Chapter 00056 - Winning the hearts of the people
When the refugees heard Zhao Shuo's voice, they quickly surrounded the high platform, and then looked up. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
They knew that this man had come to manage them, the refugees, and they were angry in their hearts, because in the past few days, the officials at the gate had either blocked them, punched and kicked them, and had not given them even a drop of water or a grain of rice.
They also had a surprise in their hearts, because Zhao Shuo indicated his identity - His Royal Highness the Prince, these four words are unattainable for these refugees.
With ambivalent feelings, they wanted to hear what His Royal Highness the prince would say, after all, no one was willing to fall into the grass and rise up unless it was absolutely necessary. Of course, the refugees have now surrounded Gaotai, and if Zhao Shuo says that he can't satisfy them, whether he will refrain at that time, then maybe he will.
Wang Gu took a few steps back and let out a long breath, the refugees rushed over just now, which really startled him.
"Lord Wang, Your Highness is surrounded by groups of refugees, do you want to send someone over to stabilize the order of the refugees?" Gonggong Feng looked at the refugees who were constantly surrounding the high platform, and asked Wang Gu very worriedly.
"Gonggong Feng, you don't know Your Highness too well, Your Highness is eloquent and strategic, and it is no problem to deal with these refugees." Wang Gu waved his hand and said with a smile.
If the refugees rioted because of Zhao Shuo's words, and then killed Zhao Shuo in a fit of rage, this would be nothing better for Wang Gu. After Zhao Shuo hangs up, he, the Yin of Lin'an Mansion, can push everything on Zhao Shuo, and then appease the refugees.
When the time came, Zhao Shuo, who threatened Zhao Gou's throne, hung up, and the credit for appeasing the refugees was also obtained, killing two birds with one stone.
When Wang Gu was 'thinking nonsense', Zhao Shuo had already spoken.
"Let me ask you first, why do you come to Greeting in times of suffering?"
"It's still to be asked, of course it's to live." One refugee said with grief.
"Alive!"
"Alive!"
……
After a few days of repression, the refugees were all resentful, and they all roared at the moment.
Zhao Shuo nodded, then stretched out his arms and pressed down, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"I understand everyone's feelings, and Lord Wang has also discussed the matter here." Zhao Shuo took a deep breath, his voice suddenly raised, and said. "After our deliberations, we have reported the matter here to His Majesty the Emperor. Come to think of it, it won't take a few days for the relief grain from the imperial court to arrive. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Shuo pointed at Wang Gu. "I know that everyone must still have doubts about this matter, but Lord Yin is here, and if you don't believe it, you can ask him, because the fold was written by Lord Wang himself."
The refugees looked at Wang Gu one after another, and Wang Gu was displeased, but he still spoke. "As His Highness said, the matter has been reported to the imperial court a few days ago, and the imperial court will not ignore everyone."
Zhao Shuo chuckled, this Wang Gu is really cunning enough, and he actually reported the good things he said yesterday to the imperial court a few days ago.
Although there is an element of lies, it is extremely helpful in reassuring the refugees. After all, the level of importance attached to refugees is not the same as that reported a few days ago and yesterday.
"So what are we going to do these days?" One refugee asked, questioning.
"yes, we haven't eaten in days."
……
"I have also discussed this matter with Lord Wang." Zhao Shuo said unhurriedly. "Before the arrival of the imperial court's relief grain, Lord Wang and I will find a way to get some food and open some porridge sheds, although we can't let everyone eat enough, but no one can drink two bowls of porridge every day."
"Is that true?" One of the refugees spoke.
The voice was full of surprise and excitement, they hadn't eaten for days, not to mention two bowls of porridge a day, half a bowl, to ensure that they wouldn't starve to death, and they would be content.
"If you think what I said is not credible, you can ask Lord Yin Wang." Zhao Shuo pointed at Wang Gu again.
Wang Gu looked at the eager eyes of the refugees, and his heart was extremely depressed, Zhao Shuo had never told him these things before.
But now he has no way to refute it, because the mood of the refugees has obviously stabilized, and he does not want to anger these refugees again because of one sentence.
"As His Highness said, the officials have already begun to collect relief food in the city, and by the afternoon at the latest, everyone can drink hot porridge."
While the people were cheering, Wang Gu suggested that one of the officials around him hurriedly led people to collect grain from the rich families in the city.
"Don't be happy yet, I still have something to say." Zhao Shuo saw the refugees' faces happy, and they all looked over, before continuing. "Everyone has traveled so far to Lin'an, and along the way, the hardships and sins they have endured are unimaginable."
Speaking of this, Zhao Shuo's tone became low. "You all survived with great difficulty, so I hope you can survive well."
"You all know that after the catastrophe there will be a catastrophe, for the sake of everyone's health, I suggest that everyone should not be 'at peace with the situation', find some trees, build a simple house, clean up yourself every day, wash your body frequently, and change your clothes frequently."
"Your Highness, build a house to live in, we also want to, but this material ......"
"Also, I want to take a bath, this water ......"
"Your Highness, there is still that clothes, we haven't changed."
……
Zhao Shuo nodded in understanding. "When I say build a house, I don't need everybody to build a house. After a while, we will have other measures, and in the end, we will choose to stay, to build a house, and as for the materials, Lord Wang will find a way. ”
Zhao Shuo looked at Wang Gu with a smile, and in Wang Gu's depressed eyes, Zhao Shuo continued. "Water source and clothing, Lord Wang will also find a way to solve it for everyone."
"Your Highness, you just said that other measures are ......"
Food, shelter, and clothing were all solved, and the refugees had a strong curiosity about the other measures that Zhao Shuo was going to say.
Zhao Shuo smiled heartily and said. "When you come to Lin'an, I think many people want to stay, and for these people, I decided with Lord Wang to give them a chance."
The refugees' eyes widened all at once, and some of them were constantly foaming at the mouth because of nervousness.
They were all waiting, waiting for Zhao Shuo's next words.
Zhao Shuo didn't make them wait too long.
"As the owner of the Zhaocai Restaurant, I decided to take the lead in taking the lead and recruit a hundred of you."
After finishing speaking, after a slight pause, Zhao Shuo continued. "Other shopkeepers and shopkeepers will continue to come, as long as you have a skill and want to stay in Lin'an, you can use your own skills to realize your dream of staying."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo did not give the refugees time to react, and said. "Don't worry if you don't have the skills. Lin'an City has also experienced war, and I have studied with Lord Wang, and there should be wasteland around Lin'an City, and we decided to rent these lands to those who want to stay but do not have the skills. You can get seeds and grain from the imperial court, as long as you return them at the time of the autumn harvest. After that, a certain amount of land is paid every year, and the land can be planted forever. ”
Looking at the happy faces, and even many refugees who couldn't cry anymore, Zhao Shuo said the last one. "I know that even if I say so much, there will still be a lot of people who want to go back to their old homes. I also consulted with Lord Wang about these people, and decided to take care of the food indefinitely until the war in the north is over, and send these people home. ”
Zhao Shuo finished speaking, and a moment later, the crowd erupted in a tsunami-like cheer. Large swaths of refugees fell to their knees, singing the praises of Zhao Shuo in their mouths.
"Your Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose."
"Your Highness is really a living bodhisattva who saves suffering."
"I wish Your Highness a long and 100th birthday."
