Another Happy Ending with the Male Supporting Role Who Saved Me(QT)[MTL]

Chapter 38 The Incredible Brother 8

The flood affected the most severely the cities of Zhinan and Sishui, which were under the jurisdiction of Changwu City. The refugees were displaced and initially used wild vegetables and tree bark to fill their stomachs, but later, when even these things were gone, some brave refugees began to rob each other.

　　The refugees didn't have much in their hands to begin with, and after looting their own people, the hungry refugees set their sights on several large cities.

　　A large number of refugees were blocked outside the city gates, and gradually some people gathered them together and began to rob nearby villages or caravans. They even formed a certain scale, with more people than the guards in the city.

　　Once a riot breaks out, it is only a matter of time before the refugees enter the city.

　　The managers of several cities were helpless and had to ask for help from Changwu City. Wei Guang was urgently dispatched at this time.

　　After Wei Guang arrived, he first suppressed the two most rampant gangs of vagrants with force, then called on the wealthy families in the city to donate money and grain, set up free porridge stalls, and asked the doctors in the city to go out of the city for free medical treatment...

　　Even this was still not enough. Every day, a large number of refugees died of starvation or disease, or were even killed by their companions for a little bit of food.

　　Wei Guang knew that this was not going to work. The refugees were only temporarily calmed down by their military power. If the porridge stalls stopped providing food, they would riot again.

　　But the city lord only gave him so much military rations, and the soldiers under his command were all frugal and tightened their belts to make ends meet. How could they have any surplus food to give to the refugees?

　　As for the wealthy families in the city, their lives were not easy either. They had been squeezed by him twice and could no longer squeeze out.

　　When Wei Guang was having trouble with supplies, the Shen family suddenly extended a helping hand to him!

　　The shopkeepers of the Shen family in several nearby cities not only came forward to give money and food, they also recruited a lot of young and strong people in the name of recruiting workers, which immediately relieved Wei Guang's pressure.

Wei Guang didn't know why the richest family, the Shen family, wanted to help him, but this didn't stop him from having a good impression of Shen Wang.

　　"General, Master Shen has sent someone to deliver supplies again."

　　Wei Guang's eyes lit up, "Oh? What's this time?"

　　The soldier in charge of reporting also revealed excitement in his eyes, "Twenty carts of coarse grains, rice and flour, forty loads of salt, more than two hundred live pigs and sheep, and five hundred jars of liquor. The shopkeeper who delivered the supplies said that the wine and meat were specially sent to our Wei Family Army by Mr. Shen. General, you can dispose of them as you wish!"

　　Hearing this, a deputy general named Huang De beside him clapped his hands excitedly and praised, "Master Shen is so righteous!"

　　"Yes, thanks to Mr. Shen. With this batch of rice, the porridge stall can last another half a month!" A well-mannered military advisor next to him echoed.

　　Huang De ignored him, rubbed his hands, licked his face and said to Wei Guang, "General, do you think we should divide the wine as soon as possible?"

　　The other generals were not as shameless as Huang De, but when they heard this, they turned their heads and stared at their own generals with burning eyes, obviously agreeing very much.
