This is a group of people, or in Yang Ruyi's opinion, these people can no longer even be called people.

It might be more appropriate to describe them as "The Walking Dead."

It's a harsh winter.

Yang Ruyi and the people of Wagangzhai were mostly wrapped in thick clothes to protect themselves from the cold.

However, most of these displaced people gathered together were in rags.

If there is a family, perhaps the family huddles together and protects each other from the cold.

However, many more people were alone, lying in a corner, motionless as if they were a corpse.

In their eyes, Yang Ruyi could not see the slightest look, as if everything in this world had no longer had any nostalgia.

They are corpses that can still breathe.

There were faint gasps and moans everywhere; There are also the cries of children when they are hungry.

Yang Ruyi was silent.

She looked back, and the huge Xingluocang was full of colorful warmth under the sunlight.

Before looking at Naxingluocang City, there was only cold black and white.

A city gate divided the inside and outside of the warehouse into two worlds.

"Okay! You old thing, you dare to hide grain privately! "

Baby... The child is going to starve, this is the last bit of food left for her mother, but she is your daughter, can't you!?

"Fuck off! What daughter!? Lao Tzu is going to starve to death, what daughter do you want!? I have already discussed with Zhang San, the fourth of his family has starved to death, just changed, and it is several days' rations..."

You can't! You beast, she's your daughter!

"Old thing, are you looking for death!? That dead child from the four Li families before, don't you eat quite happily!? No more nonsense, I'll even change it with you!

"Mine! It's mine! It's mine! "

It's clear... This is clearly my thing..."

Under Yang Ruyi's gaze.

Not far away, a man with a gloomy face took away the last bit of dry food that an old woman had hidden underneath.

At the same time, with fierce eyes, he stared closely at the little girl behind the old woman.

Like a hungry wolf, he saw a fat lamb.

The eyes that were almost transparent with green light made Yang Ruyi a little flustered.

And the words they said made Yang Ruyi's body feel a great chill.

I couldn't help but tremble, and goosebumps were already standing all over my body.

"Surprised, isn't it?"

Beside Yang Ruyi, Li Hao was also looking at the situation not far away.

However, compared to Yang Ruyi, Li Hao's eyes were much calmer.

He watched quietly, seeing the fierceness of the man, the pleading of the old woman, and the dying look of the little girl, who was only a few years old.

"You are a princess, you have always lived in the palace, and you have never seen the sufferings of this world."

"For you, brocade and jade food may be commonplace, but for these displaced people, even a piece of dry food, a bowl of grain, is something countless times more precious than gold and silver jewelry."

"At these times, a human life may not have this piece of dry food, and a bowl of grain is worth money."

Li Hao said word by word, and here Yang Ruyi's eyes were red, and tears could not help but fall.

She was a little gaffe, squatted straight down, and sobbed softly: "Don't say it... Don't say any more..."

Li Hao ignored it, and still said softly: "Maybe for you, you may have read it in the book," "The years are hungry, and people cannibalize each other." "； It is also known that "white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no one for thousands of miles."

"But have you really seen it? Perhaps in your mind, it is just an understatement in the history books.

Li Hao pointed to the distance: "But in the current Great Sui, the current world." Every minute, every second, this kind of thing is constantly playing out.

Yang Ruyi looked up.

She looked at Li Hao in front of her, and seemed to have some understanding.

She wanted to say something, but in the face of such a tragic situation, she could not say anything.

In front of them are countless displaced people struggling on the line of life and death.

And in the Xingluo warehouse behind them, it was full of mountains of grain.

For Yang Ruyi, the princess, this is a great irony.

In the past, she always thought that her father would be the greatest emperor in the world.

Even in the back, the world was in chaos, and she naively thought that as her uncle Yang Lin and her father said, it was caused by that group of ambitious people.

But now, the facts are in front of him, and Yang Ruyi is a little speechless.

Li Hao, on the other hand, said word by word: "Look at these people, Xingluocang's grain is taken from their people, even if they starve to death and cannibalize people, they can't enjoy half a grain in the end." "

The entire Sui Dynasty's food system actually had four main sources.

One is the official warehouse, which is stored from taxes and grain collected directly from the people.

It is used for military salaries, official lu, leveling, and loans. Supply of military warehouses.

The second is Yicang.

During the Taiping period, in addition to the taxes paid by the people, when the tax was collected every autumn, an additional stone or several stones of grain was obtained, which was saved in a righteous warehouse for the year of drought.

In the disaster year, Yicang became a guarantee for the people to tide over the difficulties.

The third and fourth are the surplus grain in the hands of the people themselves and the grain in the hands of merchants.

However, at the moment of chaos in the world, the people have no surplus food in their hands.

Merchants or families do have grain in their hands, but how can ordinary people easily obtain even a grain from them?

Therefore, Yicang became the last ray of life for these people.

However, this ray of vitality was ruthlessly cut off as early as Yang Jian.

"In the righteous warehouse, the life-saving grain of the people is stored; However, since your imperial grandfather Yang Jian, he has nationalized Yicang, taking the grain belonging to the people for himself, and turning Yicang into an official warehouse. "

People are hungry and hungry everywhere, but the profits of the warehouses are not given; If you do not pity the people but cherish the warehouse, how can you not lose the reason of the country? She

only felt that her body trembled involuntarily, her face was pale, and tears flowed uncontrollably from her.

"So... So was the father emperor causing all this?

"So... It is precisely because of this that you say that the father emperor and the Great Sui are going to die after all?

"Is that the answer you, going to tell me?"

Li Hao nodded first, and then shook his head: "This is not all the reason for your father, but as the Son of Heaven, he has turned the Great Sui World under his rule into such a form."

"He bears the world for himself, and he needs to bear all these repercussions and causes and effects."

"I hate the gold thread every year, but I make wedding clothes for others. The people of Xing suffer, and the dead people also suffer. "
