Chapter 4935: This is unbearable!
Originally, Cheng Yu and the others were going to leave Jiangyuan City directly, but when this happened, Cheng Yu and the others did not intend to leave for the time being.
At least we have to wait until the guards of Jiangyuan City get the food and distribute it to these refugees.
It just needs to prepare so much food at once, even if there is one in this city, it will take some time.
"They are so pitiful!" Seeing these people are still crowded outside, trying to rush into the city, only to see someone being killed, everyone is a little scared and dare not approach.
Seeing their longing eyes, Coco really felt uncomfortable in his heart.
"The world is chaotic, and the people are suffering. These people originally lived a stable life, but because of the war, they were displaced and became refugees fleeing everywhere!" Xin Yao also sighed.
Looking at so many refugees in ragged clothes, it really doesn't feel like in my heart.
"I don't know when these refugees can stop fleeing and live a stable life!" Lin Yuhan said.
"I only know now that the refugees of our Cheng family are so happy, I thought all the refugees are like this!" Coco said.
"How is this possible? In order to resettle those refugees, how much did your brother think and how much it cost.
Such a large price is nothing to our Cheng family, but for other places, it is impossible to spend such a large price to resettle these refugees! "Yang Ruoxue said.
"Brother, can we let them all come to our Cheng's house?" Coco asked sympathetically.
"Coco, your brother can understand your feelings, but the world is chaotic, and refugees are everywhere. Even if our Cheng family has some strength, it is impossible to accept all the refugees in the world." Cheng Yu shrugged helplessly. .
"Then what to do? If these refugees can't get a good arrangement, even if you distribute some food to them today, they will eventually die!" Coco said worriedly.
Obviously, she has slowly understood a little bit.
Relying on this little help is nothing but a drop in the bucket, and there is no way to keep them alive.
"At least we have done what we can now, and they can go to other places with these grains. Jiangyuan City cannot accept so many refugees, but it does not mean that other places cannot accept it.
In the past, many cities hoped to attract more people, because cities can only prosper with population.
Now that the world is in chaos, the people of the world are beginning to flow, and many cities are willing to accept refugees. "Cheng Yu explained.
What he said was not deliberately perfunctory Coco, because this is indeed a fact.
Just like when the reputation of the Cheng family began to rise, a large number of people in the realm of comprehension flowed into the Cheng family. As a result, many cities are unsustainable, and their populations are greatly reduced. Therefore, various policies have been issued to attract foreign populations.
Because if any city does not have a sufficient population, it is difficult to develop and grow.
The cultivation world has a large population, but no matter how large the population base is, there are always places where there is a shortage of population. After all, for every place, the local population can only maintain the current state of development.
If a place wants to grow, it must absorb more people.
Therefore, during the war, there are indeed many cities willing to accept these refugees, but the capacity of each place is limited, and the number of refugees accepted is also different.
No place in the world can accept all the population indefinitely, and even the Cheng family is so rich, that is impossible.
Only a large number of cities are receiving refugees can solve the problem of a large number of refugees fleeing. It is impossible to rely on the Cheng family alone.
"I hope these food will allow them to find a place that is willing to accept them!" Coco also understands his brother's difficulties, knowing that it is impossible for him to settle all the refugees he sees.
This may be the best result. At least the spirit stones given by the brother should be able to obtain a certain amount of food for them, and it should be enough to go to the next city.
"Yes, your brother took out so many spirit stones, enough to save them from starving for a long time." Yao Na comforted.
"But how come these people have been there for so long and haven't delivered the food? Hey, your subordinates won't run away with money, right?" After waiting for several hours, Coco became a little impatient and faced the guard. Shouted.
"Women, wait a minute, it will take time to prepare so much food, how dare he run away with the money!" The guard began to shiver at the sound of cocoa.
He had long guessed that this woman was not easy, and he didn't expect to know that this woman should not have hidden her cultivation base, but that her cultivation base is indeed very strong, so how dare he offend him.
It was just that Cheng Yu took out the Lingshi in the morning, and the guard prepared the food until the afternoon of Shenshi.
But looking at the grain pulled on these carriages, Cheng Yu frowned at once.
"Why is there only so much food?" Cheng Yu asked.
According to the market price, a low-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for twelve taels of gold, that is, one hundred taels of silver.
The price of rice on the market is one or two silver and one stone. Generally, one bag is one stone, totaling one hundred and twenty catties, and a carriage can hold about fifteen bags of rice.
Calculating this way, a low-grade spirit stone can buy a hundred bags of rice, which is almost seven carriages.
But the spirit stones he gave were at least a hundred yuan, even if it was one hundred yuan, it would take seven hundred carriages to complete it.
But there were only seventy carriages here, and he had counted them. There were only fifteen bags on each carriage.
This is a ten-fold difference. Even if there is war and the price of rice has risen, is there a ten-fold difference?
Cheng Yu suddenly became angry!
"My son, now is the war time, the price of rice has risen several times, ten taels of silver per bag of rice." The guard said.
"Twelve taels of silver and a bag of rice? Do you treat us as fools? With so many people in your city and such expensive rice, wouldn't the people starve to death?" Xin Yao also felt that the price was too ridiculous.
With such a high price of rice, let alone refugees from other places, even their local people will become refugees.
"Miss Gongzi, I really didn't lie to you about this. The owner of Mipu is calling this price, and I can't help it!" the guard said helplessly.
"Huh! I want to see, which Mipu owner dare to swallow this lady's money, and show me the way to see if I don't demolish their store." Cocoa was immediately angry when he heard that someone dared to swallow their money.
"This..." The guard was trembling, not knowing what to do.
"Women, don't you forget it? There are so many people outside waiting to distribute food!" The guard knew that the price of rice was bad, and quickly calmed down.
He knows that the price of rice in Jiangyuan City has indeed risen compared to before. After all, there is now a war outside, and it is normal for food to be a little tight.
But even if the price of food has risen, it has not risen tenfold so much, so the rice shop must have swallowed their money.
And these people are obviously not easy to provoke, once the matter is made big, it will be difficult to end, I am afraid that even the City Lord's Mansion will be implicated in it.
Because the biggest rice shop owner in Jiangyuan City is Jiang Heng, the brother-in-law of the city lord.
The guard he just went to Jiang Heng to buy rice, but he reminded the guard to make it clear to Jiang Heng that the price of rice should not be too outrageous.
It's a pity that Jiang Heng is really too greedy. He might see that he can come up with so many spirit stones to help the poor at once, and he is probably wealthy.
Now I just hope that these people don't care about this matter anymore, or else they really won't be able to take the scene.
"Forget it? I have reminded you a long time ago, don't play tricks in front of me. A bag of rice and ten taels of silver, let alone ordinary people, even a monk like me can't afford it.
Today, if I don’t kill this profiteer who eats human blood buns, then I’m sorry for the cultivation of my aunt! "Cocoa was already furious.
Seeing these refugees who can't even get enough food, but they can't help them more, her heart is already very uncomfortable.
Now they are willing to spend money to help these refugees tide over this difficult situation temporarily, and fill their stomachs anyway.
As her brother said, relying on these foods may allow them to find other cities that are willing to take them in.
But these profiteers are still making money with such ignorance of their conscience at this time, how can she bear it!
"Little girl, let's forget it! Let's distribute the food to these refugees first, they are all hungry for a day!" Yang Ruoxue grabbed Coco and said.
Now that everyone has changed their appearances, they naturally cannot use their real names in front of outsiders.
"No, I can tolerate everything else, but I absolutely can't bear this. These profiteers can't make any money, and they even have to make such money. If I don't kill him, it's hard to understand the hatred in my heart!" Coco But I didn't intend to forget it at all.
After all, she lives in Cheng's family, UU reading www.uukanshu.com only sees people living happily, and most of them are very kind.
But I didn't expect that in this place, such a vicious person would swallow so much money from them all at once.
With just this little grain, how could it be enough for tens of thousands of people?
"What about this? Why don't you hold her?" Yao Na was worried when she saw that Coco mentioned the guard and left.
"You send all these food to me fairly. If you ask me something again, I promise you won't see the sun tomorrow!" Cheng Yu finished speaking to the guard, and took a few women to chase after Cocoa. NS.
He didn't worry about what would happen to Cocoa, but was afraid that this silly girl would be too real, and don't involve innocent people.
"Who do they think they are? Is it the city lord? Why should we listen to him?" A guard said after seeing Cheng Yu and the others leave, very dissatisfied.
"If you have the strength, you won't be a guard here, hurry up and distribute food!" The guard saw it thoroughly, and said.
