Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Return

This night, Wang Zheng did not feel the slightest sleep, so he sat by the pool and looked at the moon sky, and unconsciously, the moon was replaced by the sun, and a new day came.

Early in the morning, the inspection department in Ninghai Prefecture was busy.

The clerks had less work, they just picked and chose the important ones in some of the books and threw them into wooden boxes, and the rest of the old accounts from several years ago would not be taken care of, and it was useless to keep them.

After the scribes finished tidying up, groups of salts would come forward to lift the large wooden boxes, and they were also the main force of this transportation, and almost all of them had their own tasks.

Although it is only a few days from Ninghai Prefecture City to Wendeng Yingpan, there are still many people who are staring at him, and Wendeng soldiers are needed to escort them all the way.

Zhang Lian after yesterday's recuperation, although she is still sore and can't get off the ground, but she can also be carried on a stretcher, and the two Wen Dengbing received Wang Zheng's order and stepped forward to help Zhang Lian up from the couch to put on the stretcher.

"Heroes, you can't do this kind of hard work, so leave it to us."

At this time, Zhang Lian's father Zhang Keda stepped forward and scrambled to take the stretcher, and the two Wendeng soldiers glanced at Zhang Keda suspiciously, and seemed to be unwilling, but Zhang Keda's attitude was resolute, so he had to shake his head and go back to ask for Gao Liang.

Gao Liang didn't dare to make up his mind, and went to ask Wang Zheng again, and saw that Zhang Keda and Zhang Lian's family had already lifted the stretcher, Wang Zheng nodded, waved his hand and ordered it to be pulled.

All the men together must have a thousand men, and such a procession walking in the city is very eye-catching, and Wang Zheng carefully rode his horse out of the city through the west gate under the watchful eyes of the people.

"Lord Wang is going back to Wendeng, go well, go well, the road is peaceful!"

The general guarding the door hurriedly stepped forward and led Wang Zheng's horse with a smile, not paying attention to Wang Zheng's slightly uncoordinated body riding on the horse, and hurriedly patted a few horses.

Wang Zheng was in control, and it was not good to plant the horse in public, how could there be that idle man to pay attention to the others, but he went straight out of the city, and suddenly swarmed over the displaced people.

These homeless people were dressed similarly to yesterday's Zhang Lian, in tattered clothes and beggars, in addition to the people who flocked over, there were many hungry and weak people leaning on the edge of the city, looking at Wang Zheng's side with pleading eyes.

Shao Yong obviously didn't deal with this kind of thing, and at the moment, he pulled out his waist knife and was about to order the expulsion, but he was held down by Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng had imagined this kind of scene countless times, but he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes, and he could see that most of these people in front of him were honest farmers in the past, and many of them were artisan households and stove households.

They are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and now that they have reached this point, the government has left them to fend for themselves, and they are not even allowed to enter the city, which is sad.

Suddenly, Wang Zheng frowned and looked at Ninghaizhou City behind him, and not long after, he turned around and hugged his fists:

"Everyone has been able to get to this point, but it is really those of us who are officials, and those of us who are soldiers are not able to do our jobs well, and we have no ability to protect everyone."

"This is Lord Inspector!"

I don't know who spoke first, but when the surrounding people heard this, they knelt on the ground one after another, crying and kowtowing and begging Wang Zheng to take them in.

Huang Yang, Heizi and others, who were walking behind Wang Zheng, were also uncomfortable when they saw this scene, they all felt that their noses were sour, but it was Dong Youyin who was the first to act.

He squatted down to help an old man with gray hair, but he didn't expect this to cause a chain reaction, and the surrounding homeless people even cried.

"Adults have mercy on us!"

"The child hasn't eaten for a few days, and the adults have taken him in, and the little people are starving to death."

"Good for adults..."

Wang Zheng saw so many people begging at this time, and he couldn't take care of it, so he turned around and asked Shao Yong to arrange people in Zhuangzi.

When Shao Yong heard that Lord Wang asked him to arrange people in the Zhuangzi, he immediately agreed, but it didn't take long for him to mutter, and suddenly thought of what Zhuangzi was.

Shao Yong was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so he turned around and asked a small leader beside him to confirm whether there was a Zhuangzi, but Wang Zheng heard it:

"If there is no Zhuangzi, build one outside the city, so that the people can work and earn a living on weekdays."

In fact, Wang Zheng had been thinking about this matter last night, now there are disasters everywhere, and the number of displaced people is increasing day by day, and there are not many of these people who come to Dengzhou, and even fewer can go to Ninghai.

Most of the people went south to more affluent places, but even if there were not many people, Wang Zheng's ability was limited, and it still couldn't benefit everyone.

These victims are easy to feed, and they don't need money to recruit them, as long as they are half-full, they can make them want to come in.

Wang Zheng asked, it was really a surprise, there were many craftsmen around him who had been around for generations, some could raise horses, and some were craftsmen of their ancestors, even if most of them didn't know anything, they could make a contribution.

They can transfer smuggled salt and goods, and help at the Zhuangzi Pass in various places, and now is the time to employ people, and there is a need for manpower everywhere, and there will be no place to settle them.

In the grateful eyes of these victims, Wang Zheng went on the road again, this time nothing happened again, the wind and waves were very calm, the group hurried slowly and leisurely, and did not encounter the worrying interception incident.

When the sun was about to set, I finally returned to Wendeng.

The outside of the Wendeng camp was already full of people who came to greet them, most of these people were the families of Wang Zheng's soldiers, and the old and young of Yijingzhuang were originally on a blind date.

In addition to this, Takayama also waited here with a few hundred chief sentinels.

Wang Zheng felt back pain after riding on the horse for a day, and he still needed to make a relaxed appearance, which was really physically and mentally exhausting, but at least he could keep it all the time, which was a happy thing.

Several people searched the crowd with eager eyes, and finally saw Wang Zheng on a horse.

"Fight."

"Brother Zheng is back!"

"Brother Wang!"

"It's Mr. Wang Qian."

When Wang Zheng saw Wang Liu, he quickly got off the horse, led the horse all the way and walked over, and knelt on the ground in front of everyone without hesitation.

"Mother! If you are not filial, you can't serve your old at home, and you can't offer incense to your father. ”

Wang Liu stroked Wang Zheng's head, and his face was full of love:

"Zheng'er is a good man who stands up to the sky, you don't have to worry about being a mother, just rest assured to do it, and do it boldly."

Wang Yu'er took Wang Zhengda's hand and muttered:

"Fight for my brother... Yu'er misses you..."

Wang Zheng also took Yu'er in his arms, wiped away her tears, and pinched her little Qiong's nose by the way, and said gently:

"Silly Yu'er, look at you crying."

"Brother Zheng is making fun of me again!"

The moment he turned around, Wang Zheng seemed to be a different person, first nodded to Gao Shan and the sentry officers who were usually better, and then hugged his fists and said to the surroundings:

"Wang, thank you for welcoming everyone, this time I came back to report a news, the department of the Inspection Department will be placed in Wendeng in the future, please take care of it both inside and outside."
