Chapter 124: Reassuring the people

didn't expect that Wu Yan and Qu Hao, the two old foxes, would think of so many things in their minds in an instant, Zheng Yichen only pondered for a moment and said his thoughts:

"Now that the mountain road is closed, it is natural that we should find a way to open the road, but what Master Qu said is very reasonable, the local flood has just calmed, and I am afraid that the people's will be unstable, so the top priority is not to open the road, but to appease the people. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Yichen paused slightly, and glanced at Qu Hao to see if he had any opinions. These two old foxes are characters who have been walking for many years, and they have a lot of strategies, and they are afraid that they will not be surprised, and they will have to say more and more to attract their attention.

But seeing Qu Hao touching his beard with little chin, squinting his eyes and not knowing what he was thinking, Wu Yan nodded slightly in agreement, Zheng Yichen smiled slightly in his heart, and sure enough, he continued:

"Stabilizing the people's hearts depends on grain, which is not to worry, the grain transported the day before yesterday is abundant, plus the rain stops, the people can grab a wave, and with some river products, the grain should be worry-free. With food, we can move the people back into the city. Now that the floods have subsided, we don't have to worry about coming back for a short time, and the people have returned to their homes, and we have distributed relief food and grass, so that we can mobilize manpower to resume production and find a way to open up the mountain road at the same time. ”

Zheng Yichen finished speaking in one breath, with a look on his face, but there was still a trace of expectation in the depths of his eyes, looking at Qu Hao and Wu Yan. After a while, Wu Yan still didn't speak, Qu Hao's eyes showed a little joy, and he slapped the table slightly:

"Okay! I really didn't expect the third prince to have such insight at such a young age, it really impresses me to wait! What the prince just said completely said to the heart of the official, although the details are still a little insufficient, but generally according to the third prince's idea, it is completely feasible!"

Seeing that Qu Hao agreed with Zheng Yichen's thoughts, Wu Yan smiled, and then shook his head:

Now that the policy has been decided, let's start implementing it as soon as possible, I don't know how to divide labor next?"

Qu Hao is a local parent official, Wu Yan is a martial artist, and Zheng Yichen is just a first-time traveler, and the latter two are not good at overstepping. Naturally, they all looked at Qu Hao, waiting for the arrangement, he stroked his beard, thought about it slightly, and looked serious:

"Next, I will trouble the two of you, and I also ask Lord Wu to lead the whole city's government officials, patrol battalions, and stranded grain guards, and make every effort to stabilize the situation in Jing'an City. ”

Wu Yan nodded:

"That's nature. ”

Seeing that Wu Yan had no objections, Qu Hao looked at Zheng Yichen again:

"As for the third son, if he has the heart to contribute, the old man hopes that the third prince will organize the people to return to the city, I don't know what the third prince wants?"

This is Zheng Yichen's own opinion, of course, there is no reason to refuse, he nodded:

"If you can contribute to the people, how can the younger generation refuse?"

Qu Hao went on to say:

"Haha, that's good, the old man is in charge of material logistics in the city to ensure the supply of grain and grass for the two of you. ”

The three of them summed up with each other again, determined some details, and then left, Wu Yan gave all the most elite grain guards in his hands to Zheng Yichen. Qu Hao also managed to ask some families from the few big families in the city, barely raising enough people to let Zheng Yichen have the manpower to move the people.

At this time, it was close to noon, Zheng Yichen didn't have time to eat, so he hurriedly led people to the mountains outside the city, where a large number of people in the city were placed, and there were even many people who fled from other places.

Because it was lunch time, when Zheng Yichen arrived, several peasant women here were being organized to distribute food, and the few five or six servants were surrounding the porridge shed with all their strength to ensure the safety and stability of the porridge shed.

Zheng Yichen saw that everyone was busy, so he didn't walk over with great fanfare, but dismounted not far away, and asked Xiao Jian, who had been following him, to take people to help maintain law and order, and he quietly walked to the back of the porridge shed alone to take a look.

The porridge shed was busy, and Zheng Yichen, who was alone at all, secretly lifted the straw curtain, watched for a while, and saw that the rice porridge was viscous, reaching the standard set by Zhang Zimo that the chopsticks would not fall, and the people were also in order, and there was no robbery, nodding with satisfaction, Zheng Yichen thought about it, turned the direction again, and walked towards the gathering place of the people in the distance of the rice porridge.

There are some temporary shacks here, because of the lack of materials and manpower, Qu Hao has no way to do more rectification here, it looks a little chaotic, he walks in it alone, and the people nearby are eating silently with the rice porridge they have received, listening carefully, most of them are discussing when they will be able to go home.

Zheng Yichen was dressed plainly, and was stained with a lot of mud and sand, but he didn't attract the attention of others, seeing that the overall situation was still controllable, he breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to leave, to prepare manpower, and lead the people to evacuate, but a crowd in the distance suddenly made a commotion.

Zheng Yichen was a little curious, but the people around him didn't seem to be surprised, and they didn't look at it, only a few people turned their heads and cursed in a low voice:

"These rascals, nothing good all day!"

Just one sentence, but Zheng Yichen frowned slightly, and he walked over in a few steps.

In the distance, a group of strong men surrounded another group of people in the middle, and the two sides kept quarreling, and there were no officials to disperse at all, Zheng Yichen glanced into the distance, and the people he brought were soon disappeared in the crowd, and it would probably take some time to gather to maintain law and order, so he had to stay aside to see what the situation was.

I saw that there was a leader on each side with some green shapes confronting each other, and at the same time they were constantly scolding:

"Xu Laosi, according to the rules, you will divide half of the rice porridge and send it to you now, but it will be sent to us in Jing'ancheng. ”

"Why? This is sent to the victims from above, you are the victims, we are also the victims, why should we give you half of it?"

"So you want to fight?"

"Fight and fight, will we still be bullied by you locals?"

Zheng Yichen saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly went up to stop it:

"Don't do anything, this place is still under the jurisdiction of the government, and now there is a flood, you are fighting in private, aren't you afraid that Lord Qu will make trouble for you?"

Looking at Zheng Yichen who suddenly appeared, both sides were stunned for a moment, Xu Laosi looked at it a few more times, and suddenly quieted down. The troublemakers here in Jing'an City look more like ruffians and hooligans, and they thought it was a kid who didn't know where the sky was high and the earth was thick, so he didn't care, and he opened his mouth and scolded and scolded:

"Where did you come from? Want to be nosy? Don't look at you to count? Be careful that you hit you together!"
