Chapter 1478: "·Food for Relief"

If good habits are a kind of moral capital, then, to the same extent, bad habits are morally unpayable debts.

A sudden and continuous rainstorm, whether Bai Feng is behind the heavy rain or not, the arrival of this rainstorm and the damage it caused to the southern provinces have to be blamed on the natural disaster; however, close to this natural disaster, Still unable to promote the rebellion plan.
Bai Feng also needs to use the greed of the imperial nobles to pour a barrel of fuel called man-made disaster on the raging fire of the natural disaster; only in this way can the situation of the empire develop in an uncontrollable direction, and the'Feng Yan Si Qi' plan can Was implemented.
The southern provinces were hit by a torrential rain that happened once every 500 years. The imperial granary is about to lose its grain. It is only a small matter. The floods that broke out washed away the homes of countless people in the south. Millions of displaced refugees began to follow. The muddy road that cleared after the rain fled to the central, western, and southern borders of the empire, hoping to receive relief from the empire and local people's assistance there.
Although Nanfeng was not informed in advance by Bai Feng, the families in the southern border were very hospitable to the food. Coupled with the situation of the sparse population in the southern border, they not only did not exclude the arrival of refugees, but opened the door Welcome the arrival of refugees.
From the arrival of the first batch of refugees to the southern border, to the outbreak of a large-scale refugee rebellion in the empire, more than 5 million refugees who lost their homes were accepted by the southern border; because the food of the five families in the southern border was not enough to support them to accept so many refugees, Bai Feng Came forward.
The formation of the Southland Alliance is, to a certain extent, two big families headed by the Bai Family and the Long Family, and tied the other three big families to the chariot named Southland; since the White Family is Southland One of the Alliance's largest vested interests, Bai Feng now needs assistance not just the Bai family, but the five major families in the entire Southern Union.
The military food reserves in Rome cannot be said to be much, but it is not a problem to provide enough food for five million refugees a year; this batch of food, Bai Feng first handed all to the Bai family, and then by the Bai family Come forward and give half to the other four families.
In this way, of the 5 million refugees who moved south, the Bai family can absorb about 2 million refugees, and the other four big families can divide the other 3 million refugees equally; with the entry of these 5 million refugees, the southern border The overall strength of the company will soon be improved.
There are hundreds of millions of people in the southern provinces, and tens of millions of displaced refugees. Only 5 million have been absorbed from the southern border. It has not much relief for the raging refugee crisis in the empire. Even completely different encounters may make Refugees have a heart gap.
The first batch of refugees who fled to the middle and west of the empire, because the scale is not very large, not many, the local nobles and officials are willing to do something for these refugees within their ability, but as time goes on, they will soon Regret it.
A town with a population of less than 10,000 people suddenly has hundreds of refugees, and everyone can lend a helping hand; but once the influx of tens of thousands of refugees is beyond the acceptable range of this town, the nobles in the town And officials are still willing to lend a helping hand?
Nobles and officials whose lives have been severely affected are no longer willing to use the limited food in their homes to help the nearly endless refugees; urban people whose peaceful lives are disturbed are neither able to help those refugees nor willing to go Help them.
The hungry refugees are watching the people in this town living and living in peace and contentment, but they are going to die step by step. How can they be reconciled? Seeing that the conflict was about to start, the relief officials sent by the imperial capital finally arrived with relief food.
Half of the food in the emperor’s treasury was ordered and transferred by the emperor Charlie, plus the food mobilized from the warehouses of various military sites and grain production areas; the total food allocated by the emperor’s side was enough to help 50 million refugees in one fell swoop. Quiet the chaos in the South.
The emperors of Charlie and the empires knew the seriousness of the refugee problem, so they made the most correct decision in the shortest time, but this did not affect the actual implementation of officials and nobles to benefit from it, which seems to have become The practice of the imperial court.
A bag of flour transferred from the granary should normally have one hundred pounds; but the official who receives the bag of flour usually can only get ninety-five pounds. As for the five pounds of flour that is missing in the bag Where is it, it is a bad account that can't tell the truth.
In fact, the fact that there are actually 95 kg in a bag of 100 kg of flour is quite good, and even more excessively, 80 kg, 70 kg, and stuffed with other things; for such cases, officials who are familiar with the officialdom rules Most of us open our eyes and close our eyes.
On average, when a bag of flour of about 85 kg is transported to the disaster-affected province by the Imperial capital officials, the remaining 75 kg is considered to be a very conscientious official; only 50 kg is left. It is not uncommon to see that everyone has different levels of greed.
About sixty to seventy kilograms of flour was distributed to the subordinate counties by the hands of the provincial officials, which was another layer of exploitation; when the county officials distributed them to the towns, a bag of flour could have forty pounds It's not bad, and even less than ten pounds often happens.
Urban officials who directly use these grains to help the people, some are not greedy, some are less greedy, and some are more greedy, but no matter what, the food they distribute to every refugee is a bag of one hundred kilograms. Whether the hundred pounds in the food are all food, then it is hanging.
Bai Feng had originally sent Adrien and Ivan, and each of the battlefield ghosts and shadow killers to destroy the emperor's relief for the refugees; as a result, after they attacked six or seven relief points, they gave up their tasks and took them with them. The food was returned to the Metropolitan Government.
On the sealed grain bags, some were printed with the red seal of the national treasury, and some were printed with the yellow seal of the local granary. When these grain bags were opened, it was not white swaying flour and yellow-orange wheat grains that appeared in front of Bai Feng, but rotten. Of various beans and unknown hard fruits.
Such a bag of food, let alone eat it, is not necessarily eaten by the animals raised in the house; more terrible is that the only flour and wheat grains in the bag that are still food are not well-preserved stock food. Instead, it is full of inedible grains with mildew spots.
Does this kind of food need to be used by Bai Feng to help the refugees from the south who don’t have enough food and clothing? Bai Feng feels that he only needs to wait quietly, and it won't take long for those imperial officials who can't spit out people's bones, and they will push refugees who have nowhere to go. They can be said to directly lead to this rebellion. Bai Feng again, but the decayed bureaucracy of the empire.
