Chapter 688 Narration
Zhou Hu ate the steamed bun and looked at Han Shi and the others and said, "Now that we've arrived at your site, I'll just follow your arrangements."

"Brother Zhou, I heard that you went to Yuzhou? Why did you suddenly enter the mountains? Could it be that you can't stay in Yuzhou?" Dou Dou looked at him and asked curiously.

"It's not that I can't stay, but I have to come. To be honest, the reason why I went into the mountain this time is for you." Zhou Hu looked at Han Shi and the others and said bluntly.

"For us?" Han Shi looked at him and asked.

"Yes, it's for you. I don't know if the three brothers have heard about the outside world?" Zhou Hu wiped his mouth and looked at the three and asked back.

"I do know a little bit. I heard that there were several riots in Qingcheng and Yongcheng last year when there was a hailstorm, and many people died. So after the beginning of spring this year, many victims of the disaster ran into the mountains."

"That's right. If you haven't seen that scene, it's not an exaggeration to say that the blood flowed like a river. I don't know how many people were killed by the hailstorm and heavy snow last year. Pity those victims." Zhou Hu sighed a little.

"Yes! This world is becoming more and more difficult." He Hui echoed.

"Natural disasters can't be helped. Now that you know something about Yongcheng and Qingcheng, have you heard about the situation in Yuzhou?" Zhou Hu looked at the three of them with some expectation in his heart.

The three brothers Han and Shi looked at each other and laughed. "Have you heard something about it? It is said that His Highness the King Xian is still in Yuzhou before he is dead?"

"Yes, and Brother Han also knows His Highness the Wise King."

Han Shi's eyes flashed when he heard this: "Are you talking about the Uncle Li we met on the way to escape?"

"Brother Han has a good memory. You are right that Uncle Li is His Highness the King Xian. Since he entered Yuzhou, he quickly took control of Yuzhou with the support of General Sun. Yuzhou has been under his governance in the past two years. Next, it is a place to live and work in peace and contentment. After hearing the news, countless victims rushed to Yuzhou."

"We've heard a little bit about this, how did His Royal Highness settle those victims?" Dou Dou looked at him and asked curiously.

"At first, there were only a few victims, so of course they were allowed to enter the city. Later, the number of victims increased, and neither the city nor the county could accommodate the number of victims. So the civil servants formulated a series of decrees based on the actual situation. , register every disaster victim in the register, and at the same time allow them to go to the city to find work as long as they have five people as guarantees. For those who cannot enter the city, the government will give porridge once a day, and the standard of porridge is to wipe chopsticks Since this year, the government has issued some new regulations to mobilize the victims. As long as they are willing to build roads, bridges, repair city walls, open up wasteland and cultivate land for the government, the government will not only take care of their meals but also provide them with food. Grain seeds, and sent troops to protect them, everyone is saying that it only takes three years, as long as we persist for three years, we can solve the problem of food and clothing for the victims. You don't know the current scene in Yuzhou, which is prosperous." Zhou Hu tried his best to put it into perspective. The description of what he saw was given to Han Shi and the others.

He Hui turned his mind slightly and said with a smile; "In this way, this His Royal Highness is really worthy of a virtuous word."

"Yes! King Xian is a rare good king. Brother Han should know something about his character."

Han Shi nodded in response to Zhou Hu's gaze; "Although Yuzhou City is very prosperous, I'm afraid it can't feed so many victims, right?"

"Naturally, it is impossible to support them, especially those big households are all iron roosters. Even if people from the government came to lend them, they would not be willing. Last year, in order to ensure that the victims of the disaster survived the winter safely, the virtuous king killed many people and refused to hand them over. Food people." Zhou Hu still sighed a little when he mentioned last year's winter.
