Chapter 22: Settling in and Aftermath (Second Update, Asking for Recommendation, Asking for Collection)

The walls are falling!

Riding a horse through the ruined wall after the fire in the south of the city, he came to the south gate four or five hundred meters away, and the collapsed city wall came into Zhu Guoqiang's sight.

"What's going on?"

"Your Highness, in the past two months, the Dongyu has been attacking the city with Hongyi cannons, and the city wall has been riddled with holes, and there are collapsed gaps everywhere......

Song Xuezhu, who was covered in dust, looked a little nervous when he reported it. Although the arrival of His Royal Highness has made him feel a lot at ease, but now, this city wall has collapsed, what if the East Captives come again?

The walls are falling!

Although it was only a section of collapse, the people under the city still looked like mourners, whether it was the soldiers, the people, or the people looking for useful belongings in the ruins, all of them showed a look of despair.

The city wall has collapsed, what can I do in the future!

At this moment, someone suddenly said loudly.

"Look at your faces one by one, isn't it just that a section of the city wall has collapsed, what's the big deal, don't forget that Huode Xingjun is here with us!"

Huode Xingjun!

That man made everyone turn their eyes to the world, didn't he! Isn't the prince of the world descended from the king of Huode Xing, there is the prince of the world, there are immortals, what else is there to worry about.

Facing everyone's gaze, Zhu Guoqiang reluctantly smiled.

"It's just a section of the city wall, let's rebuild it. Governor Song, you personally organize Ding Zhuang in this matter and repair the city wall as soon as possible, and ......"

Turning his gaze to the southern city, now that the fire had been extinguished, although the smell of smoke was choking, there were still many people in the ruins, as if they were looking for useful belongings in the ruins of their homes, looking up at the heavy snow in the sky. Zhu Guoqiang commanded again.

"Find a way to resettle these people, aren't there still many houses in the north of the city that haven't been burned, let the villagers take care of each other, and don't let anyone freeze to death." If it is not enough, vacate some of the houses in the palace. ”

"Your Highness is benevolent."

Song Xuezhu hurriedly waved his hand and complimented. This is not just a compliment, but from the bottom of the heart, after all, at this time, there are really not many people who can think of the people.

"Your Highness, more than 100,000 people have been rescued in the Dongyu camp, most of them are also homeless, many of them are women, how should these people be settled?"

In addition to compliments, Song Xuezhu did not forget the headache. Those people are all people plundered by the Qing army, most of their families have been killed, in history they are the spoils of war that make up "460,000 animals" in the mouth of the old thing, thinking about what may happen to those people, Zhu Guoqiang said.

"Didn't we seize a lot of tents, let's make a vacant lot in the city, let them settle down first, and the men will train to go to the city to assist in defense, as for those homeless women, let's concentrate and settle them together first."

"The prince is wise, but their rations ......"

"Take care of the palace in the palace, there are still ......"

Looking at the people who wandered in the ruins and lost all their belongings, Zhu Guoqiang thought for a while, and then said to Chen Changgeng.

"Chief, is there enough food in the house?"

"Back to Your Highness, there are still 360,000 stone grain in the palace, enough for the palace to ......."

Without waiting for him to finish, Zhu Guoqiang said.

"First take 60,000 stones out to help the people in the city, this fire, said to burn tens of thousands of Dongyu, but also burned most of Jinan City, we burned people's houses, we can no longer watch them starve, oh ......"

As if thinking of something, Zhu Guoqiang said deliberately.

"Governor Song, isn't this city wall still to be repaired, let's use work for relief, so that the people can get food to live on, and this city wall can be repaired as soon as possible......"

But can this wall be repaired well? In the surrounding compliments, Zhu Guoqiang's eyes fell on the towering but like a ruined wall, all broken like this, can it still be repaired well?

……

The twilight hung low, standing on the arrow tower of the royal city, looking at the ruined walls in the distance, Zhu Guoqiang could see it for a while.

This is Jinan after the Great War - there are still some pillars of smoke rising between the ruins and ruins after the fire, and even some fire balls can be faintly seen.

The most prosperous part of Jinan City has been destroyed in the fire, thinking of Jinan, which is like a ghost city after the "Jinan Massacre" in another world, Zhu Guoqiang couldn't help but purse his lips, and then smashed his fist heavily on the arrow battlements of the city wall.

This night, lying in bed, Zhu Guoqiang tossed and turned, and he couldn't sleep no matter what. Listening to the sound of the treetops outside the window being blown by the cold wind, his heart was a little hot. As a heartless guy, he never had much sense of responsibility.

But now, an unspeakable responsibility is uncontrollably emerging in my heart.

It's a really ...... feeling It's complicated!

Again, thinking of Zhu Ciying, whose bones were left after self-immolation, Zhu Guoqiang thought silently.

You can go well, and I will take care of this place in your place in the future......

Just then, he heard footsteps behind him.

"The old slave sees His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Looking back, Zhu Guoqiang saw clearly who the person who came.

It's him!

Zhang Quan, the chief eunuch of the palace!

How did he get here?

"The king asked the old slave to come to the front to see if His Highness needed any help."

Zhang Quan bowed and said.

"However, the old slave thinks that His Highness must have settled everything, so naturally there will be nothing that needs the king's help."

What does he mean by that?

Looking at Zhang Quan, Zhu Guoqiang's heart was full of doubts. Thinking that it was the ruins of the world womb that he had arranged for someone to clean up, he spoke tentatively.

"I've bothered you over there, and with you in the house, I'm relieved."

Zhang Quan, who was bowing his waist, heard this, but bowed his waist even more.

"Oh, Your Highness is polite, this is what an old slave should do."

After that, as if thinking of something, Zhang Quan took out a piece of jade pendant and said.

"Your Highness, when the old slave cleaned up the womb of the world, he picked up a piece of jade pendant, if I remember correctly, this jade pendant should be His Highness."

Jade pendant!

What jade pendant?

Staring at the jade pendant in Zhang Quan's hand, Zhu Guoqiang's gaze narrowed slightly, what did he mean by this? He has seen this jade pendant, it is on Zhu Ciying, how did it get into his hands, what does it mean that he takes it out now?

After thinking about it, Zhu Guoqiang said casually.

"Oh, I wonder where this thing fell, but it's good you found it, otherwise it would be a shame......"

"Yes, Your Highness, this is a gift from the princess to Her Highness before her death, and His Highness has never left her, hey......"

Glancing at Jinan City, which was burned to ruins outside, Zhang Quan shook his head and sighed lightly.

"I don't know how much was destroyed in this fire...... Fortunately, there is a prince who turned the tide at the beginning, otherwise it would ......"

Looking up at Shizi, Zhang Quan said seriously.

"I'm afraid that the old slave will also be buried in this sea of fire, and I just hope that the prince will continue to guard this place in the future."

Staring at Zhang Quan, although he didn't say anything, Zhu Guoqiang vaguely guessed in his heart that the body was moved by him, but what did he mean by this?

Since he doesn't find out, then I'll pretend to be confused!

After thinking about it, Zhu Guoqiang nodded and said.

"The palace is in Jinan, so it is natural to protect here!"
