Godly Student

Originally, Cheng Yu and the others were going to leave Jiangyuan City directly, but after something like this happened, Cheng Yu and the others did not intend to leave for the time being.

At least wait until the guards in Jiangyuan City get the food and distribute it to these refugees.

It's just that to prepare so much food at once, even if it is available in this city, it will take some time.

"They are really pitiful!" Seeing these people still crowded outside, they wanted to rush into the city, but seeing someone was killed, everyone was a little scared and didn't dare to approach.

Seeing their longing eyes, Ke Ke really felt very uncomfortable.

"The world is chaotic, and the people are suffering. These people used to live 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 rags, I really feel uncomfortable.

"I don't know when these refugees will stop fleeing and live a stable life!" Lin Yuhan said.

"I just realized now that the refugees of our Cheng family are so happy. I thought all refugees were like this!" Ke Ke said.

"How is this possible? In order to resettle those refugees, how much thought and cost did your brother spend.

Such a large price is nothing to our Cheng family, but it is impossible for other places to pay such a large price to resettle these refugees! "Yang Ruoxue said.

"Brother, can we let them all go to our Cheng's house?" Coco asked sympathetically.

"Coco, I can understand your mood, but the world is in chaos and there are refugees everywhere. Even if our Cheng family has some strength, it is impossible to accept and resettle all the refugees in the world." Cheng Yu shrugged and said helplessly. .

"Then what should we do? If these refugees can't get a good arrangement, even if you distribute some food to them today, they will die eventually!" Coco said worriedly.

Obviously, she has slowly understood.

Relying on this little help alone is simply 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 the food. This Jiangyuan City cannot accept so many refugees.

But that doesn't mean it's unacceptable elsewhere.

In the past, many cities hoped to attract more people, because cities will prosper only when they have a population.

Now that the world is in chaos, the people in the world are beginning to flow, and many cities are willing to accept refugees. "Cheng Yu explained.

What he said was not deliberately perfunctory to Ke Ke, because it was indeed the truth.

Just like when the Cheng family's reputation was gradually rising, a large number of people from the cultivation world flowed into the Cheng family. As a result, many cities are unsustainable and the population has decreased significantly, so various policies have been issued to attract foreign population.

Because if any city does not have enough population, it will be difficult to develop and grow.

The cultivation world has a large population, but no matter how large the population base is, there are always some places that are short of people. After all, for each 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 times of war, many cities were willing to accept these refugees, but the capacity of each place was limited, and the number of refugees accepted was also different.

There is no place in this world that can accept all the population indefinitely, even if the Cheng family is so rich, it can't do it.

Only when a large number of cities are accepting refugees can the problem of a large number of refugees fleeing be solved. It is impossible to rely on the Cheng family alone.

"I hope these grains can help them find a place that is willing to accept them!" Ke Ke also understood the difficulties of his brother, knowing that he could not resettle all the refugees he saw.

This might be the best result, at least the spirit stones given by my brother should be able to obtain a certain amount of food for them, presumably it should be enough for the next city.

"Yes, your brother brought out so many spirit stones, enough to keep them from starving for a long time." Yao Na comforted.

"But why have these people been here for so long and still haven't delivered the food? Hey, your subordinates won't run away with the money, right?" After waiting for several hours, Ke Ke became impatient and turned to the guard. shouted.

"Woman, wait a minute. It will take time to prepare so much food. How dare he run away with the money!" The guard trembled in fright when he heard Keke speak.

He had long guessed that this woman was not simple, but he didn't expect to know that this woman should not be hiding her cultivation, but her cultivation is indeed very strong, how dare he offend.

It's just that Cheng Yu took out the spirit stone in the morning, and the guard didn't prepare the food until Shen Shi in the afternoon.

But looking at the grain pulled by these carriages, Cheng Yu frowned all of a sudden.

"Why is there only so little food?" Cheng Yu asked.

According to the market price, a low-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for almost ten taels of gold, which is one hundred taels of silver.

The price of rice in the market is one tael of silver per stone, and generally one bag is one stone, a total of one hundred and twenty catties, and a carriage can only hold about fifteen bags of rice.

Calculated in this way, one low-grade spirit stone can buy one hundred bags of rice, which is almost seven carriages.

But the spirit stones he gave cost at least a hundred yuan, even if it was a hundred yuan, it would take seven hundred carriages to pull it all.

But there were only seventy carriages pulled here in total, and he counted them, and there were only about fifteen bags on each carriage.

This is a difference of ten times. Even if there is war and the price of rice has risen, is there a difference of ten times?

Cheng Yu suddenly became angry!

"My lord, it's a time of war, and the price of rice has increased several times, ten taels of silver per bag of rice." The guard said.

"Ten taels of silver for a bag of rice? Do you think we are fools? There are so many people in your city, and with such expensive rice, wouldn't the people starve to death?" Xinyao also felt that the price was outrageous.

With such a high price of rice, not to mention refugees coming from other places, even their local people will become refugees.

"Miss son, I really didn't lie to you about this. The owner of the rice shop is asking for this price, and I can't help it!" The guard said helplessly.

"Hmph! I'd like to see which rice shop owner dares to swallow Miss Ben's money, and show me the way so that I don't demolish their shop." When Ke Ke heard that someone dared to swallow their money, she immediately became angry.

"This..." The guard was trembling, not knowing what to do.

"Woman, why don't you just forget about it? There are so many people outside waiting for food distribution!" The guard knew it was bad when he heard the price of rice, and quickly comforted him.

He knew that the price of rice in Jiangyuan City had indeed risen compared to before. After all, now that there was a war outside, it was normal for food to be a little tight.

But even if the price of food has risen, it has not increased by as much as ten times, so the rice shop must have swallowed their money.

And these people seem to be not easy to mess with, once things become a big deal, it will be difficult to end, and even the city lord's mansion will be implicated.

Because the owner of the largest rice shop in Jiangyuan City is the city lord's brother-in-law Jiang Heng.

Just now his guard 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 this Jiang Heng is really too greedy. Maybe seeing that he can take out so many spirit stones to help the poor at once, he must be rich and powerful.

Now I just hope that these people don't care about this matter anymore, otherwise it really won't be over.

"Forget it? I have already warned you, don't play tricks in front of me. A bag of rice is ten taels of silver, not to mention ordinary people, even a monk like me can't afford it.

If I don't kill this profiteer who eats human blood steamed bread today, I will be sorry for my aunt's cultivation! "Coco was already furious.

Looking at these refugees who can't even eat, but they can't help them more, she has already felt very uncomfortable.

Now they are willing to give money to help these refugees tide over this difficulty temporarily, and at least they will also fill their stomachs.

As her brother said, relying on these grains, they might be able to find a city willing to take them in other places.

But these profiteers are still making black money with no conscience at this time, how can she bear it!

"Little sister, let's forget it! Let's distribute the food to these refugees first, they have been hungry for a day!" Yang Ruoxue held Ke Ke and said.

Now that everyone has changed their appearance, they can't use their real names in front of outsiders.

"No, I can bear everything else, but I absolutely can't bear this matter. These profiteers can't make any money, and they even want to make such money. If I don't kill him, it will be difficult to relieve the hatred in my heart!" Ke Ke But it's not going to be like that at all.

After all, living in the Cheng family, she only saw the people living happily, and most of them were very kind.

But I didn't expect that in this place, there are still such vicious people who swallowed so much money from them all at once.

How can this little food be enough to distribute to tens of thousands of people.

"What should I do? Why don't you stop her?" Seeing that Ke Ke mentioned the guard and left, Yao Na was very worried.

"You guys give me all the food fairly. If you find trouble for me again, I promise you won't see the sun tomorrow!" Cheng Yu said to the guard, and took a few women to chase after Ke Ke. up.

He wasn't worried about what would happen to Ke Ke, but he was afraid that this silly girl would be too serious, so don't involve innocent people in it.

"Who do they think they are? Are they the city lord? Why should we listen to him?" A guard said dissatisfiedly after seeing Cheng Yu and the others leave.

"If you had the strength, you wouldn't be a guard here. Hurry up and distribute the food!" The guard saw it thoroughly and said.
