At the age of three and a half, I paid too much to support my family [Live]

Chapter 175

The royal city is divided between the eastern and western cities.

The east city is close to the royal palace, and it is mostly the residence of dignitaries, while the remote west city is mostly common people, and there are also some traveling merchants.

King Li had never been here before, but now he had to follow a group of victims to search house after house, pulling out surviving livestock, half a broken bowl...even a piece of sackcloth from the ruins.

The pampered fingers had long been worn out, and a little bit of blood was seeping from them, but he didn't dare to stop without authorization.

Li Zhi arranged things in an orderly manner, with a system in place, he had very convenient contact with the two little guys, and he was not worried that the two of them would encounter any danger.

"Old man, how are our casualties?" Li Zhi asked an elderly man carefully.

The old man sighed, and felt a little relieved: "It should be okay, we are all poor people who go out to make a living, and few are at home, but... the children and the elderly are afraid that they will suffer, even if they survive, there is no good. Is it still the same in the future? The house has collapsed, how can I live in the future..."

The earthquake this time was not too serious. According to Li Zhi's senses, it was estimated to have a magnitude of six or seven, but fortunately, the houses here are either made of wood or mud, and the damage is not as great as in the world.

"It's good to be able to survive. Who still thinks about the future? We live like this at the foot of the king's city. Isn't the people outside worse?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know how many times I have collected taxes for the Star Picking Platform. Fortunately, the Star Picking Platform didn't collapse, otherwise..."

"In the final analysis, it's the concubine Yao's fault. If it wasn't for her, how could there be an earthquake in Wangcheng?"

"Demon concubine, what a demon concubine..."

The people nearby complained, and the more they talked, the more excited they became, and they wished they could rush into the palace now and arrest the demon concubine and execute him. King Li felt uncomfortable hearing this, and couldn't help explaining: "Maybe it wasn't the demon concubine who wanted to kill her." Where is Gai Zhai Xingtai? Why do you think it's her..."

"Who else is not her?" said a thin commoner, "Our king loves her the most. How many things have happened since she entered the palace? Let's not talk about the past. What chicken, get all the chefs in the restaurant, the result? Several chefs have their heads chopped off!"

"That's right, the king wants to build a star-picking platform for her. It's so tall and still needs to be built... I heard that many people fell and died, and there is no compensation at all!"

"It really is the demon concubine! It must be her malicious idea..."

"It's not her..." King Li wanted to defend himself, but was blocked by the crowd as soon as he opened his mouth: "How do you know it's not her? I heard that the enchanting concubine is beautiful, could it be that you were also bewitched by her?"

"I heard that many eunuchs are fascinated by her. Let's just talk about the demon concubine, but don't talk about the king, beware of being locked up in the prison..."

"..."

King Li took a deep breath and continued to work hard. At this time, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of his eye. He couldn't hold back for a moment, and said angrily, "What are you going to do? Let go of Gu... let go of Afu! "

At this time, Afu has changed her attire. She is wearing the most ordinary palace attire with worn patches. Her delicate and beautiful face has not been smeared with dirt, but King Li still recognized it at a glance. she.

"Let go of her, this matter has nothing to do with her, and I alone will bear it!" Li Wang stared at Li Zhi with a slightly gloomy gaze, and said in a deep voice, "Please send her back, this is not the place for her to stay. "

Li Zhi was busy preparing rice grains. Seeing that King Li still had time to come to plead for mercy, he quickly said to the team leader next to him: "This brother is worried about the neighbors, please trouble the elder brother to take him to search again, so as not to know if someone lost his child." .”

"I'll let you send him back!" King Li frowned, his face extremely ugly, but no one nearby paid any attention to him.

Afu quickly mixed in with the peasant women, and together they washed wild vegetables, cut firewood and lit the fire, and were busy in front of the improvised stove, never looking at him.

"Afu," Li Wang held her hand and said in a low voice, "I'll take you back."

Afu broke away from his hand, and said calmly: "No need, the king should take care of himself first."

After finishing speaking, she directly put her hands into the wooden basin. It was almost late autumn and the well water was icy cold. Her white and delicate hands were turned red from the ice, which felt a dull pain in King Li's heart.

"Afu..." Li Wang held her hands and covered them in his arms, letting the cold water soak his robe, "You don't need to do these rough jobs, I will help you."

Afu was stunned for a rare moment, King Li's hands were worn out, and the blood mixed with mud stained her wrists, which was a bit glaring for a moment.

She seldom saw King Li like this, in her impression, he will always be the aloof king, giving orders at will, and possessing endless wealth and servants with just a word of mouth.

King Li had already stretched out his hand to scrub the bowls and chopsticks in the wooden basin, he had never done this before, he could only imitate the movements of others clumsily, it was funny and ridiculous.

"I can do it myself," Afu snatched the porcelain bowl from his hand, pushed him away, and said with lowered eyes, "Your Majesty, don't worry, my concubine used to do these things before."

Li Zhi was busy calculating the money and food, as well as the most suitable construction plan, and the winter was coming soon. If they couldn't build a solid house in time, these victims might just freeze to death.

Xiao Baiyan and Wan Ding checked the surrounding situation, only the earthquake occurred near Wangcheng, and there was a thick fog outside, and nothing could be seen clearly, as if it had been deliberately covered by a secret place.

"Brother Li Zhi, do we still need to burn bricks?" Xiao Baiyan wondered, "If we don't burn bricks, what are we going to use to build a house?"

"Wood, just use wood, or stone." Wan Ding suggested.

Li Zhi thought for a while and said, "You can make hollow bricks, which are lighter and save materials. Solid bricks are time-consuming and labor-intensive, so you may not get any benefits."

In fact, solid bricks are more resistant to earthquakes, but this is only a secret place after all, so there is no need to spend so long. Naturally, the sooner they help with disaster relief, the better.

"In addition to the house, we need to build a temporary porridge shed. The weather is getting colder and colder, so we can't let everyone freeze," Li Zhi said, and then said, "Without supplies from other cities, there may not be enough food... Hey, what's the matter?"

He can be very good at construction, but if it involves money, food and other measures, Li Zhi's brain is not enough, and he has a headache.

In the live broadcast room, Li Su said: "It is indeed a bit troublesome. We used to be goods in the world, but now we are a city with a large population, and the difficulty has increased many times."

"It's up to the local officials to deal with these matters," Chen Ye said, "Even if they are corrupt and have ulterior motives, and they are very clear about the situation in the city, you can ask those people to help you three as supervisors, as long as they Just make no mistakes."

Li Zhi immediately patted his head and sighed: "No wonder you are rich, daddy the richest man, smart people are smart, we can't think of this way... We should make them suffer a little bit, these should be their responsibility. "

So the few officials who had just been let down from the tree were pulled in front of the two little devils, Xiao Baiyan and Wan Ding.

Thinking of what happened before, Wu Cheng subconsciously hid behind, but his confidantes also panicked and fell into a ball in a hurry, pressing Prime Minister Wu to the bottom.

"Tsk..." Li Zhi sighed softly, "Anyway, he is a decent man who has become an official. Can we be more refined?"

A group of officials tremblingly looked at the two little guys beside Li Zhi, swallowing nervously.

They also wanted to be elegant, but those two little guys were like little devils, one was worse than the other, they were finally found and let down from the tree, and then they were caught again.

"That's right, my lords, be more gentle, didn't Zai Zai just scare you with flames?"

"It's not too much, Brother Wan Ding's kitchen knife didn't fall at all, okay?"

"I'll take you to the trees to see the scenery!"

"Isn't it? How wonderful are the two cubs, you are still afraid?"

"..."

The officials almost vomited blood in their hearts, but they still had to bite the bullet and apologize: "This expert, do you want to...?"

"For disaster relief, we need to get food and get food, and we need to check the population. After one day, I want the number of casualties of the people in Wangcheng, as well as the situation of food storage." Li Zhi paused, and quickly said, "If you can't get it, or What method was used—”

Wan Ding pulled out the kitchen knife skillfully, and said aggressively, "I'll cut you off."

Xiao Baiyan: "Hanging on a big tree!"

Wang Ding: "I still need to refine the human pill!"

Xiao Baiyan: "Yes!"

Looking at the familiar kitchen knife, Wu Cheng and the others felt their scalps go numb, and hurriedly responded to the requests one by one, promising to arrange manpower to do it immediately, and then they dared to leave quickly without looking back.

"The moth of the country! It should be chopped up and fed to the dogs!" the disheveled King Li said angrily.

Li Zhi looked at him with a half-smile: "What about you? The pest of the country? Without your connivance, how would they dare to be so bold? I don't know how many times I have done similar things."

King Li was speechless, his face flushed red.

Soon it was time to eat, King Li didn't want to compete with a group of disaster victims, so he simply stood beside him. At this time, Xiao Baiyan gave him a bowl of porridge. Glimpse the chaff inside.

This is the most inferior coarse rice, even the servants in the palace don't eat it.

"How can Gu eat this kind of thing!" Li Wang said displeased, "Gu's Afu can't eat this kind of thing, don't bully others too much!"

"Forget it, I'll give it to someone else." Xiao Baiyan left with a big bowl in his hand, and handed it to another victim. King Li watched helplessly that the bowl of porridge hadn't landed in front of him, so he just stuffed it. When it was in the hands of others, my eyes were full of disbelief.

The audience in the live broadcast room applauded.

"If you don't eat and you're hungry, let him get used to it!"

"I don't even eat rice, I think he wants to go to heaven!"

"That's right, if you get used to him, forget about eating, and save food."

"Zai Zai did a good job!"

"..."

"Yeah!" Xiao Baiyan quite agreed, "Only bad kids waste food, and they need to be coaxed to eat when they're old, so shameless!"

"Coax to eat, shameless!" Wan Ding held the empty bowl eagerly, looking at little Bai Yan, "Bai Yan, I want to drink another bowl, a small bowl is enough."

"I don't need to be coaxed to eat!"

"..."

When the victims gradually dispersed, King Li strolled forward, looked at the porridge bucket which was so clean that he didn't need to brush it, and poured a bowl of cold water with a dark face.
