    ¡­

    With Li Chengqian¡¯s expectation, the food finally arrived.

    No matter what other good ways to quell chaos, food is the only magic weapon to quell chaos.

    These grains are temporarily transferred from surrounding states.

    Along with the food, there were also political propaganda props such as Tang Long flag and Lao Li's head.

    Li Chengqian immediately ordered people to make preparations.

    There was enough food, so Li Chengqian ordered that Xuzhou, Chenzhou and Tangzhou open porridge delivery at the same time.

    On the city wall, people painted big slogans:

    "The imperial court and the people will tide over the difficulties!"

    "United as one, united as one!"

    "Crying for rebellion is a bullshit!"

    "Floods and monsters are harming the people!"

    "Down with the demons and monsters!"

    "Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

    In addition, Lao Li¡¯s head was also painted large and hung on the city gate.

    The victims are in a riot. It is impossible for them to come running as soon as the government officials say they want to distribute porridge.  Therefore, Li Chengqian asked people to spread the news.

    In this hungry group, the news of porridge distribution reached the ears of most people at a very fast speed.

    Some people don¡¯t believe it and think it¡¯s a trap and they can¡¯t go.

    But for the common people, no matter what they do, it is not just for a bite of food.  They followed others to cause trouble because they had nothing to eat. Now that there was a place selling porridge outside the city, they were willing to risk their lives to take a look even if they knew they would be caught.

    There are some people who want to find those who have been encouraging them to go into the city to grab food, that is, those who appear to be victims of the disaster but are actually secret gangsters, but at this time.  They're all gone.

    It was not surprising that the victims could not find them.  The victims were in great confusion. Who knew if they had dispersed to other places with the crowd.

    The victims didn¡¯t know.  The people they were looking for didn't get separated together, but were captured by spies who lurked in.

    With the list provided by Dahong and the others, the spies touched the people on the list, and then used the same method on these people to get a new list.  It spread like a virus, one after another, and soon the secret party members behind the riot were almost arrested.  The rest is nothing.

    It¡¯s time to put the porridge.  The farmers were no longer disturbed by the secret party's remarks, coupled with hunger and desire for food, so they all went to the porridge distribution points in three cities with the mentality of giving it a try.

    That morning, many victims were waiting outside the city.

    On this day, they were not driven away by officers and soldiers as usual.  Because the officers and soldiers were afraid that these victims would gather together to attack the city, they surrounded the city gate when they saw the victims.  Drive them away by force.  This also makes the victims feel increasingly insecure and have no sense of belonging. As a result, they believe what the secret party says.

    They were a little surprised.  But they were still preparing for the worst, and didn't really believe in the porridge maker, although they were all eager to have some porridge to drink.  But in my heart, I longed for it and came to see it, and at the same time, I was preparing for the worst.  They thought they would die if they were caught later, and some thought they would run away if something bad happened soon.

    The sun rises slowly.  The city gate opened with a creak.

    A group of people ran out from inside.  From the neat queue, it can be seen that this is a group of officers and soldiers.

    At this sight, the victims thought they were coming to arrest them, so they were timid and ran away.

    Those who didn¡¯t run away recognized it at first sight. The clothes worn by this group of people were different from those of the officers and soldiers.  He was actually wearing white clothes.

    She is dressed in all white, even with a white hat on her head.

    This man in white did not hold the swords and sticks of the officers and soldiers. If he came out to arrest them, how could he not carry the swords and sticks?

    Who is this?

    People guessed in their hearts!

    At this time, people saw that the people in the queue in white were holding things, but they were not knives and sticks, but large pots. The people at the end were pushing carts one by one, with black things piled on the carts.  .

    But it can be seen that these things will not hurt people.

    The victims wanted to gather around and have a look.

    At this time, another group of people ran out of the city. They were officers and soldiers wearing green soap clothes. Their appearance made the victims nervous.  However, the officers and soldiers only came out to stop the victims, and did not beat or arrest anyone.

    And the group of white-coated teams were cooking in a small stove that had been built outside the city gate.A nest of coal.  The black stuff they pushed out was briquettes, used to cook porridge.

    The briquettes have been sold to Xuzhou, so when Li Chengqian made arrangements, he could directly use the briquettes from Xuzhou to cook porridge.

    The briquette fire was lit, and the group of chefs in white clothes and hats also began to put the pot on the stove, pour in the water and start to boil the water.

    When everyone saw this posture, they really wanted to start cooking porridge, so they couldn't help but get excited, and they were no longer angry at the officers and soldiers in front of them.

    At this time, more officers and soldiers came out of the city and blocked the disasters, making the defense line even tighter.  Of course, it also made the victims feel wary.

    But then they saw the carts of millet being rolled out of the city, and they all immediately lost their mood and roared with joy.

    At this time, some of the victims couldn't help but want to rush forward.

    But he was kicked over by the officers and soldiers: "The porridge will be cooked soon, please wait patiently. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will lose the qualification to share the porridge!"

    Once these words were shouted, many people became honest.

    ?????????????????? And because the rice could already be seen in the pot, they didn¡¯t feel irritated by the kicking by the officers and soldiers.

    The water boiled and the rice grains were poured into the pot. After a while, waves of rice fragrance floated out.

    The victims who had been hungry for a long time suddenly became energetic when they smelled the fragrance of grain. They looked at the big pots in front of them with gleaming eyes. They would be able to eat after a while. After being hungry for so many days, they could  Eat until you are full.

    At this time, new officers and soldiers appeared at the city gate.  They were holding stacks of paper with slogans on them.  Some of them were portraits of Lao Li, scattered in front of the victims.  A policeman shouted to the victims: "Folks, the porridge is about to be cooked, and you can eat it in a while. You wait quietly for a while, watch your children, don't make trouble, and everyone will be able to eat the porridge in a while."  . These porridges were specially brought from other states and cities by His Majesty the Emperor, who could not bear the hunger of the villagers. His Majesty the Crown Prince personally delivered them to Xuzhou. Both His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Crown Prince are good kings who love their people as their own sons, everyone.  We must support it!¡±

    The common people's request was very simple, that is, to have food to eat. When they heard the catcher's words in a friendly tone, they had no objection in their hearts. They simply thought that if he could provide them with food, he would be a good emperor.

    At this time, the catcher waved to them and said: "The porridge is not ready yet. Everyone is idle here, and I continue to talk to the villagers. Do you think you can bring us porridge when we are hit by floods?"  A good emperor. Have you seen what he is like?"

    As soon as these words came out, the faces of the victims could not help but froze.  They turn to look at you and look at me.  Did the catcher's brain get caught in the door? He actually asked such a question.  They are the most ordinary people.  How could he have seen the emperor?

    They couldn¡¯t help but laugh at themselves.

    The catcher still didn¡¯t give up and asked, ¡°Have you seen it?¡±

    In order to satisfy the problem of the head catcher whose brain was caught in the door.  The victims replied:

    "No."

    The head catcher smiled at this time and asked again: "Now I can show everyone the appearance of His Majesty the Emperor, who loves his people like a son. Do you want to see it!?"

    Just now, the head catcher asked if he had seen the emperor. Everyone thought he was joking, so they laughed it off.  But now this question is for everyone to take a look at.

    As soon as the words came out, everyone¡¯s expressions changed, and then they looked at the head catcher in shock.  A wise man asked:

    "Captain, is the Emperor here?" If His Majesty the Emperor came to see the victims in person, that would be a big deal!

    The catcher shook his head, with a profound smile on his face, and said: "As I said just now, the food was sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in Xuzhou City, and His Majesty the Emperor is still handling state affairs in Chang'an, and  Discussing with the ministers how to mobilize other things for everyone. And what I want to say is that in order to let everyone feel that he is going through difficulties with everyone, His Majesty specially asked an artist to draw his portrait and send it to everyone to admire!"

    After saying this, the faces of the common people became solemn.

    The head catcher took out a portrait and held it up respectfully.

    This is a portrait printed with ink. Although it is a simple drawing, it captures Lao Li's appearance and charm.

    There is a crown on the portrait, which makes people feel his nobility at a glance.

    When Li Chengqian received these portraits, he couldn't help but sigh: "The paper mill has played a role this time!"

      If we hadn¡¯t built this paper mill, if we hadn¡¯t come up with a new papermaking process, we wouldn¡¯t have been able to use so much high-quality paper to print Mao Zedong¡¯s functional portrait this time.

    The victims stretched their necks and shouted excitedly when they saw the emperor's portrait on the paper.

    "Now, everyone line up, and we will distribute them one by one. Everyone should know that His Majesty the Emperor gives us porridge to drink, sends troops to rescue us who are affected by disasters, loves the people like children, and is our reborn parent. We must protect them well.  This image!" the head catcher said emotionally.

    "good!"

    "We will!"

    The people were emotionally excited, but at this time they were more likely to obey the command. Under the command of the chief, the officers and soldiers were dispatched, and the victims were queued up in eight long lines.  The officers and soldiers distributed the portraits.

    While distributing the food, he told them not to get separated after receiving their avatars, but to follow this team and come forward to receive the porridge later.
