"Cooking? What are you cooking now? Zheng Wen showed an incredulous gaze.

"We have no food. What people who don't get food do, we can't even imagine. So, let's let them enjoy a full meal, which should stabilize them for a while! Zheng Shengdao.

Zheng Wen understood: "What a good idea! ”

He immediately took action, directing everyone to raise a bonfire in the open space, set up an iron pot, wash the rice, put water in it, and start cooking porridge.

Zheng Sheng found Yang Yi again, "General, let's send some people to the nearby mountains to hunt some more prey, right?" There are so many people in this meal, and I'm afraid we won't have enough food left. ”

Yang Yi looked at the thousands of people and nodded yes.

Zheng Sheng went into the forest with the soldiers, but he soon found that there was no trace of common chickens, rabbits and other small animals. Zheng Sheng guessed that this was probably eaten by the hungry people nearby.

Zheng Sheng had no choice but to take everyone deep into the mountains and forests, and the soldiers worked together to kill a big wild boar, which was worth the trip.

By the time we returned to the camp, food was no longer being distributed. The people were each holding a porcelain bowl that they didn't know where Zheng Wen had gotten, and they were lining up to receive Zheng's people to distribute the white porridge that had been cooked.

Compared with the small half-sack of grain received, the fragrant white porridge seemed to make the people even happier.

When the soldiers skinned the wild boar and put it in an iron pot with boiling hot water, the aroma of the meat soon spread, and the white porridge received by the people was poured with a spoonful of broth, their faces looked even more excited.

In the midst of laughter, Zheng Sheng also drank white porridge with a big bowl, and his cold body suddenly warmed up.

Zheng Sheng whispered to Zheng Wen: "We should boil porridge every day for relief!" Although the rice and grain are distributed quickly, the effect is not good, and you can't see a lively scene like now. ”

Zheng Wen shook his head and said: "We chose a simple and crude way, and we should have expected that the effect might not be good." But our purpose is not to stop there, to end the loose grain as soon as possible, and reduce the possibility of Shi Chong setting a trap. Returning to Luoyang as soon as possible and getting through this crisis is the key. ”

At this time, a small figure suddenly rushed to Liu Yan'er's side, and the soldiers also walked over vigilantly.

Zheng Sheng also approached curiously.

I only heard Liu Wei'er explaining to the soldiers: "She is here to thank me." It's okay. ”

"Thank you?" Zheng Sheng was a little surprised.

A middle-aged man in ragged clothes walked over in a panic after the soldiers left, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let her disturb the two adults. ”

"It's okay." Liu Wen'er said softly.

The middle-aged man smiled kindly, picked up the girl and walked away quickly.

Zheng Sheng and Liu Yan'er watched them go away, but at this moment, the man suddenly paused and turned around with difficulty: "Thank you!" Thank you so much! ”

After speaking, he hugged his daughter and merged into the crowd.

Zheng Sheng smiled, and his heart suddenly felt much lighter.

Liu Wen'er said softly: "Shizi, you should understand!" We are not atoning for our sins. It's about peace of mind! ”

Zheng Sheng looked at her side face, and then looked at the starry night sky, "Yes." ”

At the end of the feast, everyone dispersed.

Because of a full meal, most of the people quietly dispersed. But there are still hundreds of people who continue to stay in the short distance.

Yang Yi walked over: "Those people are still thinking about getting food, right?" ”

Zheng Wen frowned, "But we've run out of food. There is no food for tomorrow morning's cooking. ”

"So, we're going to get out of here as soon as possible. Take a break tonight and we'll be gone early tomorrow morning! Yang said.

Zheng Wenying said: "Okay! ”

Zheng Sheng frowned, he felt that this trip to Hongnong was a bit anticlimactic. But as Liu Wei'er said, he felt relieved when he heard the gratitude of the father and daughter.

However, he still asked Zheng Wen again: "When the grain runs out, can you bring another batch?" ”

Zheng Wen frowned: "Kewu, we have distributed nearly two hundred stones of grain in Xin'an County. Today, more than 300 stone of grain was scattered. But it was only distributed to less than 1,000 households. If I'm not mistaken, the news that we're distributing relief food here will be spread by the people who received it, and the victims from other parts of Hongnong will flock to it. Even the victims of the disaster in Linjun will come. But we don't have time to transport food, and we don't have any extra food at home. This is an abyss that will swallow our family. We have to do what we can. Now is the time to get out! ”

Zheng Sheng rubbed his head, feeling that he was doing this stupidly again. After all, it was his temporary plan, and after Zheng Wen arrived in Luoyang, although he started planning, he was disturbed by Shi Chong, causing them to come to Hongnong in a hurry.

Some received food, others did not. So will the people who have not received the food have a grudge against the people who have received the food, so there will be disputes?

Zheng Sheng sighed. But now, he can only leave quietly tomorrow according to what Zheng Wen said.

Back at the camp, he told Liu Wei'er about it.

Liu Wei'er said softly: "The prince is looking for trouble again, those who have been helped have been helped, and those who have not been helped are living the same life as before." But they'll remember tonight's meal too! ”

"That's right."

Liu Wen'er thought for a while, and then said: "Why don't we erect a wooden monument here before we leave, and tell those who haven't received the food that we have used up the food we transported this time." Apologize to those who didn't receive food? ”

"Great idea! Let's do it! ”

Early the next morning, Zheng Sheng and his entourage left quietly while the sky was not yet bright.

Naturally, the speed of an empty cart is much faster than that of a loaded car. A few days later, they re-passed through Hangu Pass and returned to Henan County.

Zheng Sheng and Yang Yi said goodbye to Luoshui and returned to Luoyang City with Zheng Wen.

Back at Zheng's house, Zheng Sheng got the news brought by Wang Sui.

"Shi Chong left Luoyang?"

"Yes, he is going to replace Sima Ji, the frail and sick Yanwang, and go to Xuzhou to be the governor." Wang Suidao.

Zheng Sheng felt helpless for a while, Shi Chong was only a thorn in Jingzhou who held the local civil power, and when he returned to Luoyang to do the big agricultural order for less than two months, he immediately went to Xuzhou to be the governor of the military power of a state!

Zheng Sheng held back his anger and sent Wang Sui away.

Soon after, Director Wang came to visit.

Zheng Sheng listened to Director Wang's congratulatory words, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Shi Chong asked for a foreign appointment after you set off for Hongnong. After that, the new Great Agricultural Order asked to reward you Nanyang Zheng. ”

Zheng Sheng's eyes widened and he sighed: "So that's the case!" ”

After Director Wang, Mao Bin, Jia Qu, Xun Sui and others also came to congratulate him. Zheng Sheng couldn't help but feel happy, and the dark cloud that shrouded him was dispelled! Shi Chong was transferred to Xuzhou, thousands of miles away from him, hoping that they would never get along with each other for a long time!

On the third day after returning to Luoyang, a Huangmen, that is, a eunuch, arrived at Zheng's house with the will of the current emperor.

The Son of Heaven is naturally not a stingy person, and after a long paragraph of text praise, he gave the Zheng family twenty horses of silk and 200,000 yuan, although it is not worth the value of the hundreds of stones of grain scattered by the Zheng family, but after all, the Zheng family also got a lot of invisible wealth.

Following the Zheng family, many grain merchants did donate grain to the imperial court......
