoon to the child!"

...

Zhou Yingjie kept making up various excuses, but the porridge in the pot was still decreasing rapidly and it had reached the bottom. After he scooped out the last bit with a spoon, countless people were holding big bowls, hungry for feeding.

"Mr. Jun, please give me a little more. Please."

"It's okay if you don't eat, so give it to your children!"

Everyone was crying and begging. Zhou Yingjie was also in trouble. He looked back at the soldiers and couldn't help saying, "Go and transport some rice, and then..."

"No need, An** has no food!"

While speaking, Gu Zhenhua walked over from behind with great strides. Xu Fang followed closely, and he was also confused. Logically speaking, we should try our best to appease these victims and people. How could we say that there was no food? Isn’t this forcing them to cause trouble? Isn’t it that the Duke of the State confused?

Besides, although the food is tight, An** has accumulated more than 100,000 yuan, and a batch can be transferred from Xuzhou, which is enough to support it for a month. It was a showdown so early. Isn’t this waiting for something to happen?

As Xu Fang expected, the word "no food" was like a bomb, exploded among the refugees. Some people heard this and collapsed to the ground and remained motionless. Some people didn't believe it at all, widened their eyes and were indignant. More people knelt down and begged.

"Sir, just give me some porridge. We don't want anything else. You can't watch us starve to death, right?"

"Yes, the Duke of Ji loves people as much as his son. Everyone has heard of it. Henan has suffered disasters. As long as the Duke of Ji is safe and sound under the rule of the Duke of Ji, they are all people of the Ming Dynasty. Please be kind!"

Gu Zhenhua walked in front of all the people, still expressionless, "There are times when the mountains of gold and silver are spent. More than 100,000 refugees flocked to Guide. Even if An** has a lot of food, there is not enough food. My Lord can only regretfully tell you that from today on, An** will not be able to provide everyone with food!"

ah!

This time, I stabbed the hornet's nest, and even the common people who had just drunk the porridge were not done. Everyone surrounded me, and hunger was enough to make people forget all their fears.

A few young people rushed out and shouted.

"Why don't you give food? Do you want to die and not save me?"

"Yes, the hearts of officials are so vicious, there is no good thing!"

"If we don't care about us, there is no way out anyway, so I'll go find the King of Chuang."

Gu Zhenhua sneered, waved his hand, and soldiers on both sides rushed out, pressing and shoving the young people in front of him.

Everyone else looked at it quietly, with dissatisfaction in their eyes. It would be fine if they didn't give food, why would they still arrest people? Xu Fang was even more worried: Duke, Duke, are you trying to force the people to rebel?

Gu Zhenhua looked at a thin guy and asked with a sneer: "You said that the officials don't have good things, so I'll ask you, what did I owe you?"

Although the boy was afraid, he also stubbornly said, "If you don't give food, you just don't care about our lives or death. Don't you owe us what you still want?"

"Your disaster was not caused by your master's disaster. You escaped to Guide, nor did you give it to me. On the contrary, you have been slaughtered for more than ten days in vain. As for this, it is not that my master owes you, but that you owe me! You still dare to question me with confidence now. Is this reasonable?"

"Mr., you can't say that. Everyone came to you after hearing about your name. I didn't expect you to ignore us anymore. Everyone is resentful in their hearts!"

"It's good to have resentment, but there's a debt to have a debt. I ask you, who has brought you to where you are today?"

"yes……"

This question really stumped these people, and no one knows how to answer it.

Gu Zhenhua smiled slightly: "You don't know. My Lord knows. You have fallen to this day, both natural disasters and **. But after all, it's **. The court plunders, thieves plunder you, and the landlords and powerful people even knocked on their bones and marrows. They snatched everything from you, but when it was time to get disaster, these people left you, let you starve, and let you die! Is this right?"

"Yes!" After a while of silence, someone finally shouted out: "The Duke of the People is right. God has the virtue of being a virtuous person. Can you show us a way to live?"

"Yes, please!" Countless people fell to the ground again, shouting loudly. The sound was heard far away. There were also women and children sobbing, and tears fell down.

"Everyone will get up. The same thing is said, there are injustices and debts. I am not a god, and I cannot create food to help you. An** doesn't have so much surplus food. If you want to survive, there is only one way..."

When everyone heard that there was a way, everyone's eyes widened. They stared at Gu Zhenhua tightly, not even dared to breathe and blink!

"It's very simple. Whoever steals your land will take it back, and whoever occupys your food will come back. In this kind of age, it's the prey of the weak. Do you want to be a cowardly lamb or a group of wolves depends on your choice!"

After hearing Gu Zhenhua's words, Xu Fang's intuition turned dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

From ancient times to the present, rulers have always told the people to obey and hear that religion even says that they should not practice this life and the next life. How could a superior openly encourage the people to rebel?

However, what surprised Xu Fang even more was that these ordinary people really listened to Gu Zhenhua's words, and many people nodded frequently. The young people who were leading the way even jumped out.

"Dude, you are right. If someone eats our meat again, we will bite it back and eat them!"

"Yes, who gave us today, we must take revenge and take back all the land, food and houses."

At this time, a white-haired old woman staggered out of the crowd and grabbed the ears of the young man who was leading the call.

"What else do you say? Is this human word? When did our Fang family do something ignorant? Those evil people have God to deal with them, so where can you, a little beast, talk too much?"

"Grandma, I can't even eat, what else do you care about?"

When the old woman heard this, she suddenly hugged her grandson and burst into tears.

"God, everyone says you are the most fair, why don't you beat a thunderbolt?"

The grief and anger cries made the people present feel resentful, and they couldn't help but cry. Some young people even clenched their fists, and flames burst out in their eyes.

"Everyone listened, and counted on God, but he was too busy and had no time to control the thousands of people. If you want to save your life, you can only save yourself?"

"Dude, tell me, how do you save me?"

"Yes, we all listen to you!"

Gu Zhenhua smiled and said, "I saw it very much. I just pick up weapons, kill them, and get the land that belongs to you. Just like Guide, build a military farm, every family has land to grow, everyone has a job, rely on a pair of hands to support the whole family. Those who work hard will have food and clothing, and those who are kind will have blessings. This is the true will of God. If God doesn't help, everyone will fight for it themselves!"

Gu Zhenhua's deep voice came from afar, and everyone heard it very clearly. After a while of silence, countless people immediately slapped and shouted loudly.

"The Duke of the State said so well, we all listen to you!"

"Kill back, grab our fields, and grab everything!"

The people were completely excited. At this time, Gu Zhenhua waved his hand and hundreds of soldiers ran over from outside with spears.

Hurry!

Piles of spears were thrown in front of everyone, and the bright spear tips were filled with cold air, and everyone's eyes were staring at these weapons.

"Everyone listened, over thirteen years old, under fifty years old, all men stood up and held their spears tightly. An**'s soldiers will fight back to Henan with everyone, help you get back the land and kill the gentry and landlords who bullied you. Come and get your weapons!"

All the young and strong men who could no longer hold back rushed over, and each of them had an extra red tassel gun in their hands. After getting the gun, the state of these ordinary people changed. They tried hard to straighten their backs and their eyes became more energetic.

Seeing these people, Zhou Yingjie couldn't help but dance: "The Duke of the State is good at ease. He can form a team in just a few words. At that time, we were impressed by his charm!"

Xu Fang couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Anyway, I'm dizzy when I look at it. If these people turn too far and make trouble, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"No, our prince has many ideas, look at it!"

Seeing that most young and strong men had obtained weapons, Gu Zhenhua smiled with relief and said, "Very good, everyone still has courage and blood. This is your precious wealth. From now on, according to the family group, 500 families in one group, draw a battalion of young and strong men as the pioneers of entering Henan. Everyone quickly grouped together, and after the division, there will be steamed buns at night!"

"Steamed bun?"

The refugees suddenly opened their eyes wide, like sharks smelling bloody smell, all boiling.

"Dude, didn't you say there was no food?"

"Oh, we understand, it's still food."
