The emperor declared me again

Chapter 593 How long can you last?
Hearing this, Mo Liyuan stopped hesitating immediately, because he felt that he was the emperor, he abandoned the common people a little bit, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but when Nian Yayi explained it like this, he thought it was not bad.

"Since it's agreed, don't change it anymore. Let's go to the southwest first, and then go to other places."

Mo Liyuan nodded.

After more than half a month of rushing, Nian Yayi and Mo Liyuan's group finally arrived in the southwest. Seeing the desolate scene in the southwest city, Nian Yayi and Mo Liyuan couldn't help being stunned.

They knew that the disaster was serious, but they didn't expect it to be so severe.

Mo Liyuan couldn't see it, so he went directly to the yamen and reported his identity, and the governor who got the news hurried forward to meet him.

Seeing that the governor was about to salute, Mo Liyuan raised his hand to stop the governor.

After everyone entered, Mo Liyuan asked: "I have no intention of revealing my identity, so I will pay more attention in the future. By the way, I think the city is very bleak, and there are no shops open on the street. This is still a prefectural city. Why? What's going on?"

"Mr. Huang Mo, to tell you the truth, this side is the most affected. The previous disasters have had a severe impact. You also know that the southwest is mountainous. When there is heavy rain here, it is easy to cause floods, and it is easy to cause the mountain to collapse. For the sake of the safety of the people, I want to bring them all to Fucheng. Anyway, Fucheng is much safer, but those ordinary people are worried about their fields, so they refuse to come to Fucheng.

If you think about it, before the disaster broke out, the situation was under control. Even if the harvest was not good, the court was exempted from taxes, and it would not be a problem if you wanted to get enough food and clothing, but I didn't expect it.
At that time, there was a flood, and several villages below were flooded. I quickly sent people to search and rescue with the county magistrates. Unfortunately, few people were rescued, and most of them were washed away. I don't know whether they are alive or dead.Some villages are better, but the fields are flooded, but the fields are the livelihood of the farmers, so all the hard work of the past year has been wasted. There are also several villages near the mountains that were also buried, and few people were rescued. . "

When the governor said it, he shook his head again and again, obviously unable to face multiple bad news.

"Then what about the people in Fucheng?"

"Some of the people in the Fucheng are related to the villages below. After hearing the news, they ran around here and there. Some people felt that the Fucheng was not safe, so they simply ran away with their families. The rest of the people are also in danger. Where can I still care about opening a shop?"

Mo Liyuan nodded, it seemed that the disaster situation was much more serious than he estimated.

"So how many casualties? Is there any statistics?"

The governor said with some shame: "There have been too many things recently, and I haven't had time to count them. In addition, after many people have been washed away, they can't be found at all. It's hard to judge what happened. After all, some people are lucky. They were washed away, but they still survived. And now, after a rough count, most of them couldn’t find anyone, and the lower officials didn’t dare to write randomly.”

"That's true, so how is the life of the people?"

"In the past, Fucheng and various villages had some accumulated food, which was barely enough to feed their hunger, but it was not a long-term solution. Now that the shops in Fucheng are closed, the outside is also in chaos, and the price of food is soaring. We can only wait for a while to see the situation. .” The governor said.

"That's right, how long can the accumulated food last?"

"It's about half a month away."
