Chapter 42: The Expedition

"Childe is righteous!"

Gu Xianzhi's face was blushing at Rong Ruo's words.

Think back then, who didn't have an ideal ambition or something when they were young?

It's just that the years have passed, and after several twists and turns, he reluctantly made this county order, and many years have passed, he has been old and young, in order to support his family, he has long worn out the original state of mind.

"The lord is the official of a place, and he should think more about the people in doing things, so he shouldn't give an order like that and close the city gate, in case this matter spreads, it will have a bad impact on the lord's official authority!"

Rong Ruo did have the idea of alienating Gu Xianzhi before, but after thinking about it carefully, he drew a line with Gu Xianzhi like this, and felt that he was a bit of a loss.

After all, for most of the year, she had given Gu Xianzhi a lot of things, but she couldn't cheapen him so easily.

Now, after Gu Xianzhi knew what she did, he took the initiative to find it, and Rong Ruo had a new plan, so why not use it in the name of his county order.

According to those displaced people, there is no government in the nearby counties to preside over the overall situation, and Longzhong County is the northernmost county town in Longfeng County, which is why so many displaced people want to seek refuge here.

The war in the north has not yet ended, and there will be more and more displaced people, and at present, the imperial court has not issued an order to allocate funds for relief, and if there is no official to preside over the overall situation, more people will be implicated, and maybe it will cause riots.

Rong Ruo asked Kuang Yao that when the Xiongnu attacked Yanmen County last year, not so many people were displaced and uprooted from their homes.

"Childe's words are true, but there is no way, although Longzhong County is not small, but there is not much grain in the official treasury."

Gu Xianzhi said, lowering his eyes a little uncomfortably.

Rong Ruo immediately understood what Gu Xianzhi meant.

It turned out that this person was reluctant to give up the silver taels, saying that there was not much grain in the official treasury, I am afraid that those stored grains had already fallen into his Gu Xianzhi's pocket!

"If the adults don't have to bother with the silver side as long as the adults come forward, will the adults be willing to give those displaced people a refuge?"

"Moreover, doing so is also a good opportunity for the reputation of adults to spread!"

Rong Ruo looked at Gu Xianzhi sincerely, waiting for his answer!

"Childe cares about the people, so that a certain admires, even so, there is no reason why so!"

persuaded Gu Xianzhi to open the city gate, and the corners of Rong Ruo's mouth unconsciously raised a good-looking arc.

One is happy for those who are homeless, and the other is happy that their plans for the future have been carried out.

Who doesn't know that money is a good thing?

Her Rongruo's money didn't fall from the sky.

However, now that she has the support of the prefectural order, she can be much more relaxed.

At the beginning of the second day, the city gate of Longzhong County was opened again.

It's just that as soon as the city gate, which had been closed for so many days, was opened, there was no crowd of displaced people outside the city gate as everyone imagined, and a large number of displaced people poured in at once.

After Rong Ruo received the news, he felt a little ashamed in his heart.

"Childe has done a good job, these are not Childe's fault!"

Kuang Yao saw Rong Ruo's thoughts and sincerely persuaded him.

Everyone has their own lives, and those people don't know what the status quo is.

Although Rong Ruo feels a little guilty, she will not take any fault on herself, this is the sorrow of people living in this era, and it has nothing to do with her!

……

On a winter morning, when the sky was slightly bright, a few horses galloped in the distance on the cold and desolate pipes.

On the calm dirt road, after the horses' hooves, a puff of dust is raised, which seems to blend in with the gray sky in the cold morning, and lasts for a long time.

"Childe, there is Longzhong County in front, let's go and rest, change some dry food and then hurry!"

In the galloping procession, the man on the horse at the head suddenly spoke, slowing down the speed of the team a little.

"It's good!"

In the middle of the team, a man wearing a mink coat pulled the reins with one hand, and slightly lifted the hat on top of his head with the other, and replied.

Today is the second day of the opening of the city gate in Longzhong County.

It's also a coincidence that this group of people came, otherwise, I'm afraid that they will have to eat a closed door.

The group entered the city, first inquired about the location of Yuxiang Building, and then went straight to Yuxiang Building.

Shangguan Liu entered Yuxiang Building, directly took out Yao Wenjie's waist card, asked for the private room upstairs, and then turned around and went upstairs.

"Childe, I heard that the displaced people in this county have all been placed in a temporary homeless house in the east of the city!"

As soon as Shangguan Liu's meal ran out, Liu Qi, the attendant next to him, came in and said.

"I didn't expect this Longzhong County Decree to be a good official who loves the people like a son!"

Shangguan Liu put down the teacup and chuckled in admiration.

"Childe is wrong, it's not this county that loves the people like a son, but a person named Rong Ruo, who paid out of his own pocket to build this homeless house!"

Liu Qi corrected.

"Oh, Rongruo?"

Shangguan Liu looked surprised when he heard this.

"Childe, when is the time to go, the dry food is ready!"

Without waiting for the two to say more, Liu San knocked on the door and came in, telling Shangguan Liu that the dry food had been changed and that he could leave at any time.

"Let's go! Shuofang County is still waiting for us to come to the rescue! ”

Shangguan Liu waved his hand and took the lead in getting up and going downstairs.

Now, the few displaced people who have been settled are nothing compared to the many lives that are still hovering on the brink of life and death ahead.

The group came and went quickly, and disappeared on the official road outside Longzhong County in a blink of an eye.

"Childe, this time, the above will send you alone to support Shuo Fang, this is too deceitful!"

Liu Qi got on the horse, thinking about the homeless people he saw in Longyou County, looking at the people in front of him, his tone was full of resentment.

"Who let us be from the Shangguan family, and it is already rare for me to be allowed to come out and lead the troops, and you still expect to give you 100,000 troops, and the majestic commander will go on the expedition?"

Shangguan Liu laughed at himself, and then took the lead in leading the way with a pinch of the horse's belly that he didn't care about.

After Rong Ruo's morning exercise, as usual, he went to the homeless house for a turn.

"Young Master Rong is here!"

"Young Master Rong, come in and drink a cup of hot water to warm up!"

"Young Master Rong, stay and have breakfast!"

……

After Rong Ruo appeared in the homeless house, he immediately aroused a warm welcome from everyone.

Rong Ruo was a great benefactor who gave her a place to live.

Not only that, because most of the homeless houses are women, Rong Ruo invited some embroidery girls to come over and teach those women or young girls with good hands and feet and good eyes to learn female workers.

Rongruo promised that after everyone learned, she would open a garment store and let them work in the garment store to earn money to support their families.

Although Rongruo's ready-to-wear store is still in the plan, everyone is still learning very carefully.

In their opinion, Rong Ruo opened a ready-to-wear store just to give them a fair and honest way to work and get paid, such a great favor, they really can't repay it in this life.
