Chapter 104 Victims

In the morning, the commotion in Castle Town woke me up from the jade man's arms. With a hint of anger from the morning, "What's going on outside?" Sakurako and Kobata sisters also woke up at the same time, picked up their collected telescopes and started looking at Castle Town Town from the window.

Xiaobayun put away his telescope, "My husband, a large number of refugees came from the city town. Lord Yagyu is leading people to maintain order."

‘It will come sooner or later.’ Tanba is one of the main channels for Western countries to enter Kinki. If the disaster in Western countries is far better than that in Kinki, refugees will naturally move to places with less disaster. Such many victims arrive almost at the same time, there must be conspiracy. There are many detailed works sent by the hostile Daming of the Western countries. One is not properly handled, looting, chaos, and killing, and the plague will spread here. ‘Call the retainers.’

Sakurako dressed me carefully and said, "Mr. Husband, be careful."

‘Don’t worry.’

When I arrived in the yard, the retainers had been waiting for a long time, and the flag team standing behind him were fully armed. ‘Go out with me and take a look at our territory.’

'yes.'

Seeing that the gate of Bashang City was wide open, Yasuo Sonyan rushed back first, 'Your Highness, there are too many refugees below, so be careful.'

‘Have these refugees been inspected?’

Sonyan Yayoshi replied, "No weapons such as bows, crossbows, iron cannons were found."

‘That’s good.’ I tightened the iron cannon in my hand, and I could not say that I had to rely on the guy in my hand to speak. ‘How many of these refugees are there?’

‘There have been at least eight thousand people, and refugees have been continuously rushing from Bomo Country. This summer, no peasant soldiers were recruited by Daming from various countries, so the number of refugees is so much higher.’

I snorted, 'It would be nice to have those big names now. Who has the heart to fight?' My family has some surplus food, but when I think, even if the land I have won will be able to help more refugees this year, I won't do the business that suffers losses.

Under the protection of the Qiben, I went around the town. The streets and alleys were covered with thin fugitives, with ragged clothes and vegetables. The main food for these refugees to fill their stomachs was wild vegetables with turf roots. As for the immature green persimmons on the mountain, they had long been stolen. More voices in the bushes were from the weak and tender female voices, 'Sir, give me some food.'

‘You two, come here.’ I pointed to the sister who was begging for a qiben. The older sisters were about ten years old, the younger ones were only seven or eight years old, and their hands and faces were all black. Miaozi pulled the two sisters up and walked towards the riverside of the town, ‘Your Highness, I will take them to wash their hands first.’

I know that Miaozi Ninja's occupational illness has occurred, and every woman who is close to me Miaozi wants to check it out. Be careful, no big mistake. After a while, Miaozi brought back two clean girls. Except for the dirty clothes, it was impossible to tell that they were the two little ‘black men’ just now.

I divided the bean buns that Qiben brought into two, and gave them one to each of the two sisters, and asked kindly, "Where are you two from?"

After my sister finished eating the bean bun, her eyes still stared at the next bean bun in my hand, 'We are Harada people.'

I asked the retainers behind me, "Harada?"

Ishikawa Goemon replied, "Not far from Onoduocho, it was originally the territory of the Niko family, but now the wealthy families there have been subordinate to the Maori family."

So that's it. I divided the second bean bun into two halves and handed it to the sisters, "Where are your family?" This time the answer was my sister, "Mom and Dad are so hungry that they can't get up from bed, so I asked us to go out with everyone to beg for food and live."

After asking, I realized that Xiaohua sisters and other refugees survived, and they were walking along the coast. They caught some shellfish, fish, shrimps, crabs, seaweed and so on the beach to satisfy their hunger. They were still not satisfied with the seafood meal every day? Of course, when a wave hits a wave when it hits dozens of people, they may never see it - making fish food. People eat raw fish, fish eat raw people, and the law of nature is circulating, and retribution is unhappy.

Originally, if you continue eating seafood all the way, you wouldn't have come to Hachikami. The problem lies with Shige Arakimura, the lord of the Oda family. This guy set up a card on the way to enter Kinki and charged a toll. The price is not expensive. An adult costs five cents, a child costs two cents, and a truck of goods costs twenty cents. This is understandable. Everyone does this. The problem is that these refugees are even more poor than extreme poverty. If they have the last penny, they will not risk their lives to pick up shellfish on the beach for a living.

These people could not pay the toll in front of the checkpoint, and they could not walk back. There were more refugees behind them and could no longer find shellfish. There were more and more refugees before the checkpoint. There were obviously more and more refugees. A small beach could not accommodate so many people. Refugees who could not find food could only go north to the forest and find some wild vegetables and fruits to eat in the bushes. As more and more people entered the forest, the range naturally became larger. Finally, they crossed the mountains and ridges and actually arrived at the foot of Hachikang City - Minamitanha Town.

In my opinion, these three points are natural disasters, and seven points are **. Shige Arakimura, I'm giving me eye drops. Looking back, I'll make you look good. But what to do with larger tickets of refugees in front of and behind? Sending all the new continent to immigrate to get a green card is a good choice, but I can only rely on the Nanman whaling ship to immigrate, and the annual delivery capacity is no more than five or six thousand people. The remaining people cannot be raised in vain. The most common thing capitalists say is that there is no free lunch in the world. The number of people recruiting jobs in Jinshan and the number of people in Kinki is given priority. The starting rate has now reached 12% and is full. Now the only one who can expand recruitment is glass manufacturing, but it is already amazing to recruit hundreds of people. With the family members they can support, they can only solve at most one or two thousand people. There is a larger wave of refugees behind, so what should I do?

I was considering recruiting workers here. There was a large circle of refugees in front of a large house in the distance. There was a familiar Japanese saying, "God loves the world, may the Lord be with you." When I took people closer, I saw that it was the foreign monk Freus who was serving porridge and preaching. This house was the Women's College of Nantanba-cho Church that I built for Freus.

‘Monkey, come here, I have something to do.’

When Floyce saw that it was me, his face shook unnaturally, but he still came over honestly, 'It's Your Highness, I'm going to have something to come to you. I want to borrow some rice and set up a long-term porridge shed to help the victims.'

'If we are with whom, it's not too far away.' I looked around the victims, about 30% of them were girls, which is a large proportion. After all, if we give up our children, the simple people here still implement Western concepts - women are preferred. 'You have also seen that there are so many girls, the church and school will not ignore them.'

‘Of course this has to be taken care of. But the house and the food…’

I patted the back of the tall Freus, 'Don't worry, I'm also an honorary principal. The house will be built today and the food will be in place soon. The sweet potatoes in this season of Danbo will be cooked in a few days. Go back and make rice and sweet potato porridge for refugees.' Sweet potatoes are really a life-saving thing, with high yields and low prices, developed roots, drought resistance and good harvest.

‘Your Highness has a saint’s heart, and he loves your neighbor as himself, Amen.’ Freus cut a cross on his chest, and was calculating in his heart whether this natural disaster could make the Catholics bear fruit on the island of Japan.

The hometown of the Little Flower Sisters, Harada Village.

After the Xiaohua sisters followed the villagers out to beg for food, Xiaohua's parents, who were already hungry, suddenly sat up. 'Old man, have the two girls gone far away?'

‘I’m walking away. Let’s cook quickly. I’ve been hungry for two days.’ Xiaohua’s father touched his hungry belly.

Xiaohua's mother opened a tatami where the couple had just slept. It was full of rice, flour, beans, oil, salt, sauce and wine. Xiaohua's mother made a fire on the stove and said, "These two money-losing goods have finally left."

Xiaohua's father complained, 'You are not strong enough, and you have both girls after giving birth to them.'

Xiaohua's mother lost her words and said after a while, "We can't afford to take concubines. If you look back, you will definitely give them away in this famine. Let's have one."

‘Okay, you can’t stop the incense.’ Although Xiaohua’s father wanted to take a concubine very much, his family knew his family’s affairs. He could only live a life with a mouthful of more than a mouthful at home. Even if he was married for a second marriage, he would have to be a betrothal gift for a stone of rice. After having two girls at home, he could not save so much food. Although he had two girls now, he didn’t know if he could still get tough when he saved the betrothal gifts.

As the originally quiet Harada Village began to make a fire and cook, it gradually became angry. Many people who were still waiting to starve to death on the tatami in the morning got up one after another, and smoke rose from the room one after another.
